...successful life is a fruitful life that points to Christ. In my opinion Mr. Anthony Rossi lived a very successful life, not only is he know as a great man and great business man. He is more importantly known as a great man of God. Section 1: Character Traits Unfortunately, there are not many men that are like Mr. Anthony Rossi. He was a man of many strong character traits. Just one of these traits would be hard to find in a man, let alone all of them in one man. In fact, I believe that if more men possessed these traits there would be a smaller amount of passive men which would lead to stronger families and more God-honoring families. One of the traits that Mr. Rossi had was he was a Godly man. When he truly found out who Jesus was, finding out more or just being in a constant relationship with Jesus was his top priority. We see this a couple times in the book. First was when we read He got up every morning and spent time in God’s Word.1 This isn’t just something you do just because you just happened to wake up early. He made it part of his daily schedule, he set aside time specifically for growing in his relationship with Christ. A second time we see this is when a bible study with his friends becomes a must for him to go to.2 Mr. Rossi was a very busy man with a growing Tropicana business but he made sure he had time to go to this bible study to deepen his relationship with Christ.

...I’m Looking for a man with the following qualities RICH RICH RICH “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” In the opening sentence of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen sets an intriguing tone to this book, while facetious in itself. The words “truth” and “universally” are used to indicate that this is the social conventions which everyone follows under all circumstances. As I read further into the book, it seems that the “acknowledged” truth is not that a wealthy, eligible single men are in want of a wife, but instead is that the young women and their mothers are pursuing such a man in order to establish a marriage relationship with him. Austen emphasized her point by using the technique of irony and satire in this sentence, this position...

...discuss the leadership style and how it contributed to unethical behavior, proper segregation of duties may have prevented the fraud, the company’s compensation program that probably contributed to the fraud, how culture may have influenced the behavior towards revealing the fraud, and recommendations of how Mai Won should proceed. To understand the company KingJewels, let us discuss a little history of the company and its owner, Andy Wong. Mr. Wong started in the jewelry business from the bottom as an apprentice and worked his way to the top as sales and sourcing manager of an international jewelry before starting his own business. “He recognized that his company had the potential to expand and internationalize its business further by focusing on jewelry design and technology, and on overseas markets. KingJewels specialized in sourcing, trading, and manufacturing precious gemstones. It prided itself on its fashionable and affordable jewelry products. While Wong had successfully turned KingJewels into a highly competitive business, he left KingJewels internal management to Clement Tam, operations manager”. (Capstone p.96) In January 2006, after the books were closed for the year, some irregularities were found by a key staff member. It was discovered that a key member of upper management had accepted compensation, or advantages in return for manipulating KingJewels records, approving the use of substandard gemstones, bribing those under him to keep their mouth shut...

...How does the character of Mr. Birling reflect British society in 1912? The character of Mr. Birling is very important in 'An inspector calls' because he reflects how many upper class people (especially men) treated others in different classes. His character is vital to get across Priestley's socialist ideologies. Firstly, Mr. Birling exclaims how he is not "a purple-faced old man.", this suggests that most men of authority were greedy, only cared for themselves and had a lot of money to waste on things like excessive food. Secondly, we can see that Sheila and Gerald's engagement "means a tremendous lot to [Birling].", this is very similar to the society at that time as many people used others for their own personal gain. The engagement will help the Birling's business by raising their social class. Next, during this time period sexism towards woman was just every day life. Mr. Birling asks "Are you listening Sheila?", this reflects sexism within society as most men felt women weren't as intelligent as them so had to be spoken to in a simpler manner. Birling thinks it's "a very good time," for the engagement. This is an excellent example of dramatic irony as in 2 years time World War one was to begin. In 1912 people with authority were blind to the devastation that was to come, as was Mr. Birling. The character of Mr. Birling is an excellent illustration of ignorant upper class citizens in 1912. "We've past the worst of it." highlights that most people...

...slave-owning families who think they are being humane, but in reality, no business with owning human beings is in any way humane. “I was a fool to think I could make anything good out of such a deadly evil...” says Mrs. Shelby. As she said this, she was coming out of her denial, and finally realizing how slavery can destroy families. She continues in saying, “... I thought I could gild over it. I thought by kindness, and care, and instruction, I could make the condition of mine better than freedom. Fool that I was (Stowe, 33)!” It seems that Mrs. Shelby never did think of slavery as being a good, Christian thing to do, rather the opposite. But she never admitted it to herself, until now. The situation is that, Harry, a young slave boy, is being ripped from his mother Eliza and sold to a ruthless trader, Mr. Haley, to pay a large debt. Uncle Tom, the most trusting and loyal slave of the Shelby’s, is also part of the deal. Uncle Tom, the man who held his master Mr. Shelby as a newborn in his arms, is being sold. For Mrs. Shelby, there is nothing to be done, though. As a woman in her time, she has no rights to business decisions. This brings in another situation. Mr. Shelby considers himself to be a humane man. He says it succinctly to Mr. Haley in eight words, “The fact is, sir, I’m a humane man, and would hate to take the boy away from his mother (Stowe, 7).” But what is the definition of a humane man in the slave-owning Kentucky of the 1840s? One cannot slip into the thinking...

...Society: Crises of Capitalism It’s a Wonderful Life – Trust, Respect and Personal Responsibility in Business We tend to think of the past with nostalgia. The stories of our grandparents about simpler times when there was trust and respect, when families lived and stayed together, doors could be left unlocked, shopkeepers and businesses knew their customers. Some grandparents lived through the early 20th century untouched by the Great Depression. However, others struggled against forces that they did not understand. The banks and businesses that they had trusted had “failed” and they were suddenly without jobs or homes. Most Americans did not have any idea what had happened to the banks or how a bank could “fail”. With only newspapers and limited radio to rely on for information, they felt abandoned by the institutions they had trusted. The film It’s a Wonderful Life addresses the impact that a loss of trust has on a community and equally important, the failure of big business to respect those they serve. Frank Capra recognized that his film would be more than “good versus evil” in the form of George Bailey versus Mr. Potter. The citizens of Bedford Falls represented every small town in America where the lives of working class people centered on cooperation, sharing equity, fairness, and justice. They had a perception of trust and respect built on these values in which business and friendship went hand in hand. Capra shows us that the economic culture of Bedford Falls...
