Legalizing marijuana will not only benefit the users but the us economy could be stabilized if this drug was legalized. First of too much money is being out into the war on drugs,contributing to the useless spending the country already does. For instance 16 billion dollars of your tax paying dollars goes towards keeping marijuana under control. But you may want to task yourself is it really working. We send so much money to keep it at bay,but yet most of the people who are locked is because of small crimes that include marijuana offenses.
What you buy in our society determines your value and happiness is mistaken for satisfaction. At the end of the day, the United States does not come home fulfilled from the purchases they made or the things they have gained; it comes from the relationships you build and this is which creates genuine happiness. Both of these pieces shine a light on the growing industry and the ways they target children through television, media, and many other outlets who don’t know any better. This downward spiral is turning luxuries into necessities and the idea that money can’t buy happiness is being forgotten in our consumer
The record companies were initially happy receiving $0.70/song from Apple since prior to this arrangement, they were not getting paid for downloaded music (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, 2009). As the digital market gets bigger, the record companies are getting dissatisfied with Apple’s pricing policy and are pushing for a change to a complex pricing policy, where new and popular songs will be priced higher. They have complained that Apple’s is using their music to promote the sale of the iPod since music from the iTunes store is only compatible with the Apple software. As of January 2008, all four major record companies agreed to allow Amazon.com sale their music in the MP3 format without the digital locks that restricts users from making copies of the songs though each of the companies excluding EMI Group requires Apple to sell their music with all the digital rights (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, 2009). Analyzing the managerial Decisions 1.
The cost of these illegal immigrants is high and with the economic situation we’re currently in, we can’t afford any additional expenses. However, there is a slight benefit to illegal immigrants. They are still consumers and they consume U.S. goods and, contrary to many people’s ideas, most do pay
Prostitution is illegal just like some other drugs; this causes the states and the United States to not have any control over them. Groups believe that if prostitution were legalized, it would make it a legitimate form of commerce (Silbert). According to Bilefsky, a Wall Street Journal reporter, the legalization “…also has brought nearly $800,000 in tax revenue to the city [Antwerp, Belgium].” All the money that other cities are earning can certainly help us in the debt that we have here in California. In some places worldwide, the annual profit is about $10.5 billion in income due to prostitution (Leuchtag). These cities and states are really taking advantage of this money; they can make good use of it, imagine what it can do for California or other places.
Whether most people will admit it or not, the dynamics and integrity of collegiate sports are slowly changing into a commercial entertainment based organization, majorly focused on the incentive of revenue. Most Division I athletes are offered scholarships to attend and play a sport for a certain university. Many people believe that “student-athletes” generate billions of dollars for universities and private companies while earning nothing for themselves. In his Sports Illustrated article arguing against the movement to pay college athletes, Seth Davis responds to this statement by saying, “This is indisputably untrue. Student-athletes earn free tuition, which over the course of four years can exceed $200,000.
Independent labels also have what they call pro artist contract. The indie label contracts are usually more artist-friendly, giving more money to their artist through profit-sharing programs or simply a larger royalty percentage. The most common issue for independent labels is lack of funds. A lack of funding means a smaller budget for recording, cd duplication and replication, distribution, tour support and
CD sales are dropping steadily and even music artists have recognized and instated other forms of making revenue off of their music. Business models that provide downloadable music have licenses with recording companies to sell songs, on a song by song basis or as a whole album, depending on how many songs a consumer would like to buy. This shows that people are recognizing the changing economy and adjusting their marketing techniques accordingly. Digital downloads seem to be
If the majority of the population finds the script of a film to be unclear and hard to understand then they will give their friends that feedback and so people won’t go to see the film, which is especially bad for a mainstream film as they cost millions to produce and rely on commercial success. Also a simple storyline and straight-forward dialogue helps when translating the film for foreign markets thus increasing its commercial success. A good film script can make a new film successful as more people will go and watch it if they have heard good reviews from critics or their friends and family. However, there are many other factors apart from just having a good film script that can determine whether a mainstream film will gain the desired commercial success. The producers want the film to appeal to a mass market so that they can get mass audiences to go see their film.
Ethical issues within the technology field As the age of technology grows rapidly by the day as do the ethical issues that we face. The ethical issues may be in the form of copying music or software, illegally and the effects can be very damaging, not just to the one with the ethical issues but also to the creators. For instance, music has always been popular but now the ways to get music and software are much easier and much more illegal but less frowned than previously. With technology, music has been even more accessible over the years, most think that burning a cd after downloading from an illegal site may not be a big deal but if just for a second, you put yourself in the shoes of the creator of the music you may think differently. The people who create have worked hard and deserve for their product to be protected but with the ease of access, most of the time they are not.
