...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE INTRODUCTION Rationale of the Study Acquiring information is quasi difficult. Specifically, information that was secluded from general views. To puzzle out this problem, technology becomes an absolute must. In fact it can be used effectively in daily lives. The most essential contribution of technology to society is making the lives of people much easier and helping them achieve more what was previously impossible. The discovery of computers was the great function of modernity to make work easier, faster, and more precise for the humanity. Though technology may differ in various ways, but its uses are likely more advantageous. With technology, people find fast acquisition and availability of information. To have lived in this world for so many years without the use of computers just seem unthinkable or even unbelievable! (Stair and Reynolds, 2007). In today’s generation of rapid development, technology facilitates peoples’ lives and creates more comfort. It has remarkably improved the quality of life. Due to this transitory advancement, youngsters resort on finding information the easiest and most convenient way. It is in this era also that technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies. As organizations and entrepreneurs continue to operate in an increasingly competitive and global market place, workers in all business areas...

...Essay Ethics is a social science that refers to the study of human conduct and moral principles. The role of ethics and moral judgement is increasingly playing a more significant role in the corporate world. The concepts of personal values and moral judgement are inextricably connected. As a result, I believe that as professionals, whether we choose to act according to our morally intelligent conclusion, or ignore it, is highly related to individuals underlying personal values. When professionals are required into making moral decisions, they are forced to rely on their ethical reasoning. However Maggid’s web article argues that, Modern Actuary ethics goes further than the ‘minimal legal compliance’ (Maggid, 2010). Whilst an individual may know the ethical code, does that mean he or she will choose the morally right choice? Maggid seeks to answer this issue by extending our understanding of ethics into a combination of three key components. These three components are ethical reasoning, underlying personal values and reasonable self-interest. Subsequently, Maggid supports the notion that personal values are related to whether we choose to act morally. Underlying personal values refers to an individual’s core philosophy that drives ones belief and psychological reasoning. From a young age, it is our personal values that drive our rational thinking. It is a form of identity that allows an individual to distinguish from what is right and wrong. The issue is, that in the corporate...

...1. Introduction: “Administrative and judicial remedies” is a legal concept with immense practical importance in the ABS negotiations. The existence of effective legal remedies in the user country is the primary means by which all ABS parties (especially source countries and other providers) obtain certainty about their rights and how they will be protected and applied. The CBD’s provisions and the ABS regime negotiations have created certain concepts (new sovereign legal rights) and all CBD parties have committed to adopt legislative and administrative measures to recognise and apply those concepts. Legal remedies are the tools for ensuring that these commitments and their underlying objectives are achieved in practice. The proper relationship between the judiciary and the quasi judicial administrative agency is a topic of continuing controversy in administrative law. One of the most significant and puzzling problems which has arisen in this area is the timing of judicial intervention in the administrative process-at what point and to what extent may the court give relief to a party aggrieved by administrative action. Universally applied, the doctrine of exhaustion of administrative remedies precludes an applicant from challenging the validity of administrative actions prior to seeking relief via prescribed administrative procedures. The law of ‘remedies’ is not usually sectorally specialised. In nearly all countries, “administrative and judicial remedies” are provided in...
