God & Human Nature and Ethical Egoism Religious faith has served as a moral campus in the history of humanity. It guides human beings in choosing the right way to go. The belief that there is a superpower which keeps watching over man’s actions on earth and that he will demands accountability compels man to stick to the morals set out by the group of people that subscribe to that faith. For instance, the principle of reciprocity where one should do t others what he expects them to do to them is standard across the faiths. Those who subscribe to such faith, therefore, find themselves obliged to be morally upright as far as this principle is concerned. In America, religious leaders were among those on the forefront in advocating for equality between the blacks and the whites. This was based on the religious teachings that all are equal before God. It, therefore, influenced peoples respect for human rights (“Religion and Morality (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy),” 2019). Almost all religions are founded on love. It is on this premise that people…

Consumer shift towards eco-friendly products and their effect on the economic growth analysis Abstract Our paper is focused on developing a platform to discuss the effect of consumer behavioral changes towards eco-friendly commodities and the impact on the production patterns and the overall economy. There have been commissions developed to assess the frameworks for monitoring the evolution of impacting environmental association with consumption trends. The established structures have been designed to give support to a wide variety of policies concerning the efficiency of resources, economic innovation, and growth of economies. The consumption impact on the environment is usually assessed using indicators such as the Consumption and Consumer mark, which complement each other. The Consumer mark is measured by effects on the environment, which are based on the real-life cycle utility assessment of goods bought and consumed for a year. These findings are in relevance to the results of tracked trends of consumed goods and services chosen to represent. Whereas perspective in the industries producing these commodities helps us in establishing our results, the products producing emissions and using resources, consumption-based…

CIVIL SOCIETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT TEACHING MATERIALS Introduction Concept and characteristics of civil society organizations Civil society is the “aggregate of non-governmental organizations and institutions that manifest interests and will of citizens. It can also be defined as is the arena of uncoerced collective action around shared interests, purposes and values.

The term “civil society” evokes many meanings in the modern era—a mediating realm between the individual and the state,…

 How robots are outpacing the demand for human resources Welcome to the word of robots from day to day we see headlines on a breakthrough in robotics. Is it and explanation of how human are almost ready for the jump on board? But every person in Europe is having access to robotics. Does it sound good or bad? Right from the giant food stores, Google and supply chain companies and other prominent global company’s robots are used to collect data and offer virtual human assistance. This is both of help and at the same time terrible to us! Funny enough, it is the consumer-facing bots that get me crazy ant times. Currently, in the market, we have Traditional robots as well as robots whose speed is unlimited. How do we utilize them in our industries we make a lot of programs achievable. One can argue that robots are protecting human from injuries and dangers in the workplace, they do work faster and in the most collaborative manner possible. But we should understand that these robots are making us lazy and…

Using microeconomic principles to gain an understanding of how firms and individuals make decisions Overview   The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper. Every day, millions of economic choices are made by people—from what brand of soap to buy to how many employees to hire for a factory. Microeconomics provides us with the tools, models, and concepts to better understand individual choices in the marketplace and how resource allocation is determined at the micro level. The decisions made by individuals and households impact the market and influence decisions made by firms. Firms use these tools as a way to determine pricing, output, and profit maximization. As a student of economics, you can use the microeconomic principles to gain an understanding of how firms and individuals make decisions and also to make your own conclusions about actions we can take to improve those decisions.   Now, imagine that you are a consultant to the firm of your choice. The firm has hired you to advise it on how it can ensure its future success as…

Economic inequality of the badli workers of Bangladesh: Contested entitlements and a ‘perpetually temporary’ life-world   Introduction   Our lives are like floating rafts on the flowing water, we move from one corner to another corner. (Rani, female badli workers’ leader in Badli Workers Committee)   In this article, we present an empirical account of management and organizational prac-tices that constitute and perpetuate a state of economic inequality for the badli workers of the state-owned jute mills (SOJMs) of the postcolonial state of Bangladesh and how this leads to their social marginalization. We do this through direct engagement with the badli workers’ own accounts and interpretations of their life-world and conditions that they perceive as inequitable, both unjust in themselves and unequal in relation to other members of the mill community of apparently similar economic value to management and the organization.   Processes of industrialization, with their related organizational structures and wage employment relations, were first established in Bangladesh during the British colo-nial era. Historical accounts of the British Indian Empire tell that the jute industry constituted one of the…

Demand and Supply There is a large earthquake in a city. Some roads are destroyed, and people need more bottled water because pipelines are damaged. Use a supply and demand curve to show what happens to the price and quantity of bottled water in this city. Show with graph and explain The damage of pipelines significantly reduces piped water in the town. Since water is a basic need, people will have to shift to bottled water. According to the law of demand and supply, an increase in demand for bottled water results in an increase in price. Since water is an inelastic product, people will continue to buy despite the rise in price, and this increases supply in the short run. From the above graph, an increase in demand for bottled water from D1 to D2 results in to increase in quantity supplied from Q1 to Q2. Consequently, price increases from P1 to P2. The overall equilibrium point shifts from EO to E1. All the above changes happen in the short run, while in the long run, things might be…

manufacturing of low-cost electricity and accessible resources Electricity is the primary energy that makes the world run daily, without power can’t do any job, and the world is going to fight. This project focuses on the manufacturing of low-cost electricity and accessible resources — the primarily used for electrical power generation. The energy system is manually operated. This study discusses the design, evaluation, and feasibility of the bicycle generator. The complete design and usefulness of bike energy generation involve battery, production, bicycle, sprocket, inverter board, and chain, the bicycle’s back wheel, combined through the belt with the generator. The strap is positioned above the wheel’s rim. Differently, the belt is linked in sequence to the generator through the battery and the inverter board. The current life of the individuals is running with inevitable frequent power cuts of about three hours a day, which are hardly regulated by the wealthiest people using the electrical power generators, not by middle-class individuals. The two generator terminals are linked to the battery. The electricity is stored using the battery. It can be stored directly…

Monetary systems and interest rates Introduction Every nation has and needs a monetary system to control supply and money value in a country. In the early years, the United States used a gold standard financial system; then, it later faced harsh criticism from some of the nation’s especially the United States of America, at around the late twentieth century (Cassel, 2017). This paper aims at defining what is the gold standard and also shedding light on the matter of why the golden rule was made away within the United States of America. It also will explore whether or not it was better than the current FIAT system. A gold standard is a monetary system money paper is directly linked with a fixed amount of gold. In this system, the monetary unit is defined by a certain amount of gold. A given amount of gold was equated with a given amount of paper currency (Willson, 2017). The requirement to redeem for gold guarantee was gold value for all kinds of bank issue-money. The purchasing power of gold currency was very stable.…
