Tax avoidance can not be morally justified because individuals and business organisations are expected to give to the state a fair value from the privileges it enjoys for living or operating in the state it resides. Take a look at this article on Starbucks use of law to deny UK of it's...

In a country with functioning systems the citizens should be happy with the tax system even when tax is paid on everything. After all, the levy would be use for the benefit of all.
What would you say of a country that collects tax and yet nothing seems to be working? I wish I have the opportunity of living in a country that things work. I would gladly pay...

Despite the arguments for tax avoidance sounded convincing to me earlier, these arguments went down better to me. Recalling the starbucks tax avoidance article in the previous section makes this more convincing to me.

Sound convincing if I must say. However the challenges might sprout from the fact that each country has different loopholes for tax avoidances. Therefore, these argument could be improved if .....

Moral objectivist is what I am more inclined towards. This is because what is right shouldn't be subject to time and place but rather on facts.
I think British people care about tax avoidance now because they now know how tax levies shape the economy and tax avoidance is like depriving Caesar of his dues.

My view has changed drastically.
I am one of the many who think that I have got nothing to hide nor worry about, hence I don't bother to read T and Cs, but click the button and then carry go any thing that involves privacy and the use of my personal data.Now I know that things could go warry and my personal data could be compromised and my security hijacked.

Before reading the Cambridge analytical files in the see also section my opinion was that I would accept the offer made by the political party basing it on the fact that, we are actually who we are without apology. As in, if the campaign wants to Target the LGBTQ, why not.

The chilling effect of our data getting out of hands can never be over rated.

I see it differently from your view point.
In this particular scenario, the big data algorithm had helped simplify the difficulty the teenage girl would have gone in trying to get items she would need as an expectant mother. -
How Facebook had become the world's largest echo chamber is very insightful.
Now I know more why Gerald Colan-O'Leary is so agants tracking of personal data.
In all, I am becoming concerned about "ownership and privacy" of my private data most especially when it has to do with security.

Knowledge is indeed key to liberation.
How much do I even know of my data that is being collected before fighting for my rights?
If not for this course, I might never had known privacy rights and how invaluable our data are to businesses.
At this juncture, I think I am still very comfortable giving out my data so as to get customised or targeted adverts.
-
Irrelevant advertisements could be very frustrating and annoying. However, a relevant advert could spur your desire to have what you have been craving for but not knowing how to go about it.

Since Science involves the pursuit of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena, understanding the fact that surrounds business profit is a phenomena under real word scenarios.

I understand more English than my own language. Therefore, teaching accounting in English isn't a big deal for me and the majority of my students. This is because the medium of instruction from the elementary schools has been English.
However, this doesn't overrule the fact that, most of us need to perfect our English understanding. Of course, we do make...

I think the 5 whys approach can help me in solving this my personal problem:

I think not having recent credit history should be a plus to the borrower since it will show that they were able to live without debt for some time. Therefore, I think credit reporting is fair tool.

Now I must ask, must I always include the "available at URL and date accessed" of every online source?
What if I can't find it or do not remember the day I accessed it.
Can I ignore it and then referenced it as it it were a printed copy?
Could doing that amount to dishonesty? -

I have never been worried about the sources because never have I gone outside of my lecturer notes.
I have never experienced information overload if not now that I am in search of a PhD.
Now I know why I am not a critical thinker, it is just because my University never exposed us to the task.
Anyways, I have no choice now than to develop the skills....

I am not fortunate to school where exposed to critical thinking. I have never gone beyond the notes I take in the class. I accept whatever my lecturer offers and I give back same during exams.

I need to concentrate more. The exercise wasn't that easy for me.
I understand justification but claims and evidences are far out of reach to me.
This is worrisome, since my aim in undertaking this course is to be sound in academic research skills.
Or is it that I am not proficient in English?
