From the very inception, the human is a moral being whether we accept it or not. It is a fact & not an invention or reinvention. It's called natural morality. Sticking to that morality is a vital process to promote a culture of morals. U go against natural laws, don't blame others if they encave u when u commit murder, theft or sexual transgressions. Because we are custodians of natural laws. Once we begin to adapt sexual transgressions, we should also be prepared to unconditionally justify murder, theft, etc in the name of lack, poverty, greed or just the mere pleasure of it. Homosexuality is a careful calculated choice and the highest form of sexual misconduct and transgression perpetrated by those with the intent to reinvent morals.

I disagree with Petra 1986 commenting that it isn't a choice for one to be homosexual. I bet you is an intended choice. It's simple as that. You want to get married, is a choice one makes and that person exercises that choice in a far greater level by picking just one person in a thousand trillion of people in this world to be their partner. I got my beliefs that are rooted deep in the core of natural morality. Sticking to that morality is vital to promote a culture of morals. U go against natural laws, don't blame others if they encave u when u commit murder, theft or sexual transgressions (is no discrimination). Because we are custodians of natural laws. Once we begin to adapt sexual transgressions, we should also be prepared to justify murder, theft, etc in the name of lack, poverty, greed or just the mere pleasure of it.

The chosen title does not relate so well with the essay. A reader would expect a full outline of the PR communication process. Rather the author attempts to explain what PR is. Although PR is an element of DELL's communication mix, i would more than 60% differ with the author's claim that PR is the silver bullet behind the success of Dell's direct selling model. Besides, weak allusion statement such as "While most people think...(2nd line)" should be avoided without supporting facts.

The stream of ideas are good and coherent. Nonetheless, the author's citation is a big flaw, and weakens what could have been a nicest piece of write-up. The reader actually wants to see concise sources of the author's citations rather than weak allusions such as "Research shows that...Other research in the US...In Isreal..." Given the amount of research done in this area, the author should have avoided frequent use of "can". The author ought to rephrase the "can" phrases with more difinitive statements or evidence from expertise in this realm of study.

Great and concise analysis, yet the title is misleading. From first impression, one would imagine the author disecting a cultural tension within Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart". The reader then realises, the author is attempting to pit Achebe's Umoufia against Western cultural institutions. I suggest the author to pit Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" with a western novelist such as Thomas Hardy's "The Mayor of Casterbridge" to bring out the issue of cultural tension.

Indeed; the entire essay focuses on one lone factor-Employee empowerment as the factor behind Microsoft success. Microsoft success in so many ways goes beyond what this essay capitalises on. The success of microsoft should be seen on the Company's competitve advantages over its competitors. Look at the strategic alliances Microsoft has forged with other companies. Although, successful, Windows comes in no way in matching the power of Mac OS Tiger. Ofcourse, Apple has a strong enployment policy for its employees. That hasn't made Apple successful in the PC market. Hence, microsoft success is accredited to multiple strategic directions the Company has pursued overtime.

Am familiar with Chinua Achebe's works. I suggest, you should have treated your essay as a critique of Achebe's works, not a straight narrative for an academic forum like this. Just to give you an insight, look at his works try as much to expose the themes he pursues or how he conveys his themes through African folklore. Better still, pit him against other African writers, & draw a critique about their styles and overall diction within the Africa folklore.

The strength in this work lies in the author's mastery of marketing concepts and their application in solving real life problems. Great work indeed!

A major player like Apple in the computing and digital industry, for a case study is too shallow.

Indeed, the Iraq issue is quite relevant given its ramifications still felt today. However, i strongly disagree with the author postulation that the "United States acted unilaterally in its effort to bring democracy to Iraq". As far as the world conceived at the time, weapons of mass distruction was the original premise the US so strongly justified to the world for the invasion of Iraq. Just as the author stated, opposition to the war was grounded on the basis, it would contraven international law against unilateralism. That alone rendered the war unethical and illegal as postulated by UN secretary general Koffi Annan. Democracy wasn't the reason for war; infact regime change was the hidden agenda for Bush's hawkish regime.
