Miller/Shaw's BUSINESS ETHICS, 10th Edition, is a comprehensive and practical guide that will help you with real life ethical issues that rise in the business world. It will assist you through the process of developing critical thinking and analytical skills needed to successfully navigate the unique set of problems that emerge when ethics and commerce collide.

This book offers a detailed utilitarian analysis of the ethical issues involved in war.Utilitarianism and the Ethics of War addresses the two basic ethical questions posed by war: when, if ever, are we morally justified in waging war, and if recourse to arms is warranted, how are we permitted to fight the wars we wage? In addition, it deals with the challenge that realism and relativism raise for the ethical discussion of war, and with the duties of military personnel and the moral challenges they can face. In tackling these matters, the book covers a wide range of topics—from pacifism to armed humanitarian intervention, from the right of national defense to pre-emptive or preventive war, from civilian immunity to the tenets of just war theory and the moral underpinnings of the rules of war. But, what is distinctive about this book is that it provides a consistent and thorough-going utilitarian or consequentialist treatment of the fundamental normative issues that war occasions. Although it goes against the tide of recent work in the field, a utilitarian approach to the ethics of war illuminates old questions in new ways by showing how a concern for well-being and the consequences of our actions and policies shape the moral constraints to which states and other actors must adhere.This book will be of much interest to students of the ethics of war, just war theory, moral philosophy, war and conflict studies and IR.

Aimed at undergraduates, Contemporary Ethics presupposes little or no familiarity with ethics and is written in a clear and engaging style. It provides students with a sympathetic but critical guide to utilitarianism, explaining its different forms and exploring the debates it has spawned. The book leads students through a number of current issues in contemporary ethics that are connected to controversies over and within utilitarianism. At the same time, it uses utilitarianism to introduce students to ethics as a subject. In these ways, the book is not only a guide to utilitarianism, but also an introduction to some standard problems of ethics and to several important topics in contemporary ethical theory.

These chapters by eight Korea specialists present a new approach to human rights issues in Korea. Instead of using an external and purely contemporary standard, the authors work from within Korean history, treating the successive phases of Korea’s modern century to examine the uneasy fate of human rights and some of the ideas of human rights as they have developed in the Korean context. Beginning with the Independence Club of the late nineteenth century and continuing through to the constitutional and judicial structures underlying the Sixth Republic Government of Roh Tae Woo in South Korea, these papers illuminate the sometimes complex interactions between modern Korean human-rights issues and the legacies of Korean culture and colonial occupation.The contributors provide a corrective to two common errors: one, an overemphasis on the tension between residual Confucian culture and human-rights concepts; two, the opposite error, a defensive nationalism that gives rise to ill-founded efforts to identify democratic antecedents in the Korean past. Instead, these authors allow each episode in the emergence of Korean human rights thought and action to stand in the context of its own time and of Korea’s modern history. The final sections deal with the usefulness and appropriateness of U.S. policies toward human rights in South Korea and comparatively with the overall issues raised in the volume.

The phenomenal success of Los Angelinos like N.W.A, Ice-T, Ice Cube, Coolio, Snoop, Dr.Dre and Warren G. means that every block in Southcentral contains at least one boy who wants to be a rapper. "Westsiders" is a book about seven young men, all of whom are trying to make it in the rap business. It follows the changes in their musical and personal lives as they try and get shows, auditions, record demos in an increasingly shark-filled market-place. A few have been, or are, gang members. Some have straight jobs, others are drug dealers. Some have stable backgrounds, others were raised by grandparents, aunts or single mothers. Some love gangsta rap with a passion, and want to keep faith with it: others want to move on to something more positive. What they all share is the experience of growing up in a place that is far more violent than the one their parents grew up in. They have to navigate the loyalties of neighbourhood and friendship. All have lost close friends or relatives in the violence.

Dixon, Illinois, is the boyhood home of President Ronald Reagan. Dickson (or Dikson), Siberia, is the northernmost town in the world, a place where polar bears are a traffic hazard, and, at the beginning of this story, a restricted area of the then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, closed to foreigners. In 1984 the London "Sunday Times" published an unsympathetic article about economic difficulties in Dixon, Illinois, symptomatic of the failure of Reaganism. The article was picked up and given an even more anti-capitalist slant by the Soviet press, under the title "Dixon: A Community of Broken Hearts". Two Siberian journalists conceived the idea of linking Dixon, Illinois, with Dickson, Siberia, and wrote to Bill Shaw, editor of the Dixon local newspaper, enquiring about contacts between the two small towns. Shaw almost misfiled the letter in his waste basket, but fished it out on second thought, and enlisted the Mayor of Dixon in the effort to develop friendship between the two communities.The local Soviet newspaper for the Taimyr peninsula, where Dickson is situated, produced an edition in English, which was sent to Dixon, and reproduced as a supplement in the local newspaper, eliciting an intense response from many people in the town. Yet there were sceptics who insisted that Dixon community leaders were becoming dupes of the Soviets, and at any earlier period these sceptics might have been proved right. No one could then know for sure that many of the 15,000 residents of Dixon were becoming personally involved in one of the most momentous events of modern history: the rapid disintegration of the USSR. The story of this cultural contact, in which misunderstanding, suspicion, and lack of candour gave way to understanding and friendship, at a time when the Cold War was coming abruptly to an end, is told in alternating segments by Boris Ivanov and Bill Shaw, two newspapermen viewing the unfolding situation from opposite sides of the Iron Curtain. Ronald Reagan's own reminiscences of Dixon and of his earliest reactions to the Russian Revolution and the expansion of Communist influence form the epilogue to this story.
