    Complex in nature, one’s search for atonement is critical in the journey of self-exploration and understanding. Kazan’s classic On the Waterfront follows the protagonist, Terry in the multifarious and multifaceted changes he undergoes in the hostile environment to seek redemption. Certainly, his metamorphosis is driven by his burgeoning conscience to atone for his culpable part in Joey’s death and his ethical imperatives to be a good citizen. Kazan explores the idea of gaining acceptance and acknowledgment in the sacrificial deaths of Dugan and Charley. Father Barry’s liturgical role also elicits the deliverance of others. However, whilst Kazan imbues the importance of individuals seeking liberation from one’s past, it would be remiss to consider that the collective redemption of united longshoremen ultimately influences their long awaited victory. These paths taken by individuals may not in fact be the resulting impact of their squalid and sordid world, but the means of coming to grips with their respective pasts.…

    Crown Corporations - Lcbo

    • 564 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Crown Corporations are government-owned entities (Stastna, Kazi.). An example includes the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). LCBO stores are the only stores, in Ontario, allowed to distribute liquor and other distilled beverages; therefore, LCBO is a monopoly ("Beverage Alcohol Service Review: A Matter of Balance"). The main purpose of this regulation is to limit the consumption of such products in Ontario – for better health ("Beverage Alcohol Service Review: A Matter of Balance"). However, the government ownership of LCBO may not be ideal. The corporation should be privatized because its products do not benefit everyone in Ontario, and because privatization may be better for the economy.…

    The Blackstone Group

    • 640 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Blackstone Group’s decision to file an initial public offering (IPO) involved the development of the compensation system, protection of the limited partners (LP), structure of the public ownership, and an accounting transition in order to alleviate problems that would arise. Blackstone was required to establish a new compensation package that addressed partners carried interests as well as compensation for investment professionals and staff members that allowed each party to be no worse off than they were before. In a solution to this problem a dynamic vesting structure was to be implemented that was unique to each business line. Additionally, Blackstone prevented the dilution of the LPs by offering a 10 percent stake in a general partner, therefore protecting the LP investments. Furthermore, through the use of a Master of Limited Partnership structure Blackstone was able to maintain their governance structure and maximize the LP’s interests. As the firm only conducted its accounting on a tax basis with different financials for each business line it would need to create firm-wide GAAP-compliant statements. In the process of creating compliant statements Blackstone would be required to incur a $17 billion future noncash charge (value of vesting shares issued to the firm’s existing owners and equity to employees) to their earnings. As a result Blackstone curbed this issue with the development of a metric called “economic net income” which showed portrays a more accurate earnings report excluding charges related to vesting shares.…
