...special alright, but for the worst. John and his wife were talking, when John had to go to the men's room. John was standing over the sink washing his hands. He suspected he was alone, but then out of nowhere someone came up from behind him and wrapped a rope tightly around his neck. He struggled and fought but his attacker was too strong. As John's face turned from pale to purple, he hit the ground. That same night, Karen was in her bedroom. Her long, luscious hair flowed as she walked, over to one of her drawers, searching for her favourite outfit.

She yelled for help, but by the time her neighbours came, her killer was gone and she was dead. Now the police...

...Glencore’s bad international practices As the world is enduring a serious financial crisis, big businesses have been challenged as never before. Protesters have been demanding a fairer form of capitalism. People want more socially responsible companies and genuinely popular capitalism. The case discusses one of the world’s most powerful conglomerates in the world which is Glencore. As it was recently introduced in London Stock Exchange, Glencore was questioned about its international practices. It is a commodity giant specialized in raw materials. The multi-billion dollar commodity giant is accused of profiting from child labor in several mining exploitation in the Congo, moreover, claims say that it is paying the associates of paramilitary killers in Colombia. An investigation proves that children as young as ten are working in the Glencore-owned mining concession and some confidential documents show a Glencore subsidiary made payments to the suspected associates of paramilitary in Colombia. In the Congo, while international law prohibits anyone under 18 working in a mine, many of the miners were under the legal age. Although Glencore says it stopped operating in the mine since 2008, because of the collapse in the price of copper, it still owns the concession. Glencore chief executive Ivan Glasenberg said the mine had been taken over by local workers without its permission. He said the child miners were part of a group of freelance miners who "raided our land in 2010… against all...

...Cristian Uribe The war without end, selfishness, nothing to do against death and the scars of the war in Men without women In this essay I’m talking about the main issues present in the following short stories in Men without women by Ernest Hemingway (1928): In another country (25-29), Hills like white elephants (29-33), The killers (33-40) and Now I lay me (83). In another country is about a wounded American soldier recuperating from an injury by receiving treatments from machines in a hospital in Milan, Italy. Machines. With him there’s an Italian major receiving treatment for a shriveled hand. There is a strong optimism of a physician employing the new machines which is contrasted with the skepticism of Italian major who, disbelieving in the machines, nevertheless comes regularly for therapy to his hand. That daily attendance is interrupted only with the sudden death of the major’s wife. The machines were new, as result, the narrator and the major were trying them. And although they both didn’t trust in the machines they were under their treatment because they really wanted to recover. The major wanted to be his wife and the narrator probably wanted to clean his pride because his wound and medals were “fake”. What I think can be infer from the text is that even if the machines have success healing the soldiers, the war for them won’t end because is not just facing enemy on the front line but also picking up the pieces of their damaged lives and facing the prospect...

...Eternal Beauty In Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18”, the narrator employs an extended metaphor when comparing the addressee to a “summer’s day”. The metaphor is emphasized by the tone shift in line nine, and the comparison is finalized by a couplet that expands on the theme of immortality. The sonnet makes it clear that the individual’s beauty and vigor cannot be compared to commonplace nature and that the individual is something more than human. Sonnet 18 is part of the group of sonnets that is written to address men. In this particular one, Shakespeare compares the man’s beauty to that of nature, particularly a day in the summer. The first quatrain begins the extended metaphor by implying that the man being addressed has all the qualities of a summer’s day. This immediately associates the man with the sun and all of its qualities: he is strong, bright, and full of energy. However, by writing: “Though art more lovely and more temperate,” in line two, Shakespeare illustrates the fact that although the best thing nature has to offer, a summer’s day is far from perfect. The first shift happens in line three; the narrator stops talking about the man and begins pointing out the imperfections of summer. He employs vivid imagery to argue that summer’s beauty is hurt by “rough winds” and its “lease hath all too short a date,” (4). Shakespeare also adds that summer may sometimes be too hot, and other times its “gold complexion [is] dimm’d,” (5). This emphasizes the qualities of the man; he...

...built up for something bad to happen. A point of view shot is then used as the camera goes around the side of the house. We have not yet seen this person, but we are seeing from their perspective and they are creeping around in the shadows, it creates an anxious feeling and we feel as though we are intruding. The shot then shows two people through the window of the house, and they are unaware that they are being watched. This is used to create suspense. The point of view shot then changes so that we are seeing the shot through the eyes of the killers mask. And because of this, we can’t really see what is happening, which makes the audience nervous and gives an uncanny feeling. Around this time, it is shown that it is the killer who’s mindset the viewer is in, which means that it breaks the typical conventions of Horror. I know this because, it is unusual as the viewer is usually made to relate to the victim, meaning it to be that the killer is just as creepy and scary to them as though it was actually happening. Mainly long shots are used in this opening and...

...Organization History Coca-Cola was founded off of curiosity by an Atlanta pharmacist named Dr. John S. Pemberton in 1886. He created flavored syrup in which he took to his neighborhood pharmacy, where it was mixed with carbonated water and deemed “excellent” by those who sampled it (The Coca-Cola Company 2015). The distinctive tasting soft drink that was originally created was made for soda fountains. Dr. Pemberton’s partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, is credited with naming the beverage “CocaCola” as well as designing the trademarked, distinct script, still used today (The Coca-Cola Company 2015). Coca-Cola’s roadmap starts with their mission, which declares their purpose as a company and serves as the standard against which they weigh out their actions and decisions. Coca-Cola’s mission is to: * To refresh the world * To inspire moments of optimism and happiness * To create value and make a difference Organization Strengths and weaknesses The Coca-Cola System The first strength Coca-Cola has is that they are a global business that works on a local scale. Because Coca-Cola does business in every community they have created global reach with local focus. The Coca-Cola system has created over 250 bottling partners worldwide. Coca-Cola manufactures and sells concentrates, beverage bases and syrups to bottling operations, owns the brands and is responsible for consumer brand marketing initiatives.

...SUBJECT BUSINESS ETHICS PROFESSOR CYRUS GONDA TOPIC UNETHICAL PRACTISE IN FOLLOWING SECTORS: HOSPITAL GROSSERY HOTEL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY JOURNALISM GYMNASIUM INTERIOR INSURANCE UNETHICAL PRACTISE IN DIFFERENT SECTORS Hospital No profession is more fundamentally rooted in an ethic than medicine. In the 21st century, almost every young American physician graduates from medical school by reciting some version of an oath of ethical behavior first sworn to by doctors in the fifth century B.C. To be sure, the original formulation by the Greek physician Hippocrates is a bit outdated--starting with its invocation of obscure Greek gods and, among many anachronisms, equating treatment with "dietetic measures" and relegating surgery to barbers. Many medical schools have adopted updated versions of the oath, in which not only the language and concepts are modernized but also considerations such as avoiding overtreatment and factoring the patient's economic well-being into the therapeutic relationship are explicitly included in the pledge. Ethical guidelines are central to medical practice because of what one respondent to ACPE's recent poll of physician leaders summarized as the "inherent conflict of interest" between the physician's role as trusted healer and the physician's role as breadwinner--earning a living from the medical knowledge and ministrations applied Case studies: the legal implications for health care's bad business practices Bad, or unethical,...
