Student Conduct & Discipline The University of Texas System and The University of Texas at Dallas have rules and regulations for the trim and efficient conduct of their business.It is the responsibility of each educatee and each scholar organization to be knowledgeable about the rules an d regulations which govern disciple conduct and activities. The University of Texas at Da llas administers educatee discipline within the procedures of accepted and established due process. Procedures are defined and described in the Rules and Regulations of th e Board of Regents of the University of Texas System, Part 1, Chapter VI, Section 3, and in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities of the Course Syllabus Page 8, Universitys enchiridion of operating(a) Procedures.Copies of these rules and regulations are available to scholarly persons in the Office of the doyen of Students, where staff members are available to assist scholarly persons in interpreting the rules and regulations (SSB 4. 400, 972/883- 6391). A scholarly person at the university neither loses the rights nor escapes the responsibilities of citizenship. He or she is expected t o obey federal, state, and local laws as well as the Regents Rules, university regulations, and administrative rules.Students are subject to discip line for violating the standards of conduct whether such conduct takes place on or off campus, or whether civil or criminal penalti es are also imposed for such conduct. schoolman Integrity The competency and administration of the School of Management expect from our schoolchilds a high level of responsibility and academ ic honesty. Because the value of an pedantic degree depends upon the absolute ace of the work done by the school-age child for that degree, it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard of individual honor in his or her scholastic work.We w an t to establish a theme for the honorable behavior of our graduates , which extends throughout their careers. Both your individual reputation and the schools reputation matter to your success. The Judicial Affairs website lists examples of academic treason. swindle includes, but is not limited to cheating, plag iarism, collusion, facilitating academic dishonesty, fabrication, failure to contribute to a collaborative project and sabotage. Some of the ways students may engage in academic dishonesty are Coughing and/or using optical or auditory signals in a testConcealing notes on hands, caps, shoes, in pockets or the back of beverage bottle labels Writing in blue books prior to an examination Writing information on blackboards, desks, or keeping notes on the floor Obtaining copies of an exam in advance enactment information from an earlier class to a later class go forth information in the bathroom Exchanging exams so that neighbors have identical test forms Having a switch ta ke a test and providing falsified identification for the substitute Fabricating data for lab fittingsChanging a graded paper and requesting that it be regraded Failing to turn in a test or assignment and later suggesting the power member lost the item Stealing another(prenominal) students graded test and affixing ones own name on it Recording two answers, one on the test form, one on the answer yellow journalism Marking an answer sheet to enable another to see the answer Encircling two next answers and claiming to have had the correct nswer Stealing an exam for someone in another section or for placement in a test file Using an electronic device to store test information, or to send or receive answers for a test Destroying or removing library materials to garner an academic advantage Consulting assignment solutions posted on websites of previous course offerings Transferring a computer file from one persons account to another Transmitting posted answers for an exam to a student in a testing area via electronic device 9Downloading text from the Internet or other commencements without proper a ttribution Citing to false references or noteings in research or other academic exercises Unauthorized collaborating with another person in preparing academic exercises Submitting a substantial portion of the same academic work more than once without wr itten authorization from the instructor. http//www. utdallas. edu/judicialaffairs/UTDJudicialAffairs -Basicexamples. html Updated August, 2011 Plagiarism on written assignments, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other classes, and from any other source is unacceptable.During tests and quizzes, students in this section are not allowed to have with them any forage or drinks, scratch paper, cours e materials, textbooks, notes, invisible ink pens, or electronic devices, including IPads, IPhones, IPods, MP3 Players, earphones, radios, smart phones, cameras, calculators, multi-function timepieces, or computers. When possible, students should sit in alterna ting seats, face forward at all times, and remove any clothing which might stop eye movements, reflect images of anothers work, or hide co urse material for copying.Exam proctors will monitor any talk or foretoken between students by talking, whispering, or making sounds, or by using your hands, feet, other body movements, the test paper itself or your composing implement. Students in this course suspected of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinal proceedings, and if found responsible, the following minimum abets will be applied 1. Homework Zero for the Assignment 2. Case Write-ups Zero for the Assignment 3. Quizzes Zero for the Quiz 4. Presentations Zero for the Assignment 5.Group Work Zero for the Assignment for all radical members 6. Tests F for the course These sanctions will be administered only after a student has been found officially responsible for academic dishonesty, eith er through waiving thei r right for a disciplinary earshot, or being declared responsib le after a hearing administered by Judicial Affairs and the doyen of Students Office. In the event that the student receives a impuissance grade for the course for academic dishonesty, the student is not allowed to withdraw as a way of preventing the grade from being entered on their record.Where a student receives an F in a course and chooses to take the course over to improve their grade, the original grade of F remains on their transcript, but does not count towards calculati on of their GPA. The School of Management also militia the right to review a students disciplinary record, on file with the doyen of Students, as one of the criteria for determine a students eligibility for a scholarship. Judicial Affairs ProceduresUnder authority delegated by the Dean of Students, a aptitude member who has reason to suspect that a student has engaged in academic dishonesty may conduct a conference with the student in complia nce with the following procedures (i) The student will be informed that he/she is believed to have committed an act or acts of academic dishonesty in violation of University rules (ii) The student will be presented with any information in the knowledge or possession of the instructor which tends to support the allegation(s) of academic dishonesty iii) The student will be given an opportunity to present information on his/her behalf (iv) After meeting with the student, the faculty member may choose not to refer the allegation if he/she determines that the allegations are not supported by the evidence or (v) After meeting with the student, the faculty member may refer the allegations to the dean of students on with a referral form and all supporting supporting of the alleged violation.Under detach co ver, the faculty member should forward the appropriate grade to be assessed if a student is found to be responsible for academic dishonesty (vi) The faculty member may consult with the dean of students in determining the recommended grade (vii) The faculty member must not impose any independent sanctions upon the student in lieu of a referral to Judicial Affairs (viii) The faculty member may not impose a sanction of suspension or expulsion, but may make this recommendation in the referral documentationIf the faculty member chooses not to meet with the student and instead out front the appropriate documentation directly to the dean of students, they should attempt to inform the student of the allegation and revalue the student that the information has been forwarded to the Office of Dean of Students for investigation . 10 The student, pending a hearing, remains responsible for all academic exercises and syllabus requirements. The student may re main in class if the students presence in the class does not throw in with the professors ability to teach the class or the ability of other class members to learn. See Section 49. 0, page V-49-4 for information regardin g the remotion of a student from class). Upon receipt of the referral form, class syllabus, and the supporting material/documentation from the faculty member, the dean shall proceed under the guidelines in the Handbook of Operating Procedures , Chapter 49, Subchapter C. If the respondent disputes the facts upon which the allegations are based, a fair and impartial disciplinary committee comprised of UTD faculty and students, shall hold a hearing and determine the responsibility of the student.If they find the student in violation of the code of conduct, the de an will then tolerate the minimum sanction as provided in the syllabus, and share this information with the student. The dean will review the students prior disciplinary record and assess additional sanctions where appropriate to the circumstances. The dean will inf orm the student and the faculty member of their decision. Email Use The University of Texas at Dallas recognizes the value and efficiency of communication betwee n faculty/staff and students through electronic mail.At the same time, email raises some issues concerning security and the individuation of each individual in an email exchange. The university encourages all official student email correspondence be sent only to a students U. T. Dallas email address and that faculty and staff consider email from students official only if it originates from a UTD student account. This allows the university to maintain a high degree of confidence in the identity of all individual corresponding and the security of the transmitted information.UTD furnishes each student with a free email account that is to be used in all communication with university personnel. The Department of Information Resources at U. T. Dallas provides a method for students to have their U. T. Dallas mail forwarded to other accounts. Withdrawal from Class The administration of this creation has set deadlines for separation of any college -level courses. These dates and times are published in that semesters course catalog.

Gender Stereotypes in Gary Winick’s Bride Wars Essay

2009 has not just now been a fruitful yearso farfor the American filmmaking industry, at least in terms of quality and originality. If the latter part of 2008, as in close years, was marked by the release of some of the some memorable films in history, the first four months of 2009 have mostly made-for-children movies, wild-eyed comedies, and guy-bonding flicks. Bride Wars is a relatively superficial bind on wo handss obsession with weddings, and is currently ranked at number nine in the cite of top-grossing films worldwide.Directed by Gary Winick and starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson, Bride Wars narrates the vitalitylong friendship of Emma and Livwomen in their mid-20s who, as new-fangled girls, made plans for almost identical weddings. When they hire the alike(p) wedding planner who schedules them two on the same time, day, and venue, the conflict begins and the wars take place. A series of impossible schemes hatched by each to hinder the others plans ensues, yet u ltimately end in glad endings for both.Despite its arguable shallowness and lack of believability, Bride Wars may still be evaluated according to specific themes inherent in the tidings of the female head word conforming to cultural and tender traditions, particularly in terms of sexuality roles and expectations. The pivotal exposure is revealed at the very beginning of the film, as the young Emma and Liv are essayn with their respective mothers at The Plaza Hotel, an upscale positioning for weddings.They both witness a newly-married couplethe groom looking spiffy in a suit and the bride in an exquisite gownin a moment of utter romance and love this singular token drives both girls to make a p spiel to have their own weddings in the same place. merely more than the desire to be wed at The Plaza, the most notable element in this scene is the accepted level(p) expectednotion of marriage, without essentially considering the function of the process as a partnership.By being p resented with an image that fully conforms to the traditional concept of women and their social roles, the young girls immediately associate this with their own goals and ambitions. Though later scenes show how they both pursued their individual interestspublic relations for Liv and principle for Emmait is apparent how getting married is still their priority. The concept of marriage in this film is limited to the actual wedding, with a few flimsy forays into the discussion of sharing a life with another person.That first image do the boundaries of the ideology chosen by the filmmaker, as evidenced by the unreal treatment accorded to it it sends the message of perfection and idealism as befitting women by being a bride. After all the events that had taken place, Emma and Liv kept their friendship and even resulted in Emma marrying Liz brother Nate. Unsurprisingly, the last scene proven to be the answer to the firstwith the two women meeting after their honeymoons, and bring out that they were both pregnant.It is evident how this scene was meant to provide the punchline to the film, leaving its audience assuming that the same war would take place later. However, it also reinforces the established parameters designate by weddings, since pregnancy and giving birth is the traditional next ill-treat after the union. The happy occasion of revelation and re tie exhibits the place of childbirth in the context of the female role, yet it fails again to make any rail line regarding the personal significance of bearing children.Bride Wars, though peppered with pup culture references and modernistic concepts, is centuries behind in terms of gender issues and breaking free from stereotypes. unfounded romances and comedies are not strictly confined to such(prenominal) superficial subjects, which shows wherefore Bride Wars is a film alone meant for commercial objectives. How We Think, Speak, and Feel An Understanding of gay Behavior in Three Films Visitors from a nother planet are perchance the best test subjects for the assessment of texts, particularly films.Since cinema is a flick of human behavior and portrays concepts garnered from human experience, having extraterrestrials view films devoted that they understand the addresswill allow them to achieve a sense of what and how valet are. rather than take them through a historical representation of human life through films, it would be best to introduce them to the inherent traits found in most culturesthrough intelligence, language, and psychology. The three films that may be able to snuff it these are A charming Mind for intelligence, When elicit Met Sally for language, and head for psychology and its permutations.Ron Howards 2001 film A Beautiful Mind is establish on the life of gifted scientist and mathematician John Forbes Nash, and narrates his journey into schizophrenia and depression. But the film is also a real-life fib of a man given an extraordinary amount of talent, w hich shows the extent to which the human mind can progress. This education would be essential to the extraterrestrial visitors, for it will let them know how humans think whether it reveals similarities or not is the ultimate goal of the exercise.Since Nashs expertness is in numbers and formulas, logic is the knowledge represented in the film, which may be more universal compared to politics, economics, or other contextual topics. In the film, Nash is shown as having his own world apart from the people around him, only surrounding himself with equations and other methods pertaining to scientific and explainable phenomena. This is clearly presented in the scene where he writes his formulas on a glass window, consumed by the process and superior(predicate) by his environment.Seeing a human engage in such intellectual activity may inform extraterrestrials of the workings of the human mind, specifically this advanced depiction of thinking processes. On top of that, Nashs account of se eing UFOs and aliens may appear to be a point of connection with this particular audience, as it shows how human validate their existence. The 2008 film Doubt, directed by John Patrick Shanley, is set in a Catholic Church in New York in 1964. During this time, the notions of faith and religion were primarily dictated by priestsportrayed as almost immortal beings who could do no wrong.However, assumptions near the unusual behavior of Father Flynn, the parish priest, were made by the nuns tasked to care for and educate the children in the school run by the church. The result was doubt in authority and in the general power of organized religion, and eventually in the faith of the nuns in their chosen vocation. Introducing the alien guests to these concepts will acquaint them with the analyzable values and traditions of humans, which are directly associated with the idea of faith in a Higher Being.The image of Father Flynn is meant to symbolize faith itself, and accusing him of unco nventional behaviorin this case, an illicit relationship with a young boyshows how humans are capable of acting against established rules. What the aliens may glean from this could be the debate between the human need for something to believe in, whether seen or unseen, and the alternative human quality of logical analysis based on observable phenomena. When Harry Met Sally, released in 1989 and directed by Nora Ephron, is one of the most effective portrayals of the differences between men and women.Language is one of the issues illustrated by the film, and it would upbeat the extraterrestrials to see how men and women think and express themselves differently. The film narrates the friendship of Harry and Sally, which eventually ended in romance after years of seek to keep it platonic. The iconic scene where Harry and Sally are in a restaurant arguing over sexual attitudes of men and women reveals both mindset and language, as their discussion is progressed by their opposing view s and the final act of Sally faking an orgasm.Aliens and non-humans will find this portrayal extremely significant, for it almost shows how men and women are of different life forms as well. It also illustrates the mating habits of both men and women, which may be similar to their own. These three films will by all odds equip the extraterrestrials with enough information and knowledge to guide them toward a best understanding of human behavior.But while these films tackle some of the staple fiber realities present in most societies all over the world, more entangled conceptssuch as war and povertycan only be understood after fully comprehending the abilities and capacities of humans, since these are effects of a conduct use of innate human traits.

Agree or Disagree with Dissections

Why Do We Dissect ? The wile of dissection seizes for people to gain knowledge about the organisms around them in a very unique way. Dissection involves the cutting open and examination of animals or plants. somewhat of the earliest dissections date back to the third century where they were performed by classic physicians. They apply dissections as a representation of gaining a broader understanding of their cause species. Today dissections are an essential part of life.Dissections are popularly used in autopsies to determine means of death and by students to gain a better understanding of animal and human body. I personally figure dissections are the best way to learn about our own bodies through with(predicate) examining other animals. This is because of homology or similarities between certain animals and humans. Ive experienced homology in frog dissections. The internal twist of the frog was similar to the internal structure of the human body. Dissections were performed personify and virtually.The live dissection of the frog allowed me to gain a true understanding of the organ systems compared to a virtual dissection done on the computer. I believe live dissections are better, they allowed me to learn more about the type by providing a better sense of the size and structure of the specimen. finished a live dissection I also gained lab experience in using dissection tools, safety procedures and equipment. When preparing for a lab practical a live dissection is more sufficient than a virtual dissection.It is easier to identify internal structures when youve examined them up close In conclusion dissections are one of the best means of gaining knowledge about the body and internal structure of a specimen. They allow for humans to discover homology between them and other animals such as frogs. Dissections cornerstone be performed live or virtually and to me live dissections are domineering because they allow for a more in depth and hands on examin ation. Thus leading to a better understanding of the specimen.

Approaches to Psychology Essay

The psychoanalytic approach was started and developed mainly in atomic number 63 between 1900 and 1939 by Sigmund Freud, a Viennese doctor who specialized in neurology. As a doctor, he became interested in the field of violence the manifestation of physical symptoms with come forth physical causes and became convinced that unconscious rational causes were responsible, and could be responsible for in all mental disorders and even our personality.He created the theory of personality, and ground his ideas upon intensive quality studies of a considerable range of patients, especially his infamous weigh on Little Hans, a young boy who Freud carried out psychoanalysis upon. Bowlby (1946) applied Freuds theories when he used psychoanalysis on a large group of youngsterren with various ages on a study of habitual delinquency. The central emphasis is on dynamic, biological processes especially those victorious place in the unconscious mind, and involves the idea of psychic determini sm, i.e. Freudian slips. Freud verbalize that we all cast off instinctual drives wishes, desires, needs, or demands, which are isolated and suppressed from the consciousness because society disapproves of their open expression. Freud proposes three main components of the mind the id, the ego and the superego. The id operates on the pleasure principle and its goal is immediate gratification and reduction of tension caused by irrational impulses. The ego operates on the reality principle, and controls the id in its response with the world.The superego operates on the idealisation principle, with norms and values of society being internalised. According to this approach, we all undergo psychosexual stages spontaneous, anal, phallic, latency and genital which gradually motivate the mortal to focus on the libido, and can be linked with the Oedipus complex. The libido is described as psychic energy behind primary drives of hunger, aggression, sex and irrational impulses. repai r at some(prenominal) of these stages can lead to demeanor in our due date reflecting earlier stages of our childhood, which are caused by unresolved conflicts.For example, fixation at the oral stage can cause adult behaviour that is centred on the emit (eating, smoking, etc. ) The purpose of psychoanalysis was as a therapy to treat mental disorder by means of treating the unconscious mind. The methods that Freud used for investigating the stupefaction were by means of case studies, and deep analysis and interpretation. Free connector involves the uninhibited expression of thought association, no matter how bizarre or embarrassing, from the client to the analyst.Dream analysis involves the analyst attempting to decode the symbols and unravel the hidden meaning (the latent content) of a dream from the dreamers taradiddle (the manifest content). Freud used his theory to explain a number of topics. He explained that the development of personality came from fixations or defence m echanisms, and that aggression was caused by hydraulic drives and displacement. Abnormality was seen as the consequence of ahead of time traumas and repression, which subsequently could impair our chaste and gender development, the latter being the result of the Oedipus complex.The psychoanalytic approach has been greatly influential within psychological science, in areas such as psychotherapy and developmental theories, and also beyond in art, literature and other sciences, some light speed years since Freud first developed his ideas. His theory has had some experimental realize in certain areas, such as repression and fixation. Freud introduced the world to the concept of the unconscious, and regarded his case studies like Little Hans and Anna O as firm empirical take over for his theory.He thought his belief in determinism and detailed collection of information were scientific, yet many psychologists today argue that his theories and ideas are too biological, that is that t hey avow too much on the influence of rudimentary instincts and physical drives. to the highest degree of Freuds ideas and concepts came from only a handful of results on the study of children. Freud could have allowed his own prejudices to shape his analysis, leading to no objective measures. His close interventions and feedback to the childs family could have changed the childs behaviour and that of its family.Psychoanalysis lacks unrelenting empirical support, especially regarding normal development, and leads to reductionism, i. e. it reduces human activity to a basic set of structures, which cant account for behaviour. Freuds ideas have been criminate of being irrefutable, and are therefore theoretically unscientific. Another approach to psychological science is the behaviourist approach, which concentrates on the theory of learning and behavioural therapy, and tries to explain behaviour in terms of its relation to environmental events (stimuli), rather than any intrinsic factors.The view that behaviour should be the sole subject matter of psychology was first advanced by the American psychologist John B. Watson in the early 1900s. His position came to be called behaviourism. He believed that psychologists could not afford to speculate upon the unperceivable inner workings of the mind, since they are too private to be canvas scientifically. For the behaviourist, much of their research focuses on objectively observable behaviour, rather than any internal process. The approach proposes that behaviour is radical, and that it is caused and maintained in this way.

How democratic is the UK Essay

It can be argued that Britain is both democratic and tyrannic this can be shown via a range of issues relating to British politics and the order of magnitude in which we live. The generall(a)y accepted comment of a country is a form of government in which the major decisions of government and the selection of form _or_ constitution of government behind these decisions rests directly or validatoryly on the freely presumption consent of the freely given consent of the freely absolute majority of the adults government. in that respect be two forms of country yet the UK is run through and through an indirect or vocalization democracy as opposed to a direct democracy, which relies on referendums and would be difficult in a medium-large, modern society. moreover, the UK is a parliamentary democracy, the government and representatives be intermingled meaning that the UK does not hurl musical interval of powers, meaning that the executive, legislative and judicial courts a ll work together dissimilar the American Presidential system which could create a lack in communication. In this essay, I propose to argue both for and over against and eventually number to a conclusion whether the UK is democratic or not and give a comparison between the UK and the US in terms of democracy.There is no such thing as a perfect democracy but certain aspects are needed to make a democracy. A democracy needs a semipolitical system for choosing and replacing the government through frequent, free and fair elections in which people choose their leaders and to feed their leaders accountable for their policies and their conduct in office. Elections have to occur at regular intervals, as prescribed by law.Those in power cannot get over their terms in office without asking for the consent of the people again in an election. For elections to be free and fair, they have to be administered by a neutral, fair, and professional body that treats all political parties and candi dates equally. All parties and candidates must have the right to campaign freely, to present their proposals to the selectrs both directly and through the bargain media. A democracy also needs the active participation of the people, as citizens, in politics and civic life. To vote wisely, each citizen should listen to the views of the incompatible parties and candidates, and then make his or her own decision on whom to support. Furthermore there should be protection of human rights of all citizens and a happen of law, in which the laws and procedures apply equally to all citizens. Does the UK fulfill these four discern elements? Yes, the UK does. Therefore we can say the UK governmental system.Democracy by definition means the government by the people. That means that all the people should be able to have their say in one way or another in ever soything that affects their lives. As said previously, the UK is run through a representative democracy but there are problems with a representative democracy. translator democracy would be fine if the representatives would really make all their decisions only after consulting their constituencies. In the least, after having a clear view about the views of their constituents on a particular issue, and trying to accommodate these views as best as possible. However, a vast majority of countries that call themselves Representative Democracies are not true democracies according to the above definition.Most of them are actually just Elected Dictatorships. People can vote usually only once e actually four or five years. They do not vote on any issues. They just elect their so called representatives who then until the next elections have no obligations by law and circumstantial incentives to base their decisions on individual issues on the wishes on their electorate. They hardly ever bother to consult them on their stands on various issues. Therefore, legislative bodies comprise of such representatives can effectivel y act in a very dictatorial manner between the elections. So to meet the definition of democracy, a direct democracy must be in place, like in Switzerland.The UK is divided up into constituencies. Within these constituencies, are MPs for each political political party. The first past the post system means that the MP with closely votes (first past the post) will win power for their party in that constituency. In the UK take system, we do not vote who is our next Prime Minister. Our vote goes towarfareds the MPs for our constituency. In this sense, the idea of UK as a representative democracy is flawed as we as people are not voting for one single figure but for an MP. The reason for voting for that party may be influenced by the leader of that party but you are not voting specifically for that person.An element of Britains governmental system is that there is no written constitution. This means that, theoretically, the government is free to die any legislation as long as they ha ve the majority in parliament which could be easily achieved if the party has a large majority of seats. This means there is no safeguard for laws that can be altered or new ones that could be created. This is very undemocratic as the government therefore has too much power.The government is also in possession of other powers such as the royal prerogative that allows the prime(a) minister to go to war without consent from parliament. An example of where this was used was the Iraq war in 2005, which was heavily resented by a large majority of the public. scour though this aspect of Britains governmental system is undemocratic, parliament generally prevents government from taking to much power.

In the poem it says He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled (A Soldier 1). Therefore, Frost uses personification to compare a soldier to a lance.Second, Frost uses fiction to compare our knowledge of what happened to just being manpower.

Like , we see the soldiers death as insignificant. We only look at the big picture, and what person else did. For example If we who sight along it round the world, see nothing desirable to have been its mark, it is because like men we look to near, forgetting that as fitted to the sphere (A Soldier 3-6). Although we sometimes dont understand why someones life was significant, we always have honored the brave men that have fallen for our country.Finally, Frost uses personification to give human qualities to a projectile. He does this by explaining what the missiles do. They fall, and rip the grass. Just like when a soldier is shot they fall and rip the grass. In the poem it says They make us shrivel up for metal-point on stone (A Soldier 11).

Therefore, Frost used personification to compare a soldier to a missile.In conclusion Frost uses personification and illustration to compare a soldier to a fallen lance and a missile. He also compares our carelessness to just being men. We are kept on this earth to make a difference, but we do not know what for. I believe that Frost is urging you to find your business in the world. A soldier has fallen on the battle field. We do not know why the soldier fell only that fallen soldier knew why. This is similar to the theme, we are on this planet for a reason, and it is up to us to find out why that is. Therefore, Frost unites personification and fable to help urge us find out our reason to be on this planet.

Cameron Auto Parts Essay

Cameron political machine separate was founded in 1965 in Canada by the Cameron family to buy up opportunities created by the railcar Pact (APTA) of 1965 between the United States and Canada. The APTA allowed for tariff-free trade between the outstanding Three Ameri stern automakers and part suppliers and factories in both countries. The unitary caveat in the APTA to qualify for the zero-tariff trade was that companies must maintain fictionalisation facilities on both sides of the border. Cameron Auto separate specifically manufactured reli adequate equipment sepa swan (OEM) such as small engine parts and accessories base upon design specs created by the Auto manufacturers and then sold these parts to the auto makers.Alex Cameron took the reins in 2001 and was immediately faced with a fiscal crisis. gross gross sales in 2000 had dropped to $48 million and were only $18 million for the number 1 six months of 2001. Cameron lost $2.5 million in 2000 and the same amount in t he first six months of 2001. This diminution was primarily due to declining auto sales of Ameri behind cars and trucks and the increased presence of Japanese automakers. Market get outs were driving the American starchys to find ways to vitiated bes and modernize proves. Cameron used $10 million of its $12 million credit line to re frame back into the firm by modernizing equipment and computer-assisted design and manufacturing systems.However, Cameron did not pass water its own design applied science team and relied on specs from the Big Three automakers for its returns. This left Alex Cameron with an vile feeling that expansion into point of intersection design was essential for the long-term pick of the firm. In mid-2001, Cameron took the steps necessary to design and develop its own parts line. Cameron hired four design engineers and, by 2003, came up with a plastic coupling idea that would entice international buyers and not just the Big Three automakers.Cameron wa s then faced with the dilemma of how to market and sell the product. communicate sales of the new product in 2004 were between $35 and $40 million which was terrific but they werent sure they had the capacity to delay the production. They motiveed to decide if it was better to expandcurrent facilities, buy/ take a shit a new facility, or licence the fabrication of the product to immaterial companies. While on a vacation trip to Scotland, Alex went to check in on a local customer, McTaggart Supplies, Ltd, who convinced him that the flexible coupling product was in high demand in the U.K. and that more production was necessary to keep up with the demand. Alex decided at that meeting that Cameron would exclusively license the production of the flexible coupling to McTaggart in order to get ahead a stronger foothold in the U.K. for relatively little up-front investment.1. Should Cameron ease up licensed McTaggart or continued to export? Cameron Auto Parts should license to McTag gart in the UK. It was unrivalled of Camerons key goals to penetrate foreign markets and the licensing agreement with McTaggart would be a swift way to begin executing this profession strategy. McTaggart was in a superior position to penetrate the U.K. market due to a devout cultural ensureing and close proximity to potential clients. Once this business arrangement was proven successful, Cameron Auto Parts would be able to conformity similar agreements with former(a) companies and expand to other foreign markets. McTaggart is an excellent licen envision, as they ar a repu elude smart set in the U.K. with excellent credit, cost saving manufacturing practices, bang-up market contacts, and 130 years of service in the business. They atomic number 18 as tumesce as assuming approximately of the financial luck by paying Cameron Auto Parts the startup costs as tumesce as a voice of sales.Embarking on a licensing strategy would give carewise eliminate the prohibitive cost of developing and maintaining a sales force in a foreign country that give carely wouldnt complete as well as a local phoner like McTaggart since customers had cultural ties and existing relationships with them. Additionally, orders can be filled more speedily as the product would be made locally reducing ecstasy costs and travel time. It was also a good decision for administrative and economic distance reasons. Since the product would be produced in the UK, it would not be subjected to excess cost of import duty, freight, insurance, or the order added tax.This would allow for the product to be sold at a more attractive price. Lastly, the value of the dollar fell during the original quintette year contract and the percentage of sales in pounds produced a high dollar income for Cameron without changing the price of the products sold. The disadvantages of continuing to export are loss ofprofits due to deportation costs, currency values, taxes and tariffs. The five year contrac t allows Cameron to evaluate the effectiveness of the licensing strategy and determine whether this is a profitable venture for the beau monde.2. Was Mc Taggart a good choice for licensee?Yes, McTaggart was a good choice as a licensee. They declare all the tools necessary to successfully produce and sell the flexible couplings. McTaggart was already familiar with the product and had bought over U.S. $4,000 in the first four months in 2004. They had been able to sell the product as fast as it could be shipped and built a solid working relationship with Cameron as well as good credit. McTaggart has production experience that Cameron may benefit from and meaning(a) room to increase production capacity. They have a solid personality with great financial standing, excellent credit, and a capable sales module to market and sell the product. They have manufacturing capacity and are forgeting to invest and develop the manufacturing capability to efficiently produce the flexible co uplings. In addition, they have established a client base.3. Was the royal house rate reasonable?A royalty rate is the money that must be paid to the proprietor of products (the licensor) from a buyer (the licensee). The amount of royalty fee is considered the fee for acquiring a patent or a copyright. In most businesses, a royalty fee applies when two or more companies have licensing agreements or sell the products in foreign countries. i In U.K., the normal rate of the royalty for licensing is around one and a fractional cent on for each one sale. However, Cameron Auto Parts was asking three per cent of sales from McTaggart. Although it was dropped squander to 2 percent with a 5 year contract afterwards negotiations, it is still high than the normal rate. This seems reasonable as Mc Taggart go away save a considerable amount of importation expense and will be able to sell the products at a lower rate than they can by importing. Cameron will have established an ongoing roy alty income without incurring the overhead cost of production and sales expense.Cameron Auto Parts asks a higher royalty rate than normal rate because the company helps McTaggart choose equipment and set asides training of operationand production. Although McTaggart would like to pay these services separately, Cameron Auto Parts points out the benefits of getting services to keep higher royalty rate. With this five-year agreement, the royalty rate of two per cent is ensured in the first five years, but it will be down to one and a half per cent when the techniques of choosing equipment and operation have been acquired by McTaggart after five years.In conclusion, the royalty rate is reasonable for both parties involved. Cameron Auto Parts was able to enter the U.K. market expeditiously through McTaggarts sales force, cut down on lead-times, save on duties, freight, and insurance and not be subject to currency fluctuations. McTaggart was able to sell a product already in demand, obt ain training, focus on increasing sales and gain valuable insight into Camerons manufacturing process. Both companies would benefit from the share friendship they could provide each other, thus make the licensing agreement valuable for e rattlingone involved.4. What almost the alternatives to licensing?The alternative to licensing would be to continue production and sell directly to McTaggart and other customers. This would involve dedicating a certain amount of production floor piazza to a market that is culturally and geographically distant and unpredictable. there is risk involved as the production space ties up cash lessen and is not certain to produce profit. Travel expense would be incurred as company representatives would have to travel often to the U.K. in order to make up issues or sell products. The sales side expense would be higher as well.More sales people would have to be apply to serve that region. They would either have to travel often or be establish there a nd paid in pounds, which are currently stronger than the dollar. sort of of receiving a check from one contact that represents all sales for the alone area, Cameron would have to maintain relationships with various customers, which requires personalized attention to each and exposes him to having to commit collections and write off bad debt.Since unit production costs were estimated to decline 20% as annual sales climbed from $20 million to $ carbon million and Andy felt that the $20 millionmark was easily getable in the coming year, the continued value of exportation to Europe would have grown along with the European market. Looking at the pricing index, we can see that importing to Europe results in a cost of 113 to the importer. Since Cameron Auto Parts sell the flexible couplings at the same price to home(prenominal) and foreign distributors, licensing is an effective strategy to penetrate the European market piece eliminating import and other logistical costs.Cameron Auto Parts would benefit most from a licensing agreement with McTaggart Supplies Ltd. Other options exist besides export or licensing such as a joint venture / wholly-owned subsidiary, selling through an agent, or selling through a distributor. Benefits to these strategies include reduced manufacturing cost, higher sales volume, and better market penetration and in some cases shared risk. The drawbacks to these methods include loss of price control, unpredictable sales volume, and loss of profits. ii compositors case UpdateCameron Auto Parts enjoyed rapid growth during the 2004-2005. In 2004, the company undertook a major plant expansion for $10 million, adding 200,000 square feet to the companys production capacity. Royalties from McTaggart during the first year of the licensing agreement were 20,000 this grew to and 100,000 the following year. racy overall profitability left Cameron in a strong financial position in 2006.In 2006, Cameron was presented with an opportunity to purchase a 40 percent interest in Michelard & Cie., a family-owned distributor organization in France, which would allow Cameron to break into the continental European countries. Cameron agreed to the deal for $4 million and a royalty of 4 percent on sales of all flexible couplings.The deal enraged McTaggart, who had been selling flexible couplings in Europe and would now be competing with Michelard. Partly to appease McTaggart, Cameron agreed to a proposed joint venture in Australia. McTaggart would own 60 percent of the plant and be responsible for managing the venture.According to McTaggart, local assembly in Australia could treble volume of current sales to around 10 million. An investment of 2 million could make around 400,000 a year after Australian taxes while avoiding tariffs imposed on shipping finished products. This agreement would also position the firms to benefit from Australias free trade agreement with untested Zealand. iiiCameron Auto Parts is very likely a pseudonym for Fernco, Inc., a flexible coupling manufacturer based outside of Detroit with a very similar history to that of Cameron Auto Parts. Fernco, Inc. is lead by Chris Cooper who, like Alex Cameron, took over the company from his father after graduating from Michigan business school. In addition to manufacturing facilities in Canada, the U.K., Australia and Germany, Fernco has expanded distribution to the E.U, New Zealand, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and China. ivi Valuation mental imageryRoyalty Rates and License Fees.

How to Solve Youth Unemployment Essay

One in quint young adults in Britain is unemployed, more than twice the rate for the workforce as a whole. And (temporarily, I hope) I am sensation of them. Yet I am convinced there has never been a better clock to be young. The world is bursting with opportunity every day, brand-new inventions answer questions we had never thought to ask.Its time to tackle youth unemployment in that aim as Einstein said, we asst solve problems by victimisation the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. Generation Y should occlude asking wherefore me? and become asking why not?First, we essential adopt the right mindset positive in outlook and spheric in ambition. For optimism stems, not from denying change, hardly from recognizing the possibilities it presents. The job-for-life has gone unless so has the tire nearness of c atomic number 18r monogamy. International competition has intensified but also undefended up new opportunities abroad.Woolworths, Borders and Comet wont be hiring again but if Amazon brought them deplete, simultaneously it is enabling sole traders and aspiring authors to reach a wider audience than ever before.So lets forget misplaced nostalgia and address the heart of the problem. Youth unemployment has been rising for a decade the financial crisis fuckingt stop all the blame, but it can con us to challenge easy assumptions. Education is getting better but by indiscriminately awarding top grades, argonnt exam boards entirely aping credit ratings agencies?Everyone must go to university but since housing crashed when supply exceeded demand, are we surprised the same happened with graduates?Studying is always a good investing yet if excessive leverage can bring down banks and nonetheless governments, should students continue amassing record debts with only wishful thinking as verificatory?Education domesticise should be a priority. At university level, online courses potentially change students to better align the ir programme with their interests and circumstances. They provide welcome competition to conventional institutions lets support them. A DIY approach to study is two increasingly possible and often necessary indeed, many of the best coders are self-taught. We should sponsor entrepreneurship as PayPal co-founder, Peter Thiel, has done with his 20 Under 20 initiative, encouraging smart youngsters to believe in themselves and not to fear failure. And we should send packing the snobbery objective-world experience such as travel or volunteering can yield greater benefits than the narrow, rigid and costly undergraduate degree to which we erroneously still attach totemic significance.The school curriculum, too, needs to offer courses with real furrow value to help school leavers find work. It is hardly dumbing down if it engages pupils and better equips them for adulthood. Employers have a far greater role to play. They straightaway expect to train and re-train mountain continuously there were no android developers 10 years ago so why not start younger? Instead of complaining that new hires arrive ill-prepared, companies should connect with them to begin with by providing mentors and apprenticeships, building on the concept of the talent incubator. It go forth improve their business and give young populate a comprehend of responsibility and purpose not to mention more routes into the workplace.Third, lets encourage mentoring more widely. A few years ago I worked with a Princes Trust pilot programme which stationed mentors in some of the countrys most deprived areas. We reached out to young people who often had no one else to help them write a CV, curb for training or prepare for an interview. I saw how reassurance and motivation can do wonders for their mindset and morale, and hence their employability. Companies, community groups, Service veterans, and individual volunteers (thats you and me) should all get involved. For underprivileged youngsters in procedureicular, a good mentor represents both an anchor and a sail.Fourth, we should focus our energies where the problem is most acute, in the communities where the rising tide that typically lifts all boats merely hides the wrecks. No one is more desperate than children of workless families without soul to look up to, their odds of determination gainful employment are far worse than four-in-five. Where we can reform the benefits system to further incentivize work, where we can more constructively help people re-train, we should do so but it requires human input too. We who have been successful good job, good education, loving family should return the favour. It is not enough to say, I pay my taxes.Civic society cannot flourish on gold whole it needs love. An introduction, a reference, a receptive ear it neednt take much to give someone a leg up in life. It has become contentious to say, we are in it together. But we are certainly stronger together.Finally, we should remov e barriers to job creation. Employers National Insurance increases the cost of employing someone if we want to boost employment, there mustbe smarter ways to raise revenue than by taxing jobs. We should also look again at well-intentioned lying-in laws that protect incumbent workers but often hinder businesses from responding to change and hiring new talent. It is not clear that this makes staff any safer not at ecumenical Motors, Hostess Brands or Scandinavian Airlines but it does help to explain why joblessness remains highest among the young.Youth unemployment has deep roots. Combating it requires us to challenge conventional learning by removing, where possible, disincentives to hire and to work by reforming schools and universities by ramping up apprenticeships and mentoring. Teachers and parents, business leaders and policy makers all have a crucial part to play. It will not be easy the march of progress imaginative destruction, in Schumpeters phrase is not without its casualties. Yet creative thinking is what we youngsters do best. Our fresh, radical and positive minds must seize the initiative, continually re-imagining the future day amid the whirlwind of the present. We need leaders. Theres a job for the young, right away.

Advantages and Disadvantage of technology

Technology changes and improvements soak up been applied in all in all sectors of the economy as well as the arms of the government. Many employees and employers and the society in ecumenic embrace technology in varied perspective depending on the clashing it will cause on their lives.The constabulary department as some other sector has also been embracing technological changes to be open to deal well with the increasing cases of crimes. Generally, any technology will both have a positive or negative impact on all stakeholders.The recent technology that the police have continuously employ is the use of vex guns and patrol machine video oversight to assume evil activities and provide protection to the citizens.Use of the immobilise guns.Stun guns be weapons that are aimed at disabling a victim temporarily by delivering high voltage electric shock. on that point are various means in which the stun gun is use to a victim. The aim of the stun gun to invalid a victim bu t some state have end up organismness killed by the employ of guns.Tasers are a fibre of stun gun now universe used by the police in the United States Tasers are designed to incapacitate by conducting 50,000 volts of electricity into your body. The electrical pulses induce skeletal muscles spasms that immobilize and incapacitate, ca utilize you to collapse to the reason, (Indyhack 2007).According to Eliot, more than 150 deal have died in the US because of being struck by tasers since January 2001, and 61 in 2005. Most of the death victims died because of being subjected to multiple or prolonged shock. The police have been drawing the tasers so quickly even in cases that the use of such extreme world power is non necessary. For instance,Deputies fired Tasers at a teenager who ran after not paying $1 bus fare, a 71 year who refused to fall into a police car, and partially deaf man who could not control deputies ordering him to stopAbout three out of four of those shock b y Seattle police were unarmed, (Indyhack 2007).Apart form the abuse of the Tasser weapons by the police, the use of the Tasser stick out have side effect on the victim, in the long run. There is no any scientific proven research d single to lull fears about the electrocuting of human beings by use of the gadget.Taser only relies on two studies. The studies were done by company paid researchers on a atomic number 53 pig in 1996, and on 5 dogs in 1999, (Indyhack 2007). Because of lack of scientific research, health hazards cannot be ruled out.Despite these problems associated with the use of the stun gun police, have vehemently defended the weapon use. They argue that the weapon can be used rather than police handguns especially on victims who are armed with different weapons other than guns, or on victims who are mentally sick. In this case, many lives will be saved because of the use of the less lethal weapons.Patrol car video surveillanceMany nation because of the fact that it has played a big determination in preventing crime have welcomed the video surveillance technology. This remains is one of the technologies that have quite well used to control criminal activities in most cities, homes, business building and public places.It has been widely accepted by many people that the surveillance system has highly reduced the cases of criminal activities, Instead of being perceived as an Orwellian intrusion, the cameras in Britain proved to be extremely popular. They were hailed as the peoples technology, a cozy eye in the sky, not Big Brother at all but kindly and watchful uncle or aunt, (Arroyo, 2002).The problem with using the surveillance is when it is combined with other technologies such as biometric facial recognition, thermal sensing, infrared, and other that greatly enhanced human visual capabilities (Arroyo 2002).If this system is used in line with the audio recording, the system will violate rubric 1 of the Electronic Communications Act. Thi s is because the combination of the surveillance style and audio recording without a persons knowledge is violating the persons privacy. This is especially a big problem if the police use the systems without being controlled, as they infringe on many rights of the people.The other problem that is associated with this system is that it also implicates on peoples free tender breeding. The monitoring of peoples movement in the society implies that a person will not be a free man in his own society, as someone somewhere is watching his movements. This system gatherms to undermine the peoples way of life as well as compromising it.Therefore, despite the fact that the surveillance might reduce many cases of criminal activities as some people argue, it at the same time causes destruction to the way of living of people and inducing the to conformity as one is not sure whether he is being watched or not.Those who argue for the use of the surveillance system, they do see that the issue of security has become more important than only the social part of life. Hence arguing for the continued use of the system.ConclusionBoth use of the stun gun and the surveillance machine can be of much estimable to the society only if they are applied in the correct elbow room that does not in any way infringe on a persons rights. Or else, as much as they are being applied as now, they have left many peoples rights abused.
