...2001: A Space Odyssey Analysis The purpose of this report is threefold. I will begin by briefly discussing my interpretation of the film, 2001: a Space Odyssey, with a particular focus on the piece of alien technology, the black monolith. I will then discuss the plausibility of the Jupiter landing/living scenes, including the accuracy of how it was portrayed and whether living on Jupiter for a sustained period of time is realistic. Finally, I will wrap up by delving deeper into the black monolith. I will discuss the plausibility of the technology and the initial reaction to the technology from life on Earth. The ending of this film is entirely open to interpretation, ranging from an explanation for Darwinian evolution to strictly religious thoughts of God or gods. Personally, I saw the black monolith as some sort of super-advanced alien technology that served multiple purposes. The first purpose, which was seen in the “Dawn of Man” section of the movie, was to assist in the advancement of an intelligent race. The monolith first appeared to the primates, before some of the early Homo species had arose. Shortly after contact with the monolith, one group of primates began to use a bone as a weapon. With the newly found weapons, one group was able to defend the water hole from another group. This suggests that the monolith had somehow inspired, whether through some sort of telepathic thought transmission or simply through touching it, the apes to begin using tools. The monolith...

... Hershey’s Sweet Mission HRM 500 – Human Resource Management Foundations Leslie Medlock Dr. James Ziegler April 27, 2011 Recommend the redesign of Hershey’s performance management system to appeal to the diverse groups that it employs: In answering the above question my recommendations of the redesign of Hersey’s performance management system to appeal to the diverse group that they employee would be to keep their current designed performance management system. Their redesign system caters to two specific generations, the baby boomers and the younger generation. Hershey has a system in place in which the baby boomers train/mentor the new “millennial” worker (employees in their twenties) due to, “the baby boomers tend to be interested in leaving a legacy, making the world better, so they generally are enthusiastic about mentoring their younger colleagues” (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, Wright, 2011). The baby boomers are role models, coaches, and advocates for Hershey. Mentoring gives them opportunities to utilize their abilities, experience, and wisdom both to their own benefit and that of Hersey’s to guide the younger generation employed with the company. Hershey has redesigned its performance management system appealing to the younger generations’ eagerness for challenge, autonomy, and results, the redesign was a bottom-up effort, in which people throughout the company set goals and track progress on projects. The system measures not only business...

...still a major mystery of earth history. In this review article, extinctions in the geological record will be briefly mentioned. Many of the imaginative theories for the extinction of the dinosaurs will also be presented. Within the uniformitarian paradigm, the meteorite impact theory, once considered ‘outrageous’, now is the dominant theory. However, the volcanic theory is still believed by a majority of paleontologists. Both theories have their strengths and weaknesses. The unscientific behavior of those involved in the meteorite paradigm change will be briefly explored. Evidence that the dinosaurs died in a cataclysm of global proportions will be presented, such as the huge water-laid dinosaur graveyards found over the earth. Occasional nonspecific bone-beds and the rarity of fossils of very young dinosaurs suggest a catastrophic death and burial. The billions of dinosaur tracks recently discovered provide testimony to unusual, stressful conditions. Nests, eggs, and babies are a challenge to a Flood model, but there are enough unknowns associated with the data that solid conclusions are difficult to draw. The part that impacts and volcanism play in a Flood paradigm will be briefly discussed. The question of whether the K/T boundary and the extinction of the dinosaurs should be considered a synchronous event within the Flood will be considered. Introduction Dinosaurs bring wonder to children and adults alike. That such great beasts once roamed the earth is hard to imagine. Even...

What are similarities does the speaker find between a child and a book of poem? What does she plan to do now that her child has ben put on public display? “ill-formed offspring” tells that something was wrong with the baby, but in different connotation saying her book was not finished and had errors. “my rambling brat” would be name for a child that say unmeaning things or talks to much and in this sense her book may have been the one that could’ve had incomplete phrases, or incomplete thoughts. “I stretched thy joints to make thy feet even” suggests that she tried to better the baby by fixing its position but she actually...

...is yes that's the whole point of stimulus programs and in some way or another government's whole budget. So when the government gets together and looks at what to cut for the sequester they seem to weigh what seems to be important to the people and what's not important. The disturbing result is the lack of funding and respect space programs get. I know, I know the "fact" that the moon is mad of cheese is good enough for a lot of people and seems to satisfy the masses but I have news for you NASA and the drive of space exploration has given the people of the world more than just the real truth of what the moon is made of. A 1999 Gallup poll found that 18 percent of American adults believed that the sun revolved around earth with 3 percent unsure.(Andrews). Not only that according to a 2004 Science Foundation study 32 percent of adults thought that astrology was either "sort of scientific" or "very scientific".(Andrews). How pathetic is that? There has been a seeming acceptance of ignorance across the board on anything scientific. So no wonder why there is a lack of respect for space and scientific research. Maybe it's the science community's fault for making space uninteresting by taking the human out of it after all we just ended the shuttle program in 2011 leaving American astronauts no choice but to...

...Analysis of Joanne Fedler’s short story “A Simple Exchange of Niceties” There are many great moment of every humans life. But one of the biggest moments – maybe the biggest of all – in a woman’s life is the time when her first baby enters the world, and she hold the baby in her arms for the first time. The feelings in a moment like this can’t be described – they have to be felt, to be understood. Those are the feelings our main character in Joanne Fedler’s short story “A Simple Exchange of Niceties” faces in the end of the story. But before she is ready for those feelings, an important meeting with another woman takes place. When we first meet the narrator, she seems like a woman with low self-esteem. A misunderstood soul in a world she doesn’t fit in to. She is alone in the park, confused and miserable; she has just realized that she is pregnant, and has decided to get an abortion. She doesn’t feel like she is worth loving; neither by the man who got her pregnant, and afterwards referred to her as a trashy whore, or by her mother, who has never cared much for her. She went to prison for three months, when she was caught in shoplifting. She feels like she haven’s achieved much in life: “I’ve never done anything with my life”, she says on page 11, line 37. During the story, she only mentions her friend Barbie as an important person in her life, which makes her seem a bit lonely. She fits in in the box of outsiders which exists in every community. The bench plays an important...

...corresponding thereof”. This would forbid abortions and certain birth control pill. Biblically it says “Thou Shall not Kill” but what transpire when a minor is raped and get pregnant. Should she be made to bring the child to term? After Mississippians went out to cast their votes, Initiative 26 was not approved. The persistence of this paper is to analysis this subject Biblically and then analysis it based upon how people view it. Key Words: Abortion, God, Murder Abortion: Is it Right or is it wrong? Abortion has become very popular in recent years. There are many people who support it and many that don’t. Sometimes abortion seems necessary but still God’s word, “Thou Shall Not Kill” stand. Many people will refuse to accept God’s word as a standard by which they should live and make decision. This is their right to reject it. Having an abortion is basically killing an innocent child. It has become a manufacturing, an elucidation, an excuse to avoid responsibility (Anderson, 2003). Abortion is wrong because God said we are not to murder, but not all people believe what God says and do whatever pleases them. However, a baby in the womb has done no wrong, yet it is executed. Therefore it is only in abortion that someone is executed but has not violated the law. This is essentially wrong, and this is why abortion is wrong (Andrew, 2003). In order to determine whether abortion is wrong Biblically, we must completely understand what...

... Gerber is just as healthy and good for parents and baby if not better. There has been so much development with Gerber and they are doing not just over process food for baby and promote raising a healthy baby. Gerber is still healthy and nutritious for baby. Gerber is more than just an older brand that been around for a long time. The objective is for people to remember that Gerber is just as healthy and good for parents and baby if not better. Gerber is going to try and reach all types of parents and their families through out this campaign. Research has been conducted to find out average income and ages in households that we are targeting to help with price points. A thorough market analysis helped us learn whom we are going to get more involved with. Even though Gerber is already known for targeting parents and their young children we want this campaign to specifically include first time parents, parents that are expanding the family, stay at home parents, organic parents, parents on a budget, and parents who want to be as educated as possible about their children health and growth. We want to use many means of communication during this campaign to promote purchase motivation is that Gerber is more than just a familiar face they have a product that is right for every type of parent. We will mix the old and new with this campaign we want families to think “ Growing Up Gerber” for years to come along with the Gerber Baby original picture. All this will be accomplished with...

...Alex Erebor 2/1/10 An Analysis of Natural Law and Morality Human beings are undoubtedly the most sophisticated life forms on Earth. We are capable of many remarkable feats, but the one attribute that separates from other life on Earth is the ability to rationalize and reason. Because of this, humans have been able to form a society in which our activities are judged to be right or wrong. This phenomenon is known as morality and is only existent in human society. As expected, when dealing with such advanced life forms, it becomes quite difficult to determine what actions are just and which are immoral. Also often there are exceptions to each rule, which further clouds our ability to differentiate between the two sides of the spectrum. Therefore, a closer analysis of natural law and its protocols is needed in order to gain a better understanding of the unwritten rules and logic behind them that form our society. According to Dr. Alfonso Gomez-Lobo of Georgetown University, there is a list of basic goods by which we live. These commodities, more or less, are intended to be universal to all human beings, as they are essential for healthy human function. This list includes life, family, friendship, work and play, experience of beauty, theoretical knowledge, integrity, and depending on who follows this list, religion often appears as a disputed, subjective good. Perhaps one of the more intriguing questions discussed concerning this compilation of goods is what exactly makes...

Then eleven years later, Apollo 11 landed on the moon, and for the first-time man could walk on a surface other than something on the Earth. We learned a lot from going into space, and we could create amazing inventions from it. A great deal of modern technology is a result of space exploration, so we should continue to explore space to expand our technology and knowledge. Technology before the exploration of space was different than the technology we have today....

...reflective of our general society If the church expects to reach this generation we must be on the cutting edge of multi-ethnic teachings that helps the church to reflect what is happening within our societies. Too often the church is behind the secular community, when it comes to embracing a new trend that impacts our society. In addition, the authors comments, “She argues for multicultural churches as part of a necessary breakthrough to catch up with secular culture, which is ahead of the church in engaging with the broader multicultural society and is already seeking to break down cultural boundaries.” (p.20) Furthermore, the church needs to be inspired by this comment because the church needs to show the world a true reflection on heaven on earth. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ concerning the kingdom that all ethnicities and cultures should be united in love and conduct. Jesus told his disciples’ concerning the vision of unity, “Go ye therefore. And teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:19-20 KJV). The book “ Ethnic Blends: Mixing Diversity into Your Local Church”(Mark Deymaz & Harry Li, 2010) comments “ I do not use the term multicultural to describe Mosaic or other such churches in order to avoid any confusion with the tenants of multiculturalism- otherwise defined as “ postmodern...
