...English 102-26 Community Analysis Essay RD The Myth of Single Mothers We propose changes, transformations, evolutions and revolutions and yet neglect to realize our own mistakes, where we should start and therefore find the proper ways to make these changes come true. In today’s world there are a large number of women who have decided to take on motherhood without the support of their partner either because they have taken that decision for themselves or they had no other option. Whatever the case is, now when we see single mothers taking care of their children, we should see them as women worthy of admiration and not make them feel as they have failed or like they should feel ashamed of their situation. Furthermore, the journey of raising a child alone is synonymous of courage, sacrifice, love, and lots of effort when there is not parental or child support from the father of the child. However, and without actually replacing the father figure of the child, the family of the single woman is for her and her child a unique and fundamental support for both (mother / child) that will make them feel somehow protected and in turn help the child to feel that he belongs and is a member of a family unit . First of all, when I referred to the life of single mothers as a myth what I mean is those ideas that we do ourselves or society makes it soak into our minds in the form of mainly negative thoughts created by those who wrongly criticize women's decision...

...Ecosystem Structure, Function, and Change SCI/256 October 30, 2013 Edward Chargualaf Ecosystem Structure, Function, and Change In San Diego, California there is a beach area known as “The Jewel” or La Jolla. The children’s pool, La Jolla shores, and La Jolla cove make up this mile long crescent of a prime sandy beach.

...In David La Vera’s (2007) book Looting Spiro Mounds: An American King Tut’s Tomb he discusses the history of Spiro mounds in both ancient and modern times. Throughout his analysis of Spiro’s history La Vera describes the culture of Spiro’s ancient inhabitants, and the cultural clash that began at Spiro between professional archaeologists and grave robbers- or “pot hunters” as they were fondly called. Through these description La Vera is able to show how culture affects the relationships that are formed in and between groups and how it almost lead to the near complete destruction of Spiro mounds, still considered to be one of the greatest archaeological tragedies in America’s history to date. Due to this travesty Looting Spiro Mounds shows...

... LICENCIATURA EN LA ENSEÑANZA DEL INGLÉS LIN-08 INVESTIGACIÓN EDUCATIVA “LA VACA” WRITTEN REPORT BY Daython Winston I - 2016 The book “La vaca” is definitely one of the best stories for self-development and personal growth. It is a story to get rid of mediocrity, false beliefs, delusion, excuses and even procrastination. “Vacas” are defined as anything that is related to negative thinking that we create for ourselves, to justify or excuse our own incapacity to keep moving forward. “La vaca simboliza todo aquello que te mantiene atado a la mediocridad. Una vaca puede ser una excusa. Una vaca también puede ser un pensamiento irracional que te paraliza y no te deja actuar.” (Cruz, 2003, p. 8) Under these circumstances, this story may not only be suitable for a specific person, but rather everyone who is willing to take the first step to move away from his or her comfort zone. In fact, this is one of the most difficult decisions. People usually feel very peaceful in their comfort zone. Many of them even does not consider it a problem at all, and this makes one of the biggest “vaca” in any area of a person`s life. “Muchas personas no son conscientes de las vacas que tienen; otras son conscientes de ellas, pero, igual, las siguen cuidando y alimentando, ¿por qué? Por una sencilla razón, porque las vacas nos proveen una zona de comfort, una excusa.” (Cruz, 2003, p. 12) Most of these type of people are always afraid of change. They usually do...

...Paper 1 Christopher Columbus andartolomé De Las Casas were both two men who B have left legacies that are admired, criticized, idolized, rationalized and despised by adventuring out to find the three motivators that have lead to the foundings of what we call America. Christopher Columbus and Bartolomé De Las Casas both set out with the three motives: God, Glory and Gold. God, Glory and Gold also known as the three G’s are labeled as the roots of the age of discovery during the midfifteenth century and ending in the midseventeenth century. Of the three motives each had a higher priority for each one and their priority of each motive led to different ways of exploration and conquering. While both Christopher Columbus and Bartolomé De Las Casas had similarities that we can compare, Christopher Columbus set out in his voyage with a craving appetite for Gold. On the other hand Bartolomé De Las Casas had other ambitions. Bartolomé De Las Casas set out with the ambition of converting the Indians to Christianity which supports that De Las Casas prioritized God over Glory and Gold. Even though both Columbus and De Las Casas were both on similar missions their desires differed when looking at the three G’s and their place in the discoveries with Columbus and the settling in the new colonies with De Las Casas. Christopher Columbus born in 14511506 was a sailor who was heavily influenced by the 13th Century voyages of Marco Polo...

...sparked several changes in America, one being industrialization, which hit its peak during the Progressive Era. This boom in industrialization was demonstrated by tycoons such as Andrew Carnegie and Cornelius Vanderbilt. These individuals introduced large companies that essentially changed life as it once was. The Progressive Movement, which took place during the same time period, consisted of key reformers who strived to repair American society which became corrupt following the recent flare of industrialization. Political corruption was a consequential issue during the Gilded Age that was addressed by two key reformers, Lincoln Steffen and Robert La Follette.

...For Gilbert La Crosse, there is nothing quite as beautiful as a handcrafted wood-framed window. La Crosse’s passion for windows goes back to his youth in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he learned from an elderly carpenter how to make residential windows. He learned about the characteristics of good wood, the best tools to use, and how to choose the best glass from local suppliers. La Crosse apprenticed with the carpenter in his small workshop, and when the carpenter retired, he was given the opportunity to operate the business himself. La Crosse hired his own apprentice as he built up business in the local area. His small operation soon expanded as the quality of windows built by La Crosse Industries Inc. became better known. Within eight years the company employed nearly 25 people, and the business had moved to larger facilities to accommodate the increased demand from Wisconsin. In these early years La Crosse spent most of his time in the production shop, teaching new apprentices the unique skills that he had mastered and applauding the workers for their accomplishments. He would constantly rep eat the point that La Crosse products had to be of the highest quality because they gave families a “window on life.” After 15 years La Crosse Industries employed over 200 people. A profit-sharing program was introduced to give employees a financial reward for their contribution to the organization’s success. Due to the company’s expansion, headquarters had to be moved to...

...Externo Invitado: Ph D Kenneth Massey CONTENIDOS DE LA PROPUESTA MAPAS DE GESTION VISIONARIA Y PRAGAMATICA EN ORGANIZACIONES 1. Resumen de la propuesta: Todas las organizaciones intentan planear para el corto y largo plazo y ser consecuentes en las acciones que toman para asegurar los intereses de la organización para hoy y para mañana. A fines de los años 90, Bud Vieira, en el marco de su participación en la empresa consultora Internacional BDA (Business Design Associates) publicó un Documento de Trabajo denominado “Cultivating the Visionary Enterprise”, que fue utilizado por esta empresa en Telefónica CTC Chile con el nombre en español de “Mapa de Dos Horizontes” y que esta incorporado como Anexo a esta presentación. Vieira señala en él que hay diferencias cualitativas entre pensar y actuar frente a las demandas pragmáticas del presente y anticipar el horizonte visionario de mañana. Es decir “el mañana” a largo plazo es cualitativamente diferente que “el mañana” a corto plazo. El mapa muestra el carácter revolucionario de mover a la organización de un espacio a otro y porque al no entender el carácter revolucionario de pasar de un horizonte a otro puede atraparla en un presente continuo con un futuro ilusorio. Prepararse para el largo plazo es un acto cualitativamente diferente que prepararse uno para el futuro a corto plazo, una distinción no generalmente tomada en cuenta en la literatura de planificación.

...culture can change how one looks at friendship. The simplest way to define friendship would be as a relationship between two people who consider themselves “friends”. This essay will also consider the advantages, disadvantages, similarities and differences between two studies that used the content analysis approach and the ethnographic approach. When looking at both bigelow & la gaipa (1975) and william corsaro's (2006) studies I will also look at how there work as influenced future studies in this area of research and what criticism's have been made of there research. When looking firstly at the content analysis approach that bigelow & la gaipa took,to that of corsaro and the ethnographic method there is at first stark similarity,both bigelow & la gaipa and corsaro's studies were looking at what a child's understanding of friendship was. However after the inital comparison the aims are actually quite different,as bigelow & la gaipa's aim was to investigate children's understanding of friendship,in contrast to william corsaro who investigated children's individual understanding of the word “friend” he was interested in how children talked to each other. Basically the main difference is where corsaro explored the term “friend” and how children used the word. Bigelow & la gaipa wanted to know about actual relationship between children. For example william carsaro looked for interactions and communication between children in there own setting,whereas bigelow & la gaipa looked...
