welfare of the residents in the area. At the same time the oil companies can positively affect the economy and the United State’s welfare. In comparing both sides of the argument I will look at the past and current oil companies to determine if they acted morally in their everyday business practice. At this post-BP disaster era, the United States is questioning whether we should continue to drill and expand our drilling. I will utilize the consequentialist theory to determine what would be the best

role in how the world works. This is especially true in the world of business. These influences govern how everyday decisions are made, and even how employees interact with one another. In businesses both large and small, the impact of power and control depends completely on the individuals using it and what their long-term goals are.

From the first moment I walked into this Positive Psychology class, I knew it would change something about me, for good. As a natural optimist, I was already expecting to have something good come out of this course that would affect my life, broaden my perspective, and somehow change something about my behavior.

While all of this is true, most people do not realize how their agriculture runs deep in many Mexicans’ lives. Agriculture, in the eyes of most Americans, would probably be a rough man on a tractor in a field growing corn, but agriculture is so much more than that.
