The honorable Ms. Jessel Hernandez and to all the young generation that are present here. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here in front to inform you about the harmful effects of drugs on our society. Thousands of young mans have wasted their lives because of illegal drugs in our country, Philippines. They were mostly victims of a cruel environment, a broken-home family, of ignorance, of curiosity or particularly of the illegal drugs mafia. According to National Survey on Drug Use and Health it is estimated that around 4 million people in Philippines are illegal drug users – about one in every 50 Filipino. In the capital city of Manila, it is estimated that three out of ten young people are users. A study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) showed that around four percent of illegal drug users in the country are teenagers under 20 years old. Two out of ten users are involved in illegal trafficking. Some teenagers start being involved in producing and trafficking drugs between the ages of 13 and 15. Chairman of the National Institute on Drug Abuse said that the country’s illegal drug users include around 7,000 junior high school students, over 10,000 senior high school students and about 800 elementary school students.

...Child Neglect Has An Effect Child neglect has harmful effects to growing children. Future symptoms and effects from neglect are very serious and will lead the future life of children to be very difficult. In 2005 the percentages of children who suffered neglect in the United States was 62.8% ("Child Neglect"). Some who have suffered from such neglect can suffer from a variety of effects such as depression, suicide, and also take up drinking in order to cope with their past ("Child Neglect and Emotional Abuse: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia"). The neglect of a child is nothing to brush aside and ends up hurting everyone in the end. Depression can occur at a very early age in childhood and can even be carried on years into adulthood as well. Depression can be stemmed from the acts of ignoring, rejecting or verbally abusing a child and a pattern of this behavior from the parent can lead to the child's poor self image ("Child Neglect"). By constantly being treated with this behavior, the child begins to think that through the words and actions of the parent that they are worthless and believes it. Parents may try to compensate for the lack of emotional relationship with the child by giving material items they think the child will enjoy and think will gain the affection of the child (Tudoran, Bugolt, 2015). Depression can lead to severe self loathing, self harm, low self esteem, and suicidal thoughts....

...WATER WARS Water is our past. Water is our future. Without it, we cannot survive, and there are no alternatives. Many people have likened the issue of water scarcity to our current economic struggle over petroleum. Without petroleum, we cannot drive our cars, and we may have to walk to school or work. This is not the case for water, as we are not interested in the issue of sustaining life itself. Unfortunately, water scarcity is in the household of our near future. This means that, similarly, petroleum leads to war now, water will lead to war in the near future. There are three main reasons why water scarcity will become one of our most serious problems in the near future. Policies and practices of water management under water scarcity must focus on specific objectives according to the causes of water scarcity. The first reason of poor water management is uncontrolled demand. Today’s world ultimate problem is increasing human population so that the more growing population the more demand for water day by day. However, necessary measures are not taken. Therefore, supply and demand should be make equal by government. The second reason is inequality in water allocation. For example, the world’s water allocation is formed developed countries’ water sources more than to meet their needs but poor and dry countries sources are not to meet the needs. This situation is not fair and should be changed by laws. The third reason of poor water management is lack of effluents treatment and...

...though, it faces exchange rate exposure from both the Chinese Yuan and the Indonesian Rupiah. This is because it currently owns a 40% stake in the Chinese Wenchang oil field extraction operation, and has plans to develop oil fields in Indonesia. Assuming that local Chinese labour will be used for the construction and operation of these facilities, all labour cost will be incurred in local currencies. Also, it can be assumed that materials suppliers and contractors will be acquired from local suppliers in order to cut down on transportation costs. In all these scenarios, a devaluation of the Canadian dollar against the Yuan and Rupiah would lead to higher operating costs. Also, because Husky itself is owned by a Chinese firm, a devaluation of the Canadian dollar relative to the Yuan makes Husky less profitable to its owners, which could lead to decisions affecting it’s Canadian shareholders. For example, a Chinese recession...

...products. A metal whistle that’s in the collection did not pass testing due to small traces of lead. We can handle this problem in one of three ways. One of the options is to remake the product and repackage it taking the $100k loss it will take to reproduce and repackage it. Another is to remake and repackage the whistle and give it to the customer at a reduced cost than originally agreed upon. Lastly, to reproduce and package the product, then raise the price to cover at least half of the added cost. I came upon the three possible solutions by using the model 3 theories in the course of study. First question I asked myself when deciding each alternative was what goals or other results do I want for all three decisions? The answer was to make a responsible and ethical decision, reduce cost and make the customer happy. I then gave thought to my options, which are: 1) Remake the product and repackage it taking the 100k loss 2) Remake the product and repackage it and give it to the customer at a reduced price 3) Remake the product and repackage it and give it to the customer at a higher price For each decision I thought about the advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of the first decision to remake and repackage the product and taking a $100l loss, demonstrate that we are a company with good business ethics. Regardless of weather the product may have the legal amounts of lead for South America, we would not distribute our product to children because we do not consider...

For example, under the leadership of Richard Branson virgin differentiated into many markets from their original market which was a record store and expanded into many different areas such as Banking, AIRLINES and cosmetics. This is an extremely risky strategy because it was a new product into a new market which they had no prior knowledge and understanding of, lead them to become one of the world’s most successful business with $21.3 billion revenue as of 2011. Therefore, this success can only be attributed to the characteristics of leaders’ being risk-averse and believing that the rewards outweigh the risks that ventures bring. However, will this last in the future or will entering too many markets cause them to lose out in the long term through having too much in their product portfolio. For example, Sony under the leadership of previous CEOs entered many different markets but lost sight in their primary markets causing them to lose their...

As example, financial wise, the passing, the stress parent gave or even temptation comes from high school, middle school and even grade school First and foremost, having a financial constraint is definitely one of the major reason for high dropout rate in the college. Refer to the survey that we discussed earlier on, 58% of student out of those who dropout from college said they work and pay their own fees.

Defects- It is also pure waste as poor quality is produced. Time, energy and materials are consumed needlessly, and even if the customer is not lost, you still need to do the work again.
