...Attention Getter: Picture your dog having been in a horrible accident. The only options are to let it suffer or to put it down. Most would choose to take the dog out of its suffering. Now, imagine this happening to a family member. What if the family member was asking for their suffering to end? Introduction: Assisted suicide is an intentional termination of life by another at the explicit request of the person who wishes to die. There are current debates on the legality of assisted suicide. Issue Statement: We believe assisted suicide should be legal. Premise 1: Performing assisted suicide on a person is no different than putting a pet down. The American Veterinary Medical Association Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animals 2013 Edition defines euthanasia as, “Ending the life of one individual animal in a way that minimizes or eliminates pain and distress.” This definition resembles the definition of euthanasia performed on humans. Therefore the same ethics and morals can be applied. We should be compassionate towards humans as we are to pets as far as assisted suicide. Behavioral science professor Barton Ross discusses in his book Pet Loss and Human Emotion: A Guide to Recovery, “A man who was suffering from lung cancer had a dog with the same disease. He was well educated on the options available to him in fighting the disease progressed and chose a similar course of treatment for his dog. As the disease progressed in the dog, the veterinarian recommended euthanasia...

...Every manager supposed to know all of his strengths and weaknesses knowing that he/she will be dealing with people of all different behaviors. Knowing your strengths and weakness is the key asset to successfully manage an organization. For this purpose Dr. J. Clayton Lafferty developed The Life Style Inventory (LSI) for self-improving purposes for the reasons of increasing a personal and professional effectiveness. The LSI measures 12 specific styles of patterns of thinking that can either help or hinder a person from reaching his or her potential. The 12 styles measured by LSI are organized into three general clusters: Constructive, which includes: achievement, self-actualizing, humanistic-encouraging, and affiliate thinking style. Passive/Defensive, which includes: approval, conventional, dependent, and avoidance thinking styles. Aggressive/Defensive, which includes: oppositional, power, competitive, and perfectionistic thinking styles. After honestly answering 240 questions I received the results that my primary personal style is achievement where I received the highest score of 95%. This style shows the following characteristics: focusing on achieving self-set goals, believes that individual effort counts, commits to make things better, take on challenging tasks and prefer to setting and accomplishing realistic goals rather than goals imposed by others. My secondary personal style is self-actualizing. This style shows the following characteristics: self-respect, receptive...

...SECTION 1 OL 125: Personal Development Plan – Setting Your Vision (Milestone One) Student Name: John Rokos Date: November 4, 2013 Hello, What have I learned about myself so far? Loaded question since I feel that everything that has been brought to my attention through these 2 chapters are things I have heard before. Some things are new but overall, I am not surprised by the results. I am hoping to find ways for me to stay in control and to motivate others at the same time. I would like to find ways of coping and to build from within to make my team and the other teams around me better. Revision December 15, 2013 This course has shown me ways that I can improve in my ways to motivate others. Either in a team environment or as an individual. For both I do tend to use the reward method. I will buy a little treat for somebody who has helped me out with the project I am working on at the moment. I know that no job is done by one person. I also will bring in donuts or coffee to the team in the morning just for a good will jester. Just acknowledging them goes a long way. As for the keeping in control, I will use ideas that I have read throughout the course in all of my future position both in professional and personnel life. Stepping back and taking a deep breath from time to time will be very beneficial for me. The assessments step quizzes did help point out what I didn’t want to hear but knew along.

The purpose of promotion is to appeal your product or service as a business to the wider public so that potential customers are aware and also this can help your business to gain more sales and revenue, promotion can also be seen as a way of penetrating the market to gain more recognition. Promotional Mix The promotional mix has six elements and I will be moving on to describe the mix being used by two businesses, the six elements are as follow include: Advertising, direct marketing, personal selling, sales promotions, sponsorship, publicity and public relations. Advertising Advertising in the promotional mix is important because it’s a way a business can advertise their specific product or service in order for them to get recognised and try achieve sales for the specific product you’re selling.

...Now with the good comes the bad, I feel like the feature should have only been used exclusively on Desmond. The light change brought out the best in him, and he brought out the best of the feature. At some times the lights were slow coming in and that was the only time this feature was used poorly during the whole play. The acting in this play was very good and well done in this play. All of the characters seemed like they were casted comfortably in their roles and did a good job taking their character to the next level. A few of the actors did not really capitalize on the stage they were given with the spotlight. A few of the spots were dull and freezing the characters and putting the spotlight on certain characters didn’t work for them. In contrast that same filter worked perfectly for the aforementioned Desmond Darkacre and the other character who used it well was Violet Nightshade. She was the perfect...

...Money Has No Meaning Money cannot buy happiness. Happiness is only expressed by the way we feel, not by showing how much we have, that is why it is priceless. Individuals believe money can lead to power, but money cannot bring permanent joy to one’s life. In Fahrenheit 451, it expresses the idea of money not bringing joy. “I,I” Mrs. Phelps cries, “don’t know, don’t know, I just don’t know, oh, oh... - pg. 97.” This excerpt showed that Mrs. Phelps really never felt real emotion, causing her to feel unordinary and surprised of the new emotions. As soon as Montag read Dover Beach to Mrs. Phelps, her brain turned “off” and “on” like a light switch to actually think of how unhappy she really was. While Mildred and the rest of the guests had tv’s and studio rooms, they also had money. The only problem with the situation was that money was around, but happiness was not, causing them to feel unhappy. In The Black Cat, the man has an addiction with alcohol causing him to act abusive. The man had everything to possess...

...Hardware Replacement Project Steven Royster IT/205 Matthew Juliana 25 March 2012 The IT department wants to replace their old CRM with a new CRM solution. The only problem is that their existing hardware is old and out of date thus will not support the new CRM. I have been called in to not only access the situation but to analyze what equipment will be needed and help install the equipment. This has to be done before the new CRM can be installed and implemented. Before all that can happen I first must come up with a report for the executives that talks about the five project management variables and how they relate to the upcoming project. I will also discuss what considerations should be thought about as to get the company the best value and what factors will influence the project risk along with how to keep those risks down to a minimal amount. In order to get the picture of how the new CRM will work out the five major variables of project management must be analyzed to see how they will fit in to the scenario. The five major variables are scope, time, cost, quality, and risk. Every one of these variables will play a role in this project so I will discuss each one: 1. Scope defines what work is or is not included in a project. For this particular project there will be a scope for new networking equipment as well as computer equipment to implement the new CRM. The borderline of the scope for the project must not be crossed because it can possibly mess up one of...

...are now professors in the discipline, they still deem necessary to give to people an explanation of what they really do. Personally I can relate to that. Coming from engineering school and an architectural program I never found myself in the position of explaining people what the field of study was really about because it’s rather common knowledge to know what architecture really is. Transferring to an Interior Design program seemed to change the dynamic of conversation when explaining what it really is and what covers as a profession. Upon engaging into conversation with people I would find that most of them just thought the interior designing was just about decorating, in other words, just putting a fresh coat of paint to a space and bringing in some “cool”...

...Analysis of Team Charter: Explain how, considering your team members’ individual differences, you must use your team charter to improve performance. Analysis of Team Charter: Explain how, considering your team members’ individual differences, you must use your team charter to improve performance. “Team” comprises a group of people linked in for a common purpose. In a smoothly functional team, every member contributes towards the desired team goal. Each member of the team is different from the other member in various qualities. Sometimes team members move away from the teams goal roadmap and thus the need for Team Charter arises. “Team Charters” are written documents which defines the team’s mission, vision and objectives. With a lot of diversity in the group, it is not easy to move forward in a team without the proper direction, objective and guidelines. Thus our team charter would be used as a tool to reach the desired project goals, provide a constructive learning experience and resolve the any potential conflicts that may arise.

...Jung’s theory is based on the pysche (commonly called the ego) and operates by the principle of opposites, the personal and collective, and the unconscious and conscious. We use our primoridal past, something we inherit from our ancestors, to make sense of our future. Where Freud used the word libido, he was speaking more about the sexual driver, on the contrary, Jung uses the word to mean an energy that moves a person forward. The ego for Freud is teh executor of the personality, whereas, for Jung, the ego is one’s conscious perception of self. Our personal unconscious is where our perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and memories have been surpressed and can be esaily retrieved. All of our experiences in our life histories are stored in our personal unconscious. Our experiences, according to Jung, are grouped together in what he calls. Complexes are ideas and attitutudes that agglutinate together thru feelings. There are four types of complexes: The Ego- which is in our personal conscious, this is where we accept things as who we are, typically good things. The Shadow-this is the opposite of the Ego, things we do not accept as us, which are typically bad. the Shadow is not as well developed as the Ego. The Persona-This is a Greek word which means "maks", the facade we wear for society, and is also given by and used by society. Archetypes-specific meanings we ues to make sense of the world, and are connnected to our primoridal past. Jung's theory was based on the ego...

...First lab link By Dr. Tanya Bryon, a great guardian is a man that doesn't stress a lot over being the ideal guardian. The best sort of child rearing originates from the heart as indicated by Dr. Bryon. It shouldn't be done mechanically on the grounds that that is the point at which the issues begin.

Play is crucial in the guardian kid relationship in light of the fact that it assembles a bond between the guardian and the kid. Youngsters feel cherished when folks play with them in light of the fact that they are given positive consideration. It manufactures trust and a feeling that all is well with the world. It likewise helps in social abilities and correspondence. I genuinely don't know whether I will or won't be a decent parent on the grounds that it's an everyday procedure. For instance once in a while when a child doesn't get his direction, he or she may think their guardians are awful ones , however as a general rule they are doing it for their own great.
