Blink tells several stories about first impressions. The first anecdote explains the story of a fake Ancient Greek statue that the Getty museum paid millions of dollars to acquire. The museum carried out a fourteen-month long investigation to prove the statue was not fake.

Greed and Graves Millions of people buy lottery tickets every week thinking they will be the next big winner. Some do win, but after winning some become miserable, bankrupted, and even die thinking they can control their own faith. A lot of people don’t realize that money comes and goes, but family doesn’t.

Research Paper Word Count: 1274 How successful can a company become before it is an economic danger for our country? That is the question a lot of Americans have begun to ask about the massive super store Wal-Mart. In a struggling American economy Wal-Mart thrives while smaller companies struggle and some even go bankrupt. There is always going to be companies that make it while others don’t, but when do American citizens need to step in and draw the line when one mega company like Wal-Mart becomes too powerful? With Wal-Mart using materials from other countries while its growing and expanding everyday it knocks out smaller businesses everywhere, which in turn hurts the economy and is literally a growing Monopoly in America, which we cannot
Many people assume that this is not a significant increase but, as a percentage alone the number seems very small; in 1995 the total numbers of inmates in custody in were 1,585,586 persons this number has increased to 2,085,620 persons, which is over 500,000 people. The prison system in the United States also is not adequate in keeping the crime rates low. The United States government should not have to build more jails to house inmates; the problem is that punishment for criminals is not harsh enough. Many people will argue that prisons are too ruthless but “everybody knows what that means: The prisoner's video game has shorted out, the free-weight set is not cutting edge, or the cable TV needs repair” (Aldrich). Prisoners are not punished in jail they are merely slapped on the wrist and sent back into the world with the same attitude they had before they even went to jail.
Univ 1010 November 19 2014 Increasing Minimum Wage Jon Corzine said “No family can get rich off of minimum wage in fact the current minimum wage does not even lift a family out of poverty” Minimum wage should be increased because today in America its impossible to rise from poverty on a 7.25 an hour job. When minimum wage was first put into action it was done so with the purpose of helping people live a better life and improving overall welfare, but instead of improving welfare people ended up on welfare. How can minimum wage improve someone's life when they are only making $15,080 a year and the poverty line for a family of four is at $23,850 and for a single person it is $11,945, although it keeps one person out of poverty,
The billions of dollars spent per year on celebrity endorsement contracts show that celebrities, like Liz Hurley, Britney Spears and Tiger Woods, play an important role for the advertising industry I felt that the adverts never motivated me to buy, but I wanted to analysis why they are so popular and how advertisers get them to work in their favour. I chose Nike because they employ some of the biggest names in sport. Information Sources I searched databases and journals through the WIT website, such as ABI inform and emerald. There I found all the relevant material. I also read books to find which areas of celebrity endorsements to investigate trends and theory.
Case Study: Chapter 16 Markov Analysis Rentall Trucks Jim Fox, an executive for Rentall Trucks, could not believe it. He had hired one of the town’s best law firms, Folley, Smith, and Christensen. Their fee for drawing up the legal contracts was over $50,000. Folley, Smith, and Christensen had made one important omission from the contracts, and this blunder would more than likely cost Rentall Trucks millions of dollars.

Running head: WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS: CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS Wrongful Convictions: Causes and Solutions Cristy Prior Kaplan University WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS: CAUSES AND SOLUTIIONS “There really isn’t any substantiated data for how many wrongful convictions occur in the US every year, but recent data says it’s between 5,000 and 10,000 per year.” (Locke, 2013) There is no one reason wrongful convictions are still happening. Wrongful convictions can be prevented by decreasing detective loads, certifying lab work is accurate, and ensuring ethical justice system procedures. During criminal investigations many things happen contributing to wrongful convictions. Investigators may feel pressured by the victim’s family, supervisors, and the media to solve cases quickly. This pressure investigators are under can lead to “tunnel vision”.
