Cause and Effect of Price Wars
When large sums of money are at stake, many companies bend and flex to their limits to guarantee defeat over the competition. Sometimes they take a loss in one area for a gain in another area. There is a cause for every action the company makes, and in return for their action there is an effect. Although the effect can sometimes be pre-determined, no one is really sure what the outcome is going to be until the time comes.
There are millions of cars on the road today and they all require tires. When an owner replaces the tires on his or her vehicle, they can decide what make and model will be on the car. But when a buyer purchases a new car, they do not have the option of which tires they would

They ran them at 90 miles per hour for 200 miles at and average temperature of 90 degrees, which is not exactly considered every day driving. The effect of these cheaper, lower quality tires was tread belt separation. This occurs when the tread of the tire peals away from the rest of the tire (http://archives . ) The effect of the tire separation caused many more problems. Firestone was forced to recall 6.5 million tires. The tires that were affected buy the recall were the Radial ATX, Radial AXT II, and some Wilderness AT tires. Only the versions of these tires that have "VD" at the beginning of the serial number are affected. These tires are found mainly on the Ford Explorer and the Mercury Mountaineer. "We made some bad tires and we take full responsibility for those" said Firestone executive John Lampe (Naughton). The effect of these 6.5 million recalled tires is starting to show through. "We have seen an alarming number of serious accidents from rollovers of the Explorer after a tire failure" said Firestone's Lampe while arguing his defense in front of the supreme court. Evidence directly relates 103 deaths and 400 injuries to these tires. These statistics were based on 2226 consumer complaints. There are also over 600 deaths alone from the Explorer rolling over, but not all have been investigated to determine if the tires were the cause. Unfortunately the number of deaths and injuries is rising every day due to
Ford did not give equal consideration to the interests of each party. Ford’s engineers had already discovered that the danger upon the ruptured fuel tank during the preproduction crash test (Shaw, Bury & Sansbury, 2009). Unfortunately, the boss of Ford
This essay will attempt to explain the use of the causal model designed by psychologists John Morton and Uta Frith (1995) to distinguish the effects of two developmental disorders, which are specific language impairment (SLI) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The main objective is to identify how the model will characterise the similarities and differences of SLI and ASD; also, to evaluate the studies cited within these disorders. This essay will highlight how the model was produced and its purposes, as well as, including future research that can further understand the distinction within the diagnostic groups.
Downtown Chicago is the pride of Chicago, a mask of beauty and culture. Magnificent views, amazing sky scrapers, wonderful land, the beautiful lake front and peaceful people are how most people who visit Downtown Chicago from a different location would probably describe Chicago. This is a place where children between the ages of thirteen through eighteen grow to discover their potential being and most likely get a sneak peek on how bright their future will be. However, we sometimes forget to mention how Chicago is one of the most devastating cities in the world today due to the crimes that occur in the streets of Chicago, mostly taking place on the Westside and Southside of Chicago every day. As we all know, Chicago was eventually named “Chiraq”
D-day was an event that had a tremendous amount of aftermath. The effects of that day were seen within months of the invasion, but also today. Three broad categories that D-day affected include: family members of the troops, the government, and the soldiers themselves. In these next few paragraphs, we will look at how D-day affected each of the categories in their own unique ways. Imagine a loved one going away to war.
September 11, 2001, was a day that started like any other day. Businessmen and women, prepared for work, went for another day of work. Children went to school for another day of learning. However, before the morning of people's everyday lives could begin a tragic event occurred, affecting many lives! The incident of September 11, 2001, was a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group Al-Qaeda, on the United States. The purpose of attacks was to target symbolic U.S. landmarks. While these attacks will be in our hearts forever, the effects are felt in other ways as well. The 9/11 attacks have left a very negative impact on our society.
ALEESHA BARLOW was molested by her mother's father when she was a child. At age 6, she told her mom and her two aunts, that their dad was touching her inappropriately. They Made her promise not to tell anyone. They made her keep it a secret from the police, and her own father. They told Aleesha not to worry. That they would confront her grandfather and it would stop. They said they threatened to send him to jail if it continued. She did not tell, but she was STILL brought around him and the molestation continued.
In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s several accidents were reported of Ford Explorers equipped with Firestone tires rolling over as a consequence of tires’ failures. By the end of 2000 the death toll was estimated at more than 250, and some
“The project was halted in 1963: some fifty miles of road was eventually built, but no bridges were ever erected over the many rivers it transected, and the route was shortly rendered impassable by thawing permafrost and seasonal floods. Yutan hauled two of the buses back to the highway. The third bus was left about halfway out the trail to serve as a backcountry shelter for hunters and trappers” (Krakauer 10).
In August of 1978 three teenage girls were driving a Ford Pinto and were struck from behind. The three girls died because the Ford Pinto’s fuel tank ruptured from the collision and burst into flames. There was a big debate about the safety of the Ford Pinto to its proneness to its fuel tank catching on fire in low-speed rear-end
Timeliness is important in all aspects of life. In the army they say “10 minutes prior is on time, and being on time is late”, that is the standard set forth and expected to be accomplished by the armed forces. By oversleeping I not only failed to meet the standard, I also failed my squad and my platoon because they did not have accountability of everyone, another main standard of the army. I also took the time of my team leader, who had to sit and wait for me while everyone else did PT. Missing movement not only cost me more time in the end, it cost the whole rest of the unit in one way or another. Timeliness is also the first step in a soldiers’ task to keep accountability at all times. Accountability is defined by
Personal evaluation of this case would take into consideration the fact; one engineer did offer a document indicating and estimate for the cost of value refitting which would prevent the Ford Pinto from bursting into flames should a rear end collision occur. A simple, $1, plastic gadget weighing one pound fitted over the gas tank bolts would have prevented the tank from being punctured. Conclusion was that "it was more economical to let people die and settle the suits afterward" (Newton and Ford, 2008). Put simply, the Ford corporate heads believed no project was worth manufacturing if the cost-benefit indicated a greater cost than the benefit. Further evaluation of the analysis indicated if the
“I’ll stop procrastinating…Tomorrow.” This is a mindset that is possessed by a majority of students today.

Pollution has become a prevalent issue worldwide and has begun to affect the air used to breathe, the soil used to grow food, and the water used to drink. All of these effects result in commonly occurring destruction of health and wildlife that one may have seen on the news or heard from peers. In order to live, one needs food, water, clothing, and shelter. If the water and food that society consumes gets contaminated, a major component of life has been eradicated, which can only have negative consequences. If more people are educated as to what effects the environment, the world has a chance to counteract the effects of pollution. The main causes of pollution are the burning of fossil fuels such as with car exhausts, littering as a result of societal norms and laziness, and factory waste as a result of lax waste regulation, and can result in mass destruction of the environment and catastrophic effects on the everyday lives of contemporary people.
