International Business Themes and Issues

Question: Discuss about the International Business for Themes and Issues. Answer: International trade International trade is increasing day by day, every country whether big or small are engaged in providing goods and services across the globe. Globalization integrated the worlds economy which has helped in accelerating the trade process. However it has thrown a major challenge on the international economic institutions. A global business complication has increased due to expansion of trade practices across the border. The global demography and economy is changing the overall structure of conducting business. It has led to ample of opportunities and a platform to the new organizations. However it has affected the major issues regarding structuring of the business, secondly making a business contracts across the borders. Business structure refers to the type of business one is planning to pursue (Johnson and Turner, 2004). There are major global strategies to expand business over sea which are, either through joint venture, strategic alliances, collaboration, etc. It is necessary to a dopt a global strategy to triumph over the international market (McDonald et al, 2002). Any industry jumping in without any strategy will probably be defeated in its objective. The world understands the importance of global business and its necessity due to increase in opportunities. Global business focuses on utilizing the resources of the host country to increase the productivity. The international business environment has been changing at a rapid speed. There is a requirement to keep a check on the political, economical, and legal issues of the host country. Every country has a different system of conducting business, therefore it is important to understand the local environment and the issues related to expansion of the business. International trade has led to majority of serious legal issues across the border which needs to be dealt as per the regulations and treaties (Keillor and Kannan, 2011). Legal aspect of International Trade As a result of globalization, the world understands the need of balancing the legal system while doing international trade. Due to increase in role of international trade the world is moving towards the technological era. World is moving towards use of international trade across the borders with the different national governments which creates a mutual contract between the parties. The mutual contract creates a legal obligation on the parties which sometimes causes legal contingency. This happens due to one party disagreement to perform its obligation or doing an act beyond its power. Every country has its own law and order while conducting international business which is essential to follow the rules and guidelines by the trading company (Schaffer et al., 2014). The process of sale of goods and services creates a legal contract between the parties. International trade can lead to international legal dispute if any party commits any act which is not mentioned in the contract. It crea tes a problem in deciding the jurisdiction, law enforcement, applicability of law, and the explanation of procedures of the parties. This issue not only includes individual party but involves conflict with the state on the issue related with the legal aspects of business transaction. They are settled either by appointing an arbitrator or through international tribunals. There are end numbers of treaties signed among various countries to settle the legal dispute. Wherever a business crosses its border it raises the concern related to legal problems. Depending on the venture one has to research the current legislations and issues which are related to the trade law and customs. Legal aspects are given more importance to conduct fair trade practices. Legal environment has led to some serious issues which need to be dealt significantly under the strict guidelines (McGovern, 2016). A government of every country is keeping a check on the trade practices by simplifying the trade laws. Busin ess expansion is significant for any organization for its future growth. A legal activity has created urgency in the development of better trade practices. The international trade law provides safety against the adversities which are arising at the international platform. Custom law is accepted as a source of leading the trade practices across the border. In the United States the government has created a foreign trade zone adjacent to the port, which is utilized for the purpose of promoting trade practices. The foreign companies are allowed to practice trade freely with certain privileges. The act is under the supervision of U.S. Customs and Border Protection under the United States Homeland Security Council. There are nearly 230 foreign trade zone projects and near about 400 subzones in the United Sates (U.S. FOREIGN-TRADE ZONES,2016) (Enforcement and Compliance,.2016). The report discusses a prominent case law related to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934 (Hinkelman,2005). Issues The foreign trade act 19 USC authorizes the establishment of foreign trade zone within the United States for this purpose the act has appointed a board to grant corporations (public or private as defined in the case law) the autonomy of organizing, operating, and maintaining foreign-trade zones closest to the ports under the authority of the United States. It allows carrying merchandise into the foreign trade zone without violating any custom law of land (Linderfalk, 2007) (Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 2016). Nissan has bought in heavy machinery without seeking permission from the custom department inside the free trade zone. Nissan argued that the machinery is a part of merchandise as mentioned clearly in the act. It imported production machinery for use in the subzone which included a highly mechanical, integrated system of engineering robots, computerized conveyors and other mechanized interface. Nissan further mentioned that the proposed final arrangement of the machinery is capable of carrying testing of equipments for the manufacturing of the machinery. Custom disagree on the ground that the goods which are bought in is not a part of the merchandise which is mentioned in the act. Custom postponed assessment of duty as the machinery were completely installed and tested in full scale production of the automobile in the subzone. C.S.D. 82-103, 16 Cust. Bull. 869, 870 (March 4, 1982). The issue related to the case is whether the machinery imported by Nissan from Japan into a U.S. subzon e for use in the production of motor vehicles is subject to duty or not(Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corp. v. United States: An Update in Foreign Trade Zone Law, 2016)? Rule As per the Foreign Trade Zones Act, 19 U.S.C. 81a-81u (1982), it has authorized the establishment of free trade zones in the United States. The board has an authority to put the conditions and restrictions and various other regulations as per the laws. The board has a right to grant the status to the corporation, it can help in establishing, operating, and maintaining foreign trade zones adjoining to ports of entry under the jurisdiction of the United States. The power to the number of zones is limited by the board. The board has a right to increase the number of zone if the current zones are unable to solve the purpose. As per the rule the zones are established for providing free trade which establishes the rule that merchandise are free from any custom duty. No organization has an authority to include anything which is not mentioned in the act. The zones are operated under the guidelines mentioned in the law (Nissan Motor Mfg. Corp., U.S.A., Plaintiff-appellant, v. the United Stat es, Defendant-appellee, 884 F.2d 1375 (Fed. Cir. 1989), 2016). The rule further states that the Merchandise may be brought into a foreign trade zone for the purposes which is mentioned in the statue without ignoring the custom laws of the United States." 19 U.S.C. 81c (1982). The act allows the entry of the goods subject to the general rule of statutory construction: expressio unius est exclusio alterius which means the items which are not mentioned in the list are impliedly assumed by the law as an excluded item. The items which are not mentioned by the act are subject to exclusion and nobody can take advantage of the statue. The act is based on the issue which determines the authority of the act. Any act beyond the act will be an ultra virus act(Raymond et al.) Analysis Nissan made an argument by saying that the equipments imported into the U.S. subzone are not subject to the duty as per the Foreign Trade Zones Act, and further disagreed that the merchandise goods only become dutiable if they are sent to the custom territory of the United States. Whereas the government argued that the equipments imported by Nissan are subject to the duty mentioned in the foreign trade zone act. They further argued that the equipments cannot be treated as merchandise because they were installed, consumed, and used. Hence they are not covered under the exemptions mentioned in the act. In 1952 the board broadcast regulations in pursuant to 19U.S.C. 18h which authorizes the establishment of the zones to carry specialized services or they can establish a zone in area seperated from the existing free trade zone. They can be used to serve the multiple purposes of manipulating, manufacturing, storing or exhibiting the goods. The municipal has contracted the area for the oth er purpose which is not mentioned in the act. A foreign trade zone was established at Nissans Motor Vehicle manufacturing and assembly part in Smyrna, Tennessee (19 U.S. Code 81b - Establishment of zones.2016). The united states court of appeals reviewed the 1950 amendment to the foreign trade zones act of 1934 where Section 3 states foreign and domestic merchandise may, without being subject to the customs laws of the united states can be bought into a zone and can be stored, sold, exhibited, broken up, repacked, assembled, distributed, sorted, graded, cleaned, mixed with foreign or domestic merchandise or otherwise not to influence any other type of manufacturing. Nissan impoted the heavy production machinery for use in the sub zone which include high automatic, incorporated system of industrial machine, automated conveyor and stamping systems and a complex computerized interface. Nissan asked for a verdict from United States custom services under 19 cfr sec 177 (a) (1) (1988) regarding its obligation for the duties. Nissan was unaware whether the proposed machinery would be able to serve the required purpose which can only be decided after running few tests. Some of the machinery was ret urned to the manufacturer for the purpose of replacement, redesigning (NISSAN MOTOR MFG. CORP., U.S.A. v. U.S., 2015). The custom decided that the production equipments which were imported from Japan are a part of dutiable goods and will not be included in the definition of merchandise for the purpose of exemption. The custom wanted Nissan to pay a formal duty for entering the goods for testing in the sub zone without seeking permission. The production equipments were valued approximately $ 116314883 with over $ 3000000 in admittance of duties. Nissan pleaded that it entered merchandise which are mentioned in the act and filed a case on its liquidation. The court of international trade held that Nissan has to pay a duty for entering the goods into the sub zone. The acts allow to store, sold, exihibit, assemble, distribute, mix, repacked the goods which are mentioned in the act under the definition of the merchandise and forbids the entry of the goods which are marked as prohibited under the act. The law states if the goods are sent into the custom territory of the United States they are subject to th e law and regulation of the state. Nissan challenged that the foreign trade zone is outside the territory of the customs in United States so they are not subject to be considered as the dutiable goods. The government thereby announced that the foreign trade zone cannot be used to defer the payment. It further stated that goods which enter the custom territory are subject to the payment of the duty. Here Nissan has bought in heavy equipments which are not mentioned in the act therefore they are subject to duty. The international court thereby stated that used or intended to be used to produce motor vehicles are not mentioned under the act. By applying the general rule of statutory construction expressio unius est exclusio alterius which means the expression of one thing is the exclusion of the alternative thing. The court stated that amended provisions will not be included in the authorization of the consumption of merchandise in the zone. Nissan considered that duties cannot be imposed on any article which is bought inside the foreign trade zone until and unless it is sent into the customs territory of the United States. The fact that a complete listing is set forward in the statue indicates that congress did not wanted to exclude the merchandise items from the ambit of dutiable goods which are imported inside the border. The activities carried by Nissan in the foreign trade subzone with the imported machinery are not permitted by the reading of the statue. In accordance with the section 81 c which mentions that the imported equipments may be installed, used, or consumed in the subzone. Section 81c states that the goods which are brought into a foreign trade zone may be stored, exihibit, repacked, assembled , sorted, graded, mixed , manipulated. This act does not support the import of goods which are bought inside without any information. The 1950 amendment of the foreign trade act and its legislative theory supports the former reading of the statue. Before 1950, duties were to be paid on merchandises inside the zone for a period of two years. The act was amended because the duties should only be paid if the goods are sent to the customs territory. The amended provision does not permit consumption of merchandise in a zone subject to the determination of the taxes. Previously the act was not clear on t he term merchandise which is mentioned in the act. The amendment and its legislative theory do not give permission for entry of duty free equipments. The exemption from duty is not permitted for merchandise to be consumed within the zone. The production machinery from Japan is mentioned in the list which does not permit an entry of any such equipment to make other article. In the amendment of 1984 foreign trade act, describes that the current law does not provide exemption to the goods which are brought into the foreign trade zone by any foreign company operating in the foreign trade zones. Nissan supported on the case of Hawaiian indep. Refinery v. United States for its position. Nissan consider merchandise as the crude oil which has to be entered into the foreign trade zone for manufacturing of the crude oil products. A portion of crude oil was consumed into the manufacturing process and customs assessed duty on the constructive theory. The international court of trade held that entry of crude oil was exempt at the time of entry and held that the Hawaiian indep. Refinery case was not similar to this case. The court disagreed on the contention of Nissan for deferring payment of duties (Hawaiian Independent Refinery, Inc., Appellant, v. the United States, Appellee, 697 F.2d 1063 (Fed. Cir. 1983).2016). The court stated the disagreement of Nissan was obvious to put off the payment of duty by misusing the information which was not mentioned in the act. The international court of trade found this act under deferring the duties which is necessary to be paid. This case focuses on negligence of law by taking undue advantage by misinterpreting the statue. The term merchandise has been defined in the act which does not include installation of heavy machineries which are bought in from Japan. It is a case of sheer misusing the powers which are defined by the act. The act further limits the power by amending the required situations which are necessary to be taken care while importing the goods from outside countries in the free trade zones (Court Listener,2016). Conclusion The machinery which were bought by Nissan motors are subject to duty. The court affirmed the judgment of the international court of trade. Whereas the court denied the appeal of Nissan on the ground that the act doesnt include heavy machinery in the definition of merchandise. The court further asked Nissan motors to pay the duty amount as mentioned in the act. The act to defer the payment is subject to payment of duty. It is unacceptable on the ground of misusing the power which is conferred by the act. The act assures that when the goods move from foreign trade zone to the custom zone they are subject to duty except to the merchandise which are mentioned in the act. Although in my opinion the behavior of Nisan is considered to be unclear. They wanted to revoke the duty after bringing the dutiable machineries in the zone without the permission of the authority. Moreover the company filed a protest after its liquidation which rightly states their intention to defer the payment of duty to the authority. The free trade zone Act was unclear on certain grounds while defining merchandise for which Nissan tried taking undue advantage. The free trade zone act should have been clearer regarding the term merchandise as it is silent on certain ground. They should have cleared the definition of merchandise to remove the confusion.. However the act is based on the statue of expressio unius est exclusio alterius which means the expression of one thing is the exclusion of the other thing. The statutory rule applies in general to describe that if the act is silent about certain things then those things are excluded by the act. One should not do any act beyond its power. In this case merchandise doesnt include heavy equipments the plaintiff tried to defeat the provisions of the act by interpreting it as per the case law of Hawaiian indep. Refinery v. United States (Court Listener, 2016). Both the cases were completely different and plaintiffs appeal regarding exemption was ignored on the ground of revocation of duty (International Studies Primer). The act is silent on mentioning certain issues. The international court of trade was however convinced that the foreign trade zone is not to be used for the misinterpretation of the act. Nissan has to pay the duty as decided by the act. The court in its judgment upheld the order passed by the international trade court. Although the act was silent at certain places which created an actual confusion. The definition of merchandise as per the act is exhaustive. It doesnt define the activities which are included in the act for payment of duty but the other party should not take undue advantage of the act. References Schaffer,R.

The product proposed (Mobilift) in this report is hoisting equipment for industrial and domestic purpose as well. Mobilift is portable and can be remotely use within 100 miters. Users can use this device for multipurpose such as domestic and industrial purpose. This report will discuss regarding the target market of this product along with the product issues. Following are the features and uniqueness of Mobilift. The hoisting rope of Mobilift will be able to lift goods up to 1 Ton. The device will be portable and therefore, users will be able to handle the product easily. The weight of the product will be 7 Kg, which will help the consumers to carry the product any ware. The product will come up with a remote, which can be used for increase safety in industrial industry. The product will come in two variant such as electricity operated and battery operated. The battery-operated version will help to reduce usage of electricity. 2.0 Brief Summary of the Market New Zealand market is rapidly growing in terms of technological development. Government of New Zealand encourages organizations to bring technological innovation. Apart from that, people in this market depend on technological equipments for improving overall lifestyle (Krush et al., 2016). The market competition is increasing day by day and therefore, organizations of different industries are implementing innovative ideas and technologies for attracting consumers. Therefore, it can be said that introducing Mobilift in this market will be beneficial. In this technological era, people are depending on technological devices for both personal and business purpose (Sheth Sisodia, 2015). Mobilift is a product, which can fulfill personal and business requirements of consumers and therefore, launching this product will be effective in this market. 3.0 Overview of Industry In New Zealand, there are different organizations are dealing with hoisting product manufacturing. Most of the organizations are manufacturing chain pulley block, which only can be used by the industrial warehouses. The competition of this industry is remarkably high and therefore, companies are continuously revising product design in order to attract more consumers (Koh Brunner, 2015). However, Mobilift is a kind of product, which will provide innovative features to the users. 4.0 Issue/pain of the product The product is at introductory stage and therefore, consumers are encountering various issues such as overheating. The weight capacity of the product is very low and therefore, cannot be used in industrial purpose properly. The rope size is long; however, the gauge of the rope is low due to small size of the product. Therefore, it reduces the chance of hoisting heavy weighed product efficiently. 5.0 SWOT analysis of the product Strengths Weaknesses Mobilift is light weighed and easily handballed product The product can hoist goods up to 1ton The product can be used in multipurpose such as industrial and domestic Electricity efficiency of this product is very high The product cannot hoists products more than 1 ton; however, most of the industrial companies use to hoist goods more than 5 ton Durability of the product is low The features are new and therefore, consumers can deny the product Opportunity Threats The product can be improved by increasing weight capacity Massive Hoists can introduce this product in international market Mobilift can be used in different purpose and therefore scope of the product is very high The product is new and therefore, competitive threat is one of the major threats for the product The product does not have any safety certification The outer section of the product consists of plastic material and therefore, it reduces durability of the product Table 1: SWOT Analysis. 6.0 Business plan 6.1 About the owner (Massive Hoists) Massive Hoists will develop different kinds of hoisting equipments for industrial purpose. The company will develop a new product, which will bring innovation to the hoists manufacturing industry. The product will help the users to hoists light weighted goods. The company will bring technological innovation for attracting consumers in an effective manner. Massive Hoists will include different features to the newly developed product such as safety monitoring feature in which the users will be notified regarding over weight. 6.2 The customer In order to launch Mobilift in New Zealand market, it is highly important to identify the appropriate consumers at primary stage. Target market refers to the group of potential consumers, those who are associated with goods handling (Clarke, Owens Ford, 2015). In case of New Zealand, there are various construction organizations and therefore, Massive Hoists will target the construction organizations as they deals with heavy goods and materials. Apart from that, industrial sectors will also be the targeted customer of Massive Hoists. Car manufacturing companies will also be a potential customer of Massive Hoists, as they require for hoisting light weighted goods (Malachovsk Kirov, 2015). Additionally, Mobilift can be used for household purpose and people can hoist products for domestic purpose. New Zealand is a growing market for industrial companies and therefore, Massive Hoists can target different organizations with different business operations such as car manufacturing and Cons truction Company. 6.3 The issues Mobilift is a new concept for the industrial sectors and therefore, consumers may not be able to understand the usefulness of the product. As a result, the product will be unable to affect the target market positively (Hunt, 2015). Apart from that, the load capacity of the product is very low in relation with other products. Generally, industrial sectors required hoisting products with high load capacity and therefore, this product can be denied by the industrial industries, which can affect business of Mobilift negatively. 6.5 The business idea In this technological era, people rely on technological equipments for reducing workload. Hoisting products helps to reduce use of labor along with increasing efficiency. Therefore, the idea of introducing Mobilift is to reduce requirements of human resource in industrial sector. Moreover, Massive Hoists will influence the consumers with the key features of the product. The key feature of the product is its mobility and durability. Mobilift is not only a hoisting product for the industrial sector, it also have different usability for domestic usage. The capacity of the rope is lower than the other hoisting equipments; however, the length of the rope will help the users to hoists goods efficiently. The remote operated feature will help the users to increase safety. 6.6 The Market Demographic: The demographic situation of New Zealand shows that there are different organizations dealing with heavy goods handling. On the other hand, organizations in this market are seeking for innovative products in order to increase efficiency. Therefore, Massive Hoists will be able to increase interest of the customers regarding this product. Competition: Different organizations are manufacturing hoisting products in New Zealand market. Supreme Hoists (NZ) Ltd is one of the reputed organizations in this industry. The company is continuously improving their technological aspects for increasing safety features and durability of the products (Byrne, 2015). Therefore, it can be said that competition for the new entrance is very high in this industry. Price: In order to attract the consumers, Massive Hoists will primarily adopt a low pricing strategy. The consumers in New Zealand market are willing to avail high quality products in low price (Schlegelmilch, 2016). Therefore, it can be said that adopting low pricing strategy will help the company to push sell the product among the target market. Promotion: Massive Hoists will develop a website for Mobilift and this website will consists of different features of the product. Apart from that, through this website, the company will increase awareness regarding usefulness of the product (Ritter, 2016). Additionally, Massive Hoists will adopt direct marketing strategy for implementing push and pull marketing mechanism. This promotional strategy will help the company to build a strong supply chain along with awareness regarding the product (Malshe et al., 2016). Product: The product manufactured by Massive Hoists consists of unique features such as remote operating system and automatic overload indicator. In order to improve product quality, it is highly important to use high quality raw materials (Fan, Sukwaid Moon, 2015). These two features make the product innovative and attractive as well. The quality of the product will be satisfactory and in order to ensure safety, the company will incorporate high quality rope.

Sociology of Sport The Bulls vs. the Nets on April 22, 2013

On April 22, 2013, the Brooklyn Nets met the Chicago Bulls during the NBA basketball game in the eastern conference playoff. This was the second game in the series, and the players and the audience focused on the game’s results in order to predict the success in the next games after the win of the Nets in the first game of the series.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on Sociology of Sport: The Bulls vs. the Nets on April 22, 2013 specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The game was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The Barclays Center can accommodate more than 18 thousands of spectators. The majority of seats were occupied with the teams’ fans. It is possible to note that the space and environments did not affect the behaviors of players or fans significantly because of rather comfortable conditions of the place. Nevertheless, it is necessary to concentrate on the atmosphere which can be discu ssed as rather tense because of the game’s significance and because of players and audience’s excitement associated with the starting games of the series. The fans of the Nets and the Bulls could be easily differentiated because of wearing the elements of the clothes and symbols with the teams’ main colours. The Nets’ fans represented the majority of the audience because of the specific place of the game to be held. The majority of the audience was the male public in different age categories, including students and middle-aged person. It is possible to assume that the audience included many representatives of the upper middle class with references to the teams’ status. The public wore a lot of symbolic elements of clothing that is why it was rather difficult to state the social status of fans referring to their dress. The Latin Americans and African Americans were presented at the game. The players of the Nets and the Bulls can be compared with the fans in relation to their age and race. Many players of two teams are African Americans in comparison with the racial division among the audience. Moreover, the middle age of players is not above 35 years when the middle age of the male audience can be discussed as above 37-38 years. It is necessary to concentrate on the specifics of the players’ communication during the game. The style of the players’ game was not aggressive, but the tension was observed. It is possible to refer to the reaction of Joakim Noah (the Bulls) to different technical elements of the game in the form of loud screaming and even roar (Joakim Noah’s roar, 2013). The public actively reacted to the behaviors of the players also with screaming. The ‘waves’ of screaming were observed as the reaction to the teams’ successes as well as faults.Advertising Looking for essay on social sciences? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn M ore It was possible to observe the repeated behaviors of the fans when the groups of fans reflected the reactions of the other groups (Yiannakis Melnick, 2001). Any deviant behaviors expressed by fans were observed. However, it is necessary to note the highly competitiveness among the fans in relation to supporting the team with screams and claps. Definite types of ritualistic behaviors were observed when the fans of the same team greeted each other (Delaney, 2009). The special language is characteristic for the players, coaches, and commentators who use a lot of terms to describe the elements of the game. The fans are inclined to share specific knowledge about the results in the series of games, and about the players’ personalities and style of playing. References Delaney, T. (2009).

Anthropology. write an (3000 words maximum) on the development of writing - Essay Example One of the oldest written references to King Solomon’s Temple is in form of inscription on a slice of clay. There are different types of writing systems which include logography, syllabaries, alphabets and featured scripts. The grapheme which represents a word or morpheme is called a logograph. They are commonly known as hieroglyphics. However, hieroglyphics represent ideas more than words (Brown, 1998: Pg 63). They are visual symbols rather than phonemes. All logographic scripts rely on the principle of rebus. This writing system includes Logoconsonantal scripts and logosyllabic scripts. It is a set of symbols that represents syllables. It is phonetic system of writing. Syllabaries are best suited to language with basic syllable structure, for example Japanese (Carter, 1984: Pg 123). Normally it is made of a consonant and a vowel or just a single vowel. The Inuktitut orientation the symbols are used to indentify vowels and small symbols are used to write syllable consonants. Alphabets can be defined as small set of symbols, each one historically represents phoneme of a particular language. A perfect phonological alphabet is the one in which letters correspond perfectly in different directions (Christin, 2002: Pg 87). Writers can predict the spelling of a word easily provided its pronunciation is given. Many languages often evolve of their writing systems and similarly the writing system have been borrowed other systems from different languages. The extent to which letters of an alphabet correspond with the phonemes varies from one language system to another. The featured scripts are the building blocks of phonemes which make up a language. For example the sound pronounced with lips can have some elements in common. It represents finer details than an alphabet. The history of written communication follows the path of civilization which in turn, moves in reaction to changing cultural norms. The transfer of information and

Abortion - Essay Example According to Peter Singer’s argument, human beings have a certain property that makes it morally wrong to kill them. The inherent property possessed by human beings increases their value and arguably overcomes any decision aimed at terminating life. However, infants do not possess the same property. Therefore, the fact that the properties are not evident in infants, Singer deduces that this does not make it morally wrong to kill them. He conversely considers the fact that some people who may have valued the infant may feel wronged. Such bestowing of value to infants by a section of the society emanates due to diversity in thoughts and believe. From the analysis this argument as presented by Singer, it is clear that it is based on the fact that he is of the opinion that killing an infant is less serious compared to killing a person. Therefore, it is correct inference that according to Singer, infants are less human and do not possess the same fundamental rights enjoyed by human beings (Lodp, 2013). Singer also advances the notion that infants who are rejected because they are physically handicapped are better off dead. Critical analysis of this sentiment shows that Singer believes that unwanted infants should not be subjected to the suffering that comes along with being raised in a hostile society or family. Instead of being discriminated on the basis of their physical appearance, abortion is a better remedy to the problem of infants being physically disabled. Therefore, Singer fundamentally supports his arguments by referring to the contemporary plight of human beings. From his illustrations on the development of the fetus during the early stages of pregnancy development, Singer tries to prove that the fetus cannot be harmed by not being brought into existence. His assumption is that, during the early stages of development, the fetus is not a fully grown life form or human being that can feel the pain of being killed. Singer has
