While there is

This essay will

both xxx

An ethical investor

Thus,
in contrast with mainstream or ..,risk and return
are not the sole dimensions of decision making,
although they are still likely to be
important. In ethical investment, it is the nature
of the source ,and not
just the size
and risk, of the financial return
that
is of concern.

Sto research

some
interesting
result

namely that
…
.
?
The
first important thing to note is there
are 2 parts to this question:
?
Firstly
whether….. have been the case , and
secondly whether …
..
?
Regarding
the
first question, there are
many
claims
in the literature in
support of this view.
For
example
, ….(1979)
claims
that…. And
….(1978) claim that….. And of course there is the
well
known…..However,
a
recent revise
of research on the
…..indicates that there is only…..,but not for
other …..such as B.
?
So what about
A’s(1979) claim and claims like it ? Well, the
trouble with …..is that….
For
instance
, it
is
well know that from time-to-
time B
…..,so it is possible that …. In other cases,
such as …..
, it may be
that
…. However, there is …..
The
procedure is acutally quite simple.

..If you have to go
somewhere else due to lack of facilties,

…….
?
For example,
D(1986)
cites research
from…..has
shown
that ….. Also, S (
cited by
D,1986) have
found that ….However, as
argued
by N(1985),many of
these studies are
flawed
in ….,and so are not
conclusive
.
?
The
major
flaw
with all the
above
-
mentioned
studies
is that they
fail
to
rule
out
alternative
,
plausible explanations. For
e
xample, the … might have been
due
to
…..
rather
than
as a
direct
result
of …. As
for those who had ……,or ……may have led to the
observed
results
rather
than …. N also
cited better designed
stu
dies by CA et al. and Cs et al.,
which have
respectively
found
…..
, and no
correlation between being an……and ….
That these
well
-
d
esigned
studies
were negative supports the
view that
studies which show a positive result are likely
flawed
in
design
or
interpretation
.
P4 Conclusion
In conclusion,
while future developments
in the field
of …
may change the picture,
on
the available
evidence, X
appears to be able to only directly
affect
…..,
although it can indirectly affect ….and
through its influence on lifestyle
factors such as …..,and so on.
Refernece Example:
Xxxxxxxx
(Angell,1985)
For example, Cousins
(1979) claims that
……
Simonton et al. (1987) claim that…./
Dixon (1985) cites….
Schleifer
et al. (cited by
Dixon, 1986) have found
that
…..
Some people feel
better…….(Evan,2003;Fisher,2001)
However, a recent review of research
on the …by Evan (2003) indicates
that….
As argued
by
Angell (1985)
,
many of these studies are

What about Cousins’
(1979) claim and claims like it?
