...and the Assignment Questions: In early fall, Kim Fuller was employed as a district sales engineer for a large chemical firm. During a routine discussion with plant chemists, She learned that the company had developed a use for the recycled material, in pulverized form, made from plastic soda pop bottles. Because the state had mandatory deposits on all beverage bottles, Ms. Fuller realized that a ready supply of this material was available. All that was needed was an organization to tap that bottle supply, grind the bottles, and deliver the pulverized plastic to the chemical company. It was an opportunity Ms. Fuller had long awaited—a chance to start a business. In November, she began checking into the costs involved in setting up a plastic bottle grinding business. She acquired a used truck and three trailers to pick up the empty bottles. She purchased one used grinding machine but had to buy a second one new. She also purchased supplies and parts necessary to run and maintain the machines. Finally, she purchased a personal computer with the intention of using it to keep company records. These items used $65,000 of the $75,000 Ms. Fuller had saved and invested in the company. She found a warehouse costing $162,000 in an excellent location for the business, and was able to interest family members enough in this project that three of them, two sisters and a brother, invested $30,000 each. These funds gave Ms. Fuller the $50,000 down payment on the warehouse....

...In this short essay I define an experientially-based concept of God that can be shown to exist. I hope that others will find this idea as powerful and rewarding as I do. First, we will specify the domain or scope of the concept of Universe. R. Buckminster Fuller wrote a definition of Universe (Synergetics, Macmillan Publishing Co., 1975, p.81) that adequately delimits our problem-solving space: Universe is the aggregate of all humanity's consciously apprehended and communicated nonsimultaneous and only partially overlapping experiences. Aggregate means sum-totally but nonunitarily conceptual as of any one moment. Consciousness means an awareness of otherness. Apprehension means information furnished by those wave frequencies tunable within man's limited sensorial spectrum. Communicated means informing self or others. Nonsimultaneous means not occurring at the same time. Overlapping is used because every event has duration, and their initiatings and terminatings are most often of different duration. Neither the set of all experiences nor the set of all the words used to describe them are instantly reviewable nor are they of the same length. Experiences are either involuntary (subjective) or voluntary (objective), and all experiences, both physical and metaphysical, are finite because each begins and ends. With this background I now present my current working definition of God. God is the loving, superhuman, nonanthropomorphic, intellectual integrity operative...

...“Take up the White Man's burden— / Ye dare not stoop to less—/ Nor call too loud on Freedom / To cloak your weariness. / By all ye will or whisper, / By all ye leave or do, / The silent sullen peoples/ Shall weigh your God and you.” reads Ruyard Kipling’s poem, “The White Man’s Burden.” Rudyard Kipling, who was a well-known author around the turn of the century. He was a prestigious college graduate who had won many awards, including the Nobel Prize for writing. This tells us, the readers, that he is a very credible writer. Now, academically, there is much discourse and disagreement in regards to weather the poem is satirical. Many scholars believe that Kipling’s sentiment expressed about Imperialism as genuine, especially considering some of his other work. However, some do believe the poem is satire, and that Kipling is mocking the concept of “The White Man’s Burden.” Regardless of whether or not the poem is satirical, and while disregarding that the poem is directly about the Philippine-American War, “The White Man’s Burden” still shows what pro-Imperialists believed. “The White Man’s Burden” shows modern readers the thought process that lead many Western forces to go to lands they had never been before and systematically destroy a people’s way of life....

...The greatest and obligated duty to the children is to love them, secondly, it is to teach them according to Richelle E. Goodrich. The meaning behind this is that children should not only be loved, but that teaching them important life lessons are just as vital. This can be seen in Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" poem. "If" is about being who you are without the thought of someone else's opinion in the form of a conversation with his son. Another poem that relates to this theme is Langston Hughes' "Mother to Son" poem which shows a discussion between a mother and her son about never giving up just because life can grow problematic. The significance of the two poems is that both authors display some sort tougher affection by teaching meaningful life lessons with a simple heart-to-heart talk. In Kipling's "If", the author is teaching his son influential values and etiquettes if he wants to be more like a man. Not just stereotypical jobs but more general ideas like, "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you." Meaning that just cause others are against, people should never doubt oneself or "give way to hating" because it is a mistake if people mold oneself around others' views. This is the father's advice to his son. Hughes has a similar outlook in her poem. "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes has a strong resemblance to Kipling's "If" with its themes that harmonize with each other. The difference being that "Mother to Son" is more about overcoming...

...Kipling’s use of syntax and tone reveals a sympathetic and considerate approach to interracial relationships as a means of discarding imperialistic dogmatism. The majority of the story occurs within Holden and Ameera’s home in which Kipling employs poetic and romantic diction which lends itself to “sense of artificiality [that] often surfaces whenever they speak of the eternality of their love and the permanence of their happiness” (Dillingham 68). However, this artificiality is not a genuine flaw in the work, but indicative of the artificiality, or rather, unsustainability of Holden and Ameera’s relationship. Holden deviates from any imperialistic language within the house and speaks poetically: “‘I have seen fire-balloons by the hundred. I have seen the moon, and – then I saw no more fire-balloons’” (WBOC 1728). The absence of legalistic language suggests a childlike ignorance of the outside world. This ignorance, however, is a conscious rejection. The reality is, Holden is a man employed by the empire and knows “the drawbacks of a double life are manifold” (1729). He chooses to live the double life because he is implicated within the empire but finds more joy in his relationship: “she was all but all the world in his eyes. By every rule and law she should have been otherwise” (1728). Therefore, Kipling established Holden as knowing what he is doing, but doing otherwise as a means of finding happiness. This is indicative of the complexity nostalgia brings to the work. Just...

...Dying To Be Thin 47% of young girls reported that they wanted to lose weight because of pictures in magazines that they saw. Movies, magazines, and the media all contribute to girls not being comfortable in their bodies because of airbrushing the models or making the actors excessively workout or diet to get to a specific size. Famous people are supposed to be role models to teen girls, but the way the famous people are portrayed actually makes young girls not love their bodies and themselves. As girls reach a certain age, they begin to look at their bodies differently and want to see a change. These girls will try anything like dieting, diet pills, or even starving themselves to see this change, but the emotional and physical effects are never thought of when trying to lose weight a certain way. Average sized people should be portrayed more in the media because of the medias impact on body image perception of young women. Anorexia is a disease that involves unusual eating habits and self-starvation. The people who are affected are mostly young women, but people of either gender can become anorexic at any age.

...Case Study #2: Habitat for Humanity Stephanie Eyler Organizational Behavior March 14, 2013 Out of the many non-profit organizations that are dedicated to helping others, there is one that is recognized as a leader in providing housing for those that would otherwise not have the opportunity for home ownership. With five area offices around the world, Habitat for Humanity is a leader in battling poverty housing. Since being founded in 1976, it has helped to build or repair over 600,000 homes, sheltering more than 3 million people worldwide on five continents and in 3,000 communities. Habitat for Humanity’s vision is to help “build a world where everyone has a decent place to live. “ Built on Christian beliefs, Habitat’s mission statement reflects these beliefs as the organization “seeks to put God’s love into action, by bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.” However, Habitat does not discriminate against other religions, nor do they discriminate based on race, gender, color or sexual orientation. The organization sends a message of hope to the more than 2 billion people worldwide who live in slum housing, with more than 100 million being homeless, that they can and deserve to live in a decent, healthy and energy efficient home. In order to make this hope a reality, Habitat uses a volunteer workforce and donated materials to make these homes happen. Under the supervision of a trained and experienced leader on site, volunteers are assigned...

...R. Buckminster Fuller was born on July 12, 1895 in Milton Massachusetts. He was known to most as a designer, architect, poet, educator, engineer, philosopher, and environmentalist. He believed that many of the world’s problems were due to hunger and homelessness, so he spent his life solving these issues through inexpensive and efficient design. Recognizing the inefficiency of the automobile, Bucky spent the late twenties designing a car that would incorporate the engineering advances of the airplane. In 1933, he presented the first prototype of the Dymaxion car. The Dymaxion car could hold twelve passengers, go 120 miles per hour and used half the gas of the standard car, utilizing aerodynamics construction and only three wheels. Another one of his projects was the 4D tower, a lightweight, prefabricated, multi-storey apartment tower to be delivered anywhere in the world by airship. Once delivered the towers would generate their own light and heat with an independent sewage disposal system. The project that made Fuller’s name was the 1929 Dymaxion House, which he unveiled in the interior decorating department of the Chicago department store, Marshall-Field. The name Dymaxion was coined by the marketer Waldo Warren who, after listening to Fuller talk for two days, devised endless combinations of syllables taken from his highly idiosyncratic vocabulary. Finally he found the word which seemed to him best to dramatize Fuller’s personality. Made from lightweight steel, duraluminium...
