Abstract
The paper assesses the development and application of three particular means by which today's organizations approach their stakeholders; business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and global corporate citizenry. The paper then examines how the Coca Cola company implements business ethics, corporate social responsibility and global corporate citizenry in relation to its stockholders, its customers, the communities where the company is present and finally, the Coca Cola company employees. The paper shows how with respect to all these categories of stakeholders, the Coca Cola Company acts in an ethical and socially responsible manner. A figure is included in the paper.

From the Paper
"Business ethics is generically understood as the application of ethical rules and norms of moral behavior within a business environment. While its existence and applicability have made their presence felt as early as the emergence of any business sector, the academic interest and the actual formulation of business ethics theories is relatively new. George K. Saul at the United States Army, author of numerous articles on ethical behavior with both army as well as civil society, argues that the first time emphasis was actually placed on ethical issues within the business community was during early 1960s and that this focus was pegged to public dissatisfaction relative to the prices implemented by large corporations. Evolving from this, growing focus was placed throughout the 1970s on environmental issues and the civil rights of various categories of stakeholders - mainly customers and employees. Throughout the 1980s, social turmoil relative to business ethics continued to amount, and its main characteristic at that time was that public dissatisfaction was not brought on by the discovery of a highly unethical behavior, but by the realization of some questionable business activities (Saul, 1981).
"During the mid-1980s, Henry B. Arthur, a graduate of Harvard University's School of Business, argued the importance of implementing business ethics in a way that offers combined utilities for both organization as well as its stakeholders. Arthur takes a novel approach at the issue of business ethics and strives to present it in a way that is understandable to everyone. He argues that the concept is characterized by five distinct features - applied ethics; inter and intra relationships; ability for institutionalization; ability to improve the communication and negotiation process; and finally, business ethics is only valid if it is commonly accepted by the participant parties (Arthur, 1984)."

Abstract
Korea is a nation with many religions, of which Shamanism and Christianity are only a part. However, since the introduction of Roman Catholicism in 1784, Christianity has taken an ever-growing hold on the nation's citizenry. The popularity of Korean Christianity is remarkable in light of its failure to take hold in other Asian nations. This paper briefly examines these Korean faiths and the conflation between the two.

Korean Shamanism and Korean Christianity Korea is a nation with many religions, of which Shamanism and Christianity are only a part. Since the introduction of Roman Catholicism in 1784, however, Christianity has taken an ever-growing hold on the nation's citizenry. The popularity of Korean Christianity is remarkable in light of its failure to take hold in other Asian nations. And yet, despite its popularity, Christianity has not displaced Shamanism from its place of importance in Korean society. While Protestantism and Roman Catholicism are first and third in the nation in terms of popularity, Shamanism remains a great influence overall. In fact, Korean

Abstract
This paper asserts that it is the voter's responsibility to ensure that safe practices, whether related to environmental protections, occupational safety, or enforcement or sentencing related to white-collar crime become a priority for those elected. The paper makes its point by using several examples to illustrate how the public, for too long, has surrendered all public interest and decision-making powers to its president-elect. Specifically, the paper provides a cross-section of four public issues and describes the role legislation has taken in dealing with these issues. This paper argues that the citizenry of the United States, as voters, are partially responsible for holding those in power accountable. Legislators demonstrate repeatedly and consistently that their interests are vastly different from those of the general population, regardless of what they promise on election podiums.

"In 1947, the generation of the planet's toxic pollutants in landfills and other storage facilities totaled five million metric tons; however, in 1988, more than 300 million tons of waste were generated, 265 million of those tons were in the US alone (Lee, 1992). To facilitate legitimate disposal practices, there are currently 75,000 industrial, and 15,000 municipal landfills in the Unites States (McFarland-Benedict, Salzman, & Miller, 1986). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reported overwhelmingly however, that these facilities are deteriorated, defective, poorly controlled, and leaching toxins into the environment (Rebovich, 1996)."

"Ignorance is the enemy of democracy. Unlike autocratic societies, a democratic political order requires a stable political culture of an informed citizenry, capable of freely making intellectual choices, and reared in tolerance for the viewpoints of others. Without such a culture, democracy will eventually collapse. The most important social force contributing to such a stable political culture is education.
The purpose of this research is to examine the importance of quality education to democracy. It is argued here that a welleducated society not only helps a democratic order function more effectively, a well-educated society is a pillar necessary to the very survival of democratic institutions. In order to address this issue, the nature of democracy will first be defined, followed by a discussion of how education is an imperative for..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Benjamin Barber in his book "Strong Democracy: Participatory Politics for a New Age" defines 'thin democracy" as a democracy in which leaders are elected but they are left to their own devices concerning the majority of issues; people have the powers, which democracy provides, but the demonstration of these powers is primarily manifested in the form of elections. The author points out that Barber is convincing in making his point that "thin democracy" has a tendency to strip citizens of their sense of purpose as manifested by the voter participation rate stagnating in the U.S. at about half of those eligible. The paper stress that Barber loves the thought of a "strong democracy" in which it is not the leaders who make a democracy great but rather an active, informed citizenry.

From the Paper
""Thin democracy" takes the stance that average citizens are not interested in political matters and are not capable or adequate enough to directly participate in the political process themselves, beyond electing officials. Benjamin Barber feels that the United States democracy is thin and poorly represents the entire population at large. Significant portions of citizens are unable to vote due to restrictions or simply choose to be complacent and abstain from voting. Citizens under the age of eighteen are restricted from voting, as are prisoners, and persons living within the borders who are not nationalized. Citizens who are active in a thin democracy mainly participate in it by electing persons and then monitoring their political decisions (if they choose to do so), allowing the elected (those seen by the majority to have the most expertise and capability to discern what best represents the will of the majority) to do the actual work."

Abstract
The paper discusses how John Dewey believed in two fundamental elements of democracy-schools and civil society. The paper explains that citizenry in a democracy, Dewey believed, was to be obtained by extending rights and by the public forming opinions. The paper argues that these two cornerstones of citizenry became functional through effective communication-communication between citizens, experts and politicians. The paper shows how Dewey throughout his career intertwined education, democracy and communication.

"Define who a democratic citizen and a responsible citizen is: A citizen is someone who is born in a country or asks a country to make them a citizen. When you are a citizen you have rights and responsibilities. Rights are privileges that the government gives you because you are a citizen. Your rights in the United States include free speech, freedom of religion, freedom to bare arms, etc. The Bill of Rights lists the freedoms you have as an American citizen. The government gives us rights as a citizen, but with those rights comes responsibilities. Citizens have a duty to be good citizens. One example of..."

Abstract
Should schools be responsible for producing an informed citizenry or for producing workers? For providing a basic academic education or for creating individuals with a sense of their potential? The role of the public school system has long been debated and, contrary to our egotism, today's highly pitched arguments are no more than echoes of past debates. However, what may indeed be different is the importance, the critical need, for an answer.

"The Role of Public Education

Should schools be responsible for producing an informed citizenry or for producing workers? For providing a basic academic education or for creating individuals with a sense of their potential? The role of the public school system has long been debated and, contrary to our egotism, today's highly pitched arguments are no more than echoes of past debates. However, what may indeed be different is the importance, the critical need, for an answer.

A reader, quickly glancing at almost any U.S. newspaper, on
any randomly chosen day, is likely to see an article moaning nostalgically about the American educational system and the illiterate, can't-compete-in-the-global-marketplace, can-barely-make-change-at-McDonald's students that it produces. Unless, of course, it is an a ..."

Abstract
This paper views some of the New Deal legislation from a conservative perspective, presenting the premise that FDR's response to the Great Depression was the genesis of Federal over-involvement in the lives of the American citizenry.

From the Paper
"In the early 1920's, the United State's economy was soaring, and many investors felt confident. People began to pour money into banks and the stock market, knowing the country was prospering, thus seeking to profit from the country's good fortune. The prosperous times of the country began to fade and citizens faced being laid off. Panic ensued, and many people went to banks and took out their savings. This was one of the factors that caused the country to fall into the Great Depression because there weren't any funds to help people get back on their feet. For the most part the Roosevelt years had paved the groundwork for the New Deal to help poor Americans with some kind of relief: due to the number of people that were unemployed and had no means of providing for their families. The New Deal legislation was intended to get the nation's economy back on track. The Roosevelt administration got a boost in the 1930's when it gained the overwhelming majority in Congress. Roosevelt had proposed a staggering array of emergency measures in his early months in office and most of them were passed by a large margin. The measures often reflected different and contradictory policy perspectives. But with all the confusion these measures would have, the contours of depression fighting strategy emerged. These strategies involved three components: industrial recovery, agricultural recovery, and short-term emergency relief for the jobless. The New Deal led to the immense growth of government and the demise of the individual. The New Deal impacted the individual negatively by allowing government to affect almost every aspect of his life and allowing government to have the final say in many matters that would normally be the responsibility of the individual."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the emergency services available in Florida and examines whether they would be prepared to deal with a major earthquake. Each service is analyzed for their preparedness, a look at other government assistance available and lists of financial support which would be given to citizens in such an event.

From the paper:

"What would happen if Florida were to be hit by a devastating earthquake? This paper suggests a possible emergency response to such an event. While Florida is as prepared as a state can be (having had a fair amount of practice recently) in responding to hurricanes, it has (of course) relatively little practice in responding to earthquakes. However, some fault lines do lie under the Atlantic, of course, and so Florida is subject to potential earthquakes. Fortunately, while the citizenry here is unfamiliar with earthquakes, many of the basic disaster-preparedness elements that allow us to cope with hurricanes can also be called into play for any other type of natural disaster."
