Social Responsibility EST1 Task 1 Company Q's current attitude toward social responsibility can best be described as nonexistent. While a business's ultimate goal is to create profit, businesses should enlist community friendly practices to strengthen both the company and the community as a whole. Three areas that Company Q needs to reevaluate are as follows; (1) closing down stores because of the crime rate in that specific part of town; (2) only offering high margin items that are health conscious; and (3) wasting food instead of donating it to local food banks. Company Q has recently closed a couple of stores due to a pattern of lost profits. These two stores were in high-crime-rate areas.

The S.A.F.E. Act was enacted to protect consumers from such practices and clean up some of the so-called crooked aspects of the lending business that helped fuel the housing
The article includes personal accounts of a number of patients and their relatives. They are relevant to show the point that not all of Nitsckes patients are in fact terminal but more like depressed. My overall opinion of the article is that the journalist makes Nitschke sound like all he wants is to sell a quick death even when the patients are not really dying. It also shows me that if we make this legal it would make it easier for people to use it as an excuse for assisted suicide. I found it very useful to get more of an understanding of the potential for
Throughout the article, the author says “The shoplifter creates a third choice of her own: she takes the products she has been conditioned to desire without paying for them… Shoplifting is the most effective protest against all … modern corporations” (Ex-workers Pg. 2). The purpose of this article and its use of logos is to inform the reader of the how the big corporations are cheating them out of their money and how they can “stick it” to them.

Similarly, technology has had a significant impact on how laws have had to be created and reformed in order to protect the rights of consumers.
China The massive trade surplus, large foreign exchange reserves, low cost of goods, and massive market size are the main strengths of the country. The economy is still undergoing a transition to more of a market economy. However, policy makers are committed to making these changes (China Business Forecast, 2014).

This correlates with the post September 11 social context, when people developed conspiracy theories, as people were sceptic of the ‘truth’. Likewise in Cuckoo’s Nest Nurse Ratched theoretically claims that the mental hospital is a “democratic ward”. However, practically when McMurphy obtains a majority of votes to watch World Series baseball on TV, Ratched disregards
Or are they stuck in a fantasy life that they show in their reality. The article by A.L. Carlisle, “The Divided Self: Toward an Understanding of the Dark Side of the Serial Killer” analyzes that serial killers have two separate entities, one good entity and the bad that is portrayed as the “Dark Side”. First the serial killers are perceived as good citizens, yet they’ve turned into vicious killers. Why would a person who is an outstanding citizen turn to
