1. Which of the following is properly quoted from the original source material?
Original passage, excerpted from page 23
Respect people. This begins with an understanding of the diversity of their gifts. Understanding the diversity of these gifts enables us to begin
taking the crucial step of trusting each other.
DePree, Max. Leadership Is an Art, Doubleday, 1989.
a. A number of American business people are sharing their business expertise via books. Among them are Jack Welch, Lee lacocca, and Max
DePree. Reading their books helps us to begin taking the crucial step of trusting each other.

DePree. Reading their books helps us "begin taking the crucial step of trusting each other" (DePree 23)
2. Which of the following is properly quoted from the original source material?
Original passage, excerpted from page 45
Work enrichment and a high quality of life go hand in hand. Knowing the degree to which a worker is chafing is the first step. Altering that situation so
you have a productive employee is the second step.
Dichter, Ernest. How Hot a Manager Are You? McGraw Hill, 1987
a. Those who supervise others-whether informally or on the job-must be aware of two things. First is the distaste your employee/children/
committee members/student may be experiencing in relation to the task before them. Learning how much they are "chafing" is the first step (Dichter
45).
b. Those who supervise others-whether informally or on the job-must be aware of two things. First is the distaste your employees/children/
committee members/students may be experiencing in relation to the task before them. Learning how much they are chafing is the first step.
3. Which of the following is properly quoted from the original source material?
Original passage, excerpted from page 17
Taubert et al. signed up six men and seven women aged 55-64 for the study. All subjects had just been diagnosed with mild high blood pressure-on
average, systolic blood pressure (the top number) of 153 and diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) of 84. Every day for two weeks, they ate a
100-gram candy bar and were asked to balance its 480 calories by not eating other foods similar in nutrients and calories.
Rapitis, George. The Lighter Side of Dark Chocolate: Take It to Heart. Author House, 2007.
a. Rapitis reports that a small but significant study was done on 13 people aged 55-64. Each had recently been given a diagnosis of a mild problem
regarding high blood pressure. Participants averaged readings of 153/84. For a full two-week period, they ate a 100 gram candy bar and were asked
to balance its 480 calories by not eating other foods similar in nutrients and calories.

1. Which of the following is properly paraphrased from the original source material?
Original passage, excerpted from page 12
The [BP] spill is likely to change how we approach our liability laws and our regulatory policies. If companies aren’t fully liable for their costs, they end
up running greater risks. When regulatory rules say you’re only liable up to $75 million-the current liability cap for the oil spill-people act on that.
Zupan, Mark. "In Deep Water." Rochester Review, July-Aug. 2010, pp. 12-3.
a. According to Mark Zupan, the Dean of the Simon School and professor of economics and public policy, the BP spill will probably affect both
liability laws and regulations. Zupan warns that if companies are not held liable for costs, they could face even more serious consequences.
Companies will hold themselves accountable for the liability limits, which are currently capped at $75 million for oil spills (Zupan 12).
b. The BP spill is likely to change how we approach both our liability laws and our regulations. Companies who don’t feel they are responsible for
their own costs of doing business "running greater risks." If the regulations only hold a firm liable for $75 million (the existing cap), people will act on
that amount, according to the Dean of the Simon School (Zupan).
2. Which of the following is properly paraphrased from the original source material?
Original passage, excerpted from page 141
The distinction between active and passive euthanasia seems, on the surface, easy enough. Active euthanasia occurs in those instances in which
someone takes active means, such as a lethal injection, to bring about someone’s death; passive euthanasia occurs in those instances in which
someone simply refuses to intervene in order to prevent someone’s death. In a hospital setting, a DNR (do not resuscitate) order is one of the most
common means of passive euthanasia.
Hinman, Lawrence M. Contemporary Moral Issues: Diversity and Consensus. 2nd ed., Prentice Hall, 2000
a. The controversial ethical issue of euthanasia is more complicated than whether or not you are killing a person. One must understand that there are
different types of euthanasia, and that each type has its own set of moral arguments. For example, you can be in favor of passive euthanasia, which
s when no one actively attempts to prevent a person’s death, simply allowing a natural death to occur. But that would not mean that you support
active euthanasia, which is when steps are taken to cause someone’s death, such as when a person chooses to die on their own terms rather than
continue to suffer a terminal illness (Hinman 141).

3. Which of the following is properly paraphrased from the original source material?
Original passage, excerpted from page 1
A Southern California pediatrician with ties to the anti-vaccine movement, Bob Sears, has suggested that measles in the United States is nothing to
fear, minimizing the potential complications the virus can cause. He does acknowledge in a post that the outbreak is a "public health nightmare," which
Sears himself knows well. A 2008 outbreak of measles beginning with an unvaccinated child returning from Switzerland was a patient of Sears’. That
outbreak resulted in 11 cases, led to the quarantine of dozens more, and cost California more than $100,000 to contain.
While the incidence of measles has dropped about 99 percent since the introduction of the vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella, that doesn’t mean
we’re out of the woods. The past year has shown a resurgence in measles infections in the United States. Last year was the worst year for measles in
two decades. While we’ve seen fewer than 100 cases of measles in most years since the turn of the century, that number spiked to 644 cases in 2014,
from 23 separate outbreaks in 27 states.
Smith, Tara C. "Measles Outbreak at Disney: Anti-MMR-Vaccine Activists Claim Disease Isn’t Dangerous." Slate Magazine, 23 January 2015,
www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2015/01/
measles_outbreak_at_disney_anti_mmr_vaccine_activists_claim_disease_isn.html.
. Some doctors with ties to the anti-vaccine movement, like California pediatrician Bob Sears, have suggested that measles in America is nothing to
fear, minimizing potential complications of the virus. The past year (2014) has actually shown a resurgence in measles infections in the United States
and was the worst year for measles in twenty years (Smith 1).
b. Smith’s interviews with anti-vaccine activists reveal that the movement is attempting to downplay the dangerousness of measles. Unfortunately,
2014 saw an increasing number of confirmed measles cases in the United States: 644 infections in 27 separate states, when normally the number
would be less than 100 a year-at least, so it has been ever since vaccinations were introduced (Smith 1).Read more

Mergers

Mergers are better than acquisitions, I plan to grab the attention of my readers by presenting them with evidences with credible sources that will back up my key points Mergers are better than acquisitions because of the obvious reason; owners are allowed to have rights and ownership in a company or the organization. In support of this statement, there are a number of arguments validated. Firstly, mergers contribute greatly towards the profitability of firms hence availing funds for research and development projects. Secondly, mergers allow for a collaborative interaction between parties involved; something that is not common with acquisitions. Additionally, mergers can be engaged without any charges involved generally considered as a transaction that is free from tax. The profitability of any firm is depended on mergers. Mergers make companies generate a lot more profits which are eventually utilized in development projects and scientific research programs aimed at boosting the performance of a company. When companies realize profits acquired from merging between one another, it is a way of raising funds for development projects for individual firms. The evidence I found is to support my point are the examples of actual companies that merged and have since made tremendous profits since like Bank of America and MBNA, Disney and Pixar just to mention a few. Referencing the sample companies mentioned above and using Disney and Pixar as an example, Pixar figured that the merge will benefit them considering Disney is a strong brand that was well known and had established marketing strategies that are working just fine making them a billion dollar brand. “Our partnership with Disney has probably been the most successful partnership in Hollywood history, and it’s been the best thing that ever happened for Pixar. We wouldn’t be here today without it”- Steve Jobs. Also, in the case of Bank of America and MBNA the merger created one of the greatest credit card portfolios. “Both companies benefit as cross-sell opportunities exist to sell MBNA products to Bank of America customers and Bank of America products to MBNA customers”. Mergers allow for a collaborative interaction between parties involved; something that is not common with acquisitions. Collaboration required working together on all fronts from their intents, to financials to risk and the final goal. The evidence I found to support this point indicates that collaboration is one of the most powerful tool that can be utilized during a merger to overcome the challenges that come with it. Mutual collaboration helps create a union between the two parties that are strengthened in one accord with similar objectives. The parties therefore are able to benefit from each other in sharing ideas, innovations and different ideologies that can positively contribute towards achieving their goals. The first step is to ensure that a conscious decision to pursue collaboration is made by both parties involved in the process wherever and whenever it is valuable. “Starting early in the game increases the confidence to make collaboration a habit as the deal progresses” Normally most business transactions are preceded with fees, taxes and or legal chargers that will allow an independent firm to run a business in a certain direction. This is not the case with some acquisitions. The process of merging at times is fee-free where transactions to join are not taxed. In other words, anyone can engage in mergers without any charges levied on transactions carried out. Mergers therefore are somewhat economical compared to acquisitions. There are different types of mergers and various provision with the IRS regulations that supports this fact like Code §368(a)(1)(A) Everyone is not in support of the argument that mergers are better. There are those who would basically center their interest in acquisition of course laying opposition against mergers. One of the counterarguments advanced is that mergers are not bettered because there could emerge frictions among the executives of the two companies. This is a misunderstanding, mergers can be termed as mutual while acquisition could be coined as a takeover which sometimes could be hostile causing more than that good to the process overall. The other counterargument is based on the difference in size of the two companies that merge. It is often believed this is an indication that there is a lot to do in order to achieve integration. Bigger companies do not measure the same value like smaller ones. The task of integration is really hard because if the two companies do not know the extent to which each one operates, they may fail to solve this problem. In response to this, mergers need to clearly come up with business strategies and agree on one stand that will help run the organization without feeling any differences. Indisputably, mergers stand higher chances of possessing more importance compared to acquisitions especially when it comes to company ownership and retention of rights. Their contribution towards company’s profitability, interactive collaboration and the tax-free transactions in engagement grants mergers and upper hand over other strategies in business. These advantages translate into one overall big advantage that is; there are lower risks involved in a business. Generating profits, keeping a mutual interaction and avoiding costs of engaging in mergers essentially the main values incurred. Mergers are better than acquisitions because of the obvious reason; owners are allowed to have rights and ownership in a company or the organization just like in the case of Disney and Pixar. In support of this statement, there are a number of arguments validated.
