...Suppression, Advanced Products, I got an opportunity to apply concepts that I have learned in the class into practice. Company IV was able to implemented decision successfully despite many ongoing communication barriers and conflicts. Communication and influence tactics played a major role in decision-making and helped resolve conflicts within the company. In the beginning, I felt that my interpersonal communication skills were very distorted, because I was overwhelmed with available resources and quite confused about how to prioritize given work. My feelings about the subject matter at hand acted as a barrier to communication, therefore, it took me a while to completely understand concerns regarding advanced products in my company. I feel that if I were able to talk to other managers at my company before starting the day at the company IV, I would have conducted the given tasks differently. I experienced multiple meanings of a word as a barrier to communication. During my meeting with the Director of advance products, I was trying to explain, a “fire incident” at the supplier of advanced products. However, my director interpreted word “fire” as “a layoff situation at the supplier factory”. I tried to explain her the situation twice with words, then used non-verbal gesture to explain the word “fire”. I believed that our communication was affected by recency error. Not a long ago, we were informed that Manager of Electrical – Utility products quit the job. So, I assume that the interpretation...

...November 22nd is a day of recognition and remembrance for an important man in American history. This year will have been the 50th anniversary dedicated to great John F. Kennedy and his unfortunate assassination. However, after 50 years why are we still questionable to of who is actually responsible for his death. For me personally the charge against Lee Harvey Oswald doesn’t cut it for me. A six story shot from a building at angle that “the best gun man” now can’t mimic seems more of a cover up for what was really going on. Now, I personally cannot tell you who did it because I obviously wasn’t present on the day of the assassination. To be frank I wasn’t even a thought, but I can give my input in who I believe is responsible for it, and I believe that it wasn’t a single person. With all the conspiracy theories about Mr. Kennedy’s murderer, I believe it would be okay to rule out the ones about someone poisoning a salad, or sandwich and giving it to him because that’s obviously not what happened on the day of his assassination. I mean, it could have happened earlier, not saying that anything is possible, but there’s no reliable source that we can look back to. Plus, his face didn’t explode from a chemical reaction or poison… It was more of a bullet to the face approach. But sandwich and salads aside, one of the conspiracy theories that do capture my attention with convincing evidence is the fact that the ones truly responsible for his assassination were the Mob and Lyndon...

Many events that have occurred since can be traced back to the Assassination. After 49 years the world is still questioning the facts of the assassination. There have been many investigation yet the questions are still there. Section one President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1962.

...suspenseful 13 day standoff between the Americans and the Soviet Union. It all started on October 14, 1962, when a high altitude U-2 plane took pictures of nuclear tipped IRBM (intermediate-range ballistic missiles) and MRBM (medium range ballistic missiles) in Cuba. The two proposals were set on the table: air strike and invade, or naval blockade. Ever since the Bay Pigs invasion, (which was an American led invasion where we got over 1200 Cuban refugees and sent them to Cuba to overthrow the government, but the effort failed) the Cubans wanted to be better protected. Cuba was allied with Soviet Union at that time and since the Cold War was going on between...

...The day that President Obama was sworn in as president is significant to me, more than just for the event. Certainly the event itself has historical meaning to all Americans, but the thing I remember most is that that was the day that I learned a very important lesson from my children Leading up to the election my children were very excited that an African American man has a chance to become president of the United States. I have to admit, I was pretty excited myself. However, the history of the country did not lead me to believe that it would actually happen. For numerous reasons I had my doubts. In the months leading up to the election I warned my children not to get too disappointed if things didn’t work out the way they wanted it to. Despite my warnings, as Election Day grew near my children actually became even more excited. Secretly, I was just as excited. Nevertheless, I did not want to get my hopes up too high. Honestly, I still did not believed that it would happen. I was preparing to sooth the disappointment in my children once the election results were announced. Election Day was a big event at my house. All my friends and family had gathered over and we were all tuned in to the television. Hour after hour I saw Obama leading the polls and I begin to feel a certain excitement that it might actually happen. I remember it being a school night for the children. We allowed them to stay up since this was such an historical event. When Barack Obama finally won our house...

...Leading the Rescue of the Miners in Chile Disaster struck on August 5, 2010. Thirty-three miners, drilling 700 meters (2,300 feet) below the surface, were entombed by a massive cave-in. They had been working in a medium-sized copper and gold mine beneath the moonlike wilderness of the Atacama Desert near the city of Copiapó, Republic of Chile (Chile), some 800 kilometers (500 miles) north of the country’s capital, Santiago. Chilean Mining Minister Laurence Golborne had arrived in Quito, Ecuador, at 9 p.m. that same day with Chilean President Sebastián Piñera on a state visit. At 11 p.m., Golborne’s smart phone came to life with a message whose brevity spoke urgency: “Mine cave-in, Copiapó; 33 victims.” Golborne informed the president the next morning and flew on commercial air flights to Lima, Peru, and then to Santiago. He then took a Chilean Air Force (FACH) flight to Copiapó, and, from there, he was driven some 45 kilometers to the mine, finally arriving at 3:30 a.m. on August 7. Piñera, a business-friendly Chilean president inaugurated on March 11, 2010, had recruited Golborne, an engineer, entrepreneur, and corporate executive, to serve as Chile’s minister of mines. Golborne had served as chief executive of Cencosud S.A., a large retail firm, and under his leadership, the company had increased annual sales ten-fold, entered the Brazilian, Colombian, and Peruvian markets, and opened two new business lines, including financial William and Jacalyn Edgar Professor of Management...

...all trades. President Reagan wanted the best for the American people. He didn’t want Americans to be so reliant on the government. This started the innovative program called the Reagan Revolution. While in college Ronald Reagan became interested in acting, but instead decided to become a radio sports announcer. He eventually moved to Chicago where he became the announcer for the Chicago Cubs baseball team. Reagan was in California with the Cubs for spring training and was screened by Warner Brothers and won a contract. He then appeared in 53 films. Granted not all of his films were great ones, but he did do very well and went after what he wanted. Some of the films he starred in were actually used against him during the campaign. They made fun of him because he was in a movie with a monkey. After Reagan’s acting career took off, he became more interested in politics and decided to run for governor of California in 1966, winning by a margin of one millions votes. Some people tended to disagree with the way he was running the state because he raised the state’s taxes, but he also lowered the state’s debt. Even through this controversy he was reelected as governor in 1970. Most Democrats laughed at Reagan running for governor because of some of his movies, and because his costar was a chimp in some of them. In 1980 Ronald Reagan was elected our 40th president, and also the oldest president to be voted in, at the age of 69. After only being in office for 69 days, he was shot...

...In this essay I am going to write about if the president have too much or too little power? In my opinion I personally believe that that in some ways the President has too much power today and the amount of power given to any one individual should carefully be monitored, some people might think that he has too much and others think not enough, I think it must be in moderation, becasue too much power could lead to corruption. I also feel that the power the president has should be limited. People says that the president has taken so much power from the other branches of government that this threatens our democratic system, the U.S. Constitution is supposed to prevent the president from using power in the wrong way. Article II states all the things that a president may do and some of the things that he or she may not do. People expect the president to deal with a huge number of problems. If there is economic trouble, they expect the president to cure it. Modern presidents don't just try to administer the laws passed by Congress. Nor do they merely recommend measures to Congress as required by the Constitution, through staff members, they often bring pressure on Congress to pass favored bills, including some actually written in the Executive Department. In Washington's day, many people thought the president's powers were only those directly mentioned in Article II of the Constitution. The first believed that the powers of the president were few and limited. Presidents of this type...

...HST 202 Apri Pancho Villa’s Raids into the United States There is a day in U.S. History that is sometimes forgotten. On this day, five hundred Mexican guerillas crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and induced anarchy upon a small New Mexico town. The day is March 9, 1916. On this day, former friend to the United States, Pancho Villa raided the United States and killed seventeen Americans. Doroteo Arango, also known as, Pancho Villa was born on June, 5 1878, in Rio Grande, Mexico. Villa was made the man of the house at a young as after the death of his father. His life of rebellion and crime started at a young age as he was arrested and imprisoned for killing a man who was harassing his younger sister (Bio.com). Soon after his conviction he escaped prison and began his life as an outlaw. As years went on and Mexico’s government was torn by corruption, Villa teamed up with Francisco Madreo and started a Mexican revolutionary throughout the northern part of Mexico (Bio.com). As one of Madreo’s most skilled and talented fighter he was appointed Colonel (Bio.com). In 1911, Villa leads his troops to victory in the Battle of Cuidad Juarez and Madreo becomes Mexico’s new president (Emerson Kent.com). In the following year Villa disobeys direct orders from Madreo and gets sentenced to life in prison (Bio.com).

Having historic impacts, the 1960s included the launching of the Apollo 11 mission, assassination of Martin Luther King Jr, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War. Of all the impacting historic events of the decade, Ernie Cannata will forever remember the day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated as if it was yesterday. Ernie Cannata is a long time English teacher at both Santa Ana High School and Godinez Fundamental High School where he has coached field hockey, soccer, volleyball, and softball while working for the Santa Ana Unified School District.

...Composition I Instructor Ginger Marcinkowski December 20, 2015 A Historic Inauguration I remember it like it was yesterday, feeling honored, excited and staring in awe among millions of people who were just as excited as me. I could not begin to comprehend how much this event would affect my life because I had a first-hand account of experiencing history. January 20, 2009, will forever be among the most remarkable events in my life. Witnessing the inauguration of our nation's’ first African American president holds a momentous place in my heart and mind. Two a.m. Sunday morning before Barack Obamas’ inauguration ceremony, many of my family and friends loaded a crowded charter bus for the historic journey to our Nations’ Capital to witness this life changing event. As we traveled 10 hours by bus to Washington D.C, you could hear women laugh like hyenas and gallant voices of men telling tales of when they encountered instances of racism and injustice. As I sat inaudible in my bucket seat wrapped in a patchwork chevron quilt, I immersed myself in the cultural conversations around me while acquiring knowledge of the struggles my elders endured during the Civil Rights Movement. One common facet in every conversation was the fact that they never thought they would live to see a black president. Oh, how it made me proud to see how our nation has evolved and that my elders lived to experience it too! Further down the road as we neared our destination, I started to...

...the principles of The New Right? PRESIDENT RONALD REGAN- The principles were that people could come together and network to achieve a goal, or many goals, not only conservative Christians but a credible coalition of people. SARAH ELM-Why did you support The New Right? PRESIDENT RONALD REGAN- I felt like I should use my popularity to bring awareness to the policies I believed in and it was my duty to be a part of this mission to create a strong and steady republican party. SARAH ELM- What were your intentions at the end of the Cold War? PRESIDENT RONALD REGAN- My number one priority was an end to nuclear weapons buildups. An agreement not to expand atomic arsenals was what we needed and the slowing of arms control incentives is what lead to achieving this. SARAH ELM- How would you describe the Regan Doctrine? PRESIDENT RONALD REGAN- The Regan doctrine was our support to any country who opposed communism whether or not they had any direct connection to the Soviet Union. SARAH ELM- What did you want to show the world about the United States of America with this doctrine? PRESIDENT RONALD REGAN- I simply wanted the world to know that there was a new American activism who supports all how oppose communism. SARAH ELM- Why did you propose supply-side economics? PRESIDENT RONALD REGAN- We needed to take a bold move in order to restore our economy in 1980. Excessive taxation was one of the major causes of the struggles America was facing. I wanted to encourage new and big investing...

...3rd State of the Nation Address President Aquino delivered his third annual report to the nation, telling his “bosses” the people that significant changes have been achieved “because in unity nothing is impossible.” In his State of the Nation Address (SONA), delivered in Filipino and which lasted for about one-and-a-half hours, the President also assured the people that the fight against corruption would ensure fair justice and prove that “there are no poor where there are no corrupt in government.” He said the people should not just “forgive and forget” as he recited a list of gains achieved by his administration because of proper allocation of resources. Aquino, who won on a platform of people power and volunteerism in 2010, also took the opportunity to rouse the people from apathy and make them participate more actively in improving their lives. “I stand before you today as the face of a government that knows you as its boss and draws its strength from you. I am only here to narrate the changes that you yourselves have made possible,” he said. “I repeat: what was once thought impossible is now possible. I stand before you today and tell you: This is not my SONA. You made this happen. This is the SONA of the Filipino nation,” he said. The President had been saying he is bent on making growth inclusive – meaning to make every Filipino feel the effects of economic developments brought about by better governance. His campaign two years ago was anchored on this platform...
