...that! New Zealand needs to change the flag we need to make it better and bigger! Imagine tourists coming from other countries and them not knowing actually knowing what our flag looks like or thinking that Australia's flag is our flag! If we change the flag we can make it better and bigger so everyone knows our country and the flag that we represents. Firstly, Australia's flag is SO similar to ours and not to mention the numerous amounts of flags that look exactly the same as ours there are precisely 85 flags that look similar and almost the same as ours this isn’t right we need our own unique flag that doesn’t look similar or even the same as other countries! Personally I can't even tell the difference. We need to change the flag so our flag is better than Australians and people like me can tell the difference between them. How embarrassing would it be if a tourist or someone that lives here in New Zealand thinking that Australia's flag is our flag or getting them all mixed up? we need our own unique flag to us and our country is there even anything on our flag that means...

...upbringing a child doesn’t know much, but the mother teaches him. For a child the world is more different than for an adult. The child experiences the behavior of the parents in a far other way, sometimes the child misinterprets events, and sometimes it just simplifies events and doesn’t know the seriousness of the situation. In this short story “A Gift for My Mother”, written by Viv McDade and published in 2011, the main character is a 10 year old little girl, who sees that her parents having some problems, therefore she tries to help them on her own way. The Story is told by a first person narrator, who’s a little 10 year old girl. It is through her point of view the story is told. The girl’s name is Lucy; she goes to school and loves to do her homework with her father. We know what she feels and what she thinks, but we just see and understand everything as she understands and not as the other persons in the story. She thinks that her father is better in teaching then her teacher Mrs. Emmerson. This is also shown in the text; “He’s very good at explaining things and never makes you feel nervous or stupid. My mother thinks his job at the garage isn’t much, but he is a far better teacher then Mrs. Emmerson.” (Page 1 line 24-26). As it is shown in this quote, Lucy is aware, that her parents have problems since Lucy knows what her mother thinks of the job her father is doing. It is obvious for the reader that Lucy doesn’t understand her parents, in that she doesn’t conclude the...

...giving in to limiting beliefs. It’s just as easy to think big as it is to think small; it only takes a small shift in your mindset. Besides, when you think small, you have to compete with everyone else who thinks that way. Think big, and you’ll be in a class of your own. 24: Make yourself wealthy, not someone else Who owns the company you work for? If it’s not you, then you are working to make someone else wealthy. If you’re going to work hard, why not work hard for yourself? 23: Get inspired daily Most people go through life without ever getting their heart pumping. Figure out what makes you tick — what gets you going — and drink from that well daily. 22: Get out of your comfort zone Do something every day that scares you. Better yet, put yourself in the position where you have no choice but to be scared. The higher your tolerance for fear and uncertainty, the more likely you are to be remarkable. 21: Travel The percentage of people who never see the outside world is staggering. If you want to understand how the world works, you need to get outside your bubble. 20: Refuse planned obsolescence Consumer electronics companies make it seem like they worked all fiscal year to come up with these brilliant innovations for the next product release. The truth is that it’s all a ploy to get you to wait in line for a few lousy gigabytes of...

...Asia Foust The Small and the Many Many people may think that the bigger the farming company is, the better they are. However, others think the bigger they are, the more damage they cause to the environment and the economy. There are so many different reasons for both of these opinions, but smaller farms are much more beneficial and practical than bigger, more elaborate, farms. As Bill McKibben says, “We’re moving, if we’re lucky, from the world of few and big to the world of small and many. We’ll either head there purposefully or we’ll be dragged kicking, but we’ve reached one of those moments when tides reverse” (McKibben). Smaller and more abundant farms are helpful because they can create more jobs, can yield more crops than bigger farms, are better for the environment, and they can produce healthier and fresher products to more people. The smaller farms are more abundant compared to the big industrial farms, which means the amount of transportation is less. This means that they do not have to use as much, or any, chemicals on their crops because the products will not be sitting around in boxes for as long as they do when they have to travel further. Bigger farms use chemicals to preserve the longevity of the crop and to terminate anything that would come in the way of the crop growing out its full capability. These chemicals are meant to kill things, and are potentially harmful to people if they are ingested in larger quantities. The lack of pesticides and preservatives...

...money because without it he will not be able to outfit his group of Merrymen, and they will become weaker and weaker. Another problem is that he is not as stronger as sheriff of Nottingham is growing stronger and becoming better organized. Robin Hood’s band of Merrymen is growing too large to be supported by the local region. The Merrymen’s vigilance is in decline and discipline is hard to enforce First issue that needs to be addressed is focus. Robin should not lose sight of his initial crusade. After all, that's why he started as an out-law in the first place. He needed men to fulfill his quest, but now with the excessive number of men and the excessive demands placed upon the Merrymen, he needs to address the purpose of his revolt. He believed that there would be strength in numbers, yet is that what he learned? In fact, the more men that came to him, the more complicated his revolt got. And not only has that, but now, his group become more vulnerable. The next issue he needs to deal with is the growth of his band of men. In the beginning, he accepted any man without question. But is that a viable strategy now? Does he need more people, or could he become more selective in potential recruits? As he said, he's losing touch with his people. He doesn't know half of them. And that's a problem, isn't it? It's a problem because the Sheriff could send in spies. That makes Robin more vulnerable again. Another problem: food is now scarce and resources are low. Further, he...

...MWF 8AM-8:50AM Exemplification Essay Optimistic Vs. Pessimistic Optimistic or pessimistic? Being an optimistic person is much better than being a pessimistic person. I think that always being positive and having that good energy around you will bring you more than being a pessimist about everything. The meaning of Optimistic is “believing positively,” always “hopeful and confident about the future.” I believe that I’m an optimistic person. I always like to hope for the best. It's not that I always think every single little aspect is going to come out perfect but I do believe that supportive thinking will help bring a supreme outcome of any situation and will bring more good things than bad ones. The more someone has a good attitude towards anything the more stuff they get done and more good things are attracted to them. Life has many ups and downs but you have to remain strong and look at the positive in every situation. I think that even if those around you are pessimistic you have to keep on being optimistic for yourself and themselves. When people are so negative they miss opportunities, make a bigger problem out of a minor one, and just live a life with negative energy that won't help you with all the situations life throws at us. If you really think about it what's better? To think positive and try to find your way out when you encounter trouble or oppose and sink with the problem by finding no way out...

...society this is because if there was no equality, our society would be segregated into different groups. For example there could be a segregation based on gender and that women shouldn’t be allowed to work and they should stay at home whilst men work and earn the income for the household. Another reason why equality is important to society is if equality wasn’t legalised and the law didn’t protect people then hate crime and violence would increase and nothing would be done about it. For example if people were judged on their race or religion then this would cause a lot of conflict between different races and religions and this could escalate and become a bigger problem this could also lead to segregation. Also why equality is important in society is because everybody should feel that they are treated as an individual. This means that people want to be treated individually rather than as a group. For example they wouldn’t want to be treated as a group because this group is there for a reason and it will be based on a certain area, the group may be based on sexual orientation and all of the heterosexual people are in one group and the gay and lesbian people are in another group. What are the benefits of equality in society? The benefits of equality in society are...

...to today’s society? The Circle is presented as a world dominating company that is looking for the next big thing to take over the world. Eggers’s book intriguers a world where having person privacy and believing in it is seen as a crime. The Circle also renames each portion of the company after an historic era to make it less impersonal and more cooperative. The circlers are people who work within the company. These people follow everything the company states and does. At the company, you can be transparent, which means everything you do and say is almost all the time recorded and viewed of people from the entire world. The reality of it is that once you associate yourself with the company, it is very hard to come back from it, because you get told so many propaganda stories on how the Circle is trying to save the world. It is almost as Nineteen Eighty-Four, but bigger and more powerful. In both The Circle and Nineteen Eighty-Four, we have a protagonist who doesn’t really change so much throughout the stories. In The Circle we get to follow...

...about him, he was the main character. The story starts in medias res, which is a common characteristic for short stories. An omniscient third-person narrator tells the story. “In the morning, the man awakens confused… He feels as if he were forgetting something..” P. 2, l 47, the narrator knows how our main character thinks and feels, which works really well because, the main character has so many different thoughts and feelings about seeing him self in the television, so it makes it easier to understand the story. The name on our main character is not stated, and somehow it doesn’t seem accidently. The man sees him self in a lot of different TV shows, his looks are the same, and also with no name. He is kind of like an “everyman”, meaning that he isn’t comfortable with his work and who is right now, so he sees him self in so other ways, with different lives and jobs. The main character doesn’t seem to have the biggest amount of confidence and he seems more proud and...

...company which provides design, products, and manufacturing innovation to the defence industry where reliability, safety and protection are paramount. Staffing to Meet Changing Business Demands - At Dytecna, the management of human resources will need to make sure that the company will have enough staff on hand to meet the demand of the business. This could either mean not employing any more people, hiring more people or even laying off some people. With the current form of government trying to cut back on unnecessary spending such as cutting back on the MOD e.g. ammunition, soldiers and vehicles. This means that the Dytecna company will need to cut back on a work force as less people are need to meet the demand of less products for the MOD in this case. Coordination of Team Resources to Meet Targets - At Dytecna, the company will want to coordinate different teams to do different jobs all at once, this is because the teams can then work together to make sure that the targets are met. By doing this, time is not wasted when members of the work force are working together instead of waiting to do something and that means more products can be made as the coordination of the teams can improve the time taken to complete the production of a product. As a result of this coordination, the company can then sell more products and therefore make a larger profit on the cost of running the company. For example, Dytecna will use their team resources wisely so that not too much time is wasted...

...your story. Does this sound too good to be true? It doesn’t have to be. In fact, with a few very simple tips and tricks you can easily keep your presentations interesting and unforgettable. 1. Be genuine Honesty and humility go a long way. Just because you’re addressing an audience doesn’t mean that you have to be perfect or infinitely knowledgeable. Open with something your audience can relate to: life as we all know it. Sharing a few non-specific or less sensitive details about obstacles or failures relating to the presentation topic can go a long way in connecting with your audience on a personal level. Just be yourself and let your own voice and personality shine through. You don’t need to be stiff and conservative to look professional. It’s a lot easier for your audience to listen to a real story told by a real person than to sit through a formal presentation. Avoid clichés and technical jargon as these phrases tend to lose meaning when they are over used. Instead, try to find more original ways to get your message across. In short, keep it natural and let others learn from your experience and mistakes. 2. Invite participation People are often more interested in themselves than in what you have to say. Make it clear that your audience can feel free to interrupt you in order to make comments or ask questions. This makes the flow of your presentation real and useful to your specific audience and means that they can participate in helping you provide the...

...the economy? Governments care because it is believed that a better national economy leads to a better quality of life for the nation’s citizens. So, governments spend billions of dollars as an attempt to help the nation’s economy grow, which should lead to a better life for the nation’s citizens. This seems like it has good intentions, but many governments borrow the money they use for this spending and that only creates new problems. In the United States, the total debt is greater than its total economic output, and this debt will only hinder future and long term growth. On top of all that, the idea that a better national economy will make the citizens happier overall contradicts the idea that money doesn’t buy happiness. Does this mean that money actually does buy happiness, or does it mean that the economy doesn’t have anything to do with people’s happiness? Some regions are poorer than the United States and yet are happier, an example is Latin America. Other richer countries, like the United States, Japan, and China have had great economic growth over the past few decades, yet happiness has changed very little and in the case of China it has even declined. So does this mean that the economy doesn’t have anything to do with people’s happiness? This statement seems absurd to many people living in countries with struggling economies. If you talk to most people they will want the economy to get better. If you look at government discretionary spending...
