Asbestos Manufacturing
... using contrasting ethical theories, justifies the actions of early asbestos manufacturers
As early as 1932, the dangers of asbestos were known by the industry that produced it. It was in this year that the British first documented the occupational hazards of asbestos dust inhalation. In 1935, there was correspondence between the editor of the trade journal Asbestos and Summer Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan. This correspondence consisted of the editor asking permission to print an article about the dangers of asbestos inhalation. Written on September 25, 1935, the message read
Always you have requested that for certain obvious
reasons we publish noth ...

Economic Intervention
... the law be given better lodgings and better care
than someone who is a law abiding citizen? We see examples such as prisons
being outfitted for the care of inmate's children. This is an area in which
government money is being improperly spent. Money that is being used in these
areas should be being put to better use in areas such as health and welfare.
People who are free and law abiding should be receiving this money to better
their lives not someone who has had no previous respect for the laws of our
country. Most inmates have free access to physical training facilities that
would cost us three hundred to four hundred dollars per year. All inmates are

Why Do All Modern Cars Look Alike?
... is that many manufacturers actually cooperate and by
contracts copy each others models. The Mitsubishi 3000 GT for example is
practically the same car as the Dodge Stealth, only the Mitsubishi is made
in Japan at the original factory and the Stealth is made in the US at the
Dodge factory. Apart from the two emblems respectively, very few details
differ the two cars. Honda who have been in need of a sport utility
vehicle in order to grab their share of that part of the market, which has
grown considerably the last decade have taken almost desperate measures.
They have simply bought the rights to re-badge the Isuzu Rodeo as the
Honda Passport and marketed it as a ...

Rapid Economic Growth In East Asian Countries

time. As time progresses, countries seem to be able to grow at a much more rapid
rate. From 1780, it took Great Britain 58 years to double its real income per
head. It took America 47 years to double in the 1800's while Japan took 34
years from the late 19th century. Finally, South Korea was able to double its
real income per head in an amazing 11 years from 1966. It would seem that the
later a country has industrialised, the faster it has been able to do so.
Another important factor is the degree to which a country is behind the
industrial leaders. In the case of the East Asian countries, South Korea and
Taiwan, both started out with an extremely ...

"Boeing And Union Agree To Meet With Mediator"
... to the problem facing boeing's union, as well as administration. It is a never ending battle which the administration is trying to fight with the union; it pretty much consists of the fact that in order for the company to stay competitive it needs to cut down on some of the privileges of its employees. The union members on the other hand refuse to recognize the financial situation of the employer and insist on better wages, bonuses, and all the other goodies associated with being in the union. James Dagnon a human resources senior vice president told the engineering-union leaders that they haven't recognized "the competitive battle that we're in here."

The Great Inflation
... and by November 1923 had reached almost 92 trillion marks. With less than three per cent of government expenditure being met from income and with the cost of one dollar at four billion marks, Germany was in the throes of economic and social chaos. Starvation became a reality for millions of people, despite a bumper cereal harvest, as shops reverted to the barter system. Farmers refused to accept the effectively worthless, banknotes in exchange for grain, and food quickly began to run short in the cities. Prices rose one trillion-fold from their pre-war level. More importantly, for the long-term political future of Germany, the middle and working classes saw ...

Government Spending & Budget
... citizens that a balanced budget will become
reality. A recent Gallop Poll from January, 1996 showed the budget as the
#1 concern among taxpayers, but 4/5 of those interviewed said they doubt
the GOP will do the job (Holding 14). Meanwhile, an ABC poll from November
reported that over 70% of those polled disapprove of the current
performance by Congress, and most blamed politicians for failure to take
action (Cloud 3709). These accusations of failure to follow through come
with historical proof that Congress and Clinton have failed to compromise
and resolve the issue. After all, current budget plans are dependent on
somewhat unrealistic predictions of avoiding ...

Role Of Government In Mixed Economies Such As Australia
... has partial control over the economy and has the ability to influence
the markets. Recent moves by the government that shows the government's role in
the economy to be shrinking includes the privatisation of government business
enterprises (GBE) and deregulation of the financial market. The main roles that
the Australian government plays today are to ensure:
1) The efficient and even distribution of income (though CSSB, tax)
2) Provide a limited range of goods and services (Aust post)
3) General economic management through macro and micro economic
policies.

The Nature Of Imperialism
... also control the culture by imposing their own on them. These combine to create social domination as well This position held by the oppressing country causes people to gain realization of the problems associated with these countries in different ways than those of a tyrannical government. Kincaid and Orwell show a common realization of this a certain points in their live. Swift on the other hand, show a realization in a way to speak out against England’s control. They realize it only after time and it comes in the form of cultural, economic and social domination by their oppressors. All three writers are relating experiences of oppression and domination by the ...

Television Advertisement
... has made many attempts to advertise as many different ways so they can possibly get the consumers to buy their products. Through commercials on televisions and radios, advertising in the newspapers and magazines, advertising has made it possible for most people to go in the restaurant or store and to buy their products. Advertisement contains a lot of false promise. Advertisement may contain a lot of satisfaction, happiness and exaggeration. But people tend to become subconscious with that advertisement. The viewers would often feel like he or she wants to be associated with the advertisement. To make the consumers feel they are associated with the adver ...
