...and lived in small confined spaces which would spread diseases from one person to the next very quickly, and over one million people died before they even reached America. This would lead to chattel slavery, in which slaves would be sold, or traded, to the families that lived in the colonies of America, and was the ultimate reason for the Civil War in the 1860’s. The Civil War was between the northern states, who fought for the freedom of slaves, and the southern states of America, who fought for the right to own a slave. Though the war ended in the May of 1865, with the Union winning over the Confederates, slavery in America didn’t end until December of that same year when the 13th amendment was approved. Though today slavery is not a part of the world as it was centuries ago the negative connotations that came with it still...

... the essence of successful advertising is how to use different languages convincing people what the product meant to them. Checking linguistic implication of company product name is important to avoid taboos and misunderstanding . In fact, the introduction of Ford for the car ‘Pinto’ in Brazil is one of examples of linguistic advertising blunders. After seeing sales fail, they soon realised that this name meant by residents in Brazil is ‘tiny male genitals’. Moreover, using suitable language for each country make advertisers show respect to their audiences, lead to increase revenue and increase the value of reputation. Language analysing must also be needed for its cultural suitability. Every country have its native culture, unsuitable language in advertising will lead to negative impacts. To illustrate, the slogan “Challenge Everything” employed by the computer games manufacturer EA Sports is unacceptable in some religions or societies where harmonious relationships are maintained. In conclusion, language...

...Ontario Mills, California, a National Labor Relations Board Administrative Law (NLRB) Judge found Alexis Hanson unlawfully fired for complaining about a bikini contest that she believed was rigged. Additionally, the judge ruled that Hooters handbook rules prohibiting behavior, such as insubordination and disrespect to guests, was unruly and prohibited Hooters nondisclosure agreement and an arbitration agreement. Hanson allegedly cursed Pamela Noble, Hooters marketing coordinator, for winning the April 2013 bikini contest and $300 prize money that she believe was fixed, by sarcastically congratulating her online. Subsequently, Hanson received a phone call from Hoot Winc’s vice president of human resources saying she was being fired for “negative social media posts.” NLRB Judge Cates wrote, “The evidence indicates the company knew it could rid itself of Panitch and simply sought to lump Hansons’s discharge in the mix and rid itself of both complaining employees. I find it clear Hanson’s discharge was motivated by her protected concerted activity.” NLRB Judge deemed Hoot Wine LLC and Hooters of Ontario Mills to rehire Alexis Hanson and supplement lost wages due to her dismissal. Ethical Decision-Making The decision ruled for Alexis Hanson was a fair judgement. Hanson’s post online was her personal opinion on how she felt about the contest. Hanson expressed that the contest was unfair because Noble was friends with Krystle Line, one of the contest judges, and her boyfriend...

...their active duty; it will also authorize the government to pay fees associated with adoption. However, this bill would cost the government roughly $578 million between 2014 and 2018 (S.3313 - 112th Congress), which holds some senators back from voting “yea” on passing this bill. Women senators and politicians are particularly concerned and involved with this bill because it deals directly with women’s health, and also because in vitro fertilization, which comes into question in this bill, has a negative connotation with many pro-life Republicans. Senator Patty Murray, a Democrat from the state of Washington, introduced this bill on June 19th, 2012. This bill was then assigned to the Senate Veterans’ Affair Committee. (Senate Committee on Veterans) The Women veterans and Other Health Car Improvements Act of 2012 had four co-sponsors: Jon Tester, Mark Begich, Bernie Sanders, and Barbara Mikulski. (“Women Veterans”) The committee cleared this bill to be voted on by the senate. On December 13th, the Senate approved the bill by a voice vote, which means there is no record of individual votes; however they did vote on several amendments to the bill. The first amendment was to require mandatory annual reporting by the VA about who is accessing in vitro fertilization, an amendment to require the VA to fully develop the rules and regulations for this before anyone begins receiving benefits, and an amendment to allow the VA to provide adoption assistance and pay for adoption fees for any...

Mayo & Heather Beckham Group D Latoya Reed & Alma Shaw MADM 701: Organizational Behavior Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Case Summary 3 Major Issues 3 Analysis of Issues 4 Action Alternatives 7 Analysis of Alternatives 8 Recommendations 11 Implementation of Issues 12 References 13 Executive Summary Case Summary Donald Franklin, a profound farmer and businessman, founded the organic and dairy Renfield Farms in Maine in 1964. Franklin was a passionate businessman, who developed a strong business culture that cultivated continuous innovation, healthy living, and producing nutritional and wholesome food products. Due to these stimulating values, Renfield Farms grew from a local to a nationwide dairy supplier, known for its strong brands and ideals. However, after Franklin retired in 2002, the company began facing many difficulties. Renfield Farms’ successors were not as inspiring as Franklin and could not measure up to his leadership skills. Renfield Farms was obviously in bad shape due to declining sales and consumers losing trust in the company’s product brands. Something had to be done. Marie Jackson was an external hire, who was appointed as the company’s new CEO in 2013 in order to revitalize Renfield Farms’ unsatisfactory performance. Though a strong leadership with a great vision for the company, Jackson faced many oppositions, predominately overcoming employees’ resistance to change...

...diverse individuals for which I will give an example of which happened to me and how I had to challenge discrimination towards others. I will also discuss theoretical frameworks to tackling oppression and discrimination by using the PCS model and how people can become empowered through groups, advocacy or legislation. Personal values, Prejudices, Ethical Dilemmas, Conflict of Interest and their impact on Social Work Practice A value is something that concerns someone or a belief they hold, this determines how a person behaves, values do not determine if something is said whether it is right or wrong in today’s society. However, a person’s belief’s can affect how they behave towards others. “Prejudice is a term which has rather negative connotations and is normally taken to mean a hostile attitude towards a person or group” (Billingham et al. 2008. Pg. 196) One of my values and a prejudice of mine is that any job I am employed in will eventually go to people working in a foreign country, especially India. This all stems from when I worked for a third party credit card processor, after giving them nine years of service I was going to be made redundant and my job would be actioned from people in India. For the next two months I would have to train people from there all the applications I was currently or had worked on. This gave me a dilemma do tell them all the information I knew or just some of it? I had to be professional, so I gave them as much information on the applications...

...INTRUCTION With modern international marketing being more prosperous , the majority of firms are eager to globalize their productions in order to be more competitive ,therefore, advertisement design is increasingly significant for business.Advertising is a favorable representation of product to make consumers, customers and general public acquainting of the product. It enables the potential buyers, general public and end users to be aware and familiar with the brands, their goods and services.(Hassam ,2004),so the firms will have a superb reputation. When the companies put an emphasis on advertising and globalizing merchandises, one of the primary projects which cooperations must implement is to improve the advertising to their productions.However, international advertising entails dissemination of a commercial message to target audiences in more than one country, target audiences differ from country to country in terms of how they perceive or interpret symbols or stimuli, respond to humor or emotional appeals, as well as in levels of literacy and languages spoken. How the advertising function is organized also varies.Therefore,companies decentralize their budgets and placed in the hands of local subsidiaries, resulting in greater use of local advertising agencies.(Susan P. Douglas and C. Samuel Craig New York University).As the result of local advertising agencies, the advertising strategies are different for the multiple cultures and diverse religious believe to some extent...

...Conflict, Decision Making, and Structure Paul McKenzie Strayer University Leadership and Organizational Behavior Bus 520 Dr. Keith W. Langner December 20, 2012 Conflict, Decision Making, and Structure From the inception of time, the human race has been experiencing and grappling with conflicts of all kinds—both internally and externally. In most recent years, however, conflicts in the workplace have become more prevalent due to diverse cultures, organizational structures, and workplace dynamics such as stress, discrimination, cultural difference, idiosyncrasy, pay inequality, grievance and dispute, and others. These prevailing conditions have and are affecting organizations of all sizes. As a result, many companies are forced to implement guidelines and strategies so as to mediate, mitigate, manage, reconcile, and resolve such existing conditions in a more effectively manner, while creating better-working environments. Having said that, this paper intends to objectively address four given scenarios surrounding conflict, decision making, and organizational design. Those scenarios will be addressed in the following sequence: (1) negotiation strategies used to address potential conflicts in the workplace, (2) evidence-based management and its relevant application, (3) analysis regarding effective methods and creative-decision making, (4) and environmental and strategic factors that affect the organizational design of a researched company. Negotiation...

...Followership Miller, Lisa A. CNM, JD Section Editor(s): Miller, Lisa A. CNM, JD Author Information President, Perinatal Risk Management & Education Services Chicago, Ill For most of my career, I've been in leadership positions. Only 6 months after beginning my nursing career I was “promoted” to assistant head nurse, night shift. At the time, I was naïve enough to think it was my innate skill and ability, when the reality was more likely the fact that no one else wanted the job. I continued to serve in leadership or managerial positions when I became a nurse-midwife. Several years ago, after many years serving as a director of various nurse-midwifery services, I had the disconcerting but ultimately rewarding revelation that I was not a very good boss. Sure, I was good at negotiating the budget, and getting the midwives decent working conditions, but I was autocratic and aggressive, not very desirable characteristics of a leader. I decided to shift into teaching, something I enjoyed and did not require that I be “in charge” of anyone but myself. To keep clinically active, I took a per diem position as a nurse-midwife at a local hospital. It is a position which I still hold today and one that gives me great pleasure. And it is in part because my current boss is such a skilled leader, a leader that I am proud to follow, that I became interested in the concept of followership. | | It seems that a lot gets written about leadership in both business and healthcare.

...have expanded it reaching different unexplored counties, advertising is gaining impetus in the whole globe and it is easy to identify when you move from a place to another or simply when you travel that you realize that advertising is the most visible manifestation of the globalization of business in general and of brands in particular. Advertising allows consumers to “compare goods, which often results in lower prices and improved product quality; advertising stimulates the economy by encouraging consumption; and it has the potential to improve living standards” (Mueller, 1996, p. 256). When you talk about International Advertising it is means that you are talking about cross-border advertising and it is possible to have a specific connotations that you can adopted as a global strategy. According to Jones, J. (2000) there is two countries who believe that their advertising is the best in the world: United Kingdom and United States, and he stressed that the language (English) has becoming the primary worldwide language, at least for business; that belief make it change Levitt's concept of global marketing into global advertising. The number of global brands is very short and it is always easy to remember the names. It is not necessary for a global brand to use global advertisement executions, as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Marlboro cigarettes, Kodak, Benetton, Gucci, Sony, etc. use to modify and accommodate it according to local norms, preferences and...

...An understanding of the Russian nihilism of the 1860s begins with an attempt to understand the concept of nihilism. This is naturally difficult because if there is a word that has even more loaded, and negative, connotations than anarchism it would be nihilism. This is particularly because the primary vehicle of our modern understanding of nihilism is through the fiction of Turgenev and Dostoevsky. Neither of these authors were particularly sympathetic to nihilism and provided nihilist characters primarily as a frame with which to drape their morality tales. The version of nihilism offered by these authors is then, primarily, a snapshot of the popular culture in which nihilism dwelt as much as it is a recollection of the trend. This time in Russian history is part of the story of nihilism and will be part of the story in bridging the gap between the mythological Bazarov, Verkhovensky, or Raskolnikov and figures like Nicholas Chernyshevsky, Dmitry Pisarev, and to some extent Sergey Nechayev. What then was nihilism? Nihilism was a youth movement, a philosophical tendency, and a revolutionary impulse. Nihilism was the valorization of the natural sciences. Nihilism was a specific fashion style. Nihilism was a new approach to aesthetics, criticism and ethics. Nihilism was the contradiction between a studied materialism and the desire to annihilate the social order. Nihilism was also a particularly Russian response to the conditions of Tsarist reform and repression. Nihilism has...

...behaviors expressing them, and membership in a community of others who share them." Homosexuality is one of the three main categories of sexual orientation, along with bisexuality and heterosexuality, within the heterosexual-homosexual continuum (with asexuality sometimes considered a fourth). Scientific and medical understanding is that sexual orientation is not a choice, but rather a complex interplay of biological and environmental factors,[1][3] especially with regard to early uterine environment. While there are those who still hold the view that homosexual activity is "unnatural" or "dysfunctional", research has shown that homosexuality is an example of natural variation in human sexuality and is not in and of itself a source of negative psychological effects. Prejudice and discrimination against homosexual and bisexual people, however, have been shown to cause psychological harm. The most common terms for homosexual people are lesbian for females and gay for males, though gay is also used to refer generally to both homosexual males and females. The number of people who identify as gay or lesbian—and the proportion of people who have same-sex sexual experiences—are difficult for researchers to estimate reliably...
