Min has many different traits in A Single Shared such as being a perfectionist, or being mad. The story clearly states how Min was angry and always mean in the beginning of the story. Then at the end of the story min was caring, mindful, and nice to Tree-ear. Throughout A Single Shared Min had many emotions and Traits which were stated in the story.…
In the essay “Why Abortion is Immoral,” philosopher Don Marquis uses utilitarian principles to argue that “abortion is, except in rare cases, seriously immoral… [and] in the same category as killing an innocent human being” (223). However, he deliberately avoids relating his thesis to abortion in the specific contexts of rape, maternal death, and severe postpartum health complications. Thus, in my analysis of his claim, I plan on adopting Marquis’ utilitarian perspective to evaluate the permissibility of abortion in regard to these delicate scenarios. I will begin my paper by giving a brief summary of “Why Abortion is Immoral.”…
Although the movie El Topo is widely viewed as a cinema classic within the film industry and by movie critics it still lacks any name recognition on the mainstream, and has almost zero appeal to the modern mainstream audiences. However, despite the challenges of a rerelease of El Topo it still has the potential to make a profit in its rerelease. Due to the popularity of many of its advocates most notable of which is John Lennon, and its strong cult following are the film possesses a very vocal fan base. In order to gain the most traction with El Topo’s rerelease both its lack of name recognition in the mainstream and its critical acclaim and vocal fan base should be taken full advantage of. Used together they will generate more profit from this film in the next two years…
Total Utility: The amount of satisfaction gained from consuming something. Marginal Utility: The amount of satisfaction gained from consuming one more unit of something. After it reaches zero, it starts to negatively affect total utility, Diminishing Marginal Utility: The usefulness (or utility) of a good or service declines as one has more of it. For example: if one has a single pair of khaki slacks, the pair will be worn every day. If one has eight pairs of khaki slacks, then each pair is slightly less useful, but still serve a purpose: there is a pair for every day, and an extra just in case.…
Employees should always aspire to be in a more inelastic labor supply curve, because it allows them more freedom and more security. There are several factors an employee can improve to reach a more inelastic labor supply curve. The three main factors are mind, body, and spirit. Miranda is going to college to improve her mind, which will qualify her for a higher paying job that involves more freedom. One can also improve their body in order to become more qualified to be an athlete of some kind.…
People miss out on the opportunity to show their gratitude to people while they have the chance and as a result they are filled with regrets. Once they realize that they should’ve shown their gratitude it is much too late. Regret is the feeling of sadness or guilt. People care more after you pass away because regret is stronger than gratitude. Regret doesn’t change the past but it changed people’s attitudes.…
The Law of Few states that 80% of the work is only done by 20% of the people. Or 80% of a company’s sales come from only 20% of their customers. Law of Few is based on the idea that the ‘few’ are the Connectors, Mavens and Salesmen of any given network or company or even country. Connectors are individuals with far reaching social networks, they have the ability to maintain their networks over years and even decades, they are often successful businessmen or politicians, and play an integral role in the spread of ideas. They can get a piece of information to spread rapidly amongst their network, as the book says, much like the ride of Paul Revere.…
The Importance of the Triple Constraint In project management the primary objectives of any project should include Scope, Time, and Cost, and these three objectives are referred to as the Triple Constraint (Meredith, Mantel, and Shafer, 2014). In order for a project to be successful it is imperative that the project start off on the right footing and that the triple constraint be clearly defined. Defining the triple constraint would include spelling out the intended deliverables known as scope. Determining and selecting an appropriate deadline and completion date known as time. Calculating and allocating the appropriate budget for the project known as cost.…
Linear Programming: Toy Store In the beginning we were given a linear programming project to do for math class. Linear programming is a method to achieve the best outcome in a mathematical model. We were given an assignment in which we are the owners of a toy store and have 5 different types of toys that we make. The objective of the project is that we need to find out which 2 toy combination will make us the most profit.…
4 The Simplex Method As we have seen, a linear programming problem forms a convex polygon in the best possible scenario. It is imperative to obtain a process that would assist in determining the optimal solution without the need to examine the graphical representation. The need for an algorithm that would perform such process was essential in the early days of the formulations of linear programming problems. Although challenging, the task was accomplished by a mathematician of the twentieth century.…
Big Idea CarMax is a fortune 500 company and is the largest used-car dealerships in the United States. That being said it is everyone has heard of CarMax and has an overall idea of the product and resources they offer. The goal and objective of this digital strategy is to target larger customer base that is looking for a new vehicle. This will focus on CarMax’s name to be associated with ease and efficiency with consumers when searching for a car.…
Kant’s moral theory is based on the fact that one’s action should be governed by a maxim that follows the purity of the will; the idea that one’s actions should be based on a will that aligns with duty and not on the consequences of one’s actions. In the contrary, rule utilitarianism is based on the consequences of one’s actions and how it impacts the overall happiness of the individuals involved. The following paper focuses on the ideas of duty ethics and utilitarian ethics; and how these ideas can be implemented in the case of James Liang. Kant believes that an act is morally acceptable when such an act perfectly aligns with one’s duty. Furthermore, he believed that all rational beings are obligated by the demands of duty.…
Economists have long been interested in the way that consumers behave. One of the main determinants of the consumer behaviour is the concept of utility. Economists define utility as the satisfaction someone gains from the consumption of a good or service. A person buys a product because it provides satisfaction. The more a person buys the greater the total utility he…
Linear programming which is also known as “Linear Optimization” is a way to achieve best outcomes in a Mathematical Model using different linear solutions .Linear Programming is a special case of Mathematical Optimization .Linear programming can be applied to a wide variety of fields of study, and has proved useful in planning, routing, scheduling, assignment, and design, such as in transportation or manufacturing industries. The method of Linear Programming was originally developed by American mathematicians between 1945 and 1955 to solve problems arising in economic planning ad industries .The problems involve constraints, quantity of raw material available in the industry.…
Have you ever regretted something? What does it mean? Regret means to feel sad or disappointed over something that has happened or has been done. The meaning of regret has a different meaning to everyone. Some people only have only had it for a short period of time and others will have it for the rest of their life.…
