...Chapter 1 Ethical Reasoning: Implications for Accounting Discussion Questions 1. Select one of the world’s religions and give a concrete example of how the Golden Rule applies in that religion. "Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. On these lines every religion had more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal." The Dalai Lama Students may use the Internet as resource when researching the use of the Golden Rule in different religions. At websites such as www.religioustolerance.org/reciproc.htm and www.scarboromissions.ca, the comparisons of world religions are made. The students can compare the provided information with their personal views on the Golden Rule. From the Baha’I Faith, “Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for anyone the things you would not desire for yourself.” Baha’u’llah in Gleaning (from www.scarboromissions.ca/Golden_rule/sacred_texts.php, February 7, 2010). From www.religioustolerance.org/reciproc.htm (February 7, 2010), Black Elk of Native American Spiritually is quoted “All things are our relatives; what we do to everything, we do to ourselves. All is really One.” Plato also stated, “May I do to others as I would that they should do unto me.” Many students may remember being reasoned with by a parent or teacher on such lines of thinking. Students may remark that the appeal for many charities, particularly those who feed...

...Chapter 3 ethical dilemma Jackie did not know the relationship she was having with Curtis was considered illegal at her record company until after it was too late. I feel as though someone within the company should have told her that beforehand. However, her personal relationship rises more than a few ethical issues presented in this chapter. To begin, her lack of integrity, Integrity is defined as being whole, sound, and in an unimpaired condition. Had Jackie used integrity before continuing her relationship with Curtis, she would not be the sexual harassment and bullying that is undeserved to her. Once Jackie found out that Curtis had been carrying on with Leslie, a woman who worked in the legal department, and decided to break their relationship off she now had to deal with the abusive behavior that Curtis purposely put on her. If Jackie had acted earlier on before the situation got ugly I believe she definitely could have lifted a huge weight off her shoulders. She could always leave but since Curtis literally holds her singing career in his hands, her career is done before it even started. Personally, I think she should bring in lawyers and have them deal with Curtis because the legal department is obviously not backing her up in the situation either. If she does take legal action and wins, Jackie can easily move on with her life and her career. However, if she loses in this legal action, working at SDR would literally be a living nightmare and she will stifled for years...

...communities through volunteer activities and monetary support. The organization is important because it helps students to develop professionally and socially throughout college. Coming into a new school, it is always hard to identify the right career path, especially in the business world. However, at Alpha Kappa Psi, the members can serve as mentors to guide newcomers towards a successful career path. This includes, exploring the industry, meeting with professionals, and the means to obtain various internships. Students want to join Alpha Kappa Psi to develop their professional skills and to start building their networking around high achieving and self-driven individuals. Although they hail from different schools, the Alpha Kappa Psi chapters provide similar goals and opportunities, as evidenced in the similarities of experiences between my brother and roommate. The responses of my roommate draws many parallels to the information outlined in Peer Group Influences Supporting Untracking. In particular, Hugh Mehan states “Several Saratoga students told us that they did not know anyone in AVID when they joined but, after a few years, almost all of their friends were from AVID. These friendships developed because they were together in classes throughout the day and worked together in study groups.” (Mehan, 150) Mehan argues that this untracking program has allowed many newcomers to acculturate into society and create bonds among every one of its members. This group not only prevents...

...------------------------------------------------- The Effects of Failing Grades in Major Subjects to Fourth Year Students CHAPTER 1: THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND This chapter generally tackles the researchers’ introduction, background of the study, statement of the problem, hypothesis, and significance of the study, scope, limitations, and delimitations of the study, conceptual framework, research paradigm, and the definition of terms. INTRODUCTION There is definitely a big difference between undergraduates and the graduating ones. As seniority comes into place, the researchers would like to expand the idea of academic pressure to the fourth year students since their schedules are hectic and made more excruciating for they focus on their collegiate lives, but there will come a time that they won’t be able to balance the flavors of a tasteful graduation. One sickening of an obstacle is a failing grade. Though very familiar to the students’ ideas, the researchers would be able to know what the aftermaths are on this predicament. Some may take this as a grueling challenge, while others consider this as a misfortune. But one thing is for sure though, the learning experiences of fourth year students are crazily implied at any given level. At the preceding chapters, the researchers find out whether these unfortunate table turn is either a non – factor or a really heavy impact to their students. Furthermore, the researchers resolve the question “How big is a failing mark to...
