...ENG 101 Final Exam Yes your vote does count Why Americans (or young people) be more involved in politics? Our forefathers were beaten and mistreated and fought for us to have the right to vote. We should take the time to get involved and go out exercise our right to vote. Not just Americans should go out to vote, but especially women and Blacks. Our future depends on what is going on in politics. Therefore we should be involved in America the land that we love. Our forefathers fought for us to have the right to vote. Think back to your grandfather and great grandfathers and grandmothers what they went through in order to have the right to vote. My grandmother told me that she had to take a test to be able to vote, and so did Rosa Parks. This was not fair to our people but they had to endure it. Selma to Montgomery march made history for us as a people. They were hosed down with water and dogs let loose on them. Our foreparents were proud and wanted to be treated equally and fairly. The color of someone’s skin should not dictate the way that they should be treated. The Bible teaches us to love our neighbor as ourselves. We as American people should care enough about our country to get out and exercise our right to vote. We have earned the right to vote and we should utilize our rights as American citizens. If we don’t get out and vote then when things are not going right don’t complain, because you forfeited your right to vote. When you didn’t go to the...

...Health Care Reform Tina N. Hatton October 25, 2010 HCA 497: Health Care Studies Capstone Lori Bednarchik Reform 1 Introduction The Health Care Reform is said to be one of the most important pieces of legislation today. The Health Reform website says that health care reform will be the answer to uninsured Americans (www. Healthreform.gov). This paper will evaluate three issues involved in the collaboration of health care reform, the committee involved, and will explain teamwork and how it will contribute in efforts towards health care reform. Three Issues The three issues facing health care reform are accessibility, affordability, and sustainability (Shortell, 2009). The first challenge of health care reform is accessibility. Accessibility simply meant that insurers would have to expand insurance coverage to all Americans. This meant eliminating pre-existing conditions that prevented people from gaining insurance coverage, insuring portability across states, mandating the purchase of insurance coverage, standardizing claims to reduce paperwork and providing benefit and cost information to the American people allowing them an opportunity to choose a plan that best fit their needs (Shortell, 2009). The second issue is affordability. Affordability has left uninsured and low-income families helpless due to high premiums. The public option...

...(1959) and other modern resource-based approaches (Teece et al., 1997). Furthermore, unrelated diversification can be beneficial. This study also offers suggestions to measure the three pillars; its contributions and implications are discussed as well. INTRODUCTION The questions of how and why an organization diversifies into related and unrelated businesses have been a central focus of strategy research (Palich et al., 2000; Rumelt, 1974; Teece, 1982). These diversifications have been defined by the degree to which an organization’s products and services draw from a common pool of resources (Chatterjee and Wernerfelt, 1991; Montgomery and Wernerfelt, 1988; Teece, 1982). In particular, a rich volume of research has found related diversification to be the dominant mode of organizational expansion and superior in performance to unrelated diversification (Montgomery and Wernerfelt, 1988; Palich et...

The case study begins here in Chapter 1 and continues throughout the rest of the book. It requires you to complete tasks that are related to topics covered in each corresponding chapter of the text. The end of each chapter contains the case narrative, related figures, and a set of questions and problems. These do not have one unique solution. There are too many alternatives when dealing with LANs, WANs, MANs, BNs, and the Internet, so a reallife network design and development problem can have several workable answers. As with any real-life problem with ambiguities or unresolved considerations, you must make your own assumptions. Feel free to read ahead or use the index to find related subjects that support your recommendations. Your instructor may provide additional guidelines regarding report formats, Web and library resources, key assumptions, and the like for the various questions and problems presented in this case study. Be sure to provide adequate justification for any recommendations you make. (NDAS) was founded in 1985 to compete in the expanding market for overnight package deliveries. NDAS provides local pickup and delivery of these parcels and other small freight items. The founders initially restricted their efforts to the rapidly growing central Florida region. To support...

...Leadership Paper By Antwion Demps I have chosen the ultimate leader to cover on my leader ship paper Dr. Martin Luther King JR. Dr. King was an American Baptist minister, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs. Dr. King also had the quintessential leadership traits of undeterred focus and commitment. His goal was the next substantial effort undertaken after President Abraham Lincoln’s two momentous achievements – the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and ensuring the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1865 – toward making the phrase “all men are created equal,” as declared by Thomas Jefferson in the U.S. Declaration of Independence in 1776 true, not just in words, but in fact. No matter what Dr. King had to endure personally, including prison, overt hatred, ominous threats, and ultimately, untimely death by assassination on April 4, 1968 at the hands of James Earl Ray at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, or what he and the civil rights movement collectively endured, including the deadly bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963, the deadly and strong backlash of the resurgent Ku Klux Klan, and overt local and state-sanctioned law enforcement brutality, Dr. King never wavered in focus or commitment to making racial equality a reality. He didn’t...

...How does lack of managerial communication effect worker’s productivity Brian Sadowski Dr. Sami Khan Management and Research Foundations (MGMT 500) 6 December 2015 Abstract Managerial communication does not restrict itself to corporate presentations, meetings, conferences, and media relations, official correspondences like business letters, memos, proposals and reports. This is quite obvious from the fact that today we have “ hi-tech” communication like intranet, internet, teleconferencing, video-conferencing, net meeting, etc. as part and parcel of our professional communicative life. But, communication is not always formal. In fact, informal communication is far more active in the work place than formal communication. With the lack of communication it can affect the performance of employees because of lack of direction, policy or instructions. Having the proper managerial interaction can increase the employee’s performance and ultimately meet the organizational strategic goals. Introduction Employees spend on average between 25% to 70% in face-to-face conversations with other employees or clients, and about 88% to 93% dealing with unscheduled communication with others within departments (Dasgupta, 2014). This heightens the level of informal communication employees have within the organization. Communication of this nature is sometimes supported by opportunity, and sometimes impulsiveness. On one hand, it augments...

...Legislation on Cost Containment Eugenia T. Tubbs Dr. Nick Coppola To: Wayne Johnson, State House Rep and Shadrack McGill, State Senate Rep From: Eugenia Tubbs, Walden University Student Date: May 11, 2014 Subject: Legislation on Cost Containment How can the federal government lessen the disagreements among politicians regarding how Medicare should be governed, protect it, and come up with a feasible solution for cost containment? Here in Alabama, there has been close to 98,000 people sign up for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (arisecitizens.org). This shows that there is a need for healthcare coverage within this state. However, with this increase in people inundating the system, there could be a possible rise in cost. Specifically, there could be a rise in Medicare. This program was signed into law on July 30, 1965 (SSA.gov). It is designed to take care of the elderly at 65 years and older, certain individuals who are disabled, and people who have kidney disease (CMS.gov). Even though this program is not income specific, it does help more low income people and individuals who have bad health issues and it is also a target for political battles (Tietelbaum & Wilensky, 2014).There are Republicans who are opposed to Obamacare and want to run Medicare their way. Then there are Democrats who want the program ran another way. They are in favor of Obamacare and see a positive outcome now and in the future. As for the public, the divide among politicians is equally the...

...bankrupt giants such as WorldCom and Enron. Lehman was the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank at the time of its collapse, with 25,000 employees worldwide. Lehman's demise also made it the largest victim, of the U.S. subprime mortgage-induced financial crisis that swept through global financial markets in 2008. Lehman's collapse was a seminal event that greatly intensified the 2008 crisis and contributed to the erosion of close to $10 trillion in market capitalization from global equity markets in October 2008, the biggest monthly decline on record at the time. The History of Lehman Brothers Lehman Brothers had humble origins, tracing its roots back to a small general store that was founded by German immigrant Henry Lehman in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1844. In 1850, Henry Lehman and his brothers, Emanuel and Mayer, founded Lehman Brothers. While the firm prospered over the following decades as the U.S. economy grew into an international powerhouse, Lehman had to contend with plenty of challenges over the years. Lehman survived them all – the railroad bankruptcies of the 1800s, the Great Depression of the 1930s, two world wars, a capital shortage when American Express spun it off in 1994, and the Long Term Capital Management collapse and Russian debt default of 1998. However, despite its ability to survive past disasters, the collapse of the U.S. housing market ultimately brought Lehman Brothers to its knees, as its headlong rush into the subprime mortgage market proved...

...The United Nations and Their Current Role in International Law Our stability as a western nation is often taken for granted as we have become accustom to freedoms. Unfortunately these freedoms are not prevalent in all areas of the world. The United Nations strives to bridge the gap between developed and developing nations as each strives to create a more peaceful and prosperous world. The concept of the United Nations if not the first of our time, the League of Nations was created post World War One to try and prevent another catastrophic conflict. As we all know the League failed and the ensuing massacre of World War Two warranted a stronger and more comprehensive intergovernmental organization. This would lead to the creation of the United Nations. Though the UN has stood the test of time it does have its critics who question the effectiveness of the organizations ability to respond swiftly or appropriately to global crises. From the perspective of international law the United Nations works to create new laws and agreements in counties addressing issues in a global context; i.e. terrorism, nuclear weapons, boarder disputes etc. The UN also facilitates the International Court of Justice which aims to solve disputes between nations. The International Criminal court is another international court system that aims to hold individuals who commit war crimes or other significant international crimes responsible for their actions. The United Nations, International Court...

...[pic] 1. INTRODUCTION In 1967, Ford’s UK and its European operations united to form Ford Europe, to give a strong regional identification. Over the following two decades Ford Europe performed well and in the 1980’s, its profitability helped sustain losses being sustained in the US market. After this Ford Europe began to struggle from 1992-2000 where losses had accumulated to $2.6 milliard. (Donnelly& Morris, 2003) In 1992, Ford Europe had been "slaughtered" by recent wild currency fluctuations that had torpedoed consumer demand in key markets such as Britain, Spain and Italy. The strength of Germany's mark had made Ford's products, even more expensive in those countries. (New York Times, 1992) Furthermore, by the mid -1990s, the European car market was in a state of virtual saturation with an annual growth rate of only 2 percent. Matters were made worse by heavy competition from both the Japanese imports as well as from vehicles produced in Japanese transplant factories within Europe as they focused on niche and hybrid models. Ford’s own specific difficulties were deep rooted and could be traced back to poor model development, excess capacity, failure in recognizing new market segments and inefficient cost control. As such recovery was slow and it was not until the late 1990s that Ford was again able to reach and surpass the level it had first hit 10 years previously. (Donnelly& Morris, 2003) ...

...advancement of the Civil Rights in the period 1865-1980? “Power concedes nothing without demand, it never has and it never will”[1]. Said by Fredrick Douglass in 1857, an escaped slave who had bearded the brunt of the slave years. He had come to the realisation that African Americans had a fountain of “power”; however that power that they possessed would never establish anything without a “demand”. Fredrick Douglass awoke the conscious of African Americans to make them realise that wanting to be free and wanting to achieve full civil rights was not enough, neither was enduring a life under white supremacy waiting for life after death to see a new dawn .Believing and hoping was not enough. “Power concedes nothing without demand” the solution is to be willing to work hard to establish it yourself by demanding what belongs to them. However using power in order to concede civil rights was a struggle which was acknowledged by Fredrick Douglass “Without struggle there is no success”. To achieve advancement in African American Civil Rights, African Americans had to undergo a process of struggle. A rainbow is not made without rain; you can not want rain without thunder and lightening being accompanied by it. To achieve full civil rights African Americans had to pay the price along the way which was persecution, de-humanisation and scrutiny. Martin Luther King being inspired by Fredrick Douglass said “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor it must be demanded by the oppressed”...
