Question One: How is the corporate culture of Gore different from other firms?

Gore’s corporate culture essentially differs from the other firms in terms of the managerial arrangement and structure. The privately owned company does not have the common corporate arrangement whereby the board of directors and the management exercise near absolute control of the organizational activities. Far from it, at Gore, the associates through functional teams make all the necessary decisions and the concept of teamwork is overboard. Indeed, Gore’s leaders do not struggle with strategy formulation and decision making. The corporate structure devolves all the strategic decision making to the associates. The leaders are appointment by their peers ...

Introduction

Today, more than ever, science is used by decision makers to know the best way to deal with a given problem. This is especially true for environmental issues, such as food production, water distribution and climate change. During the last decades, policy makers have been trying to use the data made available by scientist around the world to assess the impact of climate change on the planet, mainly its geo-economic implications, and the ways to tackle the issues associated with it in the most effective way.
Although there is a general consensus that there has been a steady increase in temperature ...

The purpose of Gore’s speech in Oslo, Norway on 10th December, 2007 was to sensitise the world on environmental degradation of the world that has resulted to global warming. He therefore calls for a concerted rapid action in controlling emissions that would preserve the environment. The evidence that can be brought out in the speech is when he stated that currently we dumped over 70 million of global warming pollution into the thin shell of the atmosphere with the amount seen to increase in the foreseeable future. He notes that the effect is seen where the polar ice cap ...

1. Meteors’ Hunting in the Antarctic Glaciers
The Antarctica is a popular and unique area for finding meteors because of the extremely cold weather conditions in this area (Gonzalez). Scientists find meteorites easily in the Antarctica since the meteorites are frozen in glaciers. Moreover, these meteorites are well-preserved unlike those that fall on earth or the sea, where they are hidden among other objects.
Identifying meteorites in glaciers is relatively easy. Since meteorites are dark, they are easily visible against an ice background. Moreover, many of them are preserved for years owing to the freezing temperatures of the ...

Chinese Economic Expansion and Increased Air Pollution

In recent years, China has been experiencing unprecedented economic growth. Chinese prosperity has had negative side-effects, including extreme environmental pollution (Wong, 2014). What researchers call “ambient particulate matter pollution” was the fourth-leading risk factor for deaths in China, contributing to 1.2 million deaths in 2010. Construction, industrial waste and greenhouse gasses are the major contributors to an epidemic that is creating a public outcry for government intervention. The Chinese government and other stakeholders have asserted that air pollution is decreasing and that the main culprits are not large industrial corporations. They point to strict regulations that they claim have been ...

The art of subtlety is one that has faded over the past 50 years, in many elements of our culture. The era of the restrained news anchor, sitting behind a desk and calmly reading the day’s headlines, has been replaced by the animated entertainer, aided by blinking graphics in presenting events that are much the same; however, to gain the audience’s attention, news program producers have to add many more stimuli than they once did. The same is true in the genre of the horror movie. In earlier years, when there was not as much technology in place ...

Paul Fryes discusses how the American politicians ignore the problems of the Black people as one of the largest disadvantaged groups in the world and how the Black people cannot create a response to the ignorant politicians by developing a political strategy as a group of all Black voters. As known, political parties give attention to the groups providing a financial contribution to their campaigns, the size of voters in the group, and loyalty of voters in the group. The main aim is to collect the highest possible financial support and collect most of the votes for politicians. The ...

The Walker Within: How Zombies Define Humanity
Since it first hit comic store shelves in 2003, The Walking Dead has captivated readers, gaining even more prominence when it was made into a television series by the same name in October, 2010 by AMC.

In 2013, Charles Ramsey helped three women missing for years escape from ...

Are twenty-first-century Americans more democratic than the Founding Fathers and would the U.S. profit by adopting New Hampshire´s Constitution?
Are twenty-first-century Americans more democratic than the Founding Fathers and would the U.S. profit by adopting New Hampshire´s Constitution?

It would seem pretty straightforward to conclude that 21st century Americans are more democratic than were the framers of the Constitution. After all, only a relatively small minority of Americans were eligible to vote when the country first came into being. To start off, no women were allowed to vote. Of course, slaves were not allowed to vote either, ...

Praise can motivate a person to make an extra effort in order to perform better in a task they are assigned to do (Fisher 204). As a child, while growing up, I received praise from my parents and teachers alike when I did well in my school work. I remember that this worked as a major boost to my writing skills because as the praises continued flowing my way, so did I work hard to perform better and prove to them that I deserved every bit of the praise. But one sad thing is that even with the praises, I always felt that ...

Cause and Effect of Gun Violence in America

INTRODUCTION
Cultural and social problems attributed to gun violence have been a prevailing phenomenon for years. In a society where one could be fragile to the effects of cultural crackdowns and psychological breakdowns, guns have been a prevalent tool in addressing violent actions. Guns induce both violence and personal protection, but using it would likely trigger more instances of violence than self-defense. This is best illustrated in the series of school shooting tragedies that have gripped the whole nation and the world in fear for their safety and the saddening reality of the disintegration of society. However, despite the heated arguments ...

The United States of America is arguably one of the most complicated political systems. The federalist system essentially concentrates power and political leadership in two spheres. In essence, this creates two centers of power. This complicated structure has found its influence even in the judiciary. At the federal level, the appointment of the judges is a prerogative of the presidential albeit with the sanction of the Senate. However, with recent removal of the filibuster in the Senatorial voting rules, it can as well be argued that the presidency retains absolute control on the appointment of the federal judges. This paper ...

Since the invention of television, scholars and policymakers have debate the need to regulate certain kinds of content on television. Many worried that depictions of violence and sexuality on television might influence the attitudes and behavior of individuals, especially children, who watched the programs. Others argued that the fundamental right of freedom of speech required the government to stay out of the business of regulating television. Today, the majority of evidence suggests that violent media content does, in fact, contribute to violent behavior. The effects are small and difficult to detect, but many studies have provided evidence to support ...

The Asian Horror films that we have viewed for the previous ten weeks were impressive to analyze and view. Last term, I had the experience of attending the lecture of a Kurosawa Kiyoshi film; this term is much different. In contrast to the last term, this term included diverse horror films from different countries in Asia, and last term was Japanese films only. Each film during this term has their own characteristic including directing style, unique way of thrilling the audience, and the way in which the message and theme of each film is delivered. Comparing the genres of Asian ...

Michael Pollan presents an argument on the World’s changing climate and what individuals can do to save life on earth. In his argument, he notes that individuals are left wondering why they should be bothered with climate change. What Pollan calls an “Inconvenient Truth” struck his mind after Al Gore managed to convince him (Pollan) that the climate change was threatening the survival of life here on earth. When it, finally, came to a time to change such electrical devices like bulbs, it was a really dark and depressing moment for Pollan. There was a big disparity between the intensity of ...

I have given considerable thought to a political career, but not so much to running for office or serving in an appointed capacity as to being an activist working on various civic reforms and social justice issues. Being a politician or bureaucrat in the traditional sense has no appeal to me but I can see myself working for nonprofit groups to bring about social change. Our democracy is in trouble in this country, and even though I was generally pleased with the results I did not care for all the billions of dollars that were spent. I have heard that it ...

Following The American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Paolo A. Volpi

Having a universal teaching model for students can be ideal, although not always practical (Stigler, 1999). Students across North America learn various subjects throughout the course of their academic lives. Some courses offered in some schools do not even exist in other schools. The teaching methods for each grade vary at the academic level and can be concentrated and streamlined, while other programs are more broad and generic. For the purposes of this topic, educational policies of diverse teaching methods have been researched and collaborated on a comparative level between similar lessons to give the students a vision of ...

Every year on the 4th of November, approximately 90 million voters in the USA cast their votes for their preferred presidential candidate. After this, in mid December, the country’s president is elected by 538 citizens; these citizens are members of what is called the Electoral College (Jamie, 2010, p. 8). The college is composed of voters chosen by each state to formally decide on who becomes the president. All the states are represented in this college; however, U.S. territories are not allowed to appoint representatives to the Electoral College.

There are people, both in the U.S. and in ...

Introduction

We may get back to some psychological thinkers to suggest that what really makes us support a person or an opinion, however we may not deny the fact that we only see what is shown to us and not really much beyond that. Gladwell has highlighted a very important issue of Warren Harding effect, the well known person from Ohio who was simply selected in the 1986 elections as he was tall dark and handsome, the media presented him like that and the people elected him however, Gladwell suggests that he lacked the political knowledge which was his core expertise.
