Causal analysis and the detail it provides produce strong historical relationship between dislocation and addiction, especially in England in the 1500s. The authors emphasize drug addiction as the dependent variable, arising from the dislocation in the society itself. People tend to establish substitute lifestyles, often referring to drug use to compensate for their inability to participate in the community. Alexander and Shaler pinpoint the beginning of dislocation in England and Canada, when those who rebelled against the law would be “confine[d] in ‘houses of correction'" (230) and would face punishment; natives were not addicts until “assimilation subjected them to extreme dislocation” (231). Alexander and Shaler conclude addiction is a “political and spiritual problem” (231) that needs to be fixed with integration.
A successful Strategic Management System (SMS) not only has to focus on an organization’s external environment, it also has to take care of the organization’s internal environment as well. In 1979, Mr. Michael Porter, a young Harvard associate professor, published “How Competitive Forces Shape Strategy”. It became an instant success. Corporations, large and small, started to use his “Five Forces” analysis to form their strategic plan. The “Five Forces” are external forces that a corporation needs to consider for its business strategy to compete with other in the real world.
Even in 1976, Herbert Schiller recognized a shifting towards cultural imperialism in work Communication and Cultural Domination. He describes cultural imperialism as, “the sum of the process by which a society is brought into the modern world system, and how its dominating stratum is attracted, pressured, forced, and sometimes bribed into shaping social institutions to correspond to, or even to promote the values and structures of the dominated center of the system” (Galeota, Julia). An example of the usage of brides for cultural imperialism may be seen in United States policies in the Cold War. The United States began to heavily employ foreign aid for democratic promotion in order to keep European states from becoming allies with the USSR. Each ally was important for the acquisition of power.
How do Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC, AICPA, FASB, and other regulations affect the company? How do these impact internal controls and the information technology systems of the company? I have learned from my previous class of External Audit that the main reason why Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC, AICPA, FASB and other regulations exits is to force organizations to implement better and strong internal controls; And I also was informed from my professor that the following reasons are the top four reasons why organizations need to have strong internal controls and the IT auditor role will be to assist in verifying compliance: 1. The passage of the SEC Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-204). Under this act, companies would be required to include an annual internal control report of management stating the following: a) Management’s responsibilities for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls and procedures for financial reporting for the company b) Management’s conclusions about the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls and procedures for financial reporting as of the end of the company’s most recent fiscal year c) That the company’s registered public accounting firm has attested to, and reported on, management’s evaluation of the company’s internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
Again if someone was born after 911, or remember, they might not think of the twin towers when they read that line. To further the point that Joy is talking about the twin towers is “…East Island of commerce...” The towers stood at the east side of the financial district, and the definition of commerce, to put it simple is buying and selling especially on a large scale. That is important to know because one of the many purposes of the twin towers was taking multiple national markets of trading and investing and integrating them to create one economic globalization headquarter, The World Trade Center (Manzella). Having an understanding on what Joy is describing in the first couple lines about the twin towers is crucial because it helps mold the message that Joy Is trying to get across about the violence in the world and why it “ended” the
The Evolution of the Commerce Clause Business regulation is one of the most debated features of modern politics. Regulation is commonly known to effect business ability to be competitive in both internal and external markets. The federal government’s ability to regulate business has grown out of the judicial branches’ constant manipulation of the contextual meaning of various elements of the Constitution. The progressive manipulation is a non-debatable fact, but the overall benefits, or consequences is a hotbed for argument. Progressives carrying the belief the importance of a living constitution are pinned up against Originalist who quest to preserve the original founding fathers intentions behind the text of the constitution.
The Analysis Of The Article “Good Advice For The College -Bound” By William Raspberry. The article “Good advice for the college -bound” is a publicist essay which advocates liberal arts education against the current trend of professional one. The title of the essay gives us to understand immediately that we deal with publicist writing, which aims at affecting our opinion and even action: the phrase “good advice” shows the subjectivity of the author’s intention to set our mind on this or that track. However subjective the intention is, the compositional structure of the article confirms with the rules of any one. It contains three parts: an introduction where the thesis is introduced, a body where it supported with argumentation and a conclusion where the thesis is repeated.
In the first chapter of his book, The Landscape of History, John Lewis Gaddis says, “But consider the power of metaphor, on the one hand, and the particular combination of economy and intensity with which visual images can express metaphor, on the other,” (2). This is one of the more intricate quotes pulled from Gaddis, where he is basically saying that not only do metaphors represent stories that are used to describe history, but also that metaphors can be images that are being used to represent something much larger. For example, historians tell a story like what actually happened, and maps show features that are like the territory that it is representing. Another thing Gaddis states in chapter one is, “The best you can do, whether with a prince or a landscape or the past, is to represent reality: to smooth over the details, to look for larger patterns, to consider how you can use what you see for your own purposes,” (7). Which supports the point being made that history may only be represented by a story as land may only be represented by a map.
