Joseph L Badaracco’s article “The Discipline of Building Character” discusses three cases in the workplace setting when the manager’s are called upon to take difficult decisions. The decisions that they take involves something beyond the moral dilemmas which makes the decision making difficult. They are faced with two right courses of actions out of which they must decide on one. In making these decisions, they are called upon to minimize or eliminate conflicts with their values or character, with the organization and with the society. In other words, the moments of the decision making are identified as ‘ ...

Charles Tilly, the author of War Making and State Making as Organized Crime, seeks to demonstrate how these two principles stand out as organized crime and reasons why this act is the worst form of crime. Tilly (1985) introduces protection rackets into the discussion as the smoothest form of organized crime and substitutes it to the two principles by defining them as quintessential protection rackets, who have an advantage of legitimacy. Moreover, these two principles stand out as the largest form of organized crime. Tilly (1985) uses the European experience in war and crime as an assessment of the ...

What factors contributed to the problem? Volcanic activity is a major contributing factor to the issue of climate change. The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of large quantities of water vapor, ash, dust, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, these sulfur dioxide molecules will react with water vapor leading to the formation of sulfuric acid, which is then spread all over the world through winds. The sulfuric acid formed in the atmosphere can significantly affect the amount of solar radiation entering the Earth’s surface and thereby the ...

Having a job is very important to many individuals, especially because of the difficult economic times that we are living in today. At the same time, though, another reason why getting an efficient job can be difficult, is because of the state of the economy as well. As Donald Trump mentioned during his debate with Hillary Clinton recently, American’s economy is a bubble at the moment, and one slip could end up causing a recession, like what has happened in 2008. However, it is also important to mention that as the years have gone by, the economy continues ...

Introduction

Mega-Events such as the World Cups and Olympics are so huge that it requires almost creating a temporary city for the massive event, with power, toilets, waste, water, and transport, among a host of other things. Such an event is inherently environmentally unsustainable, as it produces masses of waste and consumes unnecessary resources. While having no event is the most environmentally friendly event, there are many reasons countries hold why mega-events. However, it is beyond a doubt that those conducting the event have a social and environmental responsibility to reduce their impacts. This is true for all events, whether ...

The main demand was that education should be provided equally and the quality of education should reflect the needs of the culturally diverse student base within the campus. The strikes that were held ...

Ethical Issues

Human trafficking is a worldwide problem. For all practical purposes, this activity is nothing but a form of modern slavery. Every year, about 21 million people are caught up in human trafficking from about 130 countries around the world. Without a doubt, this is a serious issue given that it violates human rights that the United Nations takes very seriously - and should. While this pertains mostly to women who are sold into prostitution while also involving children and young boys as well who are coerced into forced labour as well. Given the atrocities around the world, the purpose ...

The short story Those Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula Le Guin explores a strong ethical issue and poses an important question of the value of human life and happiness which does not have obvious answers. In the presented situation, several groups of people can be picked out as stakeholders. They are the child in misery, the town government who imprisoned the child and keeps him there, the one or ones who have set such terms and enforce their consequences, and all other inhabitants and citizens of Omelas who know about the issue. Obviously, the main ethical issue ...

Article Reviews

In the introduction of this article, the authors provide their definition of race and claim that other definitions explaining it as an essence or an illusion are not adequate. Race, according to the authors, should be an element of social structure. They establish the perspective and theory of racial formation as an approach to understanding race. Their argument and evidence presented provides a valid explanation of race and racism that is more applicable today than those explanations provided in the past. I also agree with the authors’ contention that race is created by a process of social and historical ...

Terrorism and cyber terrorism become one of the main global threats to the humanity of XXI century. Nowadays cyber terrorism is the inherent part of the modern terrorism.

Both terrorism and cyber terrorism carry a threat to various states, organizations, groups of people and etc., but when the terrorism uses as a battle-field all accessible variants, cyber terrorism is only in the network. There is no doubt that cyber terrorism and terrorism have similarities but it also has a lot of differences. The ...

Abstract

Abstract

It is well-known fact that people in the US are watched, listened and even recorded against their notice and surely, will. It is also known, that all these undemocratic actions are performed in the name of security. The United States of America is not always related to an advanced technology, high-quality of education and excellent art venues, and Hollywood, sadly, the term “police state” often pop-ups and is being closely affiliated with the America. George J Bush introduced and implemented Patriotic act shortly after September terrorist attacks (2001), however, Barack Obama kept his legacy and Edward Snowdens’ famous leaks ...

Immigration Issues

Immigration is such a many-sided problem that it is extremely hard to single-out the most important parts of it. Immigration hits the governments that are hosting immigrants and of course, it hits the people who give up their lives either in search for a better destiny or in hope to find peace and save themselves. In this paper, I would like to focus on this recent wave of immigration that has consumed Europe in the past few years, because of the multiple war zones that have occurred in the East of our planet. I believe that the receiving sides ...

Introduction

The international community is experiencing rapid social, political, economic and technological advancements that have enhanced communication and the transportation of money that is used in the financing of terrorist activities. Besides, this development has exposed the financial systems to abuse by organized criminals. The international community has established strategies to curb money laundry and terrorism financing so as to enhance the security of the world. In the past decade, proceeds from money laundry have been used to finance ...

Absolut vodka has developed into one of the largest spirit corporations in the world. The Swedish company’s campaign of “constant creativity” have caused it to perform strongly over the years. Absolut was founded in 1879 by Lars Olsson Smith, and by the time he was in his twenties, Smith controlled one-third of the Swedish vodka production by improving the production process and using local products (Pernod Ricard). Distilling this fine liquor in a country where vodka was already a rich tradition, Smith invented the process of continuous distillation, where the liquor is continuously distilled through its production. This ...

The feminist movement has been a vibrant one for the past couple of decades, not only in the United States but all across the world. There have been politically powerful and culturally influential campaigns and movements regarding women’s liberation and consciousness. The feminist movement involved several projects in the government bureaucracies, different institutions, and professions. These movements have brought about major changes in the lives of many women and their professions. Despite the acceptance of women’s equality and prominent accomplishments, the feminist movement has yet to achieve its absolute goals of gender equality (Epstein 2001). The focus ...

Introduction

In November 1960, the Republicans lost the presidential election, and a Democratic Party candidate John Fitzgerald Kennedy became the president of the United States. A relatively young man (43 years), he represented a new generation of American politicians. Veterans of the war years, a generation embodied by Dwight Eisenhower, were to leave the politics in the US. In the Soviet Union, a “war generation” remained in power until the mid-1980s. In France, Germany, and other countries of the Western Europe the same generation continued to reign. The Kennedy team was to revise the postulates of the military-political line of ...

Environmentalism ought to be examined in a philosophical context to develop an understanding of the different factors at play and even the viability of some strategies of environmentalism. The issue of public land leased to coal mining companies by the Department of Interior provides a perfect case scenario to explore the philosophical aspects of this issue with an emphasis on the factors that are at play in a tussle. A lawsuit has been filed against the Department of Interior because it leases public land to coal mining companies despite the well-documented evidence that coal mining is the world’s ...

The modern day society is technologically oriented, with virtually every activity being conducted with the help of various forms of technology. The implication is that the world has seen a massive rate of large-scale production of technology devices. Estimates point out that close to 50 million tons of e-waste are produced globally (Lepawsky & Mcnabb, 2010). The developed countries are the primary producers of this waste, with the role of doing away with the waste left to the poorer developing countries. In the US and Canada for example, close to 80% of all electronic waste is exported to Asia and ...

Introduction

Before the collapse of the USSR the international community was divided into two opposing parts: the socialist and capitalist countries. Among the latter, there were so-called third countries - a group of developing (mainly underdeveloped) countries ("Third World Definition | Investopedia", 2011). This division was confrontational due to the idealistic notion that the whole world is going through a transition to socialism, which represents a higher stage of economic development and social justice. In socialist countries, it was believed that socialism can be achieved without going through a long, painful years of feudal and capitalist development. Currently there is no ...

Ethical marketing practices is a trend that is on the rise in the expectation of businesses around the globe. That being said, the inclination to market ethically is not always something that goes hand in hand with the pressures to meet sales goals. Where a company has to strive their balance with ethics and marketing is through providing an accurate representation of their products overall. By doing this, the company can protect themselves from negative press and even potential lawsuits, (Olenski, 2015). One company that has major issues with marketing practices is the coffee giant Starbucks. Starbucks, although a ...

I find the Rachel R. Chapman ethnography intriguing because it gives very interesting insights in a global health initiative on maternal health care and how maternal mortality rates in Southern Africa, particularly in Central Mozambique, can be improved. Reading on, I find some of the things addressed in the book weird and absurd; it doesn’t make sense to me that pregnancies are actually, for the longest time possible, hidden from others, or how they expose someone to social threats, envy and ill will. I think pregnancy is supposed bring joy to the pregnant woman and the community at ...

They may be characterized by their interest or stake in the company. They may also have the potential to contribute to the successful conduct of business for an organization.

Soon after independence, the third world states migration from rural areas to urban centers has been on the increase citing difference in economic opportunities and natural conditions, for example, the climate, soils or relief. Thus people migrate as their response to this. The high and better level ...

The cold war marked a period of political tensions between numerous countries after the end of t the Second World War. These tensions were mainly between the communist nations and the capitalist countries. The most opposing parties within this conflict were the USA and the now defunct USSR.

Sovereign Statehood Is A Modern Fiction That Has Been Universalized Through Imperialism And Decolonization. Critically Analyze This Statement Using Examples From More Than One Part Of The World

Introduction

Sovereignty in international relations is a concept that indicates that a state is constitutionally independent. In politics, a state is considered sovereign if it exists in a legal, absolute, and unitary condition where the state is equal to other states in international law and is not answerable to any other foreign state (Biersteker and Weber, 1996). A sovereign state has clearly defined borders within which people reside and the government of ...

Movie Review (Virunga, 2014)

Q1.) The documentary, Virunga, is made effective by the fact that it combines advocacy with immediacy. It is directed by Orlando von Einsiedel and focuses on a national park called Virunga, located in eastern Congo. The various issues it seeks to cover make it a unique documentary. It advocates for natural conservation and concern for a rare breed of gorillas, who face the threat of existence from armed poachers and SOCO International, which is an international oil exploration firm in Congo. The park, formerly known as Albert National Park, also faces a threat from mining interests. (Scheib) Virunga gives ...

Promising for the future is an endeavor set for at least unqualified disappointments. The factors involved in the dynamics of reality cannot be totally controlled, oftentimes have their own lives or evolutionary stages to follow, to conform to someone’s idea of how things should be. The idea of ‘should be’ is a visionary’s dream and a realist’s joke. The promise of imperialism in Conrad’s time and perspective as J. Hillis Miller understood it can either be a contrived promise from the imperialist power to deceive the dominated people into ...

However, they all advocate for the establishment of stable, transparent and credible governance in the underdeveloped countries.

In his book, Easterly ...

This article explores how religious diversity, management of oil resources and totalitarian leadership have contributed to conflicts in the Middle East region. The Middle East is the territory that has the abundance of totalitarian countries, ...

Claim

It is extremely legal for manufacturers in the United States to intentionally practice planned obsolescence in the design of their product.

Explanation for the Claim

Planned obsolescence is a business practice of deliberately designing products limiting its lifespan or making it unfashionable after a given period. The main purpose of this strategy is to make consumers feel the need to buy new products that the manufacturer will have provided. Most of the time, the products are purposely intended to fizzle out after the warranty has expired. This manufacturing strategy is widespread in America with digital device companies being the most notorious for its ...

The book “Late Victorian Holocausts: El Nino Families and the Making of the Third World” by Mike Davis is relevant within the circles of world economics.

Article Analysis: World Poverty

Introduction In 2015, the United Nations is working with the World Bank’s ambitious plan to end extreme global poverty by the year 2030. This means that for the first time, every person in the world would afford common items and food to make their life easier. Many experts would debate on the main cause of poverty as it could be the changing trends in a certain country’s economy. Other factors would also include the lack of education, overpopulation, the presence of epidemic diseases like AIDS and malaria and even environmental problems like drought. Extreme weather can cause ...

American nationalism is the kind that is concerned with asserting America on the international scene as a nation as well as promoting its culture and unity of purpose. This would imply the direct actions of the American government aimed at advancing the position and role of America on the international scene. It also entails the actions of multinationals whose mother country is America, movements, and non-profit organizations advancing their ideals, and the elements of American culture that inform their charters and terms of services on the international scene. Orientalism is an outlook that emphasizes, projects, imagines, misrepresents and exaggerates ...

Global warming has been affecting the lives of the people in all areas around the world regardless of the country’s geographical location. The effects of Global Warming are consequences of man’s activities and decisions that are governed by their personal interests and gains. Therefore, as the population in different areas continue to increase, the competition in obtaining life necessities also heightens, and the number and intensity of destructive activities of man continue to worsen the ...

The debate between capitalism and socialism has leaned unevenly towards capitalism in the past decades, after the threat represented by communism has silenced the voices of pundits and academics almost entirely. However, history has shown that global capitalism does not necessarily answer the economic problems of poor countries, and even developed nations, such as the United States, are struggling in this economic environment. While some authors argue that the precepts of capitalism and socialism are too different to be combined, and capitalism and socialism only make sense in their purest forms, others believe that socialist ideas must be engrained ...

The Cultural Effects on Economic Development in Sub-Saharan Africa

Development can easily be defined as a gradual, warm and considerate process that attempts to alleviate man’s technological and economic standards or conditions without disrespecting or disregarding his social, political and cultural values (Edigin, 2010). Consequently, it is impossible to divorce development from a people’s culture. For any development to be successful, it must have its roots in the culture of people (Nzongola-Ntalaja, 1996). The cultural patterns of any given community will determine whether change will be welcomed or rejected by that community. If a culture is supported and protected, there are usually a number of valuable ...

Background information

The need for clean water for use by humanity has since time immemorial been an area of concern with scientists and scholars inventing methods that prove to be more efficient than their predecessors. The ultimate goal has always been the removal of undesirable chemicals and pathogens that would, however, render the water unfit for human and industrial consumption. In today’s contemporary society, human activity has culminated into pollution of the natural environment including water catchment areas. This has therefore made water unfit for consumption thereby prompting for more cost-effective and efficient methods for purification of this natural resource. ...
