...Natalie Ruiz February 22, 2013 Eng 300 The Real Value of a College Education In today’s society, nearly every senior high school student is expected to continue their education by going to college. Campuses are admitting the highest number of freshmen than ever before while at the same time cutting down on the amount of class offered. Therefore, it is no surprise that the value of a college education has declined in the last couple years in respect to gaining academia knowledge; however, I believe it still holds great value in other aspects. A college education is not just beneficial for landing that great paying job; I believe it is also beneficial for personal growth, character, social interactions, and networking. Going to college and receiving a degree is empowering, but in order to increase the value of a college education, the problem within the system must first be addressed. In “Academically Adrift,” written by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa, the two authors discuss the reasons for a decline in higher learning. One of the first reasons mentioned is the lack of effort and desire students have to go to college or stay enrolled in college. They state that many high school students and young adults are practically “expected” to go to college regardless of their effort put in high school or their grade point average. This has an alarming affect on the students’ academic performance their first year in college. Arum and Roksa write, “Although growing proportions of high...

...This case is about the brand Dove, a successful brand for last 40 year. In 1957 it was positioned as the beauty bar. So in which business they Dove is in? It is beauty. So how do we define beauty? Beauty can be described as natural, pure, clean, fresh, aspiration, dream etc. It is difficult to define beauty, so it is more difficult to describe real beauty. The present case scenario is of 2007 where Unilever wants to reduce its 1600 brands to 400 brands and Dove would be one of the master brands. Dove has launched its “Real Beauty” campaign. At this point of time it has positioned as number one cleansing brand, with sales of $2.5 billion and presence in 80 countries. It started with a product beauty bar and now extended to body wash, face care, hair care, deodorants, anti- perspirants and body lotion. Huge investment is done for the brand promotion in advertisements, films, campaigns, events etc. The purpose of these campaigns could be that it wants to move to real beauty from cleansing agent. But before, one should know the core identity and extended identity of Dove, and does it need to be changed with time. Dove 1957 Dove 2007 BM Case Write Up Dove: Evolution of Brand EI CI CI EI Basically Dove is known for moisturizing the skin. The customer value proposition is the non dry skin, which has given it a unique position in the market. They have never called themselves as soap; it is always as a beauty bar.

...Mark Sheridan Professor Gerl ENG 106 November 3, 2012 Educational Inadequacies in the United States Does the educational system in the United States actually teach our children to become individuals, or is it a method to help oppress them so that they will act as “manageable beings” and that will not become negligible individuals in our society (Friere 9). There have been many notions on the inadequacy of our education system here in the United States. Many individuals have commented that the education of our children is not working. As many more immigrants move into this country, the already compound educational system becomes even more complex. With the additions of special language instruction, low funding for materials, and the fear of violence in the schools growingrows, these concerns of the system today may not be the main problem. The real problem may be that our children are not allowed to think for themselves and, or even absorb the real reason why the solution to a problem has become the solution. something is the way it is. Paulo Friere’s essay, “The Banking Concept of Education”, points out the method that is used in our educational system today is flawed, inadequate, and promotes an oppressive attitude on society. He is blaming the banking method, which requires the student to “memorize, and repeat” (4). This method is insufficient and does not allow the “contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students” (7). This contradiction allows...

...Jessica Muth Muth 1 Eng 090 Professor Julie Voss 1 May 2012 A Journey in Education It’s said that the harder you work for something the more you appreciate it once you have it. We live in a world where people are constantly trying to find the easy way to do things. Man has developed technologies to make his life easier such as automatic cars, automatic doors, escalators, elevators, and many other inventions that take the work out of something. We all use these easy methods and some wouldn’t know how to live without them, but are they really the best thing for our society? I have found in my life that the harder I have to work at something the better I feel when I accomplish it. I have also found that doing the bare minimum to accomplish something isn’t as rewarding and leaves me feeling like a failure instead of successful. Since going back to school I have learned the value of hard work and education and the sense of accomplishment once “my all” has been applied. Learning how to ride a bike was the one of the most difficult things I’ve ever accomplished. I didn’t learn at a young age like most kids. I was what one would call a “late bloomer”. I remember how far away the ground seemed, how fast I felt I was going, and how unsteady I felt. I remember I fell many times, but I was driven by the fact that all of my friends had bikes and I was stuck on rollerblades. So, I kept trying, and trying until finally I did it. I rode a whole twenty feet and kept going...

...and Retail employs approximately 17,500 individuals; including individuals employed at Statoil Fuel & Retail’s retail sites across Europe, in its corporate headquarters, its eight regional headquarters and its terminals and depots. With Oil prices currently dropping below $30 a barrel, today companies like Statoil are now considerably worse off than they were in the darkest hours in their entire history. As oil prices continue to fall there is a global tendency for companies, especially in the oil industry, to prioritize for short-term earning rather than long term value creation. From the case, we find the management under the leadership of Einar Eng who understood that the company needed to take steps to enhance the expertise and tenure of valuable human resources to better position his company for the future. Mr. Eng thought of a recommendation to steer the committee to information technology (IT) which stands to be a major initiative of boosting the employees’ knowledge of IT and their ability to use the technology especially for business and personal advantage. In 1996 the vision of empowering employees to enhance their personal and professional capacity through e-learning was an ambitious one. Part of the program had the potential for offering additional training modules that employees could complete on their own free time in exchange for the state-of-the-art multimedia home PC with free internet connection...

...Mackenzie Swartzman AP Eng. Lang & Comp., 5.11 Nature is living just as much as people; however a lot of people forget the actual beauty in it. There is constantly something moving, living, breathing. Birds are something we see everyday of our lives and don’t pay much attention to. They fly with beauty and elegance, engulfing the sky as they fly without a care in the world. John Audubon and Annie Dillard are two individuals that took the time to admire these beautiful creatures. Both individuals describe the birds in flight, but it such different ways. Dillard gives an artful description of the bird’s movement while Audubon gives a scientific description. Audubon takes a scientific approach when speaking of the large number of pigeons in flight. Even though he doesn’t necessarily use specific scientific terms, when compared to Dillard’s piece, he is much more professional in a way. He says things like, “the … buzz of wings had a tendency to lull my senses to repose.” While this is not hard to understand, it still creates a deeper thought in the reader’s mind rather than just saying, “the sound of their wings relaxed me.” This strategy of scientific descriptions and professionalism give a stronger realization to what the writer is actually trying to say, and what image he was trying to produce in the reader’s mind. Audubon speaks more sophisticated when he explains the flock as “rushing in a compact mass” and darting “forward in undulating and angular lines...

... Concerned parents fear that viewing inappropriate images presented by the media will corrupt America's youth. They cringe at the idea of our nation's children growing up to be vicious killers due to the brutal violence often seen on TV. Some blame television for most, if not all, of the ills of society and its children. "Truly it accounts for about 10 percent of violence, which means that 90 percent is caused by other things," Leonard Eron says. "Violence is a multi-determined behavior. It's caused by genetic, biological, physiological, macroeconomic and macro social factors, all of which can account for some part of the variance." Understanding the source of individual violent attacks helps us to isolate the cause, as well as to learn from others mistakes. While flipping through various channels, one can see a multitude of programs ranging from history, to...

...Distant Learning and High School Students Distance learning in educational institutions has become very popular in today’s society. This type of learning that has been implemented into the high school environment as an alternative to traditional classes for some students. It is precisely this situation that studies are being conducted to determine if high school students should be allowed to take online courses. Even though studies have shown distance learning in the high school environment has taken away the teacher/student direct interaction and inhibits socializing with other students, allowing this type of learning to continue may be more beneficial in today’s society because further research still needs to be conducted. The use of technology has made classrooms accessible via the World Wide Web and studies have shown some interesting facts about online learning in the high school environment. One main study showed that there were issues with technology itself and the lack of in-class discussions among students. Williamson, Bernhard & Chamberlin (2000) noted that in what they call “Far View Courses” that there were technical problems within the virtual classroom with audio and video freezing up. Advances in technology have reduced many of these problems over the past fourteen years. Back in 2000, the internet was slow compared to today. Multiple students can sign into class at the same time and are able to stay on pace with the lectures and readings. They also noted...
