Scenario 1 1. What should Bryan do about the clock? Supriyo Chaudhuri stated that “business gifts are usually seen as advertising, sales promotion and marketing communication medium” to create “a positive, first impression which might help to establish an initial business relationship”. During a purchasing process, gift can be considered either an appreciation or an attempt to influence future buying behavior because it may influence buyer’s perspective and evaluation to the supplier. According to Nina Kaufman, receiving a gift can “hamper your objectivity when either making purchasing decision for your company or recommending the ng products or services to clients”. As for Bryan’s case, he first must identify his company’s policy on accepting gifts and favors to see if accepting the clock is a violation of company’s ethical standards. If a gift is strictly prohibited, Bryan has to return the gift right away. In the case that Bryan could keep the clock, the gift may be a primary factor encouraging him to get involved into business with Mr. James McEnroe’s company despite the fact that this is not the best option for his company, and thus this will still be considered to violate the code of professional conduct. After returning the gift, Bryan should also be open up and talk to his employer about the situation to show his honesty and justice. To his wife Nina, who attaches so much to the clock, Bryan should explain to her clearly why they should return the clock and the
Everyone has lost a loved one or has seen and experienced a situation in which another person has lost their loved one. In “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, published in 1894, details that moment in a woman's life when her world is shattered and the process of self-consciousness begins. Louise Mallard, wife of Richard Mallard, a successful businessman. Louise Mallard is a woman ahead of her time, by the standards of the 1890’s she should be happy. Her husband loves her; she herself acknowledges that he “had never looked save with love upon her.”(Chopin, p.477) In the 1890’s women depended on their husbands financially. There was an unspoken rule that the man was the powerful one, the wife would conform to the
If any client or persons that has any financial interest in a company is offered a gift or entertainment and accepts the offer, they are in the risk of complying with the “Integrity and Objective Rule.” A client should have a firm understanding of what is acceptable when accepting a gift. There are limitations on gifts such as the price of the gift. The occasion is a factor of whether the gift is acceptable or not, and how many gifts were given or how often gifts were given is taken into account when considering acceptable gifts.
The existence of evil in the world is a universal question that is often contemplated. Anthony Burgess and Arthur Miller in their novels A Clockwork Orange and The Crucible address this question of evil. One of these stories is set in the future, and the other in the past confirming the belief that the human struggle between good and evil is timeless and applies to every person in society. Throughout history numerous examples of leaders have attempted to control the nature of people within their society through systems of punishment and reward. This system had failed continuously to control the entire population because people still retain their
Writings of the realism spectrum often deal with the natural world as it truly exists, inhabited by both dreams and the pursuit of happiness, and often times the blunt end to said dreams and pursuit. No exceptions exist for “The Story of an Hour,” by Kate Chopin, and “To Build a Fire,” by Jack London. In “The Story of an Hour,” a woman is told of her husband’s death, and realizes the freedom she has been granted. Unfortunately for her, she discovers that freedom is not hers just yet. In “To Build a Fire,” a stubborn man ignores multiple warnings and decides to travel alone in seventy-five below zero weather, and pays the price for it.
The time of that fateful sunset can be estimated by using the events in the story. At 11:55 PM that night, Harry and Hermione went back in time by three hours. They heard their earlier selves crossing the entrance hall with Ron and leaving for Hagrid’s cabin, walking slowly under the Invisibility Cloak (PA21). If it took the Trio fifteen minutes to cross the grounds, then they arrived at Hagrid’s at 9:10 PM. According to Lupin, they were in Hagrid’s hut for twenty minutes (PA17), and therefore left around 9:30 PM. The execution party arrived at the same time; they read the official notice, signed it, walked outside, and saw Buckbeak gone; then the executioner threw his axe (PA21). If all of that took five minutes, then the axe was thrown at approximately 9:35 PM. At that moment, “the very last rays of the setting sun were casting a bloody light over the long-shadowed grounds,” (PA17) so it was just before sundown.[3]
In "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid, an older person, who perhaps appears to be the young girl's mother, starts to demonstrate to a young girl how to do certain tasks and then later seems to be scolding the girl because she, the mother, believes that the child is growing up to be a "slut" (355). In "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin, the author writes about how a repressed Mrs. Louise Mallard, who learns about the alleged death of her husband, finally breaks free from being controlled by him, but at the end, her husband comes back home unharmed and Louise dies along with her relinquished freedom. Both texts revolve around the loss of sense of freedom of Mrs. Louise Mallard and the girl. Although the characters come from different cultures and are
In conclusion, based on the book if someone is going to give a gift they should only give currency or its close substitute. However, in today’s society there is a stigma
. I found Bryan Cox’s answers to be the most interesting because I can relate and connect with him the most as I, as well, plan on living at home and commuting. With all the things he had mentioned such as home-cooked meals and wake-up calls, I feel that there will be more time for me to focus on my studies and less on errands and the duties of living on my own as I will have my family to help me out. Another point that I found interesting from Bryan’s answer was when he said “I don’t necessarily have all the freedom I’d have if I were living on campus.” This answer is interesting to me because usually students would insist to live on campus instead of living at home because they would have more freedom without typical family restrictions such as curfew, going to bed early,
Louis Mallard had a heart disease that was taken very serious by her family members, when the news came out about her husband's death her family made sure to break the news to her very sincerely.

She was astounded when she heard that Mr. Mallard was in a fatal railroad accident, she could only think of what would come of her future without him. She began to think of all the positive things that followed Mr. Mallard's passing. Although, she was thinking that she was wrong for being so positive in a situation like this. All of sudden,
Although giving a gift can be a nice thought, it can also cause difficulty. If the gift is accepted, it changes the atmosphere of the worker and the client, if the gift if declined, it may hurt the client's feelings.

“The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin tells a story with a negative view of marriage by expressing to the reader a woman who is clearly ecstatic that her spouse had just died. This is negative view is expressed through the language in the story. For example, Kate Chopin uses the language to describe Louise’s emotions as she goes between numbness and extreme happiness by her new freedom she had acquired.

In the second place it’s necessary to compare the ways of behavior of Russian and American negotiators. Be ready to that your counterpart from Russia will not be in time. It is quite appropriate in this country, so do not wait any excuses. What is more is that the higher is the rank of your colleague in the company the more probability he or she will be late for much time. On the contrary it is inappropriate and very offensive for your counterpart in the USA to be late, as every businessperson in this country follows the rule “time is money”. Gift giving in the USA is discouraged by many firms and companies, because
