...Assignment 5 Paper Both freedom and equality are political issues that have yet to be fully resolved and understood despite our nation being founded on both. Although we as a society have glamorized our country as being the “Land of the Free” and where “Everyone is created equal,” there are still social issues that give reason to believe that we as citizens of the United States aren’t so equal and not exactly all that free. In the Dialogue readings, I have selected four of which I feel could be strongly applied to the political beliefs of both freedom and equality. In the “Self and Society” book complied of different readings and philosophical authors, I have chosen Albert Camus, B.F. Skinner, Horace Miner, and C. Wright Mills as comparisons to the ideas on freedom and equality. In Camus’ reading entitled “The Guest,” the schoolmaster named Daru is visited by a horseman, Balducci. Alongside Balducci is his captive prisoner, an Arab who remains nameless throughout the reading. Balducci instructs Camus to take the prisoner to police headquarters to face accusations against a supposed crime he had committed. Throughout the story, Daru is seen living well in his furnished and heated home that looks over an impoverished, cold and often corrupt land. This demonstrates quite obviously that not everyone is considered equal, as the rest of the land is cold and freezing while Daru is kept warm. Daru, who goes against Balducci’s orders, and remains true to his own personal freedoms...

...two phases. The first phase is scheduled to be completed in December 2014. It includes a Magic Kingdom-style park, Shanghai Disneyland Park, and two themed hotels. The two phases cover a total of 963 acres of land, more than three times the size of the Hongkong Disneyland. The budget of the project amounts to US$ 4.5 billion. The Resort is built in a style similar to other Disney Resorts around the world. At the same time, special fascinations are designed to attract Chinese guests. Distinctive performance will be organised in particular Chinese festivals. After completion of the first phase, the Resort is expected to serve 12 million guests during the first six months. As expected, the guests will be local citizens and residents in the neighbouring provinces. Gradually, the Resort plans to attract customers from the entire nation, as well as tourists from countries in the vicinity, such as South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan. The management budgets at 40 million guests per year, until the completion of the second phase. The management anticipates a similar customer profile in the target market segment. That is, families with young children are the primary targets. Secondarily, the Resort aims at young couples, tourists, and youth groups. Although the disposable income per capita is relatively low in China, the management is confident about the consumer spending power in the Resort. The blooming economic outlook and one-child policy are favourable...

...Cabo San Viejo: Rewarding Loyalty | Market Management Case Analysis | | Caryn Harrington 3/18/2015 | Background Cabo San Viejo was founded in 1977 by Dave and Florence Blumenthal. It was an inspiration due to Dave’s success in changing his unhealthy lifestyle and creates a place where smokers, overweight people, and others could go to feel better and learn how to live healthier lives.

...Human resources Human resources is the set of individuals who make up the workforce of an organization, business sector, or economy. "Human capital" is sometimes used synonymously with human resources, although human capital typically refers to a more narrow view (i.e., the knowledge the individuals embody and can contribute to an organization). Likewise, other terms sometimes used include "manpower", "talent", "labour", or simply "people". The professional discipline and business function that oversees an organization's human resources is called human resource management (HRM, or simply HR). Overview The term in practice From the corporate objective, employees have been traditionally viewed as assets to the enterprise, whose value is enhanced by further learning and development, referred to as human resource development.[1]Organizations will engage in a broad range of human resource management practices to capitalize on those assets. In governing human resources, three major trends are typically considered: 1. Demographics: the characteristics of a population/workforce, for example, age, gender or social class. This type of trend may have an effect in relation to pension offerings, insurance packages etc. 2. Diversity: the variation within the population/workplace. Changes in society now mean that a larger proportion of organizations are made up of "baby-boomers" or older employees in comparison to thirty years ago. Advocates of "workplace diversity" advocate an employee...

...MGMT 530 Week 5 Case Analysis Labadee Decision To Buy This material Click below link http://www.uoptutors.com/mgmt-530/mgmt-530-week-5-case-analysis-labadee-decision In January 2010, the island nation of Haiti was devastated by an earthquake. Royal Caribbean International, a major cruise line, owns a private beach in Haiti, which is typically a port of call on several of their Caribbean cruise itineraries. The private port, known as Labadee, is about 80 miles away from Port au Prince. The beach was unaffected by the quake. In the days following the earthquake, the company wrestled with several issues as they determined whether to continue to stop in Labadee or temporarily abandon the port of call. Their objectives would be to 1) ensure guest satisfaction; 2) protect the brand; and 3) maximize profitability. Some of the consequences they considered as they tried to determine whether the cruise line should continue to make a stop in Haiti in the midst of this crisis are as follows. Will cruise passengers be interested in relaxing on a beach when hundreds of thousands are homeless and hungry just 80 miles away? Could this impact new reservations or cause people to cancel? Based on research and consulting with others, you believe there will be minimal impact. Because the community near the beach depends financially on the cruise line for income, would suspending the stop in Haiti make the country worse off? Based on your analysis, there is a high likelihood that the area...

...aim of preparing this business proposal is to illustrate our plan of how to improve the profitability of our department. In order to improve the profitability of our department, we need to identify what are the (1) problems as well as how to tackle those problems and (2) what else we can do. (1) Problems and Solutions: (Profit sensitivity analysis) By using the method of profit improvement, Profit Sensitivity Analysis, we can identify some key factors of a business, which are products, services (about staff and equipments), the prices and the atmosphere and mood. More important is that the existed problems of our department, in a certain extent, can negatively affect the key factors. Therefore, we need to take the initiative to tackle those problems as soon as possible. At first, the most significant factor should be the quality of our products. Thus, we should be concentrated on our ingredients and dishes. However, we are facing some problems. Some of our ingredients come from Japan and the nuclear problem leads to some negative effects like some of the materials are contaminated such as spinach(菠菜)and milk product. The guests are not willing to choose some of our dishes, which contain Japanese ingredients. It largely affects our business. On the other hand, there are some problems about our dishes due to the food poison incident and ever-changing eating habit. We are really disappointed about the recent food poison incident.
