... The proposal that the chairman suggested to perform is not infeasible. First of all, we can peruse some information on our textbook, “the SEC places constraints on the common practice of auditors’ joining public clients that they have previously audited”. It means if the corporation hires an auditor and gives he or she a work like investigations of accounting and operating data as necessary, the company will break the rules on the auditing. The big companies must be conducted by the outside independent auditor teams for auditing their financial statements. In view of the fact that avoid any appearance of impropriety or inside bias. When the companies are permitted to audit their own books or statements by their internal auditors, it will lead to serious problem, like breaking the accounting rule, being in prison. For example, some employees avoid being laid off, they will help their companies hiding the real information or situations, so that affect the healthy development of the world economy. Independent auditors are held to their own standards and have their own independent boards of review that they answer to, so companies that hire them can be assured of the highest standards of quality and integrity. Secondly, professional skepticism is a key characteristic for auditors. Professional skepticism requires every auditor to have a questioning mind and a critical assessment of evidence. We can find this requirement on page 17 of our textbook. So auditors must responsible for...

Nearly losing his life and those of his fellow students, it is a story of perseverance and mystery, both of which surround the unusual events of that day. During this transcribed interview I will bring you his story told first-hand from the routine educational stops that dot the Roaring Fork Valley landscape to the dark and damp catacombs of Aspen’s Smuggler Mine. Post Independent: I understand many have tried to get you to speak about your experiences that day, and you have refrained from speaking to the press or any other form of publication. Why now? Why the Post Independent? Brandon: Well quite simply I just was not ready for that level of attention after the events that took place and the injuries I sustained. It takes time to heal both physically and mentally after such an ordeal. I chose the Post Independent because this is where I live and I feel the local community deserves to know what happed in their own back yard before the world does. Post Independent: So how did that day start? Brandon: Well all of the...

...allowing Canada’s reputation around the world to become more independent, strong, and connected as a country. When Canada defeated the Germans at the battle of Vimy Ridge, the world saw us as a more independent country. The battle showed that we did not need Britain, and surprisingly, we ended up “emerging from the shadow.” For many years and through many battles, we depended on Britain and their guidance; however, Vimy was different. We came up with our own plan of action. We gathered strong, Canadian troops and generals, trained them properly so that everyone knew their own job, built our own trenches and brought our own artillery. The great Canadian Commander of the Canadian Corps by the name of Sir Arthur William Currie wanted and effectively tried to keep the Canadian troops separate from the British troops. These were all acts of Canadian independence. Our nation truly showed that we could fight and win against a very strong enemy and without our motherland helping us. Furthermore, during the battle, it was all Canadian soldiers, from one side to the next. It showed our Canadian independence because we did not have any troops from Britain. Canada showed the world that we were an independent nation because of this brave battle, in which we fought under our own leadership. Not only were we proving that we were an independent nation who would not take orders from anybody else, we were also demonstrating that we...

...is very clear to me why this film is considered an independent film. By using Michael Z. Newman’s article Indie Cinema Viewing Strategies it was easy to break up the film into three slogans: characters as emblems, form as game, and read as anti-Hollywood. Do The Right Thing uses a mixture of these three slogans through character, narrative structure, and theme to open our eyes to racism and violence and let us decide what really is doing the right thing. Although this film was distributed by a major Hollywood studio, it still keeps within the styles and techniques of independent cinema. Beginning with the characters in Do The Right Thing, each character is interesting and contributes to the narrative structure of the film. When discussing characters as...

...common-sensical view; however, Berkeley disagreed. So in his work he presents his idea of idealism, which follows that only minds and what’s in them exist. Berkeley seems to be very confident in this argument, seeing as he expresses though the dialogue of Philonous that he is “content to put the whole upon this issue” (Berkeley 35) the issue being the question of if you can conceive something that is completely independent of the mind, or in other words unconceived. Berkeley presents his argument as follows: 1. One cannot see a thing that is at the same time unseen; it is a contradiction. 2. One cannot conceive any thing that is at the same time unconceived; it is also a contradiction. (from 1) 3. You therefore conceive any thing that you think of. (from 2) 4. What is conceived is in the mind. 5. If something exists in the mind then it cannot exist independent of all minds. 6. Therefore, anything you conceive is not mind-independent. Earlier in the dialogues, Berkeley goes into a bit of detail about the things that we perceive and how we gain...

In addition, they were even able to trade ideas and ideologies without getting shut down immediately or judged for thinking in a certain way that could better their lives. Today’s media moves faster than one can think you were the star today the next week you get put back as a side character there’s just so much Asian Americans have to care about.

...days. the status of women was not really high. They were discriminated and treated as the weaker sex. What is more, they were the property of men - at first fathers, then husbands. In Elizabethan time men were the breadwinners and woman had to be the housewives and mothers. It could be the reason for Shakespeare to create a number of female figures in his works. Furthermore, women usually play a very important, sometimes even leading role. In addiciton, they also were strong-willed, daring and really intelliigent. In my essay I choose a few female characters to show that Shakespeare in his works stood up against the figure of women of that time and present powerfull...

...Ex Post Facto (also called Causal Comparative Research) is useful whenever: • We have two groups which differ on an independent variable and we want to test hypotheses about differences on one or more dependent variables OR • We have two groups which already differ on a dependent variable and we want to test hypotheses about differences on one or more independent variables ADVANTAGES OF EXPOST FACTO Since most of the social behavioural problems, cannot be subjected to experimental investigations, ex-post factor research is a good explanatory instrument of changes that take place in the dependent variables. If the set of independent variables is carefully selected and proper techniques adopted for analyses, meaningful insights can be gained into the changing pattern of dependent variables. It can even be said that ex-post facto research is more important than experimental research. This is, of course, not a methodological observation. It means rather, that the most important social scientific research problems do not lend themselves to experimental, although many of them do lend themselves to controlled inquiry of the ex-post facto kind. LOOPHOLES OF EXPOST FACTO (a) The inability to control the changing patterns of independent variables. As already explained, independent variables in social behavioural situations vary in a very complex and independent fashion and restrict the manipulate character of the researcher. As such in many a situation, it becomes very difficult...

...Interpretation of the Self Concept in a consumer The Social Homebird This subject is a 21 year old female living in Cork. She is studying nutritional science in UCC. From the analysis of the interview conducted with her we have hopefully gained some insight into her self concept. Almost immediately in the interview it becomes apparent that she has a close connection with her family. When asked how long she has been baking for she tells us that she’s been baking “forever, my Mam and I used to spend all weekend baking together when I was younger”. To even further the point that family is of great importance to her she says that one of the things she would do if she won the lotto was go and spend time in Thailand with her family who were over there visiting her sister. “I think I would go to Thailand, I’ve been there before, it’s a beautiful country and because my sister just moved out there and it would be nice to see her. Plus my parents, my brother, his wife and child are just gone out to visit her for three weeks so it would be a lot of fun”. She further cements the importance of family by saying that if she had won the lotto she would donate some of the money to charity, rather than buying designer bags. The reason for the donation to the respective charities is because someone in her family had suffered from an illness the charities support “If I could spread it out I would but if not maybe to Alzheimer’s research or cancer research. I’ve had people that were affected by...

...“We didn’t have birthday parties we didn’t have places that we went out to wow that sucks.” This was the shocking response I got from an affectionate mother in Sinking Spring PA when asked about the struggles she faced in the past. Her name is Ashalisett Aroche. She had many struggles in her life because she was poor when she was younger and her kids father went to jail. She has just had a very rough life overall. Asha was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She grew up poor and had a rough life. She left home at a young age and started working at 12. Some struggles she faced growing up were thet she grew up kind of poor so she started working at an early age because there were nine of them in a two bedroom apartment and her stepfather wasn’t really around so it was just really her mom just kind of paying for everything and Elias her brother kind of helping her out and so she had to grow up really quick. I didn’t really have much of a childhood. Asha is most proud of her children. She’s proud of just raising her kids as a single mom. “I don’t think I’m perfect, but I think I’ve done a good job” she responded when asked what she was proud of. She is also proud of putting herself through college being a single mom with her kids and just being able to be that example for them of how she...

...universities more open-minded that in France because chemistry with management doesn't really exist here, you have to choose or chemistry or management. I gradually became interested in chemistry at school. Last year my teacher wanted us to discover what chemistry really was by giving us harder work than we were supposed to do to make us discover new things by ourselves. I really enjoyed it and I knew that I wanted to continue chemistry after high school. For management, it is different; I have always wanted to do it. It is frequent in my family to discuss at dinners about current topics on the economical and political situation on the world. It helped me to develop my interest for any issues linked to the world's situation. Moreover, last year we had a project to do in team of three (we chose to talk about asbestos) and I really enjoyed leading this team in order to make us succeed in working together. I think I have the required abilities to adapt to a British university and contribute to its life by my personals qualities. I have two main characteristics, which are an open-mind, and a taste for discovering new things. I lived one year in Dublin (in 2011-2012) for my 11th year. I studied at the French School and I stayed in an Irish host family. I did this experience because I am strongly curious for new horizons and it made me discover a new environment and become more independent than people of my age. I also do some sport and art's activities. I began playing...

...The Problem of Perception First published Tue Mar 8, 2005; substantive revision Fri Feb 4, 2011 Sense-perception—the awareness or apprehension of things by sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste—has long been a preoccupation of philosophers. One pervasive and traditional problem, sometimes called “the problem of perception”, is created by the phenomena of perceptual illusion and hallucination: if these kinds of error are possible, how can perception be what it intuitively seems to be, a direct and immediate access to reality? The present entry is about how these possibilities of error challenge the intelligibility of the phenomenon of perception, and how the major theories of perception in the last century are best understood as responses to this challenge. • 1. The Problem of Perception o 1.1 Introduction o 1.2 The Argument from Illusion o 1.3 The Argument from Hallucination • 2.
