...What are the ethical issues in relations between business and customers? Nowadays the level of competition between businesses is high because of big quantity of producers of relatively same goods and services. Because of that, companies try to do as much work as it is necessary to somehow differentiate their product from competitors. Their profit is firstly dependent on how much money people are willing to pay for the product or service (based on their income), secondly on the level of customer loyalty and thirdly on the truthfulness of the company itself. To adapt to the high-competitive environment, companies need to build strong customer relationships, it is core component in future successful sales. If people are interested and satisfied with product and service, they will continue to repurchase it and long-term relations can be established. The aim of any company is to save existing customers and attract new ones. To attract new customers company should use any tools that will work. To establish long-term successful and profitable relations, company should definitely conduct its business in ethic way. However, sometimes there are probably situations, when doing wrong things (grey market, absence of customer care, bad/cheap product) may result in much higher income. This view indicates that ethics and profit are inversely related (Bowie 1998). The situation, when stated promotion does not coincide with the reality is rather common and is a good example of unethical...

Bonus and taxes. A company has an income of $100,000 before paying taxes and a bonus. The bonus B is to be 20% of the income after deducting income taxes T but before deducting the bonus. So B = 0.20(100,000 - T). Because the bonus is a deductible expense, the amount of income tax T at a 40% rate is 40% of the income after deducting the bonus. So T = 0.40(100,000 - B). a) Use the accompanying graph to estimate the values of T and B that satisfy both equations. (35, 15) b) Solve the system algebraically to find the bonus and the amount of tax. B = .2(100,000-.4(100000 – B)) B = .2(100000 – 40000 + .4B) B = 20000 – 8000 + .08B .92B = 12000 B = $13042.48 T = .4(100000 – 13042.48) T = .4(86957.52) T = $34783 106. Free market.

...of food and start to eat healthy fresh organic food. The food that we eat on a daily basis will affect our long-term health specially the students; also, the food industry does not care about people’s health instead it cares only for money. In this paper, I will show that food industry is destroying people’s health on one hand by putting an enormous amount of sugar and on the other hand making low-fat products. What are the people really eating? Once in my human biology class Dr. Walter Hoeh said: “The food that you eat every day will not kill you now but it will kill you after twenty to thirty years from eating the food, however, eventually you will die from the food.” He explained how food affect us, when we heard the explanation we were shocked because we buy food without reading the ingredient. When you eat processed food it tastes delicious and you crave for more, but you are only eating sugar and harmful fats and that type of sugar and fats are harming the human body. According to Ms. Epel in the skinny of obesity episode 2, she said:” I'm suspicious a anything that says low-fat diet because you know that that means that they had to compensate with a lot these added sugars there's more than five ingredients its probably a processed food and there's probably not much real food in their it is almost impossible to buy those...

...time of butter. Churning efficiency illustrates the amount of fat that is still present on the buttermilk, while churning objective is to separate the fat from the milk, and the churning duration has important role on determining the butter quality. High churning effieciency is a consequence of low fat content in buttermilk. Variations on cooling and churning temperature during butter making were applied on several butters. Pre-cooling the butter deep enough is necessary to prevent undercooled fat globules present. Therefore, higher pre-cooling temperature will give higher fat content in buttermilk. It is also observed that higher churning temperature would result on lower churning time. At the same time, faster churning time will lead to higher fat content in buttermilk. The purpose of ripening is to compromise for optimal starter growth and to crystallise the fat. Lower cooling temperature leads to more triglycerides could be crystallized (solid fat). The temperature of cooling is most crucial for making butter softer and must be set at the end of lower melting range of the fat to help segregate tryglecerides. On the other hand, higher churning temperature increases liquid fat fraction. If liquid fat is present in higher proportion than solid fat, the cream churns slower or it might not churn. This is because disruption of fat globules occurs as liquid fat can spread over air bubbles. Furthermore, high fat content in buttermilk would give lower churning efficiency....

...includes 1 slice of bread or ½ cup of cereal, but a person should not just consume any type of grain. The UDSA informs that the typical person should eat at least 3 grams of whole grains per day. Whole grains contain their bran and germ. These two organs carry the majority of the grain’s fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Brown rice, whole-grain bread, and whole-grain cereal are excellent sources of healthy grains. As for dairy, 2 to 3 servings of low-fat dairy products per day is sufficient. One serving includes 1 cup of low-fat or fat free milk or 1 ½ oz. of low-fat cheese. Finally, there are the fats. Contrary to the popular diet trend of avoiding fats, “[e]veryone needs fat, and it aids in nutrient absorption, nerve transmission and maintenance of cell membranes” (“Diet & Nutrition Myths”).

...drastically increased over the last few decades. There are many causes of obesity and its effects harm the body as well as cause mental stress. Many people often debate whether parents should be held reliable for morbidly obese children. The answer lies in how the situation was caused and what is being done to deter it from happening again. There are several causes to childhood obesity. One of the most notable changes over the last four decades is the fact that dieting, eating behavior, and parenting feeding habits have changed. Studies have shown that children and adults are consuming more “junk food” (foods with high sugar, fat, and/or sodium content) and decreased the consumption of leaner meats and low-fat milk (Nietsen, Siega-Riz, and Popkin, 2002). Additionally, means from fast-food restaurants greatly exceed the recommended value of saturated and Trans fat. This type of food can also cause a high caloric intake in one meal. People who are busy tend to eat more readily available food, which can contribute to the obesity issue if done on a regular basis. Research has shown that families from lower incomes ingest more sugar in their diets than those of other income classes. Increased amount of sugar, sodium, and fat can lead to obesity and other health problems. Obesity can drastically affect one’s health and emotional well-being. Overweight and obese children could grow up to be overweight as adults (Ogden, Carroll, and Kiegal, 2008). Other than the possibility...

...these problems such as Diabetes, Obesity, and much more originate from science, and how food production scientist are trying so hard to eliminate problems like diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity and improve the health of what we are eating. Scientist are adding genetically modified ingredients that are intended to help improve the foods and stop health problems that are reoccurring but are instead only creating more elaborate health problems. There are more diseases, health problems, and unexplained weight gain that was not present before. Pollan elaborates on processed foods and all of its dangers. The methods that Pollan specifically elaborate on include the Imitation rule, Lipid Hypothesis, The dangers of refined foods and the Low -Fat campaign, intended to bring a healthier food system that would keep our entire nation at a healthier pace. Although that was the goal to bring better health to foods, that is not the case and real issues have yet to be fixed. Instead of cutting the bad sciences out of food production, they are constantly adding more ingredients and un-natural additives that are creating the issues instead of removing all genetic modifications and transferring back to all natural foods. Scientist involved in food production has convinced the consumer that processed foods that include un-natural additives are healthier and improved, but in reality that is far from the truth. The idea that scientist propose is that by adding nutrients that were not originally...

...desirable choice amongst consumers. In moderation, fast food isn’t detrimental to your health. Many Americans eat not because they are hungry, but because the food is there and it tastes good. This is when the weight is put on. Eating numerous large portions of this processed food, multiple times a day or week, is where the problem lies. Litigation raises the question of who should be held responsible for this epidemic: the corporation or the consumer? First, let me point out that nutritional information on these foods is available to the consumer both in store and online; not that one should need to see this information to know that a double stack with cheese and bacon loaded with condiments isn’t the greatest fuel for your body. These avid eaters of fast food choose not to eat healthy, knowing very well what the risks are. Litigation places responsibility on corporations rather than the individual’s responsibility for what he or she eats. There is always the option of eating healthier. A lot of fast food chains offer healthier choices. For instance, McDonalds offers choices such as salads, grilled sandwiches, low fat milk, apple juice, and reduced fat ice cream cones. If someone is going to sue McDonalds for obesity, they may as well sue Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has a variety of healthy foods and junk foods. When someone goes into Wal-Mart and purchases a bag of greasy potato chips rather than fresh fruit, they are making a choice. When someone goes to McDonalds and purchases a Big...

...The glands in human body are of two types. One is exocrine glands and the other is endocrine glands. Endocrine glands These are ductless glands that secrete substances directly into the blood and which influence metabolism, body growth, development, activity, repair and other bodily functions. The endocrine glands are the glands of internal secretion. Below are the major endocrine glands in the endocrine system; Pituitary gland – The Pituitary gland is sometimes called the "master" gland of the endocrine system, because it controls the functions of the other endocrine glands. The Pituitary gland is no larger than a pea, and is located at the base of the brain. The gland is attached to the hypothalamus (a part of the brain that affects the pituitary gland) by nerve fibres. The Pituitary gland itself consists of three sections: • the anterior lobe • the intermediate lobe • the posterior lobe The anterior lobe produces hormones stimulating the Thyroid gland, the Adrenal glands, ovarian follicles, Ovaries and Testes. It also produces hormones to stimulate milk production in females after giving birth. The intermediate lobe produces hormones that control the skins pigmentation. The posterior lobe produces hormones to increase absorption of water into the blood by the kidneys and hormones to contract the uterus during childbirth and stimulate milk production. Pineal gland – The Pineal gland is about the size of a pea, and is in the centre of the brain in a tiny cave...

...Good morning head master, assistant head master, teachers and students. I'm delighted to have the honour to be here on this special event The School Entrepreneurship Day. It is my privilege to stand here and share with you about “Why Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal of The Day?” How many of you want to be healthy? How many of you find it a challenge to eat healthily because you are always running late!When I was a kid, my mom always told me that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. It turns out she was right. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, not just for nutritional benefits, but for mental benefits as well, and there is no excuse not to eat it. You would be shocked at how many people skip their first meal. According to Adirondack Sports and Fitness, nearly one fifth of adults don't eat at all in the morning and many students don't eat breakfast either. Twenty percent of elementary students skip breakfast and sixty percent of students ages between 9 to 15 skip breakfast. A lot of people, especially children, go through the day without having breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they are not hungry or don’t have time for that and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone especially children should eat breakfast before going to school. The purpose of this talk is to show the importance of breakfast, especially for school children. Studies show that eating breakfast everyday is important in...

One would have to sit down at their house all day without going on the internet or T.V. to not be introduce to any type of processed foods via advertisements or products itself. Stephanie Soechtig wrote and produced the documentary film Fed Up in 2014 detail the affects of how the high-processed foods that people consumed contribute more to obesity than the lack of exercise. One of the most prominent ideas in the documentary is that the powerful food industry puts personal interest and greed over the well-being of the Americans (especially the youth) by giving half-truths, lies, and denying the detrimental affects of processed foods....
