Vaping versus Cigarette Smoking             Vaping and smoking have brought a lot of controversial issues in the current society. One of the main reason that is resulting in the huge disparity is the over-emphasis on which is better than the other. Vaping is a process of inhaling vapor through the mouth from an electronic device that is operated using a battery. An example of such a device is an electronic cigarette that contains a liquid solution of nicotine in a small reservoir which vaporizes forming an aerosol mist which the user ‘vapes’ (Wise, 1). On the other hand, cigarette smoking is the process or practice where tobacco is burned to produce smoke which is then inhaled and absorbed in the bloodstream (Notley, et al, 1). The aim of this paper to chemically compare whether vaping is better than cigarette smoking. According to Notley, et al, (1), the process of cigarette smoking involves tobacco combustion that contains hundreds of chemicals. These chemicals are generally referred to as carcinogens. Some of these chemicals include nicotine, an addictive chemical that tends to give…

Laquan McDonald Murder Case Crime in Chicago has been the talk of the city for more than a decade now. According to the statistics, among all the states in the United States, Chicago’s murder rate has been on top for more than five years consecutively (Pavlick et al, Pg. 1019). Apparently, homicides top the list of murders. For instance, the late Laquan McDonald is a victim of a police shooting crime that happened in 2014 in Chicago. Laquan was a black teen under the care of his legal guardian, Goldie Hunter. Laquan’s death shows how black teens suffer under oppression from the white policemen due to their racial background. Moreover, it highlights how teenagers are suffering from drug abuse which later indulges them in crime unintentionally. Gutowski & Jeremy (Pg. 2) affirm that Mr. McDonald was a jobless African-American teenager aged 17 years addicted to drugs. After a detailed investigation the suspect, Officer Jason Van Dyke was found to be responsible after a police dashboard camera showed him doing the act. Mr. Dyke was working for the Chicago Police Department…

Frantz Fanon on ways in which framing or labeling racial minorities Frantz Fanon has a very provocative understanding of the ways in which framing or labeling racial minorities with different words drastically affects our perception of the group in question.

Ethical Issues of the Defense and Prosecution Without crime, there would be no law. The role of a prosecutor is to win their case the role of the defense is to dress up the truth to win theirs. Persuasion is a march. Each step taken is to guide thoughts, change hearts, and impact minds, all without coercion yet a firm hand. It has been everywhere trying to sell itself to anyone who is willing to listen. Therefore, can we dare say there is any true ethic when it comes to the prosecution or the defenses main objective to win? I dare say not. Both parties rely heavily on persuasion in the form of “justice” although, each party may go about doing things differently, their sole purpose is gear toward the end result which is to win the case (Roh Myung Sun, 2014). The defense aims to get their clients back out on the streets free as a bird. Even if that means they are in the position of defending a guilty client. The job of the defense is not an…

Managerial utility maximisation Introduction Williamson’s theory of managerial utility maximization is also known as managerial discretion theory which describes the utility of the manager versus maximization of the profit in the corporate world (Baker, 2018). It states that the management is separate from the shareholders /the owner where the shareholders’ aim is different from that of the manager since the shareholders want their investments to have maximum returns leading to profit maximization, while the manager/management have got other considerations within their utility functions rather than profit maximization. According to this theory, managers implement decisions that give first priority to their maximization of utility over the profit of the principle provided that the firm is in a position for generation of minimum profit which is automatically demanded by the very principle for the job security of the manager (Foley & Williamson, 2018). Thus, the aim of this essay is to discuss the principal-agent problem of managerial economics and how and in what ways Williamson’s theory relates to the principal-agent problem. The principal-agent problem of managerial economics occurs when one particular party…
