3. The story is depicted in a third person/omniscient point of view, and each chapter is from the view of a different character. "They scattered, and she dived for the escalator, landing on her stomach and sliding, leading with her .45s. There was a man at the bottom, looking up, and almost put him down before recognizing he wasn't the target."

4. Jennifer Government takes the reader on a journey through the corruption and greed of the future; where corporations run the world, and most of the earth is owned by the United States' United Alliance.

    Nike, the parent company of Jordan, releases the new editions of the shoes on rare occasions, which thus makes new releases a competitive and limited outing. Nike has implemented a raffle system, which allows prospective customers to enter an online lottery. If entered in the raffle and selected, the customer can then be able to purchase a pair of Air Jordans on its release date. The retail prices of buying a new pair of Air Jordans ranges from anywhere between $150 to $400; however, the resale of the iconic sneakers go for more. Because of this exclusiveness, Air Jordans have become less like basketball shoes and more like fashion statements, a product that consumers seem to believe will inherently improve their status amongst peers. With Michael Jordan’s fame as a six-time NBA champion, it is only fitting that the brand uses his celebrity power to suade prospective buyers, as seen in the company’s advertising campaigns. As a result of this exclusivity and celebrity power, people have begun to see obtaining Jordan sneakers as a necessity, as a matter of life or death. In 2012, Joshua Wood, a young man from Houston, was murdered over a pair of Air Jordan XIs. Wood and a friend purchased many pairs of the highly coveted sneakers, only to be confronted by shooters when exiting the mall. Suffice to say, the case of Joshua Wood is not the only crime committed over a pair of Jordan sneakers - there have been more, and may continue to be if the Jordan brand continues to advertise its exclusiveness and ability to be a status…

    Imagine a world where your last name is the company you work for. Imagine a world where the United States includes all of North American, all of South America, all of Australia, the Pacific Islands, South Africa, India, Thailand and Russia. Welcome to Jennifer Government. The novel can be looked at by a reader as a simple, yet innovative story. The novel can also be seen as a deep, catawampus story with plenty of plot twists that are nicely blended together. Each successive chapter is told from the view from a different character; each chapter holds a different plot twist that keeps the reader guessing from one paragraph to the next; each chapter delves into sense of human emotion. Max Barry focuses strongly on the use of political satire plot of his story while using a unique style of third person limited point of view to bring about a story of deceit, and scandal.…

    The two different chapters have different feelings about everything. This fulfills his argument “there are two side to every story”. The chapter “The Man I Killed” portrays his feelings after the incident happened. The chapter “Ambush” exposes how the character felt leading up to the incident. For example, “The Man I Killed” starts out, “His jaw was in his throat, his upper lip and teeth was a star-shaped hole, his eyebrows were thin and arched like a women’s…” The chapter “Ambush”, one of the paragraphs starts out, “He was short, slender young man of about…

    Nike: The Sweatshop Debate (Case Study)In today 's business world, a company 's ethical behavior is constantly under the microscope; and more specifically, the larger the company, the more intense the magnification. Unethical behavior and what some even characterize as evil behavior, has been witnessed as a practice of some global companies. Surprisingly, one of the most recognizable companies in the world was once at the forefront of scrutiny and judgment for its unethical practices. Established in 1972, Nike, one of the leading marketers of athletic shoes and apparel on the planet, has brought in billions of dollars in revenues and sold its products in some 140 countries (Hill, 2009). American companies have sought to outsource their manufacturing through cheap labor, and Nike has been accused of for abusing its overseas workforce in sweatshops. The fight against Nike still continues and a film documentary entitled "Sweat," which follows a team as they learn and document from first-hand experience, Nike 's operations, is scheduled to be released later this year (Educating for Justice Films [EJF], 2009). In this paper, I will evaluate and discuss the case study about the Nike sweatshops as written by author Charles W. L. Hill in his book International Business: Competing in the Global Marketplace. I will analyze the legal, cultural, and ethical challenges presented, the roles that governments played in the global operation, and finally, I will summarize the strategic and operational challenges facing global managers as illustrated in the case.…
