Abstract
This paper presents a public relations case study on Tylenol. The paper identifies the different publics involved in the case study as the American consumers who had grown to rely on the business and the product. These consumers were especially important in the Chicago area where the deaths linked to the use of Tylenol had occurred. Stakeholders and employees within the company that contributed to making the product or invested in the product over time are also identified as members of the varying publics in the case study. Additionally, the paper identifies the state and federal governments that were involved in the case because it involved illegal activity, as well as the local police and federal authorities that were attempting to investigate the matter as members of the different publics.

From the Paper
"Johnson's position in the Tylenol case study is one that has occurred frequently to others in recent news. Cases of wrongdoing on the part of various big corporations or prominent individuals seem to be at an all-time high. However, in most cases, the wrongdoers fail to address their wrongdoing with the commitment and integrity that Johnson Johnson did. Instead, they attempt to justify their behavior on some grounds that sound plausible. What is striking is that Johnson Johnson did not even engage in any ..."

From the Paper
"any companies consider what they might do if faced with an ethical dilemma and how they might recover from some disaster, but only a few companies ever have to face doing so in the way Johnson & Johnson did with the Tylenol crisis in 1982. Johnson & Johnson weathered that crisis in a way now emulated by other companies. The issue of ethics had been important to the company before this, and it had originally marketed Tylenol in what it called an "ethical marketing program" directly to doctors before deciding that the product could also reasonably be sold over the counter to the consumer, beginning in 1975. Johnson & Johnson remains a major company not just in the United States but worldwide. Johnson & Johnson today is number 51 on the list of the Fortune 500 companies, with annual sales in 1999..."

Life and Death: Abortion and the Death Penalty, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains why a woman's views that abortion in the early stages of pregnancy is permissible but that the death penalty is never permissible are congruent and consistent from a moral and ethical standpoint.
From the Paper
"Though Abby rejects the application of the death penalty in all instances she does advocate the permissibility of abortion in the early stages. Despite the seeming contradiction of ethics or morals in these views, Abby's views on abortion and the death penalty are more congruent than they might initially appear. This is because abortion is part of a woman's overall reproductive rights guaranteed by law while the death penalty is often applied in a biased manner and represents state-sanctioned homicide..."

Abstract
The paper looks at PepsiCo's recent decision to implement a new procurement tracking and data-keeping system for its international operations. It paper examines the objective that drove the change, the factors at play which made it desirable, the main participants in the new design, and the systems development cycle approach which would have worked best had it been implemented at the start of the entire process.
Finally, the paper looks at the problems and opportunities that would have been considered by the student if he had been in charge of the design and implementation of the new procurement system.
From the Paper
"The following paper will briefly review five questions which invariably arise when assessing why a particular systems arrangement is adopted by an organization. Specifically, the paper will look at PepsiCo's objectives for any Purchase to Pay system modification it undertakes, what factors were present to motivate the company to implement the project, who were the main participants PepsiCo had to involve so as to develop the corporation's revamped Purchase to Pay system, which systems development cycle approach would have been best for the PepsiCo project and, not least of all, what problems and opportunities should have been considered in conducting the initial systems investigation? This is a fairly complex topic, but the underlying truth it reveals are not especially complex at all; to wit, the case study of PepsiCo underscores how important it is to examine every option and scenario before making detailed changes.."

Abstract
This paper provides a critical assessment of the 1999 article by Jalaludin, et al., which was published in the Australian and New Zealand Journals of Public Health, entitled ?Risk Factors For Asthma Deaths: A Population-Based Case-Control Study?. It looks at how the objectives of the paper by Jalaludin, et al. were to investigate risk factors for deaths from asthma, using a case-control study design with two control groups and how the study was prompted by a bout of deaths from asthma in New Zealand in 1970 for which the cause was unknown, but suspected to be fenoterol.
From the Paper
"The Mitchell et al. (2002) questionnaire requested information on demographics, age at first diagnosis of asthma, duration of symptoms before diagnosis, self-assessment of severity, symptom frequency, medication use (by broad category and specific names), history of allergy, exposure to asthma triggers, the asthma trigger for the index episode, and feelings of vulnerability (Mitchell et al., 2002). The article under discussion was, again, not so thorough in terms of the rigor of the questionnaire used, and again, any conclusions drawn from such a questionnaire need to be looked at from the point of view of this caveat."

Abstract
The paper discusses the large number of deaths associated with the blood thinner known as Heparin and attributes this to the drug source being one of Chinese origin. The paper places the blame on the FDA on their shortcomings of not efficiently testing drug sources.
Outline:
Summary of issues presented
Description of parties involved
Potential resolutions
Open questions
From the Paper
"One of the most significant issues with regards to deaths and injuries associated with Heparin is one which involves a blatant oversight on the part of the FDA. The FDA is duty bound to inspect any plant providing ingredients or product that are approved by the FDA. The FDA has admitted that its officials have neglected to inspect, Changzhou SPL, the Chinese plant which provided the heparin utilized by Baxter International, the maker of the heparin in question. The implications of this are such that the failure on the part of the FDA to do its job can be cited for the resulting deaths of what is now estimated to be approximately seventeen ."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at three major police commissions of inquiry into the New South Wales police service during the 20th century: the commission into aboriginal deaths in custody, the Commission into the Inquiry of the NSW police administration, also known as the Fitzgerald report, and the Wood Royal commission. The recommendations of these reports are discussed, including whether or not these recommendations were implemented.
From the Paper
"Three major commissions of the twentieth century have been the commission into aboriginal deaths in custody, the Commission into the Inquiry of the NSW police administration, also known as the Fitzgerald report, and the Wood Royal commission. These commissions have made many different recommendations pertaining to particular matters. These recommendations are implemented in order to reform existing practices and to transform them into practices that are to be acceptable to both government, community and all other parties involved. Various recommendations that have been made regarding these issues have had a central focus and common ground. Although these recommendations are issued, there is no guarantee that government will implement these recommendations and other recommendations that have been implemented are often not sustained in both legislature and other bodies. Some recommendations require legislative change and some can be applied very quickly while others require more time in order to change laws and acts. It is the government?s onus to implement these recommendations. Numerous recommendations arising from these commissions are undesirable to the government, so the adoption of these recommendations is often slow or they are not adopted at all."

An Argument on Whether it is Possible to Survive Death, 2000.
Approaching the subject of death with a definition of what death is and assuming that identity is necessary to survive death, this essay demonstrates that survival of death is impossible.

From the Paper
"Throughout history, one of the most pondered questions is ?what is the meaning of life?? Some religions use the notion of an afterlife as a means to obtaining some higher meaning of life. Whether or not this afterlife exists has also been a topic of debate and ponderance for centuries. Some have believed that religion is the opiate of the masses, ?created? solely to keep hope that the post-mortem experience is more fulfilling than earthly existence. It is generally regarded that in order to survive death one must remain them self, in other words, they must retain their identity. But what dictates your identity? Is it your soul? Is it your psychology? Could it be the continued existence of your body? All three of these accounts of identity are popular and offer different explanations for the continuation of self after death.

Abstract
Facing death is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks an individual can ever do. This paper shows how Ivan Ilych and Gregor Samsa both experience radical transformations in their lives that ultimately bring them to their deaths. Similarities between these two men and their circumstances include regret for living inadequate lives and the fact that their deaths lead them to a spiritual awakening. It explains that, while both stories emphasize personal revelation, they also focus on the lifestyles of these men as being major contributors to their deaths. This paper examines the cause of and the resulting revelation of death (and life) for Ivan Ilych and Gregor Samsa.
From the Paper
"This thought plaques his entire being and Ivan cannot escape the idea that everything he pursued while he was living was not the ?real thing? (1412). He even tries to defend himself and his actions but realizes that ?there was nothing to defend? (1413). Thinking of his family only makes matters worse for Ivan because when he looks at them, he sees himself and ?all that for which he lived? (1413). He also realizes that that what he believed all of his life was a ?terrible and huge deception which had hidden both life and death? (1413). It is interesting to note how Ivan cannot stop asking the question, ?What is the right thing?? (1414). We are told that this revelation increased Ivan?s suffering tenfold."
