Abstract
This paper is a careful examination of the similarities and differences in the business and legal climates in the UK and U.S. It discusses how the common law heritage of most of the countries in the United States (Louisiana?s law are based largely on the Napoleonic Code) and the United Kingdom ensure a number of similarities in the manifestation of contemporary laws. It points out, however, like the electrical outlets and doorknobs in use in both countries, a sufficient number of differences exist to make direct comparisons between the two nations difficult but interesting. It explains how it has been shown that traditional contract laws in the U.K. and U.S. have both developed rules and principles that control the voluntary assumption of obligations, regulating the performance of obligations so assumed, and providing sanctions for failure to perform. The writer concludes that both countries' cultural traditions are reflective of the respective country's heterogeneity and its central importance in world affairs over the past several centuries.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The United Kingdom and the United States share a common heritage, language and culture. Even the U.S. Constitution itself was significantly influenced by the political concepts emerging from the U.K. at the time. Today, the two countries are staunch allies in the war on terrorism, and both countries continue to enjoy high levels of trade with each other. Notwithstanding the many commonalities between the two English-speaking nations, a sufficient amount of dissimilarities exist and a better understanding of these differences can provide some insight into how these countries engage in business today."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Ethics are learnt from the society and are often imposed upon an individual by the norms of that society. What is permissible ethical behavior in a society is determined by the society; the family, the company or even the law which incorporates the ethics of the society into the legislation. The motivation to follows ethics, which are not a part of the law, comes from within. Even if the law contains a matter which we may also consider ethically correct, the motivation to follow the law comes from outside the individual in the shape of compliance with the state law. Most people knew that slavery was unethical but as it was not sanctioned illegal, it continued until it was declared illegal."
"Our morals tell us the ethics, we know now as we knew before, that discrimination on the grounds of race, color, sex and religion in business transaction is ethically incorrect but the force of law was required to curb the selfishness that is present in all of us."

From the Paper
"According to Daft (1997:8) there are four management functions: planning, organizing, leading and controlling. These are all functions that a manager needs to perform at some stage of the management process. Planning involves defining goals, and selecting tasks and resources in order to reach these goals. Organizing is the next step. The selected tasks now have to be assigned to the relevant work force, tasks are also grouped into departments, and selected resources are allocated. The next stage, leading, largely involves motivation. The workforce needs to be motivated so that organizational goals can be achieved. Controlling is a process that is used throughout the other three functions. This is a monitoring process during which employees' activities are assessed. The manager determines whethe the organization is moving towards its goals in an acceptible manner, and if not, what needs to be done to rectify the problem."

Abstract
This paper explains the basic concepts behind the Scientific Principles of Business Management. The author defines the terms, discusses its effects on the workers and productivity and relates the perceived worker motivations used in this model. The paper contrasts this model of management with some of the concepts behind the Behavioral or Human Resources concept of management.
From the Paper
"Frederick Winslow Taylor created the Scientific Principles of Business Management. His idea was to redesign the workers' role in business by modeling it on the design of a machine. In Taylor's format for business organization, workers should mimic the machine parts, to be silent and operating without question. Workers were to be inexpensive and easily replaced or interchangeable as well (Wertheim, par. 6). He determined that there were four principles by which workers should operate: specialization, unity of command, span of control, and organization by purpose. This paper discusses his principles of scientific management, with a focus on how it affected workers and their productivity. The discussion includes the perception of how this form of management motivates workers in their job performance. Finally, it contrasts with the Behavioral Model of management."

Abstract

Contents:
Introduction
Overview: The Fall of Enron
Chain of Command and Management Style at Enron
Managerial Ethics and Enron
Corporate Culture
Conclusions
From the Paper
"The organizational culture of Enron changed under Kenneth Lay's guidance and that of his cohort Jeffery Sklling, who together created a culture that supported the idea "do it right, do it now and do it better" (Sims, 2003: 148). The culture at Enron might best be described as a monoculture, supportive of a particular breed of top-notch executive rather than a heterogeneous or diverse culture supporting open democracy and freethinking. The centralized leadership style at Enron further acted to support a lack of diversity and burden on employees. Many have described the corporate culture that existed under Lay as innovative and competitiveness, where "employee enjoyed autonomy IF they produced quarterly results" (Fox, 2003). Top leaders began recruiting associates from top schools and looking for prestigious talents (Thomas, 2002). Workers were rewarded with amazing perks including concierge privileges and merit bonuses (Thomas, 2002). Among the "bright hirings" during the 1990s included Andrew Faston, who became CFO of the company in 1998 (Thomas, 2002). Enron's internal culture however soon took on a "dark tone" when a performance review committee was established enforcing a 360 performance review process based on Enron's morals and mission. These included "respect, integrity, communication and excellence" otherwise known as RICE (Thomas, 2002). Cultural diversity was not encouraged; rather all employees were encouraged to be the same bright and clever, innovative and daring.
Most associates however began feeling too much pressure and felt that they were judged on the profits they brought into the company rather than the values outlined in the RICE (Thomas, 2002). The practice of posting earnings was common in the company. The worse people's profits margins were the more likely they were to be downsized, thus internal competition in the organization was fierce. "Immediate gratification was prized above long-term potential" (Thomas, 2002) suggesting that top officials did not care much for long term relationships as they did for immediate profits."

From the Paper
"Leadership everywhere throughout time has been predominantly male. In America and throughout the world women have been in constant conflict to expand their influence to every aspect of life. Today, women have grown past the boundaries that kept them at home for thousands of years. The leading region of this feminine expansion into leadership positions has been in the United States, the leading economy of the world. To raise one?s stature in a capitalistic country, one must become capitalistic themselves. Consequentially women have, bringing with them a completely new set of values to the world and to business. These new values have made their way into leadership positions, but there they encountered immense opposition from masculine leadership supporters. Feminine leadership values in business are highly admirable qualities because absolute masculine control produces low quality work, is primarily self-centered, and is detrimentally competitive. "

Case Law and Statute Law, 2005.
A theoretical comparison of these two sources of English law.

Abstract
This paper attempts to define the differences between England's common and statute laws. It looks at how the laws are formed as well as their fundamental purpose. It examines how statute is interpreted and acted upon by the courts and how it follows that precedents are formed as new cases arise. It also demonstrates how over time, statute will become part of common law as judges follow previous decisions in new cases where applicable.
From the Paper
"For political bills or proposals to become statute, that is to become Acts of Parliament, they must first be debated in the House of Commons (this is made up of elected representatives of the wider public, Members of Parliament or MPs). However, this is just the start if the process: the proposed legislation must then be accepted by MPs by way of a successful vote and further ratified by acceptance in the House of Lords. The House of Lords is the supreme court in Britain and may refuse to pass the law; but a bill can be forced through using the Parliament Act if such action is deemed necessary for Parliament to fulfil its obligation to make laws in the best interests of the nation.

Abstract
The National Environment Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), jointly established by the White House and the United States Congress, outlines more than a dozen major laws that form the basis of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This paper begins by outlining some of the major laws enacted by the NEPA. The paper then presents a review of Mankiw N. Gregory's book, "The Principle of Microeconomics", in which the author presents a new style of comprehending the NEPA laws through subjects such as politics, science, and economics. The paper also includes several appendices that contain graphs.
From the Paper
"Within the principle discipline of economics is the newly developed subject of environmental economics that seeks to understand the relationship between the environment and the economy. It goes without saying that a healthy and sustainable economy is dependent on an equally healthy and sustainable environment, not withstanding the often-conflicting elements present within the business entities and concerns. To totally eliminate this conflicting atmosphere that tends to be a hurdle, and somewhat disturbs the approach towards the accomplishment of a healthy environment at the cost of the economy, numerous attempts to bring about a reconciliation to develop a so-called free market environmentalism are being pursued."

Abstract
This paper shows how prevention is the key to eliminating the continuation of environmental degradation and how environmental law makes sure that objective is realized. Environmental law has come a long way in cleaning up the mess created by man-made pollution. The paper examines both the Clean Air Act of 1963 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 set out to rectify the insurmountable degradation overtaking the air, water and soil supplies. It shows that with their continued efforts, ongoing improvements will serve to further the purpose these two acts were established for in the first place.
From the Paper
"The environment has been in trouble for a long time. Decades and decades of misuse, exploitation and degradation have placed a tremendous burden upon the land to the point where humanity is having to scramble to preserve what is left. Re-establishing what has already been destroyed, as well as protecting what still exists, is what environmentalist and government agencies are working feverishly to achieve. With the support of environmental law, significant trends have been established to rectify damage already done and prevent any further from occurring."

Abstract
Gandhi is unquestionably one of the most influential figures in recent history. This paper explores how he used his spiritual beliefs to stage a non-violent revolution and force political and social change in both South Africa and his native India.
From the Paper
"Gandhi lived a spiritual life of prayer, fasting, and meditation. Indians thought of him as a saint and began to call him Mahatma, a title which is only reserved for the greatest sages. Through the practice of non-violence, Gandhi believed Britain would eventually see the wisdom in leaving India. The colonialists, however, did not see things the same way. They claimed that India would be reduced to chaos without British rule. England also believed it had a duty to the Muslim subjects who were a minority. British troops, they said, were essential to maintaining the peace. However, Gandhi believed that the Indian people would much prefer to govern themselves than to continue relinquishing their power to alien authority."
