...Many professional athletes and entertainers earn large sums of money. Do you agree or disagree with these individuals making such high salaries? I agree in my opinion because these individuals bring joy and laughter into people’s lives. Some of them have charities to help others, like the elderly and children. Some of these people are someone else's role model and give their lives meaning. Some of these athletes and entertainers have charities to help people. For example, Michael Jordan donates money to the Boys and Girls Club of America. He helps those children so they can have a better life. The entertainer Kevin Hart supports a charity called the Make a Wish Foundation, this charity helps a child’s wish actually come true....

The guidelines of the NPA and its rules provide safe parameters within which to work, as well as protect patients from unprofessional and unsafe nursing practice (“Nurse Practice Act, Rules & Regulations”, 2013).

The history of human services on the United States was in the beginning influenced by England’s social welfare during the eleventh century. By the time poor citizens were victims of slavery and discrimination from part of the wealthy class. The poor were forced to work the rich lands in order to survive, by receiving care and support in exchange from their hard work. (Martin, M. (2007) During that time, the poor were considered a necessary component of society in order for the rich to show their grace toward the less fortunate...

...Kevin Keliipio Dee Forbes AVS-127 4 October 2015 Learning Goals Response Paper: Guy R. Maher wrote an article titled, “Building the right attitude”. It is a reflection of his experience when Mr. Maher went to the Robinson Safety course, a requirement for pilots that want to become a CFI for any Robinson aircraft. Mr. Maher observed the vast majority of the group had an attitude. The attitude he is talking about is the attitude that they know more than what is being taught. But Mr. Maher went a step further, he asked himself if they act like this here, would they act like this at their profession? This got me thinking of my actions on subjects that I find, “pointless” or topics that I have extensive knowledge in. When I look back to my first week of school, I realize that in every class I enrolled in, I had that “attitude” Mr. Maher wrote about. I thought I knew it all, didn’t give a care in the world to the subject and actually asked to test out of certain classes. My view changed when I was given this assignment. I started to do research on adaptability and how students react to topics they feel will not benefit them in their profession. I found that people who neglect certain topics, generate a routine or habit that limits personal growth. Studies found that people limiting themselves to what they are interested in will neglect opportunities that will impact their chosen field of interest. Like Jim Palmer, a senior HR pilot recruiter said, “it is between...

...Campus This paper was prepared for AWSC 4100, Taught by Professor Ocasio Being a commercial pilot is an achievement that a lot of student pilots dream of. It takes a lot of dedication, sacrifice and passion to achieve. Apart from receiving proper training, licenses, and certifications to become a certified commercial pilot, growing professionally as a person is very important in the aviation industry. Being professional will make you stand out; will increase your chances of being hired and being treated with respect among others. Having this professionalism is indeed necessary nowadays; competition in the industry stands tougher as time goes on. Obtaining a college degree will make you grow academically, but not always professionally. This is why it’s important to find different ways gain experience as an “acting” professional. At the Inter American University, they offer a bachelor’s degree in aviation, which provides a very intriguing class called: “Career Development for Aerospace Professionals”. While enrolled in this class, students will act and dress as professionals during the entire length of the class. Many wonder why they have to dress up for a class, not realizing that presentation is a very important key for obtaining a good professionalism. Impressions count for a lot, especially first impressions. Wearing the proper attire is the first thing people look at, making this a judgment tool. If you dress up properly, you will be judged as a professional and serious...

Building different relationships with people is my main focus to conquer handling and understanding being in the Human Services field. When in school, I must have a presentable outlook about myself because I consider my school a professional environment. School is the place I groom the professionalism habit into my body. In class I take notes, interact and participate with others. Also, a Human Service professional requires me taking motes, listening and interacting with different clients. The most important fact is to make sure I understand the material in class and also understand the clients’ problems and situations they may approach me with when I become a professional worker. There are many populations for me to choose from; therefore, I choose to work with teenage families. By, working with teenage families, I would learn how differently each teenage parent is treated or how they react to situations such as having their own family. I would learn different ways to encourage them that, they would still be able to have a life even though their life has made a tremendous change of a baby.

A large number of companies obtainedthe ISO 9000 Standards certificate as a first step towards TQM (Hiyassat, 2000). However, if people are not serious in implementing quality management, no matter how good the system is, itwill fail eventually.

...Sydney Minorik Maureen Williams BSAD 220, Section 103, MW, 11:30-12:20 September 1, 2014 What Wikipedia Can’t Tell You About Professionalism After brainstorming ideas on what the word “professionalism” meant to me and getting nowhere, I decided that it would be more efficient to get on my computer and type the word into Google. To no surprise, the first web page that popped up was Wikipedia. Although I typically avoid Wikipedia, I clicked on the hyperlink deciding to give the website another shot. Wikipedia described the word “professionalism” as being the status, methods, character or standards expected of a professional or of a professional organization. I should have trusted my initial instinct because Wikipedia’s vague definition wasted about 52 seconds of my time. As I sat staring at my computer frustrated and discouraged, it hit me. A professional always does his or her best to avoid wasting time. When I was a kid, I was nicknamed “The Procrastinator” by my 6th grade teacher. I spent my days dazing off into space, doodling boys names in notebooks and catching up on sleep while my teachers lectured. When my parents would ask me what I had learned that day, I would sit twiddling my thumbs in an effort to change the subject. I was constantly wasting time. As my grade point average dropped drastically and my parents grew more and more frustrated with me, I decided I needed to make a change. I needed to stop wasting so much time and handle my education more professionally...
