...“Swag, swag on you,” is one of the unacceptable things teens say to show their faith in swag. Students tend to show this newly viral trend all over the internet by taking photos of themselves while wearing caps, huge shirts, baggy pants and doing hand gestures that has a huge connection in slowly losing hope for this generation as adults that notice this say. Inside or outside the school grounds, people see teenagers wearing the swag clothes and bringing pride along themselves. According to numerous adults, those teenagers get influenced by famous artists that spread swag around the globe such as the Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber and English singer Cher Lloyd. More and more teenagers these days, commonly from the Caucasian, Asian and African races are starting to believe in the overused slang word for coolness without any conscientious decisions. Adults never like this new trend as it changes the teenagers from obedient to rebellious. They believe they are better than anyone else by having too much swag. They say every actions they do are cool enough to be praised. Drugs, sex, money are parts of the major problems teenagers in the world cope with. Their obsession with those problems are based on the results of some family dilemmas including lack of parental guidance. Every human in this world must realize that swag has no place anywhere, or does it? People question about how the future will look like if the teenagers in this generation get married someday and make families...

...Importance of alignment [300 words]: The role of incentives in securing execution Employees are the agents of the firm’s owners since they take actions or make decisions that impact the payoff to the owners. The difficulties in the agent-principal relationships arise when the objectives of principal and agent are different and the actions taken by the agent or the information possessed by the agent are hard to observe. Employees care about the job in terms of the value the job generates for themselves. Thus providing the right incentives to employees would secure execution of the firm’s plans to meet the firm’s objectives. There are financial and non-financial incentives. Non- financial incentives are social and moral incentives. Which incentives are appropriate depends on the objective of the company. Since motivation comes from within the employees, the personality, needs and interest of each employee determine the right incentives that will influence employees to self motivate and produce the best work possible that will contribute to the firm meeting its objectives. Reward and recognition is concerned with the range of practices an organisation undertakes (financial and non-financial) to compensate employees, maximise employee engagement and encourage behaviours that lead to organisational success. A good reward and recognition system should motivate employees while aligning their goals with those of the organisation. Such a system involves balancing employee remuneration...

...first day of purchase. I’m sure it would not be the most comfortable place to sleep in, but it would give me such a satisfaction to know I actually own a Ferrari. Plus, I would not want to step out of the car for one moment for at least the first couple of days. It would be my special place to go to when I’m having a bad day. In addition, I would probably take it to the racetracks, or the desert just to drive it as fast as I can, and to hear the sound of the engine. But my ultimate goal would be to out run a police officer minus being on the ten o’clock news being chased by a gang of police officers. Owning a F355 would be the best toy ever. It would be the ultimate swag-up, in other words, a rank in the class status. How many people you know can actually say they own a F355? That’s right, only those with super swag. The F355 is one of those cars you cannot help to look because of its beautiful body and style. It is super easy to spot because it is rare to see one on the road. Therefore, due to it uniqueness, slenderness and extra ordinariness, it is quite easy to...

...------------------------------------------------- I started geocaching as a way to lose weight. I have lost a little and I know I am more toned then I use to be. But I am still what people would call overweight. I prefer to be called curvy, womanly, or better yet just down right sexy. There is just more to me to love. I would probably lose more weight if I if I did not make such kick ass food. I currently work at a cupcake shop in the small town I live in. I work there to pay the bills while I’m working on psychology degree. I want to work with women who were in abusive relationships. For some reason I have never told my friends about my hobby or as I like to call it my other life. However, things in my world of geocaching is about to get interesting. Rosie couldn’t believe she had to come into work on her day off to learn how to use a fire extinguisher. It’s not like she meant to set the fire alarm off when she made a run glaze. Worst of all she forgot when she got dressed to go to her Zumba class when, Lisa, her co-worker texted her to remind her. So she had to go to work in a very unusual outfit. She was wearing fitted black sweat pants with a...

...rails is a great way to show guests just how special you feel they are. Some people view red carpets to be only for celebrities or world-renowned dignitaries; so when your guests walk the red carpet to your party, they will expect to receive VIP treatment--all in good fun. A`Time Frame * The best time for hosting a red carpet theme party is on the day of a special occasion or the date of a scheduled special event, such as an award show (Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards, etc.). For a movie premiere, the party entourage could go to the movies to watch the show and then have the party immediately following the show. The same agenda works for a concert or stage show. Make sure to have someone setting up the party during the show or have everything in place before heading off for the show, so that things will be easy to pull together when everyone arrives back at the party. Oftentimes if it is a movie premiere, one could wait until the movie comes out on video until hosting the party. This way everyone cand watch the movie during the party. Features * When guests arrive and begin to stroll the red carpet to the entrance, simulate the paparazzi by having a photographer or several photographers shooting flash photos. This is a great way for guests to feel special while creating a memento of the party for a future scrapbook or to share with friends. Inside of the party, be sure to treat guests like royalty by offering gift baskets or swag bags full of goodies, similar to what...

...I laid there on my bed, staring up at the ceiling. I had just gotten done with homework, and I wanted to enjoy some alone time in my room with nothing but the music coming out of my speakers. “Just some roughed up desperadoes; hanging tough through thick and thin…” The lyrics flowed out of the speakers and filled the whole room. I smiled, thinking about my own group of friends. We called ourselves the Nerd Swag Squad, but all we were was a bunch of nerds fighting through tough homework, teachers, and life. Everyone was told that Sophomore is year is the hardest year, but I didn’t feel like it was. In fact, to me, it was the funnest year. Laughing till we cried, texting for last minute homework dilemmas, and just sitting at a table with them. I closed my eyes, and let my mind taking a journey into memories past. *** Freshmen year was that...

...Do you remember your first childhood crush? It’s a safe bet that you do. Who could possibly forget the butterflies and silent awe that come along with being attracted to somebody for the first time. It’s also a safe bet that your first crush came in the form of a television personality. Think back. You’re five years old and sitting on your living room floor, playing with your trucks or your dolls while your mother watches television. You glance upwards, intending to return to your playing in just a couple of seconds, but something catches your eye and your life changes forever. There on the screen is the single most beautiful human being you’ve ever seen in your life. Your first childhood crush. That’s pretty much how it happened for all...

...before they graduate college. “However, through self-affirmation exercises, athletes can feel better about themselves, and be more willing to accept criticism” therefore they will be more prepared to deal with stress (Harrison and Rasmussen, p. 81). When an athlete is told they fall short academically, whether it is true or not, they begin to develop a negative self-identity. Take for example, about a week ago my Sociology professor asked the class about things we do to “cheat” the system. A classmate said that athletes do it all the time because they take easier classes and get special treatment for being an athlete. There are a few athletes in my class and I could tell this really bothered them. Now we can try to change the stereotype that athletes are stupid or get better treatment, but honestly there will always be people out there who believe the stereotypes. The best thing we can do is teach athletes how to deal with these stereotypes through self-affirmation exercises. The truth is the athletes are the only ones effected by these negative comments about athletes,...

...Manipulation for Dummies Youth culture is a predominant part of today’s society. It is near impossible to get away from youth culture because even the elderly are taking part in it. Old Timers who are trying to stay hip and col are studying day and night trying to decode the success of today’s youth. Some studies even show that eating enough oranges and blueberries a day will make you immortal. While the elderly are trying to get younger, the abundant tweens and teens are rushing to get older. While 16-year-olds are scurrying to get a fake I.D., middle aged men actually want cashiers to card them and senior citizens are somewhat embarrasses of their “Golden Age” discount. However, no matter how hard they try, kids will never be as influential as they seem to be. Teenagers somehow feel like they actually matter in the world. They make write blogs, post tumbles on Tumblr, tweet on Twitter and face on Facebook. However, all their attempts are futile. The majority of the population is governed by two main age groups: Middle-aged and old people. They don’t give two hoots about the youth. They run almost everything. From clothes to food to that little plastic part on the edge of our shoelaces. Having had to walk 10 miles just to get to the post office, back in their day, the elderly and the middle-aged should be given much more credit than they are due. The “Baby-Boomers” took the world by storm. They have been possibly the most influential generation the world has yet to...

...meaning cool, sharp. “Tuff” is similar to other slang words like swag, clean, or lit. Tuff from The Outsiders has many examples. One example was cars such as Mustangs and Corvette Stingrays. The Socs drove tuff, expensive cars. Another example of tuff was the Greasers hair. Their hair was long, slicked back, and covered with grease. Greasers believed their hair was a sign of being tuff. A third example of tuff was family. Family for the Greasers was everything. Johnny did not have a good home life, so the gang was his family. Since Ponyboy’s parents died, his family were his brothers and the gang....

...Good Evening Ladies, On behalf of Idenise Rodriguez, I, Jennifer Peets, am inviting you to be a part of The Project Concord as an initial board member. A little bit of back story on how we were all brought together. Idenise and I met at an event called Generocity Orlando. We were introduced by a mutual friend. We both went to this event with the same idea - to find a nonprofit we can be actively involved. There were many to choose from but we did not find one that truly excited us. We left there with our swag bag full of brochures hoping that when we looked them over one of them will ignite a spark. Idenise and I exchanged social media handles (who gives out their numbers so quickly these days?) so we can stay in touch. Later on she told me she was volunteering at an event where she would be donating her services as a hairstylist to the homeless. She informed me she has done this in the past and felt great about giving back to the many citizens of Orlando who are destitute of the basic needs. Something simple as a haircut gives these men and women hope that things are going to get better. Besides the haircuts, these citizens were given clothing, food, and vital needs you and I do not go without. Idenise had this idea to start her own nonprofit since none of the ones she and I looked at moved us to join. I immediately said I would love to help!...
