¶ … Narrative
Large-scale corporate scandals like Enron not only irk me for the ethical transgressions involved but also because they reveal the truth behind the cliche "The rich get richer, the poor get poorer." Senior executives in control of massive amounts of money wield the greatest power in our culture. When they are busted for white-collar crimes their lives aren't ruined; even though men like Kenneth Lay drained the life savings from Enron shareholders he will never need to worry for money either from bank loans or informal investment sources. Yet people like me, who have conducted business with ethical and personal integrity, are repeatedly denied small loans for small business development.
The United States purports to be a nation with "liberty and justice for all" but the economically and socially advantaged find no truth in that cliche. I have applied for loans from several major banks including American West, Capital One, and Dell Financial Services. Their advertisements led me to believe that I would be warmly welcomed as a loan recipient. I was turned out the door by everyone because I have not yet established business credit. How can I establish business credit before I start a business? The paradox seems to elude American politicians and policy makers.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer because we who are socially disadvantaged are denied access to the upper echelons of the capitalist system. We are told that unless we have some money to begin with, we can't hope to make more money in the future. Forget about the rages-to-riches stories; they are cliches too. What banks earn from my small personal savings serve only to bolster the pockets of the corporate financiers, who turn around and deny people like me loans in the amount that they spend on one shopping spree.
Ultimately Dun and Bradstreet helped me set up a business credit file, which will slowly help me build my business credibility. In due time, I will be able to obtain a business credit account with Wells Fargo too. Both endeavors are funded out of my pocket. The American finance system serves the needs of those who least need it, while the individuals who need it most get left out in the cold.
Abstract China has a unique background in terms of culture, accompanied with a fast-economic growth trajectory. The country has received a lot of attention on the international front in as far as their adoption of corporate social responsibility is concerned. The implementation of the same will greatly influence global sustainability. Thus, this paper seeks to explore ways in which CSR has paved way for growth economically in China from the onset
Therefore, corporations have had to change their viewpoints and start looking at the long-term consequences of their behavior, as well as looking at the bottom line. Businesses also have to be concerned because consumers have also become aware of environmental concerns, and many consumers are demanding earth-friendly products and have shown a willingness to pay more money to competitors who observe environmentally-friendly practices. Interestingly enough, this demand has given rise
Premature Sexualisation Public hysteria or "sex panic" involving the "sexualisation" of children may be getting a decent outing in Australia at the present moment, but it is certainly nothing new: fifty years ago it was Elvis Presley's hips that portended imminent moral collapse, two hundred and fifty and a dance craze called the "waltz" was considered immodest and the "emo kids" of the late eighteenth century were committing suicide after
Introduction While Nixon may not represent or symbolize the height of the Cold War, he does represent an era in American history plagued by government corruption and large-scale public dissatisfaction with the government in general. Nixon came to power on the heels of four politically motivated assassinations: JFK in 1963, Malcolm X in 1965, and MLK, Jr., and RFK in 1968. Robert Kennedy had been running against Nixon in the 1968
