Without prior market penetration of an organization’s competetitors, the usefulness and effectiveness of properly marketing a new product or service can be quite burdensome. This is due to the fact that an organization runs a major risk of constantly striving to maintain its customer base, as the new type of product or service has not yet been introduced into the maintstream. Additionally, pricing may be an issue based upon: Should pricing be very low to attract new buyers?, or Should pricing be set high to offset initial entry into a new marketplace? These are the questions that an organization must face, but for the most part, being a
This is also a contradiction in the same sense. Gladwell needs to decide if success is based off of the factors we cannot control such as financial situations and heritage, or if success is based off of controllable factors such as passion and dedication. I am going to go with the latter. Of course, it is more difficult to become a success if one is born in a lower-class; however being in a lower-class gives a person much more incentive to work hard for a better life. Gladwell points out that most success stories are alike.
Due to the many different types of cultures, each culture seems to judge other cultures. Therefore, most think their culture is the best and are not open minded to consider other cultures being acceptable. This leads to people becoming ethnocentric. It is important not to judge others without any prior knowledge of their history or heritage. If society would take the time to learn about the things that are unfamiliar, the understanding of others would be more prevalent.
Thoreau believes that the government takes the power out of the people’s hands. He also believes that majority rule overpowers the conscience of man and that it is handled in a very improper manner. This also plays into how he feels about the unjust laws in the government. Thoreau thinks that the unjust laws aren’t fixed because Americans believe they have to have a majority of people who agree that the law is unjust and he thinks that that shouldn’t be the case. Thoreau only has the American people’s interest at heart and want them to become a better and greater people, this is what makes him a patriot.
the Americans believe they are better than us. We are unable to keep a steady relationship with them as long as they hold these opinions. . . The Americans are not complying with our demands.
The belief that Physical beauty is more important than intelligence is a very common habit throughout the world, especially in schools and as a result, people may often conform to accept values of appearances rather than focusing on the values of a persons gifts and talents. Conformity can be involuntary, so someone could not even know that they were following others. Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth (Kennedy). What this is saying is if a person conforms to others then they’re giving up their freedom to whom they’re conforming. If they do this, they cannot grow, or have their own thoughts or opinions or act on them.
Licensing is supposed to create a boundary in separating people who know how to do the job from people who do not. Young (2002) argues that occupational licensing has many flaws. He stated that it raises prices and does not prove concretely that having a license insures better quality or safety. Also, the requirements usually do not insure “good practice.” The law places more attention to non-licensed practitioners than licensed practitioners who malpractice. Occupational Licensing requires schooling, courses, training, and other obstacles in order for people to practice their specialty.
People today are having a harder time arguing right and wrong because a growing number of people reject absolute right and wrong. Utilitarianism tells us that given a set of choices, the act we should choose is that which produces the best results for the greatest number affected by that choice. (Mosser 2010) When we look at the use of marijuana there is a smaller number of benefits verses the larger number it will adversely affect. Therefore by the ethnic principle of utilitarianism we should not allow marijuana to be legalized. Marijuana should continue to be a controlled substance.
The MBTI introverted personality type says that introvert type does not get energy from outside. It means an introverted person develops good energy from themselves. Nowadays, many people wish to become a good leader, but many have the preconception that an extroverted personality is required to become good leaders. Moreover they believe introverts have disadvantages in our social activities. However, I believe this misconception distorts the truth because an introverted personality actually qualifies for leadership in our current society.
However, simply prioritising achievements over potential denies the fact past achievements may not be a holistic revelation of one’s true capabilities. Since people are constantly making progress, we should embrace every possibility of their future by placing trust in their potential. While what people have accomplished in the past reveals some of their abilities and hence heralds what they will be achieving in the future, it is myopic to arbitrate their later development based on their past experience. Due to stereotypes, many tend to concentrate too much on one’s past deeds and neglect one’s potential. This is sheer short-sightedness.
