Desconfianza
Era una de las mayores crisis económicas de los últimos cincuenta años, la gente, desesperada se echaba a las calles, pero sus llantos, quejas y criticas caían en los oídos sordos de la clase dominante. El desempleo estaba rampante, familias enteras a veces se encontraban sin ningún miembro en el ámbito laboral. Los cuerpos de ancianos, niños y mujeres, enfermos y hambrientos yacían en los contenes de las aceras y la mayoría de los hombres jóvenes hundía sus frustraciones en el ron y whiskey. La delincuencia estaba en su punto álgido, y los ricos se refugiaban más y más en residenciales fortificados. Una guerra de clases se estaba a punto de gestar.
Como a casi todas las familias de este turbulento tiempo, la familia Alburquerque había caído hacia el punto mas bajo desde su conformación. El padre, Félix, estaba desempleado por el decimo mes consecutivo y su esposa, la cual hasta hacia un mes se echaba el día en el deteriorado metro vendiendo algunos de los manteles que cosía, había caído enferma, necesitaban dinero para una operación, pero el costo era exorbitante para ellos. Félix se había convertido en un alcohólico para escapar de sus penas. Los hijos de Félix eran algo mayores pero todavía no se valían por si mismos. Además, desde el comienzo de la crisis, su familia había ido a vivir en vecindarios cada vez más rastreros y en esta ocasión Vivian en un verdadero basurero. El lugar estaba completamente sobrepoblado por personas con la misma dicha de la familia Alburquerque, inundados de basura, infestados por crimen y alimañas sociales, los únicos negocios que allá prosperaban eran la prostitución, la usureria y el narco tráfico. Las ratas eran otros integrantes mas de las miserables casas, y varias veces competían por el alimento de las personas aunque tenían que esconderse bien por que a veces eran ellas que servían de nutrientes, el lodo espeso en las calles sin asfalto dificultaba la marcha a pie y paralizaba todo tipo de vehículos, la basura inundaba las calles y las casas, y la expectativa de vida rondaba los cuarenta años. Ese horroroso lugar donde la familia Alburquerque vivía, era llamado urbe margina o conchacano.
Eran alrededor de las tres de la tarde cuando un colico arraso el vientre de felix, este sin mas que hacer se dispuso a salir corriendo hacia la letrina mas cercana. Después de hacer corrido dos cuadras, se encuentra con que en esta están en turno unas doce personas, aparentemente con su misma necesidad. Algunos no resisten y defecan en el mismo lugar. Felix, al ver que no va para ninguna parte si sigue en ese lugar, corre hasta una esquina en un callejón cercano y hace su asunto allí, aunque no tenia agua cerca, de todos modos no la extrañaba ya que raras veces se lavaba las manos después de evacuar.
Justo cuando sale del callejón, se encuentra con una sorpresa, su sobrino, edgar apodado motete, lo saluda, aparentemente edgar estaba feliz, en sus manos sostenía una rata por la cola, parece que ese iba a ser su cena. Ellos hablan un momento y edgar le dice que un hombre del lugar tiene un plan para conseguir dinero, Félix , curioso le saca mas información a edgar y le pide que le presente al hombre. Edgar asiente y quedan en ir a la casa del hombre a la siguiente mañana.

Cuando al otro día van a la morada del hombre, felix nota que este vive en quizás una de las mas grandes casas de conchacano, al entrar, nota que parte de la casa es un antro, y al subir por una oxidada escalera en forma de espiral hasta el techo de la casa por fin se encuentra con el dichoso hombre. Era más bien bajito, con ojos grandes, vestía decente aunque con ropa algo vieja, de manera casual, y se veía un poco tenso, su nombre era miguelin y este los condujo hasta una sombrita y les explico su plan.
Este consistía en que miguelin tenia algunos contactos con gente que trabajaba para los ricos en los residenciales amurallados de la zona oeste, ellos los ayudarían a entrar por un porcentaje y estos conducidos por miguelin en una jeepeta robada, se meterían, fuertemente armados, en las casas de los ricos y vaciarían todo. Era un plan arriesgado pero sin dudas, si lo lograban serian ricos y quizás hasta se podrían mudar de conchacano.
Félix dudo por unos minutos e hizo preguntas para asegurarse pero al final se apuntó, así, una semana mas tarde, los tres hombres partirían en la jeepeta conducida por miguelin hacia la casa de uno de los hombres mas ricos de las clases altas, Miguel Martínez, miembro del MIU, partido dominante y del que Félix había sido expulsado tantos años atrás.
Cuando se acercaron a la muralla electrificada, miguelin, aviso a su contacto, un tal Andrés Brito y este, rápidamente la abrió, entonces los hombres se enmascararon, Edgar con un mascara de juan Bosch, miguelin con una mascara de Balaguer y Félix como peña Gómez. Se bajaron del vehículo y corrieron hasta la vivienda de Martínez.
Los guardias de estos abrieron fuego, pero estos los superaron y llegaron a la casa donde, la joven mujer de miguel Martínez y su pequeña hija, atemorizadas, no pusieron resistencia y les dieron las indicaciones de como encontrar la bóveda de joyas. Al llegar a la habitación con la bóveda hallan a miguel Martínez con su vieja colt, este abre fuego pero felix, deseando vengarse le raja la cabeza de un tiro. Los hombres luego vacian la bóveda y salen disparados de la zona.
Al otro dia el hecho ocupaba las primeras planas de todos los periódicos, Motete fue a llevarle el listin diario a felix y al leerlo descubrieron que un periodista los apodo el Triunvirato. Miguelin por otro lado, no estaba atan emocionado, estaba planeando su segundo golpe, esta vez a un dirigente llamado Octavio (tavito) rivera. Al oír esto ellos se apuntaron. El plan contra tavito estaba en marcha y en a la medianoche estos, esta vez con mascaras de lilis, santana y Trujillo irrumpieron en la casa de tavito, al subir encontraron a tavito teniendo relaciones con otro dirigente llamado dannerys, sin pensarlo dos veces el sanguinario felix los lleno con mas hoyos que al queso lindburguer, y edgar y miguelin se daban prisa para vaciar las bóvedas de esos dos pobres diablos. Como siempre salieron cagando leches.
Durante las siguientes semanas, una ola de estos ataque se repitió en varios de los residenciales de la clase alta, despertando la admiración de la clase baja y el odio de algunos, algunos como chubuchu o Felipito, quien se unio a la policía por recomendación de su tio carlos. Felipito odiaba al triunvirato, y tenía ansias de ser el que los demacrara, se pasaba obsesionado, día y noche siguiéndoles el rastro, no comía, no dormía, no hacia más que seguirlos. Cuando, el ministro de educación y presunto amante del líder Miguelon, Fulgencio rivera fue abaleado y atracado por el triunvirato fue que las ideas poco ortodoxas y antiéticas de chubuchu, por fin fueron avaladas por el gran jefe, este estaba cansado y frustrado y haría lo que sea por la destrucción de los delincuentes terroristas.
Entonces, empezó la campaña mas grande de espionaje de la historia de la nación, chubuchu la dirigía, pero paso casi un mes y no dio resultados y había seguido así si no es por que el fatídico día en que su mujer fue hospitalizada, Félix cometió el error de llamar a miguelin y al caer el buzón de voz comentar sobre la operación que planeaban contra Daniel el periodista. En ese momento los espías de chubuchu rastreaban exactamente el área de Félix y dieron en el blanco. La casería iba a comenzar.
La noche del atentado, todo empezó más de lo normal, los infiltrados de miguelin abrieron los portones, y estos entraron de lo más rápido, pero había algo raro, no habían tenido nada de resistencia. Miguelin temía algo, y al entrar en la cámara de la bóveda de Daniel, sus miedos se hicieron realidad. Los SWATS de chubuchu entraron en el lugar y se abrió una balacera, se tuvieron que ir corriendo, pero en la retirada edgar fue herido en la pierna. Después de una frenética persecución automovilística, perdieron a chubuchu, y se dirigieron donde el medico brujo de Félix, cabo da viña, para ayudar a edgar.
Edgar no mejoraba, además la policía y el ejército nacional tenían una cacería activa en busca de ellos, en ese momento felix discutió con el enfermo edgar y miguelin, la posibilidad de liberar al pueblo del yugo del MIU y matar al mismísimo miguelon. Parecía una loca idea, pero edgar la apoyo, y miguelin se rindió ante ella. Pero se necesitaban al menos tres hombres y edgar, prendido en fiebre, y mal herido no iba a poder, así que reclutaron a cabo.
Esa noche por un pasadizo que conocía miguelin se dispusieron hacia la mega mansión del Líder, cuando llegaron encontraron la resistencia que esperaban y fueron, sigilosamente derribando las defensas de este, luego cabo desconecto el generador de electricidad, dejando la vivienda en la oscuridad, se infiltraron hasta los aposentos de miguelon, pero no lo vieron aunque había montones de oro en su closet. Cabo, quien no había nunca visto tanta riqueza, se abalanzo hacia el oro, y en un abrir y cerrar de ojos un sniper le hizo un gran agujero entre sus dos ojos.
En ese momento se dieron cuenta de que estaban rodeados, y chubuchu salió del closet y agarro de sorpresa a miguelin y de un disparo le cegó la vida. Félix levanto su arma, pero chubuchu lo disuadió. Así que Félix soltó el arma y empezó a hablar como un machito, soltando insultos a chubuchu a diestra y siniestra, mientras este solo mantenía una sonrisa de placer en su rostro.
En un momento Félix le iba a decir maricon a chubu, pero a mediados del insulto, Félix sintió como alguien agarraba su nuca ligeramente y deslizaba un cuchillo por su cuello con la suavidad de una pluma mientras le cortaba los vasos de la zona. Félix colapso, pero llego a ver a quien le había terminado y ese fue su sobrino edgar.
Lo ultimo que vio felix Alburquerque en su vida fu la sonrisa traicionera de su sobrino mientras recibía una gran suma de dinero de chubuchu.

Anittrust Laws

...International Legal and Ethical Issues in Business Abstract In this assignment, we will review two scenarios of business practices and how these practices influence consumers. We will also explore antitrust laws and the fact that they were established to protect consumers and businesses from anti-competitive business practices. The foundation of a dynamic economy is free and open trade. The benefits of lower prices and higher quality products or services is done through aggressive competition. To maintain this dynamic economy the United States Congress established and passed the first antitrust law. This law was named the Sherman Act of 1890. Two other antitrust laws have been passed since. In 1914 the Federal Trade Commission Act was created by the Federal Trade Commission and the Clayton Act. These laws are still in effect. The antitrust laws were created to promote competition that is dynamic and to protect consumers from mergers that would create anticompetitive business practices. These laws are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission working with the Bureau of Economics. (Guide to Antitrust Laws, 2015) The Sherman Act banishes any monopolization or attempts thereof. The Supreme Court decided long ago that this act doesn't prohibit every restraint of trade. I only prohibits those that are unreasonable. For example, two people that may want to form a partnership may restrain trade but this is not considered unreasonable. Examples of illegal...

Rockefeller's Personal and Business Ethics

...3. Standard Oil violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by directly attempt to restrain trade by using the drawbacks within their agreements with the railroad companies. In addition, they also break laws with their price wars and competitor buyouts. Through these means they were attempting to monopolize the oil trade and commerce in the United States. In my opinion, just because Standard Oil was violating the law does not mean that Rockefeller was act unethically. Weather Standard oil was a monopoly or not, the more important question is, were the practices of the Standard Oil efficient and did it hurt the social wealth of the country? Rockefeller took advantage of his economies of scale in order to deliver the products cheaper to the consumer. The consumer benefits from the price wars that Rockefeller engaged in. They received extremely low prices during the war and afterwards despite a small raise in the price, Rockefeller would not raise the price too high as to not attract new competition. This reduction in prices contributed the greater social wealth of the country. Rockefeller’s purchase of the refineries also produced positive results. Those former refiners who were entrepreneurs had this buyout money and could move on to other ventures. This would free up their capital and to help move out the production possibilities of the nation. This obviously would increase social wealth and lifestyle of the country. I do not think contradiction exists between...

Antitrust Practices and Market Power

...Dentsply International and Market Power Ashley Davis DeVry University Dentsply International and Market Power The Congress passed antitrust laws in effort to protect competition in the market, as well as consumers whom are the ultimate recipients in the market (Novak, 2007). The case that will be discussed in this paper will be a company that was found guilty of violating section 2 of the Sherman Act, which focuses on people that are trying to monopolize the market for their own benefit, or someone that is trying to get complete control within an area of the economy. With the Sherman Antitrust Act in place, monopolization is very illegal and the act tries to prevent it from happening and protect competitors in the market (Novak, 2007). Dentsply International is a company that makes dental products, but their main product sold is false teeth. The company sells product in over 100 countries, so it is a very large company. The company sells its products to dealers, who then sell the false teeth and other products to dental labs. These labs then distribute the product to dentists with the supplies they need. If you don't include false teeth, the company supplies buyers with millions of dollars of products and dominated the artificial teeth market since they had close to 80 percent of the market share at the time they were being sued (Novak, 2007). Dentsply told their dealers that they had tell sell their supplies and deal primarily with them. When the Dentsply did that...

Small Business & Antitrust Laws

...Small Business & Antitrust Laws Andrew Paul Danecki DeVry University Small Business & Antitrust Laws It may seem like in the United States that the free-market is a bit cutthroat and everyone is out for their own best interests.  The U.S. is best described to have a mostly capitalist economy, and there are a handful of laws to allow growing businesses to have a fair chance to compete against other companies of the similar market.  Antitrust laws, protection against monopoly, and laws pertaining to certain mergers are just to name a few.  These laws are important, and extremely effective at protecting the small and growing businesses.  It was not perfect at first, of course, but has adapted to cover a handful of loopholes. When you think of a monopoly, what normally comes to mind?  That good, old classic board game made by Hasbro.  That’s what I think of when that word comes in mind.  And just like in the game, you try to dominate the board and be the only player left.  The same goes for that word in the market world, which actually is illegal since the Sherman Antitrust Law was enacted in 1890.  A monopoly is when a single company has solid control over the market with a particular product or service.  Congress passed this first antitrust law as a “comprehensive charter of economic liberty aimed at preserving free and unfettered competition as the rule of trade” (The Antitrust Laws, n.d.).  The last two laws were passed shortly later, and all three of these laws...

Egt1 Task 3

...A. Sherman Act (1890) is meant to prevent activities that a business may do that the federal government regulators believe to be anticompetitive. The Act maintains that the federal government is to examine and track trusts, companies, and organizations suspected of being in violation. It was the first federal statute to limit cartels and monopolies. (Sherman Antitrust Act, 2014) Clayton Act provides clarification to the Sherman Act of 1890. It is meant to encourage competition with businesses within the United States, discourage formation of monopolies, and prohibit price discrimination, price fixing and unfair business practices. (Clayton Antitrust Act, 2014) Robinson-Patman Act (1936) prohibits a business from selling the same item to one company for a different price while selling the same item to another company for a different price. This protects smaller businesses by limiting the large company's ability to command discriminatory discounts through its purchasing power. (Robinson-Patman Act, 2014) Federal Trade Commission Act enforces the other three antitrust laws by preventing unfair competition and deceptive practices. This act discourages businesses from entering into unlawful competition. B1. Industrial regulation deals with the government regulation of a business pricing in certain markets. It helps to decrease the control of oligopolies, prevent conspiracy and increase competition among companies. This regulation helps the consumer know that oligopoly...

...NHS (National Health Service) has succeeded in encouraging employees to the cultural change through implementing several plans: first, they come up with national programmes which focused on the commitment to improving employees working lives by providing rewards trusts and they are ranked to 3 levels, the gold is (practice plus), which demonstrate that a trust is implementing improving working levels (IWL) across the whole organization in all staff groups.

Moreover, many improvements that have been implemented as part of IWL are the appointment of a communication manger and schema (plan) to improve attendance at work, because they were facing some problems with the absence. Other initiatives include changing the role of a member of a staff to training and education co-ordinator, for example on of the employee helped another how to read and write, also some plans to develop a support group as part of the induction programme for medical staff.

It can be tangible reward such as prize and coupon, or intangible reward such as praise and recognition. The simple example in our life is that drinking is motivated by thirsty.

...According to Salvatore (2012), regulation is the result of pressure-groups action and results in laws and policies to support business and to protect consumers, workers, and the environment. Salvatore (2012) goes on to describe that starting with the Sherman Act of 1890, a number of antitrust laws were passed to prevent monopoly or undue concentration of economic power, protect the public against the abuses and inefficiencies resulting from monopoly or the concentration of economic power and maintain a workable degree of competition in the U.S. economy. First, lets discuss regulations and the ways that government has been able to restrict competition. Government regulation has four main purposes, preventing abuses, protecting consumers, limiting negative externalities and promoting competition. These regulations includes things like licensing, restrictions on price competition, as well as patents. Regulations will also help ensure economic stability by keeping the unemployment rate low as well as keeping the inflation rate low. A license is often required for a business just to operate and remain open. A business such as TV, radio stations, child care services; professions like medicine and law; and trades such as plumbers, electricians and real estate brokers as well as dietitians and taxi cab drivers all need a license in order to operate. The government requires license of these businesses and professions in order to protect the public against things like fraud and...

Forum Discussion- Trust and Diversity

...Based on past experiences, how have you noticed trust being developed within a team or group? Realizing that I have been part of many team settings I could see how trust has played a role. I have had difficulties in trusting in others since I could remember. Even though I am great as a team player relinquishing full trust is very difficult. This is because many people have let me down. Saying you will do something and then do not follow through is not very conducive to being part of a team. The minute I let me guard down and try to relax and delegate, sure enough a task does not get done. Trust is developed with the actions of teammates and how well they follow through as well as communication. Often lack of accountability will break trust in any team. If something has gone wrong take responsibility and find a solution. An example where I had a co-worker prove that I could trust was I was due to go on vacation and it was time to place an order for medical supplies. Usually what I have been known to do is place the order while I’ve been away. This time she assured me that she would take care of it and everything would be fine. I was very reluctant to do so, but I did. I went on vacation and even though it was a large order and the clinic would be in bad shape if it was not done correctly or placed in on time I did not worry (well I always worry) about it. She called me the very next day to notify me it had been placed and emailed notification. I know she did not have...

Joshua

...Joshua – Courageous Faith DB1 Upon reading our assigned text I was encouraged at the descriptions of the lives of these Old Testament Heroes. While evaluating their lives I found that I can relate to Joshua's life the closest.  Like Joshua I have seen too many people begin to serve God and only come back with a negative report in life of what He can do. I have watched families that once believed God turn from the way and live a life of defeat.  I have also seen how God can be for us, and if we'll just take Him at His word then the victory can be ours.  As I studied out the life of Joshua I was so moved by the fact that it was not only his faith, but his willingness to not turn back.  His heart was settled, and he even challenged those around him to be held accountable. So I also ask myself many times, what other options do we have in life as a believer, to turn back to the life we had before we were born again only to go on living in bondage, a slave to the world, unhappy in all circumstances? No, I like Joshua have seen the greatness of God in action, to tear down the biggest obstacles of life and take care of the battle. The hardest thing for me was not necessarily the step of faith; it was the putting of God first for many years.  My Ai's have turned to Jericho's all because of our wonderful God who said "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous." Joshua 1:9.  After I had learned to allow God to have first priority in life no matter the circumstance, or how foolish...
