Introduction The ethical dilemmas to be analyzed can best be resolved by striking a balance between what is the right thing to do and what is good. In these two cases, the right solutions will depend on the ability to merge a number of factors that affect the overall outcomes. Case studies In the first case of the copywriter who finds out that disclaimer information has been removed from the advertisement, the action I would take would be to continue with the advertisement but have proof of the fact that the missing disclaimer information was removed by the marketing director. On the other hand, what I should do is to refuse to instate those changes and to take the matter to the chemical company through the marketing manager’s boss. These actions are quite different from one another because the first alternative takes into consideration the consequences of the action rather than the means needed to achieve them (Shockley-Zalabak & Pamela, 2009). In this regard, choosing to counteract the actions of the marketing director could cause a loss of the account. It is likely that my firm may be more interesting in retaining business rather than meeting some ethical obligations. Therefore, in order to avoid losing my job, I would let the copy proceed and then find a way of protecting myself if the issue created negative consequences to the public. This would cause the least harm to the said parties. On the other hand, the other alternative of refusing to pass the copies and confronting the marketing director’s boss should be the right thing to do. In this ethical dilemma the copywriter is confronted with the challenge of choosing between doing the right thing and doing the good one. Most teleologists and human beings tend to focus on the results i.e. on the good rather than the right. However, the highest standard of morality will usually result when a person has decided to engage in a rightful act that produces good consequences. When this is not possible, then one must forgo the good consequences in order to do the right thing. If the disclaimer information causes the public substantial problems in their health then the consequences would be dire. Even if the public health issue may not crop up in this case, it would in the future and hence lead to diminished business by the chemical company as well as poor health; the consequences of doing nothing about the issues are clearly more than they are for doing something about them. Conversely, going silent on the issue is likely to lead to loss of business and maybe even the job of the copywriter. The immediacy and surety of these consequences is what truly necessitated the first option. However, morally
Negotiation is a part of people’s life. Notably, people start negotiating at a very early age when they first ask their parents to let them watch more TV. Admittedly, business world is based on the principles of mutual interest. Politics is also the world of constant negotiation. Organizations have to negotiate to remain competitive. In the first place, it is necessary to define the concept. Hence, negotiation is a process that takes place between people (or groups of people) “who have mutual interests but some differences that need to be resolved” (Goldwasser 2006, p. 77). Importantly, negotiation is possible when the parties have interests in common. It is also necessary to note that compromise is often an indispensible part of negotiation, i.e. negotiation often includes “making concessions” (Goldwasser 2006, p. 77). It is possible to consider at least three major reasons why negotiation is important. Development of proper relationships between people and groups of people is one of the most important reasons why negotiation is important. Thus, a French diplomat of the 18 th century noted that “the fate of the greatest states depends almost entirely on the good of bad conduct of their negotiators” (Benoliel 2011, p. 1). In the contemporary globalised world, such a statement is still up-to-date. Countries have to negotiate on a variety of issues to keep peace and contribute to the development of humanity. The World War II is one of the examples of ineffective negotiation as there is some “speculation” that Nazi’s desire to revenge “for the way their country had been treated” led to the war (Goldwasser 2006, p. 81). Therefore, negotiation helps countries co-exist and cooperate. Apart from the political arena, negotiation is important for the development of the humanity in a variety of terrains. Thus, Spangle and Isenhart (2003, p. 3) note that negotiation “produces a codetermination of understandings about perceptions, knowledge, interests, and outcomes”. In other words, negotiation helps people collaborate and develop. Thus, in the modern information-oriented world, people have to interact with each other. Business people and scientists may pursue their own goals, but their mutual interests can lead to numerous advances in technology, medicine, education, etc. N
Introduction The predicaments that defines the behaviors and characters of a sixteen year old Fernando is an aftermath of a legacy left behind by a father vague of human values. Fernando finds himself in an oasis of a community bred in a background of social evils intoxicating his mind from early childhood. In his quest to break out from the ‘tradition’ that is so akin to his family make- up, his mindset and choices lead him to subconsciously live the same life his people lived from generations back. This is characterized by drugs and affiliation with gangs and a negative exposure to the authorities at a very tender age. Fernando hails from a family that is quickly disintegrating into the abyss that is the societal rote in their community of drug abusers. Their lives are unpredictable since they are always at loggerheads with the local administration (like the police), as a result spending so much of their time serving jail terms rotting in jails. Others get embroiled in fights that are far too common in their community set-up; they are affiliated to gangs which normally sort out their differences brutally by killing the members of the factions working against them. These children hail from much disoriented backgrounds, Fernando’s father was a drug addict who had little time to guide and care for his children, he battered his wife even when he was drunk and was rather callous with his affairs. His mother, on the other hand, had to run away due to the battering and though they met on the streets, they hardly shared a lot. The result of all this is a child of Fernando’s behavior, whose attitude and perceptions about life was suicidal and the victim was himself. These children end up copying what they deem fit or ‘cool’ in the society, because they do not have a strong figure to guide them. Goldstein (1995) believes that such characters have very weak social foundations and their reaction towards people is rather cold. They have a tendency to always look for trouble and they feel good about it. They hardly think about the future, they live under the notion that today they are alive but tomorrow they will either be dead or in jail. Of all this, none of them is a big deal. Thought Fernando’s life, several factors have contributed to the persona he was when he was last interviewed. The social factors, cultural factors, the categor
Amazon is the largest supplier of many products in the world. Every day this company receives thousands of orders and delivers them to customers (Skaggs, 2017). Popularity has forced company leaders to pay attention to the quality of work. In particular, this affected the speed and convenience of delivery. Customers are now becoming more demanding, so they don’t want to wait for goods for several days (Jung, 2017). The purpose of this paper is to talk about the Amazon delivery processes and discuss their positive and negative sides. Amazon now delivers most of the goods for free, which allows the business to grow. Free shipping is an undeniable competitive advantage. People do not want to overpay even for the convenience of delivering goods. Therefore, by spending money only on the product itself, they win. However, this benefits not only consumers but also Amazon (Moore, 2018). Thus, it attracts thousands of new customers and becomes in demand. As a result, the level of sales rises and the company’s profits rise as well. In particular, it can be spent on the company’s further development: for example, the robotization of processes, which makes delivery even more comfortable. Despite free shipping, Amazon does not lose costs. Undoubtedly, the company does not receive additional profit for the shipment of goods, although this could contribute to even more earnings (Kingston, 2020). However, the demand for the company’s services is so high that it does not harm its well-being in any way. The demand level is so considerable that some products have to be moved to the premium category (Berg, 2019). They are not available to people without a subscription because there are not enough of them. This allows managers to regulate the level of consumption and meet the needs of priority customers. Hence, even without shipping charges, Amazon is making a significant profit margin. Fast delivery is another way to improve Amazon customer satisfaction. In early 2020, the company accelerated this process by building several warehouses in different US cities (Huang, Savkin & Huang, 2020). Before that, delivery could take more than a day, in some areas – several days. Now, this process takes only a few hours, so customers ordering something in the morning can enjoy their purchases at lunchtime. This allows people to order more products instead of going to the store. They know they can get them quickly, so they prefer comfort. Amazon is the world’s largest e-commerce and public cloud platform company in revenue and market cap. It was founded as an online bookstore but later diversified and started selling video, MP3, audiobooks, software, video games, electronics, clothing, furniture, food, toys, and jewelry (Rodrigue, 2020). Company executives regularly take various measures to increase profits and maintain customer satisfaction. They rely on world events and monitor changes in marketing trends. This allows the company to remain the first in the world and become an example for competitors.
Define and describe the temperature stabilization and regulation of the normal neonate including In neonatal care, thermoregulation is critical since it allows preventing hypothermia in infants, particularly, premature ones. Therefore, the process of temperature stabilization and regulation plays a critical role in the management of an infant’s needs (Knobel-Dail, 2014). The difference between intrauterine and extrauterine thermal environments To provide care of the proper quality, one should keep in mind the difference between intrauterine and extrauterine thermal environments. While the former is self-regulating in a healthy pregnant woman and, therefore, implies consistent temperature, the latter may involve significant shifts in temperature, which may cause thermal issues. Specifically, the extrauterine environment is expected to have a lower temperature than the intrauterine one (Knobel-Dail, 2014). Therefore, temperature stabilization in the extrauterine environment implies the use of oxygenation to stimulate nonshivering thermogenesis (NST). Controlling temperature in the intrauterine environment can be performed via enhancement of umbilical circulation. The neutral thermal environment The neutral thermal environment (NTE) is typically seen as the ultimate goal of managing the needs of newborn babies. Therefore, NTE does not require any thermoregulation and only has to be sustained (Knobel-Dail, 2014). Thus, one can ensure a proper metabolic rate in newborn babies. Hypothermia A low-temperature setting may entail hypothermia in infants, which is extraordinarily dangerous for their well-being. Therefore, rewarming hypothermal infants and increasing the temperature levels in the delivery room should be regarded as critical steps toward the improvement of their well-being (Knobel-Dail, 2014). Thus, rewarming the incubator in which an infant is contained has to be seen as a necessary measure. Hyperthermia Being just as dangerous to a newborn baby as hypothermia, if not more so, hyperthermia also needs to be addressed by introducing thermoregulation into the incubation room. Preventing exposure to direct sunlight is also a critical step toward reducing the side effects of high temperatures in newborn babies (Adams-Chapman, Carlton, & Moore, 2015). The described measures are expected to lead to a positive outcome in infants with temperature-related issues. The role of the hypothalamus, thyroid, and adrenal glands While typically being associated with the endocrine
Presently, most business organizations apply high level of technology in their operations. Evidently, these increasing transformations cause high level of competition in the global marketplace (Klososky 2012). Digital marketing strategies are increasingly applicable. The basic aim is to remain relevant and competitive within the global scenario. Recent digital marketing technologies include the application of social networking sites. These include Facebook and Twitter. Digital marketing has potential opportunities for innovative organizations. Conversely, there are also negative implications and challenges associated (Hermeking 2005, p. 195). Due to these observations, most organizations presently seek to comprehend the dynamics pertinent to these technological applications. Moreover, there is an urgent need for marketing personalities to note these flexibilities. The intention of this discussion is to highlight the insights of three notable writers concerning the basic opportunities and challenges associated with digital marketing. It also elucidates on the mechanisms applicable in organizations seeking to integrate digital marketing. Apart from this, there is a discussion on how two chosen organizations practice digital marketing. Lastly, there is a comparison and contrast of the digital marketing approaches evident within these two organizations. There are diverse opportunities and challenges of digital marketing. These relate to most business organizations. According to Barnes and Pressey (2012, p. 165), “enterprise marketing management,” (EMM) is an online marketing strategy with a great capacity. It provides a strategic and innovative opportunity for most marketers. This is notable within a global perspective. Notably, not much of its applications exist within the present marketing world. However, there is an identification of a potential challenge. Observably, marketers deal with diverse and numerous brands, markets and merchandise. There are also complex marketing tools, languages and legal requirements that need stringent compliance. Barnes and Pressey (2012, p. 173) indicate that these diverse elements present with unique challenges. For instance, there is a poor application of digital resources within most campaigns. Heinonen (2011, p. 358) indicates that business corporations have the potential to reach wider market coverage. However, this is through proper application of digital marketing. This is because such corporations are able to use social networks including Facebook and Twitter to reach particular clientele. Products launching and promotion easily occurs online. This enables an expansion in the market extent. Apart from this, it also leads to the establishment of a powerful product brand. Indicatively, organizations lack the appropriate competency to maintain the sustainability of their digital advertisements (Heinonen, 2011, p. 360). Therefore, most digital product promotions do not create a lasting impact. Principally, this is because of
The general law holds that minors cannot enter into legal contracts. The law clearly defines a minor as any person under the age of 18 years. According to English law, any contract between a minor and an adult is binding on the adult but not on the minor. However, the law allows a minor to enter into contracts for the supply of necessities if no adult can provide the necessities. In this regard, a minor can disaffirm a contract at any time without being legally responsible (O’Sullivan and Jonathan 18). According to the British Columbia Infants Act, all contracts entered by a minor are unenforceable against the minor except for few contracts defined by the Act. However, the minors can ratify the contracts after reaching the age of maturity. The Minors Contract Act 1987 and Infants Relief Act 1874 also regulate the contracts that minors can engage in (O’Sullivan and Jonathan 20). Asad is just sixteen years old and a minor under English law. He is, therefore, not legally bound by the apprenticeship offered by Abdul. The fact that Abdul has in the past offered the same apprenticeships does not ratify his current agreement with Asad. The law allows Asad to disaffirm the agreement at any time with no legal liability. On the same note, clause C in the agreement expressly states that the agreement can be terminated at any time. A standard format contract is usually drafted by one party and is not open for negotiation. In other words, it is a contract that should be accepted the way it is. The contract has several advantages. Firstly, standard format contact eliminates the legal fee that is required when an attorney is asked to draft a new contract each time. As a result, it is cheaper to use standard format contracts compared to other types of contracts (O’Sullivan and Jonathan 39). On the same note, usually, negotiation consumes a lot of time because both parties will want their terms to carry the day. However, the standard format contract does not require any negotiation to take place. Therefore, it saves time, avoids legal complexities, and expedites the execution of the contract. Furthermore, having used the standard contract on many occasions, the parties involved finding it easy to use thus enhancing the speed of execution (O’Sullivan and Jonathan 41). However, it should be noted that standard contracts have a host of disadvantages associated with them. To begin with, standard contracts usually tend fixing the prices of commodities. In many standard contracts, everything is supposed to be taken as it is written. Therefore, negotiation is not part of the process and one cannot be able to ask for fair pr
Introduction The Tortilla Curtain: American Dream is a book by Thomas Coraghessan Boyle about two families from different cultural and social backgrounds but living in the same community in the United States. The story takes place is Los Angeles, California. The wealthy family represents the legal natives, while the poor one represents the illegal immigrants from Mexico. Though one might assume that the two families have nothing in common in their cultural beliefs, the author can bring out some cultural similarities between the two. This essay will, therefore, compare and contrast the cultural differences between the two families highlighted by T.Boyle in his book. Summary of The Tortilla Curtain Boyle introduces Delaney Mossbacher portraying him as a wealthy American who resides in California. He has hit a man with his car who is later introduced as Candido Rincon. Delaney, who represents the wealthy class, describes Rincon as having ‘red-flecked eyes and rotten teeth’ and goes on to admit that his utmost worry is the damage caused to his car (Boyle 23). He is relieved when he finds out that Candido is still alive though in an awful condition. The two do not seem to understand each other at first as both speak different languages. However, Candido can pick out the offer by Delaney to take him to the hospital, which he adamantly declines. All he wants is money to which Delaney hands him a twenty-dollar bill, and they each go their own way (Boyle 30). The author highlights the struggles of Candido after the accident. He is unable to feed his family due to the injuries incurred. He cannot get a job anymore at the local work exchange, where he temporarily worked before the crash. Delaney, on the other hand, is also experiencing problems. A coyote has killed one of his treasured pet dogs, and he is not taking the matter lightly. Besides, the community wall has just been brought down by a fire caused by Candido. Cultural Similarities Depicted Racism is one of the cultural similarities prevalent in the Tortilla Curtain.. Analysis shows that the theme is present in all of the chapters in the novel and in most instances, brought out by the author. Delaney portrays his hatred against the Mexicans whom he views as illegal immigrants. For him, they are people from a different class, and this is evident when he tells his lawyer that Candido would not likely sue him as he had given him “$ 20 blood money” and that “He’s a Mexican” (Boyle 36). The fact that he is just a Mexican console his guilty conscience of subjecting him to so much pain when he hit
Purpose of the research : The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effects of nuclear weapons on plants, animals and humans. The hypothesis for this research is that nuclear weapons-related radiation has far reaching consequences on the health and the general welfare of the affected human population, and also affects animals as well as plants in the affected area. Research Methods : This research paper is based on a review of literature. My point of research will be internet data gathered from different websites, which have documented research findings on the subject of nuclear weapons and their effect on the plants, humans and animals. The research paper is based on the facts found during the research. Introduction To date, Hiroshima and Nagasaki goes down in history as the two surviving cities where nuclear weapons were used during the World War 2 and to devastating effects. Apart from the instant deaths that occurred right after Americans bombed Hiroshima and three days later, Nagasaki, thousands of deaths have been registered due to radiation related illnesses occurring from the two bombs. Although there are no accurate numbers of the deaths in Hiroshima, the United Nations estimates that by December 1945, the death count was at about 140,000 people (Sublette, 1997; Walker, 2005). The Nagasaki death count on the other hand is estimated at 70,000 people. Apart from the deaths, the survivors and their descendants continue registering bodily injuries and other damaging effects to date (US dept. of Energy, 2007). Literature review According to D’Arrigo (2004), radiation is “energy that travels in waves”. Unfortunately for humans, radiation can not be smelled, felt, seen or heard. In a nuclear weapon blast, nuclear radiation is usually 15 percent of the activity, with 50 percent of the explosion being presented as blast energy and the remaining 35 percent as thermal energy (atomic archives, 2008). Of the 15 percent nuclear radiation, 5 percent affects animals, plants and humans as the initial radiation. Such occurs within a very short period of the explosion usually less than three minutes (atomarchive.com, 2008, p.1). The remaining 10 percent nuclear radiation is gradual, which involves radioactivity of fission products usually present in the weapon debris, residue and explosion fallout. Fallout radiation usually occurs minutes after the nuclear explosion and happens from radioactive distributed in the air above the explosion site during the explosion. The radioactive particles eventually fall to the ground. In the rainy season, the rain water carries the contaminated water to wider areas therefore causing more radiation effects to plants and animals. Naturally, the earth releases natural radiation that affects human being, animals and plants an
