...ability of people to get that which they desire. In the context of politics; power concerns all social activities at each level of society. In a sense; politics is power i.e. “The ability to achieve a desired outcome, through whatever means” (Haywood, 2002). Politics can be seen as the fight for scarce resources, and the power lies in the ability to conduct and control this struggle. However power must not be confused with “force”, a much narrower concept, as this is “linked to the concept of domination, which, indeed is only a small part of the general nature of power”(Boulding, 1990). In this essay I am going to discuss some of the different definitions and aspects of power, referring mainly to the “Faces” of power, and giving examples of my observations of different types of power being exercised in the world today. The idea of power is key to the understanding of politics for “... if politics is the resolution of conflict, the distribution for power within the political community determines how the conflict is to be resolved…”(Ball & Peters, 2005). However this distribution of power is uneven in any political system in the modern world. The richer, upper classes possess far more power than the poorer lower classes. They have the ability to control their own quantity of...

...should be paid. Some people, like author, Kristi Dosh, believe that a scholarship should be payment enough (Dosh 52). After all, a scholarship can be easily worth $15,000 - $25,000 or more per year, plus a career after college that can be worth a million dollars over a lifetime. Additionally, student athletes receive all kinds of perks while they are in college, like staying at fancy hotels, being seen on national television, and all of the notoriety that goes with being an athlete. It is hard to put a price tag on all of that. However, considering the fact that certain college sports generate millions of dollars for college athletic programs, many people believe the athletes are being used. If the average football scholarship is worth $20,000 per year, yet the university gains $70,000 per year in revenue per scholarship player, the university will profit $50,000 per year, per scholarship player, or $200,000 over a four year period (Spurrier, 12). The NCAA should establish a rule that gives every college athlete a $1,000 monthly allowance, because college athletes cannot use their scholarships to pay for their many expenses. A story that was told in one of Dr. John Acquaviva’s articles was about a certain player named Roy Finch that spoke out on the topic of college athletes receiving payment. Roy Finch sent out a tweet that said, “I'm tired of thinking it’s time for action....I need to get paid trying to get my money up. School faking on the money so I gotta go get it...." A few...

...“ College athletes are already being paid with an athletic scholarship that is worth between $20-$50,000 per year.” (The Rise of The Fab FIve). This statement is not very accurate as most colleges split up scholarship money and some players don't receive scholarships. Most athletes that are given scholarships only play for 2 years so the scholarship does not pay for their whole school and they don't get the remaining money when they leave. Then when they leave the remaining scholarship money just goes away. Scholarship doesn't do much and they should be paid another way. Most athletes that receive a scholarship end up leaving for the big leagues after two years, this leaves the scholarship money behind and the students not on scholarships are left to pay for everything. They should be paid to help their living so that they can live normal lives and not lives like second- class students. If they were paid then they could still maintain a life after college. Sense they are not being paid they come out of college and have nothing to their name, no job, no money, and no house. This could all be prevented if the athletes were to be paid while...

The Art Institutes prepares creative students for careers including design, media, fashion and culinary programs. There are just over 45 Art Institutes schools located in major cities across North America, and have over 125,000 graduates. The target market for The Art Institutes is creative individuals between the ages of 18 – 35, both male and female. Our target audience considers himself or herself quite creative and thrives in creative environments. The learning strategy of our students revolves around an idea of doing.

...College Athletes and Compensation Professor Adam Lawrence Strayer University June 9, 2013 PART I: PROBLEM The goal of this paper is to focus on evidence that college athletes, specifically, football players should be compensated for the talents they demonstrate on the field; for many reasons. It is well documented that college presidents, coaches, athletic directors often think of athletics as the “front porch” of their campuses (Weaver, 2011), as it relates to college revenues. Weaver further maintains that college athletes, especially football players, are needed to generate the revenues to build both and support a winning football team, and athletics department. And historically colleges rely on ticket sales, game programs, and advertising revenues, to do so. Additionally, coaches’ salary and facility renovations also are factor in terms of colleges and universities needing to generate revenues as well. But before the former can be brought to fruition colleges must first persuade the most talented athletes to their school. What criteria do colleges and universities utilize when recruiting athletes with regard to talent, academics, finances, and student population? Additionally, what perks are colleges and universities offering these athletes to entice them at a minimum to the said front porch? Let’s start by first exploring how colleges and universities generate revenues. First, warning sign (problem) is that billions in annual revenues generated by colleges, universities...

...digression, please remember my name, because ten years after when you search it by google, you would catch the president of JAVAN fashion group, or unluckily, you may just find the owner of an online clothing store – JAVAN. In the following, there is not any word ‘career’ used because it does not meet my dream’ satisfaction. Instead, ‘business’ is the one which will be used for the spirit of my essay. It is impossible for a student like me has a dream of starting a business. Once I still was a hyperactive little kid, my father had a hope that I would study well, enter an notorious university, study professional in my fields and become an specialist in such fields, which means I strictly gain a good jobs with high salary in the future. My elder brother is now a customer relationship expert of one of the biggest joint stock banks of Vietnam, and he had ever been the second admirable person of my life preceded by my father. The word ‘business’ would have never had chance to emerge in my mind when it was overwhelmed by my father’s ideas till a day when I am stunned by a huge of startup from my friends. Such event likes pouring an ice water bucket into my head and force me to revolutionize my thought. More surprisingly, the initial step of my business blueprint is establishment of clothing store named JAVAN which is incopporated by both name of mine and my girlfriend the co – founder of our business. When my father heard about the word ‘business’ and ‘my clothing shop’, he was angry...

...The Power of the NCAA Abstract The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a very powerful entity. The NCAA men’s basketball tournament receives more advertising dollars and has higher ratings then the Super Bowl and the World Series. This paper discusses various other papers all dealing with different aspects of this NCAA entity and the cultural, economic and social impact the NCAA has on the modern education system. These topics include an analysis of NCAA tournament broadcasts and the influence the TV industry has on what people view, the impact of facilities to recruit high quality athletes, as well as a cost-benefit analysis of university’s scholarship system. These issues, among others, affect every college student, not just student-athletes as well as tax-payers, professors and alumni. The Power of the NCAA As a father of a high school student-athlete that is being recruited by Division I universities I felt the need to research the process and the entities involved at a deeper level. The five articles I chose helped me understand the recruitment process and the logic behind it as well as the influence the athletic departments have over every school. Division I athletic departments are either the largest or second largest buildings on each campus as far as operations (Southall et al.). One major concern with the amount of influence the NCAA has in the community is that after their big national tournament in 2006, a representative...

...[pic] 1) introducing 2) fast food Life of the people all around the world is so much busy that they do not even get time to eat food properly. This gave birth to a new sector called the fast food sector. With the efficient service, low prices and casual atmosphere, fast food seems like the ideal "all-American" choice. Since the evolution of fast food restaurants, the value of the all American meal has been transformed by many means. Not only have fast food restaurants altered people's eating habits, but they have also revolutionized the way people live and society. Americans now spend more money on fast food than they do on higher education, personal computers, software or new cars. They spend more on fast food than on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos and recorded music Over the years a lot of food chains have entered the business. 3)mcdonalds: short discription According to this Google map, there are close to 50,000 fast food chains across the United States.

...permeate all areas of the organization (Webster, 2005). Marketing managers within an organization transfer marketing into other functional areas with little training in marketing ((Bartels 1974, 1983; Hunt 1976, 2002). Marketing is an organization function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders (Gregory T. Gundlach, 2004). Marketing is a way an organization advertises their product to the community. Organizations would not have a great business without marketing their product; this would include advertising the product, what it does, and how it can work for you. Marketing department makes the product look good so individuals will want to purchase the items for their business. My personal definition of marketing is developing a product and plans a strategy that allows you access to the public, and corporation that needs your product. Items that an organization sells will have different marketing strategies. Some may need a certain item and others may need something totally different tone. This helps make the buyer more interested in buying your product. Marketing you have to identify yourself with you product, always keep in mind of the customers when you decide on your product you are marketing. Ask yourself what will it do for the buyer, how to handle problems...

...Christian Leadership Program Application For most of my time in high school, my parents and teachers told me that college was the time to “take my faith into my own hands”. Rather than let my faith take become overshadowed by life in college, I intend to nurture and explore my faith. This is part of the reason for which I am applying to the Christian Leadership Program. I believe that being a part of this program will help me to keep my Catholic faith at the center of my life. It will also allow me to use the gifts I have been given to make a difference in the lives of my peers and in the community. I understand that the program will be a challenging one, but I believe it will be well worth it. My background is most likely very similar to that of many of the other applicants for this scholarship. I am a born-and-raised Catholic from a strong family background. I attended a Catholic school from kindergarten all the way through senior year of high school. However, I believe I stand out as an applicant because of my level of involvement, and dedication to excellence as well as service....
