...It’s A Meat World Why Humans Should Continue to Eat Meat Have you ever driven a long way on the highway or looked around the city you live in and seen all the billboards and advertisements that have something to do with food. Everywhere you look, you see advertisements for meat products whether in the form of fast food burger restaurants or the latest meat product from Tyson. However, you look the other way and you see advertisements promoting vegetarianism and campaigns against animal cruelty and the use of animals for food products. Whether eating meat is ethical or not is one of the most debated topics in the world. Vegetarians are against eating meats and Vegans are against eating any products from animals including eggs and dairy products. They believe that eating meats or animal products is immoral, unethical, and selfish. Campaign groups like PETA fight for the rights of these animals and believe that ultimately all people should stop eating meat. Vegetarians, vegans, and other animal activists believe people should not consume animal products; however, they should reconsider their views because it is a part of our history and traditions, it helps the ecosystem to stay in equilibrium, and animals are harmed in the production of meat alternatives. Although vegetarians, vegans, and other animal activists believe that humans were never meant to eat meat; they should reconsider their views because it is a part of our history and traditions as Americans as well as...

...that all Christians can use on a daily basis. Prayer is defined as communication with God as our source of help just as you can use different instruments to make different sounds. Diverse prayers can yield different results. The Bible tells us in Thessalonians 5:16 “to pray without ceasing,” As we pray it opens up communication with our father God and strengthens our faith. As Christians we must pray to strengthen our relationship with him not because times are hard or that we are in need of something. Dr. R.T Kendall topic on the Various Kinds of Prayer enlightens people on the vast areas of praying. For instance the prayer of agreement can be used with intercessory prayer with great results. It also gives us insight to the power of prayer. Our heavenly Father values us more than anyone and wants to talk to us. With prayer, we all have equal access and we are all on level ground. What's more, prayer gives you the privilege of access to ultimate power. God can make anything happen. He can heal, solve any problem and change your financial situation and open doors. Cause everything that has happened in your life will work together for good. People must understand what prayer is, and why it is so important, and how you can overcome the obstacles that prevent you from doing it. Make prayer the foundation of your life...you can only benefit from spending more time with God. "I cannot imagine a greater motivation to pray than that God enjoys having me in His presence. He enjoys my...

I see my religion that is to be in a faith tradition to participate actively in a whole world of thought and action, of motive and image, of attraction. Catholicism is a multicultural society bound together by a professed faith and a common baptism as well as other sacraments, and an allegiance to Jesus Christ whom we as Catholic’s acknowledge as Lord (Wikipedia, 2006). I have not always followed the tradition or the authority of the Catholic religion I have committed sins that are not good in the Catholic religion eyes or in any religions eyes. I have had children before being married and living with my children father before getting married. I do believe that in the authority of the Lord I have received his forgiveness. The authority to the Catholic have the basic beliefs of The Bible that is inspired, error free, and revealed word of God. Catholics are, the first and foremost, Christians who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Catholicism shares some same beliefs with other Christian practices, but is essential Catholic beliefs to the authority of the Lord (Wikipedia, 2006). In my authority to the Lord I have a strong personal belief of his power...

...Introduction Culture is not static, rather changeable or dynamic, depending on times, people influences etcetera, I would agree with Edward Burnett Tylor that traditions and/or customs are a part of the culture, not necessarily what should be defining the culture (Sir Edward Burnett Tylor, 2004) therefore it would perhaps more correct to look at the countries unique customs. In this essay I shall analyze what is considered to be the Swedish culture as clearer defined under Identifying and Explaining my Roots culture and get more in depth of the differences or even possible similarities of each nation, Sweden and Canada. I shall also try to show as to why internationally Swedes is associated with brand names such as IKEA and VOLVO and why it is that these household names are a part of the Swedish culture Throughout the analyze I shall get insight if there are any Swedish holidays I would like to see implemented in Canada, and/or is there any Canadian holidays I felt that I missed throughout my years in Sweden? Is there any group or maybe a special gathering for Swedish immigrants in Toronto? How has the years in Sweden affected my possibility to adapt in Canada? Am I required to assimilate by means of giving up my Swedish identity and culture in order to fit in? What is the lifestyle of, and how are people from Sweden adapting in Canada? What are the stereotypes Swedish people have of Canadians and vice versa, and is it founded? Is it necessary to assimilate or can one live...

...TWENTY REASONS YOU MUST GIVE THANKS TO GOD BY PASTOR T.O.BANSO Text: Psalm 124:1-8 Giving thanks is a practice that does not come to many people easily because when they look at their lives, they believe there is nothing worth thanking God for. They convince themselves that thanking God may be right for those who God has showered His blessings on but not right for them. Even God knows He is yet to do anything for them so thanking Him will embarrass Him! But this is not correct if considered in-depth. There is no one who does not have a reason to thank God. When we can not think, we cannot not thank! A thoughtful person will be a thankful person. A man grumbling and complaining that he has no shoe will thank God when he sees a man without legs! A lady who thinks she does not have good clothes will thank God when she sees another insane lady naked! Often times, many of us are ungrateful for God’s kindnesses and manifold blessings in our lives. We are so concerned about what is yet to happen that we fail to see what has happened. We remember so constantly answers to prayers that are yet to manifest that we forget answers to prayers we are already enjoying. Oh how ungrateful we often are! We regularly violate God’s instruction concerning giving thanks. “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord...

...whole. This report will attempt to discuss the misconceptions that I had about the religion, analyze my prior understanding against my understanding now that I have spoken to a Jehovah Witness, discuss whether or not I believe that the misconceptions about the Jehovah Witness religion are common, and present one way that I think could minimize misconceptions that people may have about religions that are not their own. Based on my understanding of the Jehovah Witness religion I had about 6 key questions that I wanted to ask. The first question that I posed to my friend Wyendi and her grandmother dealt with their non-celebration of holidays. As a child I know that I always looked forward to family gatherings around Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and the like and I could not imagine the holiday season without some type of celebration or recognition of the purpose for the season ( the adage “Jesus is the Reason for the Season comes to mind). This answer to this question way very important to me because I...

...Management: Theory, Application, and Practice Four Functions of Management There are four functions of management; they include planning, organizing, leading and controlling. These are four functions that are required to successfully run a strong business and its team members. Planning is the logical thinking through goals and making the decision as to what needs to be accomplished in order to reach the organizations’ objectives. Managers use this process to plan for the future, like a blueprint to foresee problems, decide on the actions to evade difficult issues and to beat the competition. (Bateman, Snell, 2007). In my current company planning is, as with the majority of other business big or small, the first step in being successful. It’s hard to know where to start without having a plan in place first. When I look at what my managers have to sit down and plan I sometimes think that I am glad that I only have to help plan the end of the year and not the whole thing! There are just so many decisions that have to be made and they all have to start with a good plan. The best planning I see directly in my current position is planning for the fourth quarter of the year. This is the busiest time of the year for retailers and if we don’t plan accordingly we could possibly fall behind the competition. Some of the things my managers have to plan is what we retailers call “Black Friday” or the day after Thanksgiving. We have to make sure that there are more...

...1 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF EDUCATION FAITH, FREEDOM, AND PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES Session 1 Notes Legally Supported Abington School District v. Schempp Many people think this is the case that the Bible had been thrown out of public schools, but it was really the type of Bible reading that had been thrown out of Schools. There was a PA law that said, “At least ten verses from the Holy Bible shall be read, without comment, at the opening of each public school on each school day. Any child shall be excused from such Bible reading, or attending such Bible reading, upon the written request of his parent or guardian.” Edward Schempp challenged this law saying that the state should not be making Bible reading mandatory. The Supreme Court favored Schempp and declared “this type” of Bible reading in the public schools to be unconstitutional. They did however say, “It certainly may be said that the Bible is worthy of study for its literary and historic qualities.” Florey v. Sioux Falls School District This federal case dealt with Religious Holidays. The Sioux Falls school policy read, “Music, art, literature, and drama having religious themes or basis are permitted as part of the curriculum for school sponsored activities and programs if presented in a prudent and objective manner and as a traditional part of the cultural and religious heritage of the particular holiday.” However, the ACLU sued the school...

...everyone will see an ethical dilemma the same way. Personal ethics are often a culmination of one’s spiritual or religious ideas, goals, and upbringing. According to the American Nurses Association, a code of ethics was developed to guide nurses in how their responsibilities should be carried out to show consistency of quality nursing care and the obligations of the profession. The Code of Ethics for Nurses states “The nurse, in all professional relationships, practices with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth, and uniqueness of every individual, unrestricted by considerations of social or economic status, personal attributes, or the nature of health problems” ("Code of Ethics for Nurses," 2010, p. 1). My personal ethics are definitely a product of my religious beliefs and my upbringing. I was born, raised and still practice Catholicism. According to the Catholic doctrine, the church does not believe in in vitro fertilization since conception happens outside the body. However, even though it was against the church’s teaching, I believe that if someone wants a baby that bad that it is justified. I believed this fact so much that when my husband and I could not have children, we tried in vitro. Having faced my own fertility issues, it is fairly obvious that I am diametrically opposed to abortion. This belief coincides with my religious beliefs as well as my own personal issues. However, this personal ethical view is not in line with the ethics of...

...SABBATHBREAKING Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever. {Jeremiah 17:21-25} (HOLY BIBLE and SPIRIT OF PROPHECY) “Those who are not thoroughly converted to the truth frequently refrain from physical labor upon the Sabbath while their minds are left free to run upon worldly business and their tongues speak out what is in their hearts--cattle, crops, losses, gains, etc. All this is Sabbathbreaking. If the mind is running upon worldly business, the tongue will reveal it, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. {5MR 302.1} God has given men six days wherein to labor, and He requires that their own work be done in the six working days.

...or Eudemonia is realized by “living the good life”. Aristotle believes that you achieve this state of perfect happiness as a result of a reasoned governed life. Virtue theory focuses on what is good for oneself. Aristotle believed that mankind would blossom by exhibiting good virtues however; everything should be done with moderation. Finding the moderate balance of virtue is a skill that can only be accomplished through Phronesis “practical wisdom”. Virtuous acts lie between the deficiency and excessiveness of virtue itself. Virtue is not a characteristic that a man exhibits by following rules and guidelines set before him; virtuous acts are those that are guided by what the individual agent wants for himself! It asks the question “what type of person do I want to be”. Finding the medium in virtuous acts involves applying the skills of communication, awareness, and knowledge, all of which are developed through acknowledging and acting upon moral conditions. One will never master these skills seeing that most will encounter a verity of moral dilemmas ranging from one extreme to the next in their lifetime making it impossible. However every circumstance provides practice which intern lands you one step closer to Eudemonia. Focusing on the agent himself rather than the act...

...Communication is the key to any business's success because without effective communication, there is no structure; this is why communicating with employees is very important. In the Leadership Theory and Practice textbook, one of the strengths of the Leader-Member Exchange Theory states, "LMX theory is noteworthy because it points out the importance of communication in leadership." This tells us "Communication is the vehicle through which leaders and subordinates create, nurture, and sustain useful exchanges" (Northouse, 2013). Furthermore, in order to reinforce its expectations of the company, management should use simple and direct language when communicating their expectations of the employee. This should be done on a continual basis to ensure that their message is completely understood. When communicating with employees, management should be very clear, concrete, and concise on their expectations. According to the MGMT3 textbook written by Chuck Williams, he states, "There are many types of communication-formal, informal, coaching/counseling and nonverbal- but they all follow the same fundamental process.'' (Williams, 2011) He later implies that "Sometimes messages are poorly communicated simply because they are delivered using the wrong communication medium, which is the method used to deliver a message" (Williams, 2011). In an article titled Communication Provides Foundation for Being a Best Place to Work written by Kathleen Skidmore-Williams she affirms the writings...

...Developing Negotiation Skills in the Classroom: A Case Simulation Maureen Hannay Troy University ABSTRACT Effective negotiation skills are required in all positions and at all levels of modern organizations. Employees in the human resources department utilize these skills on a daily basis when they deal with such items as new hire packages, salary increases, performance issues, labor contracts, and terminations. Research indicates that by using practical, real-life simulated negotiation scenarios, learners can develop more effective negotiating skills. This paper introduces a case where students can be assigned to a management team or a union team to negotiate a mock collective bargaining agreement. Guidance is provided on how to apply the case in the classroom and facilitate the discussion at the conclusion of the exercise. INTRODUCTION Employees in every organization utilize negotiating skills on a daily basis. From negotiating deadlines and workloads to prices of supplies and contracts with unions, negotiations range from the small and mundane to the large and exceptional. A company with effective negotiating capabilities can gain a competitive advantage, reduce costs, increase profits and improve relationships (Masters, Albright & Irr, 2003). When identifying the ten managerial roles that leaders perform to accomplish organizational objectives, Mintzberg (1973) classified the role of “Negotiator” as one of the essential decisional roles that must be executed by managers...
