Accountig

Accounting seems like a boring job, but it's vital for any business.

"the measurement, disclosure or provision of assurance about financial information that helps managers, investors, tax authorities and others make decisions about allocating resources."


I know there are audibles and they are like accountants and there's treasures that handle and keep care of the money.


I know nothing of this.

Bad Rep

When some thing they do that could be considered "bad" surfaces in the media (like Nikes sweatshop scandal). I thing some business could be blamed when really it was not their fault, I can't really think of an example of when that has happened but I'm sure it happens. I think if a business stop whatever is considered "bad" then maybe the media could re think the way they're showing a certain business

Justin Allan-Tripping TEDtalks

He's thinking outside the box. Which, in business is the thing that makes or breaks companies. His idea started from seeing a picture 18 years ago and from that idea he has made a product (whether or not it will actually works) that people who care about the planet (which is a lot of people) will want. It's a product people have been waiting for. This is a good business idea because people have not thought of it.

Morals

When I first read it I though it was contradicting but then I remembered some peoples morals aren't always the right thing.
Here's an example:
a month after the Columbine High School Massacre the National Rifle Association went to Denver even though the Mayor asked them not to come to the tour date out of respect of the people affected on April 20th. The NRA still went to Littleton because of their conservative morals that they have the American freedom to go wherever the please. But what they did was not the right thing to do. it was inconsiderate of what happened a few months before their visit.

What would you do?

- Your friend asks you to add a few extra hours to a work time sheet for him, but you know that he did not put in the time? I would ad one hour, or maybe 30 minutes but fair is fair

 - A salesperson in an electronics store offers to sell you an iPod after hours at a discounted price?
Depends on the iPod and how much he's selling it for. But I don't think I would because I don't have a need  for one.

 - You are aware that the teller gave you back too much money when completing a banking transaction?

I'd give it back. No questions asked.

Occupy

I think the criticism is kinda dumb. If the protesters want to protest then they should. Clearly what's been happening in America has been effecting the world and even if it hasn't been effecting Canada as much they still have the right to protest about whatever they like.

I think the reason it's so viral is because it's not like 99% of the of the lower population know the 1% of the population and how they feel, they just sorta make stereotypes about them being stuck up and then we find this girl on wall street thats part of the 1% and makes the 99% re-think what they label the rich as.

Protests on Wall Street


  • Who is Occupy Wallstreet about? people who dont like whats going on on Wall Street. Jobless people. people on debt
  • What happened? Wall street tricking corporations in to huge debts. People on Wall Street have 60% of the wealth.
  • Where did it take place? Started on wall street but there are now many protests about whats going on on wall street
    • When did it take place? Started in September and still going
  • Why did it happen? Pretty much the same reasons as what.
  • How did it happen? I guess people just joined together and realized that it is a serious problem and totally unfair

Goals


I would like to say that MY goal for this coffee shop is to make this project actually have a meaning and make some sort of difference. It's not a SMART goal but it's my goal

1. Why do you want to achieve your business goal?
I honestly truthfully think that this could get people in a better mood at the school. It'll effort but I think making school a better place is worth the extra effort that will have to be put into it.

2. Is the business goal energizing?
It is for me, just thinking about it gets me excited and wanting to jump into it

3. What will it look like when you get there?
Just more happy people in the morning at school, having a better time in the morning at school which can lead to feeling good for the rest of your day. One simple idea of having fresh warm coffee right when you get to school can make 99.9% people at the school feel better and feel good.
