Pros And Cons Of Equitably Fair And Cost Effective System

Decent Essays
Alice, Great question, I think that to create a system that would prove to be both equitably fair and cost effective at the same time it is essential that it be regulated at the state level. The system needs to be able to compensate those individuals who have suffered damages in a matter specific to their current financial situation, as well as the current economic situation of their area, which I feel could only be accomplished at the state level. I do however, feel that states should have an open line of communication with one another as our country does with the United Nations, rather than have the federal government come in and make decisions for the states as a parent would with two children who can’t seem to get along.

    I thought that the 3/5ths compromise was a fair solution to the dilemma that surrounded how we should count slaves. This is because although slaves are people, they are also property. They work for their masters, and they could be sold from person to person. But because they can think and aren’t irrational animals, they should be also considered as people. Although it wasn’t completely fair to the slaves and states, it was fair and necessary to make sure the Southern states had supported the Constitution.…

    Should powers like these rest in the hands of the federal government or does it belong to the states? According to Larson, “fearing consolidation at the hands of distant elites, or jealous of local advantages, most congressmen refused to vest that authority [for a national system of internal improvements] in the president or any other agents who might injure their interests at home.” (384) Adam only feeds into this fear of a strong federal…

    What the author is trying to convey to us readers in the quote from paragraph 7 can be broken down into two parts. First, "When leaders attempt to navigate the slippery slope of fairness, they will find themselves arbiter of public opinion," in this portion of the quote the author is expressing how, when a leader attempts to attain the goal of fairness in their dominion of the workforce, they will find themselves on a very precarious path in which they cannot ever truly prevail from. They then will find all of the "problems" of the unfairness of their subordinates being brought to them, and being expected to give them an answer that is not only in their favor, but also totally out of place in the work place. Secondly, the passage says, "and…

    For residents living in Washington D.C it is a question of fairness. Residents serve in the military, sit on juries, and pay federal taxes just like everyone else.

    The state California is seen as a glamorous and liberal in the eyes of many Americans and many see that state as very progressive in comparison to the other states. The truth is that California has a long list of struggles and complications that lies on its surface and that the state as a whole is often misrepresented by the media. The state is very diverse demographically and the cities and towns can range from rural suburbia to booming metropolises. Major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco are most likely to vote Democrat and they always tend to swing the state’s political affiliation in presidential elections. But there are many rural areas and suburban towns that are very conservative and they have a great tendency to vote republican.…

    Many people have different viewpoints on what fairness is. My viewpoint on fairness is the treatment or behavior without favoritism or discrimination.

    The State government runs the state that it is in and they are a higher level of government than the local level, which controls whatever city of county that they are in. One of the State government’s roles is to promote the state’s economy and take control over a lot of the government programs, such as risk and social management programs (Norman, 2008). Also just like how the Federal government controls the State government, the State government controls and watches over the the Local government’s of the State’s counties and cities. Another added power that the states have is that the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution states that any and all powers that aren’t under the Federal government’s control is then reserved to later be put under the states and it’s people. All state governments are complex and exact duplicates of the federal government and are made up of three different branches of government; executive, legislative, and judicial.…

Transfer prices are recorded at market prices therefore divisional performance is likely to represent the real economic contribution of the division to total company profits.
