To be a slave to others ideologies, is to give up your own sense of freedom and lie to your own self. When our own self interest is put behind others, it makes us feel lost and uncertain in our own life. We are not sure what to do with our lives. In life we are faced with many hard circumstances that are not easy to overcome, but if we can reach back to our old roots we can free ourselves from our patternistic lifestyles and pursue what we want to do. In the short story “Behind the Headlines” by Vidyut Aklujkar, we see life through the main character Lakshmi’s eyes. Her life has been taken over by her husband’s life and she is trapped living the same way for 12 years. Lakshmi’s life can be a parallel to a news story itself. When we first hear about breaking news, we don’t know much about the story since new information is coming out- In this short story, when we first start reading we aren’t given too much information. As the news keeps covering the story, we are given more background on the event and all the circumstances that led up to the event, and as the news reporters get to the end of the story, we are finally given a conclusion that either makes us happy or sad. In this short story case, you are left feeling happy that Lakshmi found her way out. When we are stuck in a rut and not able to take control of our own life, we become lost. We when can overcome our circumstances and get away from our daily conventions, we are able to find ourselves and become who we really

The benefit from it is that it’s so cheap and also, beating bigger competitors that are worth more. As an example used above the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Ferrari 458i. Another great feature on why it beats these cars is that the engine is hand built. Every single part is put on by a man to perfect precision so there are no mistakes. Also there are two twin tubro’s to help go along which makes this car faster than the bigger competitors. The GTR might not beat cars that are worth in the millions but it still beats a decent amount of cars that are priced in the 200,000 -400,000 dollars group. The Nissan GTR-R35 is one of the best super cars to buy, beating better rival cars and the cost being a huge deficit in

As a humbled son of immigrant parents, I have experienced first hand the neglect, poverty, and result of dishonest institutions and infrastructure in third world countries. Visiting the land of my mother, an island of continuous suffering from political corruption and civil unrest, Haiti has opened my eyes to the failure of humanity. Furthermore, after yearly adventures to my father’s homeland, facing adversity to escape war-torn Lebanon during my summer vacation of 2006, and finally understanding a refugee crisis, I promised myself to become a businessman who will slave to provide a better world than the one I was born into; much like Blake Mycoskie, an American entrepreneur and philanthropist, best known as the founder and Chief Shoe Giver of Toms Shoes.

It used to be that when seeking to purchase an automobile, consumers basic concerns where; 1) what options are available to them in exchange for their hard earned money? 2) How much is it going to cost and what exactly will their investment buy?

The rags-to-riches film, Slumdog Millionaire (2008), is a picaresque narrative about two Indian brothers growing up in one of the largest slum areas in Bombay, the Dharavi slum.

Society’s biggest value can be culture. An individual's biggest value can be independence. What if, one has to lose one to gain one? What will be the better choice? Without any doubts, it will be culture. There are 3 profound articles that support this logic. Those articles are An Incident of the Ghobashi Household by Alifa Rifaat; Interpreters of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri; Careers Give India’s Women New Independence by Somini Sengupta from the New York Times. These stories or journal discusses about some foreign countries’ culture and life. They give ideas about results of turning against one’s original culture and what can happen to his or her life.

The price of the car was first decided to be approximately Rs.1 lakh and they approached and reengineered their car model to fit in that range. Tata Nano could achieve this price by using multiple approaches. The savings were achieved in manufacturing, design and absence of some accessories. The target market is the middle class who want to buy a first car, instead of a motorbike or a scooter, so that with a small increment in money, the marginal utility will increase and they get a better medium of transport, which is safer and convenient to commute a small family as

The surplus funds that all the enterprises under BRAC Enterprises provide fund many of BRAC’s non income earning activities, for instance, health and education programs. This has helped BRAC Bangladesh to be 80% donor independent. BRAC works to assist those with potential but do not have financial support or the confidence to succeed. BRAC Enterprises run with the vision of serving the society in a profitable, yet socially ethical manner and stand somewhere between a profit seeking and a non–profit social organization. The efforts of BRAC Enterprises are not driven towards maximizing profit and do not always operate on a purely commercial basis, but we work to benefit our stakeholders, i.e. the millions of deprived and disenfranchised poor of the country. BRAC works with people whose life is dominated by extreme poverty, illiteracy, disease and other handicaps, and BRAC strives to bring about positive changes in the quality of life through multifaceted development interventions. In this context, we think it very important to find the right balance between profit-seeking commercial activity and non-profit social activity. If the businesses aspect is to be emphasized in the context of sustainability, then exploitative business would thus be created. On the other hand, if idealism was to be emphasized on, then sustainability would be lost. We therefore seek to find a balance between a development and a commercial approach.

The CEO planned poorly for the future, even when the product didn’t even hit the market yet. His goal on minimal costs was his backbone for the Nano and he relied heavily on this one feature. He should have undergone more market testing for his product instead of assuming that everyone was going to go crazy for his product. He needed to come up with the proper campaign that would attract customers for additional reasons other than cost. Everyone already knows the price is extremely low, so ads should stress other qualities of the vehicle.
