Shylock's speech to his wife about his suffering in The Merchant of Venice
"Good thing you were not around, Girlie, to see me humiliated so. First was the problem with that cussed Antonio. Then your Daughter! I wonder if she is your daughter at all, Dame! How could you bring about such a creature to shame me? Me, a devout and very pious Jew? How could that be? How did I loose the family and the money and my revenge all at one time? First you die off on me, letting me tend to the house, cook and all that. Servants are costly and the rogues may steal you know. Then you are good for nothing, daughter not only lets her old man do the chores, but also is always out, in the company of no goods. I had great ambitions for her. I wanted her to marry Finalock, the great merchant moneylender from Austria. You know that person. He brought you a silk scarf, and is now the biggest lender in that city. What great thing that would have been! He is our own kind. Now how will I go to the Synagogue? Will not the others laugh at me? My daughter runs away with a Christian!
Health and safety principles and practices
The main theme or point of Rosner is that training should not be considered a cure all or even immediate solution to an organizational problem or issue. Another strong point Rosner makes is how management must perform effective research so as to accurately identify and diagnose an organizational problem or issue. When management has a clear and definitive understanding of a problem, it is a stronger position to prescribe a solution that will correctly resolve the dilemma. He contends that too often management's default solution to a change or problem is to provide additional staff training that is often the incorrect solution and waste or time or resources. His point is that training is useful and in a number of cases necessary, but training is an option that research shows that management goes to too often and effectively does nothing to change the situation. When misused, sometimes the training is unnecessary; sometimes the training is boring.
Effective corporate ethics programs and federal sentencing guidelines compliance
The importance of a code of ethics for any organization cannot be under estimated. Ethical values are just as important to an auto company as it is to a rug manufacturer. When it comes to journalism and newspapers, a code of ethics is vital because the public must come to trust what it reads; if the newspaper is not believable, credibility will suffer, and so will circulation.
