The effect of global warming on the polar bear population and lack of substantial measures to stop the extinction of this species has resulted in public outcry in recent years. However, Wente argues that the public is being deceived by scientists who have become fixated on manipulating the plight of the polar bears to obtain “more media face-time” (par.11) instead of conducting “actual polar bear research” (par.11). Wente references researchers Zac Unger and Kelsey Eliasson to assert that, contrary to popular belief, the polar-bear population is not declining and in fact much bigger than it were 40 years ago. The most effective technique employed in Wente’s persuasive strategy is her appeal to emotion. Wente understands that her audience is particularly sensitive about the state of the polar bears so she opens with a dramatic claim that polar bears will soon be “only left in the zoos” (par.1) and the population will decline by “two-thirds by mid-century” (par.1).
Expansion can only be approved by a majority decision by all partners. A disadvantage of a General Partnerships is each partner is subject to unlimited liability. All personal assets of the partners may be at risk if business debts are not paid. One advantage of a General Partnership is it allows each partner to share capital and
While Bush was president, mergers were able to get away quite easily past the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission, where as Obama plans on putting a stop to the leniency of mergers. As President Obama promises to take a more active approach on scrutinizing any deals that might hurt consumers. With the increased merger scrutiny, executives would have to find ways to reduce costs such as merging with a rival, which would also give cause for antitrust concern. As well with two major rivals joining together, would result in a massive amount of jobs lost, which Obama is trying to fix as well as prevent from happening, although interference is unlikely. While the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 prevents companies from transactions that
The measure will curb unions’ outsized political influence everywhere, too often resulting in laws that benefit union members over the interest of all Californians. Proposition 32 levels out the playing field in the state capitol and in the states city halls. It will stop limitless amounts of money from being thrown around by unions in Sacramento to kill legislation, elect candidates, stop pension reform, and support or oppose ballot measures. What we have is bad government, corrupt votes and ceaselessly greedy special interest (Rifkin, The Davis Enterprise). Proposition 32 won’t fix everything in Sacramento.
The Union is supposed to help the economy, not take away businesses that will help it. Efforts made by the Union to keep Hostess and get a better pay and benefits for the workers were too expensive and not very reasonable. I think they should have tried to work out a better plan instead of making it practically impossible for Hostess to agree. Because Hostess went out of business, it will affect not only the lives of more than 18,500 workers, but it will also hurt the economy of the United
Management also discussed the possibility of those employees who had no intention in learning the skills conducive to function in an EMR based facility. The team believed this could cause an increase in employee retirement, terminations, and a reduction in volunteer employees because of noncompliance. Even more than finance pressures of implementing the EMR system, management thought that the community impact and political influences would also be a huge presence that could hinder a successful change. Keeping local organizations informed throughout the process is important to preventing possible issues in this area. Change is always hard when it concerns a large undertaking like the EMR system, everyone gets involved.
I believe that most countries would not want Americans to be meddling the lands’ of others, day in and day out. In addition to that, it will only waste more money and more lives of U.S. soldiers that could be used far better elsewhere. If the U.S would stop fighting in unnecessary wars, then there will be fewer deaths. The U.S already have enough problems to deal with and the U.S. should not need to spend more money on unnecessary fights. If the U.S. would stop dealing
Many people during the 1980’s argued that since affirmative action gave possibilities to under-qualified minorities, that it would take away the career possibilities from the more than well-qualified applicants of certain jobs. In Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign, he states, "We must not allow the noble concept of equal opportunity to be distorted into federal guidelines or quotas which require race, ethnicity, or sex—rather than ability and qualifications—to be the principal factor in hiring or education." During his time in office, he sought to end affirmative action, and his perseverance paid off substantially along with other Supreme Court rulings during the 80’s wanting to repeal Affirmative Action. There were many things that factored into race relations in the 1980’s, but the repealing of affirmative action was a main issue. It created more racial tensions and ultimately worsened racial
Undocumented immigrants are people who have entered a country without permission otherwise known as illegal immigrants. Undocumented means that the US government has no record of them ever entering the country. In most cases it is normally a step to better themselves because they face poverty in the country they live in. When immigrants believe that the chances of successfully migrating upwards are greater than the risks or costs, illegal immigration becomes an option. The benefits taken into account include not only a high chance of increased income and better living conditions, but also expectations and potential to have a future residential permit.
These business groups claim that due to the current recession, employers cannot undergo an increase of minimum wage in this financial strain. Furthermore, they declare that some businesses may be discourage to locate in California due to the cost increase of doing business and some current businesses may be encouraged to move elsewhere. Additionally, these groups also notice that the increase of minimum wage does not take into consideration any competing economic factors and they claim that the business may be undergoing some difficult moments and not be making good profit, but even then, minimum wage will keep increasing as they suffer financially akin to
