Business Card The business card for Henry and his regiment shows just how inexperienced he is. With so few battles that he has fought back in, his regiment was used for dangerous suicide missions like we saw in the second to last battles Henry was a part of. This creates a split of views between Henry's regiment and the generals. As Henry's regiment sees it they have fought hard; however, from the generals point of view their regiment sacrifices don't add up to other more experienced regiments.
Unit 5: Understanding Business 1.2. There are three different types of business structures and each has its own responsibilities, they are private, public and third. Businesses that are in the private sector are a sole trader so the owner is responsible for all activities that are run within the business and has unlimited liability for debts, however as they are sole traders they are often able to set up a partnership and share skills but that also means sharing profits. Businesses in the public sector are governmental departments, this includes ministerial departments who implement government policices, non ministerial departments who are run by a board and are not linked to any political parties and finally agencies, these are non governmental agencies that provide servies to goverment organisations and receive funding from the government. The final business structure is the third sector and this includes charities and organisations that are non profit, trustees and members are responsible for any debts.

In the fourth paragraph, there are a series of rhetorical questions that represent the absurdity of the business culture. “What, I would ask my father, is better to argue with?

He purports, that business people initiate the Character of God by representing God on earth through various business activities and that each activity falls into categories that represent unique opportunities to bring glory to God: private ownership, productivity, employment, commercial transactions (buying and selling), profit, using money as a medium of exchange, producing inequalities in possessions, competition, borrowing and lending and reducing world
In fact, “by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain” (CR 88) wanting to maximize his profit while minimizing his costs. So, instead of increasing the wages of their workers, they would instead keep their wages low and keep the money they earned. The owner wants an “industry that produces the greatest value” (CR 88) which would lead one to infer that they just should not give the workers a salary. However, although the company owners “neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it” (CR 88) because of the need to raise the wages of workers.
