...the ability of a person to fully sustain their uniqueness and independence in their full extent whilst being in love. By entering into a relationship, both parties will do so for personal gain and pleasure, but simultaneously the union of two people results. Romantic love causes the limitation of one’s individuality in important decisions that pertain to both of them, yet, regular decisions that don’t affect them simultaneously can still able to be made individually. While choices throughout life are constantly influenced by a person’s surroundings, the person with whom you are in love will ultimately be the one who has the greatest impact on your autonomy. The Greek terminologies to describe love between people include ‘eros’ translated as sexual, passionate or romantic love and ‘philia’ translated as the love within friendship between others (Halwani, 2010). Since romantic love is an emotion, it is difficult to define as the reason for love because it constantly changes; both circumstances as well as reasons for attractions differ (Halwani, 2010). W. Newton-Smith, therefore explains that a sexual dimension is a generally necessary feature of romantic love, as this appears to be constant. In addition, a necessary feature of romantic love, as well as any love, is the concern over the contentment and welfare of the beloved. Other features Halwani includes are love between two people that is reciprocated, strong emotions and desires between lovers, resulting in marriage and procreation...

These co-founders are Mr. Herb Kelleher and Rollins King. The originally started to serve three cities in Texas, it was a triangle route from Dallas to San Antonio, and Houston. Wiley found (2012) “Southwest interest in its passengers was reflected when competing airlines started to charge customers for their checked baggage. Southwest refused to charge for the first two bags a passenger checks in. The airline started running commercials based on the theme “We Love Bags” to reflect this stand.” According to Wiley (2012), Southwest is differ from other carriers are the competitive costs. “Southwest Airlines ensures their cost advantage by keeping unit costs 50 percent less.” The corporate culture, the company looks after its people.

...Vanessa Zsorey Dr. McCort College Comp 11 December 2015 Sonic Highways A band lasting as long as twenty years in the music industry with their original sound not suffering is a rarity. The Foo Fighters, led by the legendary Dave Grohl, are magnificent rockers who throughout two decades, continue to stay relevant in many ways. Throughout these twenty years they have released nine albums, each of which contained some of the biggest alternative rock hits of all time. Though they may not be riding the radio waves constantly or may only appeal to a shrinking audience, their craft has never once suffered. Their newest album, Sonic Highways, is pure proof that the Foo Fighters continuously try to push themselves out of their comfort zones in order to remain interesting to their fans. Sonic Highways was the most recent project the Foo Fighters have put out and the most creative of the past eight albums. The process to create this album was far more in depth and unique compared to the traditional methods. Typically, when a band decides they want to record, they find the closest studio that is in their price range and is the best quality necessary to fit the project. Mixing the recordings has gotten incredibly easy in recent times, where all that is really necessary is the ProTools program. With Protools, any errors can easily be cleaned and corrected, then moved on to the master CD and sent off to be pressed. A decade ago, recording and mixing were not nearly as simple or cheap...

...Getting Employees To Fall In Love With Your Company Just imagine that your employees choose to give their incentive bonus back to the company to help pay down the corporate debt, or show up at 6 a.m. Sunday morning for a nonmandatory quarterly meeting. Even more than that, how awed you are to see off-duty salaried employees wash and clean the company’s facilities. Getting Employees To Fall In Love With Your Company written by Jim Harris is definitely a book that helps you to turn your company into the type of place which will attract and retain all the brightest and hardest-working employees. Hence, the company can truly turn the levels of employee commitment and productivity into its distinct competitive advantage. I definitely agree as Jim Harris tells the reader at the beginning that this book is not a “cookbook”, rather it is a “lighthouse” with five powerful principles pointing direction for the managers to create the “employers of choice” companies of every employee in the market. Through balancing their business plans with an equally powerful strategic people plans, companies can keep the dream career alive in the extreme environment.

For instance, the “sick and tired award” carried out by the CEO of North American Tool, it not only lets the employees enjoy the monetary...

...11/10/12 Ashley Golladay Case #17.2 At Southwest Airlines, “We Love Your Bags” 1. Describe the various promotion elements that Southwest Airlines uses in its integrated marketing communications. * To start with one of their largest marketing communications is through television ads. Each of their ads consistently conveys the same message, that they provide low cost air fare and great customer service. These ads also provide comedic value when their competitors tend to be up-tight and too business like. Another integrated communication is through their use of technology, the “Ding” software backs this same message up by playing on the sound the plane makes when it’s time to exit the aircraft, letting the customer know another great low-fare deal is available. All of their communications say they like to have fun. This is their culture that is the heart of their company. I think because of that culture and customer service, every time I get on a flight and their flight attendant or pilot has fun with the instructions or weather announcements, those employees are sending the same marketing message as well, we have fun, we love what we do and we do a great job. All of these marketing efforts integrate seamlessly and it shows in their fiercely loyal customers and their even better low prices (506)! 2. How does the engaging and entertaining performance of Southwest flight crews contribute to promotion activities? * First of all, I swear I did not read this question...

...Unquestionably, this article in the New York Times called How Grounded Is Your Love Life? by Gretchen Reynolds was an interesting read that had research to make the readers understand her point of view on how to determine if your relationship is grounded. Additionally, the author made it fairly easy to read even though it had some concepts such as embodied cognition which was defined after the word was used in a sentence. Besides that, this article relates to the behavioral, cognitive, biopsychology and social of psychology, which influences thoughts, feelings, and behaviors when contemplating how stable is our relationship. However, there is certain parts of this article I agree/disagree with. For instance, the author cites Amanda Forest who...

...Southwest Airlines prides itself in being a company with “heart”. We know this because it is something its employees as well as customers have said about Southwest Airlines. Southwest Airlines began flying in 1971 and they keep going strong. Southwest seems to understand that doing what other airlines are doing simply because it can benefit their profit margin. Standing out from the crowd is what has allowed Southwest Airlines to be known as a company with heart. I have to say that I have flown Southwest Airlines as well as several other airlines. Knowing that the price I see is the final price since I don’t have to pay for my bags is a relief. In a time where people are trying to save money to afford a family vacation, every little bit helps and makes it that much easier to relax during that vacation. Although it may make Southwest Airlines more money to charge for bags, they will also lose their advantage over the other airlines. Southwest Airlines likes creating a fun work environment. This is something I have seen other companies try to do for their employees. I work for Verizon Wireless and there are several activities they do to make it fun to show up for work. Although this may not ensure everyone will thrive in this type of work environment, when dealing in customer service, every little bit helps. Before going this route, I dreaded waking up in the morning to go to work and deal with people who would be screaming at me on the phone. I’m not saying they don’t scream...

...own in the future. I would like to ask the young people reading this: Do you ever wonder what you will do to earn a living, what your career will consist of? Do you ever wonder how successful you are going to be, or what things you will be able to accomplish? Do you ever wonder if you will be able to enjoy the “good life” and afford the nicer than average things? Do you wonder if you will wind up having a job that you enjoy, or one that you must do out of necessity? Will you be able to support yourself and a family and own a nice home and automobile—all of those things we think of as the “American Dream”? Probably most young people have these thoughts and questions from time to time. You may not worry about such things at this time in your life, but you do think about them. We are all aware of the economic downturn in the United States, as our nation faces many problems at this time. Unemployment problems are continually in the news with many major corporations laying off employees as part of necessary cutbacks. Some of these may already be affecting your family. Many of you harbor legitimate concerns and are uncertain about your future. Even with conditions that now occur in our economy, a way exists for you to be successful and to land a good job in this country. This key concept or way for you to be successful starts right now no matter your age or grade in school. It can be described in a word: diligence. Diligence means “steady, earnest, energetic application and effort...

...An Analysis of “Southwest Airlines: We Love Your Bags” I visited the Southwest Airlines website and clicked on the “Our Culture “ tab. On this page, Southwest has culture defined as such: Cul’ture: the development, improvement, and refinement of the originality, individuality, identity, and personality of a given people (“Culture”, 2012). Southwest Airlines has stood out from the rest of the airlines even before I ever read a case study on the company and its business model. Although I have never flown on a Southwest Airline airplane, the difference can be seen just by walking through an airport that they service. The people look more relaxed, happier, and dedicated to their jobs. The company has capitalized by tailoring their culture to fit their customers and their employees versus tailoring their culture to adapt to the market/environment of the airline business. While they may not be the fanciest company in the airport, the friendly service is seen wherever you see their logo. It is an airline designed for the individuals looking for great value and dependability. When you look at the mission statement for Southwest, it is evident that they are committed to its employees. In a Knowledge@Wharton article, Colleen Barrett was quoted as saying ”Our mission statement is posted every three feet, all over every location that we have, so if you are a customer, you’ve seen it”(Knowledge@Wharton, nd, para. 3). The mission statement states, “Above all, Employees will...

...Joe Polce English 015 Mrs. Wickman How To Roll Your Own Cigarette Is anyone in your life a cigarette smoker? Do you often notice that they are always complaining about their ever-rising price? According to the U.S Census Bureau, out of the 6.7 billion people in the world, 2 billion are smokers of cigarettes or some other form of tobacco. Almost 75% of these 2 billion spend between $1000 - $1500 yearly on their favorite packs and cartons that they just cannot resist. We know its a habit, right? Its also an expensive habit. I am going to show you a quick and easy way to not only cut the cost of cigarettes in half, but also save you hundred of dollars. A select few smokers of the modern world have been fortunate enough to find the solution to the climbing prices of cigarettes. This solution is actually very simple. Why don’t we, instead of spending the $6 plus on an already produced pack of Marlboro Lights, make and produce our own pack of very similar cigarettes? Herein lies the solution; roll your own cigarettes. Most people shy away from such an idea claiming that they would never know where to start, or have no idea where they would buy the equipment, but on contrary the first steps to this new lifestyle are very easy, and the tools needed are readily available. The benefits of rolling your own cigarettes are numerous. First off, its inexpensive.

Furthermore, Stolpestad seems to be genuine depressed as he says to himself “this is your life, Stolpestad” which shows that Stolpestad’s not where he wants to be in life as he has to end the sentence white “Stolpestad” as if he was not listening to himself. “As if you have seen or imagined or been through all of this before, or will be through it all again” The fact that Stolpestad feels like he has experienced things that he haven’t even tried yet, shows how much he has given up on life. Stolpestad’s sad view on life probably is a mix of his life going in circles, and the fact that he is constantly experiencing unpleasant things that just repeats and repeats itself throughout his life: “Your whole life spent along the same sad streets (..) as you pull around the house, as if you’ve seen or imagined or been through all of this before, or will be through it all again, over and over”.

...music learned how to play several instruments by the inspiration of others. Mayer loved music, especially blues as can be heard from all his songs in which they all share a melancholic tune. As a young man in high school one of his first gigs was at a local blues bar with a band he had been currently been a part of. Although he only played guitar at the time Mayer was still songwriting. He learned how to write after being hospitalized at the age of 17 with a mental issue even though his illness was destroying his body his creativity kept flowing allowing him to find his newfound passion, songwriting. All these action leading to his first debut of his album in 2001 “Room for Squares” in which he would receive Grammy nominations for the song “Your body is a wonderland” and the public eye would be drawn towards Mayer. After this Mayer would release many albums and singles that would lead to the fame he has today. In my opinion, John Mayer’s music is one of a kind and truly beautiful all holding a deep message leaving for the listener to interpret in however which way they feel. Furthermore, out of all of Mayer’s accomplishments “Waiting on the world to change” from the album “Continuum” is one of his best works. This song has a slow tempo like most of his songs on the “Continuum” album. Also, in this song the beats are...
