敬爱的党组织:
在2010年3月28日,是我第一次以大学生的身份参加了党校的第一次课程。从2009年10月递交入党申请书那一刻,我便对加入中国共产党充满了期待。经过九次的党课,让我抛弃了过去对党的肤浅认识,重新深入了解中国共产党,我感到受益匪浅。
虽然只是维持短短的一个月党课,我觉得在每次将近两个小时的党课中,我从各位老师和教授身上学习到中国共产党最重要和最精辟的东西。每一次上课,老师们的讲课内容重点突出,联系实际生动形象地为我们这些即将成为入党积极分子的大学生讲解党的点点滴滴。这几次党课,我们跟着教授老师们一次学习了“党的光辉历程与当代大学生的使命”,“党的组织原则和纪律”“党性修养和争取入党”“党员条件和发展党员”“党的义务和权利”“十七届四中全会精神学习辅导报告”“坚定共产主义理想信念”和“党的性质,宗旨和指导思想”。每一个话题,在我看来,在客观方面无不体现着党的发展和党的存在价值;而在主观方面则体现中国共产党的长期存在对于我们每一个人理想的树立和信念的形成等等。因此从长远来说,积极靠拢共产党组织,学习党的历史,当下和未来的发展,对于我们形成正确的人生观,价值观和世界观具有举足轻重的意义。当然,从递交入党申请书那一刻器,我便意识到在一步一步靠近党组织的过程中,我将遇到许许多多思想上前所未有的考验和挑战。加入党组织并不是一天两天的事情便可以顺利完成的,我明白自己需要通过各方面的努力来帮助加入共组织,成为一个名副其实的党员,而不仅仅是一个荣誉称号。中国共产党是严肃的党,在决定成为其中一员之前需要我们下定决心端正自身的思想态度,否则,只会被党组织排斥或者视为异端。
在学习了党课后,我重新纠正了过去许多不足的政治思想,让我不知不觉中对于理想,信念,党性修养,党的建设,入党动机等方面的问题有了一种新的认识和思考。突然意识到,党组织在让我们正式成为党员之前所做的各种准备是十分必要的,我们必须从最基本的地方学习和改正,这有利于我们日后在组织内更好地学习和合作。共产党党,在我一开始看来虽然是自己想要志愿加入的,但是我并没有认识到入党动机在共产党一切事务的运作面前也是一个不可忽视的话题。我承认我是抱着这样的动机的:想到许多用人单位“党员优先”做法,也有公务员招考中共产党员身份的优势。在大学生就业形势严峻的情况下,我最初的的确确是抱着一种党员资本的心态入党的,并没有考虑太多日后身为党员需要履行的种种义务。然而,在上了党课听了关于合格党员的要求时,看到“树立正确入党动机”字眼,我恍然大悟,想不到入党动机也会如此严肃提出。全心全意为人民服务,为了实现共产主义——这是正确的入党动机。可是这对于我那肤浅的想法相差多远,特别地在四月份的青海玉树地震发生后,青海省委迅速组织动员全省各级党组织和党员干部投入抗震救灾工作。为使共产党员成为抗震救灾的生力军和攻坚克难的骨干力量,各地在组建抢险救援队伍时,挑选能力强、业务精、作风硬的党员组建“党员突击队”、“党员先锋队”。 4月19日,银川市组织“向青海玉树地震灾区群众送温暖献爱心”自愿捐助活动,市领导崔波、孙荣山、王儒贵、洪梅香等率先捐款,机关党员积极响应,现场共有665名党员捐款303586.6元。原来,在国家面临重大事件面前,很多时候都需要党员站在最前线的,积极的为人民做出最大的支持。而不是置身之外,只想享受权利或者将“党员”作为一种工作资本。党员,就是要为广大人民服务。哪怕我们不需要通过流血牺牲,也要付诸行动才不愧党员身份。对于现在自己,我立志从以下方面端正入党动机:1.认真学习马克是主义理论,邓小平理论,三个代表重要思想和科学发展观,努力学习各种社会科学知识,关心国家当前发生的各种事情,小到身边,大到国家的各种重大决议等,要时时刻刻关注社会发展;2.实践也是十分重要的,比如积极参与党组织内举行的各种活动,在活动中学习党组织的有关内容,并不断在认识和实践中循环,积累理论知识和经验;3.要不断克服不正确的入党动机,比如将党组织作为谋生的手段等等,不受异端分子灌输危害党组织的影响,用正确的入党动机纠正不正确的入党动机。
入党动机并不是一个阶段性就可以完成的任务,这需要用一生的时间去完善和保持的。说到入党动机,我觉得这和党性的修养也是密切相关的,加强党性修养也是一项需要持之以恒的事情。而加强党性修养则需要长期从以下方面去实践:首先,作为一个大学生,我们必须在大学期间最基本的是学习放在第一位,无论何时何地我们要学习好自己的专业知识,结合专业理论进行实践,除了专业知识的学习,也要学习其他有关的科学文化知识,形成自己的知识体系,不能仅仅局限于专业领域,这样才能逐渐提高自身的素质;然后,加强思想道德的修养,任何时候一个人的道德品质都是最重要的,学习八荣八耻的社会荣辱观,日常生活里需要我们时刻关注有关道德的社会新闻等等,在这个过程中要学会认识“见贤思齐而见不贤而自省”,不做对他任何对社会有危害的事情,时刻警惕自己的一言一行,学会自尊,自爱,自重,不受一辆的社会风气的影响。再是,在与人相处过程中,要积极帮助有学习和生活上有困难的同学,帮助他们纠正有偏差的思想,要做到与老师和同学友好相处。为了能够使得党组织的长期顺利发展,批评和自我批评的实行也是十分重要的。在大学期间,我们要能够虚心接受党组织的培训和指导,虚心接受它对自己提出存在的不足并且及时纠正不足的地方,还要勇于对其他组织中的一员提出缺点帮助他们正确认识自身的问题。
在加强自身各方面发展的同时,关注党的建设也是身为大学生党员应该有的意识。党组织的存在是与党员的义务不可分割的。这就指明了我们要关心共产党的建设,根据提出的方针和规划,进行思考。比如说2008年的汶川地震,七一五事件和今年四月的青海树立地震,这些重大事件的发生都提醒我们要加强党的建设。我认为党的建设最底层要对党员的考察出发。作为大学生党员,无论是否被党组织指明考察都要自觉从自身做起从身边的小事做起,在自然灾害发生的时候,我们可以通过捐款和义卖等途径来为灾区积累微薄的资源。一个人的力量是渺小的,但是我们要相信无数个入党积极分子集合成的大集体。时刻关注重大事件的发展变化而不能漠不关心,然后也要积极鼓励身边的亲人和朋友加入到有关的活动中,借助力量加强党的最低层的建设,调动各行各业的积极性。毕竟在这个和平与发展的时代,已经不需要党员冲在战争的前线凭借体力全力以赴,然而这却需要我们用精神的力量来支撑共产党。而这种精神的贯彻并非是一两天的事情,只要呆在共产党这个组织内部,就需要时时刻刻警惕自己不忘记的必修课程。而在我看来,精神的培养是和相关的学习密切相关的。通过上党课我了解到现在,存在许多党员对理论知识的学习特别缺乏,没有深入学习“三个代表”,邓小平理论等思想,只是走形式路线,或者对于中国特色社会主义的建设持怀疑的态度……这显然不利于党内精神的长期发展,因此为了加强党的建设,坚持建立马克思主义学习型党组织的建设是不能忽视的。
正如早在1938年10月党的六届六中全会上,毛泽东在他向全会作的政治报告中,专门讲了关于“学习”的问题,向全党发出了这样一个号召:“普遍地深入地研究马克思列宁主义的理论的任务,对于我们,是一个亟待解决并须着重地致力才能解决的大问题。”[①]毛泽东在1938年六届六中全会向全党发出的学习马克思主义的动员和号召。他是这样说的:“我希望从我们这次中央全会之后,来一个全党的学习竞赛,看谁真正地学到了一点东西,看谁学的更多一点,更好一点。在担负主要领导责任的观点上说,如果我们党有一百个至二百个系统地而不是零碎地、实际地而不是空洞地学会了马克思列宁主义的同志,就会大大地提高我们党的战斗力量,并加速我们战胜日本帝国主义的工作。[2]我们知道,.“三个代表”的科学内涵中包括始终代表中国先进文化的前进方向,就是党的理论、路线、纲领、方针、政策和各项工作,必须努力体现发展面向现代化、面向世界、面向未来的,民族的科学的大众的社会主义文化的要求,促进全民族思想道德素质和科学文化素质的不断提高,为我国经济发展和社会进步提供精神动力和智力支持。所以,不管在何时何地,党组织内的每一个成员应该记得认清形势,根据时代特点提高自己的文化水平,要明白学海无涯的道理。否则,只会落后于时代的科学文化发展,精神文明水平停滞不前。
我庆幸自己参加了党组织的党课活动,自从上了党课,我看到了共产党在人民群众所占有的重要地位和成为党员的条件,及时了解到自己存在的理论学习和实践的不足。我将在以后的日子里督促自己加强相关方面的学习,关注党组织的发展,积极跟上步伐,绝不辜负党组织的教育。因为,我期待成为一个正式的党员,贯彻“三个代表”重要思想,实现为他人服务的目标,这将是我的光荣。

党校结业总结2
为期一个多月的党校培训,即将接近尾声。一个月的时间,说长不长,说短也不算短。然而党校学习的每一节课仍然历历在目,各位老师对党章党史的精辟解析;一个个先进党员的感人事迹发人奋进;每一位学员的面对面的交流,真实而又激昂。不敢说自己对党的认识有多深刻,但确实是提高了一个层次。本以为党校的学习会是很无聊的,但是参加了这次党校培训之后,我明白了一个道理——理论不等于无聊。作为当代大学生我们生活在一个日新月异的世界中,有时候我们确实应该经常静下心来思考一些问题。关于信仰,关于未来,关于我们的祖国和未来,还有关于这个世界的变化。关于这一些,这次党校培训确实给我上了很好的一课。
党校的第一次讲座是李正太老师的“教师的智慧”,很遗憾我因为参加考试而没有参加这次讲座。第二次党课是王荣德老师的“学习新党章,提高党的理论修养”。因为一直以来都很欣赏物理和数学那种精简的美,说实话刚开始我会认为这种讲座是很无聊的,理论的东西一大片。但是后来我认识到,做为一名理科出身的大学生我们对党和党章的认识是在是不足。我们一自己是理科生为由,为自己对理论知识的缺乏找借口。在这一点上我们还不是一名合格的入党积极分子。一次我本认为最无聊的讲座,让我认识到了自己最大的不足。
之后杨洁老师和浙江大学郑强教授的讲座中都重点讲到了“信仰”。我很与感触,这也让我想到了鲁道夫·沙泽曼的那句“我们不能自由的选择历史,但我们可以从历史中自由的选择学习的榜样。太多的人向威胁和利诱屈服了,太少人有坚贞不屈的勇气。只有信仰才能给人这样的勇气。”我们每个人的人生都需要信仰的支撑,作为人的存在个体,失去了信仰和随之而来的目标与责任,即使外在包裹得再美丽、精致,也只不过是具失去灵魂的空壳,行尸走肉般游荡在繁华的世间。作为今天的大学生,我们不再是“天之骄子”,我们要面对的东西很多,落在我们肩膀上的责任也很大。今天我们心中要有坚定的信仰,明天我们才能走向辉煌。信仰可以指引人生的奋斗目标,提供人生的前进动力,提高人生的精神境界。在5月份这个短短的一个月时间内,我听说浙江师范大学有三位同学,选择轻生永远的离开了家人和同学老师。我感到很痛心,为他们的选择感到遗憾和不值。郑强教授说的对,我们这一代人经历的太少了。很庆幸,作为一名大二的学生,处在人生最辉煌时期的起点上,有一份传承不息的力量,有一股凝聚着人全部生命与激情的伟大精神,在指引着我,向着人生的意义前进。
党校的一次实践活动让我们见证了江南文化的精彩和湖州深厚的文化积淀。我们学到了很多教材上不可能学到的知识。在湖州博物馆中通过文物与历史的对话,让我们穿过时空的阻隔,俯瞰历史的风风雨雨。从小里说,这是源远流长的地方历史的重要见证;从大里说,这是维系中华民族团结统一的精神纽带。 两位老师都用了同一种方式-------回顾历史,来让我们认识中国共产党。在现在这个言论如此自由,通讯如此发达,互联网发展的如此迅速的时代。我们无法拒绝地听到或看到那些挑衅党和污蔑党的言论。但无论如何,作为一名大学生我们要有辨别是非的能力。我们要用自己的智慧和理性去拒绝那些非理性的言论。不能因为党内的个别腐败现在,而去否定整个党。作为一名入党积极分子,我们不光要信任党,而且要有正确的入党动机。对于要求入党的同学来说,端正入党动机是非常重要的。因为只有树立正确的入党动机,才能真正成为一名合格的共产党员,组织上入党并不代表真正的入党,只有在思想上入党,才能成为一个真正为人民谋利益的合格的共产党员。确的动机是正确行动的精神力量。只有树立正确的入党动机,才能有持久不衰的动力,才能在日常工作和生活的各个方面,更加严格地要求自己,努力摆正党和人民的利益同个人利益的关系,逐步培养和树立起甘愿“吃亏”、不怕“吃苦”、为人民无私奉献的人生观。刚递交入党申请书那会,我们对党的认识不可能是很深刻的,我们的入党动机也许并不能经的起考验。但是在一次次的培训之后,我们应该对党的认识会越来越深刻,我们的入党动机也应该是变得越来越纯正。我们应该经得起考验。杨老师认为,不正确的入党动机形成的原因有两方面。一、个人因素和教育因素的影响。二、社会环境因素。(包括国际形势的影响,国内环境的影响,互联网的影响以及大学校园环境的影响)。其实从另一个方面说,我认为我们也可以在这些影响中寻找证面的因素,树立正确的入党动机。 郑强教授一再强调,我们这代大学生应该要有民族责任感,我们要铭记历史。当国家到炮弹,战争的时候,站出来的人是在深山里的二炮兵。不是开着奔驰,宝马的百万富翁们。我们要知道我们的国家要强,西部一定要富起来,我们要知道我们不紧紧有钱,我们要有的是,精神,知识,爱国。爱自己的专业,要的是我们对历史了解,文化的渗透。
党校的学习只有一个月的时间,一个月的时间很有限,我们不可能在一个月的学习中大彻大悟。党校只是把我们领进了大门,剩下的还要我们自己去完成。党校的课程结束的,当我们对党的知识的学习和对自身能力的提高应该永不止步。

今天我们全班同学来到了那以前只在书上见过,听老师说过的革命圣地——辛亥革命博物馆。辛亥革命结束了在中国绵延两千年的封建帝制,为中国的进步打开了闸门,我们怀着万分激动的心情亲身亲身感受了那革命的气息,去与历史真正的“零”距离接触。
还未走进博物馆,就可以看到由红色砖砌的鄂军都督府,它庄严宏伟的气势立刻吸引了每个人的目光,在解说员的陪同下,我们先后参观了传达员室,外交部,都督会客与会议室,黎元洪起居室等十余间古色古香的房屋,然后就去参观辛亥革命的壁画,在墙壁四周都陈列有关辛亥革命的画,同学们在仔细看着,想象着,解说员了也就一旁不停地叙说着,不仅如此,我们还见到了先烈们的部分遗物与手迹,还有战斗时的血衣,大炮,刀等战斗工具。最后,在孙中山的题词“世界潮流,浩浩荡荡。顺之者则昌,逆之则亡”。结束了参观,每个人都依依不舍的离开了,而博物馆的一切却永驻每个人心中。
历史,那是属于过去的东西,当然我们不能忘记,要以此来激励我们担当起建设祖国的重任,但未来与现在相比之下却更加重要。未来,是属于当代大学生的,未来的历史的乐章由我们去谱写,如何才能写好呢?那就是我们现在应努力在校学习科学文化知识,提高自身能力,增强素质,适应社会需求,做社会需求的合格人才,去报效祖国,投身社会。
未来是美好的,是更加辉煌灿烂的。为了自己、祖国的明天,我们要从现在起,从此时起把握机遇,创造辉煌,明天一定是我们的!

Our first equation will be written as 50x+20y+230≤ 1500. First to find our x intercept, we will let y=0. Our equation will be written as 50x+200+230=1500. Next we want to solve for x, by deducting 230 from 1500 and dividing 50 from both side to get x=1270/50. Our x intercept will be 25.4. To get our y intercept, we will let x=0. Our equation will be written as 500+20y+230=1500. Now we want to solve for y by deducting 230 from 1500 and dividing 20 from both side to get y=1270/20. Our y intercept will be 63.5. Overall our intercepts for the first equation will be (25.4, 0) (0, 63.5) For our next equation, we will be using the same concept to find the x and y intercepts. Our second equation will be written as 30x + 20y ≤ 500. To solve for x, we will let y=0, to get 30x+20(0) =500. Next divide by side by 30 to get x=500/30. Our x intercept will be 16.66 rounded off to get 16.7. To get our y intercept, we will let x=0 to get 30(0) +20y=500. Divide both side by 20 to get y=500/20. Our y intercept will be 25. Overall our second equation intercepts are (16.7, 0) (0, 25). Since both of our equations contains a greater than and equal to symbol, our line will be solid.

McNair Grand Canyon University: EDA-574 September 28, 2011 Applying Leadership Theories in the School Setting As many of us already know, there are several variables in creating a successful school. A successful organization has one major attribute that sets it apart from unsuccessful organizations dynamic and effective leadership (Hersey, Blanchard, & Johnson, 2008). Leadership is defined as the process of influencing the activities of an individual or a group toward reaching goal achievement in a given situation (Hersey, Blanchard, & Johnson, 2008). For the past three decades, education has been going through a sustained period of reform and restructuring (Razik & Swanson, 2010). With these changes, leadership styles must undergo changes to keep up with the needs of the global society (Razik & Swanson, 2010). Experts do not agree on one leadership style or theory that should be implemented to achieve success. Many have decided that a combination of different theories based on needs will yield the best result. This essay will depict how different leadership theories apply to my school (Forest High School) setting as reflected from the leader’s behavior and actions. Applying Leadership Theories Individuals’ interest in leadership increased during the early part of the twentieth century. Early leadership theories focused on what qualities...

Applying Toc to Services

...Abstract Theory of constraints (TOC) is about thinking in logical, systematic, or structured processes similar to the PDCA learning loop and also about analyzing cause and effect, verifying basic assumptions, exploring alternatives and process improvement. The goal of TOC is to maximize the efficiency of a process selectively at the most critical points (constraints) and thereby maximize profitability. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive descriptive study on applying “Theory of Constraint” principles in improving the effectiveness of the service process that was limiting the entire service system. We have studied based on Schmenner’s classification of service organizations into four quadrants of service process matrix. Clear explanations supplemented by examples for each quadrant define how the theory works, why it works and what issues are resolved and what benefits are accrued. Introduction Operations management of services talks about how to plan, execute and improve service delivery so that more services are delivered faster and reliably with same/similar resources without compromising on quality. Services, in general, can be any of – Public Services, Professional Services, IT Services, Healthcare services, Banking/Insurance etc. Theory of Constraints, as proposed by Eli Goldratt, works well in a Manufacturing setup, but to replicate in a Service model requires adaption more than adoption. It should be accepted that trying to force a service organization...

Applying an Ethical Theory

...APPLYING AN ETHICAL THEROY FINAL PAPER ETHICS AND MORAL REASONING REBECCA WILSON JUNE 2, 2014 Applying an Ethical Theory How should employers treat their employees? While employees should be treated fairly but rarely should they be treated exactly the same, employers should treat employees fairly because when employees feel they are not administered fairly they lose respect for management , it causes buildup of resentment toward fellow coworkers , and when employees are not treated fairly they lose motivation for their work. It is an employer’s responsibility to treat all employees equally. First, Employers should treat employees fairly because when employees feel they are not administered fairly they lose respect for management. One reason this may occur could be that the employee was over looked for a promotion. The employee could have gotten a bad performance review that they don’t agree with. The employee could feel that favoritism is being shown to a coworker. Additionally, it causes buildup of resentment toward fellow coworkers. An employee could be being shown favoritism from a manager and be doing things that they should be getting reprimanded for but are not because of the relationship they have with this particular manager. For example the employee could be taking this manager out for dinner and drinks from time to time and in return the manager is looking out for that employee’s job.
