...options and choices. Options are things and choices are decisions based on available options. Radley Balko argues that there is an absence of moral obligation with regards to unhealthy people and their nutritional choices. However, if healthy food options at an affordable cost aren’t offered to general society or easily accessible, then what decisions do they truly have between their available options. Even though adopting unhealthy eating habits is a personal choice for some, affordable and accessible healthy food alternatives are essential to making conscientious nutrition choices. Balko’s position should be challenged because of the lack of nutritional equality in our society. In most cases, people...

...Response Paper to McCloskey Article “On Being an Atheist” H.J. McCloskey, claims that “proofs” offered by theists for the existence of God simply do not provide evidence that there is one omnipotent, omniscient being. His arguments about “proofs” question why people are theists, and why theists should abandon their arguments or “proofs”. He claims that most people do not believe in God because of their lack of knowledge about evolution, but in fact most theist believe in God and consider themselves theists, because there is documented evidence that supersedes any “hypothesis” or “theory” that scientists have on the life forms on earth, and even earth itself. “In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) Although an atheist may make a convincing argument about there not being a God, and we are all products of evolution, there is no documented, definitive evidence that is fact. Darwin himself even labeled evolution as such, “the theory of evolution.” However, I do believe McCloskey makes a very valid point about the arguments he, as an atheist, is challenging, and he defends his ideas very well. While I can appreciate the theory that it is possible that the universe was a cluster of stars and then one day something exploded and miraculously the galaxies and solar systems were formed and, luckily for us there was one planet that was capable of sustaining life and microscopic organisms and bacteria evolved into all living things...

...differences. Christians generally believe that God is the center and origin of all things, he is self-defining and he created everyone for a specific purpose. For one, I do believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I am also a follower of the Christian faith. However, I am still young and trying to discover different aspects of myself and how I see and interpret the world. Since I am still experiencing the world and seeing different aspects of it daily, my worldview is constantly changing. What I perceive as my worldview has its similarities and differences from a Christian worldview. For example, there are two views to the development of the universe. One is that the universe was an accident and just happened through what is known as the Big Bang Theory. The other view is that there is some supernatural power that gives us order and created the world and everything in it. These are two completely different views, but they are continuously feuded between followers of the faith and scientists. A Christian as well as other religious denominations would believe that there is a paranormal being that...

...Walking into high school and into college are two very different things. The atmosphere is different, students are different, and teachers are different. Many things are different in college. Professors are not scared to use profanity. Class styles are all different. Students are not babied in college. College is a time in a student's life to realize their dreams. However, first, they must pass basic courses. One of these basic courses includes English 101. Some students struggle with this course because they believe they are not good writers. But bad writing can be fixed, laziness cannot. As a student who has taken English 101 twice now, I have a few helpful tips for incoming freshmen on how to succeed at this course. Students who wish to end their English 101 class with a bang should avoid procrastination, correct essay mistakes, and celebrate successes and failures....

...Harry Liu Lori Runkle Language class 2A 25 October 2012 Is Starbucks a Good Choice? Let us set a certain setting, “It is a cold night during the winter. It is freezing cold outside, and you decide to buy a cup of coffee to keep warm. (It is always a good choice to buy a cup of coffee in the cold winter.) There are several choices including Starbucks, COSTA, Macafee , or perhaps some Nestle instant coffee.” I suppose most of those people who live in urban areas would probably choose Starbucks. As a matter of fact, I myself am a Starbucks’ fan. I have always had a weak point for their latte and cappuccino. But still, there are many people who suppose Starbucks is very costly and that instant coffee is just as good. So here comes the problem, is Starbucks a sensible choice? Starbucks may give you an impression that they did many beneficial things for the environment. Even at the back of their invoice, they print their so-called “Share Planet” project to contribute to help the environment. Starbucks™ Shared Planet™ means focusing on the core areas where we have the biggest influence – ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship and community involvement.(Starbucks share the planet project) But what have have done? The bizarre policy in Starbucks which is aimed at preventing germs developing in the taps in its 10,000 stores worldwide, has outraged environmental groups. Every Starbucks branch...

Ethical issues 2 3. Analysis: 3 a) Ethics theories: Utilitarianism and Deontology 3 b) Apply in the case: 4 4. Solutions: 5 1. Case summary: Nowadays, every company always support for employees to improve working efficiency by paying for traveling and entertaining expenses. However, from that reasonable policy, there are many faults which happen by employees who always try to maximize their expenses reached to the company’s limitation. These expenses even include many things which don't relevant to employees themselves and irrationality such as: * One employee submitted a bill for $12 for a tin of cookies * $625 for wallpapering included in her travel expenses and even had the receipt written in foreign language in order to throw off any questions * $275 sports jacket submitted as a restaurant bill. If one employee adds $1 in his/ her bill, it may not affect a lot but let's imagine that every employees in company do that times by times, what's happen and what consequences does company have to face up with? 2. Ethical issues Firstly, in the aspect of personal integrity, employees in the case violated some rules relate to the necessary...

...the origin of man is that God created man from the dust on the ground and he breathed life into him, this is according to Genesis 2:7. There is one answer to the question of the origin of man in the worldview of the Christian. There is another part of this question that also addresses the question of the origin of the universe in the Christian worldview. In Genesis 1:1 it is stated simply that God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning. In the Christian worldview that in fact means that God simply created the universe out of his thought and with his infinite knowledge and power. The fact that God created the universe out of nothing, lends credence to the “Big Bang” theory in the world of science. Every year scientists, astrophysicists and astronomers come closer and closer to proving the “Big Bang” theory as fact through their experiments and observations. 2. According to the Christian worldview the answer to the question of identity can also be found in Genesis. In Genesis 2:15, God said that we were created in his image and we were created to rule over the animals and to be their caretakers. This passage didn’t say that we are to...

...Who Should We Blame for Sin? Cransheka Emery This paper was prepared for British Literature, Instructor: Thomas Bullington. Literary Work Analyzed John Milton’s Paradise Lost That day I oft remember, when from sleep I first awak’t, and found myself repos’d Under a shade on flow’rs, much wondering where And what I was, whence thither brought, and how. Not distant far from thence a murmuring sound Of waters issu’d from a Cave and spread Into a liquid Plain, then stood unmov’d Pure as th’ expanse of Heav’n; I thither went With unexperienc’t thought, and laid me down On the green bank, to look into the clear Smooth Lake, that to me seem’d another Sky. As I bent down to look, just opposite, A Shape within the wat’ry gleam appear’d Lending to look on me, I started back, I started back, but pleas’d I soon return’d, Pleas’d it return’d as soon with answering looks Of sympathy and love; there I had fixt— Mine eyes till now, and pin’d with vain desire, Had not a voice thus warn’d me, What thou seest, What there thou seest fair Creature is thyself, With thee it came and goes; Who Should We Blame For Sin? Unexperienc’t Thought The passage surrounding Eve’s awakening does indeed raise many questions about how we form our own identity as moral creatures. From a psychological standpoint, I will attempt to interpret Eve’s “unexperienc’t thought”...

...iconic and renowned for their cinematic style -- such as Quentin Tarantino. (In)famous and controversial for the use of abundant bloodshed, intense violence, murder, and cuss words in his films. In most recent projects – Django Unchained and Inglorios Basterds, he re-imagines and re-writes some of the grimmest eras in history. The protagonists triumph over the inhumane treatment they are subjected to, avenge their suffering and that of their loved ones, and triumphantly conquer their adversaries. A little known fact about Tarantino’s filmmaking process is that he derives ideas from music and compiles soundtracks which flawlessly capture and reflect the atmosphere, aesthetic and stories. One of the most notable examples is Nancy Sinatra’s “Bang Bang” hauntingly used in Kill Bill. Tarantino also likes to incorporate homages to the films he grew up viewing. Critics have said he’s unoriginal for doing so yet he deserves credit for bringing various genres into the mainstream and modernizing them. He is heavily influenced by samurai and western...

...beginning and no end. The world was formed from the interaction of elements and then it “embarks on a downward spiral at the end of which [it is] destroyed in a great cataclysm caused by natural elements such as fire, water or wind. In due course the process starts up again and the worlds once again evolve to complete a full cycle of time known as a “great eon” (mahākalpa)” (Prebish, C. S., & Keown, D. p. 27). The Question of Identity Buddhists believe that the universe and everything in it are equal and are in search of an “eternal oneness” (Weider, L. and Gutierrez, B. p. 58). They believe that upon death they will reincarnate into another life form. The life form they are reborn as will depend on whether they performed good or bad deeds during their lifetime. This is their concept of reaping what they sow, which Buddhist call Karma. The more acts of goodness they accomplish in their life, the closer they get to reaching the state of Nirvana. This level is the highest achievement possible for Buddhist and when it is accomplished it is said that their souls become eternal. The Question of Meaning/Purpose The Buddhists main objective is to perfect their life on earth in order to end the cycle of Samsara, which in it’s simplist form is their reincarnating until they reach the state of Nirvana. The Question of Morality Because “Buddhism is more about an ethic and philosophy than an actual religion” (Hindson, E., Caner, E., p. 155), it stands to reason that they...

...REV: SEPTEMBER 5, 2007 ROBERT D. AUSTIN DANIELA BEYERSDORFER Bang & Olufsen: Design Driven Innovation “The Farm,” Bang & Olufsen’s futuristic glass-and-concrete headquarters, rose out of the green fields of western Denmark “like something lifted from a Stanley Kubrick dreamscape.”2 In a nearby parking area, Christopher Sorensen stepped from his car and walked toward the entrance, on his way to meet with a high-powered group that included the CEO, to discuss an important product program. Within this 80-year-old company, based in rural Jutland where local people might still consider you an outsider after 30 years, Sorensen would be very much the newcomer. Despite that, he would try to convince the others to adjust the firm’s successful design process—to change a winning game. In April 2006, Bang & Olufsen (B&O) sold a range of televisions, audio systems, loudspeakers, telephones, and other products (see Exhibit 1) in more than 60 countries. The company had a worldwide reputation for idea-based products of high quality and artistic design, many of which held places of honor in the permanent collections of the world’s greatest art museums. (According to a citation at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, B&O had “delivered the largest and most consistent design portfolio among the world’s industrial companies.”3) This level of accomplishment translated into high price points (see Exhibit 2) and profit margins, realized through an exclusive network of dealers, from devoted...

...Atheism vs. Catholicism For some reason or another Atheists feel they need to beat you over the head with their view of creation, laws, the Bible, God, the Constitution and more. They consistently tell Christians that they are wrong. Atheists, agnostics and other nonbelievers will always seem to quote science, scientists, NASA and others. Using scientific theory to disprove the Bible is like using gasoline to put out a fire, The reverse of that would be using the Bible to prove the existence of UFO’s, it cannot be done. The Bible is “the” source of explanatory information about all of the things that the Atheists attempt to debunk with scientific theory. Atheists seem to have a mental block about the reality of the real truth about who is responsible for even their own existence. They are more than willing to put their trust in Charles Darwin who wrote a book 150 years ago titled “On the Origin of Species” and is now commonly known as the Theory of Evolution. Atheists have no problem putting their full trust in the fact that we all descended from a common ancestor, which is what Darwin’s book was really about. Even though there is no proof to this date that Darwin was correct 150 years ago, when labs and science were in their infancy; Atheists believe he was right but they just cannot believe the Bible. The Bible is filled with witnesses to the events describe in it. Additionally, it is filled with witnesses to prophecy; both to prophecy as it was being fulfilled...

...meet many retailers' orders. The immediate impact was about $150 million in lost sales for the year. The damage to sales and retailer confidence lingered into early 2000. Hershey is still reluctant to discuss what happened and what caused it; the company declined repeated requests for interviews from Baseline over the past year, and asked SAP and Accenture (which helped with the mySAP implementation) not to talk, either. But we gathered insight from insiders and former employees, and from some public statements Hershey has made about its supply-chain improvements. Here's a look at three things that went wrong at Hershey—and the subsequent lessons learned. #1: The Big Bang"> What Went Wrong #1: The Big Bang The overriding problem appears clear: Hershey was simply trying to do too much at once. In cosmology, the Big Bang theory tells us the universe sprang into being in an instant, wiping out everything that went before. In Hershey's case, it was the old logistics systems that had allowed it to do business for years that were wiped out in a flash. In late 1996, Hershey's management approved what came to be known as the Enterprise 21 project, which would largely replace legacy mainframe systems with new enterprise client/server software. Enterprise 21 was partly a Year 2000 project, allowing Hershey to scrap rather than repair legacy software that might not process...
