It captures how the narrator is thinking in real time, and as a result, the narrator’s thoughts guide the style of the literature.

...which at the time counted for 17 percent of the company's net income, would n ever salvage their reputation from the damage. But to everyone's amazement, only two months af ter the tragic incident, Tylenol was on its way back on the market. This time reinforced wi th tamper-proof packaging and aided by a comprehensive media campaign. Only after a year Tyleno l's share of the opiate market, climbed back up to 30 percent after plummeting to a mere 7 percent fol lowing the infected tablets. Tylenol proceeded promptly in a constructive fashio n to the crisis. The reasoning behind such a prompt response is because of the company ’ s mission statement. The company ‘ s responsibilities are to the consumers and medical profe ssionals using its products, employees, the communities where its people work and live, and its stockhold ers. Hence, it was crucial to preserve the safety of the public to maintain the company's face. A product recall is the action of reclaiming and replacing damaged products. When a corporation aut horizes a recall, the company or manufacturer swallows the cost of replacing and f ixing defective products. Johnson & Johnson ’ s responsibility to its community proved to be its most ef ficient public relations tool after the recall. It was crucial to the brand ’ s survival....

...Abstract This paper discusses the underrepresentation of blacks in the accounting profession in light of the increasing demand for Certified Public Accountants (CPA). The paper ex- plores the various reasons why blacks are underrepresented in the accounting profession. Furthermore, the paper examines these reasons through the lens of race and ethnicity. The paper also synthesizes multiple sources regarding blacks’ underrepresentation in account- ing. Blacks are underrepresented in accounting because of internal and external factors linked to their ethnic identity. Many blacks feel that they do not belong to the accounting profession, and as a result, they rarely choose accounting as a career. Many CPA firms think that blacks are not capable of doing the job and delivering the superior results that clients expect. While the demand for new and diverse accounting talents is increasing in light of recent white-collar crimes committed by Bernie Madoff, Enron and WorldCom, blacks’ representation in the ac- counting field still remains low. Research has shown that blacks are under- represented in most American Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firms. There is much speculation as to why this is so. One reason might be that blacks have some personal qualities that cause them to enter the account- ing profession at a low rate. Some people might even wonder if society is still oppressive towards blacks years after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s. The reasons why blacks are underrepresented...

...Contingency Theory of Leadership Bus 210 February 13, 2015 Charles May Contingency Theory of Leadership Contingency Theory of Leadership Description of work envi-ronment The work environment I will describe is my last em-ployer. I was on the Project Management team for construction. Our goal was to build project timelines for builders and developers in a timely manner by following a timeline we provide depending on a number of variables. Our goal is to have the project complete by the time it was promised as well as provide great service. In the table below, categorize different leadership approaches that could be used in the work environment you have described. Provide different suggestions for each of the four approaches to leadership. Directive approach Supportive approach This approach is when a manager or leader gives his/her employees tasks and tells them exactly how to perform a task. I can see this approach being use-ful with departments such as Customer Service. This approach is usually seen in training classes. I feel this was an important part of me learning more about the company, how it operated, and how to navigate within the different systems. I have experienced this approach when I was first hired on to the company and was told what my responsibilities were as a Project Manager and how to navi-gate within our system. With the supportive approach, it is when a manager would give his/her subordi-nates the tools necessary...

...Also DNA is responsible for the gender of humans. James Watson wanted to become more famous and he wanted to do something that will help humanity, in 1960 he start writing his famous book “Molendor Biology of the Gene”. This book became one of the most popular book in biology at that time. In this book James Watson talks about how the DNA is a very complex structure and how there is a four bases that makes it up. Also one of the important things that James Watson belves is that if humans can understand what the DNA really is, that could solve a lot of mistrys around the world. James Watson didn’t wanted to take his research fearther so he was the first biologist to start an X-Ray image on the DNA. The X-Ray that James Watson did was the profe about his research. All in all, James Watson was the start of the revalion that changed siense for every, because without the DNA humun could been lost finding how the hummuan body is bulte and what make one person different than the other. One of james Watson favorit qouts about that is “If we could honestly promise young couples that we knew how to give them offspring with superior character, why should we assume they would decline? Common sense tells us that if scientists find ways to greatly improve human capabilities, there will no stopping the public from happily seizing them.” ...

...Lab oourses go virtual A Thomas F. Edgar University of Texas number of universities have main- tained a dedicated laboratory course as part of the process control sequence, but those numbers have been shrinking due to the high resource requirements of lab courses and the pressure to reduce the number of hours in the engineering curriculum. While some chemical engineering departments run a junior measurement lab and a senior unit-operations lab, many now operate only one lab in the senior year which may incorporate control-related experiments. Labo- ratory courses are evolving, and new directions are being examined at specific universities, combining elements of simulation and also dis- tance learning. In the chemical process industries, the high cost of pilot scale equipment and operating per- sonnel has led to greater reliance on computer- based simulations rather than traditional pilot- scale experiments. Consequently, today's engineers work more often from a control room or from behind a computer screen. Now, you LabView computer-interfaces of the VUOL give students an experience of controlling the equip- ment via the computer in addition to physically turning valves and checking temperatures. Another approach being employed involves the use of a computer connected to the Internet to allow students to carry out experimental studies in a remotely located physical laborato- ry. Permitting...

...shown that, by and large, members of the public are happy with the service they receive from their solicitors and value it highly. This is just one of the things that we learned from the research that we commissioned to assist us in drawing up our response to the govern-ment's consultation paper, In the Public Interest? The most impressive result was the overall satisfaction of clients with their solicitors. Some 84% of those questioned were satisfied with their solicitor and, in total, 53% of the interviewees were very satisfied. None-theless, dissatisfied customers were not negligible in number. Some 10% of those interviewed said they had not been happy with the services received. Clearly, there is no room for complacency, but I think the profes-sion can be pleased with the positive response, and one that is certainly significantly different from the sur-veys carried out by the RAC and Which? magazine. Perhaps unsurprisingly, people were most impressed by their solicitor's knowledge of the law -- 88% of the respondents said they were satisfied. Similarly, more than four out of five people said their solicitor offered good customer care, and that the service offered was convenient and offered at times that were suitable for them. By and large, most people would still prefer to see a solicitor in a dedicated office. This had been particularly...

...Royce Redira 12/10/13 HED 6 Russian Health Maintenance Heavy cigarette use, high alcohol intake, poor dietary intake, little attention to physical fitness, and crowded living conditions have been described. Environmental pollution and poor occupational safety are common and have contributed to the health problems of the population. The major health problems identified included various dental conditions requiring treatment, obesity, and the absence of basic health screening measures such as cholesterol testing, high blood pressure screening, Pap smears, and mammograms. The authors also identified a need for translators and for education regarding preventative self-care, such as breast self-examinations. The majority of Russian people belong to a church, even if they may in practice not be regular attendees. Of the total Russia-born population in Australia the major religions are: • Russian Orthodox (27.2%) • Jewish (19.5%) • Western Catholic (5.6%) • 19.3% stated ‘No religion’ Remember there can be a difference between nominating a particular religion to practicing that religion in ones’ everyday life (or whether all or some rituals/practices within that religion are observed). Equally, just because a person when young did not practice or observe their religion doesn’t mean as the person ages he/she might now wish to practice. Health is maintained by food they eat.
