Proxy voting

Proxy Voting refers to the process by which one person or entity votes on behalf of another. Since the majority of shareholders do not attend the annual and special meetings at which voting occurs, corporations provide shareholders with the option to cast a proxy vote. Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“DSA”) votes on behalf of its clients in matters of corporate governance through the proxy voting process, with a focus on the investment implications of each issue. DSA has established proxy voting guidelines in order to serve the interests of all of its shareholders. The firm’s Proxy Oversight Group oversees voting policies and deals with potential conflicts of interest that may arise during the voting process. DSA’s portfolio analysts review proxy proposals on a case-by-case basis and vote in accordance with the firm’s Proxy Voting Guiding Principles. Recommendations on how to vote proxy proposals are sent from the analyst to a member of the Compliance Department, who acts as a liaison between DSA and the proxy administrators. Detailed instructions on how to vote proposals are sent electronically to the proxy administrator, who also electronically votes DSA shares within a specified timeframe established by the corporation that originated the voting instructions.…

The Vietnam War was a changing point in American history. Causing high tensions between the US and the Communists parties around the globe, the Vietnam War was another way people were effected by conflict. The Communist conflict in Vietnam effected soldiers and even the people back in the United States. There were rallies against the war. People were parading in the streets of Washington DC promoting the extraction of American soldiers from a war that they believe made no sense. Some anti-war…

not tens of thousands of troops. With imprecise terminology, Tierney manipulates the information to make his premise compelling. However, upon close examination, the premise can be seen as false and a perfect example of the Hasty Generalization fallacy. Tierney’s second premise is that the US did not “win” in the Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War, and Afghanistan War. If Tierney defines winning, or victory, as the US forcing another nation to surrender unconditionally, then his premise could be…

The Vietnam was an unusual time for the Americans. It was not really agreed upon by all the citizens to go to war with Vietnam. Not all the people agreed with all the decisions whether it is the tactics that were used or all the deaths that occurred. As Young points out in her article, she talks about how terrible the conditions were and its after effects that it has had on those that served (515). She also discusses how it is hard to imagine what happened. It might be due to the fact of…

I enjoyed hearing Lt. Benner’s recollections of his time in the Vietnam War. It was very insightful to hear about what he experienced. Having had a mother who was around college age at the height to the war I have heard stories of the horrors on the war. Mainly of the damaging effects it had on the mental health. Hearing Lt. Benner speak was a change of pace of what I had become accustomed to. When I think of Vietnam I think of extreme violence and cruelty. The media displays the war as a…

The quote is saying by not going out and experiencing something, then most…

When diplomacy fails, war steps forward. Tensions may escalate dramatically to war until diplomacy works again. Since war is another political instrument, political outcomes should be the motive for the powerful military states to wage, escalate and terminate wars. But sometimes, and despite its military power, these states struggle to reach its political outcomes due to many factors that stand in the way of achieving political outcomes smoothly. For instance, military power restrictions and…

Women and men’s roles in society varied greatly during the Vietnam War. While women avoided the draft, protected from its brutality and tragedies, men were forced from their homes to serve in the ambiguous battles. In O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, women are portrayed as apathetic towards these soldiers. They are the homebound sex, not aware of the world outside their own. On the other hand, men are those who carry the weight of the world, submerged in the pain and politics of war. There…
