The essay will be mainly focus on using six pathways to make decision in China market. The right decisions will make investors invest on them and they can raise money from them. Main body Decision making can be made through six different ways. Throughput Model highlights the various pathways in which ethical reasoning can affect a decision may be helpful for future decision. The first pathway is P-D (perception-decision). The fashion designer of ABC Company is a British. As what he thinks, fashion is to pursue personal’s beauty. So the clothes he designs are tightly shape or sexy which can represent a beauty of human body. The company sell them to China. As a result, it does not receive an expectation marketing share. The reason is that the designer is based on its own perception (P) for fashion without considering Chinese traditional culture before making a decision (D). Clothing forming China is not as important as that in UK or US. Chinese pay more attention to the artistic conception not the character’s body. It can also be seen that Chinese and Americans have different values. Americans are more likely to realize their own value, while Chinese are more likely harmonious. As the information is incomplete, or inadequately understood, only based on perception, the company could not make cloths...

...his death, and confirmed in 1535 by his successor, Pope Paul III (1468-1549) who was considered the first Counter Reformation Pope. As a religious artwork it was the largest single fresco mural painting of the 16th century (www.everypainterpaintshimself.com/). It was part of the mannerism movement in art and architecture between the 14th and 15th century to show the distortion and exaggeration of human proportions to represent an ideal of beauty rather than its natural form. The last judgement is depicted as a Counter-Reformation painting that reflected embarrassment of the Roman Catholic Church after the failure to stop the protestant reformation (Kedler, 1969, p 160). Furthermore it was created after the Sack of Rome in 1527 by troops of Emperor Charles V, in which compelled the Pope to abandon the Vatican and flee to Orvieto. These events were perceived by some as an indication of a divine wrath by God. The painting was presented to the Catholic community as universal message of the second coming of Christ and the final and eternal judgement by God of all humanity. The Last Judgment was a very controversial piece at the time because, unlike other artists, Michelangelo portrayed the subjects naked in which demonstrated the lack of importance that riches would have at the end of the world when humanity stands before the judgment of Christ and God (www.visual-arts-cork.com/). Unlike his earlier...

...ofphilosophy dealing with the nature of art, beauty, and taste, with the creation and appreciation of beauty.[1][2] It is more scientifically defined as the study ofsensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentimentand taste.[3] More broadly, scholars in the field define aesthetics as "critical reflection on art, culture and nature."[4][5] More specific aesthetic theory, often with practical implications, relating to a particular branch of the arts is divided into areas of aesthetics such as art theory, literary theory, film theory and music theory. An example from art theory is aesthetic theory as a set of principles underlying the work of a particular artist or artistic movement: such as the Cubist aesthetic.[6] Contents Edit The word aesthetic is derived from the Greek αἰσθητικός (aisthetikos, meaning "esthetic, sensitive, sentient"), which in turn was derived from αἰσθάνομαι (aisthanomai, meaning "I perceive, feel, sense").[7] The term "aesthetics" was appropriated and coined with new meaning in the German form Æsthetik(modern spelling Ästhetik) by Alexander Baumgarten in 1735. Aesthetics and the philosophy of artEdit Aesthetics is for the artist as Ornithology is for the birds. — Barnett Newman[8][9] For some, aesthetics is considered a synonym for the philosophy of art sinceHegel, while others insist that there is a significant distinction between these closely related fields. In practice aesthetic judgement refers to the sensory contemplation or appreciation...

...Introduction The modern lifestyle of Filipinos suggests that we are slowly inclining to less physical activity and unhealthy eating. Surveys found that we are more into consumption of convenience and fast food. If you were to observe, our eating is patterned to consuming and patronizing food that are processed which are heavy in fat, salt, preservatives and other additives. This habit exposes us to different diseases, most particularly to obesity. The number of cases of obesity in the Philippines is continuously increasing. This has been proven by a research conducted in 2013 by the Philippine Association for the Study of Overweight and Obesity Incorporated. According to them, three out of ten Filipinos are suffering from obesity. Moreover, Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology has supported these findings and claimed that it is a “growing epidemic”. The results also show that there are more cases of female obesity than male. Obesity is commonly associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and mortality. (Corbin & Welk, 1970) For women, obesity implies more risk in developing complications due to maternity. Before, it was only a term for the condition of a person who suffered from exposure to unhealthy living that created excess weight. (Fahey, Insel & Roth, 2011) An article in the Journal of Obesity revealed that many obese people suffer from depression and low self-appreciation. In the study, it was observed...

...inform your writing. Ever since the settlement of the British in Australia, the environment and indigenous culture became a thing of the past, consumerism took the forefront over spiritual connection to the land and Its history, mans sole concern was to 'develop' the land by turning the trees into houses, no matter the ramifications of his actions. Andrew McGahan's, The White Earth explores ideas of the destruction of the environment as a result of white settlement in Australia, and how this has impacted man's spiritual connection to the land. Such ideas are conveyed through the use of language, juxtaposition and point of view. Many language techniques are utilised throughout this text in order to express ideas about the beauty of nature and how this beauty is being destroyed through the careless acts of man. The use of symbolism implies a much broader and deeper meaning to the words chosen by the author, for example when Mcgahan writes, “There were only these notches hewn in the tree trunks, slowly disappearing.” He intends for a much broader interpretation of the disappearance of footholds in the trees; he is commenting on the slow disappearance of the Aboriginal culture through the use of symbolism. Another way in which McGahan employs language techniques in order to explore ideas is through the use of personification; the author brings the environment to life through personification as a means to provoke sympathy from the reader. “Bizarrely shaped fungi, feeding off the rotting...

...Three Issues Considered The first question I will address is “Are science and philosophy closely interrelated, or are they different in their goals and methods? Science supposes that there is only one proper basis of knowledge, it is experiment and rational analysis of nature. Philosophy tends to say that there are many ways of understanding, just as there are many forms of knowledge and many beginnings of that knowledge. In the beginning there were sciences but no actual scientist. They were all known as philosophers. Philosophy invented intellectual thought and rigorous reasoning which in turn is what invented the sciences. Philosophy continues to influence science by questioning the science's weaknesses. Some people think that the sciences can stand apart from philosophy. That philosophy is all questions, never giving a real answer. Where as, science is a methodology that is based on research and experimentation. “The specific sciences cannot and should not break their connections with true philosophy” (Spirkin, A.). By doing this they would have no questions for them to research and experiment. According to Wolff, the Milesians who are considered philosophers were also scientist. Thales who is known as the first philosopher was an astronomer. By his knowledge of the stars he could predict the weather (Wolff, 14). “Following Thales were the Milesians Anaximander and Anaximenes, who expanded and developed speculative theories about the basic components of nature and...

...Beauty is in the eye of the beholder because each and every person has their own idea of what beauty is. There is no universally accepted standard of what a beautiful person or what a aesthetic art looks like, so people can set their own standards. I agree most with Ducasse as there may be a generalization of what is considered beauty but everybody make judgement based on their subjectivity and be their own judge of what art is. This is from the essay Taste cannot be Disputed Beardsley as the “Aesthetic Skeptic.” ----- “the apparent reasons are not genuine reasons, or cannot be compelling reasons, like the ones we find in other fields” ----“though it is true that you can’t change a disliking into a liking by arguments, that doesn’t imply that you can’t change it at all, or that we cannot argue whether or not it ought to be changed Aesthetic tastes cannot be disputed; Tastes are something physiological and environmental that a person acquires over the period of time and that is unique to everyone, each reason defending a taste is merely just a mere preference by a person because there are no objective standards for judgment, and finally argument cannot change taste. I think some of the Beardsley’s points against the aesthetic skeptic; still, I don’t think I should agree with the fact that taste can be disputed. There is no disputing on Collingwood’s view amusement and magical art.I like his statement about what he said about art simply function to entertain or amuse...

...teenager trying to go through high school I am surrounded by the media altering my reality. The media acts as ‘dictator’; someone who has complete control over me and an overwhelming pressure to be something that it wants me to be. In the magazines I read and the shows I watch on TV, an image is portrayed to me of what beauty is. In the words of Leunig “the limbs are longs, the smile loaded and the eyes with promise, the bottom tightly bound”. However, after reading Leunig’s article I have come to realise that this image the media portrays is nearly impossible. I now see that the media affects the way I view my reality. How am I supposed to look like that? I often question looking at these beautiful women and handsome men. The media have an overwhelming command that ‘thou shall be attractive’, but Leunig’s article teaches me that beauty is subjective and the task of trying to be like the people in the magazine is a huge weight that cannot be achieved. Through the article I now know that reality is based on the media that we encounter. The world is a harsh and judging reality and because of this many people choose to leave it. The way in which the media show beauty, means that anyone who is remotely different or unique is harshly judged by their peers. We all have that need to be somewhat attractive and like me,...

...Frankenstein is a novel that explores what can happen if one decides to go against the laws of nature with science. Victor frankenstein, an intelligent but selfish man, created a monster in what I believe to be an attempt to make up for the loss of his mother. The monster itself was not necessarily a “monster”, but after horrible treatment and cruel judgements by people including it’s own creator it became one. The people reacted so negatively to the creation because it was unnatural; this was a recurring idea throughout the novel. In contrast to the unnatural monster, there is an emphasis on the beauty of nature and of what is natural, along with many other elements of romanticism. Frankenstein calls attention to the relation of nature and beauty in contrast to the idea of unnatural monstrosities. Beauty and Nature is a clear motif in the novel, and this can be seen primarily with the monster itself. It was clearly not natural as it was made by a man using pieces of decomposing humans, and people reacted to it as such. the unnatural creation was anything but beautiful; in fact, it was frightening. The only reason that the monster was treated as it was, was its appearance. This can be seen specifically when the monster was living near the family in the cottage. The old blind man was welcoming and kind to the monster, but the children, who could see the hideous unnatural creation, forced it to leave and then separated themselves from the monster further by moving. Along with...

...‘Illness is simply a matter of bad luck, bad judgement, or bad genetics’ is a statement that expressed how health can be affected by the ‘luck’ of the environment that an individual is born into. The aforementioned statement expressed how health can be affected through a bad judgement of misdiagnoses made by health practitioners. The statement then declared how having bad genes allows an individual to become more susceptible to specific disease (Marvell, 2012). This statement focused on how health is influenced by psychological (bad judgement) and biomedical (bad genes) determinants, for example, being overweight is seen has having bad genes however, sociocultural factors such as gender, media and age can also largely affect an individuals’ health status. In 2002 the World Health Organization (WHO) released the Madrid Statement, saying: "to achieve the highest standard of health, health policies have to recognize that women and men, owing to their biological differences and their gender roles, have different needs, obstacles and opportunities." Meaning that the needs and barriers of both women and men (for example, women are more likely to develop breast cancer than males) are a major influence on the health of the individual and if the Government wants to achieve high national health, knowing the needs and overcoming the barriers must be addressed. A bad luck obstacle males have to face is the expectancy to participate in labour intensive jobs such as being a constructor and...

...Hi, Joseph. Thank you for sharing your representative artifact choices. For the Renaissance Era, I too chose to reflect on “The Last Judgement” by Michelangelo. It was just too dynamic to scroll past during my research. Prior to this class, I had never seen that particular work. Yes, I have been exposed to other areas of the Sistine Chapel, but never The Last Judgement. I truly do not know how I could have missed it. It is quite phenomenal. It is one of the busiest paintings I have ever seen. When I think of Michelangelo, “The Pieta” immediately comes to mind. His ability to breathe life into his creation shows his passion for what he does. Like “The Pieta,” Michelangelo paid so much attention to detail. Every facet of the judgement...

...Cameron Russell´s purpose is to inform her audience how beauty is not as significant as society makes it out to be. Russell stresses how winning the genetic lottery would not cause one to feel more confident or become genuinely happy. However, the author herself is someone who is considered beautiful in the eyes of most people, yet she asserts that her lifestyle has been altered due to her appearance. Cameron Russell attempts to persuade her audience by reason and logic. This can be seen when she states that in 2007 when an inspired NYU PH student counted all the models on the runway, out of 677 models only 27 or 4% were non white. Russell also provides additional statistics and facts to support her claim of how beauty should not be idolized. She states ¨53% of 13 year old American girls are unhappy with their bodies, this grows to 78% by the time they are 17 (Maine,2011),¨ The author's intended audience are young girls who are insecure about their body image. Cameron Russell tries to reach out to her audience by showing them how looks are not important, and that one's physical appearance will not make...

Beauty has been among the ultimate values, with goodness, truth, and justice. “It is a major subject among different philosophers such as the ancient Greek, Hellenistic, and medieval, and was central to 18th and 19th-century thought, as represented in treatments by such thinkers as Hutcheson, Hume, Kant; Hegel, and Santayana.” Different philosophical issues concerned the objectivity and subjectivity of beauty. In other words, philosophers argued whether is beauty a property of some objects (like mass, shape, etc.) or is beauty a judgment of the mind observing the object (an emotion, feeling or evaluation). Subjective theory of beauty existed primary in the Antiquity and the middle Ages, while the modern period retained the objective theory...

...Women constantly face judgement in today’s society. I witness it first-hand with experiences from my girlfriend. Whether she’s talking about being judged or judging other women, it is always brought up somehow. However, I do notice that she is not always judging them in a bad way. The majority of the time she gawks over a woman’s beauty and how she desires to appear like the beautiful women. In order for her to have felt this way, she must feel as if she too is being judged by other women. A feeling of being judged causes people to worry and want to be like others, ultimately causing mental health issues. Concerns about what other people think about a specific individual can cause a person to worry. We see this too many times in today’s society...
