Understanding Social, Environmental, and Economic Impacts of Sustainability   Abstract Volkswagen AG involves itself in the emission cheating scandal where for a long time, it produces cars where the automaker had defeat devices installed on its clean diesel engine models to pass the test of emission. When this was discovered in 2015, the cheating cars had produced emissions, which increased air pollution. The pollution posed the danger of the health problems of the citizens. This paper discusses in detail the Volkswagen deception, and it affects the company and corporate social responsibility. Introduction The deceptive move by the Volkswagen company to intentionally program (TDI) diesel engines, which activated their emissions controls only during laboratory tests, led to the emission of nitrogen 40 times more than the US required standards in real-world driving. The cheating cars have been driving all around the US while polluting the air without no one suspecting anything until 2015 when the researchers at West Virginia University discovered the automaker deception. The company had sold up to 11 million cars worldwide, with 600,000 sold to the US (Carroll…

The Renaissance to the Present. One of the greatest thinkers and innovators during the scientific revolution was Galileo Galilei. The Italian astronomy was a contributor and laid the foundation for most modern science and physics concepts. His experiments and belief system at the time led to a lot of discoveries and improvements in the scientific field. The scientific world attributes many developments to him. He was the discoverer of the moons of the planet Jupiter and also propounded that the surface of the moon was not flat as many had believed (Pisano, Raffaele and Paolo, 9). Instead, his extensive study of the skies with a telescope proved that the surface of the moon contained a lot of features, including mountains and craters. NASA acknowledged him when it sent its astronauts to Jupiter in the 1990s. Even though some people credit him for the creation of the telescope, it is not entirely true. He improved on them, but was not their novel creator. Galileo also put forward the principles of relativity. These state that the laws of physics remain constant in…

Promoting Reading Development Introduction Controversy exists among diverse researchers and educational platforms on the various ways in which the media specialists or rather the librarians ensure that they offer full support for literacy within a school. Alexander (2013), for example, asserts that the media specialists have, in a long time, been pioneers both in teaching information skills as well as assuming the role of technology integration, which presumably helps in problem-solving processes. At the same time, Lance (2014), on the other hand, explains that media specialists are often referred to invisible professionals who participate in all matters pertaining to literacy in schools by influencing various educational aspects such as technology, curriculum, and school resources. Lance further argues that specialist also performs other tasks such as the initiative to cut library budgets which eases school financial problems, and this, therefore, affects the literacy within a school indirectly. Therefore, in order to ensure support for literacy,  media specialist performs the following which are but not limited to; creating library space, getting involved in matters affecting the resources in schools, acting as a…

My family has been travelling for as long as I can remember. When asked about my best travel experience, so many occasions come into my mind.

Response to Kiara P.  You have an excellent analysis of the political concern that affect performance appraisal. As a result of these concerns, some employees feel that the process of performance appraisal is not fair. You have noted right that inconsistent rating is one of the most significant political concerns that affect employees during the appraisal process. The managers may vary the ratings of the workers to fit their explanation.  There is also the politics of similarity in the scores occurs where the employees are rated either average in the performance process. There is a politics of performance bias where an employee will be based bot on their actual performance but the perception of the managers.   Employees who are able to convince the managers that they are higher performer are likely to receive a higher rating than employees who do not speak much.  This is the case, especially when there is no clearly defined performance standard.   In this case, the managers are likely to assign the performance rating arbitrary.  You get more in this article http://ijmbr.srbiau.ac.ir/article_8748_c1864fd1c6da5d4c3cc4ea3984e58011.pdf.
