...start with all negativity gone, in my world, I would absolutely want no negativity there. Another thing would be to eliminate money because if we have money it could cause negativity, also people would want power and control and that clearly causes big problems. One other thing is to have every child have parents and a home. Negativity is not only an attitude but can cause long-term damage to the environment. Negativity would have to be gone because it causes a lot of pain and long term damage. I believe this because everything that causes negativity in the world affects a lot of people around us for a very long time. For instance, 9/11 caused great damage for a lot of people the family's...

...Undocumented Argument Some things in life can go unsaid but then there are things that need a voice. One thing that gets on my nerves is the blue lot parking area at Bloomsburg University. The blue lot is a stone parking lot located in the far left corner of upper campus directly to the left of JKA apartments completely out of the way and a huge inconvenience for college students that use it. Not to mention the university charges seventy five dollars to park there. The university police locks down the gated entrance every night causing people to be locked in or out. My position on the rules and regulations of the parking lot is strongly opposed and feel that it should be free. Not only is it absurd to pay for this parking but also that at times you are not even allowed to get to your own personal vehicle that you pay large amounts of money just to have and insure. This cause’s nothing but large inconveniences from many college students but also puts the ones who use it in possible danger. The location of the parking lot causes a lot of inconveniences. It’s not very close and is a hike just to get there. If you happen to be a new freshman or just a student still living in the dorms it takes a while to get your vehicle. First you have to walk all the way up to Centennial Hall building and wait for the shuttle then you have to take that all the way up to the recently new JKA apartments. Once there you then walk all the way past the apartments and through the gates and then...

... New House Decision I have decided that in this economy it is a good time to purchase a new house. This was a very big decision to make and a lot of thought went into to the decision that my husband and I have made. The housing market is down so the prices are low and so aren’t the interest rates. I have decided to purchase a home that is not that expensive and that needs work. I am looking into different types of mortgages that have a wide range of interest rates. I want to be able to pay my mortgage and pay for the work that needs to be done. When it is all fixed up, I want to get it appraised and hopefully sell it for a big profit or maybe rent it out depending on the market and the economy then. If for any reason I will not be able to sell or rent it out I can live in it for a while and save some money for my dream home. I have done the entire math and figured out how much my bills will be and what I can afford on my own, just in case my husband’s business gets slow again. I want to be able to pay for everything on my income only. With my husband being self-employed times can get tough and I never want to lose another house again. We lost a house a couple years back due to the economy and it was one of the hardest things we had to go through. We bought at the peak of the market back in 2004 and paid a lot for a home. My husband was making really good money at the time and we never thought that business would get slow. One day...

...room watching the dogs I asked if I could ask her some questions about her life for a project. The fifteen minute interview taken that afternoon is as follows: Q: Where and when were you born? A: I was born in 1945 in Hobbs, New Mexico. Q: And you have brothers and sisters, right? A: Yes, four brothers and no sisters. I’m 73 so my oldest brother is 75 [Carlton]. Then I had a brother [Charlie] who was killed in a car wreck when he was young, so he would be 70. Jerry is about 68. And my youngest brother Roland is 62 if I had to guess. Q: So when you were growing up who did what in the family? Who did all do chores and work and stuff like that? A: When I was really you we used to live next door to my grandmother and I remember having to do chores over there all the time. But when we moved to the other neighborhood I remember my brothers having to do chores but not me. I’d do dishes with my mom but I didn’t have anything else to do....

...described his entrepreneurial career in a video interview from his office in Boca Raton, Florida, in February 2001. Interviewer: Amy Blitz, HBS Director of Media Development for Entrepreneurial Management. The Early Years I grew up in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. Both my parents worked. They taught me a strong work ethic and a strong sense of morality. They also taught me to never, ever complain about anything in life. I had a brother who was three years younger than me. We grew up in a very competitive environment. We weren’t aware that it was competitive since that was just the way things were. Sports were everything in our world. We had millions of street games in front of the house. Basketball was the big sport, because in Brooklyn we didn’t have the big playing fields, so everybody played in the schoolyards. Three-man basketball was the game all weekend long. In the winter you’d shovel the snow away and play. The deal was that you played three-man ball and if you lost you got off the court. Winners stayed on. If you lost, you might wait two hours to get back on the court. The games were very competitive. We also learned how to pick our partners. To have a winning team in three-man ball, you need a good shooter, a good rebounder, and a good arguer. I was the...

...war one had just finished and the Weimar republic was facing a lot of problems. I think Stresemann did bring a recovery however some may say he just papered over the crack which in some cases is very true. However, I think overall he did rescue Germany. I think this because he saved the economy from the hyperinflation; he signed the Dawes plan and sorted out the problems with the treaty of Versailles. However, some people may say he didn’t help Germany because the culture was changed completely and the country basically ran riot. Also, at the time that Stresemann was in charge, politicians were being killed and there were many revolts. In my essay I will argue both sides but finally come to my own conclusion. In 1922, the German government announced that they couldn’t pay anymore reparations to France due to the state of the economy. The country was in far too much debt. Of course the French were not happy and therefore sent 60,000 French and Belgian soldiers to the Ruhr. The government was hated already because a lot of people blamed them for signing the treaty in the first place which meant they had to pay reparations to France they couldn’t afford. The government told the workers at the Ruhr to refuse to collaborate with the French, consequently, the industrial production stopped. This caused a rise in unemployment and a rise in Poverty. The government decided to print more money to give to the workers but this was the worst decision they could have made. The more money they...

...what we have seen in the past, or have experienced ourselves. I have been guilty of this very thing; everyone has a different perspective on the same situations. People that have religion see things different than people that don’t. Most people just see the situation from their perspective on the outside and they don’t take the time to ask questions or try to see the other side. After reading the following scenario, I would say that the first analogy of the situation fits well. You see that sort of situation all the time, whether you are at the grocery store or at Wal-Mart. I actually witnessed a situation like this once at a store called Game stops. These kids were so bad that they were running around knocking over the displays, the mother was patiently waiting in line to purchase the games that she bought. One of the guys that worked there had to stop the kids from destroying the store, while the mother paid no mind to what was going on. Where I live there are a lot of homeless people constantly walking around and asking for anything mainly money. These are the same people that are telling you that their car broke down and the just need a little gas to get home. Most of these homeless people don’t realize that they have asked the same people over and over usually because they are pretty drunk when they ask the first one hundred times. It gets old and frustrates you to the point of not wanting to help any more. I have a co-worker of mine that helps all the time and dose it...

... a. I think that Enterprise’s approach to human resource management would very well work in a lot of industries. One example of an industry that would benefit from this type of human resource management would be fast food industries. It allows people who may not have graduated in the top of their class and who may not have had the best GPA in school to still qualify to enter the company with a degree. They can show off their good work ethic and dedication by starting off at the bottom and working their way to the top. Having said that, job loyalty is greatly promoted in industries that perform in this way. 2. Does Enterprise face any risks from its HR strategy? b. Of course Enterprise faces risks from its HR strategy, as well as any other industry hiring brand new employees. There is always the struggle of teaching new employees the rules and strategies of the industry they are working for. They have to go through a training session to tell them what is expected of them and how they should go about doing their job. One good thing to note about Enterprise’s HR strategy is that they like to hire former athletes and former people who have been in a club of some sort so that they at least know they are hiring someone who has been dedicated to something at some point, and hopefully they can be just as dedicated to their job. 3. Would you want to work for Enterprise? Why or why not? c. Personally, I wouldn’t see myself working for Enterprise. Knowing I went to...

Rock dove right into the black hair industry, examining everything from relaxers and weaves to the chemicals in relaxers and where weave comes from. The highlight of this video was that it examines what hair means to black women. A host of celebrities and professionals shared their insight on black women and their hair. I chose this video for my opinion paper because I have always been obsessed with black hair. From the time I was young I knew what a relaxer was and I knew not to talk about a family member’s weave out loud. I have learned so much...

...This article was about the problem America has today with youth’s ages 16 – 19 not getting hired, or working as much as they used to. The article talked about how the unemployment rate of older teenagers has risen due to higher minimum wages. I really liked this journal. I have been working every summer since I was young, then when I turned 16 I entered the “real” work force, so this topic deals close to me. I think this article is right on saying that raising minimum wage only makes things worse. Sure we make more money an hour, but now everything we buy now costs a lot more to produce, driving costs way up. People think that if they get paid more then they will have more money, when in reality as they make more money, prices rise, actually causing them to have less money. Bring Back the Robber Barons- Daniel Henninger This article by Henninger is about the future of America, and how the Government is hindering us. I really like Henninger’s opinion on this topic. I believe that the government’s stimulus bill to create jobs is stupidity at its max. All this bill does is increase our debt. I like how he wants the barons to come back. Sure they made a lot of money, but they were new, innovative, and brought a new aspect into the game. I don’t think these political entrepreneurs can really help for the better as much as market entrepreneurs could. Once politics take over, the economy crashes. We have seen over and over how well socialists can run a country. The sooner we get...

...Adam, where are we? Adam Davidson I recorded this at the Ritz Carlton in Lower Manhattan. It's a black tie dinner. It was just a few weeks ago. Ira Glass And you, by the way, are NPR's international business and economics correspondent? Adam Davidson That's right. I was there for my job. They're giving out awards for all these financial securities, including the one that nearly brought down the global financial system in the whole sub-prime mortgage crisis. Dinner Mc At this time, I'd like to ask all of our stars to please assemble over here on the left side of the stage-- Jim Finkel This guy is a legend. He's a granddaddy of our industry. Adam Davidson I'm sitting at this dinner with Jim Finkel. He's kind of nervous, because he's up for CDO of the year for the CDO he created, Monterey. Now, the CDO, that's what we're talking about. That's the financial instrument that was central to this global credit crisis we're in. Ira Glass And they gave awards for this? These guys are giving each other awards for doing that? Adam Davidson Let me just say that they were aware that there's a certain irony, giving awards to the instrument that almost destroyed the world economy. And they did consider canceling this year. But it's been a really tough year. It's been really gloomy for them. Jim Finkel Honestly, I know this sounds-- I was really happy to see there were no major suicides, people weren't jumping off bridges, there weren't a lot of personal disasters. Adam Davidson ...

The amounts of people and violence that happens on this day, is one of the most violent Holidays we have. I don’t like taking part in it, because despite the amazing deals you get there’s tons of people who also have the same thought in mind and want that same thing. They also only stock so many of the product, so it’s first come, first serve and you basically have to be out there in the morning on Thanksgiving Day in order to get what you want.
