The Fluidity of the Kite Runner

The Kite Runner is a novel by Khaled Hosseini. Published in 2003 by Riverhead Books, it is Hosseini's first novel, and was adapted into a film of the same name in 2007. The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir, a young boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, whose closest friend is Hassan, his father's young Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of Afghanistan's monarchy through the Soviet invasion, the exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime. Plot summary Part IAmir, a well-to-do Pashtun boy, and Hassan, a Hazara who is the son of Ali, Amir's father's servant, spend their days in the hitherto peaceful city of Kabul, kite fighting. Amir's father, a wealthy merchant, whom Amir affectionately refers to as Baba, loves both boys, but is often more harshly critical of Amir, considering him weak and lacking in courage. Amir finds a kinder fatherly figure in Rahim Khan, Baba's closest friend. Khan understands Amir and supports his interest in writing. Amir explains that his first word was ‘Baba' and Hassan's ‘Amir', suggesting that Amir looks up most to Baba, while Hassan looks up to Amir.Assef, a notorious sociopath and violent older boy, mocks Amir for socializing with a Hazara, which is, according to Assef, an inferior race whose members belong only in Hazarajat. One day, he prepares to attack Amir with stainless-steel brass knuckles, but Hassan bravely stands up to him, threatening to shoot out Assef's eye out with his slingshot. Assef and his posse back off, but Assef threatens revenge. Hassan is a successful â€Å"kite runner† for Amir, knowing where the kite will land without watching it. One triumphant day, Amir wins the local tournament, and finally Baba's praise.Hassan runs for the last cut kite, a great trophy, saying to Amir, â€Å"For you, a thousand times over. † Unfortunately, Hassan encounters Assef in an alleyway after f inding the kite. Hassan refuses to give up Amir's kite, and Assef decides to teach Hassan a lesson. He beats him severely and then anally rapes him. Amir witnesses the act but is too scared to intervene. Secretly, he also knows that if he intervenes, he might not be able to bring the kite home; therefore, Baba would be less proud of him. After witnessing this brutal act against his dearest friend, he feels incredibly guilty, but knows that his owardice would destroy any hopes for Baba's affections, so he tells no one what he saw. Afterward, Amir keeps a distance from Hassan, his guilt preventing him from interacting with the boy. Jealous of Baba's love for Hassan, Amir worries that if Baba found out about Hassan's bravery and his own cowardice, Baba's love for Hassan would grow even more. Amir, filled with guilt on his birthday, cannot enjoy his gifts. The only present that does not feel like â€Å"blood† money is the notebook to write his stories in given to him by Rahim Kha n, his father's friend and the only one Amir felt really understood him.Amir feels life would be easier if Hassan were not around, so he plants a watch and some money under Hassan's mattress in hopes that Baba will make him leave; Hassan falsely confesses when confronted by Baba. Baba forgives him, despite the fact that, as he explains earlier, he believes that â€Å"there is no act more wretched than stealing. † Hassan and Ali, to Baba's extreme sorrow, leave anyway. It is clear that Ali knows about Hassan's rape. Their leaving frees Amir of the daily reminder of his cowardice and betrayal, but he still lives in the shadow of these things. Part IIFive years later, the Soviet Union invades Afghanistan in 1979. Amir and Baba escape to Peshawar, Pakistan and then to Fremont, California, where Amir and Baba, who lived in luxury in an expensive mansion in Afghanistan, settle in a run-down apartment and Baba begins work at a gas station. Amir eventually takes classes at a local co mmunity college to develop his writing skills after graduating from high school at age twenty. Every Sunday, Baba and Amir make extra money selling used goods at a flea market in San Jose. There, Amir meets fellow refugee Soraya Taheri and her family.Soraya's father, General Taheri, once a high-ranking officer in Afghanistan, has contempt for Amir's literary aspiration. Baba is diagnosed with terminal small cell carcinoma but is still capable of granting Amir one last favor: he asks Soraya's father's permission for Amir to marry her. He agrees and the two marry. Shortly thereafter Baba dies. Amir and Soraya settle down in a happy marriage, but to their sorrow they learn that they cannot have children. Amir embarks on a successful career as a novelist. Fifteen years after his wedding, Amir receives a call from Rahim Khan, who is dying from an illness.Rahim Khan asks Amir to come to Peshawar, Pakistan. He enigmatically tells Amir, â€Å"There is a way to be good again. † Amir g oes. Part III From Rahim Khan, Amir learns the fates of Ali and Hassan. Ali was killed by a land mine. Hassan had a wife named Farzana and a son named Sohrab. He had lived in a village near Bamiyan, but returned to Baba's house as a caretaker at Rahim Khan's request, although he moved to a hut in the yard so as not to dishonor Amir by taking his place in the house. During his stay, his mother Sanaubar returned after a long search for him, and died after four years.One month after Rahim Khan left for Pakistan, the Taliban ordered Hassan to give up the house and leave, but he refused, and was executed, along with Farzana. Rahim Khan reveals that Ali was not really Hassan's father, that Ali was sterile, and that Hassan was actually Baba's son, and therefore Amir's half-brother. Finally, Rahim Khan tells Amir that the true reason he called Amir to Pakistan was to rescue Sohrab from an orphanage in Kabul. Rahim Khan asks Amir to bring Sohrab to Thomas and Betty Caldwell, who own an orpha nage.Amir becomes furious; he feels cheated because he had not known that Hassan was his half-brother. Amir finally relents and decides to go to Kabul to get Sohrab. He travels in a taxi with an Afghan driver named Farid, a veteran of the war with the Soviets, and stays as a guest at Farid's brother Wahid's house. Farid, initially hostile to Amir, is sympathetic when he hears of Amir's true reason for returning, and offers to accompany him on his journey. Amir searches for Sohrab at the orphanage. To enter Taliban territory, clean shaven Amir wears a fake beard and mustache.However, Sohrab is not at the orphanage; its director tells them that a Taliban official comes often, brings cash, and usually takes a girl away with him. Once in a while however, he takes a boy, recently Sohrab. The director tells Amir to go to a soccer match, where the procurer makes speeches at half-time. Farid secures an appointment with the speaker at his home, by claiming to have â€Å"personal businessâ⠂¬  with him. At the house, Amir meets the man, who turns out to be Assef. Assef recognizes Amir from the outset, but Amir does not recognise Assef until he asks about Ali, Baba, and Hassan.Sohrab is being kept at Assef's home where he is made to dance dressed in women's clothes, and it seems Assef may have raped him. Assef agrees to relinquish him, but only for a price;cruelly beating Amir. However, Amir is saved when Sohrab uses his slingshot to shoot out Assef's left eye, fulfilling Hassan's threat made many years before. While at a hospital treating his injuries, Amir asks Farid to find information about Thomas and Betty Caldwell. When Farid returns, he tells Amir that the American couple does not exist.Amir tells Sohrab of his plans to take him back to America and possibly adopt him, and promises that he will never be sent to an orphanage again. However, US authorities demand evidence of Sohrab's orphan status. After decades of war, this is all but impossible to get in Afghani stan. Amir tells Sohrab that he may have to temporarily break his promise until the paperwork is completed. Upon hearing this, Sohrab attempts suicide. Amir eventually takes him back to the United States without an orphanage, and introduces him to his wife. However, Sohrab is emotionally damaged and refuses to speak to or even glance at Soraya.His frozen emotions eventually thaw when Amir reminisces about Hassan and kites. Amir shows off some of Hassan's tricks, and Sohrab begins to interact with Amir again. In the end Sohrab only shows a lopsided smile, but Amir takes to it with all his heart as he runs the kite for Sohrab, saying, â€Å"For you, a thousand times over. † Characters Amir is the protagonist and narrator of the novel. He was born in 1963, and his mother died giving birth. He is a Pashtun. As a child, Amir delighted himself with storytelling and was encouraged by Rahim Khan to become an author.At age eighteen, he and his father fled to America following the Sovi et invasion in Afghanistan, where Amir pursues his dream of being a writer. Hassan is Amir's closest childhood friend. He is described as having a China doll face, green eyes, and a harelip. The reader eventually discovers that Hassan is actually the son of Baba and Sanaubar, although Hassan never knows this during his lifetime. Hassan was later shot by the Taliban led by Mohammed Omar for refusal to abandon Amir's property. Assef is the main antagonist of the novel.He is the son of an Afghan father and a German mother and ironically, given that he is of mixed origin, an advocate of Pashtun dominance over the Hazara. As a teenager, he is a neighborhood bully and is described as a â€Å"sociopath† by Amir. Many of his cruel actions as a child include raping Hassan as a means of revenge against Amir, and giving Amir a biography of Adolf Hitler as a birthday present. As an adult, he joins the Taliban and rapes and abuses Hassan's son Sohrab. Baba is Amir's father and a wealthy b usinessman who aids the community by creating businesses for others and building a new orphanage.He is also the biological father of Hassan, a secret he takes to the grave. Baba is born in 1933 . According to legend, he won in a fight with a black bear in his younger years. Believing that sin could be explained as a form of stealing from one's fellow man, he does not endorse the religiosity demanded by the clerics in the religion classes attended by Amir in school. Baba is disappointed in his son Amir, whom he wishes to be as manly as he is, and appears to favor Hassan. In his later years after fleeing to America, he works at a gas station.He dies from cancer in 1987, shortly after Amir and Soraya's wedding. Ali is Baba's servant, a Hazara believed to be Hassan's father. In his youth, Baba's father adopted him after his parents were killed by a drunk driver. Before the events of the novel, Ali had been struck with polio, rendering his right leg useless. Because of this, Ali was cons tantly tormented by children in the town. He was killed by a land mine in Hazarajat. Rahim Khan is Baba's loyal friend and business partner, as well as a mentor to Amir. Rahim convinces Amir to come to Pakistan by saying â€Å"there is a way to be good again. He eventually tells Amir that Hassan is his half brother, and that he should save Sohrab. He dies peacefully knowing he has successfully made Amir the man Baba wanted him to be. Soraya is a young Afghan woman whom Amir meets in America. She lives with her parents, Afghan general Taheri and his wife. She meets Amir at a flea market and later marries him. Soraya wants to become an English teacher. Before meeting Amir, she ran away with an Afghan boyfriend in Virginia, which, according to Afghan tradition, made her unsuitable for marriage. Because Amir also had his own regrets, he loved and married her anyway.Soraya wants to have children but cannot because of â€Å"unexplained infertility†. Sohrab is the son of Hassan. Af ter his parents are killed and he is sent to an orphanage, Assef buys him and physically abuses the child. Amir saves him, and then is saved by Sohrab in a pivotal confrontation. He is later adopted by Amir and Soraya, where he adapts to his new life. Sohrab greatly resembles a young version of his father Hassan. Sanaubar is Ali's wife and the mother of Hassan. Shortly after Hassan's birth, she runs away from home and becomes a gypsy. She later returns to Hassan in his adulthood.To make up for her neglect she provided a grandmother figure for Sohrab, Hassan's son. Farid is a taxi driver who is initially abrasive toward Amir, but later befriends him. Two daughters of Farid's seven children were killed by a land mine, a disaster which mutilated three fingers on his left hand and also took some of his toes. After spending a night with Farid's brother's impoverished family, Amir hides a bundle of money under the mattress to help them: the secretive act once committed to hurt his friend Hassan, he now does to help someone he barely knows.General Taheri is the father of Soraya. General Taheri lives mainly off welfare, considering himself too good for ordinary work. He is always waiting for a call to be restored to his former position as a high-ranking general in Kabul, which he eventually receives at the end of the novel, after the fall of the Taliban. Khala/Khanum Jamila is Soraya's mother, who lovingly accepts Amir into her family. She sees Amir as someone who could â€Å"do no wrong in her eyes. † Farzana is Hassan's wife and Sohrab's mother, a shy Hazara who is later shot to death by the Taliban.Reception The Kite Runner received the South African Boeke Prize in 2004. It was the first 2005 best seller in the United States, according to Nielsen BookScan. It was also voted the Reading Group Book of the Year for 2006 and 2007 and headed a list of 60 titles submitted by entrants to the Penguin/Orange Reading Group prize . Controversies The Kite Runner has bee n accused of hindering Western understanding of the Taliban by portraying Taliban members as representatives of various social and doctrinal evils not typically attributed to the Taliban .The American Library Association reports that The Kite Runner is one of its most-challenged books of 2008, with multiple attempts to remove it from libraries due to â€Å"offensive language, sexually explicit, and unsuited to age group. † Afghanistan's Ministry of Culture banned the film from distribution in cinemas or DVD stores, citing the possibility that the movie's ethnically charged rape scene could incite racial violence within Afghanistan. Adaptations The Kite Runner was published in 2003 and in 2007 adapted as a motion picture tarring Khalid Abdalla, Homayoun Ershadi, and Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada . Directed by Marc Forster and with a screenplay by David Benioff, the movie won numerous awards and was nominated for an Oscar, the BAFTA Film Award and the Critics Choice Award . However, M anhola Dargis of the New York Times states that â€Å"The back of my paperback copy of this Khaled Hosseini novel is sprinkled with words like ‘powerful' and ‘haunting' and ‘riveting' and ‘unforgettable'. It's a good guess this film will be rolled around in a similarly large helping of lard. The novel was also adapted to the stage by Bay Area playwright Matthew Spangler. It was performed at San Jose State University in March 2007 and two years later at San Jose Repertory Theatre, where David Ira Goldstein directed a cast that included Barzin Akhavan, Demosthenes Chrysan, Gregor Paslawsky, James Saba, Thamos Fiscelle, Craig Piaget, Lowell Abellon, Rinabeth Apostol, Adam Yazbeck, Zarif Kabier Sadiqi, Wahab Shayek, and Lani Carissa Wong, with Salar Nader also onstage playing tabla.The play was subsequently produced at Arizona Theatre Company, Actor's Theatre of Louisville, Cleveland Play House, and The New Repertory Theatre of Watertown, Massachusetts .

The Philosophy of Supply Chain Management in the New Economy

THE PHILOSOPHY OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE NEW ECONOMY: NET READINESS IN THE NET SUPPLY CHAIN The use of Internet in business can bring change in business sector that can lead the traditional enterprise to collapse. Globalization processes, massive implementation of Information Technology and the establishment of virtual enterprises are the basic elements in the era of the Digital Revolution. Net readiness is the ability of the enterprise to adapt to the new technologies.With the vast development of internet technology, there is a tremendous development in the supply chain management and traditional SCM has been transformed into e-SCM. So the new economic system is largely based on the information technology. Based on a huge implementation of Information Technology foundations for the New Economy are laid. D. Tapscott gave 12 principles of the New Economy. A continuous process of adaptation is required to these processes to meet evolving consumers’ needs.New principles o f operation are applied by new economy enterprises. Within the Time Based Management an ever-increasing effectiveness is guaranteed in the implementation of the Internet. Physical, informational and financial flows are present on the logistics pipeline. Virtual organizations are treated as production systems used to create products and satisfy customers’ needs. These virtual organizations utilize a concrete supply that is input and output to satisfy the needs and ensure expected profit.Users, telecommunications businesses and suppliers are the three groups of enterprises that utilize Internet infrastructure. They offer a wide variety of services to both traditional and virtual enterprises, which is based on the ‘5C’. Based on the flow of goods and services the created virtual chain is connected with traditional supply chain. The synergy effect of traditional business solutions and Internet technology applications are the two specific characteristics of the supply chain functioning.The utilizations of the resources and advantages of e-SCM can be directly related to the term called â€Å"Net Readiness† (NR) described by the employees of Cisco which means that the ability of the existing enterprise to adapt to new technologies and conduct their activities using the web. NR evaluation chart is the main NR research tool, which describes the level of involvement of an enterprise in e-business solutions. In relation to the best representative in its group it enables the position of the enterprise to be determined.Enterprises are divided into five groups: Internet visionary, Internet expert, Internet savvy, Internet aware, Internet agnostic. Modern supply chains have many advantages, but they have threats resulting from characteristics of e-economy. Due to a world-wide economic stratification and a clear division into digital civilization and outsiders limits in new opportunities can be noticed. Due to the e-businesses in the new economy, th e society is evolving into information society and a lot of innovative techniques which saves time are being implemented which adds value to the production and customer service.

Gender Differences and Behavior in Schools - 1401 Words

What â€Å"area† have you chosen as the focus for your level 6 research project, why do you think this is worthy of research? My level six research project will be looking into behaviour in schools; this will also carry an element of individual and, correspondingly, gender differences. This is worthy of research as even though there has been a vast amount of research completed already, about behaviour, this specific topic is somewhat less researched. Saying this, it is important to note that this specific topic has been researched previously, and that the only way it can be seen as a less researched topic is when it is compared with wider educational research. This is due to the colossal amount of educational research that has been undertaken†¦show more content†¦The chosen data collection methods, which are; observations, semi-structured interviews and hot air balloon, will all present me with three sets of qualitative data. Optimistically, the hot air balloon method will be set up in a communal area where both Key Stage One staff and pupils can write one attitude towards learning on a post it not e and stick it up for everyone else to see. Furthermore, the semi-structured interviews will just be with the Key Stage One teachers, whilst the observations will only focus on the pupils. These were chosen over other methods because of the title not being compatible with quantitative data. My project intends to discover attitudes towards learning and, more importantly, how they portray themselves in the classroom; therefore, a list of statistics aren’t going to help identify that. On the other hand, a mixed method approach may be considered as it could be beneficial to list the most common attitudes towards learning; this data could be collected using a tally chart (Johnson and Christensen, 2010). What is your chosen research design? Why do you think this is the best way to achieve the project’s aims/research questions?

I Am Looking At Where Psychology As A Discipline - 1361 Words

History of Psychology In this essay I am looking at where Psychology as a discipline has come from and what affects these early ideas have had on psychology today, Psychology as a whole has stemmed from a number of different areas of study from Physics to Biology, But the first Psychological foundations are rooted in philosophy, which to this day propels psychological inquiry in areas such as language acquisition, consciousness, and even vision among many others. While the great philosophical distinction between mind and body in western thought can be traced to the Greeks, it is to the influential work of Renà © Descartes, French mathematician, philosopher, and physiologist, that we owe the first systematic account of the mind/body†¦show more content†¦Wundt stressed the use of scientific methods in psychology, particularly through the use of introspection. In 1875, a room was set-aside for Wundt for demonstrations in what we now call sensation and perception. This is the same year that William James set up a similar lab at Harvard. Wilhelm Wundt and William James are usually thought of as the fathers of psychology, as well as the founders of psychology?s first two great ?schools? Structuralism and Functionalism. Psychologist Edward B Titchner said; ?to study the brain and the unconscious we should break it into its structural elements, after that we can construct it into a whole and understand what it does.? (psicafe.com) Functionalism, an early school of psychology, focuses on the acts and functions of the mind rather than its internal contents. Its most prominent American advocate is William James. William James is the author of ?The Principles of Psychology? a book that is considered to be one of the most important texts in modern psychology. The subject matter of psychology is consciousness and it maybe understood in terms of what it is (structure), or in terms of what it does (function).? (Benjafield, 1996, p.123) The psychodynamic approach focuses largely on the role of motivation and past experiences in the development of personality and behaviour. In 1986 the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, introduced the term in a scholarly paper.

Environmental Issues in Management

Question: Discuss about theEnvironmental Issues in Management. Answer: Introduction The world is facing a terrible threat from the increasing temperature they has a widespread impact on the biotic as well as abiotic factors. Increased emission of harmful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, nitric oxide has huge contribution to the above mentioned threat. The rise in temperature takes place as the harmful gases form a cover of blanket in the earths atmosphere and prevents the long wave radiation of the heat to go back into the atmosphere (Becken et al. 2012). As a result this heat cannot escape and in turn heats up the earths atmosphere and resulted in global warming. Global warming has been projected as the main reason of the various disasters taking place over the earths surface such a smelting of ice in polar areas. This has resulted in a huge effect on every country of the world. In the essay one can consider a particular country in the world and thereby show the various effects that it can have on the natural habitat at that place alo ng with the different adverse effect that it can have on the various industries in the country. Business gets affected in a series of chain reactions that altogether attacks the stable socio economic condition of the country as well as the different lifestyles of the people residing there (Weinhofer et al. 2013). United Kingdom has gone through a series of natural disasters that has resulted in an extreme consciousness of the businessman to save their business from the ill effects of the climate change that has been occurring from the previous five years. A series of natural disasters have occurred in the recent year that had made the life of people devastated and had a propounding impact on the various industries present in the UK. A flood that occurred along with the storms in the winter months of the years 2013 to 2014 has affected the lives of common people in every way possible. In other terms one can portray it as a severe blow to a large number of business organisations as well as to a number of industries which are directly as well as indirectly associated with the human lives of the country (Epstein et al. 2015). Climate projections analysed over the uyears found that the impact of the environmental disasters on the business and the welfare of the industries must be thoroughly analys ed and suitable measures to be taken so that the lives of the local people benefitted from the industries can be altered towards betterment along with causing no loss to the investors and the purchasers involved in the business arenas. With the increase in temperature at this rate, environmentalists have concluded that there would be a rise of temperature of about 4? Celsius in the coming 40 years. Therefore, one cannot expect to decrease the effects of the natural disaster in the coming years but one can definitely take precautionary measures so that the business and industries should not get affected for they form the base of the social and financial reputation of a country (Benn et al. 2014). Risks in business are closely associated with the various climate changes in the country. From the past few years global warming has resulted increasing the temperature of the winter months of UK above a mean temperature of about 4? Celsius. This has concerned many environmentalists as well as the industries that flourish on the temperature range of the winter months being below the mentioned temperatures. This warming has caused a large number of risks to the business industries. In order to protect the industries from a large number of harmful effects of that of the various warming side effects a new project has been launched called the carbon disclosure project also called CDP (Howard et al. 2014). This project usually guides a huge number of companies in essaying the harmful impacts that various climatic changes such as floods, deforestation, lack of fresh water availability and various global changes over the world and take measurements accordingly. They have a huge number of co llected information and data sets from a variety of investors and purchasers that helps in policy making by every businessmen and policy makers that helps the business to cope up with the various losses faced by the industries (Morrison et al. 2013). The CDC usually acts by taking a survey of the different environmental performances provided by the companies, cities and states. They then integrate the data into the account of their projects so that they can analyse critically about the impacts the environments have on them. The most helpful and important aspect of the CDC that the investors, purchasers and the businessman can utilise the facts and the data to make plans and decisions that help to manage the different impacts and the risks that they have on the industry. It also helps to derive the planning how one can set the entire system in a way that can yield various opportunities in a number of different ways. This system has provided ecosystem integrity as well as cared for pu blic interests thereby saving the industries from doom (Gleick and Eisha 2014). The risks that are faced by different environmental changes can be broadly classified into a number of two groups. One of the groups can be classified as the direct risks and the other as indirect risks. The direct risks usually include the direct impact of climate on the number of various industries such as the operations conducted by the factories and the supply chains. It also affects the assets and properties of the industries as well. The second risk that the climatic changes can affect the organisations are the production efficiency as well as the production capacity, the various types of cost implemented for operational purposes as well as the ability to perform successful business (Smith 2013). As these risks have a direct effect on the success to loss ratio of every industry they can be easily identified and therefore may result in easy identification and analysis. The indirect risks usually include the risks that become inevitable from the direct risks that are confronted f rom the climatic changes in the cases. They usually include the changes that are involved in the regulation of the business environment. Changes in the behavioural output of the purchasers as well as the consumers are indeed a major risk for maintaining the profit margin of each industry. Expected planning and the procedures of every stakeholder involved such as the investors and the local organisations also get altered thereby creating a messed up situation (Hargroves et al. 2013). All this fluctuations ultimately lead to a tensed situation due to the continuous fluctuations of the socio- economic conditions of the various states in the country and results in a compromised livelihood. The demand of goods and commodities gets altered creating a pressure on the operational costs and seriously affect the market valuation of different commodities. In comparison to that of the direct risks which are easily identifiable, these risks are difficult to identify and can often be neglected by business (Becken et al. 2012). A large number of risks and impacts that are identified in this concept are the reduction in the production capacity and increased operational costs. These in turn lead to a series of complicacy that follows. These may be listed as reduced demand for goods and commodities due to the fall of economic condition of the country which in turn inhibits the ability to perform business (Jira et al. 2013). Further, increase in the capital cost causes disruption in the supply procedures and supply chain. The storms and floods also affect business by making difficulty in the availability of the raw materials due to the complete destruction or difficulty in extraction of the materials required. Market valuation gets affected due to the reduction of the stock price altogether harming the global economy of the country in the midst of the world. As a result, the reputation of the industries on the global scale gets affected thereby causing a series of negative aspects. Availability of capital becom es a major source of concern as the investors become unwilling to invest in such a tensed situation in the country often facing environmental changes and their successive effects (Winn and Pogutz 2013). The profit margin often gets altered in such a way that the organisational foundation gets affected with no profit and more loss outcome due to the impacts of the climate change. A major concern that arises from this facet is the workforce health that gets severely affected and the safety measures needs to be properly analysed. Often claiming of insurance becomes a major concern to the organisation that leads to a bulk outflow of capital from the system of the organisational funds. All together the customer demands get altered that might become a risk for the organisational output but may become an opportunity of another organisation that gets benefitted from the risks faced by a particular organisation (Geneva Association 2015). One can clearly portray the above mentioned risks by providing light on the two cases reported in the dailies of the UK. MS are one of the leading top 50 stores of UK that had conducted a study on the risks that it can face for the changing condition of the environment. They have identified that changing weather condition will affect their sales as well as their customer to staff experience, internal store environment, hygiene issues, water scarcity due to flood and comfort level of the purchasers (Becken 2013). Taking this as the primary concern they have laid out various discussions among their top authorities as well as with their landlords. They believe that they can take prior adaptations within 2020 that will protect them from any environmental hazards. Resource Company BHP Billiton maintains a reputation of the worlds top leading coal industries who are also monitoring the potential impacts of the climate changes o the level of their profitability. Cyclone Yasi that has hit the areas of North Queensland missed the Hay Point Coal port facility that has been very near to the region hit by the cyclone. This near miss of the cyclone was taken as a warning threat by the company and they have contributed themselves for the development of strategies such as like building very high trestles near the Hay Point port facility (Bocken et al. 2014). These have protected their properties and assets from the effects of storm intensity and storm surge levels. In order to analyse the sectors of the industries attaining different level of risks, one can classify the industries as those receiving greatest number of high severity like accommodation, water, food industries as well as the manufacturing industries, information and communication organisations. Organisations providing gas service and steam as well as air conditioner producing companies also fall into high risk category. Agricultural, forestry and fishing industries also faces severe threat. The second category forming the medium risk category are the mining, wholesale retailing, technical, professional and construction industries (Balbus et al. 2013). The third category that is the low risk categories mainly involve the organisations dealing with the administrative and the support services, those with education and transportation business, storage business and social work activities. Different models have been proposed by different policy makers for proper adaptability of the organisations to the various hazardous impacts that the climate change may have on their output capability. That is provided below in a simple diagrammatic representation as follows: Source: CDP data, 2014 By analysing the various risks that are associated with a large number of impacts from the various climatic hazards, different strategies have been plan from which different policies can be incorporated. These policies will in turn increase the opportunities in different sectors. A very good example is very well understood by the scarcity of water that occurs mainly due to flood or due to increase of temperatures due to global warming. The number of industries working for technologies that manage the supply and demand of water gains the most opportunities to excel in their fields (Franks et al. 2014). Markets for fire protection may find a successful foothold for the various adverse effects brought down by the natural disasters. Increase of temperature has been correlated with the increasing number of harmful insects that play an active role in the complete destruction of a large number of crops. As a result, pesticide industry faces an increased profit level due to the hazardous imp act of global warming. Thus, Crodass crop care business has excelled in the present decade (Hawken et al. 2013). Many insurance industries taking a chance of the opportunities have designed many policies that are related to climate change con sequences thereby attracting a large section of population towards them and thereby seeing good profits. HSBC have produced several such policies covering risk factors such as water and climate resilience, crop and forest protection and others (Becken et al. 2012). Present day houses and buildings are facing material durability problems, besides corrosion of steel, increased concrete carbonisation and quality of the timber getting deteriorated mainly because of the effect of global warming. Therefore construction houses are making good use of the opportunity as they are receiving expensive infrastructure, building as well as maintenance contracts. Companies dealing with scientific and technical activities are also flourishing due to the increas ed demand of inventing technologies and services that would provide effective solutions against climate change destruction thereby increasing climate resilience (Mills 2012). Organisational consultancies and management firms are also making good profit due to the increased demand of the services that the public, private and third sector companies for providing instructions and advices on climate resilience and policy making. Real estate are also incorporating higher sustainability credentials for consumers who are climate conscious and take steps for their own protection. Storage industries are also increased their cold storage facilities to meet the demand and thereby increase the customer base. Recycling industries also take opportunities of the water scarcity problem and in turn increase their profit margins. Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioner producing industry have got opportunity to provide consumers for effective space cooling technologies and both energy efficient a nd heating and cooling systems that are providing consumers with benefits and in turn they are very well expanding their markets (Carroll et al. 2014). From the entire essay one can easily come to a conclusion that there is a very few chance that the temperature would be decreasing in the coming generations. As a result, natural disasters are bound to occur in the coming generations. This problem has a propounding impact on business and industries of a country affecting the socio- economic stature of the country. Different types of climate changes thereby may have a direct or indirect effect on the business world that are indeed very costly for the sustenance of the consumers who in other terms are the ordinary people of the nature (Franks et al. 2014). Many industries may see their downfall due to not being able to cope up with their falling market. CDU thereby has taken an initiative to provide the organisations with suggestions so that they can take steps and participate in climate resilience activities. Various designs and policies can be adapted by them for reviving their status. On the other side of the effects, there are many industries which are taking the opportunities of the disasters caused by climate change and in turn increase their assets and resources making utmost utilisations of the chances available. The primary aim that one should take in the scenario is that how the temperature increases can be controlled so that the above complications do not arise and the world remains a happy dwelling place.

Sustainability: Ethical and Social Responsibility Dimensions Sample Essay When doing concern determinations that impact the environment. there are frequently hazards and issues that affect an organisation. It is of import to place those issues and hazards to advance sustainability. Stakeholders have concerns about different facets of the environment and how organisations should react to them through schemes and how they operate. A positive ethical civilization can be created when a concern shows concern for the environment. Harmonizing to Ferrell. Fraedrich and Ferrell ( 2011 ) â€Å"corporate societal duty public presentation has been found to increase employee’s company designation and commitment† ( p. A-2 ) . Essential Facts We will write a custom essay on Sustainability: Ethical and Social Responsibility Dimensions Sample specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now A major issue in the 21st century is the protection of our natural resources such as air. H2O. land. biodiversity. and renewable natural resources. Governments around the universe have responded to force per unit areas put on the sustainability of these resources by environmental protection Torahs. Companies have been progressively integrating these issues into their concern schemes to non merely cut down their ain environmental impact. but to make a repute as eco-responsible companies. Issues Raised Air pollution can harm animate beings. workss and organic structures of H2O. There is a significant sum of pollution that comes from semisynthetic beginnings such as from mills. autos. planes and trains that have an consequence on the quality of air we breathe. These conditions can cut down life spans and do chronic respiratory issues in animate beings and worlds. Some of the chemicals that are associated with air pollution have been known to lend to deliver defects. malignant neoplastic disease and other amendss to the human organic structure. Harmonizing to Ferrell. Fraedrich and Ferrell ( 2011 ) pollution can â€Å"also cause haze. which can cut down visibleness and interfere with traveling† ( p. A-2 ) . Global heating is believed by scientists to be accelerated by the concentrations of green house gases like methane and C dioxide in the ambiance. Burning of fossil fuels?gasoline. oil. natural gas and coal. has increased the concentrations of these nursery gases into the am biance. Water pollution affects one million millions of people every bit good as other animate beings and works life. Ferrell. Fraedrich and Ferrell ( 2011 ) province â€Å"water pollution is one of the biggest subscribers to illness in developing countries† ( p. A-3 ) . The chemicals that are found in common fertilisers and pesticides can run out into H2O supplies after a rainfall. Pollutants can come from a broad assortment of beginnings including from C emanations from autos that are absorbed into the ocean. Dumping of waste into our watercourses. rivers and oceans. every bit good as oil spills. industrial waste. and more contribute to the issue of H2O pollution. Water measure is besides a concern by many people due to the usage addition over the last two decennaries. Water is non merely needed to imbibe. it is besides used for harvests that feed us all. With less H2O available. nutrient harvests will non be as available. and concerns may endure because of it. Ferrell. Fraedrich and Ferrell ( 2011 ) province â€Å"one of the biggest factors in land pollution is the dumping of waste into landfills. † and landfills that are left untreated can take 1. 000 old ages to degrade. The U. S. entirely has up to 40. 000 abandoned landfills filled with plastics and other points like electronic waste that can let go of harmful toxins into the air and H2O ( p. A-4 ) . Deforestation is been on the rise because of the roar in bio-fuels. Trees are being cut down to do room for palm oil plantations or for raising sugar cane. Harmonizing to Ferrell. Fraedrich and Ferrell ( 2011 ) â€Å"the net incomes from deforestation for husbandmans are normally ephemeral as rainforest dirt is of hapless quality. This prompts low-income husbandmans to destruct more forest to eke out a living† ( p. A-4 ) . After World War II edifice roar. urban conurbation began. Ferrell. Fraedrich and Ferrell ( 2011 ) province â€Å" As the topographic points where people live. work. and store grew farther apart. peoples began passing more clip in cars driving greater distances† ( p.
