...Abstract Norma Rae is a true story set in a Southern mill-town in the summer of 1978. Norma Rae and the mill workers were victimized by the mill owners - low, unfair wages, and poor health conditions from the work in the textile mill. During this time Norma was fearful for her family's health and becomes aware of a labor organizer trying to bring the union to the mill. Norma decides to join forces with the union organizer, Reuben Warshosky. Management saw her as a threat and ordered her out of the mill, but not before she inspired the mill workers. It is greatt leadership that finally brings the mill workers together and they vote in and start a branch of the Textile Workers Union of America.

...Norma Rae Labor Unions are an essential part of the work environment these days. Many companies and corporations deal with unions to better understand the employees wants and needs. In earlier years, unions were not as prevalent and popular with employers. Employees were scared to go rise up against the employer. As people became more aware of the positive affects on joining a labor union, many individuals bought into the union idea. The movie “Norma Rae” provides great examples to prove the facts issued on the AFL-CIO website. One of the main problems illustrated in the movie “Norma Rae” was the working conditions. The working conditions for Norma Rae and her coworkers at the textile factory were brutal. One of the characteristics I noticed about the working condition were the break rooms. The break rooms in the movie should be considered a closet space. The working conditions were also very dangerous and loud. During one of the opening scenes, Norma Rae’s mother loses her hearing because of the lack of protection from the employer (Ritt (Director), 1979, Norma Rae). The employers of Norma did not care about her and the other’s well-being during working hours. The employer only cared about productivity and numbers. The workers and Norma had very little breaks during the work day which is a horrible way to work. Many of the workers during the movie looked very run-down and overworked (Ritt (Director), 1979, Norma Rae). According to the AFL-CIO website, one of the main reasons...

...por pagar por su valor actual. La regla del párrafo anterior no es aplicable a las mejoras hechas después de la citación judicial sino cuando se trata de las necesarias. CONCEPTO Y ANÁLISIS CONCEPTO DE NORMA JURÍDICA Definición Existen varias posibles definiciones de la norma jurídica, según las variables que se decida utilizar. Para introducirnos a su estudio, preferimos una de carácter lógico- jurídico y, en este estudio, diremos que la norma jurídica es un mandato de que cierto supuesto debe seguir lógico-jurídicamente una consecuencia, estando respaldado por la fuerza del Estado para caso de su eventual incumplimiento. La norma jurídica asume así la forma de una proposición implicativa cuya esquematización sería la siguiente: “S” Supuesto de hecho; “C” Consecuencia jurídica (Si Supuesto de hecho, entonces Consecuencia jurídica) En esta definición, la norma jurídica tiene tres elemento que conforman su estructura interna: el supuesto (S) que es aquella hipótesis que, de ocurrir desencadena la consecuencia; la consecuencia (C) que es el efecto atribuido por el Derecho a la verificación del supuesto en la realidad; y, el nexo lógico-jurídico ( ) que es el elemento lógico vinculante entre el supuesto y la consecuencia. Adicionalmente, esta definición de norma jurídica supone que el Estado comprometes u fuerza detrás de cada una de ellas, a fin de garantizar que, en caso de incumplimiento, sus organismos y recursos la harán cumplir. Este elemento permite diferenciar...

...her self-denial of the passing of her fame, Norma Desmond had also become rather sexual-transgressive. Some male traits shown in Norma consist of her dominance - she demands over Max, financial independence - owns factories which constantly makes profits and her assertive nature - she fearlessly confronts her passion for Joe. The way Norma is ridiculously insane to a degree of dark humour brings sympathy, entertainment and a corrupted depiction of celebrity to audiences. Her dramatic movements, superficial appearances and script-alike dialogues reveal this. This is an illustration the self-possessiveness of celebrities as a result of the illusions of fame. Joe Gillis, is a laconic character who interacts with Norma in a reciprocally dependent relationship. Without Gillis, Norma feels lifeless, loveless and powerless, she depends on him emotionally, Max, who is entirely devoted to Norma. He accepts reality however chooses to conform to Norma's insane world of delusions and even supports her - "Madame is the greatest star of them all." Norma is repeatedly filmed as a silhouette, which gives a feeling of eeriness as well as depicting perhaps the notion that Norma Desmond's fame is merely a silhouette, a shadow, an illusion. The angles in Sunset Boulevard positioned the audience to see Norma as an alienated character time and again filmed from a lower-angle view, with her standing on the top of a staircase. This alienation of Norma causes the audience to see celebrities as people...

...Nicole Kalgren Mrs. Candler Labor management (20919) Fall semester 2013 Norma Rae . Norma Rae Norma Rae is based on life story of Crystal Sutton and her connection with Ruben Warshovsky and the organization of the textile workers at the J.P. Stevens Company in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina (Labor Films). The movie was a realistic depiction of the sad, immoral, and domineering working conditions that existed in the looming life of mass production workers, and one woman’s struggle to overcome and progress the labor relation problems at a textile mill during the 1970's. The textile workers were unsatisfied with many aspects of their capitalistic working environment. They fought to form a union so that they could change the unwelcome characteristics to better meet their needs. Political, environmental, and cultural processes all played a part in the workers struggle to form an effective union. Norma Rae, a loom operator in the weaving room is an outspoken individual and is very out spoken about her poor working conditions such as excessive noise, long hours with short breaks, physical stress from standing for long periods and abnormally high temperatures in the work areas. Added to all this is managements apathy for the working conditions, as seen when her mother looses her hearing temporarily with little or no sentiment from the company doctor, who knows this is a common problem for the workers. With this setting, the film progresses through most of the stages for...

...Chapter 4 – International Accounting Culture Culture is a broad concept that would be expected to impact on legal system, tax system, the way businesses are formed and financed and so on. In recent decades, it has also been used to try to explain international differences in accounting systems. Violet(1983) argued that accounting is a ‘socio-technological activity’ that involved interaction between both human and non-human resources. Violet claims that accounting cannot be considered culture-free. Hofstede(1980) has defined culture as ‘the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one human group from another.’ Gray argues that the value systems of accountants will be derived and related to societal values, Cultural dimension of • Individualism, • Power Distance, • Uncertainty Avoidance and • Masculinity The values of accounting subculture will in turn, it is believed, impact on the development of the respective accounting systems at the national level. Therefore, at this point we can perhaps start to question whether accounting system can be developed in a “one-size-fits-all perspective – an approach which in some respects, the IASC appears to have adopted. Individualism versus Collectivism Individualism stands for a preference for a loosely knit social framework in society wherein individuals are supposed to take care of themselves and their immediate families only. Collectivism stands for a preference for a tightly...

...l in Zimbabwe Understanding the “new normal” in Zimbabwe The term ‘new normal’ is a term coined by Mohamed El-Erian, co-chief investment officer of Pimco, a California investment firm to refer to the situation the world found itself in after the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008-2010. From a global perspective, this phenomenon has led to mixed fortunes on the economies of different countries. Characteristic of the ‘new normal’ is the remarkable gaining of economic influence of the East due to the growing shift in global economic activity from West to East. Emerging Markets (Ems) proved to be a force to reckon with due to the increased flow of capital between the (Ems) themselves and to industrial countries as well as due to the increase in their stake or share in the global output from 40% in 1990 to 50% and expected to grow to 60% by 2035. The Global recession resulted in a deliberate greater government intervention in most countries to save respective banking systems from collapsing. As a result, there is a significant role to be played by governments in the economies of most countries which might have a negative impact of financial protectionism in some instances or lead to greater global financial coordination and transparency. In the ‘new normal’, the West has lost its ability to set the global agenda as seen in the transition from a G-7 to a Group of 20 which includes players in the Emerging Markets like Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Korea, Saudi Arabia...

...Definición de derecho internacional Derecho internacional del trabajo es una categoría del derecho internacional. Derecho internacional es el cuerpo de normas jurídicas que se aplican entre Estados soberanos y otras entidades tales como se han concedido personalidad internacional por Estados soberanos. En cuanto a legislación laboral, la entidad más importante es la Organización Internacional del Trabajo. Las reglas del derecho internacional son de un carácter normativo; es decir, que prescriben las normas de conducta. Diferencian, sin embargo, de las normas morales por ser, al menos potencialmente, diseñado para interpretación autorizada por una autoridad judicial independiente y por ser capaz de aplicación por la aplicación de sanciones externas. Estas características hacen las reglas legales. Los procesos de creación de la ley de derecho internacional son las formas en que las normas del derecho internacional surgido a la existencia; es decir, tratados, normas de derecho internacional consuetudinario y los principios generales del derecho reconocidos por las naciones civilizadas. Es el mérito del artículo 38 del estatuto de la Corte Internacional de justicia que esta exclusiva lista de procesos primarios de la creación de la ley ha recibido consentimiento casi universal.

...An idol is someone people look up to in need of inspiration. Norma Jeane was not only a famous sex symbol, but she was a human being with many of the same problems regular people face on a daily basis. She was the greatest female icon for many reasons. Starting off with a poor childhood, Norma Jeane, known by most people as Marilyn Monroe, inspired millions around the world when she overcame it all and chased her dreams. Growing up without any parental figures in her life, and having her mom pass away when she was only two (Steinem 62), it had to have made some kind of influence in Norma’s future. Her mother had never old her who her father was, therefore, she never found out. Phycology researches have stated that someone who has been neglected...

...discutiremos de que forma pudiera ser evitado o prevenido el comportamiento poco ético en los negocios. Comenzaremos brevemente por dar una corta definición de lo que es el comportamiento ético. ¿Qué es la ética? Según Thomas Shanks, S.J., and Michael J. Meyer, la ética pueden ser dos cosas. La primera, la ética se puede referirse a normas como, entre pudiera ser bueno y o lo que pudiera ser malo en base al comportamiento moral en donde se prescriben, que las personas deberían comportarse en diferentes situaciones. Normalmente en base a los términos de derechos, obligaciones, beneficios para la sociedad, la justicia, o virtudes específicas, La ética tiene normas que imponen las obligaciones razonables para que se abstengan de la violación, el robo, el asesinato, asalto, difamación y fraude. Las normas éticas también incluyen los que ordenan las virtudes de la honestidad, la compasión y la lealtad. Y, las normas éticas incluyen normas relativas a los derechos, como el derecho a la vida, el derecho a la libertad de una lesión, y el derecho a la privacidad. (Thomas Shanks, S.J., and Michael J. Meyer 2010) Estas normas son las normas adecuadas de ética, ya que se apoyan en razones consistentes y bien fundamentadas. La ética también estudia el...

...respuesta Mi posición se inclina sobre sobre Rodolfo Von Inhering pues comparto que la posesión por sí misma es un derecho. Personalmente considero que más que un ejercicio de hecho sobre el cual adquiero una serie de beneficios y posesión sobre la propiedad, considero que es la norma jurídica –el derecho- la que legitimidad este derecho dando el respaldo y formalización que se necesita para interactuar en sociedad, recordando que esta –sociedad- tiene perse igualmente un marco jurídico establecido y que regula las relaciones existentes de sus ciudadanos. De no existir estos intereses jurídicamente protegidos todo seria una anarquía que generan caos en lo político y lo social, Todos dueños de todos y nadie dueños de nadie donde imperaría la ley de la selva donde el mas rudo es el que gobierno, se perpetua y sobrevive. Sin la noción positiva del derecho de la posesión seria una sociedad sin orden y sin rumbo, sin nada que regule las pertenencias y por ende la conducta humana de los demás sobre estas y sería difícil, dignificar y mantener nuestros preceptos y valores como lo son la justicia, igualdad, honestad. Comparto la visión de Rodolfo Von Inhering pues considerando el Derecho como Norma y Norma Pura tal como lo impone el pensamiento positivista kelseniano, es necesario para mantener el orden en una sociedad...
