Business and Professional Ethics             Financial malfeasance is an act of outright sabotage where one of the parties to a signed contract takes an economic activity that is capable of causing internal damage. Some of the financial malfeasances that misdirect investors include the inappropriate scrutiny of the overall corporation leading to lack of proper oversights in finances and the failure to pay adequate attention to the expenditure of the organization’s resources on program implementation (Griffin, et al, 2014). This paper aims to identify instances of misrepresentation in the Enron, Arthur Andersen, and WorldCom. The investors, employees, regulators, as well as the public, were harmed and misled by the fraud. Here, the misrepresentations included recognizing the revenues prematurely by use of prepays, the syndication of SPEs, interest conflicts by the board of directors as well as false financial statements. Those that benefitted include the senior management of Enron and partners at Arthur Andersen (Brooks & Dunn, 2018). In Arthur Andersen, the misrepresentations involved the employment of a culture that was focused mainly on the production of revenue through non-audit services. Also,…

Critical Review: Survival of the Sickest             In the non-fiction genre of literature, many writers have often tried to persuade as well as educate their readers on specific facts. Dr. Sharon Moalem, in her book, survival for the sickest, seeks to demystify our current understanding and beliefs on diseases and change the reader’s perceptions on health and their relationship to all other living things on earth. Dr. Moalem argues on the influence of illnesses and diseases on the evolution of humanity. The thesis of this paper is to analyze Sharon Moalem’s book, “survival for the sickest” and access whether the book was able to meet its intended objective.

Moalem discusses that when an individual possesses one of these genes, they acquire partial resistance against malaria. Dr. Moalem uses another…

According to CBS News (n.d.), different anonymous employers came forward to offer an insight into how the company trains the employees, especially the ticket agents, to provide false information about the availability of the booking space in the flight. The individuals who testified in anonymity asserted that it was the company’s policy to ensure that the ticket agents are prepared to handle pressure from the customers after they miss the flight to their destinations.

The American Revolutionary introduction The American Revolutionary was characterized by war between the British and the 13 colonies. The British were supposed to win the war. However, in the end, the 13 colonies ended up winning for reasons that were ingenious. They knew the land that the war was fought on, they knew tactics that were dastardly and to the British cowardly, and they did not know of an ally that would help them, the French. The history behind this brilliant victory is definitely an interesting one. The war was being fought on the land that the Americans were settling on. The Americans knew the land and all of its features. They knew about all the hills that were great for protection, they knew about which ponds and lakes were hidden so they could set up camps, they knew about the climate that they were living in such as what time of year the cold winds from the north would be forced upon them, and they knew about the secret paths that they could flank the British from. Even if…

Abel and Bäuml’s Article Review             Reviewing articles culminates in a state-of-the-art comprehension of a research topic. Therefore, reviewing articles is essential and should never be questioned. Abel and Bäuml attempted to find out the involvement of inhibition, strength-based blocking, and output interference in both socially shared retrieval-induced forgetting (SS RIF) and within-individual retrieval-induced forgetting (WI RIF) in their 2019 study. The study can help in understanding selective memory retrieval because of its thought-provoking experiments, which suggest that inhibition and strength-based blocking influence both types of RIF and output interference does not  forgetting. Even though not explicitly stated, the researchers’ hypothesis was that blocking, inhibition, and output interference contributed to both SS RIF and WI RIF. The authors tested the hypothesis using four experiments. Experiment 1 used a 2 x 3 mixed-factorial design while experiments 2, 3, and 4 employed the same 2 x 4 mixed-factorial design (Abel & Bäuml, 2019). During the experiments, the participants were expected to recognize specific items that were previously presented to them while being subjected to output interference, inhibition, or blocking. The results suggested…
