...loyalty, individual vs. community, short-term vs. long-term, and justice vs. mercy. Truth vs. loyalty asks whether one should tell the truth or remain loyal to their cohorts. Individual vs. community contrasts the individual’s needs against those of the community. Short-term vs. long-term is about the needs of a person in the short-term and the future. Justice vs. mercy asks the question whether one should stick hard and fast with the rules or allow an exception and grant someone mercy. A list of the more applicable paradigms to the least is as follows: truth vs. loyalty, justice vs. mercy, short-term vs. long-term, individual vs. community. Truth vs. loyalty and justice vs. mercy fits this moral dilemma because you have to choose whether to tell the truth and report the knob or remain loyal to him and help him out. You choose whether to give justice to the situation and report him or give him mercy and help him. Short-term vs. long-term applies less so because the short-term effect is that he gets away with his behavior but in the long term it sets a precedence for him to continue this behavior. Individual vs. community does not apply to this moral...

After this tragedy, Mark Antony and Marcus Brutus hold a ‘funeral’ for Caesar. Both Mark Antony and Marcus Brutus are close friends of Julius Caesar.

...ETHICAL DILEMMA Business Ethics BACKGROUND I am an Account Officer at a bank (Corporate Banking Department), in charge of managing corporate accounts, all of which are Japanese companies. In one of my meetings, the client personally submitted an original application for online banking to me. There was no receiving copy. After going back to the office, I forwarded to my assistant for processing. My assistant, who has also become my friend over time, is well known for numerous errors and oversights. During the same week, we were cleaning up our area and shredding unnecessary and old documents. After a few weeks, the application was already missing. After finding out that the documents were missing, I was faced with the dilemma of either completely blaming my assistant as solely accountable for losing the documents or taking responsibility for my subordinate and informing my boss that our team lost the document. FACTS A. An original application form was personally submitted to me by a client with no receiving copy. After going back to the office, I forwarded to my assistant for processing. Since I got back late in the afternoon, the documents were included in our logbook for “Overnight Pending Items” which were kept at our main vault. B. My assistant is known for making a lot of errors and oversights. She has been assigned to different Account Officers and all of them complained that they were having a hard time managing her due...

...Miracle In these couple of chapters Amir enters into a kite tournament where he wins. This metaphor about Amir, Baba and the kite tournament “the chill between Baba and me thawed a little.” I think that this is a very good metaphor because if Amir wins the kite tournament then he will also win his father’s respect “Would I ever lie to you, Amir Agha?” (Hosseini 54) This quote signifies Hassan’s loyalty to Amir and how he doesn’t just see as a friend, but as a brother. His loyalty is not just shown through words alone, but through the actions that he does. Lying to Amir is what Hassan believes will separate him from his only and best friend Amir. The imagery shown in this section is if a friend is really a friend when the time comes. Amir doesn’t appreciate Hassan for his values enough to even fight for their friendship and prove his friendship when the time came. He watched Hassan get raped which was not an easy sight to withstand, but at least try and fight for a person who you claim to be your friend not only when you and him are alone, but when others are around you. The theme is Guilt vs. Love and it is shown through Amir’s fight to get rid of the guilt he feels he has inside of him for not helping Hassan and his fight for the love of his father and how he believes that the kite-fighting tournament is the last resort he might have to get the relationship that he always wanted with his father. This section makes me feel that no matter what happens if you claim somebody to be your...

...pinnacle of the loyalty continuum, true communities possess social structure and exhibit socialization processes. These sociological facts must be thoroughly understood by any manager who claims community goals for his or her brand. HarleyDavidson – frequently admired for its ability to generate an almost religious loyalty to its brand – has developed a deep appreciation of the power of brand communities that personally link consumers together and is eager to manage them successfully. The present article, evolved from the Harvard Business School study case on the Harley-Davidson “Posse Ride“, deals with the management challenges and tensions that may arise when building brand communities.

...Chapter 2 Customer-Based Brand Equity Overview This chapter defines the concept that is the focus of the book. Customer-based brand equity (CBBE) is the differential effect that brand knowledge has on consumer response to the marketing of that brand. Brand knowledge is a function of awareness, which relates to consumers’ ability to recognize or recall the brand, and image, which consists of consumers’ perceptions of and associations for the brand. Building awareness requires repeatedly exposing consumers to the brand as well as linking the brand in consumer memory to its product category and to purchase, usage and consumption situations. Creating a positive brand image requires establishing strong, favorable and unique associations for the brand. The chapter outlines the important contribution of brand knowledge to brand equity. Brand knowledge is composed of brand awareness, which is itself a function of recognition and recall, and brand image, which reflects the associations consumers hold for the brand in memory. Brand awareness is important because 1) it is a necessary condition for inclusion in the set of brands being considered for purchase, 2) in low-involvement decision settings it can be a sufficient condition for choice, and 3) it influences the nature and strength of associations that comprise the brand image. Awareness can be heightened by increasing consumer exposure to the brand and by linking the brand to product category, consumption and usage...

...in a place or organization.” Throughout the years there have been many intercultural management studies and there are four most widely accepted theories: The Hofstede study, The GLOBE study, The Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner study, and Hall & Hall’s cultural dimensions. These studies broke down cultures and behaviors around the world and are valued resources for IHRM departments. First, there is the Hofstede study. Geert Hofstede was a professor who conducted an extremely comprehensive study of how different cultures place value in the workplace. It was Hofstede who first made an empirical model and had different dimensions of national culture. These dimensions were: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, femininity vs. masculinity, individualism vs. collectivism, and long-term orientation. Each different country would get scores in each section and from these scores one could better understand the country’s way of doing things. To gain a better understanding, below is a comparison between the United States and Portugal. The first of the dimensions is power distance Power Distance. Power Distance “refers to the way in which power is distributed and the extent to which the less powerful accept that power is distributed unequally. Put...

...* Essay Topic Good vs. Evil. How are the concepts of good and evil presented in Beowulf? Does this reveal anything about Anglo-Saxon society? Beowulf is the greatest surviving Old English poem, an epic that recounts the main events in the life of a legendary hero named Beowulf. Beowulf’s destiny is to fight and conquer the monsters that terrorize the kingdom of the Danes. Many events in Beowulf are directly related to the Bible, making the constant battle between good and evil one of the most important themes. Beowulf is a courageous, strong and loyal warrior. He is brave, and he has self confidence bordering on insanity, but he’s also generous and kind towards others. Beowulf shows that he has confidence when he fights Grendel without weapons. When he defeats Grendel, he demonstrates that men are capable of destroying evil if they wish to do so. Beowulf’s qualities make him the epitome of a hero. “Beowulf emphasizes values that were important to Norse warriors, such as courage, loyalty to one's king and comrades, and honor for those who fight and die bravely. The story emphasizes how fragile life and fame can be. Like any person, Beowulf must find meaning in his world while accepting the fact that he will eventually die. He meets that challenge by facing danger bravely and trusting that the story of his deeds will cause him to live on in the memories of those who hear it.” (from the New Catholic Encyclopedia) Goodness is represented throughout the poem by the characters...

...Kite Runner vs. Poetry Key quotes: “A boy who won’t stand up for himself becomes a man who can’t stand up to anything” – Baba says this to Rahim Khan as a comment on the behaviour of Amir. Through this he identifies Amir’s greatest flaw: cowardice. It is this trait that leaves him desperately craving Baba’s love, and ultimately leads to be letting Assef rape Hassan. It also foreshadows Amir’s return to Kabul in search of Sohrab; the test of Amir’s character also tests whether Baba’s statement is true. “Huddled together in the dining room and waiting for the sun to rise, none of us had any notion that a way of life had ended” – This sentence appears towards the start of chapter five and indicates the fall of the monarchy and the descent of Kabul (and indeed Afghanistan) into political instability. The peaceful world Amir knows, made possible by Baba’s wealth, turns into one full of violence and uncertainty. It ultimately leads to Baba and Amir fleeing the country. “There is a way to be good again” – Rahim Khan says this to Amir over the phone when trying to encourage him to come to Pakistan and in the dialogue this appears like an afterthought. It reveals that Rahim Khan knows the truth about what Amir did to Hassan. It also ties into the theme of redemption, allowing the reader to believe that by returning to the Middle East, Amir will be given the opportunity to break the cycle of guilt he is trapped in. “My body was broken—just how badly I wouldn’t find out until later—but...
