...Is This Your Contract BUS 311: Business Law I Instructor: What is something that we all go thru at one point in our lives, something that makes our word our bond. We agree to something and we decide to put it on paper for how long no matter what comes up we stick to it. Now contract can be so testy we don’t know if we are breaching it or right on task. There are contract almost everywhere that we go, when we get a car, buy a house, even when you sign up for a credit card you are putting yourself in a contact. Now every time that you think about something that you want to get into a contract with, it's always smart to think research and make sure that what you are doing is great for you. For example people everyday get into a new car contract because they really need it. Now I have done this in the past but before we got into the contract I made sure that we were able to afford it. Now something that my wife does is takes all the information that we gathered from the car lot and made sure that it would fit in our budget. Now after a long talk we were able to come to the decision that we would take the car. But we wanted to make sure that this is something that really wanted to, I know that if we were not going to be able to afford it then we would be in more trouble for not having that ability to pay for it. Now we are really going to get into this car contract a little deeper and by that I mean we are going to see what is good and what is bad about all decision that...

...C: About five Minutes T: Do you believe that smoking is harmful to your health C: Yes. T: Do you ever experience shortness of breath? C: Sometimes. T: Have you ever burned clothing or other objects? C: Yes, many times before. T: Could you find something to do with the money you would be saving? C: Sure I could. T: Many smokers tell me that it is becoming a headache to smoke, do you agree? C: Oh yes, it's becoming harder to find a place to smoke. T: Tell me have you ever heard that smoking will decrease your life span? C: Yes, I have. T: Wouldn't it be nice to set a positive example for your children? C: Yes, they hate it when I smoke. T: As you shared with me earlier you have been smoking about 2 packs a day. Most people who smoke as much as you realize that the majority of their smoking is simply a habit that they really don't think about. The phone rings, and they reach for a cigarette. They start the car and reach for a cigarette. T: However they do say that there are a few cigarettes that they truly enjoy. Maybe after a meal, or with a cup of coffee. T: If you were going to be honest with yourself, how many cigarettes do think you really get enjoyment from C: Maybe four or five. T: Let's spend a moment and look at your smoking logically rather than emotionally. As you have said yourself, it takes you about 4 or 5 minutes to smoke a cigarette. As you have also told me there may be 4 or 5 that you really do enjoy. That means you are getting...

...a hero throughout most of the southern United States. Cesar Chavez fought for the rights of all farm workers. Cesar was frustrated that while most other jobs could create unions to bargain for better work conditions and wages, farm workers could not. Afterwards Cesar Chavez formed unions and protested for better job conditions. In the end he was able to succeed in his struggle. Even so nowadays it seems that people have forgotten all about him. So I strongly believe that most people do not honor Cesar Chavez enough as they should. I believe that they may not honor Cesar Chavez enough since most of his memorial sites are rundown, some of the sites are actually forgotten or obsolete, and lastly people have forgotten or do not care for Cesar Chavez enough...

Oshi Okomilo is the managing director for Guestlist which he describe it in his own words with the multimedia platform dedicated to spreading positive vibrations across the planet in various ways. Discussion of the theory There is an example for Smith and Miner (1983) that was cited at (Wagener et Al, 2010) distinguishing between the traits of an ‘opportunistic’ entrepreneur and ‘craftsman’ entrepreneur where the opportunistic one had a business strategy that promotes innovation and expansion, while the craftsman was more interested in the maintaining the status quo. As Feist & Feist are referenced at (Wagener et Al, 2010) there are two fundamental ways of differentiating between entrepreneurs and business owners which highlight the differences between the business owners and entrepreneurs based on their personality and competencies. Research Question My research question is to establish whether Oshi (My interviewee) is an entrepreneur...

...me maybe. One of my girlfriend favourite song. Ok hafiz lets get back to our topic for today, the case of fiddle or not to fiddle.

DJ2: Okay… Ali!! are you ready to win the ticket!? C1: Yeah! DJ1: Alright first I want to ask you what do you understand about corporate governance C1: Well I don’t expect this kind of questions being asked on a radio station, but I think I do know a little bit about corporate governance. It is a system by which a company are directed and controlled. The governance specifies the responsibilities among different participants in the corporation such as BOD, managers, shareholders and other stakeholders. It also specifies the rules and procedure for making decisions in corporate affairs. DJ2: Alright, I see you know your facts very well Ali. So let’s not waste time, here’s the question, in the fiddle or not to fiddle case, the foreign investor contribute capital and operational expense & thus control 51% of the company’s ownership while the local partner took up 49% of the shareholding. So do you think in terms of CG, it is allowed for the foreign partner to have more controlling...

Betsy said that you are going out of town and I was wondering you know, is he going to be here or not because I have such awesome news. J: Yeah great.

Now the chairman of the board, do you remember Jack Schneider? Do you remember when he came in? J: I do. G: Ok. So I have known him since I was a kid, he’s almost like an uncle to me.

G: Well yeah of course. J: Well how is he going to do that if the quarter ends, he can’t legitimately sign the deal before he gets shareholder approval? G: Ok, well technically I know what you’re saying, but I’m telling you I know this guy. He’s like, like at thanksgiving and when I was growing up we would have picnics together, and he’s given me the OK. He says he’s got these shareholders on his side, and then he’ll have this meeting that’s kind of a technical problem but other than that, he said he will do it so it’s really not a problem.

... New House Decision I have decided that in this economy it is a good time to purchase a new house. This was a very big decision to make and a lot of thought went into to the decision that my husband and I have made. The housing market is down so the prices are low and so aren’t the interest rates. I have decided to purchase a home that is not that expensive and that needs work. I am looking into different types of mortgages that have a wide range of interest rates. I want to be able to pay my mortgage and pay for the work that needs to be done. When it is all fixed up, I want to get it appraised and hopefully sell it for a big profit or maybe rent it out depending on the market and the economy then. If for any reason I will not be able to sell or rent it out I can live in it for a while and save some money for my dream home. I have done the entire math and figured out how much my bills will be and what I can afford on my own, just in case my husband’s business gets slow again. I want to be able to pay for everything on my income only. With my husband being self-employed times can get tough and I never want to lose another house again. We lost a house a couple years back due to the economy and it was one of the hardest things we had to go through. We bought at the peak of the market back in 2004 and paid a lot for a home. My husband was making really good money at the time and we never thought that business would get slow. One day the phone stopped ringing and my...

...sort of thing no one can teach you, but you pick it up by practicing it? Or maybe it’s neither: virtue is something people are born with, or something they get some other way? SOCRATES: Thessalians used to have a good reputation among Greeks, Meno – for being such good riders and for being so rich; now, it seems, they are famous for wisdom, particularly your friend and fellow citizen, Aristippus of Larissa. The credit goes to Gorgias, for when he moved to your city the leading Aleuadae – your lover Aristippus among them – fell in love with his wisdom, and so did the other leading Thessalians. Specifically, he got all of you into the habit of giving sweeping and confident answers to any questions put to you – as if you were all experts. In fact, he himself was always ready to answer any question put by any Greek; all questions answered. On the other hand, here in Athens, my dear Meno, the opposite is the case. Here it’s as though there were a wisdom drought; it has all drained away to where you come from. So if you want to put this sort of question to one of us, everyone will have a good laugh and say to you: ‘Good stranger, you must think I am a lucky man, to know whether virtue can be taught or not, or where it comes from. Me, I’m so far from knowing whether virtue can be taught or not that I don’t even know what it is.’ I’m just as badly off as all my fellow citizens in this regard, Meno, and I blame no one but myself for my utter ignorance about virtue. For if I don’t know what...

... Effective Essay Writing/ Com150 May 30, 2010 Alina Vanciu Tattoos: What is considering acceptable and what is consider extreme? Have you ever wonder what is considering acceptable and what extreme are there when it comes to tattoos. People have seen how far tattoos involve over the past 15 years. One of the biggest problems with tattoos is in the work place. Does employee have the right to bear (arms) tattoos? Now people are creating an issue by judging other people appearance with tattoos. What do you think? Even though people have the rights to bear tattoos, they are creating a workplace issues. Tattoos are getting more and more common in work place. What is employer to do? For some employer, they have a dress code that employee have to go by. For others it depends on the employer industry and type of jobs that people have to do.

...controversial topic of discussion. It has been debated for years whether it is morally right or wrong. Abortion is a unique subject in that it involves not only morality but also a large amount of theology, emotion, and law. It is also unique because it forces people to choose one side or the other, there is a very small gray area when it comes to this debate, and the side that I will fall on in this essay is the pro-choice side. In this essay I will attempt prove that abortion is not murdering an innocent fetus and that the arguments for pro-choice are stronger than the ones for pro-life. The main point of disagreement between the two sides is what constitutes life, when does human life actually begin? I believe to construct a sound argument this issue must be examined first. I will then go on to cover other various pro-choice points such as a women’s right to choose, the quality of life for the potential child, and the extreme circumstances that will disprove the notion that abortion is morally wrong. As stated in my opening paragraph, the key issue in the case of abortion is determining the status of the fetus in the sense of its humanity. It is my belief that a fetus does not qualify as a human. I agree with Warren when she states that “human being” is a term that is not often distinguished, she suggests that there are two distinct classifications in the sense of the term “human being.” One being the moral sense in which is defined as “a full-fledged member of the moral community...
