Managerial Communication 510 Name – Anis S Ravuthar Student ID – ARAVUT9503 Assignment – Harvard Business review cases Topic – R. L. Wolfe Professor – Dr. Shawn Schwaner Introduction Change is inevitable however some people don’t like changes. It’s been argued every time that change is the only factor which takes you to the sky of success and prosperity. Development of the nations in the world is witnessed only because they accepted the change in their operation and function. This paper is designed to evaluate the negative growth of the Roaring Dragon Hotel (RDH) due to the change in the management and operation. It will further discuss the solution and options which can be used to overcome the issues faced by the Hotel.
Who would have the most happiness (qualitative). However Act Utilitarians like Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) would argue that in some situations like war there is not enough time to think about the consequences and so should use the hedonic calculus. The hedonic calculus has 7 elements about how much pleasure is made: how deep, how long, how certain/uncertain, how near or far, how continuous, how secure, how universal? This method gives Act Utilitarians a method of testing if an action is morally right (if war would be morally right). However critics say that the calculus would only help you guess the future and therefore would act on what would cause the largest quantity of pleasure.
May 8th 2012 Philosophy 252 Utilitarianism and Virtue Ethics with the Ethical Debate of Prostitution Since the beginning of time, great philosophers like Aristotle, Plato, and John Stuart Mill have tried to decipher why we, as humans, choose to do what we do. Now, in a society that revolves around one’s economic stature, it is not often for one struggling financially to consider the ethics behind a choice that may allow them to recover their lost finances. Utilitarianism and virtue ethics compete with very few similarities; Aristotle’s good habits creating good decisions, and John Stuart Mill’s idea that happiness does not equate with a ‘good’ decision that results in unhappiness, but instead the consequence of that action, these two ideas differentiate the two arguments against the act of prostitution. The debate over the reformation versus the prohibition of prostitution revolves around the agreement that the current system of prostitution is faulted and is in need of some form of an alteration. Through the argument of four authors, Scott A. Anderson, Arthur L. Stinchcombe along with Laura Beth Nielsen, and Jeffery Gauthier, the positions of both the radical feminists desiring the strengthening of prohibition and the reformation pursuing liberal feminists are expressed and defended.
How to improve decision-making at CanGo The decision making at CanGo needs some improvement. At CMN consulting, we believe in the Intuitive decision making model. Intuitive decision making models Some people consider these decisions to be unlikely coincidences, lucky guesses, or some kind of new-age hocus-pocus. Many universities are still only teaching rational decision making models and suggest that if these are not used, failure results. Some researchers are even studying the logic behind the intuitive decision making models!
Because of the lack of passion, the middle or center most position will never garner the enthusiasm that fuels the fiery rhetoric and mass protests that the more polar positions wield. But I believe that by far, the most productive and sustainable legislation and business practices always come from the center. Therefore it is my recommendation that the public at large look at the lessons of the past and see that neither a pro-business nor a pro-regulatory climate is the most beneficial one. I believe that the best answer, the best solution, the most sustainable outcome will be the one closest to the center.

The results suggested that the attractiveness halo effect does not occur for male authors. Do physically attractive people have unfair advantages? An accumulation of contemporary research suggests that they do (Berscheid & Walster, 1972). Of particular interest is a set o f experiments which suggests that attractive people receive superior evaluations for behavior comparable to that of less attractive individuals (Clifford & Walster, 1973; Landy & Sigall, 1974). These results are discouraging because they imply discrimination in the evaluation of school and job performance (Berscheid & Walster, 1972; Dipbaze, Fromkin, & Wilback, 1975) as well as in judgments concerning moral or legal transgressions (Dion, 1972; Sigall & Ostrove, 1975).
Carr thinks that this is bullshit. They underestimate the qualities of our human brain. Of course, it’s true that because of Google, we have more time to daydream, but we don’t do it because our brain is to busy processing all the vibes we got from using Google. Recent research expelled that daydreaming (short periods of psychic suspence) can give you a lot of creativity. They give you new ways of thinking, associating and ideas.
He expresses about how the government concerns about the middle class going into university in greater numbers rather than the working class, the politicians believe there is some unfairness in this situation therefore they have started to stop inflowing cash to those universities that fail to take on lower class applicants. He believes that this is a damaging policy occurring because he thinks politicians fail to recognise that there is difference in intelligence between class for example intelligent parents produce intelligent children. He assumes that’s middle class people he’s been associated with have been middle class and are intelligent. However there are some critics of innate intelligence in this circumstance intelligence is fixed, the critique for this would be IQ tests cannot tell us how much potential a person has. People with low IQ can go on to succeed great things in life.
2012). CONS: Unrealistic optimism, an exaggerated sense of mastery, and excessive self-confidence may inspire people to make changes that might be avoided if the uphill battle ahead was fully appreciated (Taylor and Brown 1988). Unrealistic optimism may lead people to ignore legitimate risks in their environments and to fail to take measures to offset those risks (Taylor and Brown 1988). Self-enhancement is associated with poor social skills and psychological maladjustment (Colvin, Block et al. 1995).
INDIVIDUAL ESSAY Education is very important for an individual's success in life it’s generally seen as the foundation of society. Students are unaware of the devastating trial they could encounter when they drop out of college lacking the knowledge to harmonize with the modern day lifestyle.
