...Can a person be too aggressive? There are many different roles when it comes to a job, and depending on the job that is being performed the job title differs. Tom Parker was a man that enjoyed working outdoors. He has had almost every job one can have when it comes to being outdoors. At the age of 43, he acquired a job with Artic Mining Consultants. With this new job he is responsible for hiring, training, and supervision field assistants for all of the programs. Many of the programs are operated by a project manager who then reports to Parker. On this specific job, himself and his field assistants had to stake a claim, the project team marks a line with flagging tape and blades along the perimeter of the claim, cutting the claim every 500 yards. The 15 claims would require almost 60 miles of line total. The men that were on the job were- John Talbot, Greg Boyce, and Brian Miller, all of which have previously worked with parker. Parker told the crew on the first night that if they got the job finished in a week they would all receive an additional 300 dollars. He told them that he knew that it would be hard work, but he knew they could do it. Each man would have to put up 7 and 1/2 lengths. To his surprise, some of the men could not hold up to that standard. They were only able to get up around 6 a day, if that. As many can probably tell, Parker was not a happy guy about all of that. So he screamed at them every night, telling them that they are pretty much useless and how one...

...four paths of yoga are jnana yoga, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, and raja yoga. Even though the four parts of yoga come from Hindu philosophies each has its own way that can make people live spiritually and comfortably by choosing a certain path that an individual is comfortable with. Everyday people will use techniques that were born with yoga and not even know they are using a basic form of yoga. Each type of yoga is different from one another in a lot of different ways. Jnana yoga is learning from others. Karma yoga believes doing work unselfishly will lead to good deeds happening for one. Bhakti yoga is expressing yourself. Raja yoga is the art of meditation. Jnana yoga or knowledge yoga is based on learning from teachers who have a lot of knowledge with jnana yoga. As such priests and intellectuals will prefer this type of yoga so they can learn and then teach it themselves. Reading the bible is also considered jnana yoga since you will gain knowledge by doing this. This type of yoga was refined by a school of philosophy that is still being done today the school of Vedanta. The Vedanta school uses the ideas of the Upanishads as its primary inspiration. Upanishads is defined as which come at the end of the Vedas. All other forms of yoga do not incorporate learning or teaching in they way they express themselves. Jnana yoga can relate to numerous religions that require the reading of the bible and the quran. Today in school students will use jnana yoga and not even know they are...

... Learning Time Management Jennifer Simmons COM/156 9/1/2013 Linda Daley Time management is a skill that everyone is capable of mastering and yet few take the time to improve. This skill is a crucial part in becoming successful whether it is in completing school, getting everything done at home, or even just completing all the tasks assigned at work. All people are born with a sense of time management; some learn how to use it to aid in getting the most amounts of tasks completed with the least amount of stress possible and still finish with a quality product while others choose not to work on it or improve in any aspect. For those who struggle with time management, it can be really hard to know which techniques will help manage time better and which ones are just going to be a waste of time. According to Peter Bregman (2011) proper time management helps to visualize priorities so that they can be broken into manageable, digestible chunks so that time can be spent where it should be every day. Thankfully there is not guessing as to what to do to improve and there are quite a few proven skills that can be learned with a little practice. Four of the skills that can help manage time no matter where they are applied are; make a plan, maintain a lifestyle that provides the most energy, eliminate the unnecessary, and to reduce interruptions. One technique that is proven to help learn how to use time more wisely...

...Imagine not having a choice and being used for testing without having a say; for everyone this seems like a horrible nightmare but for animals this nightmare is reality. Animals should not be used for testing. They don’t have a voice so they have no way of saying no and testing on animals is wrong in every way possible. This is unfair to the animals because they don’t have a choice. Although animal testing is wrong, it is a good way to make sure the product research is safe before retailing it and letting people use it. Animal testing should not be used because animals have no way of saying no and it is wrong is every way. Animal testing is wrong because animals can’t say no. What if you weren’t able to say no about being tested on? That’s how animals feel because they have no voice. For example, animals are being taken advantage of. Animals can’t talk so the decision on whether or not to be tested on is already made for them. Animals don’t even get to decide things that are being done to them. As said in an article, “Animals are routinely cut open, poisoned and put into cages for weeks, month, or even year” (Ocean Lu Blog). Animals don’t deserve to have all of these things done to them. Animals also have no say in what gets done to them. Sometimes animals get things that don’t belong in their bodies put into them just to see how they react. They don’t have a say in whether or not they can have these things put into them. As said in an article, “Some animals are even given diseases...

...enough to cure myself. Wow. What a lie. And that was really true. I did have that dream. I dreamt it wherever I'd go. And it didn't matter where I went. I always needed a smoke. And with every smoke I had I would wonder, will this one be my last? Will I finally have enough in me to cure once and for all? It was also a way of holding onto a fantasy. Dreams do come true, but not in the way you may think they do sometimes. My dream of being smoke-free came true, but not in the way I dreamed it would. I had the most illusive dream. It is much like, the American Dream. Because each person is different and have different ideas about how to live an ethical way of life without damaging life around us now, and it is us who need to make the change, to be that change, we wish to see in the world. There are lots of lies that are told to us throughout our lives. most of mine came in the first 30 years of my life. It is hard to break free from all of those lies. They have become quite ingrained within us and when we go to release something that we have healed, another thing pops up and thus continues a cycle of releasing and healing until we are done. And are we ever done? No, I don't believe we are ever done. We always have work to do. We can be done with our quitting and withdrawal, but life goes on, and we still have work to do on ourselves once we know we are never going back. That is a life time of self-development and your commitment is your own vow to yourself to be the...

...realize that leaders are not super humans or, in most cases any different from the rest of us, in most ways. However, when one ascends to a position of leadership, he must choose whether he truly wishes to act as, and become a real leader. This process often begins with an attitude, and whether one opts to be either a possibility or impossibility thinker. When it comes to effective leaders, this can do versus can't do attitude and mind set, usually begins with whether or not someone is able to even see and visualize the possibilities. If one can't believe, in his mind's eye, that something is possible, how could he possibly proactively proceed? Deepak Chopra puts it this way, "You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible."...

...The way I would explain learning would be that learning is taking in the world around you and finding understanding as well as opening yourself to new experiences and possibility. Since I started this class my view on learning has changed because I now have a better understanding of how I learn and what I need to do to become a better student. My first thought of learning was very narrow and I didn’t realize that it was more complex than I ever thought, but after going through this course, reading the material and doing the assignments I have a better understanding and a more open view of the world. My learning patterns are Sequance-29, Precision-24, Technical reasoning-19, confluence-19. I have a very organized way of learning, I like making list and sticking to them. When I’m learning my sequence is used first, I put the tasks in order, make a list of what needs to be done and make sure I have everything written down before I start. The next thing I do is examine and identify what is excerpted from me to do so I can get it done the right way; this is where my precision takes over. After I have my lists done and I know what needs to be done I start brainstorming different ideas and try different ways to put my ideas together, this is the part where I use my technical reasoning and confluence to put my assignments together. When I’m done putting things together I review my work a few times and make the needed changes, my precision and technical reasoning at work once again...

...Sit & Reach Suitability- Any client can do this exercise because it easy to do and requires a low amount of physical activity. The restriction would be disable people. Reliability- If I was going to do this test again then I would have to do a quick warm up so that the my body can produce more synovial which would allow me stretch further and would change the result of the test. Validity- the test is a reasonable way to measure the client flexibility of the client because it test the clients hamstring and lower back. If the test is done properly the result will be accurate but if done wrong then the results would be wrong. Practicality- the test is very realistic because all it takes is one piece of equipment which is the sit and reach bench which can be found at any gym or can be brought online or in a sort store but the equipment can be very expensive which can be a letdown because not many people would want to spend lot of money on one equipment . The test fairly easy to set up all you need is a wall or a person to hold the bench so that the client can use it.

...Question 1. Do you think what the EDS pilot did to Marilyn was what he ought to have done? Can you justify your position? What principles might you use to do so? What does Jan Narveson think about cases like Marilyn’s? Why does he think as he does? How many changes, and to what extent, would be the very minimum that would have to be made in Godwin’s story “Cold Equations” before you would think that Marilyn ought to be spared by the EDS pilot? Stephanie Mann 4778759 Phil 1F90 Maya Snrdic In the short story The Cold Equations, it depicts life’s real challenges, and how we must face them when in a decision of where we are obligated to figure out for ourselves what is right and wrong. Although this is a science-fictional story, it shows us how real life decisions are made, in which this case, the decision is threatening to one’s life. The choices made in this story are done through morality, utilitarianism, and assumption, clearly shown throughout the obstacles that are thrown at the main character and subject. In this short story, Marilyn made a choice, and clearly the last choice she could have made as a young 18 year old, to sneak onto a ship that was clearly marked “unauthorized personnel, keep out!” Little did she know was that her decision to sneak onto this ship would not be to pay a small fine, but would be to pay the price of her life. The EDS pilot now has to face decisions that he would rather not, since he is the one who has to choose who dies or not. He...

...Abstract Carly is the project manager for a very important project due the 1st of the year. The project manager for this project needs to demonstrate leadership skills, and the ability to take control of their team and get the job done by the deadline. The next few pages will give insight on Carly, her team and the events that may occur during the timeline of this project. A Bad Project Manager Carly lacks the skills of a Project Manager in the leadership ability area and developing communication skills with people. Her control factor as a responsible Project Manager seems to lack. The admitting of defeat is never an easy thing to do. If Carly were to come and admit that she was not able to carry out this project it would mean maybe in her mind that Morris is smarter than she is and a better candidate for her job. As with most people it is so much easier to place blame someplace other than on yourself. While using Morris as a distraction as to not getting her job done she has placed blame on Morris who is not the root cause of the delay of the project. The lack of attention to the project deadline and its delay gives proof of the lack of ability on the part of Carly. As Project Manager one of the main things you want to do is to stay within the allotted timeframe given by the customer to keep them happy. There is no demonstration of control showing the progress of the project to the planned or projected status at various times throughout the duration of the project (Gido...

...sometimes necessary in some organizations. It could be based on an organization not performing up to standards or moving mangers around to provide a fresh look on a company and come up with different ideas that can benefit that particular location. When changing over, a bad plan of action can negatively affect an organization. Due to the difficulties that arise when there is a change in management, there needs to be a effective way for managers to adapt to their new work place. Success starts from the top and trickles down. Employees look to their managers to guide them in the right direction. According to “10 principles of change management” : Because change is inherently unsettling for people at all levels of an organization, when it is on the horizon, all eyes will turn to the CEO and the leadership team for strength, support, and direction. The leaders themselves must embrace the new approaches first, both to challenge and to motivate the rest of the institution. The managers must be the first ones to level with the employees and understand them. It is not the staffs job to change their work ways to satisfy the new management team. Some managers walk in to new businesses demanding respect and placing new rules in place Identify problem The problem in this situation is the reaction the new managers and employees have to one another. When a new team of managers come into a building of employees a lot of problems arise. Even when it is only two managers who are...
