Abstract
For as long as humans have inhabited the earth, they have questioned their relationship with it and, now more frequently, their responsibility for it. This paper looks at the views of philosophers on man's social responsibility to earth, beginning with the ideas of Rene Descartes and then moving on to John Locke, Adam Smith and ending with ecology experts such as Rashmi Mayur. The paper looks at the threat of economic globalization on the earth's social structure and examines ways to correct the damage already done.
From the Paper
"Finally, Mayur argues that today we must reconsider our ideas of the kinds of cities, towns, and villages in which we want to live. We must ask ourselves how we can create human settlements that function as self-sustaining eco-habitats (Mayur, 1996). For many millennia human beings lived in harmony with nature in well-integrated cultures and, even today, the millions of people living in the 600,000 villages of India, several hundred thousand villages of China and tribal communities of Africa and South America live modest, yet fulfilling and sustainable lives (Mayur, screen 4). However, the pressures of "globalization" are driving millions out of such communities and into the wretched cities and megacities (Mayur, screen 4)."

Abstract
This essay will discuss the competing claims of both the stockholder and the stakeholder approaches to corporate social responsibility. An explanation for corporate social responsibility will be provided and arguments will be put forward for similarities and differences in the stockholder and stakeholder approaches to this movement. Evidence to support these arguments will be provided throughout the essay.
From the paper:
"Before discussing the competing claims, it must be understood what is meant by the term corporate social responsibility. Corporate social responsibility is just one aspect of business ethics and has become increasingly important for companies operating in the global economy. It is a fast developing and increasingly competitive field. There is no single, commonly accepted definition of corporate social responsibility but it generally refers to the idea that businesses are accountable for the effects of their actions on the community and should seek socially and economically beneficial results. It involves operating a business in a way that meets ethical and legal standards as well as meeting public expectation. Decisions taken by managers need to satisfy the needs of the community and companies must be accountable for the way in which their results are achieved."

Abstract
This paper questions how much social responsibility the American individual should have. It shows that the past 250 years have provided Americans with the idea that their individual wants and desires supersede any social need. As the nation faces new troubles, such as terrorism attacks, a slumping economy and other problems, it is becoming important to blend the individual rights with a duty to recognize and act on social responsibility. The paper concludes that if Americans do not begin to spend more time on social responsibility the nation faces the possibility of having to fight for individuals rights.
From the Paper
"This is the importance of human individual rights. The right to live peacefully and to pursue happiness is given to each and every person who resides within the boundaries of America. This right is so protected that the Supreme Court is charged with the decision in each case to know if the rights of an individual have been violated or not. If a federal or state government body tries to enact a law that infringes on individual rights the Supreme Court will intervene and stop the law. This is what the nation has been built on and it is what is upheld at the cost and exclusion of all else."

Corporate Social Responsibility, 2007.
An examination of social responsibility of the corporate world.

Abstract
This paper examines corporate social responsibility. The paper explains that this is a term used to describe the way a corporation operates in regard to the community and environment in which it resides and the ethical and moral standards in which it conducts business. The paper looks at how corporate social responsibility is quickly becoming an increasingly important issue as consumers are holding corporations progressively more accountable for their methods of business practices and operations. The paper then discuses how in today's current global economy, corporations can no longer operate on the level of autonomy that was once common, and how this is evident in the increasing decentralization of the traditional corporate hierarchy that is becoming more common in corporations across the nation. In conclusion, the paper shows that companies must evolve with time and generational changes in order to maintain success and long-term profitability.
From the Paper
"Regardless of these positive aspects of Costlos' corporate environment, the net losses posted for the last two quarters denotes a need for fiscal policy and business model change while attempting to maintain its' current level of stakeholder confidence. As the fifth largest retailer in
the United States, Costlo has an inherent responsibility to not only shareholders but to employees', suppliers and the communities in which it operates as well.
"Over the years, the topic of corporate social responsibility has been gaining ground both in popularity and importance. The traditional Friedman or shareholder view of a corporations' only role in social responsibility is to "...use its resources to engage in activities designed to increase its' profits..." (Friedman 1970) in itself may be narrow though it is nonetheless true."

Abstract
Most developed societies in the recent past, after the 18th century Industrial Revolution in Britain, have adopted capitalism, socialism, or the mixed economy as their politico-economic system. This paper presents a brief comparison of the three systems by discussing their essential features, their effect on the living standards of people, and how the knowledge of the three systems would help a manager in the decision making process.
From the Paper
"Another characteristic of Capitalism is that it considers individual rights as the cornerstone of its philosophy and forbids the initiation of physical force that interferes with the rights of an individual?whether such force is initiated by a criminal or by the government. (Simpson, 2003). Use of physical force by a criminal consists of acts such as murder, rape and robbery to deprive an individual of a legitimately earned right; or the imposition of taxes or regulations by the government that interfere with the voluntary acts of individuals such as the acceptance of a lower than minimum specified wage by an employee from an employer."

The authors' preface briefly addresses the climate of fear and suspicion that had surrounded all previous attempts at such investigation and deplores the lack of a supportive response from the biological or psychological science communities for projects of this type. Their study, limited in this volume to the clinical examination of the nature of sexual response, is presented as "a first step toward an open-door policy" and future research based in "investigative objectivity" (vii). It follows from the initial investigations of sexual behavior conducted by Kinsey from 1938 to 1952 which, as the authors note, did include questions of physiology and anatomy. In order to achieve ..."

From the Paper
"Throughout history human beings have attempted to produce theories of knowledge and learning. Some of the most basic questions such theories have attempted to answer concern what knowledge is, where knowledge comes from and how we know what is true. Plato theorized that only things that do not change, that are immutable can be known. Limitations of the human senses and perception have always played into theories on knowing. So too has human capacity for ration and more..."

From the Paper
"According to a separate report, "Migrant trafficking and smuggling has become a global business generating huge profits for traffickers and organized crime syndicates." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) In fact in a study conducted by IOM reports "...an estimated 15 to 30 million irregular migrants worldwide." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) Sadly a report of the U.S. Department of Justice states that an estimated "...700,000 women and children are trafficked yearly across borders." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) The reason stated that so many of these migrants go unreported is due to the inherent "...clandestine nature..." involved in so many of the lives and migration of these individuals."

Human rights vs. Human Nature, 2006.
A discussion regarding the justification of war and the issue of human rights versus human nature.

Abstract
This paper reviews the question of justifying military intervention on the basis of protection of human rights, pointing out that such a question requires a prior assumption. The paper clarifies this assumption to be that countries are capable of benevolent, disinterested altruism. History refutes this assumption. The paper further discusses how individuals and groups within a country may very well have the best intentions to bring relief to the suffering citizens of a brutal dictatorship or civil war; but countless examples, from Vietnam, to Latin America, to Rwanda, to present day Iraq, show a road to hell paved with such good intentions. The political and military forces involved in such maneuvers, by their very nature, preclude truly altruistic actions.

From the Paper
"Abstract
This paper is an investigation of the topic of aggression in both humans and non-human primates with an attempt to understand the causes of such aggression and what links exist between the aggressive behaviors of different primate species.
The literature on primate aggression is reviewed and a number of bases for aggressive behavior are put forth, including psychoanalytic, biological, evolutionary and learned. The validity of each of these explanatory paradigms is examined and the evolutionary and social learning perspectives are established as being the most useful bases on which to create theoretical models of primate aggressive behavior.
A substantial amount of attention is paid to possible evolutionary causes of aggression and evolutionarily based links between the aggressive tendencies..:

Abstract
As an organization reacts to changes in the marketplace, often the role of human resources management (HRM) changes.

Diversity
Ethics
Conclusion
From the Paper
"E-business and internet technology have aided in the dissemination of vital HRM information such as the organizational mission statement, employee code of conduct, organization ethic policies and job postings. The fast pace of e-business however, creates numerous HRM challenges. Companies must solicit, and hire talented skilled individuals in a highly competitive market. Organizations engaging in e-business must also ensure a creative work environment for the associates while also ensuring compliance with policies and procedure of the organization. "Dot-coms are vulnerable to potential legal problems related to human resources". "This occurs because successful dot-coms have to focus so intently on bringing a product or service to market and making sales to survive that they do not find time to develop HRM policies, procedures or standards" (Noe et al, 2003 p. 25). Despite the challenges, e-business is a growing industry and HRM must keep pace in response to the market demands of consumers. "

Abstract
This essay briefly reviews three articles that discuss human sexuality and how the Church treats it. It looks at "Intimacy and Sexuality: A Letter to Catholic Secondary Students in Ontario" by the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ontario, Kenneth R. Overberg's article, "A Consistent Ethic of Life" and "Fully Alive," sponsored and developed by the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ontario and Ontario's Catholic educators. The paper then gives a personal response to the article "Human Sexuality: 'Wonderful Gift' and 'Awesome Responsibility,'" written by Richard Sparks.
From the Paper
"On the other hand, there are aspects of this article that seem dangerously out of step with modern realities. For example, it again reiterates the prohibition against contraceptive devices of any kind. Yet the reality is that the population of the entire world is threatened by the AIDS pandemic, and that condoms are the most effective prophylactic against contracting AIDS. For example, one of the fastest growing segments of AIDS sufferers is heterosexual women. Moreover, it is well known that many wives are completely faithful, but are infected by their unfaithful husbands, who have affairs or use prostitutes. By continuing to prohibit condoms, the Church sentences these innocent women to lingering, painful deaths - and deprives their children of their mothers. I find this unconscionable, obtuse, unbelievable and unforgivable."

Abstract
This paper discusses the growing significance of human resource management and focuses on different roles and duties assigned to HR managers. The American workforce is unique in its characteristics and is therefore more complex than workers in other countries. This distinctive and diverse workforce requires a very well organized and highly sophisticated human resource management team.
From the Paper
"The American corporate world is facing serious challenges currently and productivity has become a grave problem for most of the firms in the United States. While we can attribute these challenges to the current slow down in the economy, it is important to understand that internal forces are equally responsible for lower productivity and efficiency, which is resulting in massive annual losses for both large and small firms. The economy is faced with a recession like situation where lower productivity and lower revenues are common issues being tackled by all firms. But here we need to understand that the companies, which will eventually come out of this negative situation intact, would be the companies with best and most sound internal forces."

From the Paper
"The culture of the organization is also an important aspect that the HR department needs to understand. Ensuring that the culture and the work ethics of the workers selected for the company understand and fit together well is important. Human relationships especially in the work place are complex and the dynamic that exist between worker and management or between worker and another worker cannot be easily compartmentalized and segregated by the manager overseeing the operations in the organization.

From the Paper
"During the late 1990s, the term, "New Economy," began appearing in articles and news reports as analysts sought to describe transactions that were largely Internet-based, or at least transactions which did not require consumers entering a brick and mortar store. Articles were written about the young entrepreneurs who were rewriting business rules, about companies where Casual Friday evolved into Casual Everyday, and how the New Economy would radically change the entire business landscape. As 2000 draws to a close, however, it is becoming obvious that the Old Economy is not going to go away entirely. Many of the touted "dot com" companies have gone bankrupt as they were unable to produce that most traditional product of the Old Economy: profit. New Economy companies are finding that they must integrate Old Economy ..."
