...There is an abundance of beauty and good in the world, but it still has plenty of problems. The world could be made better.

...HIV. On the other hand, sociologists argue that HGM will be socially bias. Moreover, others maintain that genetic modification is intended only to create the perfect human. My personal view is that I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I agree that HGM will have a huge impact in this world, and it will eliminate many epidemics we now have. On the other hand, I still insist that HGM could have some risk factors that still need to be observed and studied; also...

...attempt. In this essay I would like to argue in favor of this argument, firstly by pointing out some benefits of creating a superior human being, followed by responding to possible oppositions against each of the two interpretations of the original question. In my opinion, a superior human is a being with higher capacities than present human. Physically this may equate stronger muscles, enhanced senses, immunity against diseases, ability to shape body according to desire (Bostrom, 2005, p6). Superior human beings also have greater intellectual ability, emotional control and higher morality. With those enhanced abilities, superior humans may actually achieve what we have always thought impossible due to the limitation of our lifespan and our human mind, such as finding the answer to all philosophical questions or discovering the ultimate scientific truths (Bostrom, 2005, p5). They can help us solve the problems existing in our world nowadays, such as poverty, racial and religious conflicts, environmental problems… It should also be noted that if being superior means to be better than norm, then this concept of superiority is just temporary, because norm is variable. What we value today may not be as valuable tomorrow, and what is superior now may become normal in the future if all humans can be superior in any way they want to. To me that is one of the attractions of creating a superior human being, because it is a nonstop progress. Neither humans nor the...

...Capitalism ADI IGNATIUS: Now, your article is meant to fix a problem. What is the problem? MICHAEL PORTER: Well, the problem is I think we've gotten into a very vicious cycle in thinking about the relationship between business and society. And really, the purpose of capitalism, and the benefits of the capitalist system to society, and to meeting society's needs-- needs like improving people's lives, and improving the health of communities. We've gotten into a cycle where, I think, business has evolved and thinking about business management has evolved, in a direction that we've narrowed the scope of how you create economic value. And increasingly, companies are being perceived as creating profit at the expense of the community, not creating profit that actually ultimately benefits the communities. As a result of this, I think government has increasingly seen business as a problem, as a source of bad things in society. And the mindset is becoming increasingly to regulate, to control, to tax. And ultimately, now often political leaders are unable to pursue business-friendly public policies, because the political environment almost forces them to be tough on business. Despite the fact that we know at some deep level, business and society need each other. But we've kind of gotten ourselves into a bad place. ADI IGNATIUS: But, I think a lot of business people would argue, what we do is run businesses, and we make profits. And when we're successful we hire people. And that's...

...Upon entering the “Squat Grey Building” that is the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre; you will see the motto of the World State: Community, Identity, and Stability. These three words reflect the ultimate goal of the Utopia that is the World State. “Community” means that everyone within the Utopia must work together to maximize happiness for the society as a whole. “Identity” refers to the five classes of hereditary social groups that are created through genetic engineering. Finally, “Stability” refers to the ultimate goal of the Utopia. By creating similar people and censoring and controlling actions, the society looks to minimize conflict, risk, and overall change. The three goals of the World State are completely controlled through the use of science and technology in Brave New World, which thereby stripped its residents of all social aspects and personal freedoms. By creating the Brave New World Huxley shows the importance of technology and progress to society, which makes us stop and consider how our current progress and advancements in technology have affected our society as a whole. Before looking into how people in the World State are restricted from having any free will, it is important to define what it means to be human. In my opinion, all humans are born with free will. I would define free will as the equal and inalienable rights to be an individual who can make their own choices. The ability to act at one’s own discretion without constraint...

...Financial literacy is defined by Wikipedia as “the ability to understand finance. More specifically, it refers to the set of skills and knowledge that allows an individual to make informed and effective decisions through their understanding of finances” (Wikipedia, 2012). In the United States has taken several steps over the past decade or so to increase education and understanding of finance. The U.S. Treasury established the Office of Financial Education in 2002, which is responsible for expertise and education of persons within the Department of the Treasury. In 2003 the U.S. Congress also established the Financial Literacy and Education Commission. This department was charged with improving financial literacy of all people in the United States. We can see good and bad financial decisions being made every day just by looking around us. Even though the government has established several different consumer protection agencies some people still do not use them or don’t know how to use them. In turn this leads to bad financial decisions. Looking at the way the government and employers were running things several years ago by making financial decisions for us, “for example by providing health insurance, defined benefit retirement plans and social security” (Cooley, 2010). Now people have to make their own financial decisions for everything. Health insurance within the next few years will be decided by the family as some companies will opt out of their own coverage...

Educational, medical and non-profit organizations etc. are funded and believed to be a beneficial investment in creating an environment that’ll be in the welfare of corporate world. It includes providing monetary assistance to a cause that is directed towards creating a sustainable environment and towards the improvement of the community. It is being a good citizen voluntarily. It is also seen as a deviation from economic growth by the critics. However it is essential and has proven to be effective on a large scale where consumers prefer to stick with companies that practice Corporate Social Responsibility. * IBM study ‘Attaining Sustainable Growth through Corporate Social Responsibility’: The majority of business executives believe that CSR activities are giving their firms competitive advantage, primarily due to favorable responses from consumers. * Better Business Journey, UK Small Business Consortium: “88% of consumers said they were more likely to buy from a company that supports and engages in activities to improve society.” The application of corporate social responsibility in 60s and 70s; and the civil rights movement, consumerism, and environmentalism are the best examples that changed the way society expected the business world to act. It is an asset for validation in the society, in other words a company gets a social licence. This practice has led to employment opportunities, which is much required...

...Renewable energy sources are being used all over the world. Brilliant minds have devoted their lives to finding resources that do not leek greenhouse gases into the ozone, or cost large amounts of money. In the Video “New Energy Revolution,” it shows some of the renewable energy sources being used all over the world. For example, wind energy, solar power, Hybrid cars and using methane gas for stove fuel. These are all excellent examples of renewable energy as they are all affordable and convenient as well as being efficient. The question is, will people use them, or stay with the atmosphere damaging fossil fuels of today? Solar power is an excellent energy resource. The sun gives us free rays, so why not use them as a power source. The video shows Japan as a country which is educating their people about the risks of keeping the current resources and providing information on renewable energy sources, like solar power. Solar power is set out in a row of panels which take in the suns energy and provides power for homes and other things. Cars can now be solely power by solar panels, creating huge possibilities. If solar energy was used world wide, along with other renewable sources, the world would be cleaner and more pleasurable to live in, knowing that the greenhouse gases are under control. Hybrid cars are cars that run on electricity (charged) and some gas. The Hybrid car was invented to cut down the hazardous gases that are emitted by normal cars. The Hybrid car emits 90%...

...World Bank and IMF are lending institutions that provide funding to developing countries. These developing countries are to use this funding to support projects and/or policies that are designed to fight poverty and other economic concerns. Developing countries such as, Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC) are plagued with poverty, health concerns and lack many of the basic necessities to live. Many question whether the support from these institutions are beneficial or do they actually hinder the development of countries such as DRC. I believe that, developing countries can benefit from the aid the World Bank and IMF can provide them. With the support from the World Bank and IMF they can build hospitals, roads, schools, or put in place reforms to help become a developed country. The DRC once plagued with conflict and civil wars leaving the country in a fragile place. The outlook for the DRC looks promising, they have made significant economic progress since the wars. The World Banks shows that DRC registered a growth rate of 8.5% in 2013 and it also shows that inflation was at 53% in 2009 but it fell to 1% in 2013. The World Bank expects the economy to grow steadily in the medium term at around 7 to 8%.These results are not just from funding from the World Bank but a combination of a change in government structure and also public investments. The country has made great strides in rebuilding the country. The change in the government matrix and the funding from World Bank allowed...

...from globalization. A great example would be that of a global economy. A lot of Americans do not see the benefits or appreciate how efficient our markets are regarding supply and demand. The more efficient the market, they more growing it does. A global market that grows can have a domino effect on other markets associated with it and can encourage them to develop as well. The success of one market can be felt around the world. Globalization Benefits Globalization does many things that are hard to argue. (2 Premise) Creating jobs that are crucial for economic success, no matter the market. Along with creating jobs, globalization helps the better the infrastructures of communities, cities, and countries allowing people to live a better quality of life. Things associated with a better quality of life would be, better health care, medicine, clean water, foods and housing. What may seem like simple things to us, we often are taking them for granted. Creating a better bond between countries is also a direct result of globalization. Having a better relationships with other countries can create allies that can create economic benefits. This relationship can create both stability and security for countries that wish to remain peaceful and prosper. Establishing new processes and learning how to maintain can be a direct cause of globalization. Another benefit of globalization is the reduction of cultural barriers which strengthen the union among states. On the other hand...

...lives and all around the world but differing from one social group to another. Macionis teaches us that our way of living is influenced by the particular group in society which we belong to. Unconsciously all our choices come from what society expects from us, either being our level of education, the partner we decide to marry, the amount of kids we decide to raise or even where we decide to live. The groups we belong in are based on economic status, gender, race, religion, age group etc. for example students attending college are fairly young because that is the specific age group that society expects to attend college. Moreover the level of education students achieve is determined by the economic status they hold because as education goes higher costs also goes higher, hence the institutions chosen by high income versus low income students differ. The amount of kids we decide to raise may be influenced by the education available on contraceptives which is very limited in poor countries. Whom we decide to marry and where we live is also influenced by economic status as we can see here in Belize that major political leaders live in the cities. The sociological perspective allows us to asses the truth in common sense by analyzing exactly why some things are the way they are and not what society teaches us to believe. It also helps us to see the opportunities and constraints in our lives by giving us a better understanding of how the world works to better achieve our goals in life...
