...hard math problems and not the simple ones. Now a day, kids can’t even do simple math problems in their head. Then there is spell check on computers. Most teachers want everything typed now, therefore students can’t really learn if spell check gives them the answer. Kids won’t be able to develop with a lot of knowledge if they always depend on technology to do the thinking for them. The United States has become lazier and lazier as we find easier ways to solve our everyday problems. Studies have shown that television and video games are main reasons for obesity. Teenagers can’t seem to go anywhere without their cell phones in their hands either. No one really goes outside anymore because of the entertainment inside. It’s good that we have these advantages but we can’t take advantage of them. We got so used to the pampered life that technology gives us that we can’t simply get back to the “simple life”. One of the biggest sources of technology in the world is computers which brings along the internet. It provides a fast and easy way to get things done. Social networking sites allow people to meet. However, it’s better to start a friendship in person. Also, there are...

...All That Heaven Allows In the scene where Ron invites Carrie to the barn, it starts with her being very womanly, saying I hurried as fast as I could when you called. Sort of being at his beck and call. When they are entering the barn, they seem to be as their stereotypical genders would be. He is carrying firewood and she is just fawning over how wonderful the place looks since the last time she was there, and just how great his work is. She goes over to the window, which serves as a common ground sort of place in the scene where they are both equally lit up in the scenes lighting also signifying that they are equals. When he helps her with her coat that is a very manly gesture, but when she goes over to the couch and sits down, he helps her to take off her boots and I feel that this is somewhat of a shift of the stereotypical male action. I would think that it is a more womanly sort of thing to help their mate take off their shoes. Especially for the time the movie was made. Women helped their husbands take off their shoes after a long day at work. When she notices the teapot and how he put it back together I think that it introduces that teapot to signify his heart, his feelings for her. That it took days and days and days to find all the pieces, I think this is how he feels about her. That it has all come together and he realizes how he feels for her. Then when the scene shifts to them standing in front of the fireplace they are both equally lit up and he proposes...

...Organizational design refers to the way in which a company functions. Good organizational design aligns the company’s processes and management functions with its overall goals. Poor design can be most easily identified when a company utilizes traditional methods of organization rather than looking for innovative solutions. The most effective way to organize a company depends entirely upon the company’s specific needs, functions, and goals. When considering the best design, one must first define the purpose of the company. All other features of the company’s organizational methods should center around fulfilling this purpose. A company whose purpose is centered around helping others, for example, would need a very different design than a company that is technologically focused. If both companies were to utilize the same design principles, one or both would be operating well below their optimum potential. In addition to considering the purpose of the company, organizational design must also evaluate the skills and purposes of the individual employees. A creative company may thrive with a loose organizational system, ample opportunities for free brainstorming, and playful incentives. A company with more left-brained individuals may do better with a rigid, well-defined structure. Most situations will call for a unique blend of these methods. A company’s organizational design also serves to define the chain of command and division of labor within the group. It determines who...

...diversity in which I am most strong are: The two areas that I am the strongest in are reducing my prejudices because part of managing diversity is being able to admit to my own biases and I am an individual who takes constrictive criticism which by the way I had to reconsider my thoughts when it came to stereotyping because I judge a lot of individuals before getting to know them and what they could bring to the table which in managing obviously is a bad thing I learned through life experience to cope with diversity because you will need those skills in order to manage a facility effectively. 2.) The one or two areas of understanding or managing diversity in which I need more improvement are: The area of understanding or managing diversity that I need improvement in Minimizing miscommunication with diverse others because I am a person who thinks that going to seminar is not worth attending I assume that I already know enough which is a bad thing it is good to always try to learn more about your career that way not only are you growing your company is growing as well. 3.) If I did only one thing to improve in this area, it would be: I would consider going to monthly classes or maybe going to one every three months that way I can keep myself updated and informed further more I not only learn 4.) Making this change would probably result in: Making this change would result in me bettering myself in managing becoming a better frontrunner means a better team if I go on the limb...

...The Fear (The major point of my paper is about the fear that people feel when they try to change and what they should do to overcome the fear.) Thesis Statement: As we see the characters, Wallace and Ronald Pryzbylewski in the Wire, overcoming fear can be a first step to change. (Introduction: This paragraph explains what I will cover in my writing.) People do not change easily. Many people fall in love with similar people and hurt because of similar reasons. They recognize their mistakes, but make the same mistakes over and over again. Why? One reason is they are doing it wrong. But another reason runs deeper. They are afraid to change. The decided personality is not changed easily like the foot stamp on the wet cement. Although the reasons for resisting change can be external and situational, I claim that the most damaging fears are internal because the individual is with the problem and situation. As we see the characters, Wallace and Ronald Pryzbylewski in the Wire, overcoming fear can be a first step to change. Four of the most prevalent common fears are: fear of failure, fear of success, fear of criticism, and fear of the new thing. (Give two examples that whether overcome the fears or not. These three example paragraphs show how they overcome the fears and how to change or not.) Here are examples from the Wire, the TV show. One is the person who overcome the fear, Ronald Pryzbylewski, and another is the person who does not overcome the fear, Wallace. Pryzbylewski...

...Learning effectively through methods There are many process that we all go through in order to learn. Everyone one is different, everyone has a unique way of learning or multiple ways of learning. It is very common for someone to have multiple ways of learning. I’m going to describe how as a student, I go about learning. One of my many ways of learning would be repetition. I am a visual learner who benefits from seeing things repeatedly; namely, I learn successfully from being able to have a visual representation to which I can refer to. However, my ideal ways of learning would have to be repetition, visualizing, and kinesthetic learning style. For me repetition is very useful when trying to retain information. Repetition emphasizes many aspects. For example; if I need to remember a very difficult word, I would repeat the word three times or more to be able to retain the word in my head. Sometimes when I’m trying to retain too many words all at once, I forget some of the words in the process. Also repeating sentences works as well too. By the way, this method may not work for everyone, it all depends on the person. Repetition is a very common technique known to everyone and may be used by anyone who chooses to. On the other hand, everyone has use repetition once or multiple time in their life whether they know it or not. For example, when I was young I would keep trying to learn how to ride a bike. No matter how many times I fail down I kept trying until I succeed, this is...

...just seeing the color of your skin. People shouldn’t be judged by how they look; in the end we’re all human, nothing more nothing less. There are different types of courage shown throughout the book. It ranges from how courageous a kid could be and an adult too. Society has come a long way, and it has changed for the best. When you realize in the book how society was, you think to yourself how could people be so cruel? Although years after, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. himself said, “…I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character…” (King). To Kill a Mockingbird, teaches racism better than any textbook, “I thought it taught things about racism and tolerance better than a history textbook,” (Oakley Ebscohost). Even though racism is a sensitive subject to some, people of today’s world need to know what kind of cruel things used to happen, that way we know it’s wrong and how much people suffered. People say the colored had the chance to learn and better their selves, that’s not true, because of their skin color they were automatically thought they wouldn’t be able to learn anything. By the way Atticus took up the case into his own hands teaches, “Sometimes we will have to stand alone like Atticus...

...were we have seen the rapid development of globalisation, especially with the help of the boom in communication, this has changed the way markets operate and have been some of the key factors in moulding the way management works. Enabling employees and employers to interact in a complete different way with the introduction of high speed internet, alternative ways to communicate such as Skype calls, allowing the markets to gradually manoeuvre towards further efficiency. As our environment evolves so will our markets, inevitably evolving ‘management’. I believe the change in the art of management in 5 years will be a steady one, however not an enormous one. In, ‘Evolution and Revolution as Organizations Grow’ by Larry E. Greiner, Greiner has stressed the phases firms will undergo while desiring growth however with staggering moments of crisis, as he called ‘revolutions’, that would then be followed by growth which he referred to as ‘evolutions’, this cycle would repeat, however the size of the organisation would develop in a vertical raising direction, with steepness varying firm to firm. Nevertheless, the key to these ‘evolutions and revolutions’ is the change in operation of management. The ideas of Greiner can be related in today’s market, as I mentioned above, from a international view, having integrated globalisation more deeply into the way markets operate, to a more internal view,...

... Dominy 1 December 2014 Lost Sovereignty When an individual looks at the bigger picture than the small one in front of you and enjoy the experience instead of looking for ways to show proof to someone what you did or what you saw. I lost my sovereignty, power over something, because of a postcard I received in the mail from Philadelphia, which did not look the same in person. The postcard had beautiful, old buildings and clear blue sky. When we went a few weeks later the buildings were just old and the sky was not clear. I was so excited by the way Philadelphia looked on a postcard that I did not really experienced what it had to offer. Many people just like myself have lost their sovereignty at an event, place, or even showing evidence that they went somewhere. In “The Lost of the Creature” Walker Percy gives many examples of people losing their sovereignty while visiting places. A man from Boston is one of Percy’s examples. This man from Boston had seen a picture of the Grand Canyon on a postcard. While visiting the Grand Canyon the man was shocked by the way it looks. The canyon does not look the same as it does on the postcard. So the man was in a sense cheated out of a great experience that he could have had, because the postcard looked one way and was expecting the canyon to look the same way. As Percy stated “that the thing is no longer the thing as it confronted the Spaniard. It is rather that which has already been formulated, by picture postcard, geography book...

...considered myself as a leader. But I believe the real power is using this tool to help me better understand others and what makes them do what they do. As a manager I find myself dealing with several people with many differing motivational values. For example, there is one guy in my department who is very assertive and ambitious. He wants to move up in position quickly and is always looking for opportunities to take on more projects that would allow him to show his abilities. He likes to push others around to get his own way and he is also quick to blame others when things go wrong. Then there’s this a field guy that has been with the company for about 10 years. He is a true Blue; he is a warm and friendly person that likes helping everyone. He is really devoted, modest, supportive and loyal. The trouble is, he also tends to allow people to take advantage of him. I intend to apply many of the tactics I’ve learned in this class in order to improve the way I manage these two...

...How to get back on track You don’t know this about me but I was 14 years old and won 2nd place in the regional Chess competition along with 3rd place in the state and 8th place in nationals (that’s 8th in 100 competitors). What I learned (beside that I am awesome) was that everything in life if a chess game and should be treated as such. Along the way I learned project managing and learned that everything in life requires management and a manager for it. So combining those concepts you get that everything in life needs to be managed with grace, foresight, risk and timing. Below is what my Thesis was for my BS called “Playing the Game Called Management” Got an “A” by the way and inducted into the tech honors society. But that’s another story. The Question There are things we need to establish to try to fix things. One was recognizing the causes of which we already mentioned in the email. In chess that’s viewing the board and the player the environment all causes to the end games all potentially harmful and none of it on your side. This is handled in PM by openly set the goals and make sure that they are understood. In chess that is to yourself in PM that is to the group. This would not be to re-write the project by this date. That’s not a goal, that’s a want/need. It means to lay out what are the real goals for each party (to look good, make money, do the job and go home, do a good job, learn etc.). This is kind of dirty but so is detoxing after a bad drug habit...

...is how I can connect with the audience. I do this first because I feel that any audience member should feel a connection between them and the speaker whether or not they agree or disagree with the speaker. And the way I display this connection with the audience is through the types of immediacy such as verbal immediacy, nonverbal immediacy, technological influences on immediacy, and cultural influences on immediacy. In my first speech of the class, Any Old Bag Speech, I focused on getting the audience to me and like me for who I am. When I watched the speech on acclaim I realized that I used a form of verbal immediacy. Verbal immediacy directly relates to judgments of a speaker’s competence and character and includes the use of personal examples, humor, addressing others by first name and asking questions that solicit viewpoints or opinions. Using humor and personal examples in the speech certainly helped me relax because I could tell the audience was enjoying my speech instead of nodding off due to boredom. It also gave me confidence in my ability to speak in front of people, which is one of the main purposes of this course. My informative speech was a bit of struggle trying to find the connection with audience because the topic I chose. I could tell by the way that some of the audience were sitting that I was lacking immediacy. The nonverbal immediacy, which describes nonverbal behaviors that communicate liking, a positive evaluation of others, or positive affect to others...

...McShane Case Study 4.1 1. Each one of the medical staff has different ways of dealing with the stress that they have to deal with. Each has found their own way of dealing with the emotions that go along with a position that deals with patients that need that extra emotional support. They accomplish their emotions by focusing on the task at hand which is taking care of the patient and letting them know that they are there for them to help them both mentally and physically. Most medical staff employees, who deal with the type of trauma that these three individuals deal with every day, have to find their own way to deal with their emotions. You can’t go to work and look at your patients and show emotions, because those patients rely on you for support to help get them through every day by knowing that you are there for them. I believe that they do effectively manage their emotions, because none of them show their emotions in front of their patients. I know from experience that if you are someone who shows emotions easily and a situation arises and your emotions come out, it can make the situation difficult to get through. They keep their emotions to themselves and then let them out when they are not around the patients. People feel off of other people’s emotions, so you have to learn to separate your emotions. 3. Stress occurs when situations arise that challenges or threatens you and you have to find ways to handle those situations. Stress is something that can occur at...

...Violence can be justifiable in some situations like self defence or a martial art. It should in any way be used as a killing tool but only to get yourself out of a bad situation. Violence should never be used in any way of using it to get things you want or force people to do anything or use it to solve a problem or crisis. There is always other options to sort out the situation, In the movie The Hurricane, Rubin Carter never used violence to get what he wanted. Rubin only used violence when he was about to be dropped off the edge of a cliff into a rock death, he used it to protect himself but he would never kill a man. Violence should not in any way be used to solve any problems at all just as seen in World War 2 when thousands of people died when it could have been easily been changed and would have never occurred, if the hierarchy had sat in a meeting and discussed and reached an outcome of a way around several thousands of men camped out to kill the other men in their trenches. the hierarchies did not change their ways and it happened again in World War 2. I think that defending your country is a great thing to do but sending out a man to kill and get revenge on another country is unacceptable. Violence is definitely acceptable in self defence or to defend your family and friends but it is completely unacceptable to use it to kill. If someone comes into your house and holds hostage a family member, you can't stop and ask or discuss violent matters. Violence should be...
