“The ecological crisis is very real, and it is getting worse at exponential speed. However, there is a silver lining on the current cloud of global gloom: The ecological crisis is interconnected with a global economic, political, social, and cultural crisis due to the fact the treadmill of production is failing to meet most people’s needs. The failure of the old paradigm of constant economic growth, combined with the reality of constitutional democracy in nations like the United States, will lead people to take the political actions and support the public policies necessary to build a sustainable world”. ...

Introduction

Ideally, business performance depends on the strategy that management adopts. The success of the existing company, as well as the possibility of implementing an idea of starting a new business, must consider the level of market competition.

Firms’ managers in highly competitive markets must make decisions regarding the current as well as the future performance of their companies. They hire consultants to help them analyze their business environments and make sound decisions that can help them survive market competitions. One ...

Tyler Cowen’s “The Inequality that Matters”, published in the January-February 2011 issue of The American Interest Magazine, addresses the type of income inequality that Americans, and people all over the globe, should be concerned about. Most people, Cowen says, are unaware of the bigger, economic picture, and are instead more concerned about their neighbors’ income status. According to Cowen (2011), the American economy may collapse again because of an unstable economic situation in China and Europe, undercapitalized banks, or because the economic system is broken – and no one no one quite knows how to fix it. Cowen (2011) ...

In the Fight Club the author Chuck Palahniuk plays with the narration and starts his book with the climax – the most intense point of the story – and only then introduces the exposition of it. So, only starting from the 19 chapter everything falls into right places. The reader finally gets to know that Tyler Durden and the narrator is one and the same person, but it leaves them with even more questions (the scene with a gun in the mouth and the scar of a kiss). We get to know that he is the one, who created fight clubs, ...

David Fincher’s 1999 film adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel Fight Club provides a uniquely slick, stylish filmic presentation of the book’s gritty, darkly comic sensibilities.

Director ...

Discussion Question #1

In popular culture, Goodykoontz is correct in that the majority of pop culture figures are white; there are many factors for this. First of all is the obvious remnants of racism that remain in today’s culture; white and black cultures have split to the point where it is difficult to balance the two. There are either “white” movies or “black” movies nowadays; most movies geared toward African-Americans have all-black casts (e.g. Tyler Perry movies), and most movies for white audiences will still have ethnic characters, but they are never the lead. There have been great strides so far ...
