...The coffee thermos Her intoxication, and that she always dragged on that coffee thermos disgusted me. The coffee thermos was probably all she had. I was embarrassed that I was the one who at her birthday had given her it. Spasmodically she kept hold of it: as it was the coffee thermos that now gave her the little balance she could still practice. At first glance she did not recognize me, but then came the memory of my face back and she stumbled forward, straight into my arms. " Are you here, are you taking care of me again. How did you know I was here and enjoying myself. " " You slurs, I can’t hear what you are trying to say." I took her by the arm and led her away from the central streets and its bright illumination, away from the light into the darkness. Only when the town began to disappear, she noticed that we were not going home to her, suddenly she became aware that my gripe around her arm stiffened. "Get off me! What are you doing?!" Desperately, she tried to break free. Her sudden fear triggered me, her betrayal made me angry and pissed off. I felt a great anger, a cracked heat flow through my body. I threw down her tender body on the ground. The grass was wet. It was slippery. I stood straight up and watched as she tried to get up. She couldn’t manage it. She laughed nervously. "Help me up, I'm totally wasted." She pulled back her hair, she didn’t look at me. With hands behind my stretched straight back, I started to objectively go in circles around her...

...Wiseman Mrs. Rash English 111 August 23, 2015 I was asked out of the five emotions (joy, sadness, fear, anger and disgust) which emotion most controls my emotional panel. This question for me was extremely difficult to answer because a person goes through so many emotions every day. However, if I had to choose one emotion it would have to be anger. I often find myself being angry for some reason or another. The emotion I least identify with is disgust. I choose the emotion anger because anger has played a pivotal role in my life. It takes over a big percentage of my emotions. Anger is a very powerful emotion, in fact, it is arguably the most powerful. I’ve recently realized it doesn’t take a lot to anger me. The cause of my anger ranges from disappointment to agitation. Sometimes I am angry from things I can’t control like other peoples decisions or tragedy. Society itself has a tendency to anger me, the world just isn’t right sometimes in my eyes. It has taken me an extremely long time to realize that I can’t control anything but myself. This includes how I deal with negative emotions such as anger or sadness. Anger is what I like to call a blinding emotion. A blinding emotion is an emotion that if allowed to take control of your subconscious can sway your decision making process in a negative way. The emotion that least effect on me I disgust because I have a high tolerance for the ugly things in life. It’s kind of hard to be disgusted when nothing surprises...

...when speaking of today’s society. Can a city really exist where there is nothing but happiness forevermore? No, it cannot, not without consequences; as shown in Le Guin’s story. Good vs. Evil is a definite underlying theme in The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas. The goodness and happiness in the city of Omelas comes only by the misery and sacrifice of an innocent child. Good cannot exist without evil. In this story, the child helps the people of Omelas measure their own happiness; because if the child in the cellar was not so wretched and disgusting, the residents of the city would not be able to appreciate what they have. They do not realize that things outside the city of Omelas are horrible because they cannot comprehend things like disgust, anger, and sickness until they see the child that which provides them with their lifestyle. The child in the cellar represents a way for the people of Omelas to come to terms with their perfection. Another theme that could be taken from this story is man vs. inner self. The city’s people live lives that are, to an extent, care and guilt free. The child’s misery is what the city’s happiness is based off of and the people of Omelas know this, because all children are shown the child at the proper age. The child represent’s the people’s guilt. As long as the child is locked away and never seen, the people of Omelas can live their lives guilt free because it is locked away and out of sight, hidden in the back regions of their minds. In one...

...Restaurant Observation Essay When given the task of finding a restaurant that has an open kitchen a restaurant that comes to my mind was the Harut’s restaurant. I want to write about the exterior of the restaurant, dining area, and kitchen stuff and area. The exterior of the restaurant was not good .The restaurant located behind a gas station. The smell of the gas was terrible. The parking lot littered with trash and most of it seemed to be wrappers from the Subway in the next door. In addition, there was a burrito wrapper from Harut’s and drink napkins from the bar. The parking lot was well lit with no bulbs out of commission. The landscaping left much to be desired. At first glance, this particular Harut’s has no curbside appeal. The parking lot leads right onto the sidewalk. The signage was appropriate in the fact that is has the name of the restaurant on it, but not appropriate in the fact that it’s too high and the first time I went there I didn’t even know where I was going. The signage was also very hazy. Dining area was also bad. Upon entrance of the restaurant, I noticed that the garbage was overflowing. The floor of the established was dirty. The area where their “condiments” are stores was disgustingly un-kept. It was a four-tray temperature storage unit. It contained vegetables, green and red salsa and some more. Contents from each tray were cross contaminating the other trays because in order to get the desired condiment you have to reach...

El ser una empresa ética implica trabajar en equipo arduamente estableciendo en todos los departamentos de la organización una serie de principios como la integridad, el reconocimiento de lo que es un valor y la lealtad a la organización. Las empresas deben de establecer un código de conducta por el cuál todos los trabajadores deben de regir su comportamiento y desplazar el oportunismo, la doble moral, revelar secretos de la empresa, recibir regalos a cambio de favores, etc. En el código de valores se debe de tener en cuenta el trabajo en equipo para lograr objetivos comunes y personales, cumplir con la filosofía de la empresa, tener la actitud para trabajar, cumplir las tareas, desarrollar capacidad de liderazgo, participar en las capacitaciones que la empresa disponga, cuidar los bienes, maquinaria y equipo de la empresa, el respeto a los demás y así mismo, aceptar evaluaciones relacionadas con el dominio y conocimiento de su...

...official. It is what is expected of these officials to perform the highest level of integrity in their everyday work. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. In the Code of Conduct: Article 2: it's states, " In the performance of their duty, law enforcement officials shall respect and protect human dignity and maintain and uphold the human rights of all persons." With that being said; I can't fathom why so many law enforcement officials get away with so much brutality daily. Everyone has morals and ethics, no matter if they are good or bad, you still have them. Law enforcement officials bit only are trained to do the right things, step by step in the line of duty, but whether theory choose to follow their training is entirely up to then. Ramarley Graham, an 18 year old from the Bronx, NY, was shot and killed by a police officer in 2012. Graham was in his grandmothers bathroom at her home, reportedly flushing marijuana down the toilet. Officer Richard Haste, chased Graham into the house even though the officer didn't have a warrant. Graham was unarmed when Haste shot and killed him. A grand jury charged the officer with manslaughter. However, a judge later the indictment out, which allowed Haste to get away with murder. Yes, murder! This officers ethics, morals and integrity were all wrong on every level of his actions in this case. Haste didn't think before he acted. Instead of protecting and "respecting" human dignity and maintain and...

...amiento OrganizacionalDISYUNTIVA ÉTICA: Manejo de las emociones en el trabajo En la última década han aumentado rápidamente nuestros conocimientos de las emociones de los empleados. Por ejemplo las compañías qu3 quieren crear lugares abiertos y cordiales para trabajar recurren a procesos de selección para descartar a los solicitantes que no son sociables ni entusiastas y capacitan a los empleados para que aprendan a sonreír y a mostrarse animados. Algunas organizaciones tratan incluso de producir entornos de trabajo “emocionalmente humanistas” mediante la conformación de las emociones que sienten los empleados en su trato diario con los clientes, la selección de los solicitantes con mucha inteligencia emocional, el control de la atmósfera emocional de equipos y grupos y otras prácticas de manejo de emociones. Una vez se mofaba Groucho Marx diciendo que “el secreto del éxito en el negocio del espectáculo es la honestidad y la sinceridad. Cuando uno aprende a fingirlas, ya la hizo”. En muchas organizaciones actuales de servicios se aplica el comentario de Groucho. Por ejemplo, en diversas compañías aseguradoras se capacita al personal de ventas por teléfono para despertar sentimientos positivos en los clientes, para que sea más fácil que contesten “si”. Se enseña a los empleados a evitar palabras con connotaciones negativas y a cambiarlas por otras que levanten el ánimo y fomenten la confianza, como “sin duda”, “tenga la seguridad”, “de inmediato” y “excelente”. Además, se enseña...

...Moral codes are reviewed from occasionally; however, they are of top priority for a number of causes in companies. Companies have to ensure they go after the top tier of moral principles in all of their actions. Moral principles are also significant with respect to business investigation. Throughout this paper, the discourse shall be lodged with regard to a case in which corrupt business analysis methods were executed by the company. My intent is to talk about this case and a range of main clauses concerning this particular case. Presently, in this peculiar case, some moral subjects are to be taken into reflection. In terms of immoral investigation performance, this particular company was certainly engrossed in immoral research performance. The company was a pharmaceutical corporation that worked together with a professor who beforehand supplied the required research linked to the medication of flu (Dominick & Wimmer, 2010). Throughout the course of their accord, he was inquired to remain the research information secret and not to unveil the same to any other party. The corporation which was working on his investigation work was planning to hold back the study work. Consequently, it was judged to be immoral on the side of the pharmaceutical corporation. The pharmaceutical corporation desired to make sure that it collected a high bulk of earnings, in spite of whether the investigation work was complete at the price of collective interests. The upset shareholding groups...

...Células Madre Embrionarias La vida comienza desde el momento en que el espermatozoide se une con el óvulo. Por lo que el problema recae en que tras la obtención de células madres embrionarias, esta produce que muchos embriones sean sacrificados. Entonces seria una acción injustificable, ya que estarían matando o destruyendo vidas humanas. Pero hay puntos en contra, acerca de que no está claro que la vida de una persona inicie desde el momento de la fecundación. Por lo que muchos piensan que la vida de un individuo inicia a partir de la introducción del embrión, que es cuando ya se considera un ser humano, según doctores. Viéndolo moralmente esta mal, ya que estas destruyendo un embrión humano, no por el hecho de ayudar a otros se puede justificar el matar o destruir una vida humana en progreso. Y por la pregunta desde cuando inicia la vida humana, puedo decir que al entrar el espermatozoide se da pie al comienzo de una vida humana, ya que entre el óvulo y el espermatozoide forman uno solo, que va en desarrollo. No se necesita que pase cierto tiempo para considerarlo un individuo, al momento de la unión, es el inicio de la vida. Además que tras años de estudio no ha habido grandes avances en este sector, por lo que deberían buscar caminos alternativos para dichos problemas. Últimamente se han logrado hallazgos en nuevos métodos que eliminarían el problema ético hacia la destrucción de embriones, tal es el caso de células madre adultas que pueden generar grandes esperanzas...

...not universal since they only represent the view point of a few, the minority, majority or imposition of a dictator (Baghramian, 2004). When conceptualized within the context of morality it impinges on the framework that truth is applicable only as it pertains to specific guidelines and adaptations. Hence, if morality then becomes as issue in determining truth; it is sieving intentions to decipher purity and whether they are based on justice or outcomes that are beneficial to all. Therefore, this section of my presentation will focus on Lenn Goodman’s (2010) ‘Some Moral Minima:’ A Perspective. Also, a discussion on whether the conceptual framework advanced by this author challenges relativism will be embraced as well as a personal analysis of the themes. Lenn Goodman- ‘Some Moral Minima:’ A Perspective Lenn Goodman (2010) as any social scientist has to justify the morals of society. To say otherwise is to be deemed anti- social and immoral from the point of view of the ruling politic. Hence, his views of ‘some things are wrong’ well deserve agreement, especially, when it appears to be hurting the individual making the judgment (Goodman,...

...We all know when we have a good supervisor, but it can be quite difficult to actually state what makes a good supervisor good. Does it have to do with their personality, their insight, intelligence, or their personal beliefs, morals and values? Is it a mix of all these things, and do certain characteristics apply more than others? The first thing we should appreciate is that there are a huge amount of traits that need to be considered. Over the duration of the paper I will be focusing on a few select traits which I believe to be the most important in regards to being a good supervisor. Firstly, a good supervisor must be a good coach. For a supervisor to be successful, it is imperative that they have the qualities that we attribute to any normal coach. This is because a coach knows how important it is to coach their team, or in this case, employees. Successful coaching means working together with your employees to create and modify action plans and objectives. Supervisors must know how to delegate tasks between individuals, and give all the support and guidance that may be needed. On the topic of individuals, a good supervisor must understand that everybody is different, and to be mindful of this fact when dealing with his or her team members. Secondly, a good supervisor must have a positive outlook and be a positive thinker. He or she will think how problems can be solved, while maintaining an air of friendliness, so that they remain approachable, and their employees aren’t...

...Philosophy 484 Professor Neiman 3/22/12 “Selling Starbucks in the Forbidden City” Ever since the Starbucks retail outlet has opened in the “Forbidden City” of Beijing, China, there has been a huge controversy over whether this store deserves to be in this sacred area of China’s history. I believe that Starbucks has a moral obligation to operate a retail store in the “Forbidden City.” The first objection from some Chinese citizens is that Starbucks is highly considered an American brand, and that American commerce is destroying Chinese culture that they claim goes back 5000 years. In some cases, people may believe that the Chinese have the cultural right to maintain their culture in places of great history, which would definitely apply to the Forbidden city Museum. This claim against Starbucks contradicts this statement somewhat since there are already thousands of stores in the museum. If the Chinese would have wanted to keep the Forbidden City sacred, you would think that they would have not allowed any stores in the area to keep it original so everyone could see the real history behind the place. Some may counter by saying that Chinese stores should only be allowed simply because it is already part of the Chinese Culture. In the case, it states that there are shops that sell American products, such as coke, cookies, and other merchandise. Wouldn’t this be considered American products and upset some Chinese citizens since it is considered American and not part...

...fue el efecto de la cultura organizacional en el caso Enron? En la medida en la que se adopta una cultura organizacional agresiva, en la que se fomenta la innovación y el crecimiento a base de la toma de riesgos, se debe tener muy en cuenta que el mensaje que se transmite a los empleados está acorde con las políticas , valores y códigos de ética de la organización. Cuando una empresa invita de manera continua a sobrepasar los límites para continuar creciendo y obtener dinero, como fue el caso Enron, esto puede llevar a sus empleados a cruzar la línea que separa la ambición de la moral. Esta situación se agrava aún más cuando son los líderes de la empresa quienes adoptan esta conducta. Los líderes de Enron transmitían un mensaje de crecimiento y de llegar más allá a cuesta de sobrepasar cualquier límite, incluyendo acciones y comportamientos desviados de lo ético y lo moral. Dentro de la cultura organizacional de Enron se pueden destacar varios factores que pudieran haber influido en el fracaso de la misma. La ambigüedad es uno de los factores determinantes. Puede que los empleados estuvieran confundidos acerca de lo que se espera de ellos, considerando que las políticas establecidas estaban en conflicto con las prácticas actuales dentro de la organización. Las políticas establecidas, incluyendo el código de...

Mateo 5:16. Sinopsis del capitulo: En la lección de la semana pasada, descubrimos el potencial del amor mutuo y la sumisión, los cuales son el modelo de la trinidad de Dios. Esta semana descubriremos que un matrimonio basado en la fe requiere de un esposo y una esposa que desarrollen los rasgos del carácter de los cuales la biblia hace ejemplo. Estos rasgos de carácter que se requieren representan el sexto de los 6 principios que, si se aplican por medio de la fe, producirán una relación de fe más allá de lo natural. Tarea del día uno: Lea las 6 notas de esta semana y responda las siguientes preguntas: 1. De las notas, ¿cuales conceptos se encontró particularmente interesantes? ¿Por qué? 2. Explique como santanas a distorsionado las intensiones de Dios de amor y sumisión en su matrimonio. ¿Como su matrimonio a sido afectado por el engaño de Satanás? 3. Explique ¿Como la perspectiva de amor y sumisión de Dios son diferentes a las del mundo (influenciado por santanas)? 4. ¿Cómo planeas abordar el plan de amor y sumisión de manera diferente en el futuro? 5. Cristo apartándose de sus derechos se encomendó a Dios mientras estaba de camino a la cruz. ¿Que garantías tenia Jesús de ese ultimo...

...estrictamente este doctrina ya que la imaginación es muy importante tal y como defienden Diamond . Para la filosofía analítica la mejor forma de convencer a alguien es persuadirlo mediante la argumentación y esto hace que dos tipos diferentes de persuasión se creen: los racionalmente convencidos (el fin de la auténtica filosofía) y estar meramente convencidos. Diamond para explicar que la argumentación no es la forma idónea para convencer a la gente utiliza un argumento relacionado con el aborto. Para Diamond, cuando una persona argumenta a favor o en contra de este tema esto crea que los oyentes rechacen este argumento ya que lo ven como una clara ofensa. Y siguiendo su linea de filosofía Diamond defiende el uso de la imaginación y la moral para convencer a la gente y no la argumentación. Iris Murdoch con su teoría de la textura defiende la sensibilización de la filosofía ya que esta no puede ser vista como una ciencia mas ya que esta necesita de los sentimientos e imaginación. La filosofía es una sabiduría tal y como dice la definición etimológica de filosofía: amor a la sabiduría. Estoy de acuerdo con la presencia de los sentimientos en la filosofía,...
