I could see I there were scientific facts or data that would confirm that statement to be true and that by running the water it prevented germs but nothing has been issued to the media outlets such as the TV news stations with this type of comment to my knowledge. If this was so all companies in the fast food industry, hospitality and more would have adopted that way of preventing germs. Starbucks defended themselves by saying, the running taps were needed to meet health standards. I would say they were just wasting water and had not clear understanding of what the consequences would be once the news got out into the public. This is very unfortunate when most countries in Africa do not have clean running water and here Starbucks is washing it down the drain without thought.
MAJOR FAULTY DECISIONS BY CEO OF BP-LED TO A DETERIORATED IMAGE FOR THE WHOLE COMPANY Much before the Deepwater Horizon oil spill BP’s image was on the path toward downfall already for its safety, ethics and environmental record was abysmal. For the many previous disasters i.e. Texas City Refinery explosion 2005, Alaska’s Oilspill 2006, Oil Platform Atlantis’ rupture 2008, were all significant examples of BP’s inefficient management. The accident showed a clear reliability failure which resulted into a loss of hydrostatic control of the well and the BP’s preventer failure to restrict the flow from the well which caused major disaster as it exacerbated the release of hydrocarbons followed by failure of BP’s emergency facilities. In the late 1990s, CEO Lord John Brown being the first company executive to highlight the existence of climate change spent over $200 million dollars on advertising campaigns to promoted CSR.
Runbiao Wei Dr.Miller English 96 17th September 2014 The Argument of the “?Lifeboat Ethics”? In the text of “?Lifeboat Ethics: The Case against Helping the Poor.”? Garrett Hardin introduces the lifeboat ethics, which is in complete antithesis to the humanism of helping people in need. To state his point of view, the author makes the metaphor of a lifeboat and divides the world into rich nations and poor nations. The rich nations seems like people inside the lifeboat, while the poor ones are people outside the boat.
In my opinion, parents should not vaccinate their children if they want to protect them from developing autism. First of all parents should not vaccinate their children, if they want to protect them from developing autism, because families all over the nation are pointing to childhood vaccinations as the cause for autism. Despite what government and medical authorities say about the safety of vaccines, parents are wise to hear what the parents of autistic children say about their children being normal until vaccinations (Attkinson, 2011). Even though this is not official scientific proof, it is definitely loud enough to make any parent think twice before vaccinating their children. Secondly, parents should oppose vaccinating their children as a way of protection from developing autism because of the significant step of banning mercury from being included in vaccines, which was taken by the US government related to this matter (Campbell, 2004).
• The people who lacked money could not afford to get cured. Although Bharat Petroleum paid for the compensation in order to treat the people who suffered from mental illnesses by an amount of $ 20 billion but it could not help in curing all the people. As found out, it was revealed that the oil spillage was the result of the management and leadership failure. Even their Operating management system did not prove to be of any worth in Gulf as it caused oil spillage. Even Bea is concerned of the risk management process, systems and techniques of BP (Griggs, 2011).
1.1 Jeremy´s personality and poor health Since the company is revolving around Jeremy and the main asset is Jeremy’s declining health could jeopardize the entire company. If Cover Concepts realizes that Jeremy has declining health, they could just stall the offer and wait for Jeremy to quit himself. If banks find out he has faltering health, they could decline loans, which would ruin the possibilities to expand the business and compete with Cover Concepts. The alternative to joint venture is disregarded since we do not think Jeremy’s personality will align with a new company culture as he is very driven and need to has some sort of control over the situation. 1.2 Financial structure of the company Cover-It has basically no tangible assets in the company.
