...When I’m stuck and have no idea what to do, no matter what the problem is there is only one person that I know I can turn to. No we aren’t the same age, we didn’t grow up in the same time period, but she knows exactly what I go through. This women is more than a best friend to me, she’s my mom. There are many girls that don’t have a very good relationship with their mom. Not every girl can tell her mom everything she goes through. Me on the other hand, I talk to my mom about everything that goes on in my life. Whether its problems at school, in cheer, with friends, even the boy problems, or just when I want to have a nice conversation with someone, my mother is the one that is all right by my side with open ears and ready to listen to everything I have to say. I do see my mom as someone who has made a big impact on my life. Working 12-hour shifts over night just to make sure we are together as a family at least during dinner. Always making sure that as a mother all her kids are happy and feel loved. She is very hard working and very dedicated to everything she does. My mom is someone who takes on as much as she can to make sure my brothers, my sisters, and I grow up with everything she never had as a kid or while she was growing up. Every day I am around girls here at school that don’t have that good of a relationship with their moms, and that makes me feel very blessed to have someone in my life that I can go to no matter what. Some that I know how will always be a true friend...

...Langston Hughes (1902-1967) Langston Hughes was the first African American writer in the United States to earn a living as a writer. He was born in Joplin, Missouri, and because of his parents’ separation he lived in several places including places in the American mid-west and Mexico. He attended Columbia University, but stopped his studies because of the discrimination he experienced at the hands of his white counterparts. Hughes was a prolific writer and his themes were driven by the racial oppression that he witnessed all around him and that he experienced first hand as well. Hughes was a prominent member of the Harlem Renaissance, which was a time in America when African Americans experienced a flowering of intellectual and cultural activities in the African American communities in Harlem, New York. Alain Locke referred to this era as the New Negro Movement. During this time, Langston Hughes and other African writers’ words were full of protest and great expressions of the social injustices that were bestowed upon African Americans. Langston Hughes often wrote about the second class citizenship status that African Americans experienced, and the ills of segregation were key themes in his writings. His writings not only voiced protest, but the theme of rejection was present in his writings. He wrote about his personal rejection from everywhere when searching for work....

On the central powers side it was just another day in July. We started off by doing our morning routines and going through our day when all of a sudden we all heard shells in the distance. Then hundreds of thousands of shells (the official count was about 1.4 million) rained down on our side of the line they were landing everywhere, one landed next to me! But it didn’t go off, most of the shells didn’t go off and we lost some good men. But the allied men pushed forward it wasn’t any time to grieve yet. The allied pushed forward mercilessly but we stood strong and were pushed back a few miles until the allied realized they lost too many men.

Precision has played a huge role in my personal life as well. Being precise has helped me to open up and ask questions to make sure I have proper understanding of any situation.

...The environment plays a huge role in human behavior from larger things like whether the country that a person lives in is at war to smaller things like the type of weather that is typical for that specific area. You may have heard of the term nature vs. nurture before. This is a term that psychologists use to describe different reasons for why people behave in the ways that they do. Nature refers to people’s DNA. This is their inherent genetic makeup that plays a role in not only their behavior but also in their outward appearance. Nurture describes the environment that people live in including each person’s own experiences within their family but also their experiences in the larger world and within their community. Human beings are programmed response in every sense of the word. We learn everything that we are from others. We are not born with knowledge or personality; we acquire those from society-at-large. As an example; if, at the moment you were born, you were exchanged with a baby being born in Ethiopia, and your skin, hair, and eyes were altered to that of other Ethiopians, you would grow up and be an entirely different person. Your taste in food, music, dress, and all your aspects of culture would be entirely different from who you are today. If the two of you were to meet as adults, neither would recognize similar behavioral attributes in the other. Each of you would have entirely different personalities. Genetically, you may have the same physical...

...PEREVOZNAYA, Russia — Stretching from Lake Baikal to the Sea of Japan, the first trans-Siberian oil pipeline is to run 4,150 kilometers - more than three times as long as the trans-Alaska pipeline. At a cost of $15.5 billion, it looms as modern Russia's biggest infrastructure investment, President Vladimir Putin's answer to the Trans-Siberian Railway of the czars. Because China and Japan both rely on the Middle East for about 85 percent of their oil imports, both economic giants competed fiercely over what could be the world's longest and most expensive oil pipeline. Trumping China with a more generous financing offer, Japan, the world's second-largest oil importer, hopes that the pipe, 1.2 meters, or four feet, in diameter, will bind it to Russia, the world's second-largest oil exporter. It may be a decade before the 2,580-mile pipeline is completed. But the line would represent an increase of about one-third in Russia's oil pipeline export capacity and would signify a major Russian shift toward the Pacific, where oil could be sold to any country, including the United States. The project faces major hurdles. There are no guarantees that there will be enough oil to fill the pipeline, although Russia has as much as 67 billion barrels of untapped oil reserves along the pipeline route. When the oil reaches the Sea of Japan, there are no public commitments binding Russia to sell it to Japan, whose ports are only a day's sail away. And Russia's last-minute switch of the...

...‘Decisions involving huge outlays of capital are almost always classic gut decisions: they involve risky, inherently ambiguous judgements between unclear alternatives.’ Do you agree? Justify your answer using decision-making theory and relevant examples from at least two industries. With the development of globalisation, numerous international business and investors come across decision-making every day, and sometimes need to discover solutions for high capital investment in different environments. Some people suggest that most of those decisions are generated out of top managers’ intuition to make vague directions in uncertain environments. This essay argues Managerial decision making consists of intuitive thinking and systematic thinking: both are important but more systematic thinking should be used particularly in decision making of huge capital outlays. This essay will demonstrate the argument by defining relationship among decision, information and environment; strengths and issues of gut decision (intuitive thinking), systematic thinking; in addition, intuitive and systematic thinking are supported by theories through historical and current approaches and industrial applications respectively. First of all, the availability of information influences outcome of decision making. “Decision” (Schermerhorn Jr, Davidson, Poole, Simon, Woods, and Chau 2011p.70), is to choose the most suitable way of sequence of activities. In management theory, Schermerhorn et al. (2011)...

...‘Countries at very low levels of economic development face such huge challenges that they cannot hope to address them without assistance from the rest of the world’. To what extent do you agree with this view? Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is the total value of goods and services produced by a country in a year, along with Gross National Product (GNP). This measures the total economic output of a country. These are two major indicators that help gauge a countries economic development. Several countries around the world have GDP’s less than $750, accompanied by populations earning roughly $1 a day. Life expectancies can also be as low as 40 years old in such areas. Poor levels of health care, literacy rates and schooling do not help an already disastrous cause, income too small to accommodate basic needs and resources, exemplify these issues. These are often defining signs of low developing countries (LDC’S). Within the 50 countries worldwide recognized as LDC’s a staggering 33 of these countries are situated in Africa, with 374 million Africans earning and having to live off $2 each day. LDC’s will continue to struggle economically due to factors that withdraw them from making development advances. Over the last 5 years Niger has accumulated roughly $965.5 Million in external debt. This is borrowing money from countries, IMF, World Bank and other multilateral agencies. This debt of Niger and other LDC’s has been amplified by factors beyond their control. Uncertainty...

...‘Countries at very low levels of economic development face such huge challenges that they cannot hope to address them without assistance from the rest of the world’. To what extent do you agree with this view? The UN classifies a country as a LDC if it meets the three criteria, low income (three year average income of less than US $750), human resource weakness and economic vulnerability (instability of imports, exports, agricultural production etc.). There are 49 LDCs in the world, 33 are in Africa, 15 in Asia and the Pacific and 1 in Latin America. The UN describes them as ‘the poorest and most economically weak of the developing countries with formidable economic, institutional and human resource problems which are compounded by geographical handicaps and natural and man-made disasters’. These countries face huge challenges such as the quality of life within them, recourses when distributed in many countries are not enough to provide for the needs of people on a sustainable basis. In 2005 it was estimated that 227 million people within LDCs were living on less than US $1 per day. As of 2013 there were 1.2 billion people living of less than US $1.25 a day. In some cases the population has been falling, but high population growth means that the actual numbers have increased in the long term. Poverty is much higher in places such as Africa 374 million people are living on less than US $2 a day compared to 203 million people in Asia. Another problem these countries face is...
