...Case Analysis 1. Receiving a Holiday Gift 1. For the first case, it is clearly stated that a supplier sends a basket of expensive food stuffs to our home during Christmas.

By applying principle of double effect we would not accept this kind of order. The situation here is that if we follow one condition the other is ours automatically. The thing with this case is that the manager is expecting something in return to the first order he would give to us. A donation is given by a person freely and willingly. From all the reasons stated above, we do not agree to have an order by the purchasing manager who is expecting us to make a donation of P2, 000 donations to his favorite charity. 3. Sales Expense Reimbursement This case states that an agent of the Southeast Asia wants us to reimburse the customer executive from the Southeast Asia for all his expenses, including...

...Patfu Mayawa, is a farming village of about 200 hundred inhabitants in central Sierra Leone. While most Thaymnehs are either Muslims or Christians, some Thaymnehs sometimes mix their religion with their traditional beliefs. Among those beliefs is that there are gods who dwell on forests and mountains. For the people of Patfu Mayawa, my hometown, they believe there are “devils” that dwell at Chainkafutu, a thick virgin forest hill that towers above the village. Before each of the many celebrations at Patfu that signaled girls’ and boys’ initiation to adulthood – the Poro for boys and Bondo for girls - the village headman would walk the half a mile “street” that ran through the village and announce loudly that there would be a celebration on a certain day. Soon, one could see white sheets spread all over the rocks on the hill. Mother used to explain that those white sheets were the devils’ clothes for the celebration.

At the end of the event, they were provided with their snack. Everyone was encouraged and did participate in the duration of the program. Though the event turned out well, the organization of the activity became a challenge to its success. Materials to be used, such as prizes, were rushed since some of the committee in charge have classes on that day. Overall, the event achieved its goal: to unite the whole Tourism body, introduce the organization, and encourage camaraderie amongst members and non-members.

...Reflection about The little rain This short poem tells me that life is full of challenges. There is a rain but after wards sunshine that symbolize hope and happiness. No doubt, life is beautiful and every moment – a celebration of being alive, but one should be always ready to face adversity and challenges. A person who has not encountered difficulties in life can never achieve success. Life is beautiful but not always easy, it has problems, too, and the challenge lies in facing them with courage, letting the beauty of life act like a relief, which makes the pain acceptable, during trying times, by providing hope. There was a time that the storm came to our family. Not the simple one but it risks the life of my mother. She was diagnosed late back at 1999 that she had dengue. Before dengue don’t have much cure and medication. Days pass by and my mother became weak but my father and our family didn’t give up. She was sent to manila to have the medication there. I and my sister were left here in Bicol. Then when they came back my mother is full of tears in her eyes. She hugged us and whispered “I’m home honey” and we as 7 year-old child. I just hug her back and tears fell to my eyes. That was the most painful part of my childhood days as I realized today. It might take away my mother. Thank God they give us another chance to be with...

For Iban there is a lot of festival such as Gawai Batu (Whetstone festival) which is related to the farming festivals.

Tuai Rumah and Tuai Brrong will call a meeting to discuss the celebration of the Gawai Batu, and this festival is held in May or early in June.

...make it more difficult to recruit great, future talent. II. Causes 1. People are getting out of control and belligerent at the parties. 2. Since it is an event that takes place after work, there is the issue of drinking and then driving home afterwards. 3. Further, as the company continues to grow, more and more people are becoming a part of these celebrations. Thus, it could get out of hand more quickly. III. Systems Affected 1. Quantum Software is affected via their employee atmosphere within the workplace. This is especially true because of their 16 hour work days and 6 day a week schedule. Therefore, the spirit and morale of Quantum will be impacted. 2. New hires are in turn affected, because if the culture is not what it once was, it could become more difficult to get great talent hired. 3. The company as whole is also affected as its employees may become less efficient and productive as they once were. Making the company potentially less successful and less profitable. IV. Alternatives 1. There are a number of things that could replace the current TGIF Beer Bust. For example, they could just make the celebration TGIF, and eliminate alcohol and serve food and non-alcoholic beverages instead. 2. They could also keep the TGIF Beer Bust and simply limit...

...(Intro) Today I will inform you of the popular event of the “running of the bulls” which is held in Pamplona Spain. We will talk about who they celebrate before the running of the bulls, what happens during the running of the bulls and after the running of the bulls is over and the celebration is done. The celebration isn’t all about bulls running down a street the fiesta is about one man their patron saint name San Fermin . According to Rick Steven producers and star of “Rick Steven Europe” states that San Fermin was a well known saint who was decapitated because of his faith some wear the red band around there neck and the white outfit to represent his end some say the red band and the white outfit also represent the butchers who started the event running of the bulls. The San Fermin church is filled so people can honor him and ask for protection from the famous saint. After the church services are over the people are out an about the streets eating, drinking and having a good time then that great morning when the 6 bulls are lined up and ready to run. The runners are called “Mozos”. To me, sound like bozo’s because who in they right mind would run will bulls. Some of the runners take the event seriously some just go out and run, usually 5 or more runners get hurt a year. The bull’s path leads them half a mile to the stadium so they can begin the fighting of the bulls a cruel event where the bulls meet its end in the ring against a matador a skilled fancy suit wearing...

...After touchdowns, it has become customary to celebrate. These celebrations have become more tame over the years, thanks to Commissioner Roger Goodell and his anti-fun ways. Long gone are the days of using the pylon to play miniature golf or stashing a cell phone under the goal post and making a phone call. The most extreme celebration one will see nowadays is a little dance or giving the football to a kid in the crowd. Unfortunately, the media and many other people are trying to make big deal about Cam Newton celebrating his touchdowns with his signature superman celebration and then giving the ball to a kid in the crowd. This would not be a problem, except that the media is setting a double standard by cracking down on Cam Newton, who happens to be African American, and not cracking down on guys like Travis Kelce of the Chiefs or Aaron Rodgers of the Packers with his discount double check celebration. For as long as the NFL has been around, racism has existed. Even now, with the vast majority of players being African American, the media and other outlets find a way to target the African American players, specifically Cam Newton, for their touchdown celebrations. The main issue here is that Cam goes against the norm for an NFL quarterback. First, Cam is African American. Second, Cam is an outgoing personality that is not afraid to express himself. Instead of getting angry at Cam’s success and celebrations, we should be applauding him. Cam Newton is playing at an MVP...

What are the effects on society and family life? 强哥03.17期4月写作预测班第7题 一、原因 1. 教育状况改善二十多岁还在上学 2. 成本高（结婚基本条件：房、车、工作；婚后育儿费 和教育费） 3. 文化改变，家庭核心,孩子主导丁克 二、影响 1. 对社会，人口结构（出生率低劳动力，老龄人口） 2. 对家庭，不欢乐，不完整 强哥03.17期4月写作预测班第7题 • 一些国家的教育情况的改善可以在某些程度上解释它们的晚 育现象。在过去，很多人在很年轻的时候就踏入了成人社会， 然后很快就结婚生子了，而现在大多数二十岁左右的人都还 在大学里接受高等教育，这自然也就推迟了他们生孩子的时 间；促成晚育现象的另一个因素是不断上涨的结婚和育儿成 本，拿中国来说，由于不满足被广泛接受的结婚基本条 件——有房有车和有好工作，很大一部分八零后和九零后连 伴侣都还没能找，更别说生孩子了。即使对那些结了婚的人 来说，昂贵的育儿费和教育费也打消了他们生孩子的念头； 此外，变动的文化也对晚育现象起到了一定的作用。在核心 家庭的概念主导很多地方的时候，人们把孩子视为必不可少 的一部分，但现代世界中人们的观念更加多元化，很多年轻 夫妇愿意组成更具自由的丁克家庭。 。 强哥03.17期4月写作预测班第7题 • The improved education in some countries can partly explain their late childbirth. In the past, many people stepped into the adult world at an early age and started a family soon afterwards; but now most of the twenty-something choose to spend an extra four years in college to receive a higher education, which consequently postpones the birthdays of their babies. Another contributor to the phenomenon is the continuously rising cost of marriage and raising children. Taking China as an example, a big proportion of born in the 1980s and 1990s are still unable to even find partners because they fail to meet the widely accepted basic requirements for marriage, namely a car and a home, as well as a well-paid job, to say nothing of their children.
