...* Liberty and Justice for All GEN/195 August 28, 2012 * I seem to use my reasoning skills (rationality) to determine what processes and systems should be put into place to assure fairness and justice for all the community (equality). Using reasoning skills and justice thoroughly explains why my personal preferred lens is the relationship lens. I seek to have relationships with others, especially the underprivileged. Great relationships are built while helping others who sometimes do not have the ability or resources to help themselves. * * My blind spot is overconfidence in a process. There is truth in this because I do overly trust in the “process”; the process of fairness. I do not like seeing or hearing of anyone being treated unfairly and it bothers me to find out that not everyone has what I consider to be valuable morals. Also, to find out that someone less fortunate or inadequate according to America’s standards (i.e.-financially, physically, or a minority) isn’t being treated fairly literally makes me angry on the inside. This ultimately causes me to fight harder for the process’s sake-fairness and equality for all; especially the underprivileged. * * It is comforting to know that my strength is justice. Seeking justice in the overall community is very important to me because it ensures that if everyone is all right in the community, they too will be more willing to reach out a helping hand as well. When the question is asked, “Am...

...The American Capitalist System: All for One or One for All? The American capitalist system goes to show that you can be successful, if you’re wise enough to manipulate the system. Once this condition exists, the freedom to choose a profession and the freedom to determine socio-economic class exist. Workers’ wages are too low to support the average middle class family, the minimum wage being approximately 7 dollars and change in New Jersey. In addition, corporations ultimately force workers to veer towards giving more money in order to supply for public assistance programs, like Medicaid and food stamps, thereby increasing personal profit since the company is then dependent on the public and outside resources. Also, with intense costs of living, any freedom to determine socio-economic class is slowly brought down. Although capitalism paves the path for a freedom to choose the way in which money is earned, the money-sucking policies associated with it prove to hurt the majority of Americans in today’s society. On paper, the American capitalist system does allow for an independently chosen career, however, is this system as ideal as it seems? Although the freedom to choose one’s method of income exists, many people in the middle class are still limited to few options when it comes to jobs. These limitations may be due to lack of a college degree, or it may be a result of a lack of job availability. On the educational side of job searching, it is a fact that the higher paying jobs...

...Criteria to Choose a Major Moon Nguyen ESLI at WTAMU Criteria to Choose a Major Moon Nguyen ESLI at WTAMU Criteria to Consider a Major According to theatlantic.com, 53% of students are unemployed after graduating. Therefore, it is important to carefully decide when choosing a major in order to have a good job after graduating. There are three main guidelines for students when considering their major in a college or university: their interests, their abilities or strong points, and social demand for the job field that their major qualifies them for. First of all, deciding a major should depend on students’ interests. Undoubtedly, finding subjects interesting to learn promotes students to spend time studying to know about them. Otherwise, all the obstacles such as boredom and tiredness that they may have when studying a major that they don’t like will discourage them. It can even make them change their mind to pursue one another major which leads to a waste of time and money. In addition, students should also understand their abilities, and strong points to make a better decision about their major. The fact is that, doing something that they are not good at may lead to some serious problems. For example, they may have to try much harder than the others to get the same good results, and they may get depressed when they can’t do well. On the contrary, when they study a major that is their strong point, it should not be too hard to perform well, which will put them at ease. Hence...

...meet the individual wants and needs of these cultural groups. Multicultural marketing prevents the possibility of “damned brands” and boycotts, while strengthening the relationship with consumers, and providing growth for a company. Social responsibility is a major factor that marketers need to consider when developing a promotional campaign for a new product. As said in the Journal of Consumer Marketing, “Products considered to be legitimate when targeting one group, may not be perceived as being socially responsible when targeting other sensitive groups” (Macchiette & Roy, 1995). For example, animal fur is considered a sign of wealth in some cultures, but will result in a negative opinion from other consumers such as animal activists. Marketers who do not consider all cultures and beliefs when developing a promotion will provoke boycotting of products and ethnical controversy among consumers, which in turn will result in a negative public image for the brand. Attaining appropriate research and understanding all diverse ethnic groups prior to promotion will protect a brand’s equity and alleviate the possibility of becoming a boycotted or “damned brand” (Macchiette & Roy, 1995). Marketers who have extensive knowledge of the multicultural society will also build better relationships with consumers. “Knowing more about your customers and how to communicate with them in...

Due date: 6 November 2013 Leadership & People: Tutor: XXX Prepared by: Stephanie Gartrell Student ID: XXX Due date: 6 November 2013 Leadership & People: Tutor: XXX Prepared by: Stephanie Gartrell Student ID: XXX Executive Summary Designing and implementing a compensation package that rewards all staff according to performance, and succeeds in appealing to their individual motivations is an enormous challenge for any organisation. Some find it easier to simply pay a percentage increase to all staff, irrespective of their performance. A literature review was undertaken to determine both the current and historical views of performance management. A vast amount of material has been written in journal articles and textbooks. All point to the complexity of the issue and the apparent inability to find a solution that will suit all. For the last 100 years, HR specialists, psychologists and economists have been collaborating to try and develop a system which would have broad appeal for both staff and employers. Many theorists contributed to the discussions, asserting that individual motivations for pay were based on the theory of agency, goal, control, expectancy, or reinforcement. Performance management systems are necessary to enable companies to enable them to attract, retain and...

...In the poem “One dignity delays for all” by Emily Dickinson symbolism is utilized to represent death and the idea of equality. Death alludes to the inevitability of the end of life regardless of one’s status. While the hierarchy of power in the living world is represented by the status of humans, death is the most powerful entity in the universe because it is a gateway between the living and the afterlife. Dickinson implies symbolism in order to create a connection between death and power. The connection the living have with death and power is represented in the idea that death is inevitable, giving all living things equality in the face of death. Dickinson implies symbolism by connecting power to the living and death. In the line “One dignity...

...flows and ash/tephra cloud as these are unpredictable in their spread apart from when previous eruptions indicate where a pyroclastic flow may be directed. To deal with these types of immediate hazards, there must be quick response to areas affected to try and help those affected. In an ideal world, there could be a ‘one size fits all’ approach to post-eruption impacts but this is not possible as LEDCs on the whole do not have the money or resources to create such a fast reaction service. For example the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991, the locals were notified of the eruption due to the fact there were 2 US military bases in the vicinity. If it were not the case, it is probable that the LEDC government would not have been able to prepare and respond as effectively. All volcanic eruptions are not the same however as is shown on the volcanic explosivity index as different volcanoes display different types of eruption. These vary massively from heavily magmatic to mainly ash and dry tephra. This makes it difficult to produce one plan to deal with all volcanic hazards. No 2 eruptions will be identical even from the same volcano and so creating a one size fits all model for dealing with volcanic hazards produced by...
