...Essay Outline A3 Jackie Introduction 1. Background “Greenwashing” is what companies or organizations do when they spend more time claiming to be “green” through advertising and marketing than actually implementing business practices that minimizes environmental impacts ( Berkeley Media Studies Group, 2008). In recent decades, due to the increasing pressure from the government and public regarding the environmental issues, a growing number of companies are using “greenwashing” strategies to boost their sales (Berkeley Media Studies Group, 2008) and carmakers are no exception. With gas prices on everyone’s mind as well as individuals’ concern about environment, people are looking for clean and fuel-efficient cars to go easy on the environment and their wallets. As a result, some car manufacturers launched hybrid cars with biopower engines which gained popularity soon and labeled themselves as environmentally friendly companies. 2.

...Throughout this essay the social accounting issue ‘environmental accounting’ will be discussed. Environmental accounting is ‘the practice of including the indirect costs and benefits of a product or activity, for example, its environmental effects on health and the economy, along with its direct costs when making business decisions.’ Also ‘the term environmental accounting is frequently used within the accounting and environmental management literatures. Environmental accounting is a broader term that relates to the provision of environmental-performance-related information to stakeholders both within, and outside, an organisation.’(epa.vic). There are many definitions for environmental accounting, however, there is no accepted single definition. Environmental accounting is also connected to Green accounting. Green accounting is seen as one of the most important aspects of environmental accounting. ‘The term, green accounting, has been around since the 1980s, and is known as a management tool used for a variety of purposes, such as improving environmental performance, controlling costs, investing in “cleaner” technologies, developing “greener” processes and products, and forming decisions related to their business activities.’(articalbase). Being a ‘green’ company it has a positive impact and makes the company or business look good. It also measures ‘carbon footprint’, how sustainable a business is and if the business participates in recycling. Therefore being green avoids businesses...

...Professor Ashley Farmer Unit 2 Essay Sweatshops and the benefits of Fair Trade The great Abraham Lincoln once said, “Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.” In many countries worldwide, people are being exploited on a daily basis by factories around the world known as sweatshops. A sweatshop is a term used to describe a working environment, commonly factories manufacturing textile goods that are deemed dangerous due to poor working conditions. Workers who work at these sweatshops often endure sexual, physical and mental abuse, who work long unreasonable hours with no leave, lacking any health care benefits whatsoever for meager wage. These sweatshops often employ the usage of child labor and women, as they are easier to control. Today, my research essay will be on sweatshops and how the benefits of Fair trade and anti-sweatshop activism in the long run, can be beneficial. I will explore the poor and harsh working conditions of these workers, how working in a sweatshop can affect their health both mentally and physically, how child labor is being employed in these sweatshops and how women and children are mainly the ones being exploited in these sweatshops. More often than not, many Americans assume that these acts are not ongoing today, and are oblivious to the ways we as consumers, are actually supporting these organizations unknowingly. Authorities should further enforce laws and rules...

...Americans don’t realize it's origin or importance besides the fact that it stands out and makes a statement on their very lawn. While Price discusses the frolicsome traits of the United States culture, she states how foolish and ignorant we can be through her sarcastic tone. Price discusses the subject of how the Americans have “hunted flamingoes to extinction”, and how “ironic” it is that we are celebrating them in a plastic form when we haven’t realized that we never celebrated the real form and origin of this material item. The sarcasm comes in when directly following this assertion she says, “but no matter”, Price emphasizes how she should be more careless and carefree like the Americans. She sets aside her statement of great importance to continue to establish the development of the plastic flamingo rather than establish the origin of where this “pink flamingo” came from. This sarcastic remark directly shows the two opposing views of the American culture; their ignorance to the flamingo background and their airy attitude...

...Social Responsibility of Business Introduction What is the social responsibility of a business? Is it to increase its profits as Milton Friedman affirms? Before starting any debate about this topic, first let’s see what its definition is. According to the Business Dictionary, social responsibility is an “obligation of an organization's management towards the welfare and interests of the society which provides it the environment and resources to survive and flourish, and which is affected by the organizations actions and policies. 1 ” Furthermore, according to the Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms, social responsibility is the “principle that businesses should actively contribute to the welfare of society and not only maximize profits. 2 ”These two definitions are in total opposition to Friedman’s statement. Never the less, I do think that any corporation can be social responsible in terms of these opposing points of view at the same time. In this essay, I will first present a summary of the article of Milton Friedman; then I will express my personal reflection on the topic and tell why a corporation can comply with both positions simultaneously Milton Friedman in his article “The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits” states that only people can have responsibilities, and that there is not such a thing like social responsibility of business. A corporation, according to Friedman, is an artificial person and, therefore, may have artificial...

...Journal of International Business Ethics Vol.1 No.1 2008 ESSAY: CONSUMER RIGHTS: A PART OF HUMAN RIGHTS Shaoping Gan Center for Applied Ethics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing, China Abstract: For many ordinary Chinese, assuming obligation and responsibility means almost the same as having ethics and morality. Therefore, when talking about consumer ethics, people first think about consumers’ obligation to strive for the virtue of frugality. However, in today’s world, especially after the opening up and reform of China’s economy, consumers have more courage to safeguard their rights as a result of rising consumer awareness. Consumers’ newfound courage showcases the change of people’s values. During a discussion of consumer ethics, we naturally take the protection of consumer interests as the starting point. The shift in research from the examination of frugality to consumer interests reflects the transformation of the Chinese moral mentality from obligation-orientation to right-orientation. Keywords: consumer rights, human rights, consumer ethics SAFEGUARDING CONSUMER RIGHTS, THE FIRST PRIORITY OF CONSUMER ETHICS For many conventional Chinese, assuming obligation and responsibility means almost the same as having ethics and morality. Possessing ethics and morality depends on people’s self-cultivation as they seek to develop virtues, find cause first in their own persons, and strengthen their characters. Such a mentality has a profound impact on the Chinese...

...bearing curious spectators and relatives and friends of the men entombed. State troopers and deputy sheriffs and the prosecuting attorney came, and officials from the company, the Federal Bureau of Mines, the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals. Ambulances ar- rived, and doctors and nurses and Red Cross workers and soldiers with stretchers from Scott Field. Mine res- cue teams came, and a federal rescue unit, experts bur- dened with masks and oxygen tanks and other awkward paraphernalia of disaster. . . . One hundred and eleven men were killed in that explosion. Killed needlessly, for almost everybody concerned had known for months, even years, that the mine was dangerous. Yet nobody had done any- thing effective about it. Why not? Let us examine the background of the explosion. Let us study the mine and the miners, Joe Bryant and Bill Rowekamp and some others, and also the numerous people who might have saved the miners’ lives but did not. The miners had appealed in various directions for help but got none, not from their state government nor their federal government nor their employer nor their own union. (In threading the maze of official- dom we must bear in mind four agencies in author- ity: The State of Illinois, the United States Government, the Centralia Coal Company, and the United Mine Workers of America, that is, the UMWA of John L. Lewis.) Let us seek to fix responsibility for the disaster. . . . The Centralia Mine No. 5 was opened two...

...worldwide GDP and is responsible for one out of every 12 jobs” [ (Canadian Tourism Commission, 2013) ]. Ninety percent of hotels worldwide are small hotels, e.g. hotels with less than 50 rooms (Radwan et al., 2010, p. 179). This essay addresses the problems associated with solid waste produced by the hotel industry including the difficulties faced by small hotels in managing their solid waste and ultimately describes benefits and solutions for sustainable waste management by small hotels. Waste minimizatioin is priority area 1 on Agenda 21 for the Travel and Tourism Industry [ (Stipanuk, 2006, p. 89) ]. The objective of priority area 1 is “to minimize resource inputs, maximize product quality, and minimize waste outputs” [ (Stipanuk, 2006, p. 89) ]. Waste is defined as “unused material produced as a result of inefficient production and/or consumption practices” that “puts economic and environmental costs on society through its collection, treatment and disposal” (Radwan et al., 2012, p. 535). “Waste can be regarded as a human concept as there appears to be no such thing as waste in nature” where “waste products created by a natural process or organism quickly become the raw products used by other processes and organisms”(Full Cycle, 2009). The Problem Why is waste management a problem? Landfill is the primary waste disposal method utilized by small hotels (Radwan et al., 2012, p. 534). “Landfill is one of the main causes of enviromental degradation through the emission of explosive...

The security of having something that you can call your own and do what you want with, when you want with it appeals to most people. For many this dream will never become a reality, and for many others even once having it doesn’t mean they can keep it. The problem is todays housing is just not affordable.
