1. The article calls Kozlowski “a rogue CEO for the ages.” In this context, what does the term “rogue” mean? What did Kozlowski do to deserve this description?
The term “rogue” means committing crimes. CEO of Tyco, Kozlowski was accused in Regional court of Manhattan, of over 20 counts, including commercial blackmail, accounting fraud, securities fraud and corruption. Kozlowski and his second wife had corrupted nearly 0.6 billion dollars from Tyco. Thus he was probably sentenced to 30-year in prison, which was considered the longest sentence in both financial crimes and larceny stated in American law.
2. The article explores the reasons Kozlowski did what he did. Please briefly summarize three possible explanations for his behavior.

As was found in the videotape from the prosecution, Kozlowski was disclosed to hold a luxury birthday party for his wife Mayo in Sardinia of the Mediterranean in 2001, celebrations of which could compare with that of the Roman Empire. The former directing manager and CEO, Joseph Gaziano recruited Kozlowski from a headhunting company. Joseph’s vanity and extravagant lifestyle deeply impressed Kozlowski. Besides, Joseph’s hostile takeover had other bad business styles largely affected Kozlowski.
3. Looking back over the answer to the last question, are the explanations you listed primarily external (e.g., economic conditions) or internal (Kozlowski’s psychology)?
The explanations listed above are nearly from the internal aspects, namely Kozlowski’s psychology. Even if Joseph had bad impact on Kozlowski, it might mostly depend on Kozlowski’s own choice and self-control. If he had a healthy psychology, he could have adjusted both his and his wife’s behaviors if
Dean Koontz is an american author and is known for his suspense thrillers and for his frequent incorporation of elements of horror, science fiction, mystery and even satire. The New York Times has called his writing “psychological complex, masterly and satisfying.” The New Orleans Times-Picayune said Koontz is “at times lyrical without ever being naive or romantic. [he creates] a grotesque world, much like that of Flannery O'Connor or Walker Percy … scary, worthwhile reading. Rolling stone says he is “America’s most popular suspense novelist.”
1. How did Lovin come to recognize the opportunity for his young venture? Of the three types of start-ups mentioned in Chapter 3, which one does The Kollection fit into? What was the source of this opportunity?
David Berkowitz was one of the most feared killers in New York City in the 1970's. His crimes caused the death of six people, and the injuries to seven others. His crimes became legendary because of the bizarre content in the letters that he wrote to the police and the media and his reasons for committing the attacks. David Berkowitz, better known as Son of Sam, is a man with a troubled childhood and upbringing. From his many “Parental Figures” to believing that dogs were telling him to kill. During his reign of killing the police felt the pressure to catch David. "Operation Omega" was formed, which was comprised of over 200 detectives – all working on finding the Son of Sam before he killed again.
When a man is a product of his environment and the environment is filled with violence and hatred, the possibilities are horrifying. Richard kuklinski is a prime example of just that. His childhood was something no human, let alone a child should go through. His anger built up and his life eventually was overcome by it. He then progressed to a cold-blooded killer, starting small, and then ending with the mob until his capture.
Living in Waknuk makes it extremely easy to be controlled by your religion. Joseph was a very religious man towards his family
(PowerPoint 6). Structural explanations differ from individual explanations in the sense that they place reasoning on social constructs such as economic structures
It was simple a case of wrong time, wrong place. His social status also played a huge part in this, because like I mentioned earlier he was not just some slave, he had been intrusted by Potiphar to work inside the home to complete task assign to him.

The New York grand jury indictments - including the charge against the former general counsel, Mark Belnick, 55, who was an investigator in the Senates Iran-contra hearings in 1987 - also accuse Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz of bribing a Tyco board member and several Tyco employees, apparently to try to keep their scheme secret. The indictment accuses Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz of enterprise corruption, a charge often used in Mafia prosecutions. The authorities accuse Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz of stealing $170 million from the company itself and reaping $430 million more by covertly selling Tyco stock while artificially inflating the value of that stock. Prosecutors, as well as the company, contend that Mr. Kozlowski defrauded Tyco by awarding
Joseph reacts to Mary’s pregnancy with despair. “He struck himself in the face, threw himself to the group on sackcloth, and began to cry bitterly: what sort of face should I present to the Lord God? What prayer can I say on her behalf since I received her as a virgin from the temple of the Lord God and didn’t protect her” (The Infancy Gospel of James, 13:2-3). Joseph’s reaction reveals to us the intrinsic link he feels towards maintaining Mary’s chastity, and that he believes her pregnancy will have negative affects to his honour. Joseph considers himself as a failure; he sees her pregnancy as his violation to the temple and to God.
In this essay my aim is to separate the truth from the predjudice and find out whether Heinrich Schliemann was a greedy charlottarian, a talented archeologist or just someone who stumbled upon a great discovery.
Of the $600 million that was stolen, Kozlowski and Swartz used the money for personal purchases, such as paying for an expensive apartment located on Park Avenue, houses in Boca Raton, Florida, which is a very wealthy location, and high-end jewelry (Sorkin, 2002). There was also an occurrence of Kozlowski hosting a birthday party for his wife that cost millions, and even having Tyco pay for half of the tab (Sorkin, 2002). The party was located on an island in Italy called Sardinia (Sorkin, 2002). It’s not surprising that the two men used the money they stole to buy luxurious items, but if it’s apparent to others that the cost of all the purchases don’t exactly match their salary people are going to become suspicious (Sorkin, 2002).

Wislawa Szymborska, a Polish Poet known for her protest poetry on social injustices, uses the image of the tarsier to convey her key idea about the importance of having a voice no matter how insignificant. The tarsier, is a nocturnal animal, around the size of a human hand of the East Indies and Philippine regions, with large, goggle eyes. The passage depicts the proudness of the tiny tarsier of his ancestry and buoyant about his life. This is then juxtaposed with Szymborska displaying the insignificance of the tiny creature and how it is “unskinned or fur, unstripped of bone”. The contrast from the cheerful, cheeky opening stanza to the second stanza presenting the insignificance of the tarsier invokes a strong connection to the tarsier. Szymborska’s meaning of the
