Types of ownership
Both Cadburys and Sainsbury's and plc’s (public limited companies).
Company registered as a plc under the provisions of the Companies Act
1980. The company’s name must carry the words ‘public limited company’
or initials ‘plc’ and must have authorized share capital over £50,000,
with £12,500 paid up – paid to the company by the shareholders. Plc’s
may offer shares to the public and are more tightly regulated than
limited companies. Converting a private limited company into a public
one has advantages, such as the ability to raise share capital.
However, it does have potential disadvantages, such as being subject
to the scrutiny of the financial media and city analysts (the
company’s financial records must be available for any member of the
public to scrutinize). If the founder of a plc perceives the company
share price to undervalue the company they may take the company
private once more, as Richard Branson did with Virgin in 1989.Selling
shares means that you can raise money quickly. A disadvantage of
selling shares is that it is very expensive. Limited companies are
owned by shareholders. These are people who own shares in the company.
Shares are the parts into which the value of the company is divided.
So if a business is valued at £100 million and there are 200 million
shares, each share will be worth 50 pence.
All shareholders have limited liability. They are only liable for the
amount they have put into the business. If a company closes down,
shareholders can only lose the money they have invested. They will not
be liable for anything else.
Limited companies are owned by their shareholders. Large limited

In “Reporting the News” by George C. Edwards III, Martin P. Wattenberg, and Robert L. Lineberry, the main idea is how the media determines what to air, where to get said stories that will air, how the media presents the news, and the medias effect on the general public. “Reporting The News” is a very strong and detailed article. The authors’ purpose is to inform the readers of what goes on in the news media. This can be inferred by the authors’ tone. The authors’ overall tone is critical of the topics that are covered. The tone can be determined by the authors’ strong use of transitions, specific examples, and phrases or words that indicate analysis. To summarize, first, the authors’ indicate that the media chooses its stories that will air

...he kindness of his emperor. Lin then hails his ruler's extraordinary Celestial grace. This grace could viewed as the emperor was hesitant to start confrontation with British forces. In other words, although the emperor ordered Commissioner Lin Zexu to end opium sales in Guangzhou and Guangdong, he was afraid of potentially starting war with the British. Lin's effort to solve the opium problem peacefully was highly favored and sanctioned by the emperor.

According to Corporation Act 2001 s124(1), it illustrates that ‘’A company has the legal capacity and powers of an individual both in and outside the jurisdiction” . As it were, company as a legal individual must be freely with all its capital contribution shall embrace liability for its legal actions and obligations of the company’s shareholders is limited to its investment to the company. This ‘separate legal entity’ principle was established in the case of Salomon v Salomon & Co Ltd [1987] as company was held to have conducted the business as a legal person and separate from its members. It demonstrated that the debt of company is belonged to the company but not to the shareholders. Shareholders have only right to participate in managing but not in sharing the company property. Besides ,the Macaura v Northern Assurance Co Ltd [1925] demonstrates that the distinction between the shareholders and company assets. It means that even Mr Macaura owned almost all the shares in the company, he had no insurable interest in the company’s asset. The other recent case is the Lee v Lee’s Air Farming Ltd [1961] which illustrates that the distinct legal entities between employee ad director allows Mr.Lee function in dual capacities. It resulted that the corporation can contract with the controlling member of the corporation.

The corporate governance within Ben & Jerry’s can be identified to use the two-tier management system as their board of directors is independent from the management (Benjerry.com, 2015). However, it can be argued that the board of directors from Unilever also act as board of directors for Ben & Jerry’s when it comes to financial and economic decisions, as well as the right to fire or hire the CEO at any given time. Ben & Jerry`s board of directors has the power to protect the brand, changes in product standards, introduction of new products and marketing decisions (Edmondson, 2014:

The Daoguang Emperor himself was an addict, as were most of his court. In 1838, the opium addict in China had grown to between four and twelve million. It was rumored that the viceroy of Canton was also involved in the opium trade himself, Carton located in the west of China, was the biggest port at the time. Along with many other members of imperial court profited from the trade in the form of bribes or as smugglers themselves. The opium trade had thoroughly corrupted the Chinese government as much as it had destroyed its citizens’ health. Lin first wrote a letter to Queen Victoria, he said, China offered its finest goods to British, such as tea, silk, and silver but got nothing but poison in return. He queried the Queen, Opium smoking is strictly forbidden in England because the harm caused by it is clearly understood. He demanded England to stop the exporting and planting of opium right way. Unfortunately, England’s foreign and commonwealth office thought the letter was arrogant and blind pride, turned down his request and refused to write
During the life of Nelson Mandela, South Africa was in complete segregation, having whites live a completely different life than blacks. The topic that I researched were the events that occurred in South Africa, from the time of 1918 to current day. I learned about an important South African man, Nelson Mandela, the man who dedicated his whole life for equality and freedom in South Africa and the ANC, a group of black South African men and women who were willing to protest the apartheid if it meant freedom for all citizens in South Africa. (African National Congress, “About”) Nelson Mandela has impacted everyone’s lives for the better and is an influential person not only to the citizens of South Africa, but to the whole world.
