    After several decades and countless games, people tired of the slow, grind it out pace that baseball had to offer. As the technological boom continued to explode across the map in the early 1990s, the pace of life on our planet was speeding up by the day. Information was readily accessible at our fingertips, people could be reached on the go via cellphone, the list goes on. As people began to experience a greater deal of excitement, baseball did not change with the times. The strike shortened season of 1994, which saw the World Series and approximately 50 regular season games get cancelled, was seemingly the nail in baseball’s popularity coffin. People were fed up, and they wanted their game back. When play resumed in the spring of 1995, people did not care for the results. Since the last full season in 1994, ticket prices had dropped by 13 percent league wide to accommodate for the drop in attendance, which remained at a 9% decrease even after the price reduction (ESPN). However, things took a turn in 1996.…

    The case titled “ExxonMobil and the Chad/Cameroon Pipeline”, examines two large oil businesses merging together to finish an immense development project which spanned for approximately 25 to 30 years. In 1998, both Exxon and Mobil both respectively saw great success as major companies at the time with each company performing multi-billion dollar operations. In 1997 Exxon was achieving a large net income of $8.5 billion with revenues soaring as high as $137.2 billion, achieved a “AAA” debt rating, and also shelling out 5.4 million barrels of gasoline on a daily basis for huge profits. In contrast, Mobil thrived by building a strong reputation as well. The company saw revenues of $65 billion and achieved a net income of $3.3 billion; shelling out 3.3 million barrels of gasoline daily. In 1996, Shell, Elf and ExxonMobil signed a memorandum with the Chadian and Cameroonian governments which provided the sanctioning of a project which involved oil drilling for roughly 25-30 years. Their vision was to expand oil fields in the southern region of Chad by hauling out 300 wells of oil in the Doba Basin and as well building a 650-mile underground pipeline channel from Chad to Cameroon due to Chad being landlocked. The pipeline would move the oil to the coastline of Cameroon and be transported off to various parts of the world. The price of the development was $3.5 billion generating one billion barrels of oil. According to the World Bank, they approximated that the development would produce $2 billion for Chad, $500 million for Cameroon, and $5.7 billion for ExxonMobil and its associates. Ironically, the union of ExxonMobil was reminiscent of John Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company which split apart in 1911 when the antitrust powers that be forced them to divide into two separate…

    Heraclitus

    • 2 Pages

    Heraclitus said “We can never step into the same river twice, for different water is ever flowing” (12). The river which Heraclitus refers to, is a metaphor for time. Time continues on regardless of life, always changing. Although it may seem impossible to go back in time – impossible to step into the same river – there are times when moments in time seems to repeat themselves throughout history. Ovid refutes this maxim through the use of a common storyline throughout several of his stories. Many of his tales depict some sort of interaction between a god and a human in a way that usually results in the human doing something to upset the god and getting punished for it by being turned into something like an animal or plant. For example, Arachne…
