...The Parable of The Sadhu Reflection by: Austine Mae Gabales Mgt19 MTH 10:30-12:00 The Sadhu provides a parallel to business situations — both require quick responses where indecision can have grim consequences. As on the mountain, most business decisions occur absent all relevant information. Also, in our business lives our rush to succeed can let our goals interfere with doing the right thing. I would suggest that most of us have become numb to situations we confront because of their banality and our drive to achieve. Sometimes we just look through or past issues. Moral decision-making does not occur in a vacuum. The real test of personal and corporate values is what you do under stress. Judgments rendered under pressure reveal more about our character than pronouncements of corporate ethics do. As you think about the “Parable,” bear in mind that decisions made in the comfort of your office or home may not be the ones you would make on top of a cold mountain, or more to the point, under job stress. To a large degree, stress and teleopathy, the overzealous pursuit of a goal, limit us all. Greed, singleness of purpose, rationalization and detachment conspire to keep Sadhus out of our lives. The detachment of politicians and the greed of business people combined to induce the financial meltdown, and the rationalization that followed elucidates how unfortunate decisions can impact or destroy others. Last week, I received upsetting news about my close friend. She asked me...

...CLASSES OF INSURANCE LIFE INSURANCE This is a contract between the policy owner and the insurer, where the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money upon the occurrence of the insured individual’s or individual’s death. It is the risk pooling plan and economic device through which the risk of premature death is transferred from the individual to a group In return the policy owner or policy payer agrees to pay a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals or in lump sums (so-called “paid up” insurance). A life insurance contract is intended to meet the needs of survivors or beneficiaries, when the investor dies. From the life insurance contract, the beneficiaries receive a sum of money that far exceeds the value of the premiums the investor had paid. The beneficiaries, of course, receive this benefit if the person insured dies during the contract period. The contract of life insurance is different from other types of insurance in the following respects. The event insurer against is an eventual certainty i.e. nobody lives forever. It is not the possibility of death that is insured against; rather, it’s the untimely death. The risk is not whether the insured person is going to die but when. The risk increases as the individual ages or grows older because chances of death are greater in later years than in initial years. There is no possibility of partial loss in life as in the case of property and liability insurance. Therefore, if a loss occurs under life...

...The legalization of gambling in Texas has been in debate for many years. In 1995, Texas proposed a referendum for casino gambling but it was rejected by many of the stateʼs conservative residents. In 2011, casino taxes accounted for $660 million of Indianaʼs state tax revenue (Hoagland-Smith, 2012). This revenue supports basic government services, such as school funding, child safety and corrections. Rather than enjoying the same type of profits, Texas has found it hard to meet its state budget year after year. Revenues from the casino could help cure a lot of the financial issues throughout Texas. These issues can range from roads to schools and education. While revenue from the casinos will be a major benefit for the Texas, the increase in employment will be another component to Texasʼ economic growth (Garrett, 2003). Casino operations require labor, and this labor is likely to come from the local area. Though residents debate over the value of gambling to its moral hazard, its hard not to see how we can benefit from this major source of revenue. Tax revenue could be one of many great beneficial contributions to Texas. Permitting gambling in Texas could boost the economic growth for the state. According to "Business Insider" (2011),”“Bad news on the state of muni finance the Texas budget is expected to run a $27 billion two-year budget shortfall according to just-released state estimates. That is worse than the $25 billion that Paul Krugman cited last week when...

...Abortion: The Beginning and End of Life [Author] [University Affiliation] Abortion: The Beginning and End of Life Abstract In the United States, more than 6 million pregnancies are unwanted annually, with 40% of these opting for an abortion (CDC, 2012). Eight women die every hour worldwide due to unsafe and illegal abortions. The women who go for the unsafe abortions are normally from very poor backgrounds and have no relevant know-how regarding the various family planning methods available. Half of the pregnancies reported annually are unplanned for, and if a woman decides to abort, then the damage is mild. However, making abortions legal worldwide helps reduce the total number of lives of the women who die as a result of unsafe abortions. When a woman dies from undergoing an unsafe abortion, it is a double loss to society because both the mother and the fetus are lost. An abortion carried out by doctors when the woman’s life is at stake has no effect on the society, as it is both ethical and legally accepted within the societal framework. 1.0 Issue- Introductory Analysis It is after a life is lost that abortion begins to intrigue various essential variables. Abortion is a bioethical issue with the attached effects affecting the society at range, in every perspective. Many lives been lost by the women and the fetus; however to be able to synchronize the issue requires analyses of the factors surrounding it. There are some factors that...

The question men have struggled with is how can a good God allow such evil to continue? On a moral level, an even better question would be is the evil man experiences at the hands of other men, a result of God’s divine plan or the effect of man’s free will? Answering these questions is important because uncovering the reason for ongoing evil has challenged some to the point, they have denied their faith and joined a corps of atheists who promote the idea that the presence of suffering, pain and evil are the best testament to a non-existent God. When arguing against the existence of God, one might be presented with attempts to use His divine attributes of omnipotence (all powerful), omniscience (all knowing) and omnibenevolence (all good) against Him....

Other people might says, “Better to be with someone who will make you happy”, what if the reason why you prefer to be alone is that someone who you want to be with is always ignoring you when you need his help or let say his affection and belongingness is not unto you. What if every time you go for, is just like you’re a wind and crap to that person? How can you stay and find time to reassure that he will give you more time to talk with your problems or flaws either? How should you see yourself to be trapped and when you fall asleep the only thing you can imagine is your already dead without knowing and feel it?
