Recent breakthroughs in the field of genetics and biotechnology have brought attention to the ethical issues surrounding human enhancement. While these breakthroughs have many positive aspects, such as the treatment and prevention of many debilitating diseases and extending human life expectancy well beyond its current limits, there are profound moral implications associated with the ability to manipulate our own nature. Michael Sandel’s “The Case Against Perfection” examines the ethical and moral issues associated with human enhancement while Nick Bostrom’s paper, “In Defense of Posthuman Dignity” compares the positions that transhumanists and bioconservatists take on the topic of human enhancement.

“Marketing strategies can have a broad impact on the business in terms of instilling a marketing orientation among all those in the firm: the way of thinking or philosophy of the whole organization.

While everybody nowadays receives a good education, not all are taught to the highest standard. The education system, for a long time, has remained unadapted to modern life; this principle remains true. As part of the national wakeup call on America’s scrambled and varying education standards across the nation, Davis Guggenheim’s Waiting for Superman raises thoughtful consideration to the subject of educating youth. Throughout the film, Guggenheim utilizes the stories of children in poorer areas to appeal to the audience’s emotional side, or pathos. Effectively showcasing the lives of lower-income families and the disadvantages faced- like not getting into a school that efficiently teaches children and permits them to consequently receive an even higher education, potentially breaking the cycle of poverty- Guggenheim offers evidence based on the success rates of charter schools. Displaying the most successful charter schools, and the most prosperous students out of those, puts charter schools into the
In summary, marketing is very important for a business to achieve success. Many businesses have a difficult time in this area. With the stiff competition, businesses struggle to stand out among others. Other companies resort in unethical and unfair schemes just to win the competition. But eventually find themselves in great loss and failure. As businesses all over the world enter into a gigantic marketplace, every business owner is faced with convoluted market competition.

Receiving the death penalty is the worst and final penalty that the United States Justice System can administer, especially for those who are mentally ill. Many Americans are questioning the morality of executing mentally ill convicts, as well as the validity of the death penalty itself. These are the questions Americans should be asking, or at least putting some thought into.

The following research will examine what the death penalty is, what constitutes mental illness, how people with mental illness do not always have knowledge of what they are receiving or doing, how people with mental illnesses do not all have access to quality treatment and rehabilitation, and finally, the cost to carry out the death penalty.
