...Isaiah Hailey This paper was prepared for BUSN-115 Taught by Professor Lori Farr. Week #: 5 Assignment How will basic business skills play a role in your professional life? What you don't know will hurt you. As a professional it couldn't hurt to know as much information as possible regarding not only in your trade but also general business knowledge. Ask yourself, what makes a successful professional? In any professional setting their are common key behaviors, actions, and way of thinking that are universal that are used to craft yourself into the ideal expert in your career. Basic business skills can sometimes be easily looked over in this process. Business skills are vital because they incorporate a array of different skills that are important for any job type. For one people skills are critical no matter what your job entails. Public speaking, handling tense interactions, and using effective teamwork and collaboration skills with other professionals are just a few traits needed. “Too many recent grads are not equipped to present the company well over the phone or in person at networking events, new business meetings, etc.,” says Graham Chapman, account coordinator/new business director at 919 Marketing, a PR and marketing firm in Holly Springs, North Carolina. “If you can’t speak [or] present yourself well, it is hard to help a company drive business.” Proper communication can be...

...Human beings are undoubtedly the most sophisticated life forms on Earth. We are capable of many remarkable feats, but the one attribute that separates from other life on Earth is the ability to rationalize and reason. Because of this, humans have been able to form a society in which our activities are judged to be right or wrong. This phenomenon is known as morality and is only existent in human society. As expected, when dealing with such advanced life forms, it becomes quite difficult to determine what actions are just and which are immoral. Also often there are exceptions to each rule, which further clouds our ability to differentiate between the two sides of the spectrum. Therefore, a closer analysis of natural law and its protocols is needed in order to gain a better understanding of the unwritten rules and logic behind them that form our society. According to Dr. Alfonso Gomez-Lobo of Georgetown University, there is a list of basic goods by which we live. These commodities, more or less, are intended to be universal to all human beings, as they are essential for healthy human function. This list includes life, family, friendship, work and play, experience of beauty, theoretical knowledge, integrity, and depending on who follows this list, religion often appears as a disputed, subjective good. Perhaps one of the more intriguing questions discussed concerning this compilation of goods is what exactly makes these goods “basic?” There have also been questions of how to prioritize...

...hierarchy. The basic needs are food water warmth and rest, the basic needs. The next tier of Maslow’s chain of needs are safety, the need to feel safe and secure. This concludes the first tier of Maslow’s hierarchy as basic needs. The second tier that Maslow are called psychological needs and include belonging and the need to feel love. The next level is esteem need and the need to feel accomplishment. The last and final tier is his self-fulfillment category which contains self-actualization and feeling of being the best a person can be. I agree with Maslow’s hierarchy and that the most of common needs should be the basis of everything else. Without the common needs one could not achieve the main goal in life. Once the basic need in life have been covered you could go after that second tier and find love and belonging and having the basic needs to fall back on just in case. Now you have your basic need and psychological needs you could strive for the top tier and being what you are meant to be. Maslow’s hierarchy relates to motivation for the fact that what is at the core of everyone are the basic needs. Survival is the same way physical and psychological witch can be a great motivator. Say one was at their fullest and top tier knowing how to get the fulfillment out of life and you take one of their basic needs away. You would just see their world fall and they would have a breakdown. I just don’t see anyone having their feeling of completion without the basic food water warmth...

...Paul B. Baltes’s Life-Span Developmental Approach 1. Development is lifelong. Development is a lifelong process of change. Each period of the life span is affected by what happened before and will affect what is to come. Each period has unique characteristics and value. No period is more or less important than any other. 2. Development is multidimensional. It occurs along multiple interacting dimensions—biological, psychological, and social—each of which may develop at varying rates. 3. Development is multidirectional. As people gain in one area, they may lose in another, sometimes at the same time. Children grow mostly in one direction—up—both in size and in abilities. Then the balance gradually shifts. Adolescents typically gain in physical abilities, but their facility in learning a new language typically declines. Some abilities, such as vocabulary, often continue to increase throughout most of adulthood; others, such as the ability to solve unfamiliar problems, may diminish; but some new attributes, such as wisdom, may increase with age. People seek to maximize gains by concentrating on doing things they do well and to minimize losses by learning to manage or compensate for them. 4. Relative influences of biology and culture shift over the life span. The process of development is influenced by both biology and culture, but the balance between these influences changes. Biological abilities, such as sensory acuity and muscular strength and coordination, weaken...

...1. Define the Concept of Basic Trust: What is basic trust? To me basic trust would be the trust you put around the world. When you come to talk about building basic trust when it comes to a young age, well you have to depend on your parents to do the right things for you to build basic trust. As people sit trying to find the meaning behind basic trust, they are usually are stuck with awe. It can mean multiple things. Understanding basic trust might be difficult at times, especially when people really do not look back to see what exactly they started there basic trust with. Basic trust will only deepen over the years. It never will reach a limit; because they’re always will be a higher person above us. We are introduced to Erik Erikson, who was born on 1902 and passed away on 1994. Through Erikson’s 92 years of life he was quiet the scholar. He would write essays that were collected by his wife Joan and later published in chapters in a book entitled, Childhood and Society (1950). One of his most famous concepts from the essay was “The Eight Stages of Man”. Which illustrate eight ascending steps on a moving staircase that starts at infancy and goes up to older adulthood. Where the author Jon Snodgrass interacts with their readers is that, Snodgrass gives his own formula to understand “The Eight Stages of Man”. Snodgrass’s formula was LSDT = A & S + PT + CP, which stands for “Life Span Development Theory”, A&S stands for “Age and Stages”, PT is “Psychological Task”, and...

... The primary word I-Thou can only be spoken with the whole being. The primary word I-It can never be spoken with the whole being. * There is no I taken in itself, but only the I of the primary word I-Thou and the I of the primary word I-It. When a man says I he refers to one or other of these. The I to which he refers is present when he says I. Further, when he says Thou or It, the I of one of the two primary words is present. The existence of I and the speaking of I are one and the same thing. When a primary word is spoken the speaker enters the word and takes his stand in it. * The life of human beings is not passed in the sphere of transitive verbs alone. It does not exist in virtue of activities alone which have some thing for their object. I perceive something. I am sensible of something. I imagine something. I will something. I feel something. I think something. The life of human beings does not consist of all this and the like...

...75% of non-profit organizations supply the basic necessities to the less fortunate. Sadly, there are more people that are in need due to war, overpopulation, and natural disasters. Most importantly, they lose their basic necessities in life. Luckily, there are individuals in this world that impact society by providing medical treatment, which helps save lives. Basic necessities, which improve human life, and Education, which empowers human life. To begin with, an individual that provides medical treatment helps save the lives of humans. Clara Barton, the creator of the American Red Cross, helped soldiers survive the Civil War. When the Civil War began, Clara was still living in Washington in 1861, but during the war she bravely provided nursing for the wounded soldiers, and was awarded the title: Angel of the Battlefield (Red Cross, Clara Barton). During war, getting injured on the battlefield was almost inevitable. Clara Barton was able to provide medical treatment for the wounded soldiers. Clara Barton not only just helped soldiers, she also put her own life on the line to help others on the front lines. After the Civil War, Clara founded the American Red Cross, which has been running flawlessly for 150 years....

...determining a person's quality of life? From my opinion there are two of a person’s quality of life: the physical quality and psychological quality. And I believe the physical quality always comes before the psychological quality. While some people contend that many other important factors outweigh money in determining the quality of life, I insist that money is the most important factor because it fulfills our basic/physical needs. With money, one may not be happy. But without money, one will not be happy for sure because of the lack of basic needs. The psychological quality of life is largely built on the foundation of the physical quality of life, which is achieved by money. My opinion largely comes from my approval of Maslow’s theory of the hierarchy of needs, which describes different stages of growth in human. His theory is often portrayed in the shape of the pyramid with the largest, most fundamental levels of needs at the bottom and the need for self-actualization at the top. The pyramid places physiological needs at the bottom, followed by Safety, Love/belonging, Esteem and Self-actualization. Needless to say, the ultimate function of money is to fulfill the basic and physical needs for humans. And Maslow’s theory suggests that the most basic level of needs must be met before the individual will strongly desire higher level needs. Using an analogy to illustrate my point: Money is like the foundation and the quality of life is like the main building while other...

...Living life as we are meant to Life is much simpler that we make it. Life is easier than we are living it. All we need is our basic instincts to live a simple and happy life. Annie Dillard is saying in "Living Like Weasels" that things are easier when your choices are made with instinct and carried through rather than analyzed. We all know that life through an innocent, and simple mind is a wonderful thing. That might be why we remember childhood as an easier time. We grow up and things get complicated and we loose that innocence or mindlessness. “The weasel lives in necessity and we live in choice, hating necessity and dying at the last ignobly in its talons.” (Dillard 100) Choice is something that we make day in and day out. I believe that Dillard is saying that the mindlessness of a weasel is simple to the core and it only making choices based on pure instinct rather than vanity or personal motive. It is a simple mind of a wild animal that uses necessity to make its choices. “People take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience-even of silence-by choice.” (Dillard 101) We choose to ignore our basic natural instincts for personal gain that we hoard for our future needs, but we don’t ever have the time to enjoy all that we have acquired. So why do we move so fast to gain as much as possible to overlook that we don’t have the time to enjoy it. Dillard is arguing that life is moving by to fast and so much is happening right before our eyes. We are so busy with our day-to-day...

...1. Why do we speak of ‘basic” rather than “primitive” religions? We speak of basic religion because basic religion came from prehistory or are practiced in remote places. And elements of the basic religions are found to some degree in all religions. Basic religions represent the majority of the total religious experience of humankind. While primitive religion carries with it connotations of being backward, simple, even childlike. Christian or Muslim or Jew may tend to look down on these religions as being superstitious, uncivilized, or even savage. The term is misleading in suggesting that the religions of those peoples are somehow less complex than the religions of "advanced" societies. 2. What are the two primary sources of information about basic religions? How trustworthy are these sources? The first is contemporary basic religions and the second source of information is archaeology. It is more difficult to use contem- porary data to speculate about the origins and earliest forms of religion. All contemporary societies, even the most technologically simple, have long and complex histories. While on the other hand Archaeologists main sources of information are likely burial sites, weapons, and tools. Archaeological results depend on the interpretations of the investigator. Therefore information we can’t say archaeological sources are trustworthy; we can only give credit to their investigation. 3. What do we believe was the purpose of the Cro-Magnon cave paintings...
