But was he really responsible for the sinking? Captain Smith was told that the titanic could take on anything, whether it was a tiny thunder storm, or an iceberg 50-100 feet high, and possibly 400 feet long. Bruce Ismay was the White Star Line director. When titanic sank, it was said to be because of a flaw in the ship, which was under Bruce’s responsibility. Because of this, the titanic would have stayed in one piece, and would have stayed afloat for at least another 3 hours.
The halftime super bowl commercial truly does support the idea of the company’s persistence. Marchionne took on the once thought impossible task with the help of the Bush and Obama administration. Still, Several politicians, such as Karl Rove, who argues that the ad was a strategically placed commercial used to praise and support Obama during the 2012 reelection, feeling the need to “repay their political patrons,” (Stewart). Although these ideas are brought about, Marchionne continues to stand on his current position over the ad. “We are as apolitical as you can make us…” states Marchionne; he continues to say the ad was a tribute to Chrysler employees, and how the ad was used “because it says something…about the resilience of America,” (Bury).
On April 22, 1913 the Imperial German Embassy sent the United States a telegram warning us to stay away from German waters. “Government, vessels flying the flag of Great Britain, or of any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters and that travelers sailing in the war zone on ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk” (doc.4). What it’s basically saying is they will destroy any ship with a flag other than the German flag will be destroyed no matter what. The method they were using was Submarine Warfare. The passengers on the ship loved the thrill of the ride.
The political, legal and social factors In this section I will analyse how political, legal and social factors have impacted Manchester United and Sue Ryder. I will also consider which of the factors are most significant and what sort of impact they are having on Man U and Sue Ryder. I will also analyse the changes in business planning that have resulted from these external changes and how are these two businesses coping with these changes? Manchester United The most important political factor for Manchester United is the tax. When the government decides to raise the tax rate this has a negative impact on Manchester United because this means they can not carry out given activities and this will prevent them from achieving their aims and objectives.
The business world may be a big obstacle when it comes to appreciating the natural world, but Louv mentions another troublesome hurdle that distracts mankind’s eyes from it -- technology. Louv describes on how all of the new arising of technology is yet another hampering bump in the road to viewing the real world -- in this case, the new age over-accessorized vehicles that everyone seems to get their hands on. To explain why, Louv uses an anecdote about a friend of his who was shopping for a new SUV. This story unmasks the truth behind the real purpose of the new car tech -- to provide entertainment for children with the help of “backseat monitors” and other “multimedia entertainment products” for parents to purchase for their vehicles. These add-ons
Evans makes the assumption that it is ‘imperative that we have the latest toy.’ Likewise, he attacks city dwellers, claiming that ‘many [of them] choose to drive gas-guzzling cars’. These two generalisations, although they seek to highlight the awful state of our country, and the misuse of our vital resources, also has the potential to get the reader off side- especially if they are the owner of a ‘gas-guzzling’ four wheel drive. Furthermore, Evans uses sarcasm when arguing that resolving to save water by using a bucket in the shower is minimal, compare to walking or using public transport to get to work. Evans suggests, that ‘there’s only so much inconvenience we are willing to tolerate!’ The reader is asked to either take responsibility for contributing to the degradation of our environment, or in a much cynical response- given a scapegoat for what is, overall, much larger, and widespread
They express alarm over the fact that capitalistic principles were violated by the bailout and that the federal government overstepped its bounds. They condemn the fact that irresponsible business practices were rewarded by a government handout. Finally, they further their argument by proposing that the natural flow of a free market economy, which relocates resources to where they will be most productive, was stemmed at the cost of the advancement of new, innovative businesses. These vastly different views have been well articulated and argued extensively by their proponents; however, this question still calls for a definitive answer: was the auto bailout in the best interest of America?

 Jeff Howe April 30, 2009 Ralph Nader Government exists protect the citizens from themselves and Ralph Nader is there to ensure that the government follows through with their purpose. For decades, Ralph Nader has gained recognition as a kind of whistle-blower. He has alerted the general public to the dangers of consumer goods as well as hazards in airplane and car travel. To this end, Nader has created powerful non-profit organizations. Nader has some very distinct political opinions that make him the ideal candidate for president.
A good example of some of the laws placed today on businesses to protect the consumers from price inflation and customer allocation. Car dealerships in the past who were in the surrounding area of each other would either do one of two things prior to current laws being enforced and placed in the antitrust laws. The first thing that they would do is continuously undercut each other’s pricing and financing until the profit margin was unsustainable for one of the companies causing them to either file bankruptcy, sell the business, or make a phone call to the competitor and attempt to make a plea agreement with the other company to keep from going out of business. That conversation would include offering not to undercut its competitors pricing any further allowing both companies to remain in business and still keep a good profit margin. When those agreements are initiated it is not necessarily a bad law to break in my eyes because it at the end of the day keeps people employed and is helping the economy.
As a member of the Ford Company, should I have to decide on recalling the vehicles or settling the case in which injury occurred I will take the option of recalling the vehicles. Yes, the decision will have an impact on the company financially but ethically it would be the right thing. Human lives are more valuable than money. Placing dollar values on human lives allowing them to die or be seriously injured rather than pay the cost to repair faults in vehicles is unethical. Consumers and society look at organizations to be trustworthy, responsible and held accountable for all their actions.
