Abstract
This essay examines the dilemma in making a decision put before a hypothetical student at McGill University. If the ends always justify the means and personal ambition is a virtue, then one would most certainly take a job that promised one personal rewards and might also, as an added, but not necessary bonus, help the rest of humanity. However this paper looks at this decision from the perspective of the Mahayan Buddhist.
From the Paper
"While it is not moral to kill, the Buddhist also recognizes the fact that death is not the end, that in each life all sentient beings inhabit a mortal body that appears in the transient world and is lead through the cycle of death and rebirth to enlightenment. It may be that part of one's mission in a life is to help create medicines that will benefit many others."

Abstract
This paper considers the use of a non-monetary reward system for a department that cannot provide added money for incentive. It notes research showing that non-monetary rewards can be as important as monetary rewards for many employees and so can serve as motivators for improved performance. It claims, therefore, that making such an approach is ideal for any organization or division that has a limited budget or lacks full control of its budget but still needs to use rewards for motivation and job satisfaction.
From the Paper
"Companies often have to find ways of providing rewards that do not involve monetary rewards. Non-monetary rewards can include such things as added perquisites, promotions, recognition, and similar elements in the workplace. Research shows that non-monetary rewards can be as important as monetary rewards for many employees and so can serve as motivators for improved performance, making such an approach ideal for any organization or division that has a limited budget or lacks full control of its budget but still needs to use rewards for motivation and job satisfaction. A study reported by the American Management Association (1999) states that organizations that provide both recognition and job performance measurements enjoy higher levels of job satisfaction among their employees. It is also stated that there is a strong statistical correlation between employee satisfaction and increased company profits, a fact supported by a nationwide survey of U.S. workers ..."

Humanity and the Natural World, 2007.
An examination of the writings of Jean Jacques Rousseau and John Hobbes on the relationship between humanity and nature.
1,323 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»

Abstract
The paper examines Jean Jacques Rousseau's writing about humanity where he asserts that humans are good innately, but that as they grow into society, they acquire bad traits. The paper reviews John Hobbes' views of natural laws, where he questions how humans can have total liberty and yet governments can also have authority to define what these liberties should be. The paper explains how Hobbes intended for his philosophy to be understood.
From the Paper
"The problem with humans, one can read into Rousseau's discourse, is that they are good innately, but that as they grow into society, they acquire bad traits. In his Discourse (number 2) Rousseau writes that once man (i.e. "mankind" or "humanity") acquired "new intelligence" and "increased his superiority over other animals," he now set out on "thousand tricks" and he would become "master" over some individuals and "the scourge" over others. After awhile, "men became bloody and cruel" and from the time "one man began to stand in need of the help of another...equality disappeared." So, when man left the Natural World, he changed into something ugly and unnatural, readers can glean from Rousseau."

Abstract
This paper discusses the hierarchy of needs theory and the expectancy theory and how they apply to the rewards system at Ernst & Young. The paper is written by an employee of Ernst & Young and describes the company's rewards system and benefits package. The paper examines the theoretical underpinnings of Ernst & Young's present day rewards system and summarizes A. Maslow's major tenants in his hierarchy of needs paradigm.
From the Paper
"A more self-actualized senior executive, on the other hand, is confident enough of his abilities and eager enough to solve problems on a regular basis no matter what the difficulties and he will be innately more comfortable with uncertainty and risk. And the grater the risk, as the old adage goes, the greater the rewards. The most valued of which isn't necessarily money and what it can buy, financial security or status or the camaraderie of his fellow executives but the conviction that he is living up to his fullest potential."

Tangible and Intangible Rewards, 2002.
A discussion of the importance of a company to provide tangible and intangible rewards to its employees.
1,050 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper defines the concepts of "tangible" and "intangible" rewards and compares the benefits of each of these to the employee. The practice of rewarding employees is essential in a company and the paper looks at the advantages for the businesses which include higher employee motivation, higher output and job satisfaction. The paper also examines whether tangible or intangible rewards provide different results.
From the Paper
"There has always been a need to make structured rewards as well as recognition systems in order to give confidence and support to employees and managers for changing their behavior towards work as individual as well as a group.
"However, the correct method to rewards varies across stages of implementation that may have necessary added rewards to tie it to formal measurement and performance appraisal. These rewards whether tangible or intangible, are means of recognizing the value of sharing and working hard, appreciating the contributions the employees make in the organization, as well as a rising awareness about the importance of not noticing what they know (APQC, 2001)."

Abstract
This paper, which heavily emphasizes the need for humanity to utilize methods of living with nature rather than envisioning the natural world as a source of material goods, presents a concept that is by no means new but is almost always overlooked: Humanity's perception of the natural world as an enemy and a source of plunder will eventually lead to its downfall.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the destruction of nature and examines how this causes a separation between humanity and nature. The paper contends that this is happening even though both humanity and nature exist on the same planet and each are dependent on the other in the maintenance of a delicate balance that is necessary for the existence of all. The paper identifies man's greed as the primary cause of this imbalance.
From the Paper
"Man and nature have co-existed on this planet called Earth for many millennia however, there is presently in existence am imbalance that has been created by man's overindulgence and selfish greed. The beginning of this indulgence and greed is as old as mankind itself however the present population load on Earth has culminated in over-use, over-consumption and has resulted in the over-taxation of the planet and its' species of nature which are illustrated in the plant and fauna as well as the animal kingdom of the planet."

Crimes of War and against Humanity, 2005.
This paper examines the aspect of war crimes and looks at crimes against humanity.

Abstract
This fifteen page undergraduate paper examines war crimes and crimes against humanity, which are universally condemned as the most extreme violations of fundamental human rights. The writer notes that tragically, history has proven that atrocities and genocide are rarely prevented, for the international community is usually incapable of taking action, unwilling to intervene, or unaware of the scope of the crimes. Further, the writer points out that just as tragically, the infamy of war crimes and crimes against humanity is compounded by the fact that the perpetrators usually escape justice. In order to analyze why this is the case and assess what this demonstrates about the nature of international governance, the writer explains that it is necessary to acknowledge the inherent conflict between international law and state sovereignty, for independent laws and policies often prevent effective prosecution.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper briefly outlines how humanity can survive global warming despite its obvious dangers to human beings. Most notably, the paper looks at how human beings contribute to climate change and thus are uniquely qualified among all the Earth's creatures to reverse the destructive trends that are taking place. In a related vein, the paper looks at how climate change threatens human life and the existence of other organisms residing on the planet. The author concludes that although we are at a pivotal moment in history - we can overcome the problems of today with a clear plan for tomorrow.
From the Paper
"To begin with, Gore's text emphasizes the vulnerability of the Earth upon which we live. Specifically, the Earth's atmosphere is notoriously thin - like a thin coat of varnish spread out over a classroom globe, As Carl Sagan once said (Gore, 22) - and that makes it extraordinarily vulnerable to cosmic forces and to anything humankind might inflict upon it. In particular, Gore argues that human industry is "thickening" the vulnerable atmosphere with carbon dioxide gases that are simply not permitting infrared radiation to escape out into the universe. As a result, the temperature on the Earth's surface is rising steadily, threatening the delicate equilibrium that has allowed human life (and other forms of life) to flourish for so long (Gore, 26-27). The question, then, of whether or not human beings can survive in spite of themselves seems fairly clear; to wit, if we can negatively affect the composition of the atmosphere with our huge manufacturing industries, then we can also positively change the composition of that same atmosphere by embracing environmentally-friendly practices. Seen in that light, human beings really can survive global warming insofar as it lies within our power to change atmospheric conditions for the better."

Abstract
The paper relates the manner in which teachers influence a students life and the progression thereof into adulthood. The writer speaks of his ambitions to enter the teaching profession and how certain people in his development influenced his decision. The paper continues with a discussion of the rewards and satisfaction received in the author's teaching career.
From the Paper
"The role of a teacher in a student's life is significant. In many ways teachers are closer to their students then their parents. The nature of a child and the privilege of taking part in the nurturing of that child is a gift in a life that is far too short. The above quote speaks of knowing teachers as people--in order for that to happen the children that we teach must be seen as people as well.
"Jean Piaget built his career on the notion that children move through stages in their development--as a teacher and parent you can't help but support his theory (Piaget, 1954, p. 12-24). Keeping the developmental stages of a child in mind has helped me to choose when I want to influence the life of a child and has assisted me in understanding the actions of children in the grades I teach which are K-6.

A look at the importance of business reward strategies and approaches in the international organizations.

Abstract
This paper examines reward strategies and other associated approaches in the terms of their potential to add value in our modern international business environment. The paper explains that as the trend of escalating globalization continues, human resource managers and business leaders will have to contend with all new intercultural differences and many multinational organizations require their employees to work abroad. The writer points out that consequently, organizations will need rewards systems and approaches that will address the challenges that will arise in this new global business spectrum. The reward systems will need to be able to address the needs of multiple cultures as well as in multinational teams. The paper shows that since international business has fueled the global economy, from the perspective of business leaders, most feel that the world economy is driven by specific aspects of their organizations. The paper concludes that the how these international business organizations recruit, hire, train, retain and motivate their people will be the true engine that drives the world economy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"When this process is functioning properly, employees benefit by having their ranking systems leveled and therefore it is not a disadvantage when working in location A over location B. The classification systems of a well managed rewards process does not penalize any employee who chooses to relocate for the benefit of the firm. Other employee advantages to a well managed rewards process can also be seen in the overall job satisfaction, communication and other intrinsic symbols of organizational success.
Rewards packages clearly benefit employees of international organizations when they take into consideration the various cultural differences that may be present throughout the organization. The program must understand how people work in different countries in regard to geographical and organizational differences. These differences could be driven by each country's specific laws, beliefs and cultural expectations. "Depending on where you're sending employees, different services-such as social security, leave and health insurance -will be alternately government-provided, mandated by the government or voluntarily enrolled in by the employee."

Organizational Rewards System, 2005.
This paper is a literature review of the relationship of organizational culture and rewards systems.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in general, the literature states that an organizational culture, which fosters communication and a collaborative or team oriented environment, is more likely to successful implement a rewards system. The author points out that, in a majority of organizations, the primary factors influencing pay structures include organizational culture, the presence of or lack of performance measurement systems, the organizational design (i.e. whether an organization is hierarchical or more democratically or team based) and the size of a company. The paper suggest that employee compensation and internal pay structure vary according to the profitability of the firm and the degree to which a firm hires more technically skilled the employees, who be compensated at a higher rate.
From the Paper
"Johnson (2000) finds that supervisors perceptions of culture are generally much more positive than employees perceptions of culture, and that for a rewards program to be successfully implemented it is critical that the organizational climate be assessed more from an employees perspective than that of a manager. Johnson further descries the notion that a rewards based system is more feasibly adopted in a democratic vs. a hierarchical work climate where management and labor relations in general are perceived more favorably."
