...Draft: Critique Paper To Do or Not to Do? : A Critique of "Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem Do we do it or do we not do is always the big question, is it not? In the article “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem”, Erich Fromm explains how society has always defined “obedience is a virtue and that disobedience is a vice” (p. 683). As a well known writer and thinker, Psychoanalyst, philosopher, historian and sociologist, Fromm believed that “human history began with an act of disobedience, and it is not unlikely that it will be, terminated by an act of obedience” (p. 683). How many of us have done something without even thinking about it simply because we were told to do it? That is exactly where Fromm is going with this article. Are we doing something because we are told to or are we doing it because we are scared of what may happen if we don’t? But is that always the right answer? Although Fromm’s ideas were organized and the evidence he used to support his argument was effective, the counter argument is missing. Fromm is trying to get us to understand that by man being introduced to the world by disobedience, whether it be from Adam and Eve or Prometheus, we now have to answer to a authority figure, which in return having to obey to that authority figure will end the world. Fromm’s fear and worry is just that. If we get in the habit and routine of doing something simply because we are told to do it, what is going to stop...

...TO DO Not to overuse an old adage (too late—I already I am) but it’s the little things in life that can make all the difference. Last weekend, I witnessed an act of gratitude that got me thinking about how we treat each other—how one simple thing can change the course of someone’s day. I was in downtown Los Angeles stopped at a red light, when I spotted two soldiers crossing the street toward the bus stop. There was a homeless man sitting on the other side of the street, who promptly stood up, took off his hat, and offered his hand to the two soldiers as they walked by. It was a small, but meaningful gesture. He had nothing to give but his genuine appreciation. But you know what? That was enough. It’s not about extravagance or gifts; it’s about compassion. It’s about our sensitivity to the human condition. Alright, now that I’m done talking like a politician (I couldn’t help it), here are some simple ways YOU can make someone else’s day: 1. Let someone go ahead of you in line. . . . . . especially if you’re up to your ears in groceries, and the person behind you only has cheese. 2. Ask and answer: How are you? It’s a question we hear over and over again—at the cash register, at work with your colleagues— but try providing a genuine answer. And while you’re at it, ask how that person’s day is going, too. When you open up, chances are, others will join you. 3. Say hello. It may sound simple, but saying hello is an acknowledgement of another person’s existence...

...Throughout the day, each and every person makes decisions based upon what they believe and want to do. It may be a good gesture or a gesture just looking out for them. The question arises is their a right and wrong choice. But ethics are and immortality hand in hand. Are they the both though and same thing, are can they be oppositely done? Immorality and ethics in today’s society are two different things. Due to the differences you can have both. The differences are shown through society, judgment, and belief. Through society ethics and immortality show their difference. Society shows that ethics is based upon the society itself rather then the individual. Ethics is what society goes based on. The rules that are place in the United States are a set of ethics that each individual must follow. There can be different ethics for different groups of people. For instance in the business world today there are business ethics, which is another set of ethics for a different group of people. Even though these ethics are set in place people still do not follow them and has to do with immorality of the individual. In addition to society showing how ethics and immorality are immoral, the judgment of each individual shows the difference and how one can be ethical and immoral. Each individual has their own mind and in which they make their own judgments and decisions. For instance in a state like Texas it is legal to shot somebody that is on your property and then ask questions later,...

...CRITICAL ANALYTICAL RESPONSE AND PERSONAL RESPONSE PERSONAL RESPONSE CRITICAL ANALYTICAL RESPONSE THIS RESPONSE MUST FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG INSIGHTFUL IDEAS STEMMING FROM A THESIS. 1) It can be written in any prose format. 2) The response must be an insightful exploration of the ideas developed in your own head through the process of living and experiencing life. The text of a writer has inspired personal reflection in a certain direction. You should identify the idea(s) in the text as you explore or relate to them. 3) The ideas will revolve around exploring relationships between concepts. 4) The personal response is far more than just a partial or complete telling of your life’s story. 5) Any relating of events in your life should be done solely for the purpose of supporting and explaining the ideas. In other words, build your response around ideas rather than events. 6) Support of these ideas may come from the text of a writer that inspired reflection, world history, personal history or invented scenarios. 7) Ideas can be implicitly stated. In doing so, figurative language can be a powerful and beneficial tool. 8) Support can also be implicit in nature by alluding to text or events. 9) The ideas and the support should not become cryptic. This is best avoided through planning before writing. | THIS RESPONSE MUST FOCUS ON THE...

...What do Marketers do? A career in Marketing may be seen as a ‘highly paid and exciting job’ [Byron Sharp, pg6] by many people, but what actually are the roles and responsibilities of a Marketer? ‘The role of the marketer is to understand consumer behaviour and recognise market opportunities so that the organisation can adapt and stay competitive.’ [Byron Sharp, pg22] ‘A Marketer needs to make and review an enormous range of decisions which will either ensure success or failure for a firm.’ [Byron Sharp, pg6] These decisions are drawn from intensive market research that helps marketers understand needs, wants and desires from consumers. ‘A successful marketing professional will be competent in evaluating these needs of the consumer market as they relate to a given set of product(s).’ [Byron Sharp, pg9] This means that the marketing professional will understand how and where to acquire knowledge about consumer demands and trends that are relevant to the marketing of specific goods and services globally or locally. ‘Marketing professionals of the modern era are the people that oversea trading. The modern economy depends on trade.’ making a marketer’s job very relevant to a business. [Byron Sharp, pg8] ‘They research it, compete against one another and make important decisions.’ [Byron Sharp, pg8] ‘The successful marketer usually a professional in a more senior role such as Marketing Director make informed decisions and budget allocations’ [Byron Sharp, pg8] after researching...

...The article “Do As I Say and Do As I Do: Using the Professor-in-Residence Model in Teaching Social Studies Methods” by Joyce H. Burstein, is a very informative and useful article that explains how Ms. Burstein brought preservice teachers to a urban professional development site (PDS), where they learned new methods and techniques for teaching social studies to 6th grade students, by observing the methods implemented by the professor-in-residence (PIR). Ms. Burstein explains how most social studies classrooms still use methods of using textbooks and lecturing students in their lessons, where it is not very engaging or practical for students. However, in Ms. Burstein’s methods course she introduces new strategies for preservice teachers such...

...What do marketers do? A marketer will have researched the market to find those needs of consumers that have not been developed. A marketer uses a business tool called the “marketing mix.” The marketing mix is essentially made up of the four Ps; price, product, promotion and place. These four elements are the underlying basis and marketing fundamentals to enable the marketer in determining a product or service. (Sharp, 2013) So selling is merely just a fraction of the entire marketing process of a product or service. When one looks closer at each p element of marketing, there is a considerable amount of strategy, planning and research that is required. By understanding the needs of a consumer is merely not enough, there are also other factors which require research and understanding why consumers are influenced in a number of ways to make specific purchases. All these factors are driven ultimately by consumer behaviour. A marketer will have researched consumer behaviour, in other words, they use market science, to systematically gather and analyse information needed. By applying the theoretical aspects of marketing and bridging this with real world marketing knowledge, the marketer can make informed decisions in planning marketing strategies. Many marketing fundamental theories have evolved over time, after all, marketing has been around been for thousands of years, many have seen thousands of products come and go over time. Yet the fundamental factors that influence consumer...

...“WHAT DO MARKETERS DO? “ New York is one of the most famous cities in the world. If I would ask people about the sights in this city, everybody will mention the Times Square for sure. So what have the Times Square and this text about marketing in common? Everywhere at this gaudy and lightly place there are advertisements. I personally think that one task of a marketer is it, to get these advertisements to places, where people can see it and where people are presented. They want to get people known that a product are exist. There are different companies, which producing the same product or service. So in business there’s an enormous competition and in my opinion marketers can make the different between success and failure. Their job is it, to make his product better looking for the people than the competitor. It’s not just about good looking; the customer should get the information which he needs. For example when I want to buy a new Smartphone I immediately think about “Samsung” and “Apple”. This is one aim, which marketers wanted to reach. On the one hand existing products are placed on the market like in the case before and on the other hand the marketer has to search for new products and ideas. In this case marketer have to make a market research, in which they are going to collect, review, analyse and interpret data to make right decisions. They also have to keep the competitor in view. What’s his next step? Do they get new technologies or make improvement at their products...

...to achieve marketing goal of companies, satisfy consumers demand at the same time. This essay will demonstrate two types of marketers and their duties, also suggest possible challenge faced by marketers. Companies’ aim is to sell their products to consumers, as well as promote their brand and products to attract more consumers. Therefore overall marketers’ obligation is to search for potential markets, select one or multiple markets as target, take the market environment and all other related factors that will impact on their brand into consideration to design appropriate marketing strategies, and manage the undertaking marketing activities (Mbalib n.d.). In order to seeking potential market opportunities, it is essential for marketers to do comprehensive market research in forms of observations and surveys, which helps marketers to understand consumers’ needs and wants, as well as their behaviour (Sharp 2013, p.6). Generally, there are two types of marketers. One is mainly involved in routine marketing activities, they are performers of marketing decisions, experiments and proposals (Laura n.d.). They also are information collectors and product promoters. They promoting and selling brands, conduct market researches and report the results, collect and report the market matrix figures (Sharp 2013, p.9). This type of marketers are practical, who directly contact with consumers, put marketing decisions and plans into action. The other type of marketers’ job mostly is to make decisions...

...anything else, too much of one thing is usually not good. I don’t really think it’s fair to compare caffeine to other illegal drugs because the negative impacts of caffeine are only prevalent if the user is taking in crazy amounts of it. Other drugs like heroin can cause lasting effects on somebody after one dose. Taking in high amounts of caffeine over a long period can cause bad results, but that’s why people need to learn self-control. My dad is a farmer and he drinks a cup of coffee in the morning and drinks a couple pops through the day. That’s way more caffeine then I take in during a regular day but I wouldn’t consider him addicted at all. He works long hours and sometimes needs that extra boost to get through the day. I do not think that we should tell children that caffeine is a drug simply because caffeine is in so many products that people enjoy. With that being said, I think we need to make sure kids limit their intake of caffeine. Children should not be drinking energy drinks because that’s more caffeine then they can handle and this is what is going to cause negative effects on them. I don’t think it’s a bad thing if a kid has a pop every once in a while but it should definitely be limited. I’m not going to be a teacher or coach but I think it’s us as adults that need to talk to kids about the dangers of caffeine. If they limit the amount they consume then there should not be a...

...Part A – Career and Unit Expectation In year 2018, I will graduate from Victoria University. I will get my Bachelor Degree in Marketing. After that, I will join in the company that I want to be so long, Uniqlo. In year 1984, Uniqlo got their first store in Japan, Hiroshima. And now they have grown up to more than 1300 stores in 15 countries. Their name Uniqlo comes from the words ‘unique’ and clothing. Which means a simple and clever it was just like their products, which are being high-quality, innovative, functional and affordable. To keep their product in high standard and reasonable prices, they design and manufacture their product by themselves. I agree with their vision and mission, that’s the reason I would like to work in a company like this as a marketer. In order to become an outstanding marketer, I expect that I will be learning many skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and more skills that will be useful in the future. Beside that, I also expect that my presentation skill will improve and also my communicate skill. It’s not just personal skill, teamwork will be important too, because work as a team, can help develop and improve communication skills. Some of the members might come out with something that they might not expect before. Part B- Team Formation Today, we formed a group of five people and a mix of students in each team. The team was formed by our lecturer and we’ll be working for the rest of the semester. Before the group formed we were...

...V DOS revolucionarios: Napoleón III y Bismarck EL DESPLOME del sistema de Metternich como secuela de la guerra de Crimea produjo casi dos decenios de conflictos: la guerra del Piamonte y Francia contra Austria en 1859, la guerra por el Schleswig-Holstein de 1864, la guerra austro-prusiana de 1866 y la franco-prusiana de 1870. De este vórtice surgiría en Europa un nuevo equilibrio del poder. Francia, que había participado en tres de las contiendas y alentado las demás, perdió su posición de predominio ante Alemania. Y, de importancia mayor aún, desaparecieron los frenos morales del sistema de Metternich. Este tumulto quedó simbolizado con el uso de un nuevo termino para una política irrestricta de equilibrio del poder: el termino alemán Realpolitik remplazó al termino francés raison d'état, sin modificar, empero, su significado. 98 Material reproducido para fines académicos, prohibida su reproducción sin la autorización de los titulares de los derechos DOS REVOLUCIONARIOS: NAPOLEÓN III Y BISMARCK 99 El nuevo orden europeo fue obra de dos colaboradores bastante insólitos, que luego llegarian a ser archienemigos: el emperador Napoleon III y Otto von Bismarck. Estos dos hombres pasaron por alto los antiguos lemas de Metternich: que en interés de la estabilidad habia que conservar las cabezas coronadas legitimas de los Estados de Europa; que habia que suprimir los movimientos nacionales y liberales, y, ante todo, que las relaciones entre los Estados habian de...
