...In recent years, internet piracy or "file sharing" of copyrighted material has gained much popularity. It is a topic that has incessantly sparked debate and has even received global attention. Although on the surface the act of file sharing may seem harmless, it is far from it. Each year, film and record production companies as well as software and video game development companies suffer from billions of dollars in lost profits. This loss comes as a direct result of internet piracy. Many agree that file sharing is unethical and consider it to be no different than downright theft. On the other hand, there are those that support file sharing and claim that their actions are easily justified and ethical. This essay will provide a brief overview and history of file sharing, will consider the arguments of each side, and will offer my personal observations and stance on the issue. File sharing, put simply, is the process of making available and distributing files via the internet. Many freely developed applications have been made available that simplify this process, providing the ability to easily search for, download, and upload any piece of digital content imaginable. These applications are commonly referred to as P2P or peer-to-peer applications as they allow individuals (peers) to directly connect with other peers to share files. By themselves, such applications are useless; a central network must be available that allows each peer to see one another. These networks...

...camera simplified the photo taking process (Williams, C. 2013) Kodak’s main focus was photography and imaging. They had an array of products that ranged from photography equipment, film, paper and color chemicals. In the1980’s, Kodak’s market share reached 90%. This was a very special moment in the company’s history. Kodak developed the first concept of the digital camera in 1975. Their executives could not imagine the world without traditional film; unfortunately, the idea was dropped because they feared it would threaten the company’s film business. Digital cameras would become common; the technology started to spread and film sales dropped considerably at the late 1990’s. Kodak made a slow transition to digital technology. Unfortunately, their competitors adapted to change. This lead to Kodak’s loss of market shares both in the United States and worldwide. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. After one year of continuous battle to keep the company prosperous, the court approved financing for them. Kodak sold many of its patents to groups of companies such as; Apple, Google, Microsoft, and others (Snyder, 2013). Fujifilm which is a Japanese company was founded in 1934 (Tsurumi, Y 1999). Popularity for Fujifilm grew at an enormous rate. They were in second place in the United States in film usage. Eventually, they began selling globally. Fujifilm made bold moves in American...

...universally portrays stereotypical asylum life as unpleasant is because human beings natural crave interaction (Lieberman, 2013). Society being presented with involuntary social isolation under the guise of care has evoked a lot of casually negative artistic presentations. It’s important to note the lackadaisical nature of the presentation of inpatient psychiatric care, as the content creators are not making a statement as much as they are sharing what they believe to be a realistic interpretation of life inside of mental healthcare facility. For example, the second Terminator film has a chase scene inside of a mental hospital, which is solid white, with padded rooms, and bars on the doors and windows. The theme of staff in white coats is furthered in the popular idiom “Men in white coats” which references psychiatric hospital employees in a predatory...

Television is an invention that came about years before my time and it is one of those things in life that I have become a custom to always having and not knowing anything different. There was a time when televisions did not exist and the radio was all that was around. Then the television came around but not in the color version that we are all used to but in black and white and remote controls were not a part of the standard television package like now. Remote controls came years later once televisions were upgraded to color. We have come a long way in the innovative upgrades of televisions because now we have plasma and HDTV flat panel televisions with advanced remote controls...

...INDUSTRIAL PROFILE Man’s urge to communicate with ones neighbours led to the development of languages as well as newspapers. In the past new stories were revealed by word of mouth than through the written materials. An American Dramatist Arthur Miller says, "A good newspaper is a nation talking to itself”. The earliest version on a newspaper was a daily sheet published in 59 BC in Rome called 'Acta Diurna' (daily even). The earliest known printer newspaper was in Beijing in 748 AD. The 1700 were a century in which market elements were created that encouraged the development of daily newspapers. The first daily newspaper was 'The Daily Courant' in London 1702. Newspaper and Newspaper advertising have been the most important tools in shaping the growth and development of the modern society. More than anything, they have been very instrumental in bridging communication gap between people and contribute to the air of awareness in a society. One of the most crucial tasks of the newspaper industry is to contribute towards the economic and industrial development of a country through the assimilation of people's thoughts and opinions. WORLD SCENARIO The first newspaper in the world of which there is a record was 'Pecking Gazette' published between AD 600's and 900's China. It was printed by wood block, the kind of printing invented by the Chinese in the year 594. Less than* 100 years after Johannes Guttenberg developed printing press in year in 1447, there appeared...

Purpose/Objective Through an in depth analysis of DuPont I plan on utilizing the principles and concepts studied throughout the textbook to break down the structure and provide a tangible valuation on how management works to stimulate the future growth of the company. With a tough several years embroiled in a downturned economy, a focus will be put on how DuPont has responded and adapted through its management style and implementation of strategies to maintain profitability and realign themselves with the market.

However, Korean Air is held up by a slew of challenges. Among which are inefficiencies of - Chaebol system of management, possible clash of its cargo business with its own shipping company, limited focus on the domestic market and growing competition from LCCs. How would Korean Air manage growth as a family-owned conglomerate? The case offers enriching scope for analysing a family business’s turnaround strategies, with all the legacy costs involved.

She’s an engineer, with her professional engineer’s license, for the state department of transportation.

Banking in the form in which it exists nowadays is comparatively of recent origin. Before the advent of modern banking, direct finance, where the owner of capital deals directly with the user of capital, was the customary mode of transference of funds from savers to investors. Now, banks are engaged in various functions i.e., receiving, collecting, transferring, paying, lending, investing, dealing, exchanging, and servicing money and claims to money both locally and internationally. Bangladesh is a country suffering from immense social, political, economic and environmental issues and these issues need to be addressed for the overall development of this country.

We see through time where our imaginations have expended when it comes to think about Robots and what we think they will become. We used to think of Robots as multiple armed machines that could cook eggs, pour coffee, and flip eggs. These robots would mimic human behaviors and motions. Then we see cartoons of robots that gave us dreams of robot maids and robot machines that would supply us with any food of our choice, and have it fully cooked, and delivered through a tube. However, now-a-days, we have evolved to higher technology and have even greater imaginations (Niku, 2001). Although, there is one country that surpasses all when it comes to robots and robotics...
