.... is rich, he either inherited it or was educated enough to make it. OJ Simpson's trial is another example of money changing everything. If OJ Simpson had not been a retired professional football player, then the trial would have been completely different. Because OJ was rich, he was able to afford a very good team of lawyers. An average person would have had much less of a chance at being found innocent, especially considering the weight of the evidence. Supported by his money OJ's case became a media event. When OJ had the trial, there was no way it could be completely fair. It was unlikely that there was not going to be a fan of OJ on the jury. Also, because h ....

"The labour movement was in the forefront of the struggles for public health care, for public education, for minimum wages, holidays and employment conditions."2 1 D. Martin, Form War To Peace, Canadian Labour Congress, Quebec, 1991, P.17 2 Notes On Unions, Canadian Labour Congress, Quebec, 1992, P.1 Union Nowadays "Unions are like businesses: their success depends upon attracting and retaining buyers (new members). Recently, one of the major problems faced by the union movement is that few Canadians understand what services unions come into public."3 The public also don't ....

.... last five years, finances have been the number one subject of most New Year's Resolutions. It used to be weight. Something is definitely amiss. These statistics have been building for years but it is no longer just the baby-boomers problem. My generation just embarked down the same ruinous path. Many students come out of school not knowing how to balance a checkbook. College is where you start learning firsthand about finances and credit because the credit companies are sending out cards by the buckets to students. Citicorp just spent ten-million marketing credit cards to high- school kids. Sixty-one percent of all college students are carrying a card, a ....

.... company launched a major restructuring in 1994 and unloaded its electrical products group. The sale of the division fetched $1.1 billion, including the assumption of debt. GTE’s long-term debt has swelled almost 5 times, to $1 billion, since 1994. This drives the Debt-to-Capital Ratio to 61%. Cash flow exceeds interest expense by a comfortable five times. Revenue growth from new and enhanced services increased 35% last year, to $1.2 billion and has grown 35% annually. GTE’s Return on Equity was 40% that far exceeds rest of its major competitors listed. The company’s boosting margins and overall returns are clearly pictured from the Net Profit Margin of 2.1%, a nice 36 ....

.... says, ”money in all its manifestations has always been the prime source of power”. Yet given the situation, not everyone attains it. A person status in society’s social ladder is determined by their wealth. In other woods, wealth determines the social class of a person. There are three social classes: the upper middles and lower class. The upper class consists of these whose income exceeds the average person’s income. It consists of those whose social and political importance can give them the same wealth available to the excessively wealthy. The middle class are those whose income is substantially lower than that of the upper class. They make enough for all t ....

.... who has had enough with all this commercializing on TV?. I know, I know. They tell us all the time on TV that sports events would be minimized, or even non-existing without commercials, but there is a limit to everything. And the limit to this has been reached. Every time tou want to have a good relaxing football match in front of the TV you see COCA-COLA and IBM and all other known brands all over the TV so that it is hard to see the atheletes because of all the billboards. I think it sucks!. Of course the advertizers should have the oppurtunity to show their colors at sports events, but if it was a little but more discrete, it would certainly ....

.... George and Sabelli in their book Faith and Credit claim that is the very structure of the World Bank which causes its failures, as well as explaining its continued existence despite these mistakes. Using Faith and Credit, with a focus on chapter six, it will be shown that it is the bureaucratic methods themselves which twist the World Bank's goals, and that these methods undermine the tasks which the Bank has set for itself. The World Bank is one of the world's most powerful agencies. Although it characterizes itself as a purely economic institution -- which controls the lending of billions of dollars -- in practice its influence, wealth, and policies all result in havi ....

.... and created a management model to suit their operations. By providing regional representatives to deal with governments, bureaucracies and coordinators of cross divisional activities, this model expects BHP to be able to find expansion opportunities. Particularly where opportunities exist that involve more than one divisional group. An example of this is BHP Power, which develops power stations using the most appropriate energy source for the circumstances. Power is an independent group, drawing on the skills of the Mining and Petroleum divisions where necessary. The company is looking at other possible new businesses, that are natural developments of the company's existi ....
