    The American southern states of America’s laws and attitudes create enormous barriers for the Negros that limits and prevents them from belonging to the larger world. The barriers to belonging are not just laws but often unwritten and reinforced through violence and aggression. Griffin’s struggles to accept when a friendly Negro, Sterling foreshadows examples of the barriers when he states that “you’ve got to plan ahead now, you can’t just walk into any place and ask for a drink or use the restroom.” His use of imperatives when explaining this and how he will struggle to cash a cheque and even must be alert when sitting on a park bench highlights the dangers if a negro attempts to integrate into large parts of the town. Griffin encounters these attitudes with the dismissive aggression coming from the shop owner who violently orders him to leave as “We don’t serve niggers” and when he looked at a…

    African American Vernacular English has been developing and evolving over generations and generations. The language is a mixture of English language with its own semantic, syntactic, morphological, phonological and lexical rules. It is commonly spoken by the urban working class and middle-class African Americans, and is often identified as an unsophisticated form of dialect despite having similar elements to other languages such as it’s pronunciation, grammatical structure and vocabulary. Although this language is now used commonly and freely, and has adopted an almost comedic profile, it has a deeper, contextual meaning, associated with the time of black inequality and slave trading. Today we will be investigating and comparing two texts from…

    The code of ethics is adopted by organizations to assist members in understanding the difference between 'right' and 'wrong' and in applying that understanding to their decisions. An effective code of ethics should also help to delineate the proper procedures to determine whether a violation of the code of ethics has occurred and, if so, what remedies should be imposed. After reviewing the company’s code of ethics, we found that it has well established the concept of business ethics and the company’s objective, and also several kinds of encouragement to promote the ethical business behavior effectively. The company’s code of ethics, however, is not practical enough for implementation as the content is too general and vague, and there are not enough guidelines and regulations to help the staff to detect or solve the ethical issues.…

    Ethical Perspective

    Ethics are the moral values, beliefs, and rules that one establishes to deal with others, economic or social issues, laws, their priorities, and their own self-interest (Weiss, 2006). Individuals do this by leveraging the right and wrong way of handling any given situation and what can be done to help one thing without hurting another. Although all individuals believe that there is a right and wrong answer when faced with an ethical decision, it does not mean all individuals will have the same answer (The Williams Institute for Ethics and Management, 2003). According to the Ethics Awareness Inventory, there are four ethical perspectives one can have. The C.O.R.E. ethical perspectives are character, obligation, results, and equity. An individual’s ethical perspective determines their views on taking actions to handle a situation the right way (The Williams Institute for Ethics and Management, 2003). Whether an individual has one ethical perspective or if he is blended by more than one, he has an individual ethical style within his perspective.…

    Although media is not the reason why terrorism are growing, every move of those terrorists are somehow taking advantage of the media. The media stimulates the terrorist acts unconsciously, and those terrorists acts are using the media coverage to maximise their influence. The media should be selective when it comes to doing reports about terrorism, editors should be analytical about the coverage. The aim of media coverage is telling people the truth not creating fear. If the intervention of media is sensible and reliable, the spread of terrorist acts will be cut off soon.…
