Presented in the argument above, the author claims that a new store should be built in Plainsville. The argument seems at first glance to be a reasonable decision. After a careful inspection, however, one will find that it suffers from several critical flaws as follows, rendering it logically unconvincing as it stands. The threshold flaw with the argument is that the author unfairly assumes residents in P (Plainsville) do highly concerned with leading healthy lives, upon which he finally draws his conclusion.

Staying on the Same Page in Business Negotiations Pacific believed that other elements of the contract might be discussed, but that no dramatic changes would be expected. Because of Pacific’s lack of strategic planning, they wasted valuable time, money, emotional stress and energy.

Because of the time and money spent on traveling and negotiating back and forth, and the potential need for new technology development, which would be based on the contract’s outcome, Pacific Oil Company became increasingly desperate to
Every business wants to know how well they will do in the near future, but when the position of a law maker is open it is almost impossible to know what the future may bring. If companies do not know if the laws being made are going to raise or lower costs of operations then how will they know if any company will still be around to continue business thus increasing cost because of the witch to a competitor. (Berr, 2010) Whether it is a local or a national election the people who are making laws will always affect any business within their jurisdiction. Any size company should always take into account that the future will not be as easy to forecast if an election is up coming. Any previous month’s numbers can not be relied upon as much as they would be able to in the past to help in the production of any Pro Forma document.

In this essay, I will provide a thorough explanation of both the reactive attitude and the assessment accounts and will show how the reactive attitude account outperforms the assessment account. Then I will introduce a common objection to the reactive attitude account and sketch how an advocate of the reactive attitude account might respond to the objection. The assessment account of blame suggests that when we blame a person for an act they performed, we reveal something negative about the person’s character. One way to explain the assessment account is to imagine a moral balance sheet. This moral balance sheet can also be thought as a demerit system.
The Self-Serving Bias One barrier to critical thinking is self-serving biases. I had this theory that if my actions do not need to be rationalized if the motives are good. The characteristics of others even post a threat. These situations can cause us to develop a self-serving attitude.
So how can we avoid this behavior if and when we recognize it as such? First we need to identify all the components Prejudice is usually a negative incorrect unjustified attitude or prejudgment directed towards someone based on personal views of a particular social group or groups. Someone that’s prejudice towards others may not act according to their beliefs, but still may not discriminate against them. One line of logic that is used is to justify ones prejudice and stereotypes is to justify the system used; by using social inequalities, they legitimizing beliefs, attitudes and myths.

Imagine a manager, who knows that things are not going to be good this year for the company. An absence of a performance-based scheme makes manager to think how to avoid further losses and motivates him to be very cautious about the decisions he makes. There is no certainty that he will not get a bonus (as very recent history tells). On the other hand, if there is a prespecified performance-based award, a manager will most likely gamble for resurrection. He has nothing else to lose (when all of his compensation is tied up to the PSU).
