A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow

One of the most important concepts in finance is time value of money that means that money has its value. This means that a dollar in hand today will be worth more than a dollar a person will have in the near future. For example, that a dollar that is invested today in saving account or in some bond will have an interest added in it on an annual basis that will eventually result in the rise of dollar value in the future. (Business Finance Online, 2013) This occurs because of:

- Risk and Uncertainty is always present because no one can pre-determine ...

Is the Business of business simply to generate profits, or is it to fulfil other societal objectives?

The term business or corporate social responsibility has a deep meaning including business ethics, business citizenship, commercial liability, and sustainability. As clearly commented by Carroll, CSR has surely become a “front – burner” in the business community (P. 27l). When the term “social responsibility” of the business sector gets discussed in professional parlence, it is not only the commercial achievement of success. Rather it is the achievement of success by the company by way of legal, ethical, commercial and other related expectations of the society. Thus, the company or the business has to make appropriate decisions that balance the ...

The talk about ethics became prevalent in a few years of the twenty-first century. Particularly in the last two decades, our society has witnessed some very big corporate scandals. There is a long list including AOL-Time Warner, Enron and Rite-Aid. In Enron’s case, bribery was done, debts were hidden, and the markets for power and energy were manipulated. All these acts were not only illegal but also unethical; the problem become stronger because when a business acts unethically, the related businesses also get engaged in unethical activities. Arthur Anderson acted unethically by shredding the documents of Enron to save them; the ...

Social entrepreneurship is where a business aims to achieve a certain social goal other than that of making a profit.

The Beatles are probably the greatest rock band of all time and their musical style evolved substantially over the years.

The essay thesis is an argument over the transition from Help to Revolver where the experimentation in sound reach its zenith with ...

Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot by the Irish writer Samuel Becket is a powerful play attesting to the inevitable suffering inherent in human existence. The play depicts this agony even more poignantly by the fact that it is devoid of a well-organized plot and a conventional setting: “A country road. A tree” (Act 1). This is all the setting there is. .Devoid of these familiar elements, the audience or reader has no choice but to face one of the most fundamental elements of the play: an endless wait. As the play opens, the audience or reader meets Estragon, or rather Gogo, who is struggling ...

“The Day After Tomorrow”, a feature US movie of 2004 directed by Roland Emmerich, was undoubtedly a commercial success. There have been many disaster movies before, but quite a few of its predecessors might have been compared to it in terms of computer effects and quasi realism. The general public liked the effect of the new Judgement Day, and the box office of ‘The Day After Tomorrow” has exceeded 550 million dollars worldwide, while the original budget was around 125 million. The filming took place in the total of 17 locations, including New York City (with a hefty amount of special effects), Los ...

Introduction

Science fiction and disaster films often must take dramatic liberties with science and truth in order to serve a greater narrative purpose; events are compressed, effects are exaggerated, and realism and physics are thrown out the window in order to provide greater drama and spectacle (Revkin, 2004). In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, directed by Roland Emmerich in 2004, the world is subjected to global disasters brought about by climate change. The effects are myriad; global cooling sets New York in a coating of ice and freezing temperatures, glaciers crack and separate, and a “superstorm” is said to cause rapid climate ...

Still, there is nothing new. Just living every day and waiting for tomorrow without an expectation of a better future. However, at this age, all of my friends have already set a goal and each of ...

Ideological Position of Contemporary Culture as Related by Eggers, Foer, and Morrison

This allows the assemblage of a body of knowledge that can be viewed from different perspectives and provides insight into a topic and how it fits into the greater world around it.
