...women up to 10:1. And 95% of senior management is male, female managers earn on average only 68% of the males of the same level. In my opinion, that is still inequalities of women. Many excellent career women and female researchers are careful thought, patience and endurance, good communication and coordination. They have many advantages and senior management or scientific research need them. There are some examples of women have success in the top jobs. The first example is Meg Whitman who is currently the president and CEO of Hewlett-Packard, eBay former CEO. When she served as president and CEO. Of her successful leadership, eBay has become a global online marketplace for the world's number one consumer e-commerce sites. And she help grasp the direction of the eBay companies in the new economy, and the company has cultivated a truly global market. Also she become the most powerful women in business of U.S. "Fortune" magazine in 2004.The second example is in the politics.

...Rebecca Jane Rigby 12JPO Sociology - Essay Write a rejoinder to Margaret Thatcher’s claim that ‘there is no such thing as society’ Everyone has their own definition of what they feel is society. The common characterization being that it is a community of people living in a particular region and having shared customs, laws, and organizations. There are a wide range of societies within our country which collectively form our British society. We are a formation of various races, religions and classes and it has been this way for as long as we can remember. Having dissimilarity in our country is what defines us as a group as well as individuals. To say that there is no such thing as society is demonstrably false. Humans are born in groups, raised in groups, work in groups, play in groups, defend their interests in groups, and die in groups. These groups are organized, specialized, interdependent, and greater than the sum of their parts. In fact, individuals owe their very existence to group behaviour. Human beings almost never live outside groups, and if they do, it is usually only briefly. True hermitism is extremely rare. Even such recluse authors and rugged individualists as Ralph Waldo Emerson (who wrote "nothing can bring you peace but yourself" in his essay ‘Self-Reliance’) depended on the publishing house and national sales to make him world famous and shore up his lifestyle. As a society, which has grown up with the development of technology, we are judgemental;...

...Compare and Contrast how feelings of fear and confusion are conveyed through the use of imagery and other poetic techniques. I am going to compare the use of poetic devices to portray fear and confusion in 3 different poems, they are; Patrolling Barnegat by Walt Whitman, On the Train by Gillian Clarke, and Storm on the Island by Seamus Heaney. These poems all portray a feeling of confusion, often it is linked with the theme of war. In Patrolling Barnegat, Walt Whitman uses repetition to enhance the power of the storm he is describing. "Wild, Wild the storm, and the sea high running" The repetition of wild in this line helps to enforce the power of the storm and nature. Whitman also uses personification in this line where he compares the movement of the sea to a person running, as if he is saying that the sea will move for nobody. He is also making it sound as if the sea is rushing to get somewhere as if it is on a mission. Whitman also incorporates rhyme in his poem. This gives his poem a strong rhythm and this rhythm ties in with the image of the rolling sea, and gives this image more effect. In Storm on the IslandSeamus Heaney also describes a vivid, powerful storm. He describes the storm like he has learnt from past experience. He describes preparing for the storm as if he has gone through it many times before. "Can raise a tragic chorus in a gale" Here Seamus Heaney is comparing the storm to a tragic chorus, which ...

...America and that is the exact point where the similarities of the two poets begin to fade away. Whitman’s view of America is positive, focusing on life of everyday people in America. Where McKay’s view of America is much more negative and focusing only on the hate and racism in the country. In some ways he appears to be angry towards life in America but also can not love the country. They both use various literary tools to portray their self view on America. In the poem, "I Hear America Singing" Walt Whitman shows many different ways of positive living in the everyday life of American citizens. In this poem, Whitman uses phrases like "strong melodious songs" to show the gratitude towards the ability to working hard labor and well support a family. It also shows how hard working men use their imagination and physical strength of well mixing the beauty and happiness with the songs that they sing. The "varied carols" refers to the culture and life of America.The attitude that Whitman has towards America is that he sees it as his way of the ideal part of human life. Claude Mckay's poem "America" expresses the hardship of living in a country full of hate and Mckay acknowledges this by using words like "bitterness," "hate," and "sinking." "Sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth, stealing my breath of life" shows how the unequal treatment of people effect the spirit of proud citizens in America. "Her vigor flows like tides into my blood, Giving me strength erect against her hate."...

...the poem “Oh Captain My Captain” by Walt Whitman is about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and many people are shocked to see their hero be assassinated, and reveals that Lincoln has earned respect, leadership, and gratitude. Lincoln earned respect by going out to the war and fighting to preserve the Union. Whitman uses metaphors to show the respect Lincoln has earned. “For you the flag is flung”, this metaphor shows that Lincoln was an important person, and for that reason we will raise the flag to show our honor for him. Whitman shows that he is Mournful for the loss of Lincoln. “For the bugle trills” is another metaphor Whitman uses to show his honor, they are blowing the trumpets Many people are thankful for Lincoln because he fought in the war to free the slaves from the southern states, and he also gave them back their human dignity back. In the poem “Oh Captain My Captain” Whitman says “rise up and hear the bells”, the bell are ringing to celebrate a victory and the people are rejoicing. They are celebrating that the war is over and they won, but yet many are also bereave, because of him they are free and aren’t slaves anymore. “For you bouquets and ribbon wreaths”, in this line it means that they put bouquets and ribbons on his grave to show their sorrow for the loss of Lincoln. Lincoln is also a great leader.” My Captain! Our fearful trip is done; The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won” Whitman is saying here that the war is over and...

...he meeting had dragged on for more than an hour that rainy day in Seattle, and Jeff Bezos had heard enough. The CEO had rounded up 15 or so senior engineers and managers in one of Amazon’s offices to tackle a question buzzing inside the company: Should Amazon bust open the doors of its most prized data warehouse, containing its myriad databases, and let an eager world of entrepreneurs scavenge through its data jewels? For several years, scores of outsiders had been knocking on Amazon’s door to gain access to the underlying data that powers the $7 billion retailer: product descriptions, prices, sales rankings, customer reviews, inventory figures, and countless other layers of content. In all, it was a data vault that Amazon had spent more than 10 years and a billion dollars to build, organize, and safeguard. So why on earth would Bezos suddenly hand over the keys? Because in the hands of top Web innovators, some at the meeting argued, Amazon’s data could be the dynamo of new websites and businesses that would expand the company’s already gigantic online footprint and ultimately drive more sales. Others worried about the risks. A free-forall, one manager warned, would “change our business in ways we don’t understand.” Bezos ended the debate with characteristic gusto. He leaped from his seat, aping a flasher opening a trench coat. “We’re going to aggressively expose ourselves!” he declared. Today, there’s considerable reason to cheer Bezos’ exhibitionist...

...useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined, The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here—that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. Abstract Meaning In his poem “O Me, O Life,” Walt Whitman questions the futility of life. Whitman ponders on the rapid advancement of our world through economy’s eyes. Though he admits to the disappointment that can be felt through human achievement, he also conducts an argument through a powerful metaphor at the end of his poem recognizing the importance of human purpose, “Answer… That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.” Whitman argues that every person is contributing to human existence because they are living and breathing. He connects this idea to the rest of his poem by using a question and answer format. At the beginning of his poem he introduces his final argument, “Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,/ Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the/ foolish”. Whitman conducts his question to the uselessness of life (the question) and hints his audience to his argument by comparing faithless and foolish. This conveys the idea that being faithless about life is “foolish.” This comparison also relates to industrialization (advancement of economy) through the reference to trains and cities, which also...

...David Deaton Mr. Huitt American Lit and Comp 24 January 2014 Dickinson versus Whitman Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson's works have numerous differences. Compared to Dickinson's short and seemingly simple poems, Whitman's are long and often complex. Yet both twentieth century writers share several similarities when scrutinized thoroughly. Though their approaches differ, they often deal with the same themes, and both pioneered their own unique style of writing. Using death as a theme is probably the strongest connection that Whitman and Dickinson share. Whitman's view on death is reflective of his belief in Transcendentalism. In "Song of Myself", Whitman uses the scientific principle of the conservation of energy to assert that there is life after death, because energy cannot be destroyed; only transformed. In stanza six, he writes "And what do you think has become of the women and children?/ They are alive and well somewhere,/ The smallest sprouts shows there is really no death" (Whitman 124-126). Whitman contends that life remains long after death, Dickinson's writings on death are more complex and contradictory. She personifies death, generally seeing as a lord or as a compelling lover. In one of her more popular poems, "Because I could not stop for Death", death is like a kindly courter. He picks her up in a "Carriage held but just for Ourselves-/ And Immortality" (Dickinson 3-4). Many of her other poems are about the moment of death, and what happens when the living...

...In 1940 Woody Guthrie,wrote a wonderful song called ¨This Land is Your Land.”He sang this song all across America, he told everyone own this land not the people who can afford it. He wrote hundreds and more songs for people like Woody, also to make them feel better unlike other songs that make you think you are useless. Woody is a true artist who only sings from the heart. There are two famous pieces of writing that Woody Guthrie said/sang. One was a song and the other was a quote. The song and the quote are similar and different in many ways. There are many similarities between the famous song and an inspirational quote. One way they are similar is in both the song and quote Woody states that he's not going to give up. In the song it...

...Whitman lived his life outside of the boundaries of the society of his time. His whole life he jumped from job to job. (norton) This way of living allowed him to live the life of a man without limits. Living this kind of lifestyle allowed Whitman to develop the free verse writing. Free verse writing is writing without any need to rhyme or have a set meter. Free verse writing became Whitman’s signature it was what made his writing different from the normal poets writing at the time. Whitman’s free verse opened many doors to changing the way he wrote, it allowed him to become a truly free thinker. Lived by his rules, he even was not afraid of going after the editors of his time, he even promoted women’s voting and their right on own property....

...Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson are two of the most significant writers during the 19th century. Whitman and Dickinson are interesting writers because they both had a very unique and powerful style of writing, which can be seen in the poems “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” and poem “236.” By comparing and contrasting Walt Whitman’s poem, “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” and Emily Dickinson’s poem “236,” people will see the similarities and the differences in many ways, but both poems have a very powerful message written within the words. The two poems are similar in innumerable ways. For example, in the poem “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer,” the narrator is in a lecture room listening to an educated astronomer talk about the...

...HRM 87 Companies must evolve throughout the years to stay in business. They must keep up with technology demands, changes in the economy, as well as cultural changes when there is change in leadership. This paper is going to discuss. The changes that Home Depot and Hewlett Packard has gone through when they change the Chief Executive Officers and how it impacted the companies positively and negatively. Hewlett Packard announced in 2011 that they were replacing the then CEO Leo Apotheker with former EBay CEO Meg Whitman. [ (Chan, 2011) ]According to Whitman, “HP is investing in innovation, bringing cost in line with revenue, improving profits, lowering debt, optimizing cash flow, and exceeding financial performance.” [ (Takahashi, 2013) ] Instead changing the way that HP did things when Apotheker was CEO, Whitman seems to tweak the way HP will improve their businesses by investing more in business printers rather than expanding into tablets and smartphones as their competitors have done. Home Depot replaced CEO Robert Nordelli with Frank Blake in 2007 and is reported by Reuters an improvement in the culture of the business. When Nordelli was CEO Home Depot would focus on metric c sales b y making sure that the stores would all carry the same merchandise rather than allowing the stores to order what they need. In other words, if a store sold double the snow shovels than water hoses but another store sold more water hoses than snow shovels, under Nordelli both...

...and poems. When I started the class I didn’t know what to expect and as the class went on I continuously learned more about different types of writing and most importantly myself. Even the pieces of writing that I didn’t like I could connect with, there was always an underlining symbolism or metaphor that made it possible. But like any person I had favorites and least favorites. Walt Whitman’s ‘I saw in Louisiana a Live Oak Growing’ all the way from week one was one of my favorite pieces of writing we have read all semester. The writing speaks, telling the reader to reach out for friendship and companionship. The last two lines ‘uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend a lover near, I know very well I could not,’ (Whitman pg. 7). Whitman is telling the reader that life would mean very little without the company we keep. I can relate to what he is saying because it couldn’t be more true. There is not a single person in this world, no matter how strong or independent that would make it without at least one other person in their life. This piece makes me think of my family, which is so important to me. Another of my favorite reads was one of the shortest of the semester in week three, Carl Sandburg’s ‘A Fence’. There was a big emotional pull in this story for me. The emotional fence is the one that people put up to keep away the bad but also turns out to keep away the good. The poem mentions ‘As a fence, it is a masterpiece and will shut off the rabble and all...
