"Corporate responsibility to the environment has become one of the critical issues of the 1990s. Corporate responsibility, also known as "corporate greening", "product stewardship", or "proactive management", often goes beyond adherence to regulatory requirements and results in corporate environmental activism. Transnational corporations possess the technology and research ability to provide solutions to global and regional environmental problems or to alter the environment adversely. In the past, international businesses have been associated with environmental degradation in developing countries. In contrast, the collective corporate agenda for the 21st century includes substantial investment of both financial and personnel resources in meeting the sustainable development challenges of the global environment.
Sustainable development recognizes the need to preserve ... "

"The one constant that emerges from both sides of organic vs. non-organic divide is that the law of the current demand for organic milk is exactly in line with Kotlikoff's dim view of American politician's answer to popular goods of any kind: "spend more, tax less" (12). At the heart of the debate over this issue is not government meddling, as the watchdog..."

Abstract
The paper examines the management planning functions for WorldCom in order to address its impact on legal issues, ethics, professional, and social responsibilities in addition to the strategic tactical operational and contingency planning that led to its demise in the business world. The paper asserts that it is safe to say that WorldCom's lack of legal ramifications, ethics, professionalism, and social responsibility in addition to the lack of strategic tactical operational and contingency planning led to regulating the industry, merging the business world with the United States government, forcing large corporations to fully comprehend the magnitude of effective business planning, corporate governance, corporate ethics, and corporate culture.
From the Paper
"It is necessary to examine the management planning functions for WorldCom in order to address its impact on legal issues, ethics, professional, and social responsibilities in addition to the strategic tactical operational and contingency planning that led to its demise in the business world. It is a shame that a scandal of such magnitude as WorldCom's contributed to the enactment of legislation known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, named after Senator Paul Sarbanes of Maryland and Representative Michael Oxley of Ohio. This Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002 consisted of several sections; however, five..."

Abstract
This paper details the various reasons surrounding the immense success of Trump's "The Apprentice." This paper describes the general premise of the show, which revolves around a group of contestants all vying for the chance to be Donald Trump's chosen apprentice. The winner receives a six-figure job for one year, as well as national recognition for being a rising star in America's view of capitalism. The writer of this paper contends and explains why the show's successful at pro-hegemonic reinforcement which focuses primarily on capitalism in America. This paper also examines Trump's personal successes and failures in the corporate business world that don't seem to coincide with the image depicted on his own show.
From the Paper
"As for the payoff for the audience, a significant part likely remains unconscious, or at least covert. On an overt level, though, viewers feel "entertained" by the action at hand: that of bright, attractive, well-dressed, ambitious, industrious contestants scrambling to be the best. Second, again overtly the backdrop of who will be "fired" at the end of the show provides suspense. Third and more covertly, however, one may implicitly assume, without even thinking about it, that he or she is learning valuable lessons about corporate life, and may therefore become successful, or more successful, just by watching the show. What the show is really "teaching", however, is that corporate values, and corporations themselves, are good, beneficial, and admirable, and that a job within one is not just a good, but a glamorous career to which to aspire, especially if one can turn oneself into a "corporate winner" like some of those on TV."
