Drilling in the Alaskan Wilderness, the primary ethical issue is environmental, putting petroleum production development against preservation in Section 1002 of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska. Secondary ethical issues relate to specific impacts that development would have on inhabitants of the ANWR, including the Inupiat Eskimos, the Gwich'in, wildlife such as caribou, and wilderness that is represented within this area. This is an ethical issue because decisions must balance a sense of right and wrong without clear answers when deciding how much wilderness will be protected and what level of development will occur.
Members of Congress are the primary decision-makers. The ANWR falls under the jurisdiction of the United States Fish & Wildlife Service, making federal legislators the group that is responsible for setting the overall direction for this protected area. Stakeholders of the ANWR include the Inupiat Eskimos and the Gwich'in. Both of these groups rely on the resources of the ANWR to support traditional lifestyles that are closely connected to the land. American citizens are also stakeholders, since the ANWR represents both a vast area of protected Alaskan wilderness and significant oil reserves. In this current period of global uncertainty relating to access to international oil reserves, the American public's interests could...
Another stakeholder group is the oil and gas industry. Lastly, wilderness is a stakeholder, and includes the various components of wilderness such as wildlife and plants.
Environmental stakeholders from the above groups include the Inupiat Eskimos, the Gwich'in, and the environment, since all three of these groups require some degree of wilderness to maintain an ongoing traditional existence. Development can negatively impact the traditional lifestyles of the Inupiat Eskimos and the Gwich'in, especially if resources such as the caribou population are negatively affected. Both of these groups could survive from the economic opportunities that are created from oil exploration and development, but ties to the land could be damaged or eliminated if the environmental damage is too great. Development of the oil reserves could bring noise, pollution, and environmental changes to the area. If these changes are too great, then wildlife like the caribou could be forced into the foothills, with calves being prone to predation and starvation. This change in habitat could reduce the numbers of caribou to the point that the species becomes rare, endangered or even extinct.
The Inupiat Eskimos and the Gwich'in can determine how much…
The government should have ultimate powers on the control of handguns, and possession of firearms made illegal to avoid massacres. If the U.S. had stringent Laws on firearms, the school massacres would not be happening. It is time for the U.S. To accept that the gun laws need immediate reform because of the recurring school mass killing and the ludicrous gun legislation (Blair, 1999). There are many ways on how
Stakeholders International Business The business world has seen many evolutions over the centuries. One constant, however, remains that the central premise of business has always been to provide in a perceived need; whether this need has been somewhat created and artificially perceived, or manifests itself as an actual need. Businesses have also always had stakeholders. The way in which businesses have managed their relationships with stakeholders have, however, also significantly evolved.

Also, businesses should be open to the idea of changing the way these relationships are formed and maintained to make way for the changing business environment. "Changing the prevailing relationship a firm has with its stakeholders offers an opportunity for innovation and the economic rewards that accompany such innovation" (Harting, Harmeling & Venkataraman, 2006, p.44). Conclusion In short, different stakeholder groups have a big impact on the performance of a company. Their
More recent surveys have seen Nike continue to trail the industry average, indicating a long-term trend of only somewhat meeting customer expectations (ASCI, 2009). Wholesale and retail channels are a critical external stakeholder because of the role that they play in the company's route to market. Without support of wholesalers and retailers, Nike could only rely on its own-branded stores to bring its shoes and apparel to consumers. Nike's distribution
