In ancient societies, people believed that the hierarchy of human society was based on the divine right of certain people to lead and the divine permission to keep others as lower class members of society. This shamed the parameters of social order until the Age of Enlightenment and Reformation in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The American and French Revolutions laid the foundation for the creation of a system of civil liberties and human rights which required some basic rights to be accorded to all human beings without exception.

Question 1

Historically, organizations focused on usage of traditional media outlets, which included newspapers, magazines as well as television as part of their advertisement strategies for their products and services. Traditional marketing, otherwise referred to as offline marketing, created some form of disconnection between consumers and organizations (Puccinelli, Wilcox, & Grewal, 2015). That created higher possibilities of failure in the marketing processes, as consumers believed that the products delivered did not suit their individual expectations. That acted as one of the key disadvantages of using traditional marketing strategies within a given marketing campaign. However, this limited organizational understanding of consumer needs and ...

It is well documented that there is an entire underground economy in the United States, and much of it is at the behest of the millions of undocumented workers that live within its borders. While there are numerous factors contributed to this reality, many illegal immigrants work in jobs that pay them off the books. This results in no taxes being paid by either the employer of the immigrant, and it also results in a lack of legal protections and benefits for the workers. Many of the undocumented workers living in America come to work on farms and in ...

What is the case statement? What decisions does P & G need to make?

The Procter and Gamble Company has to revise its advert if it is to make a positive impact in the market. The proposed ‘Mumbles’ advert is comparative and implies negative notions on the use of Colgate and Palmolive’s ‘Simply White’ product. This form of advertising, is also involuntarily shifting the viewers’ attention to the rivalry between the two companies: when the objective, and this is an educative guess, is to show the brand’s prowess over the rival’s brand. P&G, therefore, needs to revise its advertisement approach towards a more positive and more product oriented approach. P&G ...

I visited the city park. I like this place very much. It is especially beautiful during spring and summer periods.

Lopez Ostra was a Spanish citizen who filed a case before the European Court of Human Rights through the European Commission on human rights.

This case was anchored on the responsibility of the state to be held accountable for actions of private entities within its jurisdiction. It is a sophisticated case that was instituted under the ...

Business Law

Without the Supremacy Clause, there would always be overlapping and conflicting federal and state law. The Supremacy Clause ensures that federal law always preempts state law if there is a conflict. In the absence of a Supremacy Clause, there would be a floodgate of litigation regarding choice of law questions and which law applies to a particular case. In this case, Wyeth did act ethically because if a large drug-manufacturing company immediately admitted to liability every time a plaintiff sued, alleging negligence, the company would surely go bankrupt. In the face of a civil suit, the company is entitled ...

Introduction

Some actions such as divorce, same sex marriage and other practices were considered morally wrong in the past (Giletti, 2012).

People think that downloading digital music and videos from the internet is morally wrong because it is still illegal. However, there are also people thinking that the illegality of this practice is not enough to settle its morality or ethical judgment. ...

The second amendment provides that a well-regulated militia was and is necessary for the security of a Free State but at the same time prohibited the infringement of the right of the people or the citizenry to keep and bear arms.

Many stakeholders are increasing pushing for more relaxation of intellectual property rights. The common argument among these stakeholders is that relaxing the intellectual property rights, as well as corporate knowledge on intellect and knowledge, will be in the society’s best interests. This argument has been dismissed by many of the current content intellectual owners who desire or want to maintain their ascendancy and resist sharing out the intellectual property which is in many cases their main power source. There is however some little bit of evidence that seems to suggest that the relaxation of property rights monopolies may ...

Policy and procedure directives are meant to ensure that all actions taken in every institution of the criminal justice system abides not only to the federal constitution, but also to ethics and human rights.

An action taken in criminal justice system such a jail and that seemingly abides by the constitution may later be interpreted as an infringement on the constitutional right of the defendant.

I am in the support of the recording industry. There is an uphill battle for the ReDigi. Uploading the music files in the internet for downloading will mean generating new copies, which is an infringement to the recording rights (Brust, 2013). Generating new copies of music is something, which cannot be done without licences. The rationale behind prohibition is to enable the owner to control the number of copies for sale. ReDigi deletes the original version and uploads a copy of the music, which is very different from file sharing.

Several people in different parts of the world in both developed and developing countries go without or with little food every day.

What is the interaction between personal freedom and infringement of people’s liberty? Well, in order to understand this association, it is important to go back in time. Personal freedom is based on the maxim of liberty, and this was envisaged by early philosophers such as John Stuart Mill.

Most western democracies have taken measures to safeguard personal freedom as a fundamental right, and this has seen the protection of personal freedom by most constitutions in the world. Nevertheless, personal freedom ...

The post appreciates the fact that Malesko had a case and was valid. In fact, in the response to the question of whether Malesko could have succeeded if it was a private organization, the post is in concurrence that Malesko indeed had a case with a chance of success. However, the post attempts to divert the liability of the correctional facility by asserting that the Malesko did not exhaust the alternative remedies. In addition, the post recognizes the fact that due procedure was not followed and that Malesko needed to have forwarded his complaints to the agency first. Moreover, the post claims that ...

I disagree with the outcome of the Malesko case at the Supreme Court level. Indeed, in 5 against 4 votes the Supreme Court arrived at the decision that private action against Federal Officers violating constitutional rights of individuals could not be extended to include private corporations delivering the same duties under a contract by the government, in that case, the Bureau of Prisons. I personally find the reasoning of the learned judges as escapist and a defeat of the spirit of the laws. Foremost, it has to be appreciated that the holding in Bivens had expressly provided for the defense of ...

The group catches the attention of the administration when they show up at school all wearing their uniforms and distributes the first edition of their weekly "newsletter". The” newsletter” contains highly offensive diatribes on how it is the "the duty of all true Americans to fight against the forces trying to destroy our country". The ...

Market competition has created a platform whereby many players in the market secure the rights of their products and services to sustain their businesses. However, the public enjoys some rights despite legal issues raised about the same. In a bid to register a business, a firm would need a name, which should not match with that of another firm to avoid legal issues. Nevertheless, the domain has no trademarks, but domain names have. For instance, all businesspersons may use a “.com” domain, but the domain name like “prince” is trademark. Registering another business with a domain name “princetennis” and a domain of “.com” ...

One course of action is to ignore the copying. Witnesses can pretend they do not see it or that it is not happening. Another course of action is to approach the employees and ask them what they are doing. Maybe just the fact that someone caught them in ...
