One concept that our political leaders like to kick around a lot is the notion of equality. It is one of the founding concepts in the American Constitution, and it was one of the three principles in the French Revolution (liberty, equality and brotherhood). It is one of those words that draws people along with it and resonates, because none of us wants to have less than those around us. In the area of energy, as Dr. Vandana Shiva points out, there are two competing modes of equality. One has all people elevating their standard of living, in terms ...

Under most circumstances the grocery store would not be liable if someone is a victim of a crime near the story but not actually on the store’s property or premises. The reason for this outcome is twofold.

An intentional tort is one in which the defendant (the grocery store) commits an act whose results it intends accomplish. ...

Abstract

Shopping is one of the most important parts in our daily life. We, as consumers, shop almost every day, whether it is a quick stop to the seven-eleven down the corner, or a family shopping in a large store like Wal-Mart at the weekend.

On the other hand, as the suppliers in the shopping chain, the owners or investors of the stores have much more to consider when, where or even which kind of store ...

Which is a better choice at the grocery store: paper bag? Plastic bag? Or tissue bag? Explain your answer.The best choice at the grocery store is to bring a used bag.

Especially noteworthy is the fact that small essential businesses such as grocery stores and drugstores are closing down their stores in inner cities despite a huge demand prevailing there. There are many reasons attributing to the problem. Contraband, bootlegging and peddling definitely have forced some of the small business owners to shut down their business. They are unable to ...

The main points asserted from the story included ...

There is no greater place to enjoy watching customers than the grocery store. It is amazing how (in many instances) a person’s physical appearance corresponds with the things that can be found in their carts. While observing people, it was easy to see that the profile of a typical grocery store shopper varies depending on the income level of the neighborhood surrounding the store. This essay reports on patrons at store A, where the average home sells for almost one million dollars. On the contrary (and for comparison purposes), store B operates in a very low income neighborhood. Two hours were ...

The poem “Annabelle Lee” makes me feel sad that the time these lovers had together was cut short by Annabelle Lee’s illness. The poem talks about a love that even the angels covet.

The fact that Annabelle Lee’s lover sleeps by her grave every night makes me wish I had someone who loves me that much. The author is so determined to stay with Annabelle Lee that he says neither angels nor demons can ...

The family is a perennial topic in disaster films, where individuals struggle over moral and ethical decisions that continuously bother their conscience throughout the narrative. In the conventional collapse of modern society in disaster films, the family is oftentimes the only institution left that can withstand the chaos that ensues as a result of government failure. Where there is no community or social structure whatsoever to turn to, the main characters within the disaster narrative resort to forging their own relationships with the people they come into contact with, whether it is based on blood relations, an identical purpose, or a similar ...

It is wrong to steal, and children learn this from an early age. But what if a parent was unable to find work and as a result did not have any money to buy groceries for their children? Would it be okay in this situation to steal food from a grocery store even though it is wrong to steal. This question is an ethical question. I believe, as I will develop in this essay, that it is okay to steal from a grocery store. This question, in some senses, is a silly question; very few people would agree that a parent should let their children ...

Analysis of Personal and Organizational Ethics and Values between For-Profit and Not-for-Profit Organizations

Introduction Unethical business behavior remains a major concern in the business world. The ethics problem is witnessed indiscriminately in both profit making and nonprofit making organizations. Ethics are as important as the objectives of the business and, therefore, corporations and other companies have a responsibility to adhere to the ideals of their organizations. This is if the ideals of such organizations have a standard moral and ethical stand that is universally acceptable. The persistence of this problem becomes a greater concern after considering the fact that organizations like those involved in charitable activities find themselves on the wrong side of morality.

For the one-week data collected, it was identified that the main bottleneck in the process was the time spent in queues while attempting to pay for goods.
