...EST1 - Task 310.2.1-05 The attitude of Company Q towards social responsibility seems to be decreased by the pressure of profit loss. They closed 2 stores recently due to the fact that they were continually losing money. This not only creates a problem for the employee's that worked there, but also for the customers who frequented the stores. By improving their ethical makeup they could not only improve their profits, but it would also help the relationship with their employees and customers grow. There are a few things that Company Q could work on and change to create a better enviroment for the community. They decided to close 2 different stores in higher crime areas stating they were losing money. Instead of closing the stores they could implement new procedures to increase security. Installing cameras or hiring security guards to stand outside the store or patrol inside would show their customers that they are concerned for the safety of those shopping there. Company Q could also could work with other business owners and city government to makes changes to the area surrounding the store. These changes could include a well lit store front, friendly employees, and a well organized store. Company Q would have to make enough improvements to show their customers they care. This could have increased sales and possibly saved the company from closing the two stores. When asked about donating their day old food to the local food bank, the company refused and chose...

...September, 05, 2014 Oscar Diaz Policy issues paper In this paper, I hope to analyze and figure out what causes individuals to commit crimes and the many theories in criminology. Social process theory is one such assumption and argues that interaction and interacting with other individuals certain criminal behaviors are learned. There are four types of social process theories including: social learning theory, social control theory, social labeling theory, and dramaturgical perspective. The developmental process and background of social process theories will be discussed in this paper. Also the important parts of this theory to criminology and the pro’s and con’s that are a part of the theory. Social learning theory is when consequences are observed of others and thinking about copying a behavior is called social learning theory. To put in a nut shell, this thoery explains that human beings are educated by observing others. Identifying certain patterns in behavior of the criminal kind and the values that went along with them theorists such as Edwin Sutherland, Robert Burgess, and Ronald L. Akers developed in the 1930’sLearning theory. Other well known theorists Albert Bandura also helped in this theory and developed Recipricol determinism that emphasizes how a person’s behavior, enviroment and their personal qualities all intertwined with each other.

...by an American literary critic, Frederick Jamerson. Globalization is the process in which a company or organization expands internationally. Globalization is not new, for thousands of years, people and corporations have been buying and selling to each other in lands at great distances. Likewise, for centuries, people and corporations have invested in enterprises in other countries. This current wave of globalization has been driven by policies that have opened economies domestically and internationally. According to Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy, since the Second World War, and especially during the past two decades, many governments have adopted free-market economic systems, vastly increasing their own productive potential and creating new opportunities for international trade and investment. Governments also have negotiated dramatic reductions in barriers to commerce and have established international agreements to promote trade in goods, services, and investment. Taking advantage of new opportunities in foreign markets, corporations have built foreign factories and established production and marketing arrangements with foreign partners. A defining feature of globalization, therefore, is an international industrial and financial business structure. This process has an influence on many aspects of life. This includes but not limited to culture, education, health, trade, environment, technology and investment. CULTURE Culture plays a significant part of globalization...

...of credit their main purpose. A Bank not only accepts money or deposits but also lends money and creates its own credit, Crow her has defined a bank as “a dealer in debts-his own and of other people”. Sawyer’s states, “We can define a bank as n institution whose debts (bank deposits) are widely accepted in settlement of other peoples debts to each other”. The class of financial institutions called commercial banks has one important characteristic that distinguishes it from all other kinds of financial institutions. This important distinction is that t alone can hold deposits to be drawn upon by check’ it has the power to create and destroy money, within limits, through the use of loans and demand deposits. Commercial banks lend money by creating demand deposits and retire loans by canceling demand deposits. The functions of modern commercial banks are numerous and overlap with those of such other financial institutions. They are most sharply differentiated form other financial institutions by the character of their principal liabilities. Only commercial banks hold demand deposits, which constitute the most important component of money supply, thus banks are unique among non governmental institutions as administrators of demand deposits and as money issuers. They influence not only size of the money stocks but also the allocation of funds and thus the direction and use of resources within the system as a whole. 1.1 Historical Development of Banking Business in Bangladesh For...
