What are some examples of government intervention in industry?
Way back? - In 1791 a tax that was designed to hit the small producers harder than the big corporations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskey_Reb... - After the War of 1812, high tariffs to protect the industries in the northern colonies from competition from the much more efficient British producers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariffs_in_... - In the mid-1800s, major subsidies to the railroads: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Rai... - As long as unions have been trying to organize, the governments (local, state, and federal) have helped bust the unions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_labor_unions_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_busting#Taxpayer-financed_union_busting_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan#Air_traffic_controllers.27_strike - In the early 1970s, President Nixon imposed wage and price controls: http://www.econreview.com/events/wageprice1971b.htm etc. And then there are all the regulations: - FDA with its food and drug regulations - EPA with environmental regulations - the Justice Dept with (just a few) anti-monopoly cases - the FCC with its regulation of radio, television, etc. - professional certification requirements (everyone from doctors and lawyers to crane operators) - local communities with their zoning rules and business licenses All that makes a Mixed Economy "mixed": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_economy
What are some examples of government interventions?
Before I try to answer this question, let me first question the question itself. The question is not complete. Government intervention in what? In politics? Economy? Society? Election? Market?Let me assume that the question is about government intervention in market. In this case government intervenes to stabilize market instability. For example, if the macroeconomy shows unreasonable price increase in a short period of time, the government may intervene. In this case, the government may set prices for certain goods to protect the society from market manipulation. Most often, this is done either by importing goods or by subsiding communities or setting prices.We can take coca cola as an example here. If the price of a bottle of coca cola increases in an unreasonable price, it has meaningful effective on the aggregate price of coca cola in that particular country. This inturn affects the purchasing power of the people. If it is not controlled shortly, it might grow into a national crisis particularly into a political chaos. This politico-economic crisis should be controlled by the state by various means; one is taxing the rich, other subsiding the poor, and last importing in this case coca cola. These are short time solutions. Yet, the government needs to come up with a long time and sustainable solutions to the crisis.Note: today, only some governments intervene in the market particularly the social democratic countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Norway etc. Many capitalist countries on the other hand believe that demand and supply can regulate each other. That means there is no need for a government to intervene in the market. However, it should be noted carefully that government intervention in the market system is one of the most controversial issues in political economy of our time.
What are some examples of corruption in a government?
The notion the we need to ‘privatize’ or as it is better described, ‘profitize’ our public services. We have many services which are paid for via our tax dollars, like schools, police, fire services and prisons. There is only so much money in the budget (pie) to pay for this, why would any sane person think it could be done better if we turn it over to the ‘private sector’ who expects a profit on top of it all and very likely multi million dollar salaries for a CEO? It is not possible to have these profits and multimillion dollar salaries without cutting services. Long story short, that means much less of the pie goes to schools.This whole “profitize it” iis a scam, for republicons to have our tax dollars funneled into their businesses. Wouldn't we all like to have a business where we could kick back and depend on billions of government guarenteed tax dollars to flow into our businesses? This is also called corporate welfare, which suck away a lot more of our tax dollars that any welfare programs for people and sure as heck is not any kind of self reliance. That is some government corruption going on across the country, at every level, in every state.

What are some examples of Cultural Differences?
There are obvious cultural differences that exist between peoples, such as language, dress and traditions, there are also significant variations in the way societies organise themselves, in their shared conception of morality, and in the ways they interact with their environment. It is debatable whether these differences are merely incidental artefacts arising from patterns of human migration or whether they represent an evolutionary trait that is key to our success as a species. By analogy with biodiversity, which is thought to be essential to the long-term survival of life on earth, it can be argued that cultural diversity may be vital for the long-term survival of humanity; and that the conservation of indigenous cultures may be as important to humankind as the conservation of species and ecosystems is to life in general.
In the economy, what are some good examples of government intervention?
When a government announces any rule or low, it's an example of government intervention.Here are some examples:Fiscal Policy: Let's say the country is facing a recession. The government announces that it is going to cut the taxes. What happens? You are earning the same but after tax cuts, you have more disposable income, so you'll spend more. This way, the aggregate demand will increase, companies will produce more and hire more. This will bring economy on track eventually. If the government would not have intervened, the results would have been disastrous, just like the Great Depression of 1929.Price Floors: Recently in the budget, the Finance Minister of India Mr. Arun Jaitley announced that the government will insure that farmers get 1.5 times their MSP, no matter how much they grow. This is a classic example of government intervention because if the free market was allowed to play it's part, the prices would have been less than that. So, in this case, the price is set to some minimum value and the government ensures that it'll help provide the minimum price.Price Ceilings: This happens when a price of a good or service increases just because the demand is very high and supply is limited (naturally or intentionally). In this case, the government sets a maximum price above which nobody can sell that good or service. Example is the Indian government announcing the maximum price of stents used in heart operations.I hope you got your answer!That's all!

Why are business ethics important?
Business ethics are important to ensure the integrity and trustworthiness of a company. For example, right now BP is leaking millions of gallons of oil into the sea. Its business practices are being called into question because they are being investigated. Ethically, since they knew they were operating faulty equipment, they could be held financially responsible for the cleanup, not to mention being morally responsible for the deaths and possible extinction of sea creatures and wildlife. Because of this incredible disaster, confidence in the company has plummeted, the stock has fallen, and the company is scrambling to salvage its reputation. It's the same thing with Tiger Woods, to give you a completely different example. Because of his marital infidelities, certain extremely lucractive endorsement deals went south. His golf has suffered, his reputation has suffered, and his wallet has suffered. Although he is an individual, he is also a business. Because of how he had portrayed himself in the past, his complete lack of personal ethics affected his business. Hope that helps.
What are the examples of something which is unethical but not illegal and vice-versa?
This is an interesting question, since laws and morals generally overlap. The two are not coextensive, however.Many laws are paternalistic - they are intended to require us to act in certain ways out of a concern for our well being; that is, they are motivated by prudential considerations. But prudence is not necessarily an ethical consideration (although it may be, under some circumstances). > Consider motorcycle helmets: most states require that the operator of and riders on a motorcycle wear helmets. However, is wearing a helmet an ethical requirement? Certainly it is prudent. It is careless to not wear a helmet. It is risky. But careless and risky do not mean something is unethical/immoral.> Also consider guns. In many states it is required that one have a permit to carry a concealed handgun, and some states prohibit is altogether. However, while I hate to admit it (I do believe we need strict laws regulating firearms), it is not unethical to carry a weapon, concealed or otherwise. It may be stupid, it may be reckless, it may be dangerous, but I cannot see where it would be unethical or immoral to carry a gun.There is an important qualification here, however. It is unethical to violate an appropriately enacted law that does not, in itself, violate principles of ethics. If the law is moral, you have a moral obligation to obey it. This becomes a sort of catch-22: if something is determined by law, but where that thing is either ethical or non-ethical, one is (ethically/morally) obligated to obey the law (although there would be ethical grounds for violating a law that required one to engage in unethical activity).On the flip side -It used to be legal to own slaves in the U. S. (and is considered legal/permissible in some places today), but it is always unethical to "own" a human being. In certain Islamic governments it is legal (according to Sharia law) to stone someone to death for the offense of adultery. This would be summarily unethical, however.Fortunately, unethical laws (i.e., laws that permit/require immoral activity) tend to be overthrown once the general public becomes aware of the fact that the law violates the principles of ethical behavior.
