...The first piece of evidence that shows reasonable doubt is the uniqueness of the knife. In the play, the storekeeper identified the knife and said it was the only one of its kind he had in stock. Also, one juror stated, “it’s a very strange knife. I’ve never seen one like it before in my life. Neither had the storekeeper who sold it to him.” (Pg. 23-24). Later, juror 8 reaches into his pocket and takes out a knife and states, “Look at it! It’s the same knife!”…”I hot it in a little junk shop around the corner from the boy’s house. It costs two dollars.” (Pg. 24) After discussing the uniqueness of the knife, the jurors decided there was reasonable doubt when the old man’s testimony came into the question. In this play, the second piece of evidence that shows reasonable doubt is the old man’s testimony. An old man lived right underneath the room where the murder took place. He heard loud noises at 12:10 from upstairs. It sounded like a fight to him and he heard the boy say, “I’m gonna kill you.” He heard a body fall a second later, and he saw the boy run out of the apartment. The old man called the police and they found a knife in the father’s chest. The old man states that he took 15 seconds to get out of bed and see the boy run down the stairs. However, juror 8 proves that the old man’s timing was off because it is impossible for an old man, who carries two canes, to walk and see the boy run out of the building in 15 seconds. Also, the jurors prove that the old...

...Boston Subway System “One of the biggest plans unveiled by Governor Patrick is a $1.3 billion project by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to replace and increase the capacity of the 44-year-old Red Line subway cars and the 32-year-old Orange Line cars.”It was reported by the Associated Press in the news “Patrick announces major transportation projects” on the website “http://www.boston.com” on October 22, 2013. We take trains frequently in our daily life in Boston. It’s good news for the people living here. The subway system is an important part of Boston transportation, which has a long history of over one hundred year. But it is too antiqued for the contemporary people, so there are many suggestions and projects to improve the subway system. Compared with the Wuhan subway system, I think some suggestions and projects are impractical for the improvement of Boston subway system, therefore I want to oppose them. Most of the people in Boston thought that the subway system lacks late-night or overnight service. People want to extend the service hours.(Annear) But from my point of view, the Boston subway system’s service hours should be reduced. First, I often ride the orange line at night when I go to the school gym to do some exercise after supper and stay very late. So I can know that very few people ride trains after 10:00 p.m; there are usually less than ten people inside every subway car. It is obvious that the extension of service hours is a waste...

...unexplainable. A constant in human culture, religion has concretely been about the relationship between either a supernatural deity or supernatural deities and nature. It sets up the morality of the people, explains the transitoriness of life, but most importantly, it gives people a sense of meaning and purpose. Now, with all those things in mind, replace religion, in the most general and abstract sense, with Scientology. Scientology, since its birth, has been the subject of criticism not only by outsiders, such as the media, but by former members, as well. As an outsider, I hope to give as objective of an overview as possible of the religion of Scientology. In this paper, I will be a giving historical summary of the religion, detailing the founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and much of his early life, the many ways in which Scientology works and is applied as a religion, as well as the religion’s current status, drawing from conclusions made by critics and proponents. Birth and History Lafayette Ronald Hubbard was born in Tilden, Nebraska on March 13, 1911. As the son of a Navy officer, Hubbard moved around a lot. One such place he moved to was Montana, where he has claimed that he “befriended members of the local Blackfoot tribe”. And later, as a teenager, he explored rural parts of Asia on his own, stressing how during both experiences he learned “secrets” from the respective cultures. After a couple of failed attempts at passing the entrance exam for the United States Naval Academy, he enrolled...

...more difficult for today’s managers. Today, if a company is to be successful, management and the leadership groups must consider many things besides the bottom line. Management must ensure that their vision and mission statements reflect the true meaning of the company’s goals and objectives. This communication of the goals and objectives can be done in several different methods. Organizations must take a hard look at their management and leadership styles and if fits into the culture the organization. Management must also ask themselves if they are developing company loyalty from the employees and if the working environment is encouraging employees to be committed to the fulfilling the goals and objectives of the company, thus being about motivated employees for the success of the company. Management should also be willing to solicit feedback from employees, shareholder and customers to determine how they are communicating a common message of what management desires the organizational culture to be and to ensure that the vision and mission statement is clear for all to see. This paper will look at two leaders in the communications field, Comcast and Starband Communications. We will look at issues that each company has in common with Gene One, and how they choose to deal with similar growth and employee loyalty issues. In each company’s analysis, we will indentify issues and problems, similar to which Gene One experienced. Then we will highlight how the...

...Scientology The second half of the 20th century was the time when new, alternative religious movements sprang to life and started their triumphant parade across the world, attracting millions of people to their allegedly innovative concepts of faith and salvation. This religious expansion, unpredicted and unexpected in the middle of the century, the diversity of schools and teachings, as well as their significant impact on the lives of many people are a phenomenon that demonstrates a high potential of such theories and practices. Their evolution was facilitated by spiritual requirements of people who were seekers of new ideas and formats of faith. These people distrusted traditional religions and were often disillusioned and disappointed by orthodox tenets and concepts; they wanted to find more updated and socially adapted religious teachings. Scientology is a dramatic example of a new religion of this kind, and its analysis provides an insight in the complex, controversial, and sometimes perplexing domain of today’s religious and spiritual practices. Officially recognized as religion in the USA, Scientology was denied this status in European countries, for example, the UK, Germany, France, and others. Investigating an impact of this popular religious practice on individuals, groups, and communities is significant for understanding the effects, possible implications, and hazards it has in store for society. The Origin of Scientology and its Founder Scientology, a religious...

...Harvard Business School 9-395-016 January 3, 1995 3M: Profile of an Innovating Company As a perennial winner in Fortune magazine’s annual poll of American CEOs to determine “The Ten Most Admired Corporations,” 3M was almost universally recognized as one of the world’s most consistently innovative companies. Indeed, Fortune described it as “a kind of corporate petri dish that fosters a culture of innovation.” In an era when large companies were struggling to reignite employees’ entrepreneurial spark, 3M was the benchmarking standard. Yet, in November 1991, as “Desi” DeSimone assumed the job of CEO in the midst of a worldwide recession, he was more focused on 3M’s uncertain future than on its glorious past. Beyond the stagnating sales and declining margins he knew would be reflected in his first annual report (see Exhibit 1), DeSimone was aware that the company faced some longer term challenges. With a portfolio of over 100 core technologies being leveraged into some 60,000 products which it sold in 200 countries, some observers were beginning to ask whether this $14 billion giant with over 88,000 employees could continue its extraordinary innovation-powered growth and expansion. It was a question that the new CEO knew he would have to confront honestly. A lot more than the continued admiration of his Fortune 500 peers depended on it. The Beginning: Foundations of 3M’s Values In 1902, on the basis of a report that deposits of corundum, an abrasive mineral, had been found...

...ERIN BROCKOVICH (2000) Cast: Julia Roberts, Albert Finney. Directed by: Steven Soderbirgh Screenplay: Susannah Grant The motion picture titled ‘Erin Brockovich’ is written by Susannah Grant and directed by Steven Soderbirgh and is based on true events between the years 1993 and 1996. Released in the year 2000, this Hollywood movie revolves around two characters: Erin Brockovich an American environmentalist and paralegal official. The other character is the US based power and gas firm ‘Pacific Gas and Electric Company’ (PG & E) which is responsible for providing gas and electricity utilities to almost 2/3rds of the northern Californian population. The events surrounding a much publicized and broadcasted case involving PG & E and residents of Hinkley, California expose a plethora of business and general ethical issues that form a sumptuous academic feast for any business student. Before exploring the central characters of this story and inspecting the varied moral and ethical positions adopted by them in the movie, we must engage ourselves in creating a brief background study of the people and the institutions that play a pivotal role in this intriguing drama of business ethics and it’s relation with human psyche and actions. Main Characters: a. Erin ‘Patty’ Brockovich: Erin is a thirty three years old - twice divorced single mother of 3 children by the name of Matthew, Katy and Beth who age 8 years, 6 years and 9 months respectively in the beginning...

...The popularity has information systems has increased since the 1950’s. Information systems allow for the processing and analyzing massive amounts of data with the ability to create accurate and timely reports. Information systems have led to the development of more department specific systems such as accounting information systems (AIS), human resource system (HRM), and manufacturing planning resource systems (MRP). The development of these systems has given companies a competitive advantage. The accounting process has been shaped and affected in a positive direction. AIS have been integrated with programs to track and process inventory control system (Ashhari, Kharuddin, Nassir, 2010). Ackoff’s Management Misinformation Systems Russell L. Ackoff created a diagnosis of the five misconceptions about management’s information systems. The first assumption was that there was a need for more information but on the contrary they really had an overabundance of information. More information than they could possibly retain which may lead to information overload. And in this assumption Ackoff describes that common rationality was incorrect and the majority of information managers were given just was not relevant. Ackoff believed that they needed an increase of relevant information. Ackoff concluded that this meant that there should be special attention given to constructing data banks, coding, indexing, and updating files (Romney, Steinbart, 2012). The second assumption is that managers...

...| What is the Nature of Law | Ian ToughS211177 | | | | | WHAT IS THE NATURE OF LAW 1 What is the nature of Law? What is the Law? Does humanity have any regard for laws?Do all societies have the same laws? The answer to these questions, are thought to have two competing answers. The classical answer is provided by natural law theory, which is frequently characterized as asserting that there is an essential relationship between law and morality or justice. The modern answer is provided by legal positivism, which, as developed by John Austin, asserted that law is the command of the sovereign backed by the threat of punishment. Arguments over the nature of law focus on a revised set of positions. Legal positivism is represented by analytic legal positivists, like H.L.A. Hart, Joseph Raz, and Jules Coleman. The natural law tradition is defended by John Finnis. And a new positition,interpretivism is represented by Ronald Dworkin. The "What is law?" question has been approached by contemporary legal philosophers who have over many decades attempted to define the term. For example, the sociological tradition includes important work on the nature of law by Max Weber and Niklas Luhmann. . Natural law theory is strongly associated with classical and medieval thought, especially Aristotle, Roman jurisprudence, and St. Thomas Aquinas. There are several challenges associated...

...effective if it is long term and can be combined with some individual therapy. Group therapy can help a person break out of their comfort level and improve their social skills. It is important for the patient to realize that they are not alone and that there is nothing wrong with asking for help. Advantages of group therapy: 1. Group Therapy usually costs much less compare to individual therapy. 2. Meeting different people with the problems can give a wider perspective of your own problems. 3. Listening to other people helps understand that you can view and handle problem more than one way. 4. Others people can provide more encouragement and emotional support. 5. Group therapy is of special value in treating problems involving communication with others, such as social phobia. Disadvantages of group therapy: 1. The most common disadvantage of group therapy is that the therapy is generalized, and not always specific to the needs of the individual. Not all clients receive any more attention than any others, so it is often unfocused and impersonal. 2. In any situation where there is more than one person, there are going to be different personalities. Different personalities can obviously clash when they disagree; therefore changing the outcome of the session. A dominant personality can also influence the way the rest of the group acts, which can make it difficult for others to air their own opinions. 3. There are individuals that get nervous about...
