Most people associate the term diversity with the word cultural, but diversity is not just cultural. Many other characteristics such as values, beliefs, economic level, race, ethnicity, age, disabilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, lifestyle choices, marital status, education, political affiliation etc. are also involved. Diversity is not a simple matter, yet it is not difficult to deal with, if you are fair to people and keep an open mind. When you look closely at, and think about, diversity, it provides wonderful opportunities because people from varying groups bring with them special knowledge, experience and value. Even though people have differences, they have many traits in common.

2) Fourteen years ago, the U.S. Aluminum Corporation borrowed $6.5 million. Since then, cumulative inflation has been 98 percent (a compound rate of approximately 65 percent per year). a. When the firm repays the original $6.5 million loan this year, what will be the effective purchasing power of the $6.5 million? (Hint: Divide the loan amount by one plus cumulative inflation.) b. To maintain the original $6.5 million purchasing power, how much should the lender be repaid? (Hint: Multiply the loan amount by one plus cumulative inflation.) c. If the lender knows he will receive $6.5 million in payment after 14 years, how might he be compensated for the loss in purchasing power? A descriptive answer is acceptable. |
3)Tobacco Company of America is a very stable billion-dollar company with sales growth of about 5 percent per year in good or bad economic conditions. Because of this stability (a correlation coefficient with the economy of +.3 and a standard deviation of sales of about 5 percent from the mean), Mr. Weed, the vice-president of finance, thinks the company could absorb some small risky company that could add quite a bit of return without increasing the company’s risk very much. He is trying to decide which of the two companies he will buy. Tobacco Company of America’s cost of capital is 10 percent.

The discussion board question for this week is ethical relativism correct. To understand the question, you first must know what definition of ethical relativism. According to dictionary.com, "Ethical relativism is the belief that nothing is objectively right or wrong and that the definition of right or wrong depends on the prevailing view of a particular individual, culture, or historical period". An example of ethical relativism would be homosexuality. Many countries are against homosexuality and there are countries that support them. The United States of America are one of the many countries that continue to create strides for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Community (LGBT). Uganda is one of the many countries that are against homosexuality. They have an Anti-Homosexuality Act, which was signed in 2014 that will grant you with life in prison or the death penalty
The United States has begun to grant rights to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community in 2003 after the United States Supreme Court ruling in Lawrence v. Texas. Back in 1973 Texas had a law that homosexual contact was a criminal act. The police were sent to the home of Mr. Lawrence to responds to a call about weapons. When the police entered the home, they caught Mr. Lawrence and another man in a sexual act. This court ruling found that same sex sodomy is a violation of right to privacy. This day has become the foundation of many LGBT right to come. On June 26, 2015 same sex marriage was established in all fifty states.
Uganda is one of the many countries in Africa that does not believe in Homosexuality rights. The country of Uganda has signed an Anti-Homosexuality act in 2014 with strict punishments if caught or accused of homosexual acts. These countries ethical relativism toward homosexuality is totally different than what the United States of America has. Uganda ethical relativism towards this issue is that homosexuality is wrong and has no place in their country. Some of the penalties of getting caught is life in jail or the death penalty. Which is the main reason behind many of the people fleeing the country due to this act in Kenya where being a part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Community is more acceptable.
I believe ethical relativism is correct There are multiple countries with different ways of living. Some countries believe in polygamy and other countries believe that it is wrong. We may live on the same earth, but we do not live under the same rules. In Nigeria the age of sexual consent is eleven and in the state of Virginia the age of consent is eighteen. According to girlsnotbrides.org forty-four percent of the young women are married before eighteen and seventeen percent married before fifth-teen.
It is very easy to understand why some of my classmates may choose the ethical relativism is incorrect. A person's culture plays a large part in ethical relativism, but there are many things that are wrong even though they are culture norms. Such as in the sexual consent age in Nigeria. In my eyes at the age of eleven I do not believe a child can give consent.
