...As I began writing my Definition paper, I had three major problems: placing my thesis, avoiding grammatical errors, and finding the origin of my word. I struggled with having just one thesis. I had two or more sentences that could have been interpreted as my thesis. In this paper, I only had two major grammatical problems: comma splices, and topic sentences. My final problem was finding the origin of my word. The word love has several different origins. I struggled with finding the correct one. When writing a paper, you should always have a thesis. It should be one strong sentence which explains what you are going to discuss in your paper. The details that you discuss in your three body paragraphs should always relate back to your thesis. When...

...My first paper was a little rocky. At first I could not settle with a topic. When I would start to write a paper I would think it was not good enough and change it to something else. I changed my paper three different times. It was just hard for me to get started and it was also hard narrowing down my topic because I felt like what I was talking about was so broad. Turns out when I finally picked my topic my paper was headed in all the wrong directions. I ended up having to change a lot of things. When I went to Professor Warfield’s office hours it did help me but I was still a little discouraged that I would never get my paper right. I am still trying to keep a positive mind frame and I am hoping for the best with my grade. Overall I learned...

...Through his character, Chris Keller, in the play All My Sons, the playwright Arthur Miller he explores the theme of accountability and responsibility of man which is as universal and relevant today as it was in the post WWII era. Chris Keller calls for corporate responsibility and the human universality of man looking out for man. As humans we have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, and problem solving, with this in mind if we are smart enough to start of businesses then we should be responsible for the effects they cause. What does it mean to say that "business" has responsibilities? Only people can have responsibilities. A corporation is an artificial person and in this sense may have artificial responsibilities, but "business" as a whole cannot be said to have responsibilities, even in this vague sense(Friedman, Milton). Joe Keller owned a small factory that manufactured many spare parts and Steve was working for him. During the war the factory manufactured cylinder heads for the Air Force planes. One day they shipped some bad parts to the Army which resulted in the crash of twenty-one planes and the death of their pilots. That was a great scandal. Both Joe and Steve were arrested and brought up to trial for that terrible crime. Joe was clever enough to get off with it. He proved to the court that he had nothing to do with the shipped those bad cylinders. Life is full of many hard decisions that people have to take, often on......

...Finding the Leader in You: Self-Assessment / Johari Window Shawnique Small Mr. James Bankston BUS 520 – Leadership and Organizational Behavior July 17, 2013 This paper will address issues of personal understanding, planning, and professional development. It will analyze a self – assessment, which will enable me to understand how intuitiveness, culture, diversity, and leadership style influence decision making. This paper will also use the Johari Window which emphasizes that we may not be aware of everything that there is to know about ourselves. Personality is defined as the overall combination of characteristics that capture the unique nature of a person as that person reacts to and interacts with others. To develop a profile of my personality characteristics, I used the Big Five Personality Dimensions. The Big 5 are defined as the following: Extraversion (outgoing, sociable, assertive), Agreeableness (good-natured, trusting, cooperative), Conscientiousness (responsible, dependable, persistent), Emotional stability (unworried, secure, relaxed), and Openness to Experience (imaginative, curious, broad-minded). According to The Big Five Personality Test (www.outofservice.com/bigfive/results), the following are my results: Openness to Experience / Intellect – I am somewhat conventional, which means that I am down to earth, I have narrow interests and that I am uncreative. Conscientiousness – I am very well organized, and......

...English 1010 has been a very interesting journey for me. Throughout my journey, I experienced frustration, stress, and long nights in the computer lab. English 1010 have not only made me a better writer, but it has also improved my creativity in my writing. My writing has improved tremendously since the first day of class. I am satisfied with the grade I earned although; I feel I could have done a lot better on to receive a higher grade. I believe my grade should be a B. According to the English 1010 syllabus I feel that my grade should be a B because I improved since my first paper, I participate in class conversations, and I have decent attendance. At the very beginning of the English 1010 Course, my writing style wasn’t too good. I noticed...

...12 December 2012 Writing Process My personal writing process is probably somewhat similar to what other students do for theirs, because we may have been taught similar ways. I have my writing process broken down into a few different parts. First, I do research and gather information if research is necessary to the paper’s topic. Then, I would start writing the introduction to the paper. Next, I do the actual writing of the paper and describe each topic in more detail. The last step is to, I revise it in case of any errors. I also revise it to make it better. Each step is important in order to make my writing good. I will discuss in depth and detail about each part of my writing process. As soon as I get the topic and know what I am to write about, I think to myself of some of the ideas that I have that could relate to this piece of writing. Often times, I come up with a story in my own life that can relate or something that I know of that can influence my paper to have more meaning, not only to the reader, but also to me. It will make writing the paper easier if you can make a connection to the topic and relate it to yourself somehow. If I don’t really have a way to connect it I just brainstorm for things or ideas that can be included or used in the piece. I make a list of things pertaining to the paper so I can go through the list easier. If it is a really detailed piece, I sometimes use the web process. If it is necessary to the paper, I will research the topic and try......

...Throughout my 8th grade writing career, I have changed a lot. I used to despise writing assignments, and I always procrastinate when I have to work at home. Now I find myself enjoying some of the writing tasks. I still think some papers are pointless, but I have started to enjoy prompts such as narrative writing. In fact, I have even started to write my own story for fun. As a writer, I’d say I use pretty good language. I can describe things well, I’m good at organization, but I can improve on all of these. I also need to work on concentrating so that I don’t have to work late. A writer always has room to grow. While one may be excellent in some parts of writing, they’re not the best at everything. For me, I’d say I’m good at descriptions,...

...When I was in eighth grade I had a huge project in my American History Class. In this project I had to write a ten page paper about the decade of my choice, come up with a question from the decade I chose, find people from the era to help me answer my question, and create a display. This was one of the hardest and most time consuming projects I had ever done. It didn’t help that I was in a lot of other tough classes and in a lot of extracurricular activities. I didn’t know how I would be able to finish it but I eventually did. I was extremely proud of the project I completed and all the work I put into it. The project began in the fall of my eighth grade year and it was due at the end of the year. This project seemed overwhelming. The teacher...

...Functions of Management Paper MGT/330-Management: Theory, Practice and Application July 4, 2010 Matthew Jordan Functions of Management Paper Management is the key to accomplishing organizational goals. With effectiveness (achievement of the goals) and efficiency (achievement of goals while utilizing resources such as money, time, materials and people without waste), it can be the difference between great management and poor management. While great managers are able to focus on both criteria, others are only capable to focus on one and not the other. Unfortunately, there are poor managers who are unsuccessful at both. These two criteria, however, are not the only components to successful management as the circumstances surrounding the process of conducting business are changing in today’s business world. “The great executives not only adapt to changing conditions but also apply-fanatically, rigorously, consistently, and with discipline-the fundamental management principles,” (Bateman & Snell, 2009). Included in these fundamentals are the four traditional functions of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. When applying these fundamentals to the process of accomplishing organizational goals, effective and efficient management is inevitable. The first function of management is planning. Specifying the goals of the organization takes place in planning as well as its necessary actions needed in achieving those goals. Activities of......

...Throughout the course of my English 102 class, there have been many attributing factors that have not only geared me toward meeting the course objectives but have challenged and strengthened my analytical and critical thinking skills. My portfolio highlights these acquired skills through two outside of class essays, which required two completely different styles of writing. Another key element that has helped to illustrate the writing process for the two essays in my portfolio was the use of reading various types of literature. This included but was not limited to, editorials, newspaper articles, books, and specific disciplines of research in course related fields. These two essays essentially reshaped my ability to write for specific audiences...
