In 2020, “Fuwan” won the gold medal during the “World Chocolate Competition”, which known as the \"Oscar Award” in the chocolate industry. After winning the grand prize, \"Fuwan Chocolate\" took advantage of the momentum and launched joint products with well-known brands, such as Laurel Corp (Tangyuan). Unexpectedly, the father of Fuwan’s CEO sexually harassed a female intern five years ago, and the CEO also scolded the victim for the chaotic private life after his father being accused. This old matter that has been 5 years was brought up to the stage again this year. Although Fuwan apologized on their Facebook fan page afterwards, it was not accepted by netizens. After three weeks of uproar, its co-branded manufacturer Laurel announced the suspension of production of chocolate flavor tangyuan in collaboration with Fuwan. Many well-known Taiwanese manufacturers also followed the step in the meanwhile. The established credibility and image are now seriously damaged. This study is mainly to discuss the external communication methods and processing results of \"Fuwan\" and \"Laurel\" by comparing the pros and cons of their processing methods.

A majority shareholder occupies a dominant position in the decision-making process of the company's affairs and can control the company with the principle of majority rule. In the process of company development, the interests of the majority shareholders may diverge from the interests of the company. In this case, the majority of shareholders may engage in unfair prejudice conduct that harm the interests of the company and minority shareholders for their own benefit. Consequently, to some extent, the principle of majority rule provides the possibility for the controlling shareholders to abuse voting rights, which often constitutes damage to the interests of minority shareholders. In addition, due to the reliance on the controlling shareholder, the directors tend to only take into account the interests of the majority shareholders, with the result that ignore the rights and interests of noncontrolling shareholders. Especially in private companies, minority shareholders not only cannot sell their shares in the stock exchanges without restrictions to exit the company, but also may be subject to more severe oppression by the actual controller of the company. 5 When minority shareholders cannot obtain relief within the company, it is necessary for aggrieved shareholders to bring an action against the majority shareholders to protect their rights. However, under the rule in Foss v Harbottle, shareholders only be allowed to sue if they meet the exceptions. Due to the limited application scope of these exceptions, the aggrieved shareholders are often unable to get timely and effective relief in practice. In response to this problem, statutory unfair prejudice provisions are introduced to balance the interests of majority shareholders and minority shareholders, and to prevent shareholder oppression in corporate governance. It emphasizes judicial intervention to protect the legitimate interests of shareholders. Compared with just and equitable winding up and derivative action, the unfair prejudice is regarded as a mechanism for minority protection as it covers a variety of remedies and leaves the court with greater discretion. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. THE BACKGROUND OF UNFAIR PREJUDICE 1.1. The History of Unfair Prejudice The unfair prejudice provisions originated from the modification of the alternative remedy to winding up in cases of oppression provided in the Companies Act 1948.

The research conclusions show that public communication on plastic pollution issues in National Geographic by means of visual media representation and symbol construction, mainly using photojournalism and design creation to expose the social aspects of risks (phenomena and problems) to the public. Also, it presents and tells readers the reality (source and essence) of risks in a scientific and simple manner, and inform the public of the ideal aspects of risks (practical methods), and guide the public to engage and participate in environmentally friendly actions.

FORMATTING OF MANUSCRIPT COMPONENTS The United Nations 2016 report pointed out that marine plastic waste has become a key factor threatening the ocean and life species (Dias, 2016), it has become the second largest environmental risk threat to mankind after climate change. In the past ten years, deaths of marine species due to accidental eating of garbage or being entangled by garbage have increased by 40%. Among them, plastic products are the deadliest marine killer (Dias & Lovejoy, 2012). The public’s perception of risk is different from that of scientists and professional elites, and the formation and impact of environmental risks are hidden and diverse. Mass media serves as an important link to construct public risk perceptions. How to communicate risks with the public, and how its strategies and effects are always the focus of attention of environmental communication researchers. Natural and environmental themes are visual in nature, and human perception and understanding of environmental risks are more likely to be affected by the visual space created by the media (Wahlberg & Sjoberg, 2000), to a certain extent, visual images help or hinder people from taking action (Meisner & Takahashi, 2013). David Perlmutter (1998) pointed out that images can stimulate the audience's emotional response, and clear content presentation can promote the emotional connection between the communicator and the audience. Aarti Iyer and Julian Oldmeadow (2006)also confirmed this theory, that is, comparing textual information with visual images, individuals will have greater mood swings when viewing visual images. Because the communicator's control over the rhythm of the composition, color, and elements of the visual picture, it is easy for the audience to produce emotional follow and move","PeriodicalId":184745,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Humanities and Social Studies","volume":"479 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131998118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
