    According to the Anna Richo, Amgen's Chief Compliance Officer, Amgen strives to conduct business in the "highest ethical manner". According to the site, Amgen each employee will be held accountable for any unethical practices. The code of conduct clearly states that all staff members are required to adhere to the laws, and act on good judgment. Kickbacks are illegal and deemed unethical in the United States. Kickbacks, sometimes referred to as bribery, are payments given or received with the intention of influencing another to gain from a situation and/or transaction. In the medical industry, doctors are often given samples from pharmaceutical companies to give to patients. This practice is common and is not illegal. However, when the doctor agrees to prescribe a particular medication or refer a particular specialist doctor and in exchange for a return, this is where the illegal process begins. In the Amgen 2009 case, the biotech company offered kickback to medical providers to boost sales. Pharmaceutical representatives influenced physicians to bill Medicaid for the anemia drug Aranesp, which were given free. The company made a profit of $15 million from the top-selling drug in exchange for giving doctors expense paid vacations (Zimmerman, 2009). Medicaid, a health program paid by taxpayers, not only had to pay for the medication billed, but for the bills for the problems the medication caused the patients.…

    My current networking strategies are different in comparison to my past networking strategies. Over the years I have realized how important networking is and that it is something that you must tend to over time in order to reap benefits from it in the future. After all, the United States Bureau of Labor of Statistics stated that 70% of jobs are obtained through networking (Caullay). In the past I used to only have friends, family members, and fellow church members included in my close network. Now, I have expanded my network to also consist of my past and current classmates. I think it would also be a great idea to include special interest groups in your network because the people you associate with in the groups can see your professional and general professionalism. Another networking strategy that has changed with me is that I no longer expect immediate results. As I stated before, a network is something that you must obtain over time and receive benefits from in the future. I think it would also be a great idea to broadcast your job search. I used to only send in a cover letter with a resume to companies that I was interested in being employed by. Now, I send a detailed cover letter with a resume to everyone in my network. I do so because most jobs are obtained through word of mouth, and having a broad network will really help that word travel to the right people.…

    The US is facing many critical problems, but one that does stand out has to be unemployment and the government not wanting to work for the people. I do agree that some Americans are unemployed for various reasons, but there certainly has to be a limit for that. I'm sure more than half of the unemployed Americans in the US are on welfare, which also puts a damper on the economy. I can use many examples of people I know. There's people who choose to unemployed, because they're just LAZY! They enjoy to just collect all of the “freebies” offered by welfare. The government, to me seem like they really don't work for the people. They can never come to simple agreements, and from what I was reading on the Fox news link, I really agree that they should use a third party, when making decisions.…
