...in 1800’s. Within this invention, this scale was only to find the geologic ages, with out the information of periods or events. By this we believe the earth was formed about 4 billions years ago. This dates have been proven by analyzing samples of rocks , solar systems, and minerals. Scientist have collaborated and scientifically giving proves of objects, like how old it the oldest rock on earth or the oldest mineral and where did it come from. Material (Oldest earth rock), Age (4.0 billion years), and Methods (radiometric) our how the geologic scale combinations of specific source that tell the what scientist have documented and dated there sources. These are examples of why some assume the age of the earth is a billion years old. One big scientists believer was James Hutton studied rocks and fossils and believed the they made millions of years ago. But with every study he had to make people understand the laws of nature and the different events that life has formed within the earth.

...APPLYING AN ETHICAL THEROY FINAL PAPER ETHICS AND MORAL REASONING REBECCA WILSON JUNE 2, 2014 Applying an Ethical Theory How should employers treat their employees? While employees should be treated fairly but rarely should they be treated exactly the same, employers should treat employees fairly because when employees feel they are not administered fairly they lose respect for management , it causes buildup of resentment toward fellow coworkers , and when employees are not treated fairly they lose motivation for their work. It is an employer’s responsibility to treat all employees equally. First, Employers should treat employees fairly because when employees feel they are not administered fairly they lose respect for management. One reason this may occur could be that the employee was over looked for a promotion. The employee could have gotten a bad performance review that they don’t agree with. The employee could feel that favoritism is being shown to a coworker. Additionally, it causes buildup of resentment toward fellow coworkers. An employee could be being shown favoritism from a manager and be doing things that they should be getting reprimanded for but are not because of the relationship they have with this particular manager. For example the employee could be taking this manager out for dinner and drinks from time to time and in return the manager is looking out for that employee’s job. The manager could also be covering up this particular employees...

...The Barber Shop and Modern Racism The Barber Shop 1- I accompanied a friend of mine, Phillip, to his barber shop in his neighborhood at 49th and Prospect Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. In this neighborhood, I was instructed by Phil to carry my legal weapon being the lone Caucasian in the predominately black/Hispanic neighborhood, due to the violence of gang activity. So after being instructed to wear neutral colors such as white or black, we went so he could get a haircut. My normally clean cut self is definitely out of my environment. We park his car in a parking lot on the corner, and he is immediately greeted by a group of 3 young dark skinned black men, in dark baggy oversized clothing with brand new flat brimmed hats and Jordan basketball shoes. They exchange a handshake and we move towards the barber shop. At this point I am observed as the outsider, from the little kids playing on the corner to the gang members selling what I can assume is crack, judging by the tweaking, raggedy, twitchy individuals dropping money off and running away. We enter the barber shop that was built in, what appears to be the mid 1950’s. Inside, is a replica of the Eddie Murphy movie, “Coming to America” except for an old Jewish man there is a surprisingly, a 65 year old Asian man named Han sitting in the corner. There are 3 black barbers who address myself as cracker when I enter with phil. There are photos of famous, powerful African Americans on the wall. Dr. King, Henry Aaron...

...Corporate and Ethical Social Responsibility Assignment Question: Is CSR just another form of PR for companies wishing to get an edge on their competitor? Discuss with primary reference to IKEA. Student Name: Pui Tung CHIU Submission Date: 3 April 2015 Introduction A business activity generates both positive and negative influence for both the corporate as well as the society. The growing expectations of social, environmental and legal responsibility gradually rise in the past decades for corporate. Organizations use corporate social responsibility (CSR) to set up activities in order to achieve and respond these expectations. Jamali and Mirshak (2007) state that CSR approach helps to attract global attention and acquire a new resonance in the worldwide economy. However, Frankental (2001) claims “Do CSR is a public relations (PR) invention?” and company focus on promoting itself, getting an edge on its revivals rather than being ethic to protect the environment or maintain human welfare. Therefore, in this essay, author is going to discuss about the different between CSR as well as PR. Moreover, it will apply an example of IKEA to examine the effectiveness of its CSR in supply chain and analyze CSR as a business strategy to maintain the sustainability of business, financial control and risk management.

...Theories of Communication – MCM 511 VU LESSON 01 COMMUNICATION Defining communication Communication is seen as central to our everyday ideas about what makes life worth living. It is not surprising that academicians have attempted to unravel the secrets of the communication process. In this section of the study we will examine the theorizing and theories of this discipline of communication. To understand communication theory we need to understand the nature of communication. Nature of communication People define terms in different ways, and those differences in definition can have a profound impact on the extent to which we understand each other and the way we move forward with both academic and everyday pursuits. Given the variety of ways in which words are used and understood, we are often ill-served to search for the single, so-called correct definition of a term. In other words, it is better to evaluate definition in terms of their utility rather than in terms of their correctness. So we should not assume that there is always a single right way to define a concept. There is a great deal of variation in the definitions. Some are very abstract and some are extremely specific. Few definitions are cited below. Communication is the process by which an individual (the communicator) transmits stimuli (usually verbal) to modify the behavior of other individuals (the audience). (Hovland Janis and Kelly in 1953) Communication is the process by which we understand others and in turn...
