    Viacom, Comcast, Time Warner, And Disney

    America’s system of capitalism ensures that trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit. Because major profits depend greatly on media for their exposure in advertising, it is not surprising that American media companies are some of the most profitable and powerful in the world. As introduced in this project, the four media giants that own most of America’s media are Viacom, Comcast, Time Warner, and Disney. From these four companies comes a sort of illusion of separation throughout all familiar brands of media. This is an unfortunate reality that can be recognized in all of our nation’s trade and industry. When we investigate an array of products on any Walmart shelf, we will find that many of the different brands are produced by the same major brand. One interesting example of this in media is Viacom owning B.E.T. and C.M.T., two extremely different television networks. Each of these networks are designed to appeal to audiences that want a very culturally authentic form of entertainment and yet they are both owned by the same company. I found this particular example to be very entertaining because, the idea of authentic culture in our current time and place is almost comical in my opinion. Comical like DC Comics vs Marvel Studios or even more so like Democrats…

    Apple and Foxconn

    Apple and Foxconn

    In the past few years Apple and other electronics manufacturers have been in the news for alleged unethical practices carried out by some of their suppliers. The ethical issues were concerning the 2010 suicides in the Chinese Foxconn factories, which are the main suppliers for Apple, and the IPhone5 strikes that occurred in the beginning of October. All of these events were as a result of the workers' poor living conditions, inadequate health care benefits and a load of overtime hours. Apple's speedy response has been triggered by the growing global concern regarding Foxconn's unethical practices towards its workers. Apple has agreed to work along with Foxconn and the Fair Labor Association in order to ensure that its suppliers in China start carrying out more ethical practices such as hiring more workers, improving living standards, and providing more training. Following the 5 Step Process to Solve Ethical Problems would have helped the CEO of Apple solve the issues at Foxconn, right when they first occurred, back in 2010. The process would help determine an appropriate action plan that is both ethical and beneficial for the stakeholders. It would help establish and encourage appropriate moral grounds throughout the company and it would also encourage the company to continue acting ethically, by regularly auditing its decisions. This decision would be beneficial because being ethical can make a company more favorable, in the eyes of the general public, when compared to its unethical competitors.…

    Blue Chip Companies

    Blue chips are the biggest, most stable, and often the most reputable companies in existence. The term comes from casino houses, whihc use colored plastic chips to represent the money patrons gamble with. Traditionally, blue chips were the most valuable color chip of all; but in gambling today blue chips are among the lowest valued chips, and also the most widely recognized. This is in standing with the financial industry's strong feeling for its own history: investors aren't going to start calling General Motors (GM) a "mustard yellow" stock just to match trends in casinos.…
