An example of how one of the most critically important organizational systems, the accounting and financial system, broke down and could not pay suppliers accurately, shows how once a system becomes dysfunctional and fails to deliver, an entire business is in jeopardy. The accounting and financial organizational systems are the most powerful in defining the culture of any business as well, as they define the flow of funds, salaries and payments (Busco, Scapens, 2011)
For organizational systems, this level of design is rare; instead an organizational system is more iteratively based in terms of its formation and maturity processes (Zhang, Hurst, Lenin, Ramaswamy, 2011). Yet like a jet engine, an organizational system must anticipate significant use on a variety of challenging, difficult internal and external environments (Martins, Terblanche, 2003)
The agility, reliability and safety of a jet engine is designed in for years before it flies. For organizational systems, this level of design is rare; instead an organizational system is more iteratively based in terms of its formation and maturity processes (Zhang, Hurst, Lenin, Ramaswamy, 2011)
In this case, companies would conduct business in an unfair environment just because profits are there. Employees who feel the companies are not doing right are tethered from expressing their opinion (Blindheim & Langhelle, 2010)
As a result, 29 of 31 coal miners perished in the tragedy. Investigators report specified that the company ventilation system did not meet standard (Lawrence, 2014)
Feminist environmentalism assesses the differences not only between natural stances of genders, but also between the access to resources, the control over the resources, the knowledge possessed and available, as well as the relationships developed at the level of national and local governments, as well as within the international community (Cornwall, Harrison and Whitehead, 2008). The feminist environmental movement is as such based on the following interests: "How gender, class and race mediate people's experience with local environments How human-environment values are mediated through gendered lenses and shaped by gender roles The gendered nature of political, economic and ecological power in institutions that shape the environment The interconnections of systems of oppression, and Transnational and postcolonial challenges" (Bock and Shortall, 2006, p
Additionally, they argue that women are nurturers by nature and they are as such better skilled to protect the environment (Rocheleau, 1996). Feminist environmentalism assesses the differences not only between natural stances of genders, but also between the access to resources, the control over the resources, the knowledge possessed and available, as well as the relationships developed at the level of national and local governments, as well as within the international community (Cornwall, Harrison and Whitehead, 2008)
"Post-modern feminists reject thee traditional assumptions of truth, knowledge and power, which they believe are centered on an absolute male style, thus disregarding the transformative gender dimension. Post-modern feminists have criticized many general theories for their failure to see gender as a fundamental category, consisting of individuals and social relations" (Fourie, 2001, p
The feminist approach to environmentalism promotes a superior role of women in the protection of the environment by presenting both females and the environment as reproductive forces of nature. Additionally, they argue that women are nurturers by nature and they are as such better skilled to protect the environment (Rocheleau, 1996)
"Transparently dismissive of feminism as a complex specialist field with depth beyond analysis of individual women, it presumes the formulaic and simple. As ignorance bears down, however, circling into lagers and setting teeth and a trou-de-loup for feminists, I keep seeing feminism birthed and rebirthed in international relations by the prodigious performance of the masculine" (Smith, Booth and Zalewski, 1996, p
"Feminism […] is a tradition of that makes a gender-biased argument for a more femininely and womanly engendered world from the beginning. Feminism is unbalanced, even irrational, because of its normative, prescriptive agenda" (Weber, 2009, p
Women across the globe continue to be discriminated against. In the least developed countries, such as those in the Middle East, women are forced into arranged marriages; they are often abused by their husbands and other males in their family; they are prohibited from getting divorced or from social interaction outside the supervision of the husband or the father (Islam Women)
Instead of learning from Deepwater Horizon, BP is still believed to lack transparency with respect to its practices. As a reflection of how ingrained the company's lack of ethics is, the chair of safety, ethics and environment had 43% of shareholders vote against him in the latest annual meeting, a strong show of dissatisfaction for the company's efforts on this front (Maharaj, 2011)
Ethically, safety would have been the more important concern, but BP pushed profit as a primary motive despite what it would do to worker safety. The end result, of course, cost the company over $40 billion as the result of the damage that was caused by the accident that occurred as a result of that ethical lapse (Wearden, 2010)
When receiving the draft of the three middle-ground justices, Stevens suggested a reorganization of their opinion so that he and Blackman could join most of it and there would be a single opinion that was supported by a court majority. Justices O'Connor, Kennedy and Souter quickly agreed, and the opinion became the law of the land (Totenberg, 2010)
From this perspective, property offences are the result of rational decision-making reached by men and women who confront a problem faced by many others -- a need or a desire for money." (Desroches, 1) In many cases, rational choice theory is a great window into the broad sociological conditions and the individual motivations that cause people not just to engage in criminal behavior but to feel that this is truly their only choice
At the very end of the student interchange, the teacher will then provide his/her input. This structure lends itself to be supportive of the consensual decision-making process (Anderson)
In fact, the number of murders, rapes and batteries committed by juveniles in China is growing faster than 10% a year according to criminologist Pi Yijun of the China Politics and Law University (Forney). Remaining Challenges in Chinese Classrooms and Implications for Teachers In a recent example of school violence, eleven boys at a city school beat up a female student and then spread a video of the attack from phone to phone using a Bluetooth device (Branigan)
For instance, a Japanese mother uses the group-mindedness concept from infancy when scolding his/her child by stressing the embarrassing or strange behavior and that people are watching. Some call this "conformity training" and it is reinforced throughout the child's education through projects which require teamwork and cooperative activities (Clancy)
Notwithstanding the comprehensiveness of the moral education, in recent years both within and outside the classroom, Chinese youth are misbehaving as well as committing more heinous crimes. In fact, the number of murders, rapes and batteries committed by juveniles in China is growing faster than 10% a year according to criminologist Pi Yijun of the China Politics and Law University (Forney)
