...In my opinion, especially in this day and time, when you do business via the Internet, you're most likely dealing on an international level. This makes things trickier but for argument sake, as a whole, I believe self-regulation is best for the online business industry. I think that private sectors can adapt to changes more quickly than so with government regulations. So really in the end, even if you vote for government regulations, you almost have to somewhat go by the ethical codes established by trade individuals and professions (to an extent) otherwise you'll fall behind if you're waiting on regulations implemented by the government to catch up. On the issue of fraud and deceptiveness from perpetrators, that's virtually going to happen in any industry. Whether you are strictly a brick-and-mortar store, have somewhat of an online presence, or you are a full online business, you're going to have be schemed by someone, no matter if its government regulated or self-regulated. A few years ago, a local restaurant's credit card portal was compromised from a group of hackers several states away. This is proof that your privacy can be compromised without dealing with e-business, as this business had strictly a brick-and-mortar presence. Personally, when dealing with online businesses, I only use business that I know will protect my privacy. Primarily, businesses that I'm used to, or that take PayPal. I've had my bank account hacked into before via a site that was compromised....

Before figuring out how intrapersonal and interpersonal perception (understanding yourself and other people) contribute to individual success both at university and later at work, a detailed research and a sequence of experiments are indispensable. This essay is just gives a comprehensive study on intrapersonal and interpersonal perception. Firstly, the essay will analyze in detail how intrapersonal perception contributes to individual success in academic performance and later at work. Secondly, it will explain explicitly how interpersonal perception funtions in interdependent relationship among people. Main Body a. Self-regulating and self awareness Intrapersonal perception means self-regulating involving self-monitoring on the basis of self awareness. Accurate self-monitoring of one’s mastery of material is a necessary skill for student success. Such skill enables students to have the awareness of when to prolong or terminate their studying for an exam and modify their studying strategies. Students who are aware of their own cognitive state are able to adjust their performance when warranted, (Huff &Nietfeld, 2009) which bases on the principle that awareness of what one knows or doesn’t know falls under the heading of metacognition. Awareness determines the grounds on which students judge whether their engagement in an academic task meets the standards they have set for successful learning (Butler&Winne, 1995) Cognitive strategy...

...The purpose of this study is to find a relationship between self-regulation and treatment of alcohol addiction. As a longitudinal study with a quasi-experimental procedure, the researchers are looking to investigate two groups; those who maintained abstinence and those who relapsed after a year. The hypothesis of the study indicates that the longer the alcohol addicted stayed abstinent, the stronger their self-regulation developed. Three assessments were done, the first assessment was after 2 weeks of treatment, the second assessment was done after the basic stage of treatment (8-9 weeks) and the last assessment was done after 1 year of them starting the program. Throughout the study, the researchers used Julius Kuhl’s definition of self-regulation...

Notwithstanding introducing programming, online understudies must be capable work autonomously, oversee time productively, and compose adequately, since such an extensive amount what might be talked about orally in a customary classroom is conveyed through content in online courses. Different components that impact online achievement have nothing to do with innovation. On the off chance that you have a tendency to hesitate, for instance, online courses may not be for you. Since online understudies make their own particular class plans, and are to a great extent free from the structure of frequently planned classes, coursework and perusing can without much of a stretch heap up until there's an excessive amount to oversee.

...Question One Self-regulation is increasingly becoming the norm in numerous industries globally. Various industries, such as health care, advertising, professional sports, and energy, have used self-regulatory processes to administer industry practices. The main motivation behind self-regulation in industries is to limit the level of government interference in the industry and also maintain consumer trust and confidence in the industry itself. One of the main goals that drive an industry to regulate itself is the sole purpose of generating profit. The players within the industry have an objective to minimize their financial costs and at the same time increase their financial benefits by attaining profits. Self-regulation may also help firms adopt ethical behavior and values since the guidelines are based on social standards and behavior of the other firms as well rather than laid down rules which are forced down upon them. This may help introduce a better level of respect and recognition of the rules and will end up in better company behavior, and escape argumentative circumstances in which companies try to look for exceptions to rules which are not implemented by the industry itself. In addition, self-regulation benefits the companies by creating a more flexible regulatory situation than is normally found with government regulation. This more flexible regulatory situation may let companies to function more efficiently and reduces any costs that would have been incurred...

...To Consent or Not To Consent Bruce Ridley Colorado Technical University On-line Composition: Writing and Research ENGL103-1601A-04 Elke Kleisch February 07, 2016 To Consent or Not To Consent “ You have no privacy – get over it”, declared CEO of Sun Microsystems ( now Oracle) Scott McNealy in 1999; according to Parent (2007). When strong statements are made proclaiming consumer privacy is being compromised, that's justification for concerns. With on-line activities and communications on the rise, consumers need to be aware of what they are consenting to with the aide of government regulations. In the following paragraphs, we'll discuss consumer concerns, possible fixes to these issues and explain why further regulations are needed. Consumer awareness is very important. The majority of the time, consumers just click accept when gaining access to sites on-line. According to Meinert, Peterson, Criswell II, & Crossland (2006) consumers rarely read privacy policies. One reason for the lack of interest, could be the legal jargon written throughout the policies. Another reason for not reading policies is that in order to use the services being offered, you must agree to the terms and conditions. Once the terms are accepted, consumer privacies are being exploited. Data gathering or collecting starts when you agree to the terms of the consent policy (Farah, & Higby, 2001).

...Chapter 3: The Regulation of financial accounting Why examine theories of regulation? Better placed to understand why some accounting prescriptions become part of legislation while others do not. Accounting standard – setting is a very political process While some proposed requirements may be technically sound and logical, they may not be mandated due to political ‘power’ or influence of some affected parties What is regulation? The Oxford Dictionary defines regulation in terms of a “prescribed rule” Macquarie Dictionary defined regulation as “a rule of order, as for conduct, prescribed by authority; a governing direction or law”. On the basis of these definitions can say that regulation is designed to control or govern conduct Hence, when we are discussing regulations relating to financial accounting, we are discussing rules that have been developed by an independent authoritative body that has been given the power to govern how we are to prepare financial statements, and the actions of the authoritative body will have the effect of restricting the accounting options that would otherwise be to an organisation. ‘Free Market’ perspective Accounting information should be treated like other goods, with demand and supply forces allowed to operate to generate an optimal supply. Arguments supporting ‘free – market’ perspective Private economic – based incentives ‘Market for managers’ ‘Market for corporate takeovers’ ‘Market for lemons’ Private economic – based...

...govern’t in relation to a.a. Each particular field of regulation has its corresponding substantive and procedural law. AL as such deals with the general principles and rules that cut across the particular substantive fields and apply t a.a. generally. These principles include 3 basic bodies of law: (1) constitutional law; (2) statutory law, including above all the APA; (3) a form of federal com mon law, embodied in judicial decisions that do not have a clear constitutional or statutory source. REGULATION Aa are engaged in regulation. Regulatory agencies develop and enforce prohibitions or obligations with which private firms and/or individuals must comply (some agencies aren’t regulatory, but benefactor: they’re engaged in disbursing govern’t benefits). PROBLEMS THOUGHT TO CALL FOR (ADMINISTRATIVE) REGULATION One can imagine a govern’t without agencies, but no govern’t can avoid “regulation”. The common law is in fact a regulatory system, although outside the definition set out above: it depends on the creation and enforcement , by law, of a set of rights, notably those creating private property and enforceable contracts. The appropriate scope of govern’t regulation is of course strongly contested. MARKET FAILURES, ECONOMICALLY DEFINED One method of analyzing admin regulation is to view it as a response to “market failures”, treating the marketplace as the norm and assuming that those who advocate admin regulation must justify it by showing that it is needed to achieve...

...reflect accepted views of a given society” (Melvin, 2011, pg. 4). Law also helps businesses resolve disputes that have to do with the rights of the business and citizens (Melvin, 2011, pg. 4). Obtaining an understanding of the legal system can help businesses gain a competitive edge, as well as add value to the business. Many businesses rely on attorneys to help them with their business needs. By obtaining an attorney, or counsel, businesses often reduce the cost of risk and liability and result in business opportunities (Melvin, 2011, Pg. 7). There are many regulations that businesses have to follow, such as environmental regulations (The Clean Air Act, The Clean Water Act, The Safe Drinking Water Act, The Pollution Prevention Act, ect.) (“All Businesses”, 2009). It is evident that some regulations are put in place to protect the environment, while others are put in place to protect citizens or businesses them self. There is also much compliance that businesses must follow, such as minimum wage laws. Each state provides business owners with a different minimum wage amount to help protect employees. An example of the minimum wage being enforced would be businesses in New York paying their employees no less than $7.25 an hour and businesses in Washington paying their employees no less that $9.04 an hour (“United States Department of Labor”, 2012). In many court cases, consumers are holding businesses responsible for their actions. The court does not always side with the...

...shortages and rationing. A price floor keeps prices from falling too low, which can protect producers, but can generate excess supply and waste if it is higher that the equilibrium price. Understanding and implementing the exact balance of price floors or price ceilings can very difficult for regulators to forecast. Since they are not self correcting processes, one of the negative effects would have to manifest before an adjustments could be made. I believe that there is an excessive amount of regulation in our economy and it creates more problems than it is supposed to solve. Every regulation has some sort of associated cost of compliance which can increase the total cost of operation for businesses. This cost could prevent new businesses from entering into the market and allow existing firms to continue to generate a profit, which in turn monopolizes the industry. Excessive regulations not only disrupt market processes, but can also have some unintended consequences. These unintended consequences can and usually lead to more regulations to fix the unintended consequence which creates a cycle of regulatory fixes. With that said, not all regulations are bad when implemented in moderation and focuses more on protecting individual rights of instead of attempting to control our economic...

...Introduction There is an increasing trend that more timely and sophisticated financial information are required by the general public as well as owners and managers. There are two possible solutions to this increasing demand. Either let the market force decides what information to be supplied or through regulations. It is more than evident that accounting standard setting is becoming highly regulated all over the world. The question is whether a free-market approach to standard setting should be adapted? Free Market Approach Free market approach to standard setting basically means eliminating regulations and relying on the ‘invisible hands’ to guide the supply of financial information. This is based on the assumption that markets are efficient and there will be incentives to encourage the managers to disclose financial information, including bad news. One of the major incentives is to gain access to capital market. When investors don’t have a certain level of information to gain confidence in the entity, they require a higher rate of return to compensate the risk they are bearing. In order to avoid paying a higher price for capital, managers will have incentives to voluntary disclose financial information. Interestingly, advocates argue that manager also have incentives to disclose bad news. This can be explained in a in the used car market. Sellers of used cars tend to disclose as much as information as they can, including the existing problems of the car. Not like a...
