Essay on Tobacco Companies and Cigarette Packaging
Should tobacco companies be required to include graphic images of health problems on cigarette packaging?
Explain how this issue relates to and why is it significant to the legal and/or ethical environment of business?
Graphic warning labels on cigarette packs are important in that they discourage smokers from smoking too much, avoid smoking at home and in front of pregnant women and children. Warning labels also help them understand risks associated with the habit of smoking and those who will feel the effect might quit smoking. The tobacco industries in most countries are however opposed to this idea claiming that there is no legality in it. For instance, the EU Court of justice had ruled against Japan Tobacco International and British American Tobacco. These two companies had argued that the directive requiring them impose large health warnings on cigarettes was a violation of the right to property and trade mark protection. But whenever legal challenges have been made by some of these industries courts have ruled against them. This is because the tobacco health consequences are many and has become an urgent global health problem that needs legal intervention (Arthur, 2006)).

Why is this issue of interest to you?
Warning labels are important in that they increase the public knowledge about risks one might face when using tobacco, which can influence their decisions about smoking in the future. Warning labels are the only effective ways the government can use to communicate to the public concerning the health risks of tobacco as they contain both words and pictures. (more…)

Foreign Investment Arbitration case study:
Introduction
To complete a foreign investment plan, there is a signing of foreign investment Agreement that legally binds the parties involved in the investment plan. A bilateral foreign investment involves two sovereign states with terms of agreement that tie the parties to undertaking direct foreign investment in infrastructure, project financing, job creation and economic participation through improvement of revenue collection. As may be understood, the investment treaties are subject to breaches just like any other agreement. This is particularly important because of the increased number of investment agreements between countries and the subjectivity the terms of the agreements have on climatic changes and economic dynamics. Due to the possible losses that would go with such changes that bear direct impact on the investing country, the need to enforce arbitration for breaches of terms of contract and the rights of the investor is called for. These, notwithstanding, the host countries are also fighting to ensure the welfare of their citizens and protection of fundamental wellbeing of their economies.

With this understanding, we consider this case of Fusia and Lassia, where an agreement of direct foreign investment was subjected to environmental effects and policy changes in the host country. Given the anticipation of possible conflicts in such agreements, there are investment agreement arbitration options that the parties in the agreement can visit to seek redress of their case. The determination from such arbitration cases may, as matter of fact, affect the decision by the investing country on investment in the host country. In this case in which Falcoa from Fusia has been adversely affected by the policy changes in the host country, Lassia, we lay on the table the facts of the case that necessitates arbitration, similar cases and the rulings on breaches of agreements in foreign investment partnerships and later o look at the argument and counterargument under the given circumstances.

Comparing and Contrasting Two Poems:
The poet William Wordsworth wrote a poem by the name World Is Too Much with Us. In the poem, the author is uncertain about the world of the First Industrial Revolution for being immersed in materialism, as well as, making itself far from nature, and the poems fourteen lines are written in iambic pentameter(Phillips 54). On the other hand, Hopkins wrote a poem entitled God’s Grandeur. However, Hopkins used this poetry to show his religious commitment, obtaining his images from the natural world. Hopkins saw nature inspiring, as well as, establishing his presumptions of inscape together with interest to discover the sign of God in every living thing. With regard to these presumptions the acknowledgment of an object’s unique character, which was imparted upon that object by God, draws us nearer to Christ. Likewise, the magnificence of the natural work together with an individual’s appreciation of such beauty assists people to worship God. In general, the two poets base their arguments on matters concerning the nature. (more…)

Revelation a short story by Flannery O’Connor depicts the life lived by many Southerners who claim to have a personal relationship with God. The story clearly outlines the pretense in Christianity, many claim to follow God’s teaching yet they act contrary. Mrs. Turpin, a church leader clearly brings out the character of judgmental and Christians who harbor racisms in their hearts instead of taking all individuals as God’s created beings that are equal.

O’Connor uses symbolism to illustrate this well; we also find imagery being incorporated to bring out the grace of God in the general life. On arrival at the doctor’s office with her husband Claud, Mrs. Turpin starts assessing the patients in the waiting room in her own mindset instead of minding Claud’s ulcer inflicted at the farm by a cow kick. We find clear descriptions of, a pleasant-smart lady, a well-dressed, gray-haired old lady, a “white-trash” lady, her mother and son with dirty clothes, an adolescent with acne. Mrs. Turpin also occupies some of her nights classifying people as; home owners, home and land owners and so on. O’Connor uses Imagery to describe this trait. (more…)

Teacher observation method is a quantitative method of measuring classroom behavior through direct observation, the events that the teacher discerns and records in per taking his responsibilities. The instructor collects data that focus on the frequency of behaviors that occur in the classroom and takes into account the duration taken in per taking that foreign language. This involves giving students brief and clear explanations alongside a wealth of exercises for them to practice to perfection. This enables students to practice what they have learned, receive feedback from the tutors and apply the concept in writing about the foreign language. I observed the following teaching aspects when I attended a foreign language.

The teacher gave the students an outline of the topic of the day in the foreign language before the commencement of the class. The teacher gave students course outlines that guided the students through the prospects of the topic. This aspect got a positive feedback from the students since it gave them a structure of what they were supposed to per take all through the lesson. The students took 15 minutes to proofread the course outline so that they could make modifications, own interpretations, slants and theories about the topics in the foreign language (Trimble, 79).

The demand and therefore price of some goods is determined by their price elasticity of demand. Since Education is nowadays a need, producers of this needs have deemed it possible to increase price of any input related to academics as no one can do without it. The price for holiday and part time tuition has reached its highest levels with the prices of some text books also unaffordable. If one was in this business (producing text books and that of teaching students during tuition) he could have made a lot of profits because he is in a position to increase the price without altering the quantity demanded. In situations where people’s income is in collaboration with other stakeholders comes in to sponsor education by buying text books and subsidizing the cost of education. The main reason behind this logic is that these services have their price elasticity of demand as perfectly inelastic. An example to product that depicts the same characteristics is alcohol and cigarettes. (more…)

The main reason as to why the world is slowly transforming into a noisy world is due to the effect that psychologist describe as the cocktail party effect. This effect has really made the world to be a world where people are unable to air their views but only a few individuals can. Activists who stand for noble intentions also find themselves in this quagmire such that they end up being tagged as extremists just like those who blew up the Twin Towers.

Introduction
Violent media is one of the issues in the modern world, where parents, teachers and the society in general are increasingly worried over the effect of violent media on the developing children. For instance, the society has fears that children who are exposed to violent media will grow to be violent people, giving way to a violent society. However, Gerald Jones, in his argument ‘violent media is good for kids’, says that in contrary to what the society believes, or is made to believe, violent media builds strong, courageous and effective group in the society. In addition, violent media helps the children learn the reality within our society, which is ridden with violence in several ways.

The critical analysis
While it appears that Gerald Jones is wrong in his arguments, there is an aspect of truth at least from his case studies he took in his research. In addition, while no one would support exposure of the young children to violence and violent scenes, not at least in a stable civilization like America, it is quite evident that violent media provides the children and the young people in the society with certain lessons in life. It becomes clear that the children that Jones took as a sample in his research and presented in the essay are an indication of the contrasting aspects of what our society believes. For example, Jones talks of his own childhood life, in which the parents and the teachers instilled fear in him, separating him from the reality and the age mates. In the name of educating the social ethics and morals in our children, we tend to alleviate them from the reality, which actually makes the children develop a characteristic of poor perception of the reality within their society. Consider the case of Jones in his childhood; the mother and the teachers made assumptions that the world or rather the society is perfect- that there is no violence, and if it exists, the children should not be exposed or made to learn of its existence. Further, they assumes that the children will never encounter or be involved in a violent scene, which means that they cannot defend themselves, having been taught to either avoid violence or walk away from the scene. This is quite wrong because at one time in life, each person is likely to encounter such as scenario, where self-defense or an intervention is necessary. While we may think that Jones is exaggerating his views on his life, there is some truth in that the contemporary world is quite complex, with cases of violence reported each day in our lives.

Integrated Marketing Communications plan for the product – Al Fresco Chicken Sausage
Al Fresco Chicken Sausage has been in the market for many years. Mostly the company targets people between 24 and 60 years as their prime product buyers. However, during the last couple of years this bracket target has become saturated hence minimal company growth. The first order of business as the new Marketing Communications Manager of Al Fresco Chicken Sausages is to identify a new target base for the company to grow and expand. By identifying a new target, the company will tray and resole the current flat sales that are affecting the company. The reason why this is the first order of business is because the company has identified its customer target as saturated and not providing any sales. After seven successful years in the field, the company has realized that the market has been saturated and no market feasibility in customer selection (Kerin & Peterson, 2007).

Al Fresco Chicken Sausage Company aims at changing its target selection keeping in mind the demographic and psychographic factors that would affect the target. While considering these factors, one should look at the response the product. It is given in the market values, lifestyles, attitudes, and interest from the psychographic factors while choosing a target for the market. With careful consideration, the company chooses a target between the age of 15 and 25. This target will enable the company to achieve what it goals. This is because the company will have narrowed its target selection to an audience hence reducing chances of getting priorities mixed up. For instance, by narrowing its customer target and specifically getting teens as its customer targets the company will be able to establish its self easily in the market (Mauborgne, 2005). (more…)

Report on The Qualitative and Quantitative Research Phases:
Australia has become well known for its ever increasing market for perfume and also the fact that is world’s leading producer of the same product. Because of the increasing numbers of perfume manufacturers, any business in the industry has to go the extra mile to be able to sustain its market share and achieve growth in the market. Consumer needs and expectations have also changed as more manufactures have come up with better products which are also affordable (James, 2009). Although the market for cosmetics and especially perfume is unisex, that is, it is for both men and women, women provide a bigger market and their perfume needs are just a little bit more than those for men. To cut to the chase, the market for women with regard to cosmetic perfume and especially designer perfume is bigger and more complicated than that of men. As Joseph (2008) says, to understand the dynamics of the designer perfume for women would require one to understand a lot about the consumer behavior in women. Understanding this will be the key to success for nay business targeting women as the market for (designer) perfume. According to Willson (2009), unlike in the past, designer perfume has become more and more popular even where cost is an issue and continues to displace generic perfume form the shelf. Therefore, the success of any perfume business will in the near future directly depend on how well the business understands the behavior of the consumers. (more…)
