...Emigration – to stay or to leave Bulgaria More than a decade has passed since the peak of emigration from Bulgaria following communism's fall, but many of the country's most enterprising and best-educated young are still keen to seek a life abroad. And that is one of the most serious problems Bulgaria faces last few years. 12,1 % of the whole Bulgarian population or 937 341 people live in foreign countries. According to the World Bank this number of emigrants now is much higher, because the last information about the problem dates back to one or two years ago. Motives to migrate can be either incentives attracting people away, known as pull factors, or circumstances encouraging a person to leave, known as push factors, for example: |Push factors |Pull factors |Economic reasons |Higher incomes |Disappointment with Bulgaria |Better availability of employment |Career development |Better medical facilities |Adventure/change and curiosity |Better education facilities |Relatives abroad |Political stability ...

...When I was seven years old, I knew one thing about Iraq: it was the place my daddy was going. Back then, my mother always referred to my dad’s job as “playing Army,” a term that simply implied he was going to be away for quite a bit of time, somewhere very far from us. Though I was young, I distinctly remember choked back sobs and red, tear-rimmed eyes looking down at me when I asked him why he had to leave us, why he couldn’t stay. He turned his head from me, clearing his throat, trying to find the right way to explain why he wouldn’t be able to see me turn eight. Finally, he faced me once more and said, “If Daddy doesn’t leave, you and your brothers and sister won’t be safe from the bad guys. I have to leave to protect you, even if that means...

...overlooks the needs of its employees and focuses only on the needs of the organization, turnover often results. Excessive turnover in an organization is a prime indicator that something is not right in the employee environment. For this reason, I chose to research and address this topic. In the near future I plan working my way through different management positions in the organization I establish myself with and ultimately reach corporate level. When this comes to fruition, I will need to know my employees, how to retain the most productive ones, and how to keep them satisfied. With this in mind, the topics covered in this report will look at the differences between retention and turnover, why employees stay, reasons why they leave, and what can be done to save them. Employees leave organizations for all sorts of reasons. Some find a different job, some go back to school, and some follow a spouse who has been transferred out of town. Others retire, get angry about something and quit on impulse, or never intended to keep working after earning a certain amount of money. Still, others get fired or laid off, or they come into money and decide they no longer need a job. All of these examples represent turnover, but they don’t all have the same organizational implications. To distinguish their implications, we need to define types of turnover. According to David G. Allen, an associate professor of management in...

...war, and poverty. Even though it is clear that there is starvation and poverty in the world, many people overlook it, and very few people would “walk away” or try to change it. In Ursula Le Guin’s short story, “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” one child must be kept in filth and misery in order for the people of Omelas’ comfort and beauty to exist. Choosing whether to stay or leave Omelas is up to the reader. Sarah Wyman, journalist from the State University of New York argues that “neither choice, to stay or to leave, is without significant penalties” (230). She argues that if you choose to stay in Omelas, you...

...Scott Reeves – History 122 Final Exam Stop Pulling “a LeBron James” and Stay Home The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa said, “The emigration of African professionals to the West is one of the greatest obstacles to Africa’s development.” Colonialism was a major influence on the development in Africa. Since there were so many setbacks in multiple African countries, such as Belgium in the Congo, France in West Africa, and the British in places all over the continent, it has caused countries to have trouble economically and politically. Whether or not there are greener pastures in foreign lands, the people of Africa are hurting the continent’s growth by leaving, even if they come back years later. The continent needs workers, intellectuals, and professionals to stay at home in order to help Africa develop and become industrialized. Africa has to figure out a plan to avoid pushing their own people away, since there are multiple factors that are pulling them away to distant areas. If Africa was able to have similar incentives as foreign places, fewer people would leave, and that would help Africa develop. People who leave negatively affect their own families, as well as all of the people in their homeland. Difficulty supporting those who are left behind, and the overall idea of staying united as a country, are problems that Africans face. The consequences of “brain drain” threaten to stunt the overall development of the continent. People should not be leaving...

..."Nothing Gold Can Stay" When in the church on Jay Mountain, Ponyboy recites the poem, "Nothing Gold Can Stay" written by Robert Frost. He remembered the poem, but couldn't recall the meaning of it. Johnny finds out the meaning of the poem at the end of the book, and tells everyone in his gang the meaning and how it connects to the greaser gang.

The first line in the poem is “Natures First Green Is Gold” . This means that when the plants start budding, they are very beautiful. Ponys life can be compared to “natures first green is gold”.

...will remain close friends for many years is that Howie and Laura had a chance to leave each other but they decided to stay together. When Howie and Laura were waiting for their parents in the woods Howie thought “He knew that there would be arguments and long distance phone calls, and parents and camp counselors and policemen talking over their heads about things they didn't understand. He would want to to crawl in a hole, and she would cry. It didn't matter, they would think of something.”(183) This quote is from the end of the book, Howie and Laura had a chance to leave each other but they decided to stay together. Howie was thinking of many obstacles that could come between them, including police officers, parents and counselors, but, Howie knew that they would figure it out and maintain a long distance relationship. Howie and Laura decided that there friendship was worth fighting for and they decided that nothing would come between them. The fact that they are willing to fight for a long distance relationship shows that they will remain close friends for many years. Of course, it is possible to disagree with the view that Howie and Laura had a chance to leave each other but decided to stay together and instead say Howie and Laura did not have a chance to leave each other because Howie depended on Laura. But the argument that Howie and Laura had a chance to leave each other but decided to stay together is still true because in my evidence Howie was coming up with many obstacles...

...visualize colors and associate it with the words either preceding or proceeding. In the two poems, “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost and “Spring and All” by William Carlos Williams, color imagery plays a big role in describing the scene. “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Browning is a poem about nature and how everything is so beautiful at first, but it then becomes subsides and isn’t as wonderful. “Nature’s first green is gold”, this could refer to the sunrise in the morning (499). This reminds me of all the gorgeous hues of a sunrise and how the sky and everything the sun hits seems golden. It could also be referring to seasonal changes. When spring is around, all the flowers and sunlight look amazing, but when the flowers start turning into leaves and falling off, it is a little upsetting to look at. “So dawn goes down to day”, this gives me the sense that Frost is talking about the early mornings (499). Watching dawn turn into day is disappointing, especially when you get to see all the natural colors coming from dawn and then it just turns into another plain day. The last line “Nothing gold can stay” can refer to many things (499). Frost left this last line to the reader to create an image in his or her own head. This could have the reader picturing that the sunrise can’t last forever. It also allows the reader to think about other things that can’t stay forever. I feel as though frost uses the term gold in this sentence to refer to anything good. This could mean...
