Abstract
This paper examines the short stories in "Jesus' Son" by Denis Johnson, that upon first reading seems mis-titled. The book features a collection of moments in the life of the narrator who is afflicted with multiple drug addictions and has an apathetic view of life. While the author made an attempt at redeeming the character, the book is disjointed and the stories too open-ended and transitory to allow for the much-needed journey from sin to salvation.
From the Paper
"Indeed, it seems his prophetic insight and poetic visions of truth might have the ability to turn him into a greater type of being, one capable of being saved from himself. However, he manages to twist the beauty of his feelings, and turn them into grotesque shadows of the potentially beautiful sentiments he has. In this vein, he makes the comment: "That was my idea of sacrifice, tossing yourself away, discarding your body." On the one hand, he has struck upon the Christian ideal of losing the corrupt, sinful body and its pleasures, which can only lead to damnation. In the Christian reckoning, this allows the sacrificed to achieve a moral, spiritual wholeness, which is their reward and redemption. The narrator, however, does not append this colloquy to his statement of sacrifice."

Abstract
This paper examines "Jesus' Son" by Denis Johnson, a collection of short stories on heroin addiction. It looks at how it quickly, but thoroughly, progresses from a violent car wreck at the beginning, to criminal acts and drug use, to sacrifice, overdose, voyeurism, relief, and demonstrates throughout all of it, the singular and joyous realization that all these things are in some way beautiful. It evaluates how Johnson intertwines a spiritual insightfulness through the constant chaos that revolves around him and through him.
From the Paper
"This sometimes austere novel does take the reader on a 1970's journey into the life of a drug addict and the world in which he lived. And the numbness of the prose is almost meant to evoke the numbness of the narrator's existence. One could compare the experience of reading the narrative to the experience of having an actual junkie sitting next to you on a bus, mumbling the words at you in a repellent manner. But then, POW! The reader is again hit with a touching, human sentiment about love and life and again, Johnson draws the reader in and leaves them satisfied and wanting to know more."

Jesus, God the Son.
This paper uses biblical sources to discuss Jesus, God the Son.

Abstract
This paper explains that, as the Second Adam, Jesus re-enacted the scene in the Garden of Eden and reversed the choice of the First Adam through perfect obedience to God, the Father, who came into the world without the curse of sin, which has passed from Adam down to the last mortal, by being conceived of the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Divine Trinity and born of a virgin, Mary of Nazareth. The author points out that Jesus speaks of God, the Father, as His Father in a most distinct way. God is the Father of others in that He is of the same nature as His Father, His divine sonship being clearly recorded in the Synoptic Gospels. The paper relates that every mortal is confronted with a choice to accept or reject the offer of salvation by Jesus Christ, who claims to be the Son of God and God the Son; the choice involves everlasting happiness or everlasting punishment, and it is not a mere option that can be rationalized.
From the Paper
"In the company of His first disciples, Jesus walked on the sea, calmed the storm and cast out demons (Mark 6:47-50, Mark 1:23-28, 4:35-41). After 40 days and 40 nights of fasting in the wilderness, Jesus was tempted by the devil to prove that He is the Son of God by turning stones into bread and hurling Himself down from the top of a temple (Matt 4:4-6). He preached that men should come to God trustingly as little children, "for such is the kingdom of God (Mark 10:13-16)." He taught obedience to God the Father from His own example of perfect obedience, even to the point of dying on the cross (Philippians 2:8), as His part in the divine plan, for which alone He became flesh."

Johnson & Johnson, 2005.
This paper discusses the Johnson & Johnson company especially its major brand-drug Tylenol.

Abstract
This paper explains that, since the 1885 partnership of the Johnson brothers, Johnson & Johnson has had a remarkable growth, world-wide especially, after World War II, when a plan of decentralizing operations was introduced, dividing the consumer market under the brand Johnson & Johnson and the professional markets under the current Ethicon brand label. The author points out that the Tylenol product not only has had problem with product tampering, which led to the introduction of tamper-proof packaging, but also this drug is deemed as having a narrower range between therapeutic and toxic than any other non-prescription drug especially for children. The paper concludes that, today, Johnson & Johnson is (1) a stable company with acceptable growth, but not as venturesome or dynamic in product innovations as some of its rivals and (2) is know as a family-friendly place to work with opportunities, especially for women and minorities.
From the Paper
"Saachi & Saatchi, one of the world's largest advertising agencies, handles some of Johnson & Johnson's consumer products advertising. Tylenol continues its campaign to promote its products as being used and recommended by health care professionals and used in hospitals more than any other "pain reliever". Pepcid AC has a strong campaign, positioned against other antacids as being able to be taken BEFORE a meal, as well as after. Feminine hygiene products are advertised most frequently in soap operas and other programming, aimed at women, of course. It is likely that in the coming year, the Nicorette brand anti-smoking products will increase their coverage, being outspent by rival Nicoderm. Rumors of a Nicorette product (perhaps a chewing gum) aimed at helping teens to stop smoking are not confirmed by the company."

Abstract
This paper is a stock analysis of Johnson & Johnson, Inc. and their efforts at reducing costs, increasing market share, meeting their shareholders and stakeholders as well as industry expectations while still fulfilling the very high levels of quality demanded by their customers. The author uses the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which takes into consideration the inherent risk that is associated with any investment and the rates of return, to determine that Johnson & Johnson's return on investment must be greater than a return of 6.07 percent. The paper concludes that, through new acquisitions, novel business strategies and a regular migration to cheaper labor pools, Johnson & Johnson Inc has become a strong force to be reckoned with in the highly competitive major drugs and healthcare industry; the author recommends a buy order at $60.

"The company has a long history of innovation and success. The founders created the first 'ready-made, ready-to-use surgical dressings' and initiated the way for 'application of the theory of antiseptic wound treatment' in the mid-1880's. These new products and services concepts literally reduced the threat of infection and disease in postoperative victims and helped save many lives in the early days of modern medicine. "The story begins with the discoveries of Sir Joseph Lister, a noted English surgeon, who identified airborne germs as a source of infection in the operating room. He called them, with grim aptness, the "invisible assassins." Medical science was beginning to understand, however imperfectly, the need for greater care in protecting the wound area."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"JNJ's move into markets that require more sophistication in drug development and production is also exemplified by their move into the market for medications to treat Schizophrenia, an area of their business that made up 18% of total 2006 pharmaceutical revenues. The anemia market is another source of challenge for the company as price erosion has been necessary to stem market share losses. We assume revenue erosion in the mid-single digits over the next 3 years with continued competition from Amgen and some modest negative effects from Roche's Cera, expected to launch in May 2007. The anemia franchise (Procrit/Eprex) made up 14% of JNJ's pharmaceutical sales in 2006.
The MD&D division has enjoyed industry leadership, particularly at the company's Cordis business. This previously fast-growing business made up 20% of JNJ's MD&D sales in 2006 and a significant proportion of its profit. Noteworthy competition from Boston Scientific, Abbott, and Medtronic is likely to erode market share beginning in 2007, driving Cordis sales declines in the range of 4% to 19% in 2007-10. The Conor acquisition is expected to be successful.The Consumer division should benefit from the recent acquisition of Pfizer's consumer line."

From the Paper
"Johnson and Johnson does business within the healthcare sector and has industry membership in the major drug field. Because of the nature of this industry and the risk involved with drug manufacture, it can be very difficult to gage and predict its performance over time. Right now the drug industry is suffering the fallout from the recall of Celebrex. There are also other warnings being recently about other drugs such as Strattera. There has been much media scrutiny of the FDA and its prior approval of drugs like Accutane. What does this mean for the market and its companies? For the future, it may mean increased drug testing, which can be extremely costly, and time consuming."

Abstract
This paper argues that Johnson & Johnson is a prime example of a company directed by "virtue ethics." As evidenced by the Tylenol crises, J&J executives do not resort to a moral calculus (Utilitarianism) or a deontological (rule-based) method of ethical decision making (Kant). The paper evaluates the company in terms of corporate control devices, stakeholder theory, the CSR pyramid, Kohlberg's theory of moral development and ethical theory.

"When all was said and done the recall of Tylenol* alone cost Johnson & Johnson over $100 million. Prior to the crisis, Tylenol held a 37% market share, outselling its four nearest competitors combined. Within weeks after the crisis its market share had dropped to 7%. When asked about the future of Tylenol, Madison Avenue guru Jerry Della Femina told a New York Times reporter "I don't think they (J&J) can ever sell another product under that name.""

Abstract
The paper defines rational organizations as those which seek to develop structure and coordinate their activities in response to technical requirements and in relation to the complexity of the task environment they face. The paper shows how 'Johnson & Johnson' has established its mission and vision by putting in place a rational organizational structure, defining reporting relationships, establishing a project management methodology and infrastructure, developing a communications plan in support of the group's global leadership role, creating position descriptions, and recruiting. A history of the company is also discussed.
From the Paper
"Johnson & Johnson attributes the success of its organization structure to its management of each separate part as part of a functioning, single entity. By grouping its global affiliates into three business segments and then overlaying each segment and its affiliates with a transparent structure of alignment, Johnson & Johnson has created a unique organization structure."

From the Paper
"In 1982, the Johnson and Johnson Corporation suffered a major blow when one of their top selling products, Tylenol, was laced with cyanide while on store shelves and resulted in seven deaths in the Chicago area. The company responded immediately to the problem and launched a highly successful public relations campaign which averted any long-lasting damage to the company's image. On the other hand, after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, Exxon responded so poorly and so slowly that the company still has not recovered its public image. This paper will look at the two disasters, how each company responded, and suggest a public relations strategy which will work for any major corporation placed in this situation.
In March of 1989, the Exxon Valdez, an oil tanker, ran aground on Bligh Reef, dumping 11 million gallons of crude oil..."

Abstract
This paper explains that when the crisis with Tylenol happened, in the 1980s, people were less in tune with public relations and the ramifications. The writer examines how the company dealt with the crisis and concludes that had this happened today, the results would have been far worse for the company.
From the Paper
"Johnson and Johnson has been a very broadly based organization that has been manufacturing health care products since a very long time. It started its footsteps as a child in the mid 1880s with the production of ready-to-use, ready-made surgical dressing. It was the first company to have applied the theory of wound treatment by use of antiseptics. With its application, the chances of infection in postoperative patients reduced greatly. General Robert Wood Johnson wrote the Company's Credo in 1943 which explained the responsible approach of Johnson and Johnson in carrying out their business. It states that the Company's initial most responsibility is to serve the people who make use of their services and products. Second in their priority list comes the employees followed by the environment and community and the last being the stockholders. This shows that Company had aimed to serve the consumers and wished to provide them with the best. It had also envisioned that if the first three priorities were met, the last one i.e. the stockholders, would be fulfilled automatically. "The philosophy at Johnson & Johnson is, 'All accidents and injuries are preventable. An accident is the end result of a unique chain of events and conditions. The role of all Johnson & Johnson employees is to foresee these acts and intercept them before they occur,' says Van Houten" (Smith, 2003). Health and safety are of utmost importance to Johnson and Johnson and they do not allow factors such as profits, sales and production to compromise the safety and health issues. During 1944, Johnson and Johnson became public from a privately held organization. Johnson and Johnson later realized its need to expand and diversify its business and during the 1950s, it entered into pharmaceuticals and later on produced Tylenol, a well known pain killer."

"Next, they mention their employees and how they have a responsibility to each man and woman who works for them, to make sure that their pay is fair, their working conditions are safe, and the way they are treated by the management team is ethical and fair. From their employees, they move on to the communities in which they live and work and the citizens who also share those communities. They set forth in their credo the beliefs that they will pay their fair share of taxes, keep their environment clean, and do what they can to help the communities in which they run their businesses (Our, 2003)."
