The Twilight Saga 2: New Moon Chapter 5 CHEATER

â€Å"BELLA, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE OFF,† MIKE SUGGESTED, his eyes focused off to the side, not really looking at me. I wondered how long that had been going on without me noticing. It was a slow afternoon at Newton's. At the moment there were only two patrons in the store, dedicated backpackers from the sound of their conversation. Mike had spent the last hour going through the pros and cons of two brands of lightweight packs with them. But they'd taken a break from serious pricing to indulge in trying to one-up each other with their latest tales from the trail. Their distraction had given Mike a chance to escape. â€Å"I don't mind staying,† I said. I still hadn't been able to sink back into my protective shell of numbness, and everything seemed oddly close and loud today, like I'd taken cotton out of my ears. I tried to tune out the laughing hikers without success. â€Å"I'm telling you,† said the thickset man with the orange beard that didn't match his dark brown hair. â€Å"I've seen grizzlies pretty close up in Yellowstone, but they had nothing on this brute.† His hair was matted, and his clothes looked like they'd been on his back for more than a few days. Fresh from the mountains. â€Å"Not a chance. Black bears don't get that big. The grizzlies you saw were probably cubs.† The second man was tall and lean, his face tanned and wind-whipped into an impressive leathery crust. â€Å"Seriously, Bella, as soon as these two give up, I'm closing the place down,† Mike murmured. â€Å"If you want me to go† I shrugged. â€Å"On all fours it was taller than you,† the bearded man insisted while I gathered my things together. â€Å"Big as a house and pitch-black. I'm going to report it to the ranger here. People ought to be warnedthis wasn't up on the mountain, mind youthis was only a few miles from the trailhead.† Leather-face laughed and rolled his eyes. â€Å"Let me guessyou were on your way in? Hadn't eaten real food or slept off the ground in a week, right?† â€Å"Hey, uh, Mike, right?† the bearded man called, looking toward us. â€Å"See you Monday,† I mumbled. â€Å"Yes, sir,† Mike replied, turning away. â€Å"Say, have there been any warnings around here recentlyabout black bears?† â€Å"No, sir. But it's always good to keep your distance and store your food correctly. Have you seen the new bear-safe canisters? They only weigh two pounds† The doors slid open to let me out into the rain. I hunched over inside my jacket as I dashed for my truck. The rain hammering against my hood sounded unusually loud, too, but soon the roar of the engine drowned out everything else. I didn't want to go back to Charlie's empty house. Last night had been particularly brutal, and I had no desire to revisit the scene of the suffering. Even after the pain had subsided enough for me to sleep, it wasn't over. Like I'd told Jessica after the movie, there was never any doubt that I would have nightmares. I always had nightmares now, every night. Not nightmares really, not in the plural, because it was always the same nightmare. You'd think I'd get bored after so many months, grow immune to it. But the dream never failed to horrify me, and only ended when I woke myself with screaming. Charlie didn't come in to see what was wrong anymore, to make sure there was no intruder strangling me or something like thathe was used to it now. My nightmare probably wouldn't even frighten someone else. Nothing jumped out and screamed, â€Å"Boo!† There were no zombies, no ghosts, no psychopaths. There was nothing, really. Only nothing. Just the endless maze of moss-covered trees, so quiet that the silence was an uncomfortable pressure against my eardrums. It was dark, like dusk on a cloudy day, with only enough light to see that there was nothing to see. I hurried through the gloom without a path, always searching, searching, searching, getting more frantic as the time stretched on, trying to move faster, though the speed made me clumsy Then there would come the point in my dreamand I could feel it coming now, but could never seem to wake myself up before it hitwhen I couldn't remember what it was that I was searching for. When I realized that there was nothing to search for, and nothing to find. That there never had been anything more than just this empty, dreary wood, and there never would be anything more for me n othing but nothing That was usually about when the screaming started. I wasn't paying attention to where I was drivingjust wandering through empty, wet side roads as I avoided the ways that would take me homebecause I didn't have anywhere to go. I wished I could feel numb again, but I couldn't remember how I'd managed it before. The nightmare was nagging at my mind and making me think about things that would cause me pain. I didn't want to remember the forest. Even as I shuddered away from the images, I felt my eyes fill with tears and the aching begin around the edges of the hole in my chest. I took one hand from the steering wheel and wrapped it around my torso to hold it in one piece. It will be as if I'd never existed. The words ran through my head, lacking the perfect clarity of my hallucination last night. They were just words, soundless, like print on a page. Just words, but they ripped the hole wide open, and I stomped on the brake, knowing I should not drive while this incapacitated. I curled over, pressing my face against the steering wheel and trying to breathe without lungs. I wondered how long this could last. Maybe someday, years from nowif the pain would just decrease to the point where I could bear itI would be able to look back on those few short months that would always be the best of my life. And, if it were possible that the pain would ever soften enough to allow me to do that, I was sure that I would feel grateful for as much time as he'd given me. More than I'd asked for, more than I'd deserved. Maybe someday I'd be able to see it that way. But what if this hole never got any better? If the raw edges never healed? If the damage was permanent and irreversible? I held myself tightly together. As if he'd never existed, I thought in despair. What a stupid and impossible promise to make! He could steal my pictures and reclaim his gifts, but that didn't put things back the way they'd been before I'd met him. The physical evidence was the most insignificant part of the equation. I was changed, my insides altered almost past the point of recognition. Even my outsides looked differentmy face sallow, white except for the purple circles the nightmares had left under my eyes. My eyes were dark enough against my pallid skin thatif I were beautiful, and seen from a distanceI might even pass for a vampire now. But I was not beautiful, and I probably looked closer to a zombie. As if he'd never existed? That was insanity. It was a promise that he could never keep, a promise that was broken as soon as he'd made it. I thumped my head against the steering wheel, trying to distract myself from the sharper pain. It made me feel silly for ever worrying about keeping my promise. Where was the logic in sticking to an agreement that had already been violated by the other party? Who cared if I was reckless and stupid? There was no reason to avoid recklessness, no reason why I shouldn't get to be stupid. I laughed humorlessly to myself, still gasping for air. Reckless in Forksnow there was a hopeless proposition. The dark humor distracted me, and the distraction eased the pain. My breath came easier, and I was able to lean back against the seat. Though it was cold today, my forehead was damp with sweat. I concentrated on my hopeless proposition to keep from sliding back into the excruciating memories. To be reckless in Forks would take a lot of creativitymaybe more than I had. But I wished I could find some way I might feel better if I weren't holding fast, all alone, to a broken pact. If I were an oath-breaker, too. But how could I cheat on my side of the deal, here in this harmless little town? Of course, Forks hadn't always been so harmless, but now it was exactly what it had always appeared to be. It was dull, it was safe. I stared out the windshield for a long moment, my thoughts moving sluggishlyI couldn't seem to make those thoughts go anywhere. I cut the engine, which was groaning in a pitiful way after idling for so long, and stepped out into the drizzle. The cold rain dripped through my hair and then trickled across my cheeks like freshwater tears. It helped to clear my head. I blinked the water from my eyes, staring blankly across the road. After a minute of staring, I recognized where I was. I'd parked in the middle of the north lane of Russell Avenue. I was standing in front of the Cheneys' housemy truck was blocking their drivewayand across the road lived the Markses. I knew I needed to move my truck, and that I ought to go home. It was wrong to wander the way I had, distracted and impaired, a menace on the roads of Forks. Besides, someone would notice me soon enough, and report me to Charlie. As I took a deep breath in preparation to move, a sign in the Markses' yard caught my eyeit was just a big piece of cardboard leaning against their mailbox post, with black letters scrawled in caps across it. Sometimes, kismet happens. Coincidence? Or was it meant to be? I didn't know, but it seemed kind of silly to think that it was somehow fated, that the dilapidated motorcycles rusting in the Markses' front yard beside the hand-printed FOR SALE, AS IS sign were serving some higher purpose by existing there, right where I needed them to be. So maybe it wasn't kismet. Maybe there were just all kinds of ways to be reckless, and I only now had my eyes open to them. Reckless and stupid. Those were Charlie's two very favorite words to apply to motorcycles. Charlie's job didn't get a lot of action compared to cops in bigger towns, but he did get called in on traffic accidents. With the long, wet stretches of freeway twisting and turning through the forest, blind corner after blind corner, there was no shortage of that kind of action. But even with all the huge log-haulers barreling around the turns, mostly people walked away. The exceptions to that rule were often on motorcycles, and Charlie had seen one too many victims, almost always kids, smeared on the highway. He'd made me promise before I was ten that I would never accept a ride on a motorcycle. Even at that age, I didn't have to think twice before promising. Who would want to ride a motorcycle here? It would be like taking a sixty-mile-per-hour bath. So many promises I kept It clicked together for me then. I wanted to be stupid and reckless, and I wanted to break promises. Why stop at one? That's as far as I thought it through. I sloshed through the rain to the Markses' front door and rang the bell. One of the Marks boys opened the door, the younger one, the freshman. I couldn't remember his name. His sandy hair only came up to my shoulder. He had no trouble remembering my name. â€Å"Bella Swan?† he asked in surprise. â€Å"How much do you want for the bike?† I panted, jerking my thumb over my shoulder toward the sales display. â€Å"Are you serious?† he demanded. â€Å"Of course I am.† â€Å"They don't work.† I sighed impatientlythis was something I'd already inferred from the sign. â€Å"How much?† â€Å"If you really want one, just take it. My mom made my dad move them down to the road so they'd get picked up with the garbage.† I glanced at the bikes again and saw that they were resting on a pile of yard clippings and dead branches. â€Å"Are you positive about that?† â€Å"Sure, you want to ask her?† It was probably better not to involve adults who might mention this to Charlie. â€Å"No, I believe you.† â€Å"You want me to help you?† he offered. â€Å"They're not light.† â€Å"Okay, thanks. I only need one, though.† â€Å"Might as well take both,† the boy said. â€Å"Maybe you could scavenge some parts.† He followed me out into the downpour and helped me load both of the heavy bikes into the back of my truck. He seemed eager to be rid of them, so I didn't argue. â€Å"What are you going to do with them, anyway?† he asked. â€Å"They haven't worked in years.† â€Å"I kind of guessed that,† I said, shrugging. My spur-of-the-moment whim hadn't come with a plan intact. â€Å"Maybe I'll take them to Dowling's.† He snorted. â€Å"Dowling would charge more to fix them than they'd be worth running.† I couldn't argue with that. John Dowling had earned a reputation for his pricing; no one went to him except in an emergency. Most people preferred to make the drive up to Port Angeles, if their car was able. I'd been very lucky on that frontI'd been worried, when Charlie first gifted me my ancient truck, that I wouldn't be able to afford to keep it running. But I'd never had a single problem with it, other than the screaming-loud engine and the fifty-five-mile-per-hour maximum speed limit. Jacob Black had kept it in great shape when it had belonged to his father, Billy Inspiration hit like a bolt of lightningnot unreasonable, considering the storm. â€Å"You know what? That's okay. I know someone who builds cars.† â€Å"Oh. That's good.† He smiled in relief. He waved as I pulled away, still smiling. Friendly kid. I drove quickly and purposefully now, in a hurry to get home before there was the slightest chance of Charlie appearing, even in the highly unlikely event that he might knock off early. I dashed through the house to the phone, keys still in hand. â€Å"Chief Swan, please,† I said when the deputy answered. â€Å"It's Bella.† â€Å"Oh, hey, Bella,† Deputy Steve said affably. â€Å"I'll go get him.† I waited. â€Å"What's wrong, Bella?† Charlie demanded as soon as he picked up the phone. â€Å"Can't I call you at work without there being an emergency?† He was quiet for a minute. â€Å"You never have before. Is there an emergency?† â€Å"No. I just wanted directions to the Blacks' placeI'm not sure I can remember the way. I want to visit Jacob. I haven't seen him in months.† When Charlie spoke again, his voice was much happier. â€Å"That's a great idea, Bells. Do you have a pen?† The directions he gave me were very simple. I assured him that I would be back for dinner, though he tried to tell me not to hurry. He wanted to join me in La Push, and I wasn't having that. So it was with a deadline that I drove too quickly through the storm-darkened streets out of town. I hoped I could get Jacob alone. Billy would probably tell on me if he knew what I was up to. While I drove, I worried a little bit about Billy's reaction to seeing me. He would be too pleased. In Billy's mind, no doubt, this had all worked out better than he had dared to hope. His pleasure and relief would only remind me of the one I couldn't bear to be reminded of. Not again today, I pleaded silently. I was spent. The Blacks' house was vaguely familiar, a small wooden place with narrow windows, the dull red paint making it resemble a tiny barn. Jacob's head peered out of the window before I could even get out of the truck. No doubt the familiar roar of the engine had tipped him off to my approach. Jacob had been very grateful when Charlie bought Billy's truck for me, saving Jacob from having to drive it when he came of age. I liked my truck very much, but Jacob seemed to consider the speed restrictions a shortcoming. He met me halfway to the house. â€Å"Bella!† His excited grin stretched wide across his face, the bright teeth standing in vivid contrast to the deep russet color of his skin. I'd never seen his hair out of its usual ponytail before. It fell like black satin curtains on either side of his broad face. Jacob had grown into some of his potential in the last eight months. He'd passed that point where the soft muscles of childhood hardened into the solid, lanky build of a teenager; the tendons and veins had become prominent under the red-brown skin of his arms, his hands. His face was still sweet like I remembered it, though it had hardened, toothe planes of his cheekbones sharper, his jaw squared off, all childish roundness gone. â€Å"Hey, Jacob!† I felt an unfamiliar surge of enthusiasm at his smile. I realized that I was pleased to see him. This knowledge surprised me. I smiled back, and something clicked silently into place, like two corresponding puzzle pieces. I'd forgotten how much I really liked Jacob Black. He stopped a few feet away from me, and I stared up at him in surprise, leaning my head back though the rain pelted my face. â€Å"You grew again!† I accused in amazement. He laughed, his smile widening impossibly. â€Å"Six five,† he announced with self-satisfaction. His voice was deeper, but it had the husky tone I remembered. â€Å"Is it ever going to stop?† I shook my head in disbelief. â€Å"You're huge.† â€Å"Still a beanpole, though.† He grimaced. â€Å"Come inside! You're getting all wet.† He led the way, twisting his hair in his big hands as he walked. He pulled a rubber band from his hip pocket and wound it around the bundle. â€Å"Hey, Dad,† he called as he ducked to get through the front door. â€Å"Look who stopped by.† Billy was in the tiny square living room, a book in his hands. He set the book in his lap and wheeled himself forward when he saw me. â€Å"Well, what do you know! It's good to see you, Bella.† We shook hands. Mine was lost in his wide grasp. â€Å"What brings you out here? Everything okay with Charlie?† â€Å"Yes, absolutely. I just wanted to see JacobI haven't seen him in forever.† Jacob's eyes brightened at my words. He was smiling so big it looked like it would hurt his cheeks. â€Å"Can you stay for dinner?† Billy was eager, too. â€Å"No, I've got to feed Charlie, you know.† â€Å"I'll call him now,† Billy suggested. â€Å"He's always invited.† I laughed to hide my discomfort. â€Å"It's not like you'll never see me again. I promise I'll be back again soonso much you'll get sick of me.† After all, if Jacob could fix the bike, someone had to teach me how to ride it. Billy chuckled in response. â€Å"Okay, maybe next time.† â€Å"So, Bella, what do you want to do?† Jacob asked. â€Å"Whatever. What were you doing before I interrupted?† I was strangely comfortable here. It was familiar, but only distantly. There were no painful reminders of the recent past. Jacob hesitated. â€Å"I was just heading out to work on my car, but we can do something else† â€Å"No, that's perfect!† I interrupted. â€Å"I'd love to see your car.† â€Å"Okay,† he said, not convinced. â€Å"It's out back, in the garage.† Even better, I thought to myself. I waved at Billy. â€Å"See you later.† A thick stand of trees and shrubbery concealed his garage from the house. The garage was no more than a couple of big preformed sheds that had been bolted together with their interior walls knocked out. Under this shelter, raised on cinder blocks, was what looked to me like a completed automobile. I recognized the symbol on the grille, at least. â€Å"What kind of Volkswagen is that?† I asked. â€Å"It's an old Rabbit1986, a classic.† â€Å"How's it going?† â€Å"Almost finished,† he said cheerfully. And then his voice dropped into a lower key. â€Å"My dad made good on his promise last spring.† â€Å"Ah,† I said. He seemed to understand my reluctance to open the subject. I tried not to remember last May at the prom. Jacob had been bribed by his father with money and car parts to deliver a message there. Billy wanted me to stay a safe distance from the most important person in my life. It turned out that his concern was, in the end, unnecessary. I was all too safe now. But I was going to see what I could do to change that. â€Å"Jacob, what do you know about motorcycles?† I asked. He shrugged. â€Å"Some. My friend Embry has a dirt bike. We work on it together sometimes. Why?† â€Å"Well† I pursed my lips as I considered. I wasn't sure if he could keep his mouth shut, but I didn't have many other options. â€Å"I recently acquired a couple of bikes, and they're not in the greatest condition. I wonder if you could get them running?† â€Å"Cool.† He seemed truly pleased by the challenge. His face glowed. â€Å"I'll give it a try.† I held up one finger in warning. â€Å"The thing is,† I explained, â€Å"Charlie doesn't approve of motorcycles. Honestly, he'd probably bust a vein in his forehead if he knew about this. So you can't tell Billy.† â€Å"Sure, sure.† Jacob smiled. â€Å"I understand.† â€Å"I'll pay you,† I continued. This offended him. â€Å"No. I want to help. You can't pay me.† â€Å"Well how about a trade, then?† I was making this up as I went, but it seemed reasonable enough. â€Å"I only need one bikeand I'll need lessons, too. So how about this? I'll give you the other bike, and then you can teach me.† â€Å"Swee-eet.† He made the word into two syllables. â€Å"Wait a secare you legal yet? When's your birthday?† â€Å"You missed it,† he teased, narrowing his eyes in mock resentment. â€Å"I'm sixteen.† â€Å"Not that your age ever stopped you before,† I muttered. â€Å"Sorry about your birthday.† â€Å"Don't worry about it. I missed yours. What are you, forty?† I sniffed. â€Å"Close.† â€Å"We'll have a joint party to make up for it.† â€Å"Sounds like a date.† His eyes sparkled at the word. I needed to reign in the enthusiasm before I gave him the wrong ideait was just that it had been a long time since I'd felt so light and buoyant. The rarity of the feeling made it more difficult to manage. â€Å"Maybe when the bikes are finishedour present to ourselves,† I added. â€Å"Deal. When will you bring them down?† I bit my lip, embarrassed. â€Å"They're in my truck now,† I admitted. â€Å"Great.† He seemed to mean it. â€Å"Will Billy see if we bring them around?† He winked at me. â€Å"We'll be sneaky.† We eased around from the east, sticking to the trees when we were in view of the windows, affecting a casual-looking stroll, just in case. Jacob unloaded the bikes swiftly from the truck bed, wheeling them one by one into the shrubbery where I hid. It looked too easy for himI'd remembered the bikes being much, much heavier than that. â€Å"These aren't half bad,† Jacob appraised as we pushed them through the cover of the trees. â€Å"This one here will actually be worth something when I'm doneit's an old Harley Sprint.† â€Å"That one's yours, then.† â€Å"Are you sure?† â€Å"Absolutely.† â€Å"These are going to take some cash, though,† he said, frowning down at the blackened metal. â€Å"We'll have to save up for parts first.† â€Å"We nothing,† I disagreed. â€Å"If you're doing this for free, I'll pay for the parts.† â€Å"I don't know† he muttered. â€Å"I've got some money saved. College fund, you know.† College, schmollege, I thought to myself. It wasn't like I'd saved up enough to go anywhere specialand besides, I had no desire to leave Forks anyway. What difference would it make if I skimmed a little bit off the top? Jacob just nodded. This all made perfect sense to him. As we skulked back to the makeshift garage, I contemplated my luck. Only a teenage boy would agree to this: deceiving both our parents while repairing dangerous vehicles using money meant for my college education. He didn't see anything wrong with that picture. Jacob was a gift from the gods.

Stereotypes Of Luke Cage - 1412 Words

Luke Cage is a Marvel-Netflix series based on the comic book hero Luke Cage. The series is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and is set in Harlem, New York. The show is about an ex-convict and fugitive named Carl Lucas, who uses the pseudonym Luke Cage after escaping prison because of an experiment gone wrong that left him with super-strength and bulletproof skin. Luke Cage is a racially and politically conscious series that challenges stereotypes and social norms in a very appropriate way. The series has a strong emphasis on several of the terms discussed in class so far, however, there is a special connection to brute, â€Å"American Dream,† explicit bias, and framing.

This character development is the core of the story, but also as objection to this ste reotype of a black man as being a brute. This is only one of the many racial stereotypes challenged by Luke Cage. Another example of a racial stereotype that Luke Cage challenges is the way a black man takes advantage of the â€Å"American Dream.† The first, and more stereotypical, approach to taking advantage of the â€Å"American Dream† would be the route taken by the antagonists, Cottonmouth and Black Mariah. These two are cousins and descendants of a Harlem crime boss, Mama Mable. Cottonmouth took the stereotypical gangster route to his â€Å"American Dream.† Cottonmouth is the owner of â€Å"Harlem’s Paradise,† a club he owns and runs as a front to his gun smuggling business. It is made clear through the story that at one point Cottonmouth has seven million dollars in cash reserves, most of which is from ill-gotten gains. Cottonmouth’s cousin, Black Mariah, is also a part of this illicit business. Mariah is a local politician with a cor rupt undertone. She aids Cottonmouth financially and helps him build his fortune.

Martin Luther Essay - 1806 Words

Martin Luther Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 - February 18, 1546) was a Christian theologian, Augustinian monk, professor, pastor, and church reformer whose teachings inspired the Lutheran Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines of Protestant and other Christian traditions. Luther began the Protestant Reformation with the publication of his Ninety-Five Theses on October 31, 1517. In this publication, he attacked the Churchs sale of indulgences. He advocated a theology that rested on Gods gracious activity in Jesus Christ, rather than in human works. Nearly all Protestants trace their history back to Luther in one way or another. Luthers relationship to philosophy is complex and should not be judged only by his famous†¦show more content†¦In Rome, cardinals saw Luthers theses as an attack on papal authority. In 1518, at a meeting of the Augustinian Order in Heidelberg, Luther set out his positions with even more precision. In the Heidelberg Disputation, we see the signs of a maturing in Luthers thought and new clarity surrounding his theological perspectiveÂâ€"the Theology of the Cross. After the Heidelberg meeting in October 1518, Luther was told to recant his positions by the Papal Legate, Thomas Cardinal Cajetan. Luther stated that he could not recant. Unless his mistakes were pointed out to him by appeals to scripture and right reason, he would not, in fact, he could not recant. Luthers refusal to recant set in motion his ultimate excommunication. Throughout 1519, Luther continued to lecture and write in Wittenberg, and in June and July of that year, he participated in another debate on Indulgences and the papacy in Leipzig. Finally, in 1520, the pope had enough, and as a result, on June 15th the pope issued a bull (Exsurge DominiÂâ€"Arise OLord) threatening Luther with excommunication. Luther received the bull on October 10th and proceeded to publicly burn it on December 10th. In January 1521, the pope excommunicated Luther.

Ethics And Religion Ethics - 1045 Words

Ethics and Religion There is definitely a connection between ethics and religions. However, the majority of religions moral responsibilities are generated by their gods; or god, they worship. In other words, religious individuals believe they must live by these set ethical rules provided by the higher power in order to be a good person. Yet, Buddhism worships no god, nor does atheist, still both can live a good life, and be a good person; with ethical standards, and without believing in a god. Ethics can be defined as â€Å"a branch of philosophy dealing with what is morally right or wrong† (Merriam-Webster, 2016). Whereas religion is defined as, â€Å"a personal set of institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices†Ã¢â‚¬ ¦show more content†¦This was one of King’s passions in life, the freedom and unity of all humans, for every man and woman to be treated equally. The injustice of how the black were being mistreated was not only illegal, but immoral, therefore affecting many of those who had been oppressed in the US. â€Å"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere† (King, 2006). Due to the continuous behavior of the white townspeople; in Birmingham, King agreed to be part of the protest in the stance for equal rights of the black townspeople. King stating â€Å"whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly† (King, 2006). Basically if the injustice by the discrimination of blacks was allowed , or tolerated, then the horrific tortures, and deaths happening would be felt for miles. A human’s life, no matter their color should never be murdered, isolated, or tortured because of their differences. Furthermore, Birmingham officials had accused the black protesters of civil disobedience, a violent intent, in addition to being untimely. Kings response to these accusations were an example of Judeo-Christian ethics, which is a mixture of Judaism and Christian beliefs. â€Å"The sense of mission is why more Americans have died for the liberty of others than any other nation’s soldiers† (Prager, 2004). In other words, King defended the accusations of civil disobedience by explaining how segregation was more of a sinful punishment, as well as a politically, and morally wrong act

Sustainable Business and Strategy for Strategic Development

Question: Discuss about theSustainable Business Planning and Strategyfor Development. Answer: Strategic Development With the advancement of emerging technology, rules and regulations change that every user of advanced technology has to follow. It has been observed that corporations, militaries and government sectors are not following the up to date procedures that can not only help to develop their internal process of business but can meet the needs and demands of community as well (Weber and Soderstrom 2012). Therefore, Friends of the Earth, one of the largest international federations of environmental organizations has decided to develop some of the major strategies that can help not only in meeting the expectation of corporations, militaries and government sectors but also can meet the needs and demands of community as well. The strategies are as follows: Corporations with the help of advanced technology can make an effective interaction the customers directly by using public forum social media tools and various online websites. People from different geographical markets cannot understand the reliability of products and services without an effective interaction. After the emergence of technology the corporations have enough scopes and opportunities to deal with the customers directly in order to meet their needs and demands. The primary purpose of military sector was maintaining safety at their workplace. Therefore, FOE can take an initiative to implement technology within the military sectors by not only maintaining their security at the workplace but tracking the entire record of battle field. Based on the updates, the community people can be made an effective awareness in order to deal with the situation properly (emergingtech.foe.org.au 2017). Therefore, without the emergence of technology community people cannot be alerted and updated about the current situation of military. FOE can enhance the use of nanotechnology that helps breakthroughs in the areas of materials and manufacturing. With the help of increasing the number of surface areas the number of surface atoms can be increased automatically. As a result, the cosmetics, food products, other house hold appliances can be packaged by using nanotechnology. As a result, customers automatically show their interest in using the products (Futurism 2017). On the other hand, emerging technology helps to develop their social strategy and policy as well. Therefore, people belonging to different geographical markets can maintain an effective community relation with each other. Technology has become a bridge between the people and corporations. Integrated Strategic Map Figure: Strategic Map (Source: Created by the author) Overall Objective: The overall objectives that FOE has aimed to focus include as follows: To critically solve the range of environmental justice issues by reducing the technological barriers To implement nanotechnology project for the rapid development of neon technology industry To emerge the advancement of technology for not only meeting the needs and demands of corporations, militaries and government sectors but also meeting the expectations of community as well. Immediate Goal: After evaluating the entire case scenario it has been observed that FOE is facing some major issues while using the emerging technology within the business corporations and other sectors. As a result, a major communication gap has been raised between the service providers and service users. However in order to reduce the gap FOE has aimed to follow some of the major steps for reaching the immediate goal (foei.org 2017). By maintaining all the technological rules and regulations every business sectors should use the technology in such a way that community people as well can get the scope to make an effective relation. Grand Strategy: Implementation of nanotechnology for developing the nano-technological industry is the grand strategy followed by FOE. With the help of using this specific technology the product packaging systems can be made scientifically. Therefore, the service providers are able to gain the trust of people. Component Strategies: Among the component strategies the primary aspects that have been evaluated primarily include social community, media, political and legal. FOE has decided to use those four aspects for making most effective component strategies for the implementation of emerging technology. Tactics to Involve Social Community: Social community plays a major role for the success of business corporations. In order to meet the needs and demands of social community FOE can implement some of the major policies on corporations. Corporations should publish their annual report every year in to provide an in-depth overview about the current market status to social community (Liu et al. 2012). On the other hand, the service providers should maintain an effective communication with the social community to gain the brand identity and image. People belonging to different geographical markets should get a constant updates about the products and service process. Therefore, the service providers have to be updated constantly. Tactics to Involve Media: In order to involve the media for using the popularity of their platform FOE can take some of the major steps. Media tools such as social media, electronic media and print media can be involved for promoting the importance of emerging technology in the mind of community people as well. As a result, customers belonging to different geographical markets can be involved and convinced on how to use technological tools (Grure 2012). At the same time, it is undeniable that without the presence of media any business organization fails to gain the trust of people. Media is the only tool with the help of which information can be multiplied from various geographical markets. Tactics to Overcome Political Issues: While implementing technological advances and its necessary strategies FOE has to face numerous political issues based on which FOE has to face challenging situations for implementing appropriate strategies. However, in order to make their plans and policies successful FOE should make a good rapport with the government to get effective political environment. Tactics to Overcome Legal Issues: In order to overcome legal issues FOE would have to follow all the regulations and acts properly regarding the technological emergence (Lan 2012). The software used by the organizations should be updated time to time. As a result, both the society and the corporation would be developed equally.

When is it Appropriate to be a Good Samaritan Essay Example For Students

When is it Appropriate to be a Good Samaritan Essay Discussion of Question Number Two Chapter ThreeOften in life, people are put in situations in which they must make a speedy ethical decision. First, I would like to look at why people feel a need to be moral. Most of us have an inborn sense or conscience, which makes it very difficult to do a wrong or, even more than that and not do what is right. It is one thing to commit a wrong. It is, however, a different thing to neglect doing a good act. Depending on the situation, the two scenarios can be equally harmful to the human conscience. We will write a custom essay on When is it Appropriate to be a Good Samaritan specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now Robert, the man who cheated on the College Examinations in the hypothetical situation, made a decision to do a wrong act. He felt that he was able to handle the guilt on his conscience. The guilt did bother him to some degree since he was seeking advice on the situation. The panel had to take Roberts wrong choices and figure out if, how and when intervention would be appropriate and ethical. Through the panel discussions, a variety of viewpoints arose. Justice Scalia felt that Robert should not gain from his wrongdoing. He stated that he should re-take the exam and hand in honest scores to Harvard. He also observed the fact that there was no individual person to pay retribution to. Who was wronged in this particular situation? The panel agreed that the exam should be retaken. The hypothetical Robert gets into more trouble as his life continues. He commits adultery with a fifteen-year-old girl. Some members of the panel believe that his wife should be told while others believe that it is not his/her place to tell his wife, Carol. I, personally, found it appalling that a panel member would not tell Carol if she were her own daughter. Instead, she would make a comment to Robert and hope that he ended the relationship. I believe that family is a very important safety net and trust must be demonstrated at all times, especially in a touchy situation like this one. From the discussion, it is possible to view the broad span of opinions. There are certain scenarios in which intervention is necessary. These determination points may vary from one individual to the next. It is often difficult to determine when and how to intervene when put into certain situations. More often than not, the decision must be made rather quickly. The Study Guide lists several situations and asks when and if I would intervene or call the police. I plan to look at each of these situations individually to this. If I heard arguing next door, I would, for the most part, not intervene. People have arguments and that occurs within healthy relationships. There is a point that I would intervene, however. If I heard any screams for help or evidence of violence or injury then I would call the police. Another fact to consider is if the quarrels are common or not. I would never intervene personally, in a situation like this, because there is no need for me to risk any harm to myself at his point. The police are trained to handle circumstances like this. Unfortunately, I have been in this situation. I did not personally intervene or call the police, but there were no weapons being used and there were many other people present. A police officer actually happened to pass by and put an end to the fight. I do not believe that physical fighting solves any problems, but I think it is more socially acceptable because it is not as life threatening as utilizing weapons. If weapons were being used, Id call the police in a heartbeat. This is because there is a human life at risk and I have the power to at least attempt the prevention of a human beings death. I believe that it would be ethically wrong fro me to ignore a situation like that by not getting immediate help. .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a , .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a .postImageUrl , .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a , .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a:hover , .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a:visited , .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a:active { border:0!important; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a:active , .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ua6eb75a13933b79acf5e9977ba150b4a:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Procrastination EssayLike before, certain details can change my opinion in each situation. Maybe the child is an imp and the mother is having trouble dealing with him/her. Does the child appear to be in pain or is he/she howling to annoy the mother even more? All these aspects cannot be ignored. If I suspect any child abuse, I would feel obligated to stop it. Since I do not know of any past occurrences, it would be hard to know for sure what is actually going on, but it is always nice to lend a helping hand to someone who needs it. Perhaps I would ask the mother if there s=is anything I can do to help her deal with the present situation. A similar discussion was implemente d in the video. A ragged man with vacant eyes wandering in the trafficWell, obviously Id try not to run him over J.The appearance of the man may also sway my decision in this scenario. Is he in need of medical attention? Does he appear to be dangerous or depressed? I may put a phone call in to the police, but I often find myself assuming that someone else will do something to help. This is a common thought with public occurrences. People pass the obligation on to other individuals. This may not be morally correct, but humans often use this as way out of moral responsibility. A woman lying face down in a hallwayI would ask if she was conscious to see if I get a response. I would definitely call an ambulance and look for other citizens that may know her or may be able to help. For some reason, I feel safer helping a woman than a man. Since I am a woman, there is less of a threat of harm. A man would be able to easily over power me and Im not sure I would be willing to take that risk. With this situation, it depends on the location of the circumstance. If I were in Manhattan, I may not do anything. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to see people passed out in the streets. I may assume he was intoxicated and move on without even thinking about it. Without a doubt, I would personally intervene. Here, there is no threat of putting myself in danger since I am dealing with a child. Hurting a helpless animal is inhumane and bothers me a great deal. I would tell the child to stop and explain that the kitten is a living thing and that it feels pain. Hopefully, the child accepts my explanation and learns from the situation. I would personally intervene in this situation. First, I would ask the woman if she was in trouble or needed help. Perhaps the dog attacked her and she was merely defending herself. Either way, I would call the police after assessing the situation. Either the dog or the woman needs to be taken away. Through the discussions and readings, it is possible to understand how the human mind works. People view situations from various sides. All the facts must be assessed before an ethical decision can be made. It is often difficult to make a sacrifice for an ethical issue, but it isworth not having a wrong on your conscious. Laws cannot be developed on ethical issues. Individuals can follow guidelines, but must also be able to make speedy ethical decisions on their own. Bibliography:

Article Three3.1 Introduction3.2 Critical analysisComparisonConclusion Related Introduction Any telecommunications and/or computer related equipment or interconnected system so sub system of equipments that is used in the acquisition , storage , manipulation , management movement , control , display , watching , switching , interchange ,   transmission or reception of voice include software form ware and hardware. (Terry Lucey 2005) MIS is one the most important system that provides information that is required to set organisation impression as par MIS consider three important sources that are technology, resource. MIS is regarded as one of the subset over all internal controls procedure in business which evaluate   application of human resource, documents, technologies procedure and supply of material and handling etc used by management account. MIS method is the best of stock method to tied the automation or support of human decision making for example decision support system experts.   1.   Article One User Perception Differences In ERP Implementations 1.1 Introduction   Business process those are managed by the ERP system will   not consider as static because in begging they   define a monitoring activity is needed during the process of information operation and improvements should be made when possible[]there implementations involves the process of customizing the most important generic package and aligning with the specific need with the enterprise.(Edie and Madison 2005) The Enterprise Resource Planning System has been develop to help most coordinate the information flow that parallel and physical flows of goods from raw material to finish goods the main purpose of ERP is studying to examine user perception differences in ERP phases and preparation and training and usefulness the main study use both qualitative and quantitative research to triangulate results this both qualitative analysis points one of the most important of all the four phases in EPR implementation the main important keyword are ERP   IT adoption , IT implementation and user perception 1.2 Critical Analysis The positive aspects of this articles generates the most important topic that is nothing but ERP implementation due to the need and adapt the enterprise to the software package rather than the other way around basically its often necessary to redesign enterprise business process the business process alignments that is adapt various envoi mental aspects such as existing information system ( Soffer et al 2003) . The ERP approach to optimize   company internal value change because basically its the software that’s fully installed across the entire company it connects the entire whole company components of the business process through logical transmission and sharing common data with frame integrated frame work .Its the software that is only essential organise codes, and standardise and enterprises business process and data these software converts transactional data so that it can analysis .The important literatures reviews hypothesis is that ERP implementation resource planning IT adoption implementation etc. However the Bad debts of ERP as the implementation of ERP system that’s leads to a series that is most critical issues at it requires global reconsideration of bossiness procedure [] the ERP system is a difficult task as its entitles a great deal of time and it result in large cost ( Quiescenti et al 2006) means the adaption of ERP in any organisation is cost worthy and it also built enterprises process re engineering process system, further more this activity could be very crucial and somehow negative for small enterprises business relies on its specific proper business process. 2.   Article Two The TQM EXTENTION: TOTAL CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANGMENT 2.1   Introduction Customer relationship management define as a cross functional process for achieving a continuous dialogue with customers as well as a cross all their contract and access point and it personalised treatment for their most valuable customers to increase customer retention as well as their effectiveness’ of   CRM always takes good view towards customer care and let them organized there self that is nothing but customer service to create and add value to the company the most important part of customer relationship management is related to their process .as said byDay and van baulte (2002) Fletcher and taplin (2001) define CRM is nothing but a set of business   process over all policies designed to capture retain the customer needs and services etc†¦the basic important aspect is customer related process inputs and out puts from customers   according to   (BLODGETT et al.. 1993)projected that the customer relativeness can be underpin by successful customer relations inc luding contact with staff ,out bonds ,customer transaction ,price ,value term. Participation from customers begins with interaction at contact get in touch to collect customers detail by their needs and wants of customer. 2.2 Critical analysis Customer relationship management over all wants customer satisfaction and has positive effect on customer loyalty intentions across wide range in all services and products (Fornell,1992) CRM always focused   on business and probably it effect on customers contentment for least following basis. Trust is the main important feature or we can say facet in the building and growth in quality relationship contentment giving and taking assurance in relation to customer loyalty, here about the importance of trust in that to gain customer honestness. ( Reichheld and schefter 2000 ) . Management responsibility element of CRM and their strategies their main premeditated change from a product focus on culture basically on customer how ever CRM business tactics information as well as their service and the every person of the company is responsible of following crm strategies. 3. Article Three Supply Chain Management 3.1 Introduction In 2008 when economy of the world is collapsed the SCM helps the organization in re building their infrastructure within the organization and it also help to cover the supply and demand in up and down stream within the organisation and its also responsible for get in time of goods which automatically increase the company efficiency and growth and CRM   these services reduce costs and supply chain as well CRM process with information with latest most powerful software experts says that ongoing boom transaction and trade is related to services .in ancient period companies kept their suppliers at aim length and even had adversarial relationship with them. 3.2 Critical analysis Supply Chain Management it’s the service that available on demand over the internet   like other cloud based business software such as (CRM) e business and accounting, tools etc   now days companies could not afford to build to there own maintain by themselveswe don’t compete as individual business anymore we compete as supply chains say martin Christopher .in the olden days companies kept their suppliers at arm length and even had adversarial relationship with them supply chain enhance the complications in the movement of goods and also make higher the lead time and increase the stocks in inventory, We don’t compete as individual business any more we compete at Supply Chain   Martin Christopher professor of marketing and logistics of Cransdield School of Management England as here it proves that supply chain services available on demand over the internet that the cloud base business software such as CRM business and accounting tools from sales force. Comparison   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   ERP   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   CRM   Ã‚  Ã‚   Supply Chain   In article one author try to discuss about the Enterprise Recourse Planning its uses and implementation in any organization if we compare ERP with the CRM and SCM it deals with handling of information with in the organization and it optimise the company internal value chain and its also help in gathering information useful for the future of enterprise. But is also support CRM and SCM. In the article of CRM the author wants to explain the relation between the organization and the customer and explain the effectiveness of CRM because increase the profitability of the company and it plays a great role in any organization for increasing the revenue and building better customer relationship. In this article author says how the good and bad supply chain could effect working of any organization and its importance plays the major role in aspect of time and profitably and supply chain is depend on the ERP an Conclusion After analysis of three articles we find that these three components of Information Technology Management   are very useful in building a good and profitable organization   ERP has a different role while CRM helps in retention of customer retention   and   increase sale service and satisfaction of the   customer and always acquiring and retaining the customer , ERP   is responsible for assessment and structure of organization and help to analysis the weakness of a company and the third articles we analyse the global economy and   multinational companies because good managing of supply chain management a growing number of manufactures and retailers are found and also help in reducing cost but making it faster and easier to share information.
