The Corporation Joel Bakan Presents Arguments - 872 Words

In the book, The Corporation Joel Bakan presents arguments, that corporations are nothing but institutional pathological psychopaths that are â€Å"a dangerous possessor of the great power it wields over people and societies.† Their main responsibility is maximizing profit for their stockholders and ignoring the means to achieve this goal, portrays them as â€Å"psychopathic.† Bakan argues that, corporations are psychopaths, corporate social responsibility is illegal, and that corporations are able to manipulate anyone, even the government. A corporation is an artificial person established by the law. It nurses the same rights as humans contrariwise; they are not equally responsible for their actions. A corporation cannot face the same charges a human would: if illegal actions took place. Bakan illustrates the traits of a corporation to closely resemble the traits of a psychopathic individual human being. These traits are, but not limited to: â€Å"1) unconcern for others, 2) incapable of maintaining relationships, 3) disregard for others safety/health, 4) repeated lying, 5) incapable of experiencing guilt, and 6) failure to conform to social norms.† Therefore, executive’s means for earning high returns for shareholders can be seen as a trait of a psychopath. Yet, the corporation’s attributes are not based on the qualities of the executives outside of their careers.

Essay on Suicide Free Essays

In the Aftermath of Teenage Suicide: A Qualitative Study of the Psycho social Consequences for the Surviving Family Members Committing suicide in the teenage years can be perceived as the ultimate rejection of family, of significant others, and of society. This article examines the causes and effect of suicide in the youth of Sweden. In its study, topics such as the background of where signs of We will write a custom essay sample on Essay on Suicide or any similar topic only for you Order Now com/suicide-speech-outline/"suicide are visible, methods of suicide, and results of suicide. The bereavement process after a suicide may differ qualitatively from other types of losses with prolonged reactions of grief and loneliness, greater feelings of shame, and perhaps most importantly, the prolonged search for the motive behind the suicide. This study examines the topic of teenage suicide through methodical and scientific evidence. In examining this article, the psychiatry of consequences of suicide and how an outsider’s perspective can be used to benefit and heal what was once a broken family and the people affected by the death. This study’s main purpose was to interview surviving members that had lost a teenager by suicide to increase the understanding of the circumstances that these families are living under and to generate hypotheses to be tested in future research. The study examines how the family will search for monitory signs and clues to make sense of the tragedy at hand. Studies of family reactions following teenage suicide are hampered by the psychological difficulties of approaching the families and recruiting an unbiased sample of survivors. Most interview studies involve samples that are either compromised by a high attrition rate, or based on survivors who organize and actively work through the crisis in support groups for suicide survivors. They derived their study from a larger research project on teenage unnatural deaths in which all teenage suicides were identified and the results were based on file material alone. They used another mixed method where professionals involved in the aftermath were interviewed to investigate suicide survivors and also parents and siblings. Since all suicide victims were financially dependent on their families and none of the deceased had established a family of their own, the study’s definition of a family was the persons living in the same household as the deceased at the time of the suicide. Persons included by this definition were biological parents, stepfathers, stepmothers, and siblings. To examine the family, a mutual trust and understanding had to be established with the respondents and critical self-reflection. The family had to make it known what was allowed and where the line was so the interviewers didn’t cross it. Because the study is a hypothesis generating study, all interviews were started with broad questions and were closed with questions such as, â€Å"What do you think of this interview? † The most poignant theme of the interviews was the search for the â€Å"why? † which still preoccupied most of the parents. This search became more salient when the suicide had come unexpectedly. Most of the teenagers had disguised their suicidal ideation not only from their families, but from other adults and peers. Nearly all parents expressed anger at being deceived, a deception that denied them the opportunity to provide parental support. Most teenagers and their families had lived a pro-social life, which had only increased the confusion and unanswered questions. Several had been known as a â€Å"pride to any parent. † Nonetheless, they still faced problems such as a broken love affair, fear of pregnancy, or difficulties with friends. The families had trouble seeing why what seemed like such trivial teenage problems had transformed into a matter of life and death. In hindsight, they reproached themselves for their ignorance. Even long after the suicide had occurred, families were still struggling to move on. Some parents had entertained the idea of committing suicide themselves, but decided against it since they know all too well the consequences for their actions. Most teenagers who commit suicide do not express suicidal feelings or otherwise hint at forthcoming suicide. To avoid â€Å"bothering† others, many families had withdrawn from casual socializing. The sense of being deceived results in low self-esteem and nourishes feelings of inferiority and shame. Many of the bereaved appeared to be imbedded in silence. Unfortunately, younger siblings had received little help to work the crisis through. These children are more likely to be burdened than older siblings and need more time, more persistence, and an uncompromising readiness by the adult to deal with the most difficult questions. Help needs to be directed as direct help to siblings and parents, as well as to the family as a whole. A teenager suicide is a devastating trauma for the surviving family as a whole and the absence of sustainable explanations to the suicide is a predominant issue in the grief process. The prolonged social and psychological isolation of the families in grief should be challenged. There is a need for better understanding and treatment schemes for families who have lost a teenage family member in suicide, and especially for the younger siblings who are often forgotten.

The views of Robert Maxwell and Harold Edey on accounting policy, creative accounting and regulation Essay Example

The views of Robert Maxwell and Harold Edey on accounting policy, creative accounting and regulation Essay Robert Maxwell was credited with saying that Accountancy is not the exact science which some of us once thought it was, and in an academic paper, Edey (1989) stated that Accounting reports can provide no more than approximate (rough is a better term) indications of the financial health and state of a business. Profit is no more than an estimate of how well a business has performed; how good an estimate it is in specific cases is dependent upon the nature of the business being reported upon and the appropriateness of the accounting policies selected. Using relevant examples critically discuss and debate these statements. The thoughts of Robert Maxwell and Harold Edey on the nature and significance of accounting have proven to be prophetic. The practice of showcasing and window-dressing the financial status of a business corporation is as old as the institution of accounting itself. These practices are not always carried out with malicious intent, but more often than not, the practice of creative accounting is a harbinger for trouble in the future. During the last few years, â€Å"incidences of â€Å"creative† and even fraudulent accounting practices have been revealed with an unexpected frequency and order of magnitude. Names like â€Å"Enron†, â€Å"Lehman Brothers† and â€Å"Worldcom† no longer represent stories of growth and business success. Instead, they have become the most conspicuous symbols of all the accounting shenanigans and accompanying audit failures that have shaken the public’s confidence in financial reporting.† In this context the insightful thoughts of accountancy experts such as Robert Maxwell and Harold Edey carries additional importance. The rest of this essay will critically evaluate their view of accountancy by referring to relevant examples.

These practices entail adding complexities to accounting information as well as finding novel ways of representing income, assets/liabilities, etc. Such deviations from normal accounting practices are carried out with the intent of deceiving or manipulating the readers’ understanding of the financial situation of the company. The readers are usually the stakeholders in the company, including shareholders, lenders, suppliers/vendors, taxing agencies, regulatory authorities, etc (Deegan Unerman, 2006). In other words, how well a business corporation performs in financial terms is significant for a broad group of people that includes potential/existing investors, creditors, employees or managers. With differing information nee ds and purposes, each category of stakeholders should be provided with data that is comprehensive, relevant and reliable, so as to allow an informed opinion to be reached on the corporation’s financial performance (Deegan Unerman, 2006). The following passage places the practice of ‘creative accounting’ in the context of information needs by various stakeholders: â€Å"Preparers of financial statements are in a position to manipulate the view of economic reality presented in those statements to interested parties. There are two principal categories of manipulative behavior. The term ‘macro-manipulation’ is used to describe the lobbying of regulators to persuade them to produce regulation that is more favorable to the interests of preparers. ‘Micro-manipulation’ describes the management of accounting figures to produce a biased view at the entity level. Both categories of manipulation can be viewed as attempts at creativity by financial statement preparers. These manipulations can be regarded as morally reprehensible. They are not fair to users, they involve an unjust exercise of power, and they tend to weaken the authority of accounting regulators.† (Akhigbe, et. al., 2005) Furthermore, all too often, the general public is left out of the list of stakeholders. A corporation’s operations have direct and indirect effect on the general public too, who don’t have a â€Å"stake† in the company in the conventional use of the term. Yet, business corporations are purely economic structures, whose sole purpose is profits and whose foresight stops with the next quarter. It is in this context that a more transparent set of accounting standards are required. One of the major corporate scandals in recent years is that perpetrated by Bernard Madoff. Although his company was operative in the United States, its example is appropriate to the discussion of accounting practices in the UK as well. The greed of money that led Madoff to resort to unethical accounting practices is not a unique event. In fact, the basic vision of a business corporation seems to be greed and unsustainable profits. As the case of the collapse of Lehman Brothers clearly illustrates, the unrealistic ambition of CEOs of large corporations is a major factor. For example, Henry Fuld, the Lehman Brothers CEO who took his company to bankruptcy, had earned $350 million as compensation in the three years before the collapse. The deregulated economic environment is a result of right-wing economic policies of the Bush Administration during its eight year tenure. The Madoff Scandal and the collapse of Lehman Brothers then looks like a case of history repeating itself. In this con text, it is incorrect to place the entire blame on top executives such as Bernard Madoff and Henry Fuld alone, for the responsibility for the crisis lies primarily with such institutions as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve and other government agencies (Alexander et. al., 2009) . In the case of Federal Reserve, its policy to encourage trading in complex financial products such as derivatives had played a major role in the economic crisis. The policies framed by the Federal Reserve had indirectly contributed to income disparities in American society, which proved to be a key factor. These imbalances led to an unstable economic climate, which ultimately precipitated the market crash and recession. Considering this, it would be imprudent to hold people like Bernard Madoff and Henry Fuld guilty of creative accounting practices, for the failure is much broader and systemic in nature. (Maltby, 2009) Moreover, financial reporting and account keeping as it exists today have their limitations. While they can accurately evaluate the values of tangible assets, more often than not the measure of intangible consequences of the company’s operations are not accounted for. For example, let us take a company that manufactures cosmetics. The manufacturing and packaging of the company’s products involves chemical processes, the residues of which are purged into a nearby river stream or sea. The discharged residual matter is highly toxic and hence harmful for the aquatic life in the waters. This leads to the diminishing in numbers of many species. Those that survive this hazard and land in fishing nets are consumed by human beings. So, now the citizenry of the area surrounding the company’s processing unit get affected. The affectation could be of varying degrees and can manifest slowly over a long period of time. These are all costs alright, but not for the business corp oration. These â€Å"externalities† are not accounted for in the annual reports. And in contexts such as this Harold Edey’s and Robert Maxwell’s views on accounting take added significance. (Alexander et.al., 2009) Some of the inherent flaws in the regulatory environment of the United States is also seen in the United Kingdom, which had its own share of corporate scandals in the lead up to the economic recession. For example, â€Å"Since the early 1990s in the UK, there have been at least two similar occurrences. The rise and fall of Internet-related stocks in the UK and the USA spanning the turn of the century is particularly noteworthy, not only because the fall was so inevitable but also because the rise in expectations was so dependent on an optimistic presentation and interpretation of financial information. While there was huge economic growth, it was artificially fueled by excessive deregulation, the â€Å"incentivizing† of CEOs and conflicts of interest that ran out of control.† (Maltby, 2009)

Jesus and Mohammad, Christianity and Islam

Jesus and Mohammad, Christianity and Islam Free Online Research Papers Jesus and Mohammad shaped what Christianity and Islam are today. These two men were born at different places and times in history that touched many lives that begin from birth through their lives to beyond their deaths. Though their teachings were about one God, their beliefs were different in many ways. Tracing their lives to compare and contrast their differences will show each of us the meaning and purpose each of these men had here on earth. The beliefs of Jesus and Mohammad are carried on today throughout society in many different ways. Comparing their births starts with Jesus being born of the Virgin Mary and adopted father, Joseph around 4 B.C. in the town of Bethlehem. An angel came to Mary to tell her she was going to have a son and to name him Jesus, which means Savior. Jesus was raised by both Joseph and Mary throughout his childhood. Mohammad was born around 570 A.D. by his mother Aminah and father Abd Allah in the town of Mecca. Mohammads name means Praised One. Mohammads father died before he was born and his Mom died by the age of six leaving Mohammad to be raised by a nurse, then his grandfather and finally by his uncle. Both these boys had different childhoods as Jesus labored as a carpenter with his adopted father, Joseph and Mohammad started out as a shepherd then became a camel-caravan leader. Jesus at the age of 12, started going into the temple to listen, ask questions of his elders and speaking knowledge of the word that a boy of this age normally would not know. Mohammad traveled many distances as a young boy with his uncle doing main trade routes. Mohammad went to work for a woman by the name of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, who happened to be the wealthiest person in Qurasih. She trusted Mohammad with her trades which brought much money in return. At the age of 25, Mohammad married the widow woman Khadijah. Mohammed was known to go into the mountains to meditate and pray to God. At the age of 40, according to (Rivzi 2009),On Mount Hira that an Angel by the name of Gabriel came to Mohammad and bought him a message that Allah (God), choose him as the last prophet with a mission to preach submission to the will of Allah. The will of God is that the Prophet to-be should undergo the entire sufferings, pains and privations incidental to human life in order that he might learn to bear them with becoming fortitude and raise his stature in human perfection (Rizvi 2009). By the age of 30, Jesus was seeking John the Baptist, to perform a baptism for him in the Jordan River. Jesus then went into the wilderness and was tempted by Satan. Jesus as God was in human form here on earth to show that he was thirsty, hungry, and tempted as a normal man but could prove to everyone that he was in perfect form and could resist any temptation. Jesus went on to perform miracles, had followers fall at his feet, and continued to spread the good news, the Word of God. Jesus never married and Mohammed married many times over the course of his life. Jesus was literate and Mohammed was illiterate but commanded by Angel Gabriel to read. Mohammed learned to recite and memorize the revelation of Gods word. This revelation was revealed in the book of Holy Quran. With Jesus, the word of God was revealed in the New and Old Testament of the Holy Bible. Jesus lived a life free of sin and did not have to ask forgiveness where Mohammed prayed to Allah (God) sometimes five to seven times daily. Jesus did not wage any wars, ordered death and established love for everyone around him. Jesus was sent to earth to become a sacrifice for our sins. Believe in Him and have everlasting life. Jesus created a spiritual kingdom while here on earth and was recognized as a Savior, the Son, God, Holy Spirit, Messiah, Redeemer, Prophet, and Lord among other things. Mohammed created an earthly empire and by the permission of Allah (God) waged war by fighting or leading battles in which he was Messenger of God to reunite all people. One of Mohammads best recognized qualities was his representation of his proclamation of principles of universal brotherhood and doctrine of equality of everyone. He was recognized also as a Prophet, a king, a warrior, a businessman, a general, a preacher, a judge, a protector and a saint among other things. Mohammed became a significant figure in Islam regarding his qualities of honesty, sincerity, and noble virtues where Jesus became a significant figure to Christianity for his qualities of miracles, teaching and knowledge, giving, willingness, and sacrificing himself for our chance at eternal life. Mohammed became ill died sometime in his sixties. Mohammed is believed to have gone to heaven after his passing to be with Allah (God) in Paradise. Jesus was persecuted, tortured, and crucified to death on a cross. Jesus resurrected three days after his burial to ascend back to heaven. There are those who believe that Jesus crucifixion and death symbolized a chance of forgiveness of sins. His death gives those who believe salvation and redemption from hell. There are many disputes over the Christian belief of what transpired during Jesus time and has many beliefs and different denominations that are known today. Mohammeds death was merely losing a leader, someone of importance to the traditions, faith and unity of Islam. Again, Mohammads death created different beliefs and splitting the Islamic faith. Christians today follow the teachings of the Old and New Testament of the Holy Bible. The common belief for Christianity is that God sent his Son, Jesus Christ here on earth to pay a price for our sins, so that we would have a chance at Eternal Life, residing with him in Heaven. For those who do not believe in Jesus as their personal Savior and ask for forgiveness will pay the price and reside in the fiery pits of hell forever. The common belief for Muslims is their full submission to Allah, the only God. Muslims strive hard to protect the Holy Quran to its original form. Muslims also believe that at the end of the world, each one will resurrect from the grave and be held accountable for his or her actions on earth and those who were good, will reside in Heaven and those who were bad, will reside in hell. Both Jesus and Mohammed were extraordinary men for their time here on earth and the religion they taught others, setting an example to others, and holding true to their faith and belief in God (Allah) to their followers. Throughout history both religions, Christianity and Islam have created many conflicts among many people but each person is entitled to his or her beliefs and most hold true to their heart what is considered to be religiously correct. Everyone according to the Christianity and Islamic belief is that each of us will be held accountable on Judgment Day.
