...Extended Essays in Social and Cultural Anthropology These subject guidelines should be read in conjunction with the “Introduction”, “Outline” and “Details—all essays” sections of this guide. Overview An extended essay in social and cultural anthropology provides students with an opportunity to develop an awareness of what constitutes a distinctively anthropological approach to the organization of human life in society and culture. Extended essays should be based on published ethnographic research. Students are expected to demonstrate, in the presentation of the research, their knowledge and understanding of the methods and aims of social and cultural anthropology. Choice of topic Social and cultural anthropology is not a “residual” category for essays that do not fit into any other extended essay subject. Students must choose topics that lend themselves to anthropological investigation, and must carefully consider their choice of topic in terms of the assessment criteria. An extended essay in social and cultural anthropology should analyse a topic from a theoretical or comparative perspective, based on the student’s own original analysis and on a solid understanding of the theoretical issues concerned. Students who intend to tackle comparative projects must be aware that research strategies involving two or more societies may call for greater narrowing of the research focus than a study in a single society. For example, a comparative analysis of Mexican and...

...Final Examination : Essay Question 1. “Critically analyse the CSR concept using examples from what you have read” ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’, abbreviated to CSR, is the concept that businesses have a social responsibility towards society that encompasses economic, legal, ethical and discretionary expectations. It goes on to highlight how a company can be deemed a ‘corporate citizen’ only if they fulfill the economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic expectations of their stakeholders, and involves corporate social responsiveness (the methods of achieving social issue objectives) as well as corporate social performance (the end result). This essay shall attempt to critically analyse the CSR concept by weighing in the advantages against the disadvantages and reaching a balanced conclusion. One of the advantages of corporate social responsibility is business involvement: by addressing social issues, businesses can be a part of the solution and hence lead society. However, businesses may not be well equipped to be handling social issues especially on a larger scale, as was the case with Exxon Valdez. When the Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred, the company could not handle the situation on it’s own – it required the help of various other entities such as governments and NGO’s to clean the mess it made. Another advantage of corporate social responsibility is the fact that it wards off future government intervention. If a company engages in CSR effectively, then governments...

...corporates deal with their internal and external data processing systems more effectively and flexibly, cooperate more closely with suppliers and partners, and better meet the needs and expectations of their clients. Classified by market relationship, there are there models: business-to-consumer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B), and consumer-to-consumer (C2C). As a small company providing consultancy services in life science, the best sales strategy for Evolution Bioscience is E-business. However, this company does not make full use of its official website and several social media accounts to develop its business. This article describes Evolution Bioscience existing strengths and failing in using digital platforms such as its website and social media accounts first, and then, using SWOT and business models to analyse the company’s internal situation and via analysing the main social media to choose the suitable social media.

...1) Ethical and conceptual issues Current research and research results It is increasingly recognized that within many areas (e.g., disability and handicap), conceptual issues and ethical issues about proper conduct and underlying values are highly intergrated. The treatment of ethical and policy issues depends on the content of the concepts employed and, at the same time, many central concepts are informed by moral opinions and, as a result, contested on ethical grounds. Taking this intergration of conceptual and ethical issues seriously from a research point of view requires that they are very strongly interconnected, i.e. mere studies of the way in which concepts are in fact informed by moral opinions and social values is not siffucient. Outright normative analyses of underlying ethical views need to underpin suggestions with regard to the way in which central concepts should be employed in policy contexts. This has been recognised in research on the basic ethical issue of what should be seen as the basic determinant of the quality of life or well-being (Brülde 1998, 2006), as well as research on applied ethics of relevance for disability (Brülde 2003; Munthe 1996, 1999; Juth 2005; Juth & Munthe 2006), and concepts such as happiness, health, illness, and mental disorder (Brülde 2000, 2006a, 2006b). Research on several of the conceptual issues has demonstrated how they are strongly connected to ethical problems related to health care policies and public health practices...

...Management RTG Professor Kevin Mirabile April 4, 2014 Socially Responsible Investing Socially responsible investing is a process of investing in which traditional financial analyses are coupled with an evaluation of a company’s corporate citizenship in order to best determine if a company is inline with potential shareholders’ vision. Socially responsible investing extends beyond analyses of a company’s financial activity through the incorporation of analyses related to environmental, social, and governance issues. This report will examine the origins of socially responsible investing, how it works in practice, its performance relative to non-socially responsible investments, and what role it will play in regard to my future personal investment portfolio. Socially responsible investing rose in popularity during the 1960’s due to the heated political climate. At this time, shareholders prompted companies to act in accordance with their political beliefs as issues like the Vietnam War, civil rights, and equality for women took the national spotlight. Throughout the 1980s, the Apartheid crisis in South Africa further mobilized socially responsible investing as shareholders’ investing strategies became focused on pressuring the South African government to repeal the Apartheid. In more recent years, issues such as gun control, human rights, and healthy working conditions have been the most common platforms in which shareholders advocate for (Schueth). Moreover, shareholders have...
