Document Summary

Pages 5-15: we get the sense that this is a post-apocalyptic world. The ignorance of the natives towards common phrases and things. He is the last human inhabited by different species (who we later learn are the crakers). He hallucinates that there are other humans (oryx & crake) with him who speak with him regularly; however, he knows that they are only in his head. With this word, we see that snowman"s mind and ability to comprehend his surroundings are deteriorating. We know for sure that snowman is the only human around, and we know that there are beings of another species inhabiting the land. Moreover, in the section where snowman is expressing his depression at the fact that he"s the only human, he yells crake! Asshole!", thus, we conclude that maybe this crake character has something to do with the condition that snowman is living in. Pages 19-34: summarize jimmy"s earliest memory and explain it"s significance.

Financial analysis, key concept week 3

A perplexing issue, particularly for many human resource management and marketing professionals, is the absence of a valuation in the traditional financial statements relating to human capital and other internally generated intangible assets, such as brands. Often these value drivers of an organisation form a critical key success factor. Goodwill does appear in many financial statements and this includes intangible assets acquired by another organisation, which are often subject to large impairments losses. However, this raises questions about the sustainability and volatility relating to goodwill valuations. It is against this background that accountants have decided to be cautious in respect of recognising intangible assets in the financial statements.

To prepare for this Key Concept Exercise:

Read the Required Learning Resources forWeek 3.
Consider the controversy of whether human capital should be included in the financial statements.
Consider how human capital could be defined and quantified in financial statements.

In formulating your Key Concept Exercise, consider the following questions:

How do you define human capital?
What is the importance of human capital?
What are the reasons to measure or not measure human capital?

In an approximately 500-word response, address the following issues/questions:

With the rise of the âknowledge economyâ, the traditional valuation of an enterprise as consisting solely of measurable assets, such as buildings, equipment and inventory, is increasingly being questioned. Human capital, although widely recognised as an important component of an enterpriseâs total value, does not appear on a statement of financial position (balance sheet).

Discuss whether or not you believe human capital should be included in the financial statements. Identify how you are defining human capital. What are some of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to quantify and record this (these) asset(s)? If recorded, would such values remain constant or be subject to change?

To complete this Key Concept Exercise:

Be sure to read over your Key Concept Exercise before submitting it to your Instructor. Make sure the spelling and grammar are correct and the language, citing and referencing you use when providing your opinion are appropriate for academic writing.

QUESTION 5

Which of the following are common critiques of eugenics? More than one answer my be correct.

		Conventionally positive traits such as "beauty," "intelligence," or "creativity" are not likely the result of a single gene, but are rather the results of complex genetic factors as well as social and environmental conditions. So, selecting for these positive traits would not be very easy or effective.

		If we have the ability to improve the human race, then we ought to do it.
		Some genetic conditions, like Down syndrome, hereditary deafness, and autism provide valuable diversity to the world and should therefore not be eliminated from the population.
