Introduction The gradual opening of developing countries (most significantly in the Far East) to the west, aided by improvements in transport and communications, has dramatically expanded the global labor market. Large and small manufacturing companies from around the globe are now able to use the cheap labor available in those countries to produce much more efficiently than with workers from their home countries. As a result, the business concept of offshoring, which basically implies the allocation of some processes into other countries, is now a common term in business administration and a highly popular cost-reduction technique. Unfortunately, this method underlies several major ethical dilemmas. Perhaps the most significant problem with…

Different organizational structures are designed in order to assist in organizing and controlling the flow of activities within the company for creating an environment, where all the employees work to achieve the same goals. There are many structures, which apply to organizations with different scopes of activities. Usually, organizational structure depends on the product, which is developed by the company. It identifies the relationship between departments within the company and the tasks each individual is responsible for. Despite of the fact that there are certain criteria, according to which organizational structure can be identified; the process of applying a certain design for an organization is often based on the intuition…

1. INTRODUCTION The lesson I observed was on the subject of human anatomy. It was taught to a Grade 11 science class, where the specific topic of instruction was human body organ systems. The unit consisted of multiple lessons as well as a group project that required the students to team up in order to complete research and a presentation on a randomly chosen organ system. 2. CONTENT The teacher integrated the use of research skills that involved reading books, writing up a descriptive report and using Internet technology for research purposes. The students were required to use three types of media to present their findings, such as audio, video,…

Introduction Microeconomics, the science and practice of economic decision-making at the level of individual consumers and firms, offers a useful set of tools for understanding the world around us. A brief look at any good textbook of microeconomics can answer many questions, such as how products are marketed and priced, how companies compete with one another, and how these actions affect consumers. Hence, we can loosely separate microeconomics into two major areas, namely the microeconomics of the supply and the demand side, whereas each side has different issues to be addressed. This research paper follows the separation between supply- and demand side analysis. It uses the example of Apple, Inc.,…

ABSTRACT Focusing on ethical issues associated with stem cell research, the paper will seek to clarify its implications by examining a peer-reviewed journal article and juxtaposing its contents with a popular press article. The author also establishes a position on the ethical admissibility of stem cell research. INTRODUCTION Embryonic-stem-cell research arouses a great deal of controversy in contemporary society. On the one hand, use of embryos left over after in vitro as sources of material leads many to view this scientific endeavor as unethical. On the other hand, successful outcomes of embryonic stem cell research could save millions of human lives and relieve the sufferings of millions of more people.…

The rate of innovation in the world of clinical microbiology matches that of advances in the relevant technologies such as optics and Information Technology. It is rather easy argue in favor of the latter case because the working methods of microbiologists are very technology-intensive and utterly depend on emerging technology to expand the scope of their work, as well as to meet stakeholders’ demands. As a result, individuals who plan a career in clinical microbiology (as well as in the larger spectrum of medical laboratory work) must strive to develop a highly comprehensive set of knowledge, abilities and skills in two major areas of their work:

The colonization was one of the most disgraceful phenomena in the history of mankind. It was inhuman, humiliating, and oppressive and it came to its natural end in the 20th century. Colonization in its turn can be considered as the extension of an even more disgraceful spot in the human history, namely slavery. The process of colonization was no doubt the synonym of violence. It is very difficult to trace the early roots of the slavery. But it has been associated in the history of humanity with the colonization of the new territories in Asia, Africa and Latin America by the Europeans. This caused the strong trend of the interracial…

Introduction The fast growth of popularity of the forensic psychology in our country is dictated both by the increasing interest from the side of undergraduate and graduate students and the increase of demand for the clinical psychologists in the U.S legal system. However, the media descriptions of the abilities of forensic psychology are often inaccurate, as the journalists exaggerate and misinterpret its findings. Both the ordinary citizens, and the students, who consider the possibility of choosing forensic psychology as a career may be disappointed when their illusions about forensic psychology, created by the media, are broken, but it is important for the people to be informed about the real abilities…
