Legislation and self-regulation Self-regulation is the term used to refer to the situation where the parties in an organization industry or trade sector of the economy are mandated to monitor their conformance to legal, ethical, social as well as safety standards. In some cases, self-regulation tends to be more efficient and effective under which the regulation is passed to consumers. Therefore, the process of rules enforcement, monitoring, and remediation processes is easier and fast. The legislation is the government regulation that is enacted to protect its citizens, more specifically, the consumers for the business sector. Therefore government regulations tend to protect the immediate consumer; however, the impact they might have on the business sectors. Government regulations are often better in situations where the industry may fail to eliminate the unethical behavior known to the public. Therefore regulations become infective where there arises a conflict of interest. Laws enacted by the States may thus force the party concerned to comply with such regulations. The concept of whether legislation or self-regulation should apply depends typically on the issue at hand. It also…
The right to vote by ex-felonies The right to vote by ex-felonies in the United States has become a topic of discussion by many policy-making groups and the judiciary in the country. Felony disfranchisement policies and severity in the United States vary from state to state. For example, in 2008, 5.3 million Americans were not allowed to vote because they were ex-felons. Whereas some states limit the right of voting for ex-felons in different ways, some states do not have any limitation towards voting for the same group of individuals; for example, the state of Maine does not have restrictions on ex-felons when it comes to voting. There are different ways in which different states restrict voting on ex-felons. First of is limiting voting rights of a felony when they are still serving their term in the society or jail. For example, states like Colorado and Maryland have these restrictions. Ex-felons may not be able to vote until when they finish their term, parole, and probation, and then it can be restored. An excellent example of the states are Alaska and…

A subculture Q1: Some actions of companies have been criticized that in trying to align themselves with values and views of subcultures, these actions are primarily aimed at making more money for the company rather than attempting to make a social statement. I agree with this criticism because whatever decision a company makes, its major focus is making profits. Other things, such as making a social statement, follow after the profit-making is achieved. Advertisements are aimed at making the products of an organization better known to the public as a way of increasing sales. It’s a marketing strategy that works out excellently, especially if the advert meets the targeted audience. The fruits of an advertisement are not reflected in its impact on people but on the rise in sales and profits that an organization makes. It is thus true that ads are aimed at making money and not impressing a particular subculture in society. Additionally, without sufficient finances, a company is unable to prosper, and this is the reason why companies focus on the central aim of making more money…
Themes in Candide The corrupting power of money is a primary theme that I believe has taken a central stage in the nine different concepts illustrated in the Candide story. When Candide got a fortune in Eldorado, it was like most of his challenges had been solved. The issues like the arrest and the injuries to the body were no longer threats as he could easily bribe his way out of most situations. The practice shows a concept of humanism which is a concern of humanity, uniquely using specific approaches to solve human problems, like the avoidance of arrest and body injuries. However, as a rich man, Candide is still unhappy. The lack of happiness has come from the experience of seeing his money go to the hands of the corrupt merchants and also some officials testing his optimism in a manner that inhibited flogging. The experiences get associated with empiricism where the knowledge gets derived from the sense of experience. Also, the concept of pagan self-reliance is seen in the story where Candide has a full reliance on…
Specific elements usually attract each other more than others. Also, the universe does not judge how people mold their lives, the paint used in their image, or the way they design their situations. It merely reacts to the intentions of their creative mind by bringing their life events, individuals, and circumstances that align with current configurations of talking, thinking, and even responsive yearnings. The law of attraction also depicts that people attractively attract situations, people, and occasions that are in synchronization with their prevailing sentiments, judgments, and designs of self-talk. It is also necessary to note that attraction has four characteristics that seek to define a decisive factor when it entails identifying another person as either attractive or unattractive, and they include similarity, proximity, reciprocity, and physical attractiveness. The aspect of similarity depicts that individuals are likely to be attracted to those who resemble them, and as such, this is a conflict of the prevalent idea that counterparts attract. The elements leading to the attraction, in this case, maybe age, educational background, political and religious beliefs, values, and other demographic…
Student’s Name: Professor’s Name: Course: Date: Book Review: Being Mortal Advances in science and technology have led to the development of skills and mechanisms through which human health can be sustained and recovered from most known illnesses. This has led to the growth of the notion that medical care can heal anything and that death is mortality is as a result of medical failure. But as Atul Gawande writes in Being Mortal, death, frailty, and aging are all part of nature. Atul also indicates that the medical profession has little to offer to patients who are nearing the end of life. This essay reviews Being Mortal by Atul Gawande and seeks to establish the importance of changing the medical philosophy around death and aging. Dr. Gawande is a surgeon like his father before him, has an interest in geriatrics and hospice care (Sutton 1). With this background, Atul uses experiences as well as interviews with patients, their families, as well as caregivers who are involved in the difficult conversation involved in assuring patients that peaceful death is not the ultimate…

Homicide Introduction Homicide is my point of interest when thinking about life in society. Manslaughter is defined as the ability of one man killing the other man. Homicide can be either illegal or lawful. For example, soldiers who are deployed to counter-terrorism will kill people the terrorists legally. Therefore, choosing black on black homicide and violence is my topic of interest (Greenwood & Wattal, 2015, pp. 15-54). After gaining knowledge about the difference that has been between the blacks and the whites, knowing why the blacks kill their fellow blacks is more interesting. Besides, black males are exposed to homicides more than black women. Background / research topic Homicide is a recurring issue—various places where blacks live practice black on black murder. The leading cause of the killings is the need to revenge. Some blacks feel superior when compared to the others in the society. Instead of facing the whites who colonized them, they face their inferior black members to satisfy their superiority. Homicide is a significant issue for many blacks amongst the American states (Pratt-Harris et al., 2016, pp.…
Student’s name: Instructor’s name: Course title: Date: How does Fritz Leiber use the vampire as a mentor for capitalism in his story, “The Girl with the Hungry Eyes?” “The Girl with the Hungry Eyes” is a story that was written by Fritz Leiber in 1949. It is about a girl who has the identity of the vampire to enthrall and feed the individuals who are not lucky to see her in the adverts she makes. The story has been used to explain the capitalist nature of society. In the capitalist nation, wealth is handled individually. This means that the firms should do all that they can to ensure that they remain competitive enough in the market. The story of Fritz has some magic part of it that hinders the real meaning of the consumerism nature of the economy. This paper will, therefore, explain the relationship between adverts, capitalism, and vampirism based on the story by Fritz Leiber. The modern economists have defined consumerism as the promotion and the protection of the consumers. In this case, the consumers have the right…
