The violations that Natural Balance caused are the Clayton Act and Robinson-Patman Act. These acts prohibit price discrimination. Price discrimination occurs when a seller charges various prices to different buyers for “commodities of like grade and quality, with the result being reduced competition or a tendency to create a monopoly” (Twomey & Jennings, 2014, p. 83). Natural Balance’s business in Mexico is not legal and ethical, until they know if they require special licensing for exporting…

Throughout history there have been many debates about whether or not evolution and the Bible should be taught in public schools. In fact, there was once a court case, the Scopes Trial, in which many issues had arisen and were resolved about this controversy. One of the main issues discussed was a debate on evolutionism being taught in school. Clarence Darrow, an atheist lawyer, asked William Jennings Bryan, a devout and vocal politician and a Christian, a series of questions in regards to what…

The Allegory of the Cave In the Allegory of the Cave, the character Socrates states this about the people living in cave society, “To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.” (Plato, The Allegory of the Cave”) According to Plato, people accept truth as whatever they see, whatever they grow up with. This idea is very simple, but very revolutionary- and it applies to ancient and modern life. In this cave society, there is nothing known to the people…

The significance of Socrates’ enlightenment is similar to standing on the shoulders of giants and viewing an attitude about philosophy. In light of his teaching, stories such as Allegory of the Cave and Apology by Plato seem to parallel work authored by Voltaire. Voltaire’s The Good Brahmin is a metaphorical story about a Brahmin man sensing his life pursuit toward knowledge and wisdom has left him burdensome and empty. To illustrate, the Brahmin man states, “I teach others and myself am…

Hypnosis first began as mesmerism in the late 1700s. This practice has existed for centuries, but it has only recently been shown to have scientific benefits. The science behind hypnosis shows that it can reduce anxiety, stress and pain. Despite its scientific backing, many in the mainstream still do not accept hypnosis as a valid therapy. This technique is not magic or brainwashing. It uses the same trance-like state of concentration that people experience while driving or becoming deeply…

With the help from the CDC , the FDA regulates vaccines in the United States and continuously monitors their impact on public safety through the Vaccine in Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)(Meadows 2).

The origin of The Food and Drug Administration can be traced in 1848 at the Patent Office, when Lewis Caleb Beck was examining chemicals in agricultural products. Yet, The Food and Drug Administration began with the passage of the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act. Upton Sinclair, Samuel Hopkins, and the Chief Chemist of the Bureau of Chemistry in the Department of Agriculture, Harvey Washington Wiley, were able to express the needs for the act in The Jungle. This final push was exactly what was…

While industrial espionage has been part of the corporate landscape for as long as there has been corporations, modern stealing of trade secrets are more prevalent outside the borders of the United States. With most modern examples of industrial espionage being the responsibility of Chinese companies, we must take a look at an older case from 1993. In 1993, senior executives from the General Motors auto company left to join Volkswagen. This is obviously not in the best interest of General Motors…
