...difficult to find a few flaws in this statement the first time you read it. On the other hand, his second claim was a little bit difficult to consider. He insisted on empathy being in our formal education, which is like its own class. The fallacy of Tyson’s statement is because of the way he arranges his words and how he comes off strong. After some thought, answers are found through human empathy, education and choices. Tyson made humans seem disrespectful, selfish and self-centered, which created a kind of harsh start. If people didn’t have empathy, we wouldn’t have our doctors, our engineers and our counselors. Yes, there are people who don’t have a lot or any empathy . For example, the devil. The bible stated that he wanted to have the power and ended up dropping to hell. He didn’t consider his other brother angels, his father, or the ones he tries to pull from God. Although humans have flaws too, they also have each other. If humans took a chance...

Club IT haves three big problems within their company that is holding them back from accomplishing their future goals, social networking in social media, sales report software, and a quality e-commerce provider.

... The other members of the commission being the National League president and the American League president served on the National Commission without compensation. Some of the powers of the commission were to interpret and carry out the terms and provisions of the agreement while also being able to enact and enforce fines and suspensions. One of the major roles of the commission came whenever a National League or American League club claimed the services of the same player. The Chairman of the Commission decides the right to that player. The Chairman shall make said decision without the help of his two associates.

...pride in my individuality . Audience – clothing , flaws Being an individual is easy to want, but hard to attain. Teens nowadays only want to fit in, not to stand out. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines individuality as 'total character peculiar to and distinguishing an individual from others'. Being an individual is described as 'peculiar'. Not many people want to feel peculiar. They want to feel normal, just like everybody else. Individuality is a wonderful thing, though, that can only be accomplished by loving yourself. 'There's room for everybody on the planet to be creative and conscious if you are your own person. If you're trying to be like somebody else, then there isn't.' That quote was said by Tori Amos, and it is so true. There's no room on this earth for another lackadaisical Joe Schmo. When everybody wears the same clothes, has the same hairstyle, talks about the same things, and has the same beliefs, all the kids in the school hallway just blend together into one blob of boredom. That is why individuality is so important. No one wants to live a totally predictable life. No one who hates themselves will be a true individual. If you dislike yourself, why on earth would you want others to dislike you for being diiferent? Someone who loves themselves and embraces their flaws will achieve being an individual. If you are confident about yourself, you can feel comfortable standing out. You can glow from within, as if saying to the world: Here I am! This is me...

...assignments available within the student view:1. Why is merchandise so important to a Premier League soccer club? Why do clubs go into retailing and mail-order when their core business is football?Answer: It is important because: * it generates extra revenue over and above gate receipts, television rights, etc. * there are particularly high margins to be earned easily * fans are willing to buy and to pay premium prices for something tangible connected with the club * buying from the club's own retail outlet, catalogue or e-tail store reinforces the connection * it helps to reinforce fan loyalty * it involves fans who cannot afford to go to matches or who live too far away * clubs spend a lot of money establishing their brand names and it is a natural marketing decision (as with any other big name brand) to want to extend it beyond the core product and capitalise on its investment and success.Clubs have gone into retailing and mail-order because: * There is a serious market for their merchandise so why shouldn't the clubs get directly involved rather than letting other intermediaries have it all? * Premiership clubs have strong brand names in their own right and a retail/mail-order operation is entirely consistent with their core business as the merchandise forms part of the brand, allowing the fans to feel they are sharing a little piece of the club's success. It all helps to extends the total brand experience from the pitch to the home. * Clubs can source and stock...

...analyzed is the subordinate group in the high school environment. More specifically: how can membership in a subordinate group perceived as “bottom of the rung”, enhance the cohesiveness of that socially subordinate group in the adolescent environment, and how does the subgroup attempt to overcome the negative perception imposed on them? The hypothesis being that members of a social group with specific goals, perceived as subordinate and influenced by the social superiority of their peers will bond as a result of common social maltreatment as well as common goals. The results of this study can provide an understanding of the realistic ability for high school aged children to develop healthy relationships despite their subordinate status within their social environment and whether this idea is accurately represented in the media. Literature Review In addressing the concrete definition and study of cohesion, Moody and White explain the ongoing issue of cohesion this way: “Although questions about social cohesion lie at the core of our discipline, definitions are often vague and difficult to operationalize…Structural cohesion is defined as the minimum number of actors who, if removed from the group would disconnect the group…” (p. 103). In their study of peer relationships...

...and not in their capacity as leaders. Boys learn that their success is tied to dominance, power, and aggression. Many would agree that some strides have been made in how the media portray women in film, television and magazines, and that the last few decades have also seen a growth in the presence and influence of woman in media behind the scenes. Documentaries such as “Miss Representation” focus on outlining the flaws and misrepresentation media has on woman and girls. Their project aims to challenge and change the way media objectifies woman. Nevertheless, female stereotypes continue to thrive in the media we consume everyday. Gender stereotypes are everywhere. Stereotypes are defined as a “generalized view or...

...Prior to substantial structural reforms of the Sierra Club in the early 1970s, members conducted “business” within the organization in their own distinct fashion. To become a member before the 1970s, about the only place one could find a membership application was the “printed application on the book jacket of a Sierra Club book, requiring you to cut up the jacket and find two club members to recommend you for membership” (xxii). Fundraising was segmented within the organization, as there existed three separate, decentralized fund-raising staffs that failed to share information or donors amongst each other. Underneath these logistical complications existed a management unwilling to demonstrate firm control of the organization in the fear of preventing the existence of innovation and progress. It was this situation that Denny Shaffer of North Carolina entered into when he became a member of the Sierra Club in 1969. At his first National Sierra Club meeting, Shaffer was bewildered at the state of the organization, stating: “The first meeting I came to out here was, without a doubt, one of the most--I want to say I was shocked, maybe that's too strong a word. I was sure amazed that this powerful organization which was viewed as being so wise and old and right in its thinking and effective, in some levels was just really quite primitive” (30). Upon observing the general state of affairs within the organization, Shaffer went about with initial plans aimed at restructuring and strengthening...

...I describe myself as outgoing, hardworking, independent, eager to learn person wishing to grow professionally. My hard work fetched me a 95% grade in my high school "A" levels and because of my outgoing Independent nature I decided to study Engineering at NUS Singapore as an International student from India. A flaw in my working style is that I tend to approach problems in a convoluted way, rather than the quickest path, as I believe a sufficient understanding of the foundation of the problem is essential to arrive at an optimal solution. Slowly I am overcoming that problem as I gained sufficient skills with time and maturity. As a student of Engineering and Technology with a strong desire for Mathematics and Problem solving with analytical skills and being a Pro Business person I can work on my own and as a team for getting the desired result in shortest time. Besides studies I hold responsible positions in various community services and charitable clubs and organizations on campus. We conduct blood donation camps and educational camps periodically. I also listen to music and play tennis at leisure. As a mechanical engineer, I wish to fully utilize the knowledge that I have gained from my studies at NUS. I would prefer at the beginning of my career, to work in highly technical roles that gives me opportunities to apply my core engineering knowledge to real life applications. Later on, I would like to take up more challenging roles that require leadership skills and would want...

...it comes to gay rights; gay rights in schools, arguments for and against gay, rights and gay rights in adoption. Gay rights has been a controversial topic for quite some time now; in public schools all over north America that last couple decades gay rights has been opened up and discussed. Openly gay students are coming together in a safe haven, where without judgment they can come together and support each other with any difficulties they may be facing. “Gay-straight alliances are a form of social support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) high-school students that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These alliances are generally student-run social clubs akin to other high-school social groups, such as drama clubs, math teams, or yearbook clubs. However, one of the main purposes of gay-straight alliances is to provide support to LGBTQ students in difficult personal circumstances or in hostile school environments, and to advocate for LGBTQ students,” (Fetner, T., Elafros, A., Bortolin, S., & Drechsler, C., 2012). Throughout the above statement you are able to see LGBTQ purpose and what this organization is really for in schools around North America. Gay rights are something that has become openly accepted in a portion of schools recently; allowing for children to be accepted no matter what their sexuality it. However, discrimination in schools...

...1). Do you think Alix Kates Shulman's marriage agreement is a good idea--why or why not? What do you agree with and what do you disagree with? How does she claim it saved her marriage and her career? I think the marriage agreement idea is good because it does give a good structure to avoid complications. If you lay it all out and find balance things can be better understood organized, and respected. No one has to feel like a stay at home parent who doesn’t get to live their life and there isn’t any sexism, it provides equality in a marriage. I think it’s a great idea to even everything out between husband and wife so that one person isn’t put at a disadvantage in life. I agree that the contract can be helpful as Shulman showed it was in her marriage. However, I think it’s in some ways to strict and unnatural. It would be annoying to have to write in a log and live by specific dates and times and do everything on a specific schedule every day. Schulman states that her marriage was saved as both she and her husband felt happier. They could spend more time together and with children and had balanced responsibilities. She no longer had the feeling that a lot of responsibility and household work was being put on her as her dreams were put aside. The agreement have her extra time to handle her personal affairs and dreams and this helped her career. She was able to achieve the things she wanted. She became a writer and published her own books. 2). In Hope Edelman's essay, how...

...Even though it is the top place to experience a ghost tour, there are flaws to it. Not many people enjoy the graveyard experience because it tends to drag a bit. These tours are often group tours and at times can get too crowded within the vaults, those with claustrophobia or stress related conditions are not advised to attend and children are not advised to attend ghost tours. Don’t worry though, Auld Reekie’s has plenty of non-scary historic tours of the vaults, graveyards and Old Town. Even with the flaws, great story telling makes up for it all and will keep you on the edge of your toes and the stories can make “even a staunch sceptic… shudder with dread” and might even give you nightmares for the next week or so. If you ever find yourself in Edinburgh, Scotland, this is a great activity to do and you won’t be disappointed. Happy...
