Harnessing green energy Introduction Climatic changes, most notably global warming, has been a serious issue affecting our planets, keeping the scientists and all stakeholders on their toes to find a solution to this problem. In a documentary movie “ice on fire,” Leonardo di Caprio brings to attention how serious matters on climatic changes should be taken, offering realistic proposals that can solve or reverse climatic changes back to normal. There is a comprehensive data collection in the movie showing ice melts in northern ice sheets and mountains, wind effects in the Orkney Islands, and increment of the level of carbon and methane in the atmosphere, causing a subsequent increase of toxicity in the environment. Recommendation on the solution is offered, such as the adoption of renewable sources of energies such as the use of wind turbines, solar, and tidal power. Also, scientists and entrepreneurs discussed methods of carbon sequestration in the atmosphere. Capitalism has, however, acted as a significant threat to the environment, but the adoption of green energy will go a long way to remedy this. Global warming Global…

Case Study 3 Answer 1 Data management is highly recognized as the implementation of policies as well as procedures that, to a great extent, put a company in control of its business data irrespective of where it is located (Huberman, & Miles, 1994). As far as our case study is concerned, it becomes of great significance to note that data management was so problematic at Automotive Resource International (ARI). This was because of various reasons. For instance, the huge volume of data that was collected, or in other words, gathered by ARI on licensing, maintenance, including compliance, appeared to be horrible to be appropriately managed. Additionally, the organization had only six call centers in place, and all of them were located in North America. This made it tough to get things moving at the company. Every time the users would request data, it would take about five days before the report and information were generated, something that ended up slowing things up. It is, therefore, proper to argue that the lack of an effective system of handling data made it…

A Transition: Actions, Practices, and Big-Picture Beliefs about the Way Things Are The precise, clear, and right-on-the-spot writing style of this chapter, to a great extent, inspires me. I am impressed by the argument that Christians beliefs play a tremendous role when it comes to the transformation of their moral lives (Mattison III, 2008, p.201). However, it is imperative to remember that the relationship between religion and morality has, for a long time, been hotly discussed. As far as this is concerned, it is worth noting that the main question has always been, ‘Does religion make people more moral?’ The chapter helps me to realize that the basic tenets of Christian belief highly shape how sex is carried out virtuously. As it is always said, ‘God is love.’ To all Christians, God, the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are united as one. Since creation, human beings have been told various principles that enable them to show love towards one another. It is to say that love happens to be the origin as well as the destiny of creation. I…

Apple’s slowed down iphone scandal and its ethical implications based on the theory of utilitarianism and Carrol’s pyramid of CSR Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) provides a platform for companies and business entities to develop a sense of corporate citizenship by embracing sustainable development practices for societal benefit. Research has shown that employees and customers prioritize working for and consuming goods from companies that support issues that matter to them—having that in mind, corporations whose interests are founded on philosophies of brand promotion and company image improvement have devised means to optimize profits while minimizing costs involved in running CSR projects, while deceiving its publics on real intentions and outcomes. This section reflects on Apple’s slowed down iphone scandal and its ethical implications based on the theory of utilitarianism and Carrol’s pyramid of CSR. Economic Responsibilities Primarily, a business can only benefit a society it serves in the long term if it can survive and make profits. Profits margin motivate business owners who, in turn, will incorporate practical managerial skills to keep the company afloat, and hence maintaining its economic responsibility…

Chapter 9: The Virtue of Fortitude and the Unity of the Virtues Based on this chapter, I come to the observation that the ability to face difficulties well is crucial to a good life. In the last couple of years, I have noticed that difficulties in life come in gangs to attack us, and this occurs when we are least prepared for them. Even though overcoming obstacles in life seems to be hard, standing firm to face them is significant. Life is full of personal difficulties or, in other words, challenges, and it becomes of great significance for people to summon the courage to face them. This illustrates the importance of having a proper understanding of the virtue of fortitude. In this case, fortitude is described as the virtue that allows an individual to face life challenges well (Mattison III, 2008, p.181). It is being brave in facing life difficulties and not being swayed by trials. In my opinion, a lack of fortitude has made a lot of men and women across the globe to remain dormant and quiet in…

Bouju’s photograph Bouju’s photograph serves as an artistic response to war because it acknowledged the undying love between a father and son during the war in Iraq. The aspect of love is shown by the way the father embraces his son even when he cannot see him with the cover upon his head and by trying to protect his son from the scorching sun. From the photograph, the detention area appears to be covered with sand, and the weather shows that it is a hot day. The weather is further supported by the son’s bare feet after he had removed his shoes, which are placed near him. The father is in open shoes, which are functional in providing aeration in this kind of weather. The father also tries to protect his son from the heat by covering his forehead with his hand and protecting him with his torso and embracing him with his other hand. In times of war, families are often broken apart; however, some somethings will never change like the love between them. It did not matter that…

goals of management One of the main goals of management is to develop engagement mechanisms, and this, among other measures, are critical for the tourism sector in attracting top talent millennial employees. Considering the unique characteristics of millennials, administrators who have established successful older generation workers retention techniques in the past would have to put those approaches into the organizational archives. Developing millennial engagement strategies entails a whole innovative methodology-and strategic thinking. The focus on employee engagement and generational differences is critical as there is a significant difference between millennials and the old generation. Given that the social traits of generations vary, it is plausible in the beginning that employees get satisfaction at both the mind and body levels at their respective work stations, thus increasing the chances to work effectively with millennials. In addition, employees must be educated and informed of the importance of having an in-depth understanding of social interactions before judging their abilities to tolerate and sustain prolonged engagement. Having such wisdom would help build the profile of millennials who might otherwise not feel comfortable working in…

 how both DHS and FEMA complement each other With the continued increase in the security threats globally and more pressure been put on the United States Homeland security to provide and ensure safety for not only Americans citizens but also nations allied to the U.S, another burden is also loaming with the DHS. Divergent opinions have, over the years, aroused as to whether FEMA should split from the homeland security department. Before anyone even considers proposing FEMA to be removed from DHS, one should first understand that there are both positive and negative implications of this action. That doesn’t mean that letting federal emergency management agencies under DHS will seamlessly provide the much-needed relief that DHS expected to provide. However, understanding how the two institutions work is very critical in this discussion. Since this is likely to enumerate how both DHS and FEMA complement each other, something which is very crucial in the collaboration to avert national and domestic security threats and disasters before they occur. Equally understanding the challenges both institutions are facing accurately, will inform on the decision…
