CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABILITY Our common future requires individual concern and the assumption that the environment will exhaust its resource at one point.  The genesis of the concept of sustainability was in the Brundtland Report in 1987. The document focused on a better life for humankind on one side and challenges inflicted by nature on the other side. These issues were raised by the United Nations that saw the need to address the negative impact of economic, environmental, and societal development and globalization consequences. In this paper, my core interest is to focus on environmental conservation, look in detail the aspect of economic and social sustainability, and the factors that should be preserved and sustained. The initiative and ideas aimed at preserving sustainability resources rely on three distinct areas: economic, environmental, and society. With industrialization and the advancement in technology, there is a need to develop solutions to cater to the negative effect of this achievement for balanced economic development. Thus, acting on the guiding for environmental conservation and inventing energy-saving development eradicate the emission of carbon dioxide and preserve the…

What is the economic advantage of a trade secret? Please explain why. A trade secret is any practice or process carried out in the company, and it is generally not known outside of the company. However, a trade secret economic advantage is considered as the information given by a trade secret over its competitors. It’s usually a product of internal research and development. Therefore, before considering it as a trade secret, a company must make a reasonable effort in concealing the information from the public since the secret has to intrinsically have economic value, and it must contain information. As I tie a knot, trade secrets are a part of a company’s intellectual property. Unlike a patent, a trade secret is not publicly known. Of the three valuation methods for an intangible asset discussed in the chapter, which one would you use and why? Intangible assets are long-lived assets used in the production of goods and services.

Cyberbullying: explaining the cause and effect Every day, more people get connected to the Internet as the upsurge on the use of digital media continues. These new technological developments should be applauded for improving social connectivity. In addition, the electric media and the Internet are great sources of information that also aids in learning. Unfortunately, these electronic media and the proliferation of the Internet have transformed traditional bullying. Cyberbullying can be defined as “an aggressive, intentional act carried out by a group or individual, using electronic forms of contact, repeatedly and overtime against a victim who cannot easily defend him or herself” (Muhonen andJönsson 377). It is a magnified form of bullying whereby the victim is much more exposed to shame and degradation considering the number of new media users. In cyberbullying, the anonymity of the perpetrator makes it more pervasive. Therefore, cyberbullying is a phenomenon that deserves more attention and immediate redress in order to deal with its adverse impact on victims. The causes of cyberbullying are social, and it leads to emotional and physical effects as shown here.…

Name Professor Class Date Universal Basic Income At the advent of Industrialization, the demand for labor was immense, almost dire. Apart from the raw materials and energy source for an industrial establishment, labor availability was a make or break for many proposed industries. As time went by, entrepreneurs and managers alike noticed many drawbacks in the use of human labor. They would get tired and had to be replaced by others, there were inconsistencies in the final products they made, and there was a need to supervise them to ensure that work was done as is required. (Ford Ch.9) asserts that since most of the work done by the labor workforce is predictable and largely repeatable, a computer does not necessarily have to ape everything that a worker has in terms of intelligence in order to take over the work. All that is needed is the specialization of the computer in order to carry out tasks that are commonly carried out and for which workers are paid for. If computers have the potential to replace human labor completely, the number…

Searching for Unifying Forces in the United States of America National unity is a goal that most governments strive to achieve. As the adage states, unity is a strength. This is what a country needs in order to be and remain strong. At the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, Benjamin Franklin expressed this point of view in front of the Continental Congress. A renowned statesman in the history of the United States of America, Franklin remarked that “We must. Indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately” (USHistory.org 1). This means that disunity is costly. However, the United States is such a diverse society that achieving unity has become undeniably difficult. Today, everything seems to divide Americans- from party politics to socioeconomic issues. Culturally, Americans are more divided than ever before. Indeed, the concept of a “Boiling Pot” has morphed into a “Salad Bowl” whereby various xenophobia and anti-multiculturalism characterize national debate. If culture, political and social goals do not unite Americans, what else would unite them? The Presidency is now lesser a…
