Breakaway

“What nail polish should I use?” 17 year old Camille Belcourt asked her best friend Magnus Bane. “Magnus, did you hear me?” She waved a carrot stick in front of his face. “Hellooo??” “Um, use the dark grey with the purple sparkles over it. Who's that kid over there? Is he new?" “Please don’t tell me you have a new crush.” She put her head in her hand, which was actually very hard considering she was painting her nails. “Which one?” She followed his gaze. “The one with the black hair.” “Uh oh, no, Magnus don’t even think about it. That’s Alec Lightwood. He’s one of the most popular kids in our school, right after his adopted brother Jace Herondale. He’s straight.” Camille warned him. “No he’s not. Look at how he stares at Jace. Now compare that to how I’m staring at him.” Camille looked back and forth between them. “Ok, maybe he’s not straight but he has a crush on Jace.” “Jace’s dating Clary.” He reminded her. “Isn’t there a football game this Friday?” He asked. “Yeah, everybody is going to the carnival afterwards.” “I bet you that I will be dating him by Friday.” “Bet.” “Bet.” The bell rang, ending lunch. When Magnus got to French Ms. Bellefleur, came up to him with a clipboard. “Magnus, I’ve partnered everybody up for a project. Your partner is,” She consulted the clipboard, “Alec Lightwood, he has the information sheet.” “Alec is in this class?” He asked. “Yeah, he’s been in this class for the whole year.” She responded, and then walked away to another student. Magnus…

"Wait for me?" "No." "Come on give me like 2 more minutes," I pleaded, running around my house like a crazy woman. "Fine," Regina said, rolling her eyes and plopping down on my couch. Ok I just needed to find the perfect shoes to go with my dress... I went to my room and looked under my bed for my plain black flats. Since I was going to a party, I was trying to avoid my feet hurting from heels. "Got it!" I yelled from my room and walked to the living room where Regina was now standing.…

I reach my hand out, groaning into my pillow as I press the snooze on my alarm clock for what must be the hundredth time this morning. “Honey, you need to walk up or you may be late now do we?” She says in this cheery voice that always makes me happier. “Okay mom. I’m getting up.” I say, and finally roll out of bed. While getting ready, I can’t but feel a little excited to see my best friend, Krystal, for no reason. Krystal should have been named Sunny because She was always cheerful and…

What are the ethical and legal issues at stake in this scenario? Karl has to deal with some ethical and possibly legal issues in the marketing of his game “Breakaway”. Ethically he has to figure out if it is acceptable to market a game that focuses on nudity, violence, and gambling. As far as legal issues, is it legal to market these things in foreign countries and even online. If they can market this game in other countries they will have to change portions of the game for each of the…

Karl is facing major challenges between his personal ethics and the lack of an ethical culture in the Bounce Corporation (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2013). Marketing to compulsive personalities, increasingly violent scenes to interact with, and using sex as a reward, are the three primary ethical issues being faced in the Breakaway project. Not only does Karl need to stand his ground with moving forward with this project in the U.S., but also as it relates to other markets. Through Karl’s…

The three primary ethical issues of the Breakaway project are gambling, violence and sex. The game lured the user in by offering credits to advance in the game. This behavior is very similar to the compulsive gambler. The company was plotting to entice the user to buy more credits to get further in the game just as casinos do luring the gambler in by showing winners receiving millions of dollars. The positive in the game is providing entertainment to the non-compulsive users. These customers are…

values than our own. A change in perspective. An alteration of outlook. A modification of the way you see things. However you say it, these words symbolise an adjustment of ideas that takes a person from one way of thinking to another. People in our lives can positively and negatively affect the way we view the world. They can influence and shape our perspectives. A catalyst is required for a change in perspective. It can be anything that alters your outlook on life, such as past…

two more points and I would have tied for fourth place and would have made it in the goat tying. I was really devastated that all my friends were going and I had missed it by only a couple points. All I could think about was what could have I done differently, what could I do to better my runs. The rest of the summer I kept practicing and going to some other rodeos until school started. That winter I practiced a lot, I worked hard at goat tying, barrel racing, and break- away roping. When the…

This was every American hockey athlete’s dream in the Olympics, to face Canada for the gold. The game began with a fast pace and before I knew it the score was still 0-0, with two minutes left in the game. As the final seconds tick by, both teams knew it would be decided by a single goal in sudden death overtime. It began with a few rushes by Canada, but as soon as they shot the puck, I was heading the other way for a breakaway. As I was about to shoot, the opposing player hooked me, causing me…
