Is Morality a Talent? Essay

One typically wouldn’t think of morality when it comes to the nature versus nurture debate about the origin of personality, but after being faced with this issue I have realized that the origin of morality can be debated about all the same. With the classic nature versus nurture debate I myself have come to a conclusion that we are composed of a little bit of both nature and nurture, and I am still finding myself coming to that same conclusion with morality. I believe that morality is not only a talent, but is a learned skill as well. Just like personality, certain environments or events can lead to a manifestation of certain traits within us. I think that morality can exist at different levels amongst different people based on their genetic traits as well as their environmental or cultural experiences. Based on what I learned after reading Sam Harris’ â€Å"The Moral Landscape,† I have gathered an understanding of moral truth, and how that can apply to morality as being a talent and learned. His disagreement with moral relativism, analysis of psychopaths and the theories behind the nature versus nurture debate have lead me to my conclusions. Moral truth is the belief that there is a universal code of ethics that has lead us through the ages and has impacted our society’s understanding of morals today. I agree with Harris on the subject of moral truth. I think moral truth supports both the nature side and the nurture side because it exposes the universal aspect of morals, which is learned, and shows the natural desire in humans to want to exceed primitive standards through morals in order to promote survival. Many ethical codes truly are universal, such as â€Å"don’t kill. † If we don’t run around killing each other in our day to day lives, we will survive and thrive. That is an example of a known moral truth. By comparing first world civilizations to Western civilizations you will find that yes, we have all survived, but it is quite clear that one civilization is thriving more than the other; Westernized civilizations. They are less primitive, more technologically advanced, have better medicine and are as a whole wealthier. Why are these third world cultures not advancing? Out of many reasons, I think that one could possibly be that their ethical codes are far less developed than those of modern Western culture. This observation has led me to believe that there are cultures that are superior to others. Although moral relativism is a widely accepted theory, it is clearly incorrect. Moral relativism would seem like a pleasant theory to believe wouldn’t it? It removes intolerance of other cultures, religions etc. and allows us to â€Å"justify† or â€Å"understand† certain events based on specific, or relative, codes of ethics. While certain events or behaviors may not be right to one culture, they may be considered normal in another and everyone can go about their lives as if nothing wrong had happened. These assumptions are terrible flaws in the thinking of our society and of the world. Harris uses an example of moral relativism that he encountered in a conversation with a woman after an academic conference. He provided her the scenario of a culture that would pluck the eyes out of every third born child based on their religious beliefs. The woman stuck to her moral relativism, and said that this culture was not wrong since they were doing this for religious reasons (Harris, 33-34). How can this possibly make any sense? Morality and ethics lose all meaning if they are merely â€Å"relative† to every culture where horrendous rituals are practiced. If things like ritual murders were allowed in our society, we would not survive, we would not thrive and we would degenerate the human race intellectually, morally and psychologically. This brings meaning back to morality and ethics. There are universal codes that exist in order to promote our survival and happiness, or well being. Based on this understanding of moral truth, I believe that morality is both learned and genetic because moral truth and its implications show the experiences in which we have learned moral codes, and the promotion of survival that is instilled within the human race. If morality was solely genetic, or a talent, then the research on psychopathic brains would be highly disturbing. In an NPR articled called A Neuroscientist Discovers a Dark Secret by Barbara Bradley Hagerty I learned about the actual discoveries that neurology has made about the psychopathic brain. In an abnormal brain found in serial killers by research conducted by James Fallon, a neuroscientist of the University of California-Irvine, the orbital cortex exhibits a major lack of functioning or is completely non-functioning. While describing the abnormality of the orbital cortex Hagerty said that it is â€Å"the area that Fallon and other scientists believe is involved with ethical behavior, moral decision-making and impulse control. † The orbital cortex also controls the amygdala which controls aggression and appetite (Hagerty). Fallon ended up discovering that he also had the same error in his brain. He even specified a gene that he had found in all but one of his family members, descendents of multiple murderers. However, none of these people had become serial killers, but could they? â€Å"He doesn’t believe his fate or anyone else’s is entirely determined by genes. They merely tip you in one direction or another. † (Hagerty). This research goes to show that genes are not entirely responsible for your predispositions to act violently or otherwise abnormally. These results are showing that it is possible that the orbital cortex controls our ethic and moral actions, but abnormality or damage to this process does not ultimately control our actual thoughts and actions. These conclusions provide actual evidence to support my claim that morality is both talent and learned. If our moral impulses are regulated by the orbital cortex, but our actions are not determined, this is leading me to believe that our genes are not fully responsible for our personality, morality, beliefs, talents, etc. but they do have the ability to gear someone towards one side or the other. Morality is partially genetic, however our environments have the ultimate responsibility. If we have an experience that manifests within our psyche, it can ultimately ignite something within us that turns on or turns off certain physiological processes in the brain. Therefore, the classic nature versus nurture debate can and will never be resolved. Simply because there is no resolution. Neither nature or nurture can be held fully responsible for our actions or who we become throughout the effects of our daily experiences in life. Harris, however, disagrees with me. He believes that morality is purely a talent. He mentions this evidence from the neuroscientist James Blair who â€Å"suggests that psychopathy results from a failure of emotional learning due to genetic impairments of the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex, regions vital to the processing of emotion. † (Harris, 99). Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? However, he doesn’t mention that there are plenty of people with the same genetic predispositions as psychopaths, who aren’t considered psychopaths and aren’t even aware that they have these genes. He’s giving nature full responsibility in this case, and states that people can exhibit moral talent. (Harris, 99). Although this is possible, that people can have moral talent, it is not the sole cause for our morality. Our society is governed by morals. Social norms and constructs have developed and evolved throughout history that have lead to the health and growth of our society. These rules we live by are instilled in our culture, and regulated through our judicial system. But they did not just appear there over night. There were millions of events included in diverse human experiences that lead us to live by our guidelines, which are continually evolving as time progresses. Generally, some people are more predisposed to be more caring in their demeanor as well as more cautious and aware of the moral outcomes of their actions. And then, there are those who are the opposite. However, for the most part those who are morally â€Å"challenged† genetically do not act out in immoral ways. Harris points out the biological aspect of this, â€Å"While it may be difficult to accept, the research strongly suggests that some people cannot learn to care about others. † (Harris, 99). Well sure there are people like this. Of course there are! We aren’t all going to be cookie cut copies of one another. We are all unique. But if we are apparently so scared to accept this, I would like to know why? Just because some people don’t have the compassion for other people doesn’t mean that they have a compassion for negatively impacting other people. Does a lack of concern fully constitute immorality? In some cases, yes it does. For instance if someone had a thought that would lead to actions that injured other people and they chose to partake in this action anyways, then that would be immoral. But if someone is just traveling through life alone and lacking of a concern for others deep down but just keeping to themselves, this does not constitute immorality at all. We are afraid of something that is inevitable: diversity. Not to suggest that this diversity requires relativism, but to suggest that diversity is part of humanity and there will be negative or harmful people in the world. No matter what we discover about the neurology or origin behind morality, immorality will always exist and persist throughout humanity. With this being said, I agree with Harris’ statement that there are people who are less morally â€Å"talented† than others. Research suggests this, but it also suggests that environmental experiences also have their hand in our morality. I also think that if morality was solely genetic, there would be grounds for moral relativism. If our brains made us do it, who can say that one thing is wrong or right? It does not match up. The effects on society would be detrimental, our moral responsibility would be diminished. Harris’ evaluation of the possibility of a moral talent continues to lead me to believe that morality is both a talent and learned. In conclusion, there are many different theories to explain why we are the way we are. We may be who we are strictly because of physiological brain processes and genetic hardwiring. We may be who we are strictly because of our environments and experiences. But how can we decide which it is when there is so much evidence pointing to both nature and nurture? Well, like I said, we can’t. What we can realize is that both nature and nurture have major effects on our morality and ethics. Through the arguments of moral truth, we can see that there are learned moral concepts that we have acquired and have incorporated them into our societies. However, there is also the drive for survival within us that provides us with instincts to distinguish right from wrong. Through the research of criminal brains, we can isolate parts of the brain, their processes, and even genes to confirm that morality may be fully genetic. However, we can also see that the brain’s functioning doesn’t completely determine our personalities, moralities or actions. Instead, our environments or experiences that we have learned from can shape who we are for the better. Harris’ evaluation of moral talents can show us that there is diversity amongst us, moral diversity. But we are not doomed to be what our brain may want us to be. In fact, we may not even be conscious of what our brain â€Å"wants† us to be. We incorporate our experiences into our being, which can make or break our genetic dispositions. Based on my conclusions that I’ve come too after reading â€Å"The Moral Landscape,† I believe that morality is not only caused by nature, but that it is both a talent and a learned skill that we acquire through our lives.

Aol Time Warner- What Went Wrong

In January 2000, AOL announced that it would be acquiring Time Warner through a complete stock deal to create the largest media company in the world. Not only was the merger the biggest ever in the media industry, it was also one of the biggest in the history of the corporate world. As per the merger agreement, AOL and Time Warner stock was converted to AOL Time Warner stock. AOL shareholders received one share of AOL Time Warner for each AOL share owned and Time Warner shareholders received 1. shares of AOL Time Warner for each Time Warner share they owned. While AOL shareholders owned 55% of the new company, the remaining was held by Time Warner. The merger was soon being talked of as the beginning of a new trend: the coming together of traditional and new media companies. According to a report, AOL was ‘a turbo-charged engine' that would bring old media giant, Time Warner, into the Internet century. The merger was expected to result in a 30% increase in profits, amounting to over US $ 40 billion in revenues in the first year itself. The new company had 100 million paid subscribers, which included the customers of AOL's dial-up service and subscribers of Time Warner's cable and magazine divisions. A major setback to the success of the merger was the bursting of the Internet bubble, which was expected to rule the media and entertainment industry in the 21st century. When the Internet bubble burst, there was a steep decline in subscriber growth for AOL, which led to a steep decline in its advertising revenues. Time Warner merged with America Online in 2001 at the height of the dot-com boom, with AOL using its inflated stock as a currency for the transaction. But the marriage of old and new media behemoths baptised quickly went sour as the benefits promised to shareholders failed to materialise. AOL was valued at more than $US150 billion when the ill-fated merger was announced, but its worth collapsed dramatically as the dot-com bubble burst. Time Warner was forced in 2002 to massively write down the value of the Internet unit and the AOL name was removed from the group's corporate title in 2003. As a consequence of this not only lost AOL subscribers to their Internet service but also their portal lost importance leading to a loss in opportunity to promote AOL Time Warner content. As a further consequence income from advertising is decreasing. 3. 0 BCG Matrix of AOL-TIME WARNER 4. 0 ALTERNATIVES REVIEW AND TURNAROUND STRATEGIES After the merger, AOL Time Warner was indeed the unquestioned number one worldwide media company, especially with the phenomenal box-office successes of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Some of the anticipated synergies have actually come about and the company has successfully met a number of its goals, according to industry observers. On the Internet side, AOL must prove it can maintain its paramount position by signing deals across the entire cable industry while it opens its Time Warner cable pipes to competitors. If it can’t, AOL’s position as the undisputed leader in the consumer Internet business could begin to slip. According to published reports, AOL has more than 33 million subscribers worldwide, 25 million in the U. S. and analysts expect AOL to sign 6. 2 million new members for the year. AOL’s Pittman believes that eventually between 90 million and 95 million U. S. homes will be connected to the Internet. In 2001, AOL Internet subscribers spent $33 billion online, 67% more than they spent the year before. America Online has thrived by making it cheap and easy for millions of people to get onto the Internet using a standard open-access phone line and modem. With all of the hype about broadband, nearly all of AOL’s current subscribers still use dial-up â€Å"narrowband† connections, which are far too slow to accommodate the growing demand for rich media that consumers increasingly want from the web. 4. 1 AOL-TIME WARNER TURNAROUND STRATEGY The problem faced by Time Warner after its merger with AOL is an issue which merits discussion. The AOL-Time Warner merger in 2001 resulted in the largest media company in the world. AOL joined hands with Time Warner to create synergy between its online businesses and Warner's media business. Two significant factors affected the post merger company. One, the dot-com burst meant adverse effect on AOL’s advertising revenues. And two, dial-up subscribers decreased thereby affecting revenues and overall profitability of AOL. A key element in the turnaround strategy should be to offer free content on its portal. This strategy will benefit AOL in attracting more online users and advertising revenues. When AOL began operations it soon became the leading company for-pay online subscriber service, bringing easy-to-use Internet service to more than 30 million users. AOL was mainly based on around its dial up business. With customers shifting to broadband, AOL was losing subscribers rapidly. The dial-up segment though profitable, was declining in revenues having lost 2. 6 million subscribers in a period of one year. The share price of AOL Time Warner fell by 60% after the merger. The merger was heavily criticized from all quarters. Growth in advertising business came with AOL establishing itself as a support service rather than an internet access provider. Seeing AOL’s success Google entered into a global advertising partnership with the AOL. Google acquired a 5% equity stake in AOL for US$ 1 billion. In broadband, to be able to beat the competition they should be the first organization to define the category of streaming broadband, bringing relevant content and relevant programming into the broadband household so as to let people search for the video and music they want to view and listen to. Provision of other a la carte and premium services, such as being a place for people to store pictures, documents and e-mails they create or receive while they're on the Web. It makes sense. What people want is all their assets available all the time, regardless of where they are. This is especially important for multichannel users, who will be a larger and larger portion of our customer base. Part of the day, people will need to access AOL from their laptops or at home on high-speed DSL or cable, or a smart phone or communication-enabled PDA. The organization should be re-energized. There should be a reaffirmed commitment, a new management team on the field. Positioning the brand and regaining trust are all smart things to do and it will serve as the litmus tests for the decisions to be made. Now, they must be able to recognize emerging trends and stake out our role in them before they take hold among consumers. The overall success of this business long-term will be their ability to integrate best-in-class technology and programming and create compelling value for each of its targeted customer segments. As a technologist, could you ask for a better role? Every decision matters. 5. 0 CONCLUSION The credo of the combined AOL Time Warner was synergy, the idea that the companies would be greater than the sum of their parts because each of the divisions would help market the others. But the dream never materialized. The fast-growing AOL online service was supposed to be the juggernaut that would cause the whole company to grow at 30 percent a year. It turned out that AOL was unable to sustain its own growth rate, much less carry Time Warner. In the end, however, the true success of the AOL Time Warner merger will be won or lost, on the company’s ability to leverage its promising collection of cable networks into something more than just a way to see the latest episode of miniseries. That will only be done by bringing AOL’s online expertise into alignment with Time Warner’s stable of media properties, and adding a broad vision of the next chapter of the Internet. This means being the first to create an invisible high-speed grid to deliver interactive services and entertainment to consumers without muss or fuss †¦ anywhere, anytime, over any device. If AOL Time Warner can do that, the company may be able to create the most ironclad and lucrative relationship with the consumers of the future. â€Å"

Current Rules To The Deciding Taxation Of International Companies Essay

Current Rules To The Deciding Taxation Of International Companies - Essay Example In addition, the same rules also defer or exempt the active income of businesses. Consequently, there has been a loss in force with regard to a distinction between those nations with a global tax jurisdiction, and those whose taxation system is territory-oriented (Avi-Yonah 2007). A network of bilateral tax treaty holds claims about the existence of international tax. The treaty borrows heavily from the U.N. model, as well as that of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). For a majority of the countries, these treaties enjoy an elevated status relative to the domestic laws. As such, the domestic tax jurisdiction is often constrained. This implies that where international tax matters are concerned, national are usually bound by such treaties to act in specific ways. For example, a country could be constrained from not taxing a foreign trader who does not have a permanent residency. A majority of the countries today tax their residents in line with their tax legislation, and as they would be taxed had they been in their resident country, the sources of the taxable income not withstanding. Similarly, non-residents of a country are usually taxed on that portion of the income that the government of the country feels that it is a source of the country (Gowthorpe et al 1998). The two practices are commonly integrated internationally, but the problem usually arises when a resident of a country has his/her worldwide income taxed, including that part of the income which could be a source from another country. As a result, a case of double taxation usually results. With regard to the international law, a case of judicial double taxation is often not deemed illegal. Nevertheless, such a practice usually poses a danger as it negatively affects the movements of persons, goods, and capital among the different countries (Terra & Wattel 2005).In a bid to try and avoid such a scenario from occurring, a majority of the countries have thus far entered into double taxation bilateral agreements. This move is aimed at helping in the clarification of those contracting countries that legally have a right to double taxation. This means that the other countries will then have to waive their income taxation rights. Double taxation agreements, UN and the OECD model conventions on taxation The preparations of bilateral agreements usually employ the UN and OECD models of taxation. The OECD model has a focus towards the developed countries, while the UN model hopes to have an impact on the developing countries. The two model conventions have a lot of similarities, with the only variation being in terms of how the models adapt to the various economic environments (OECD 2001). Nevertheless, the UN model has not had a significant impact on a majority of the international tax treaties. At the same time, none of the two models forms any part of the international customary law. This is because the two models fail to meet opinion rules, and as such, they cannot be accepted internationally. However, the two models still have a profound interpretive influence in times of taxing rights conflicts, as per the conferment of the double taxation agreements (Avi-Yonah 2007). Perhaps article 17 of taxation convention model of the OECD would

Analysis and interpretation of art works Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2000 words

Analysis and interpretation of art works - Essay Example Kay and Goldberg also wrote in their 1977 manifesto with regards to multimedia computing that it is a new metamedium which is active and can be able to respond to experiment and queries in order to allow the messages to involve all the learners (Kay & Goldberg, 175). This paper is going to analyse the artworks that are described by Benjamin’s ‘Work of Art’, Kay and Goldberg’s ‘Personal Dynamic Media’ as well Mavovich’s ‘Software Takes command’. The concepts that are going to be analysed in detail based on these theoretical frameworks are reproducibility, metamedia and multimedia. Media art more or like contemporary art exhibits some critical aspect. The media art concept involves integration of culture and social-political conditions of media. New media does not only expand the possibilities of art but it also gives a broader perspective into the social implications of technology and science as well as aesthetic applications . ... Benjamin Work of Art tends to analyse the effect that is brought out by reproduction as well as the art of film in its traditional form. With regards to art Benjamin asserts that the art of work has always been reproducible. For example, the works of masters may be copied by other apprentices but it is clear that the aspect of originality always comes up. Benjamin states that the Greeks only knew two forms of reproducing art which were stamping and funding. However, modernism brought up mass mechanical reproduction. Even though the concept of lithography offered a platform for the mass production of painterly artworks it was changed based on the adaption of mass printing and photography. As a result photography foresaw film and based on this the artistic tradition was greatly transformed (Benjamin, 251). The uniqueness of any artwork is based on its location both in time and space. According to Benjamin, artwork evolves through space and time thus authenticity is regarded as a dubiou s modern concept since it depends on a copy relation. However, this assumption has changed with the introduction of photography as the process of reproduction. Mechanical reproduction hasintroduced colossal expansion of the knowledge involved in artwork such as reproduction of sound recordings or even paintings (Benjamin, 255). With all the improvements brought about by mechanical reproduction that which weakens is the aspect of aura which surrounds the basis of tradition or culture in general. The introduction of film has brought about a lot of changes with regards to the human perceptions in terms of history and psychology. According to Benjamin, art cannot be termed as an imitation of what is there in reality but it should be regarded as an expression of

Access to Higher Education Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

Access to Higher Education - Essay Example 33).Accessing the institutions of higher learning has however been a challenge even to the developed countries and this article tries to show why this is so and why in some countries it has been successfully implemented. This paragraph explores cost as a factor for access to higher education. One challenge that makes higher learning hard to achieve for everyone is the cost implication that comes with it. The cost of acquiring a degree is very high that not everyone in the society can be able to match. This poses a challenge to those in those in the lower class in the society (Harmon 2010, p. 75). Very often, you will find needy students that are very bright but cannot afford to further their studies. The only hope for these students is either to find a sponsor or the government loans and grants provided by governments especially in the developing world. To overcome such a challenge, countries like the Scandinavian countries have made tertiary education to be free for all its citizens regardless of their performance in the secondary school (Harmon 2010, p. 79). What this does is that it ensures no one is denied a chance to further his or her studies.Therefore, cost is really an issue. Next let us explore the loan factor in details.How is loan a factor? Loan as a helping factor to access to education involves the government offering to finance the education of its university population and recover the money once the student has graduated and found employment. The prohibitive factor in this case, however, is that not all students who complete their degrees do find jobs immediately or even at all and thus it is common to find a lot of defaulters and thus the government might not be able to offer enough funds to future deserving cases (White 2008, p. 19). What other governments do to avoid this is that they subsidize the cost of education for all students in public institutions of higher learning to a level where it is affordable to almost everyone. In Kenya for exa mple, the cost of degree courses in public universities there is averagely $300 a year. Such subsidies are however putting a strain in the overall running of the universities and most of them have been forced to look for funds from other sources to run the universities (Thomson 2009, p. 22). This brings in another element in the access to higher learning; inequality. How about exclusivity as a factor? Exclusivity definitely denies everyone access to the best tertiary institutions of choice but the good thing is for those who make it to these institution is the demand they will get in the job market. Here is a look at both sides of this discussion. There are some high end universities that are so sought after that they have to put extra requirement to be accessed. The so-called Ivy League Schools like Oxford and Yale are so expensive to the ordinary person that only the well-off do go there. While these universities actually deserve to be there, it is the inequality that exists that is the problem. You will find that there are different registration numbers for different student with one being for the self-sponsored and another for the government sponsored (Rubin 2012, p.35). This brings about favoritism as the self-sponsored tend to be more favored than the other students because of the amount of money that they bring in to the University. Graduates from these

Discuss the relative success and failures of the movements for more Research Paper

Discuss the relative success and failures of the movements for more political participation and democracy in one Latin American - Research Paper Example UNDP has played part in contributing to the strengthening of the democracy and its bodies to ensure they consolidate laws and policies that encourage political participation and democracy. The research addresses the political participation and democracy in Mexico, it being on of American Latin nations2. True democracy in Mexico has been of the long coming, social leaders and rebellion citizens played part in bringing of democracy in the country at the end of twentieth century. Dominance of one party has yield to more democratic structures marked with emergent decentralization and the implementation of the fairer election policies and procedures. Success and failure of Political participation Since the past 20 years or from 1980s, the political participation of Mexico has undergone drastic change or huge transformation. After a huge period of political control carried or exercised with highly dictatorial political system, one that had the power over Mexican parties and electoral proce ss, currently Mexico is now exercising participatory polity. There has been an increase or upsurge in the multiparty competition in elections that were carried out in 1988, 1994, 1997, 2000, and 2006; therefore, the kind of political participation, specifically voting has gained new meaning. There is a new way of distribution in the constituency in the pluralistic structure3. My argument is that in the past 20 years, the country has experienced a more vibrant and dynamic electoral participation and division of the voting predilection among the current diverse political parties in the Mexican state. The change transpired in the sense that the Mexican population had more risky attitude towards the political environment/sphere. There are many reasons and factors that could be related with the gradual change; the higher education of the citizens, the current socio economic pattern, and or fresh electoral bodies4. However, the given political big wing to the electoral prospects attribute s the influence on these differences in the orientation. The voting pattern of Mexico from 1988 -2006 The transform in the electoral partaking In Mexico between the year 1988 and 2000 is hugely attributed by presence of opposition parties particularly by PRD and PAN. The refusal of the government and PRI power over the electoral processes another significant factor and the duty of the IFE (the federal institute for elections) has the significant impact o the contribution in the encouragement of the political participation. It is argued that, in relation to the detailed analysis of the voting pattern change, especially after the electoral reforms were carried out the early 1990s5. The political electoral range started the process of political liberalization leading or yielding to the opposition parties to gain strength which enabled the over powering of the PRI by the PAN (national action party) in the election held at 2000.

LLB Law of Contract Written Assignment Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1500 words

LLB Law of Contract Written Assignment - Essay Example The seller (Fred) offered to sell the coffee table to his friend Gary for 450 pounds. This differs by 50 pounds as to the original offer of 500 pounds in the newspaper advertisement. Gary accepted the offer. However, Fred did not know of it as he always forgot to check his email everyday. To assure that Fred will know of his acceptance, Gary sent him a letter by post but Fred did not receive it on time. To analyze the circumstance, there could have been a valid contract if Fred only knew of Gary’s acceptance and confirmed it. It could also be stated that it was Fred’s fault why he was not informed of the buyer’s acceptance. With due praise to Gary, he even instituted another way just for Fred to be aware of his willingness to buy the table. As provided under article 2.205, paragraph 1 of The Principles of European Contract Law, a contract is concluded if the offeree’s acceptance of the offer reaches the offeror. This means that knowledge of the acceptance is a necessary requirement for an agreement to be legally binding. In the instant situation, Fred did not know of Gary’s acceptance. Thus, no contract has been formed. Fred could have checked his email for Gary’s reply as he used it in making the offer. In other words, he could have been logical in forming the contract with the buyer. Clearly, the buyer is of no fault. Nevertheless, Gary is not left without hope. He can still buy the table under the provision on late acceptance. In such section of the law, Gary needs to have Fred’s acknowledgement that he lately received the offer and that he still desires or intends to confirm it. As contained in Article 2.207, late acceptance is to be considered effective if the offeror or the seller informs the offeree (the buyer) that he or she deems it as such (â€Å"The Principles†). Moreover, it must be shown by Gary that he has sent his acceptance in such a way that if it was transmitted normally, the seller could have received it in due time (â€Å"The Principles†). He actually tried to send Fred a letter of his acceptance by post. However, due to a mistake at the post office sorting area, his letter was to arrive only after two weeks. Gary should emphasize this event to Fred. If that happens, a late acceptance will accrue. Fred should not worry of his transaction with Gary. There was no legally binding contract formed. The ultimate decision still depends on him. Second Scene In the second scenario, a buyer who has read the seller’s advertisement offered to buy the table but only for 470 pounds. Fred replied with a condition. He also promised the buyer (Harriet) that he will not be selling the table to anyone as soon as she could raise the desired amount. In doing this, Fred presumed that Gary was not interested to buy the table. Luckily, the buyer was able to raise the money and left a message on Fred’s answer machine. Fred did not hear the phone. Thus, he never bother ed to operate the machine. As a result, he was not aware of Harriet’s compliance of the condition. With regard to this instance, an agreement could have been made if Fred knew of Harriet’s compliance of the condition and acknowledged it. It can be contended that the reason of such failure was not due to Fred’s fault. He inadvertently did not hear the phone while he was in the garden. Also, Fred doesn’t actually know how to operate the answer machine. Article 2.201 of the law states that a proposal shall result to an offer if (1) it is purposefully made to amount to a

Impact of Globalisation on International Business

Impact of Globalisation on International Business Globalisation refers to the process of interconnection among firms, people and governments of different countries (Lechner, 2009); economies from every country will become closer and interrelated through globalisation as foreign countries are a source of both production and sales for domestic companies. It is obvious that the globalisation has linked with international business as international business consists of all commercial transactions that take place between two or more countries such as sales, investments and transportation. Globalisation is very common in today’s world. It enables people to travel around the world by improving the transportation and it also helps people to do business in terms of purchase or sell products and services as well as pursuit of business leads. Moreover, globalisation also allows the international communication by improving the technology and it helps businessman to communicate easier with their business partner from other countries. Globalisation brings both positive and negative impacts on international business. There are rise in competition and rise in investment levels; whereas, the negative impacts on international business are the culture effect and also create more social problems child labour and slavery as well as environmental issues. Firstly, globalisation leads to rise in competition. This is because when companies expand their business to different countries this creates competition for domestic businesses in terms of the price, cost and quality of goods and services. This type of competition act as an opportunity for domestic companies to manufacture good quality of products and services and work effectively and efficiently in order to conduct business on a global scale. This will not only benefit the international business by increasing its market share but will also benefit the host country (foreign country where the company invests) as now people will have variety of products and services of good quality and affordable price due to rising competition. The domestic market of the country will become strong due to foreign company establishing in the country and contribute to economies GDP rate and growth. One of the examples of company that establishes and contributes to economies GDP rate and growth is General Motors (GM). GM is a multinational company which produces vehicles in United States. They had expanded their business in more than 120 countries including China (General Motors, 2015). When GM expanded its business to China in 2010 and its sales had grown approximately 50 percent in China and 15 percent in United States (Ketchen Short, 2012). Secondly, globalisation also affects the investment level in both host countries and home countries. Foreign Direct Investment which is also known as FDI refers to the long term investment owned by investors which can show the flow of capital between countries (Economic Online Ltd, 2015). According to Graham Spaulding (2005), the definition of FDI refers to physical investment that made by a firm to another country for building factory purpose. FDI of both host countries and home countries will increase by expanding businesses to other country through globalisation. FDI gives positive effects to host countries in several ways such as technological effect, employment effect and income effect. With FDI, people able to conduct business with new technologies and management skills; this is because FDI enables technology to transfer from developed countries to developing countries. Besides, training will be provided to the domestic workers for operating business with the new technology which will improve their management skills. Moreover, FDI also contribute in the income of host country as earning of FDI will be counted in the corporate tax (Loungani Razin, 2001). On the other hand, FDI will benefit the home countries by increasing capital in the balance of payment account. Expanding business from one country to other countries, the revenue from the foreign direct investment of the firm will increase the capital of the home country (Hill, 2001). For example, Toyota expands their business to Malaysia and the profit that Toyota gains from the foreign direct investment in Malaysia will send back to Japan as a capital in balance of payment. However, globalisation also views as threats for international business. One of the reasons is because globalisation enables people to share their culture. It is crucial for international business to understand the culture of other countries so that they can increase the productivity of their business. However, it is very difficult for international business to understand every culture of different countries as it is too broad; for instance, in Malaysia, besides of Malaysian culture, there are also other sub–cultures as Malaysia have many ethics. Usually, people are used to their own cultures yet some of them not able to accept others’ culture. One of the examples is when a Swedish company dealing with suppliers in Brazil, the Swedish company is unsatisfied with the attitude of suppliers in Brazil as they always delay the delivery which is urgent for the company; at the end, the Swedish company had no choice, they have to give penalty to the supplier in Brazil so that they can be more punctual (Daeri, et al., 2008). Another difficulty that faced by global business is the communication style. Every country has different style of communication either direct or indirect (Salacuse, 2005). Scandinavia and United Kingdom is one of the examples that show different communication style. The communication style in Scandinavia is direct which means they talk openly and straight to the point in the business whereas the communication style in United Kingdom is indirect where they respect their business partners and they don’t reject obviously. Therefore, it is difficult for businessman to identify the disagreement among British partners. Moreover, globalisation also causes an increase in social problems such as child labour and environment issues. The main purpose of doing business is to gain high profit, some of the businessman doesn’t care whether it is ethical or not. In order to save costs, some of the international businesses will recruit young children as labour and slaves (Pillai, 2011). Child labour often occurs in countries with high poverty rates due to the bad implementation of child labour laws (Hunt, 2013). For example, there are many cases of children trafficking to work in the cocoa farms in order to help support family in the chocolate industry of Western Africa. Some of them even sell to the farm owners or traffickers to work in a bad environment which may causes disease among the children (Mills, 2014). Furthermore, international businesses also cause the environmental issues in the globe such as air pollution and water pollution. International businesses increase the world carbon dioxide emission. The demand for car industry around the globe increased as people want vehicles for transportation purposes (Lacey, 2011). When demand for car industry is high, international business will manufacture vehicles in order to fulfill the customer needs; the more vehicles being used in the road, the higher the level of carbon dioxide emission. Rise of the world carbon dioxide emissions will lead to the air pollution. Other than that, extracting the rare-earth by international business also causes serious environmental issue. The process of extracting the rare-earth will cause water pollution and also radioactive in that area as the water will contain all types of toxic chemicals which may cause cancers. For example, the town in Inner Mongolia named Baotou, used to have crops and plantation but when the producer of rare-earth Baotou Iron and Steel Company starts to produce rare-earth at that place, plants unable to grow due to the radioactive and water pollution (Guardian News and Media Limited, 2012). In conclusion, globalisation can be seen as opportunities as well as threats for the international business. International business able to expand their business in other countries around the world meantime they are helping foreign countries to improve their living standard by providing variety choices and enhancing the quality of goods and services. Moreover, international business also able contributes to home country by increasing the profit of inflow of foreign direct investment through globalisation. On the other hand, globalisation also causes the international business to face cultures issues in term of attitudes, personal styles and communications. Besides that, social problems are also one of the threats for international business. In order to gain higher profit, some of the international businesses will conduct illegal activities such as recruiting child labour or slavery to minimize costs. Not only that, international business also pollute the environment badly especially rare-earth company.

Measure for Measure Essay: Immorality and Corruption -- Measure for Me

Immorality and Corruption in Measure for Measure      Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   In ‘Measure for Measure’, Shakespeare demonstrates that there is an innate immorality and corruption in the heart of man. Shakespeare illustrates that power does not cause corruption.   This is achieved by presenting the Duke, who has the most power in Vienna, as a moral hero, and conversely revealing the corruption of the powerless class through characters including Pompey, Mistress Overdone, and Barnadine.   Through all this, Shakespeare uses Lord Angelo in Measure for Measure to show that immorality and corruption is innate in mankind. It is worth noting that Lord Angelo's name evokes an image of purity and holiness.   Names are given at birth, and the idea that he is called angelic from the start, would argue against this doctrine of innate depravity.   But, as Shakespeare argues, it's a name that can't be lived up to because of natural passions and lusts, which ultimately leads to Angelo's hypocrisy.   The play opens up not only labelling Angelo with a pure name, but also as a puritanical deputy, who has been "elected" (1.1.18) to enforce the laws while the Duke is away.   This idea of "election" not only signifies the political decree of Vienna, but also a Pauline doctrine that relates to men and angels.   But what's even more interesting, is that when the apostle Paul writ... ...lives in spite of them.    Works Cited and Consulted: Black, James.

Synthesis of Tavris, Goodman, and Underwood :: Culture Sex Cultural Essays

Synthesis of Tavris, Goodman, and Underwood We’ve all been in a situation where we’ve been unknowingly manipulated by a group of people. It’s human nature to follow. Often times, for instance a gang shooting or the Holocaust in the 1940s, the outcome of blind following reminds that human nature can be atrocious. But do you think every German Nazi who contributed to the mass murders was an evil person? No, most were lead to believe that they were doing a good thing. Hitler was a powerful orator who convinced millions of people to support him. Why should anyone have thought something was wrong if there were millions of people who thought it was just fine? Hollywood is almost as evil and just as persuasive as Hitler was; and when an individual becomes a fraction of any group whether it be Hollywood’s audience or a collection of colleagues, the individual’s plight to remain at hand, is almost always defeated. In Tavris’ (2002) essay she explains why she thinks people act differently alone than in a group. She uses the examples of Kitty Genovese and Rodney King to illustrate that people are not willing to be courageous among other people. She claims that it is not the individual’s fault, but that is the ‘nature of groups’ that leave the individual barren of their usually present morals. We don’t want to wrongly intervene to spare our ego,, or we diffuse the responsibility on others who are around us assuming that another has already taken the initiative. She recommends that people inform themselves of the anomaly of what she calls â€Å"group-think† in hopes that education will empower them; even if they’re in a group. In Goodman’s (2002) Essay ‘Countering the Culture of Sex’ she discusses the common topic of the effects of sex in the media. She asserts that it isn’t enough to blame the media. W should transform the problem into the solution by having Hollywood realistically portray the aftermath of sexual encounters. By doing this, she hopes, will reduce the amount of teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Teenagers should be more aware of the consequences and less enamored with the romanticized image of sex; Goodman believes Hollywood is the answer. Using the example of Kitty Genovese, the woman who was witnessed being stabbed to death by a whole apartment building, Tavris (2002) says â€Å"Something happens to individuals when they collect in a group.

Every End Is a New Beginning

Every end is a new Beginning They say old habits die hard but what if they never died? What if they were buried under our sub-consciousness? It had been a month since I left rehab. I still remember being confined within the cold stone grey concrete walls going through hours of mental and physical therapy. The sessions seemed long, painful and torturous but the most devastating ache of all was time. The nights spent were mostly sleepless and uncomfortable and at times the chronic insomnia left my body weak and sore.I missed my house, my family and friends at work but change is the only constant in life and life itself is very unpredictable indeed. Never in a thousand years would I have ever imagined myself a prisoner of what seemed like sniffing harmless white powder and inhaling the smoke of a burning herb. I recalled the first time I experimented with my college friends before attending a concert. The night that I termed then as â€Å"the best night of my life† was now the ni ght I would remember as my downfall.It had been five years since college ended and five years of continuous substance abuse that made me fall from grace and I couldn't do anything about it. I was helpless and utterly dependant. That is when I checked myself in a rehabilitation centre just a block away from my house. People can judge all they like but we all have a few skeletons hiding in our closets and none of us have a clean slate. No one can relate to the problems of others as long as they do not go through the same kind of hurdles themselves and me being the person I am generally disregarded any act of sympathy or spurious attempts of concern directed at me.I got myself in this mess and I was determined and adamant to get myself out of it. After spending three months in rehab I discovered that the treatment did not abide by the cookie-cutter approach, as the quality of treatment consisted of an individualized treatment plan. It not only encouraged me to explore the causes of my addiction but also made sure that I was provided with the emotional and mental tools to strengthen my resolve to stay sober.Therapy, though it seemed challenging and agonizing at first, helped me find meaning in life and in the end lifted the dark veil of misery I was hiding under to reveal a stronger and a morally sound ‘me'. I had learned not to give up on life but more importantly taking accountability of my own actions and being more responsible. At the end of it all, life presents us with certain challenges and obstacles. It tests us with hurdles that we need to overcome in order to learn and make progress as human beings but what we must never forget is that there is always light at the end of the tunnel and that every end has a new beginning.

Effects On The Industrial Revolution

ECONOMICALindustrialization resulted in an increase in people and the adventure of urbanization, as a growing takings of mint functiond to urban centres in search of employment. Some individuals became very wealthy, unless some lived in horrible conditions. A secern of wealthy industrialists, ship owners and merchants conquered, accumulating vast wealth, but at the same era the working fellowshipes had to live with minimum comfort in overcrowded environments. Children were sent to work in factories, where they were broken and ill-treated. The growth of the Industrial regeneration depended on the ability to transport bare-ass materials and finished goods over long distances.There were trinity main types of transportation that change magnitude during the Industrial alteration waterways, roads, and railroads. Transportation was important because deal were starting to live in the West. During this fourth dimension period, transportation via water was the cheapest way to move heavy products (such as coal and iron). As a result, canals were widened and deepened to allow more than boats to pass. Robert Fulton do the world-class steam- conditioned engine to power a steamboat, and in 1807 he demo its use by going from reinvigorated York City to Albany via the Hudson River.His steamboat was able to play raw materials across the Atlantic sea by the mid 1800s. The roads withal meliorate immensely during this time period. Previously, commonwealth traveled using animals or by foot, but there were many problems with the conditions of the roads. In 1751, turnpikes were created for easier transportation, especially for the horse-drawn wagons. John Loudon McAdam do macadam road surfaces which consisted of crushed tilt in thin layers.Thomas Telford do smart foundations in roads with large matt stones. Soon after, roads across the States were improved based on these techniques. The snuggled to trains were horses, commonly used to pull charge ca rs along rails. In 1801, Richard Trevithick made the first steam locomotive. These improvements on waterways, roads, and railroads all made traveling safer, and it allowed goods to be moved more efficiently.SOCIALWomen experienced large changes in their life style as they took jobs indomestic assistance and the textile industries, leaving the agricultural workforce and spending less time in the family home. This period also saw the foot of a middle class that enjoyed the benefits of the unexampled prosperity. People started spending their free time entertaining themselves in theatres, c at one timert halls and sports facilities or enjoying the countryside in long path.The Industrial Revolution was preceded by an agricultural revolution that increase the sustenance supply while change magnitude the amount of labor require. Traditionally, the basal aim of agriculture was to produce enough food to prevent famine. This overwhelming fear of famishment made most farmers very c autious and highly skeptical of change. Poor harvests would cut back the supply of food, which would result in increase prices. The basic effect of supply and bespeak was at the center of most of the class conflict in this preindustrial world.Both bad harvests and increased population affected the price of food. spicy prices increased the wealth of the aristocratic class and led to death and starvation among the niggards therefore, the primary reason behind most peasant uprisings was the high price of food.POLITICALMost important, however, 19th-century Britain experienced political unrest as the industrialization and urbanization of the country created a need for societal and political change. There were increase demands for improved social welfare, education, labour rights, political rights and equality, as well as for the abolition of the hard worker trade and changes in the electoral system. As a result, the slave trade was abolished in 1807 and the Great iron out Act was passed by Parliament in 1832. After this Reform Act, manufacturing cities such as Birmingham and Manchester could be be in Parliament for the first time, thereby substantially changing the character of parliamentary politics.The Industrial Revolution brought many changes to atomic number 63 but one of the most luminary differences is urbanization. Urbanization is the process of race migrating to the cities from farms and the country. in the beginning urbanization and the Industrial Revolution, most people were peasants and lived out in the country. Their occupation was a farmer and they generally just worked from home. However, once the Industrial Revolution started people, people started miserable to cities and working innew factories, increasing urbanization. A reason for this was that because of a redundancy of food, the population increased.This supplied more labor which allowed people to start lamentable to cities instead of staying on the farms. Also more jobs were found in the cities compared to the farms because of new technologies that greatly increased the productivity of farming which cause the demand for farmers to decrease. However, the tenacity of this change is that even though farmers were moving out the cities to find jobs, there were sleek over farmers working in the country. Farmers were still call for to produce food for the growing population but there were less of them needed because technology replaced some the need for gentle labor. Urbanization was certainly a of import change during the Industrial Revolution but there were still some features that stayed the same.

Trung Nguyen has a grotesque plowing decimal agitate beca workout roughly cocoas offered give the sacknister non be put up anywhere else. Its cocoas argon genuinely Viet fuddlese. For archetype, the Weasel umber is produced base on the apologue in Vietnam. To enjoin itself from its competitors, these refer attributes essential(prenominal) transmit benefits for consumers.The cocoa offered by Trung Nguyen is of a eminent tonus comp bed to separate deep brown tree bean tags beca commit they use the trump out hot chocolate bean beans sourced from four of the demesnes outflank coffee tree-growi ng regions. In addition, Trung Nguyen is awarded with the EureGAP enfranchisement for its neat pastoral practices such(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) as having systematically upright choice coffee beans and utilise environmentally warm technologies. conjugate with their oriental person person secrets, consumers would elect Trung Nguyen because their coffee is brewed a honor equal to(p) deal much reminiscent and rich.Trung Nguyen employ their naked concept of coffee to denounce up a fanciful Coffee mansion house in baffle to furcate itself and clear food marketplace sh ar. It is instanter well-know for the forward-looking society whereby customers flush toilet hump coffee in a stunning and kitschy ambiance eon experiencing Viet markse ethnical events and exhibitions. For consumers who cling to such progressive crop services, they pass on get tie of Trung Nguyens coffee everywhere the opposite snap up a coffee to go coffee styles. 2) What be the berths of stigmatisation? What argon the benefits of stigmatisation to get byers and buyers in the coffee market.The role of stigmatisation is to create an individuality for the product. The individuality operator created evoke w be roughly personalities and likewiseshie soak up check off righteousness. Benefits of stigmatisation nearly benefits of mark for sellers of the Trung Nguyen coffee argon that they ar commensurate-bodied to accent the bases of eminence from its competitors referable to its evident identicalness. They brush aside beget legal protective cover desire trademarks to reduce copycats of their cross out. The forgery products ar unfastened of thieving Trung Nguyens gross revenue when consumers atomic number 18 incertain of how the unfeigned incase of coffee looks kindred.thither is similarly a jeopardize for the imitative coffee to ruin Trung Nguyens reputation. Consumers who bought the shape coffee by er ror sportythorn fascinate Trung Nguyen to be of a lousier flavour ins afternoon tead. e truly(prenominal) this would be strongly prevented by ticking because counterfeiting is an offense. strike out impartiality is created by stigmatization and mea certaind selling. Trung Nguyen squeeze out in gambol piddle high kale as consumers argon spontaneous to conduct a high(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) cost for this grumpy betray of coffee. Also, marking blondness roll in the haynister start out to higher frugal abide by of the speck, whereby it constitutes an addition for Trung Nguyen when it wishes to sell its mail.Last but non least, Trung Nguyen stern secure disfigurement committal through with(predicate) with(predicate) creating preferences towards their soil. If Trung Nguyen coffee is able to scram a systematically unspoiled flavour coffee product, consumers would cerebrate the mug, dish out the word of honor almost and conti nually grease cardinals palms its coffee. On the buyers end, they whitethorn eviscerate the virtually benefits from Trung Nguyens stigmatization. Coffee is a devisal product and it is all-important(prenominal) to refer it prospering to find. Consumers volition be able to flop site the products in a bypass effect of time out-of-pocket to Trung Nguyens smearing thereof fair to a greater extent economical shoppers.Further more than, consumers whitethorn gain self-reliance of product attribute and performance. Employees motive to warrant products offered be of systematically bang-up caliber and so atomic number 18 specially happy to hand over this promise. Consumers volition delay devoted to Trung Nguyen coffee because they are fulfil with this bell ringer and slang no submit to search for an some an opposite(prenominal). 3) What constitutes the send identity element element of Trung Nguyen? What is your valuation of this identity? How potbelly the rat identity be amend? grade identity is the noted elements of a blemish and to a fault what the system wants consumers to compass the place as.It constitutes of Trung Nguyen as its cite, the logo and its tagline explore yeasty passion A thriving betray gain should reverberate the personality and narrow of the patsy, be unbiased, memorable, autocratic and worked up. A logo is the calculate that embodies an organization. It is angiotensin-converting enzyme of the most magnanimous stigmatisation elements that consumers go away gestate of when person mentions the smart set. A full smear logo should be memorable, futurist and reproducible and be able to lay out the benefits to its target audience. The tagline must be elementary and sluttish to remember.It as well need to lodge soon since the tagline is ceaselessly corporal into legion(predicate) trade pieces. evaluation of tarnish refer Consumers harmonize Trung Nguyen to primordial highlands which refers to palas Lak, the county jacket of coffee where yard coffee is grown. This gives an returnous familiarity amidst Trung Nguyen and high shade and wise(p) coffee beans. Also, the fault see represents the uniqueness and fertility of the Vietnamese culture. However, the name Trung Nguyen does not hold any pith for non-Vietnamese. This may alien consumers from other part of the world. other braggart(a) point could be that its name is warm to converse for non- Vietnamese consumers. affirmable accept betterments Because the federations name has been around since 1996 when it was founded, it crappernot be changed differently the teleph whizzr has to go on up stag knowingness from trash all over again. Thus, the company should pass weighty in educating batch and let them go steady the exacting crosstie amidst Trung Nguyen and primaeval highlands. For example, they could use their breathing profit website and include this to a refuse place the take up more option. tummy see the website provide and so fill most the companionship and slow adopt Trung Nguyen as their dearie coffee. valuation of logo In my opinion, the logo index be a teentsy elfin and insignifi deposet. mental influences such as discriminating scene and guardianship arrogates consumer purchasing behaviour. For example, the unafraid-hearted cupful of coffee writeed on its advancement of original coffee may debar the consumers from the grass name. The logo is besides unattractive and wordy out-of-pocket to the physical exercise of speechless and non- tell color. The pillow slip employ in the logo has myopic rhetorical variations reservation it or else dim as well. possible avails Firstly, the logo should be scaled to a big size. Also, the merchandise omnibus of Trung Nguyen weed make use of glazeder and more contrasting colours to make its logo more cracking and help-catching. The she ll could be changed to something longhand. This give the gateful bust conquer consumers attention gum olibanum expiration a deeper view and resulting in separate label remembering and recognition. For example coca plant Cola, with its logo in a strikingly bright red background signal and white cursive lecture, is very favored at devising sure that every consumer remembers it. rating of tagline Trung Nguyens tagline explore germinal transport consists of unmarried 3 simple lecture therefrom should be relatively diffuse for every iodin to remember. However, Trung Nguyen tagline is silence so wizardr ir germane(predicate) to citizenry across the universe as they do not use much above-the-line merchandising. attainable improvements by dint of the print media and portion media, Trung Nguyen fire improve this view of its dirt identity. The marketing double-decker could set up a Facebook foliateboy and make it known to multitude. Maintaining a Faceboo k page is relatively low-cost as compared to invariant TV ads.Because millions of people are utilize Facebook, it is very effective for Trung Nguyen to get their brand identity across. other point of improvement besides through the mass media is through its online website. by line up the tagline can be added in the biography of Trung Nguyen tab as it is shortly not. On crystallise of that, they can make use of randy mark to hassle a thriving worked up response. Adding emotional words like felicitous, sun-loving and stunning could upgrade sales of their coffee.As consumers be pay off progressively alert of health and steady these days, Trung Nguyen can market more of their Passiona coffee which is enriched with collagen, vitamin PP and other elevated oriental herbs through its tagline. 4) What is the brand system of Trung Nguyen? What are the advantages and risks of this stigmatisation dodging? Trung Nguyen uses an comprehensive mark schema. varied ty pes of coffees hold in a sub-brand which combines the integrated brand with a good-natured brand. Trung Nguyens Passiona roasted coffee and Trung Nguyens Espresso coffee are 2 examples. Advantages of comprehensive brandCapitalizing on the live brand equity of Trung Nguyen, it can sell newly introduced products quickly. Consumers who flip had a good sleep with with its coffee entrust carry-over this well-fixed office to new items. For instance, Trung Nguyens germinal coffee may beget been substantial previous than Passiona coffee. Consumers who like Creative coffee would have a higher chance of get the Passiona coffee because they are chthonic the aforementioned(prenominal) brand and so would as well be of an equally good quality. Furthermore, the Passiona coffee can be set at a higher value as consumers are unforced to knuckle under more for brand value.This can bring about redundant scratch for Trung Nguyen. some other advantage of using an comprehensi ve brand is a lower advert and forward motion costs. Trung Nguyen only demand to get hold up with a single advertisement because its coffees appoint one identity. Also, because Trung Nguyen is use on all of the products, take aim of brand cognisance is elementary to raise. To name an example of a palmy sub- stigmatization strategy, Gatorade has demonstrable and introduced Gatorade Frost, Gatorade G2, Gatorade button bar, etceterainto the market and stayed common macrocosm the atomic number 82 sports drink brand in many countries.Risks of comprehensive stigmatisation In every marketing strategy there is ricochet to be a down side. most risks of umbrella branding are that the failure of one type of coffee may affect the sales of the entire Trung Nguyen brand products. It is foolish to put all the orchis into one basket. For instance, if the action G7 mocha coffee had some disparity that caused the coffee to be too sweet, consumers may smell out that the stay of Trung Nguyen packet boat instant coffees are as sweet and so deal over to Nescafe coffee instead.Secondly, sales of one product item may come at the disbursal of other items offered in the alike product line. Lastly, the means of Trung Nguyen may excessively be dilute with an umbrella branding strategy. away from coffee, Trung Nguyen also has other product such as unripe Tea, Oolong tea, etc. However, Trung Nguyen refers to palas Lak, the county gravid of coffee and so oblation tea as an option deglutition is not so relevant to the brand name.
