...Pros & Cons of the Different Legal Structures There are three main types of firms, which include: sole proprietorship, partnerships, and corporations. When starting a business, it is very important to weigh out the pros and cons of each type to decide which type would be best suit your particular business. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered before deciding which would be best moving forward. I will discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and differences of each type of firm. First, there is a sole proprietorship. “A sole proprietorship is someone who owns an unincorporated business by himself or herself.” (IRS.gov, 2016) This type of firm is the easiest to set up and the simplest of the business structures. It is by far the most popular because of its advantages. Some of these advantages include: ease of formation, least amount of record keeping, minimal regularly controls, and advantage of double taxation. With these great advantages comes a huge disadvantage, which is, there is no legal distinction between the assets and liabilities of the business and those of its owner. In a sole proprietorship you may reap all the reward from financial benefits, but you are solely responsible for all business risks involved. In a sole proprietorship if the business fails then that one individual stands to lose all personal assets and other possessions. The second type of business is a partnership. “A partnership is a single business where two...

Autism was something I never heard of until the year of 2010 when I had a student in my classroom named Tony of which was two years old at the time. Tony entered my class on Halloween 2010 and I noticed when his mom bought him in I fixed him a plate because we had a party. On his plate was the usually sweets that children love like chips, cookies, cupcakes, and I gave him a juice, and all he did was look at the plate and take things off one by one so I was shocked because I thought every child loves junk food. I was thinking to myself that is strange but at the same time I was thinking maybe he just ate and is not hung The following week that Tony got enrolled I noticed other things that he was doing that was unusual so I talked to one of the baby-net therapists that comes to the facility and I asked her a couple of questions and her answer to me was she cannot give me definite answer until she evaluates him. I talked to his mom and told her the things that he was doing and she said he was just spoiled but we had her permission to let him see the therapists. The therapists finally diagnosed him at the age of 3 with autism and I was shocked because that was my first time ever hearing about this and the therapist said the earlier...

...Why is Macbeth is still relevant in today’s society? Is it not time we found something new? It’s been over 400 years, keep up people. Shakespeare’s plays are still relevant today; they explore the humanity in people. Macbeth was a greedy, jealous and unhappy with his life. He was extremely susceptible to pressure. Shakespeare managed to accurately depict many truths about the human race; many in modern society fit the profile of Macbeth in one sense or another, partly because human nature hasn’t changed a great deal since the Elizabethan era. Themes such as guilt, shame, anxiety, paranoia, trauma, mental illness, psychological vulnerability, envy, inferiority, manipulation, greed and murder are still relevant in the 21st century. Macbeth desired and in the end achieved the title of King of Scotland, but not without sacrifice. Not only did Macbeth desire the king’s title, but his wife Lady Macbeth also wished to be queen, mounting pressure upon him drove him towards darkness. Macbeth became exceedingly jealous towards Duncan. In Macbeth’s eyes he had everything he wanted including happiness. Duncan was the king Macbeth desired to be. With Duncan in the way Macbeth’s desires were unattainable. Macbeth was ambitious, but with the influences of the three witches and his power hungry wife he became greedy and thoughtless. Realising his dreams could easily become reality, with encouragement from his wife, Macbeth plotted against King Duncan, ruthlessly murdering him whilst in lay...

...Using a case study about Tonya who is an eight year old child in the first grade who is having some difficulties with school and with her peer relationships I will explain how her development is affected because of environmental and biological factors and present information about developmental theories that I would use in assisting Tonya. Due to Tonya being retained in Kindergarten she is older and bigger than her peers, she was also observed bulling the other children and stealing food from them. At eight years old and in middle childhood Tonya’s physical growth is steady at this time but she is still undergoing some physical changes such as losing her primary teeth and developing muscle strength and greater coordination (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2010) middle childhood is also a time for increased cognitive ability that allows children to remember more, have more focused attention, and they are able to express themselves with more clarity (Nuttal, 1991). Although she is in the middle childhood stage her peers are still in early childhood so there are obviously differences in physical, social-emotional, and cognitive development which could account for some of Tonya’s social behaviors in bullying and taken advantage of her classmates. Tonya’s development according to Erikson is at a point where she should be mastering new skills and expect recognition for her accomplishments gaining a sense of industry for doing well but Tonya has had academic difficulties...

...In some form, all of humanity is in search of the meaning to life and creating purpose in the world. One of the main goals of anthropology as a discipline is to understand the way people create meaning though practice. Through the study of ritual, kinship, and linguistics, and other meaning creating structures one can understand the values of a culture. This leaves no exception to religious practice. Tonya Luhrrmann embarks on a provocative study of Christianity and the reasons why belief in God is plausible. This psychoanalytic ethnography maps out the Christian faith in a way that at first appears to discredit its authenticity. However; her writing reveals the commonality of all of humanity’s search for meaning beyond ourselves. Christianity...

...about how a couple named Brian and Tonya come to a conclusion on how to have their everyday lunch. The couple were at constant argument with each other about how to save money for a vacation to Rome. However, those discussions would always involve their packing of lunches. In this case they average out that they require 40 lunches each month. They also estimated that having lunch outside would cost them around 15$ each whereas lunch packed from home averaged to about $5 each. By this estimation they also concluded that that the latter was more nutritious and healthy when compared to outside lunches. By having home made lunches they would save $4800 a year which is enough for a 10 day trip to Rome. They talk to each other to make a serious commitment towards packing lunch from home. Brian employs the concept of "Inventory control and reorder point" for their lunch packing from home which he had learned in his class. This concept would help them on how much inventory they have to keep to avoid running out. In between their conversation Tonya reminds Brian that packing lunch from home is not always possible as sometimes they might be having some lunch meetings and at times for a change they might want to have lunch outside. Taking this into consideration Brian concludes that they can have have a lunch meeting once in a week however, this would effect their planned out savings amount as it would come down to $3840. Tonya says that even $3840 would be sufficient...

She stays neutral because Tonya is a friend. • I believe she used logic as well as moral judgment. She used logic with how she interacted with Tonya and moral judgment when she reported it. • She used logic with Tonya by not directly opposing her actions. She used moral judgment by reporting Tonya to HR. Part B • My issue concerned my brother. My brother is mulatto and many people would make fun of him and call him names because he is African American. People would make fun of him and for a long time I would just remove myself from the situation. I decided that it was my job to stand up for my brother. • I would suspend judgment before taking a position. I clearly didn't know what to do in fear of the outcome. Even when I would stand up for him, I had to decide if it was my place and if it would make a difference. • I did use logic when I was determining if I should just let him handle it or I should help him stand up for himself. Most of the judgment eventually ended up being of moral value. It is not right in any shape or form to make fun of others regardless. • I would resolve the conflict for a while. For my final in debate class in high school, I chose to talk about the actions of others reflecting negatively in others lives, based on my experience...
