Accounting Ethics
.... market
structure in an extreme sense. The elements of monopolistic competition
are as follows: product differentiation, the presence of large numbers of
sellers, and nonprice competition. Although accounting services between
firms offer very little service differentiation, the absence of
advertising serves as a replacement because clients are not necessarily
aware that other options are easily attainable. The post-advertising era
is explained through the model of perfect competition for which the
qualifications are as follows: very little or no service differentation,
many sellers, and price as the only means of distinguishing o .....

The Threat Of Death
.... 19). This means, put simply, to punish for a crime in a way that the
punishment outweighs the crime. If the punishment for robbing a bank is to
spend one day in jail, then bank robbing would become a daily occurance. On the
same note, if there is a reward for a lost item of jewelry and the reward is
less than the selling price for that jewelry, the finder has no reason to bring
it back. On the other hand, if the reward exceeds the value of the jewelry, the
new owner will bring it back very promptly. In the case of capital punishment,
if a person wants someone dead badly enough, and the punishment for murder is a
sh .....

Auditor Liability
.... effect on those which are harmed by
alleged negligence. The cost of liability is reasonable when compared to
total revenues, and in light of a CPA's public responsibility. Indemnity
insurance spreads risk in the aggregate therefore removing the element of
risk at the firm level. The threat of litigation provides public
accountants with a deterrent against negligent work. Finally, the results
of lawsuits cause the profession itself to implement new standards.
(Bolinger p.54)
The AICPA and its supporters have developed their argument based
on continued liability's likely effect on the profession as well as an
economic argument. .....

Capital Punishment
.... from auto theft
to 1st-Degree Murder, never take into account the consequences of their
actions. Deterrence to crime, is rooted in the individuals themselves.
Every human has a personal set of conduct. How much they will and will not
tolerate. How far they will and will not go. This personal set of conduct
can be made or be broken by friends, influences, family, home, life, etc.
An individual who is never taught some sort of restraint as a child, will
probably never understand any limit as to what they can do, until they
have learned it themselves. Therefore, capital punishment will never truly
work as a deterrent, because of hu .....

Computer Crime

invasion of privacy, or vandalism. Quite often they are mearly
out for a fun and games evening, and they get entangled in the
illegal use of their machines without realizing the full import of
what they are doing" , I have a hard time believing that so lets see
what a "hacker" has to say about what he does "Just as they were
enthraled with their pursuit of information, so are we. The thrill
of the hack is not in breaking the law, it's in the pursuit and
capture of knowledge." , as you can see the "hacker" doesn't go
out to do destroy things although some do. It's in the pursuit of
knowled .....

Canada's Copyright Law
.... actors, producers and everyone
else who collect royalties from the tapes lose money. If the companies
start to lose money, they raise prices. Thus a vicious circle begins. As
prices go up, fewer people buy original copies. If less people buy the
original cassettes prices will once again rise.
Another major form of piracy is plagiarism. The stealing of
someone elses ideas or work. The biggest category of people who fall into
here are students. Very often a student when doing a research paper will
"accidently" forget to footnote his work. By "forgetting" to give the
author credit, the student has claimed the work as .....

Capital Punishment: Deters Murder, And Is Just Retribution
.... out of offenders, and that the threat of death will be enough to
deter the crime rate, but the crime rate is irrelevant.
According to Isaac Ehrlich's study, published on April 16, 1976, eight
murders are deterred for each execution that is carried out in the U.S.A.
He goes on to say, "If one execution of a guilty capital murderer deters
the murder of one innocent life, the execution is justified." To most
supporters of the death penalty, like Ehrlich, if even 1 life is saved, for
countless executions of the guilty, it is a good reason for the death
penalty. The theory that society engages in murder when executing the
gu .....

The Death Penalty
.... It is called hanging, drawing and
countering. First you would be dragged to the place of execution on a hurdle.
This is a type of sled that was attached to the back of a horse. You would be
hanged to the brink of death before being cut down. The third stage of the
execution is that the persons gentiles would be cut off and burned in front of
the body before it was cut from the going to the chest and the intestines would
be taken out and also burned, after the body would be cut into four pieces and
the head would be displayed for the public. In one case a man at the point of
the hanging took a literal running jump in or .....

make. Driving a vehicle while your ability to drive is impaired by alcohol
or drugs is one of the offences. Evidence of your condition can be used to
convict you. This can include evidence of your general conduct, speech,

Drinking Age
.... Drunk drivers are
of all ages. And I'm not trying to say that all teens drink either. But
the ones that do and are stupid enough to say they're sober and can drive
home safe. Those are the ones that put innocent citizens at risk. The
drunk teens that drive are looking at getting their license provoked.
They go to jail, their car gets impounded, and of course they get a DUI.
At parties where teens get drunk, they can easily forget stuff. A
lot of times that's where teens get pregnant. The girls don't always know
their pregnant so they continue drink. This is bad for their baby. When
they have unprotected sex there' .....

Quick Look At Gun Control
.... have been the murder weapon of
choice. Guns are involved in half of all homicide cases. People
believe that society has relied on weapons that create harm and
criminals. Therefore, these weapons should be outlawed.
However, law abiding citizens have the right to protect
themselves against danger. Due to the ownership of guns, burglaries
have reduced considerably. A gun is a tool, guns don't kill people.
People kill people. The matter depends on who is using the gun, and
what situation it is involved in. Purchasing a handgun legal .....
