On the one hand, a Westerner such as myself could read Rose's essay regarding this perspective of the future and the land that is supposed to engender it and think is little more than a quaint tale, some outmoded way of dealing with life that has no practical application to the modern world. However, there seems to be a lot of sense in the approach that the Aborigines take regarding the world that birthed them, and which they in turn believe they must protect to create a future existence for others.
The part that I identify with the most is the aspect of living in harmony with the world, as opposed to trying to control it. In Western society, the age-old struggle has always been man attempting to assert his will over that of nature, which of course includes the world and pretty much everything else in it other than man. The Aboriginal viewpoint discussed...
Therefore, corporations have had to change their viewpoints and start looking at the long-term consequences of their behavior, as well as looking at the bottom line. Businesses also have to be concerned because consumers have also become aware of environmental concerns, and many consumers are demanding earth-friendly products and have shown a willingness to pay more money to competitors who observe environmentally-friendly practices.

However, the publicity policy mentions that business partners are denied the right to sell their own products by
For instance, the APA places a great deal of emphasis on competence. According to Kaslow et al. "Competence is a common a term in psychology today, as it is in other health professions (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, 2000). Educational programs are expected to produce competence, professional credentialing bodies are required to certify individuals as competent, policymakers laud competence, and consumers demand it (Hoge et al., 2005). As
Ethics and the Internet As the computer has evolved in the modern world, so the potential for communication has also increased. The computer, and the development of the Internet, has meant that human society has become more connected than ever before and the barriers between nations and people around the globe have been broken down. While this is a positive development in many ways, the growth of the Internet has also
Whistle-blowing can have many adverse effects on the person doing the whistle-blowing and there are definitely feelings of loneliness that can arise when a whistle-blower decides to make some noise. Cooper gives some prime examples of whistle-blowing cases in chapter six, but he insists that there are still many who have "gone away quietly" (202), which may appear to be the safest option for the individual, yet that means
