Social Responsibility of Business

Introduction The belief advanced by Milton Friedman connotes that the directors of a business must engage in business actions that bring only profits to the given business shareholders. In reference to notions of business ethics, the executive management of a business corporation must earn profits for the business owners within the rules of the game. Further, about corporate social responsibility, the business management mandate is to conduct business activities in such a way that they do not commit business resources to social responsibility activities, like charity, that have the potential of reducing business profits (Watson and Prevos, 2009).

Introduction

The financial crisis of 2007/9 was the worst in the U.S. since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was the cause of the failure of some of the biggest financial institutions including Washington Mutual which was closed in 2008, and its assets transferred to JP Morgan. In 2008, the crisis reached its peak with loans dropping dramatically to the lowest levels to be witnessed in a half a century. For example, new loans to large borrowers fell by 47 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to the previous quarter and by 79 percent relative to ...

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was an Italian physicist, astronomer, philosopher, engineer and mathematician. He was a critical figure in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. Galileo is perhaps most synonymous with the invention of the modern telescope which has since helped man to discover countless things about the universe. In regard to astronomy, Galileo is erroneously credited with the discovery of the first telescope. His contribution was carrying out massive improvements on the existing telescopes. In 1609, Galileo learnt about the spyglass which was crudely used in ordinary life to view distant places on the land. Galileo began to ...

Humans have long been capable of being a space-faring civilization. Thanks to the numerous advancements and breakthroughs in engineering, communications, and perhaps most importantly, rocket technology, people from various countries managed to send objects and humans to space. The space age officially started when the Soviet Union’s space exploration agency successfully launched its first man made object into the earth’s orbit. It was named Sputnik 1, a man-made satellite. Because the post-World War Two era was mostly a rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, it did not take long for the United States, under ...

It is well-known that Native American cultures are characterized by their unbreakable connection with nature and peculiar spirituality which differs profoundly from that of Christians and other newcomers to the New World. The Cherokee and Iroquois tribes are distinguished by quite unusual and interesting perceptions of the world, origins of humans and morality, and these perceptions are embodies in Native oral traditions, cosmology and legends handed down from one generation to another. As Parker notes, “the creation story is for every group and for every person some form of coming to an awareness of their own existence, their world ...

Introduction

The thesis paper will reveal that Galileo’s notions of the sun’s stability and the earth’s movement illustrate the conflicting Science-Religion theory. Galileo supported Copernicus’s opinion about the sun’s stability and the movement of the earth strongly despite strong oppositions from the Holy Church. Although he depicted aspects of honesty concerning the opinions of the sun and the earththroughout his trial, the Holy Church still held otherwise and commanded to oppose his opinions.

The current theory regarding the evolution of the earth’s ocean is that water is present during the formation of the earth. Most of the discovered materials which was more than 4 billion years old also contained evidences of the present of water (Genda, 2016). Some scientists suggest that the water on earth emerged in the surface when steam was released in the volcanoes. Additional water emerged in the surface of the earth coming from meteorites and comets during the formation of the earth. The continuous addition of water from volcanoes and meteorites or comets led to the formation ...

Human sexuality refers to the capacity for one to have sexual feelings. It can be expressed in differently including same-sex relationships, heterosexual interactions and even relationships among different partners. The form of sexuality one follows is guided by their life teachings and influences by culture, global interaction, and religion. These factors determine how one would choose to live their life. Over time sexuality has changed especially in the past century. Freedom to express one’s sexuality has increased, and people are more willing to transform due to reduced fear of persecution and reproductive limitations. This paper will explore the ...

Q1. A 200mm diameter pipeline divides into two smaller pipelines, one being 100mm in diameter and the other being 150mm in diameter. If the velocity in the 100mm pipe is 0.3m/s and that in the 150mm is 0.6m/s, calculate the flowrate in litres/s and the velocity in m/s in the 200mm pipe. [ 13 l/s, 0.413m/s] Solution: Flow Rate = (pi/4)(0.1)2(0.3) + (pi/4)(0.15)2(0.6) = 0.01296 cubicmeters/sec = 12.96 l/sec. (ans.). Velocity = (Flow Rate)/(Area) = [0.01296]/[(pi/4)(0.1)2] = 0.4125 m/s. Q2. If the specific volume of water is 0.001251 m3 /kg. calculate:

Abstract

Various safety models have been developed for use in understanding aspects of safety. These models include the Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) model, Construction Accident Causation model, and Accident Causation Management model. Each model focuses on a specific aspect of the safety process. The STAMP model focus on the interactions between system components while Accident Causation Management model focuses on the source of human errors. On the other hand, Construction Accident Causation model focus on the predictability of incidence occurrence. None of this can be used to understand and address all safety concerns. This essay will begin by ...

Introduction

An ecosystem is defined as the interaction of the organism and other nonliving factors in a certain community. The living components of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and other organisms, can be classified as the biotic component of the ecosystem, whereas the environmental conditions such as water amount, humidity, soil nourishment, temperature, and the like are termed as the abiotic factors. In an ecosystem, both the existing biotic and abiotic factors determine what kind of species live there. For example, turtles, which require a large amount of water to live in cannot possibly hope to survive in arid ...

“The brand that refreshes the world, inspires moments of optimism, creates value, and makes a difference” –Coca-Cola Company.

Overview Businesses operate within the community, which includes the people they employ, the consumers, and the policy formulators. It is important for businesses to market the idea of being a good citizen by exhibiting community-minded behavior. This makes the concept of corporate citizenship an important consideration for many businesses. Corporations are considered paper citizen and in that view, every citizen has a responsibility to fellow citizens. Corporate citizenship is an important managerial and strategic factor that crafts an instrumental view of the relationship between business and society (Carroll & Shabana, 2010). Big corporates in the world today are becoming more ...

Gender is a very powerful category and one that many different people have used in order to explain culture and society. The role of women in society had for the longest time been constricted to the private sphere, the home, taking care of the children and being the primary Linchpin that could take care of the family and be the emotional and often moral center of the family. Women in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have gained more rights and have fought for equality with men. When Korean families immigrated to the United States in the ...

Symbolism in Trifles by Susan Glaspell

While setting a story, the writer should mind both the social and physical contexts in which a story develops. (Meyer 2001) Those contexts set the atmosphere of the story, which helps readers to perceive the general mood. The general parts of the setting are the social and historical background, place, time that surrounds the characters. (Meyer 2001). The setting of the Trifles by Susan Glaspell is dark, lonely and gloomy. In order to present a clear understanding of the characters, the author uses symbols. The three symbolic objects used are canary, bird’s cage and placing of the Wright’ ...

William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience were written in the 18th century. Blake used parallel versions of his poems to construct an ideal form of human existence which he later compared against the contemporary society. His works, which were sometimes considered deeply spiritual, caused some of his critics to dismiss him as a Lunatic and his work as the rantings of a lunatic. Blake was also an artist and his images accompanied most of his poems. Blake used parallel poems to respond to the decay in the human values in the society (Vines 116). Many ...

Putting human beings on the Mars has constantly been a subject of science fiction for quite some time now. Notably, in the late 1960s when humanity finally set its foot on the moon, it appeared as though human beings were just a small step away from reaching the Mars. However, with the winning of the Space Race, public interest, as well as, excitement, an arguable most significant factor i.e. funding commenced waning as times passed consequently reaffirming the assertion that we are still not closer to the Mars as it was the situation in the 1960s. As it stands, ...

"I'm glad there's some folks gettin' interested in the old ways. This new generation don't know such things, but when they find the old songs and the tales, they'll delight in them." --Granny in Grandfather Tales (Chase & Williams, 1948) The Southern Appalachian region has a rich heritage of folklore and songs passed down orally from European immigrants settling in the mountain range situated from New York to Georgia (Abramson & Haskell, 2006) from the 18th to the 20th centuries (Hanlon, 2000). Since the middle of the 20th century, variations of the folktales have been compared to publications such as Grandfather ...

What does the margin of error tell us about a sample taken from a large population? How does the confidence level for a sample outcome differ from the sample’s margin of error? The margin of error is a numerical value that expresses or estimates the likelihood of error in an experiment’s results. Thus, it can somehow account for the statistical significance of a result. If it is smaller, then the likelihood of error is also small, making the results more credible. Smaller sample sizes from a large population generally have a larger margin of error while larger ...

The concept of error deals with the uncertainties made in measurements, which are hard to correct. Error, therefore, does not mean blunder. Error is divided into two categories, which include random and systematic errors. Accuracy, on the other hand, is the rate at which information matches the accepted or true values. As stated earlier, error is either random or systematic. Systematic errors are those that “tend to shift all measurements in a systematic way, so their mean value is displaced” (Error Analysis, n.d). These errors occur when there are wrong calibrations on the equipment of use or the failure ...

he literature has always used specific instances about destruction and damage caused by the act of humans to violate and misuse the natural life cycle processes. Instances of the disastrous consequences when humans use their illegitimate powers to manipulate the natural life form are given with respect to the prevalent cultural themes of the respective eras. Shakespeare's ‘The Tempest’ involves the use of magical prowess in manipulating the normal human characteristics and subsequent creation of the man-made devil, named Caliban.

Philosophy

Introduction Man has always gazed at the stars and attempted to answer the question about the existence of any life anywhere else in the Universe apart from Earth. While for the better part of the first two thousand years After Christ, there was a popular assumption that Man is unique in the Universe, the acceptance of the ‘Copernican Principle’ (Tyson, 2003) in the 1500s, when Nicholas Copernicus put the sun back in its proper place at the center of the solar system, propelled the notion that man may not be unique after all. Given the fact that the three ...

According to John Arend, Mike Benkert, Audrey deFilippis and Saretta Tillmaand, when the Commerzbank building opened its doors in 1997, the “53-story” edifice became the one of the “tallest” buildings located in Europe (1). Nevertheless, the edifice’s distinctiveness did not come from its height, but, rather, it came from the way in which it combined “form, inventiveness, and technical expertise” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & Tillmaand 1). The design and construction of the Commerzbank saw the “[b]reaking away from the American model of deep-planned, air-conditioned structures” that have a “central service core” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & ...
