...been taken over, he becomes more less confident, rather disturbed. It said in the reading that Knowlton caught himself feeling apprehensive about the reaction that Fester might have to some of his work and that even Knowlton himself was a little surprised at his feelings because he had always been proud. Both men want to move forward with the project, and I feel like they were considerate to each other’s thoughts during the meetings. Fester is highly extraverted whereas Knowlton is more in the middle as the case goes on. In similarity, Knowlton and Fester are both open and conscientiousness. The GLOBE model could be used to describe the clash between Knowlton and Fester. This model addresses leadership qualities and recommends how leaders should conduct business in cultural clusters that are different from what they are accustomed to. GLOBE practices would help Knowlton feel more comfortable around Fester as he sometimes feels belittled by Festers ability to take over explaining the graphs and new methods to the project. The impact of GLOBE would enable Knowlton and Fester to have a better understanding of one another as the cultural dimensions included in the...

...Science relating to sociology is based upon the debate of how society should be studied. There two perspectives, Positivism and Interpretivism. Positivists such as Emile Durkheim believed that society can be studied with the same methods as all other natural sciences as Sociology is known as a social science. Interpretivists such as Weber argue that knowledge is based upon people's interpretations of things. Positivist sociologists argue that the methods used to study and research natural sciences can be used to study people within society, and that by doing this research problems within society can be resolved and social progress can be attained. Positivists believe that reality does exist and not is a figment of individuals minds which means it can objectively be studied and give factual results. Positivists prefer to use methods of research which will give them easily quantifiable results which they can then use to observe patterns and new laws within society. Positivists aim to find these patterns within society as they can then make general statements about society works. Comte believed that sociology was a science as it shared the same basics with sociology of trying to find cause and effects, and that by applying these scientific methods true objectivity would be able to attained. The view a positivist would take is that reality is not random but is made up of patterns allowing us to research it quantifiably. And that this quantifiable data would allow for sociologists...

...Should Abortion be Legal Kristy Love COMM/215 Essentials of College Writing 09/29/2014 Dr. Laura Wilson Should Abortion be Legal? Ever since the case of Roe Wade in 1973, abortion has been one of the most contentious issues in our society, this has been controversy for years now. The sound of that word can cause an environment to go from cheery to tense. People suddenly become, avoiding the topic that they know if engage will become passionate and fiery debate. Those who for abortion want to protect the rights of women and what they can do for their own bodies, while those against it firmly believe in the rights of the unborn child. There is, however great speculation between what we call “pro-filer” and “pro-choicer”. People that are pro-choice have their reasons. They believe it’s a women’s body. She should be able to decide whether or not if she doesn’t want the fetus. Another reason people support abortion rights is for certain reasons. Examples of this are rape, teen pregnancy, or sickness the mother may have. Abortion can also result into not being able to get pregnant in the future, many sicknesses and even death. Abortion affects both victims in dangerous and physicals ways. Some people don’t support this procedure because they fill that the women are highly risking the mother’s life and affecting her. Not only does it have an effect on the USA but, it affects other countries as well. Should Abortion be Legal? As we all know, there are...

...FINANCE & ACCOUNTING Should HSBC Stay or Should It Go? by David Champion MARCH 17, 2011 London-based HSBC, arguably the world’s most global bank, recently described speculation that it was planning to shift its headquarters from London to Hong Kong as “presumptuous.” Well, maybe, but whenever you hear a politician denying that he will resign, you nearly always end up seeing him resign a week later. But the kerfuffle raises a more interesting question: Does it really matter if HSBC moves its HQ from London? After all, HSBC is not proposing to close its British operations. What is so special about where a global organization headquarters itself? Well, obviously it can affect a business’s tax bill. That, though, is a largely technical issue, because your nominal headquarters need not be your operational one. What we are really talking about is whether it matters where your key decisions are made or where your CEO makes spends most time. It probably wouldn’t matter much if your operations were really evenly distributed across the world. If that were the case, you could pick and choose from the various reasons a taxefficient locality that was an attractive place for senior executives to move their families to. But as Pankaj Ghemawat points out in his forthcoming World 3.0 (HBR Press, April 2011), very few firms are truly global in the sense that their business isn’t concentrated in any one spot. He notes that as recently as 2004, less than one percent...

...Drill 2 We need to get off our dependency of foreign oil. There are two major suggestions on how to solve this issue. One is to follow President Barack Obama’s plan. He proposes that the best way for us to get off of oil dependency is to create alternate energy resources. This would offer more jobs for the people. Most of the Republicans on the other hand, want to do more drilling in the United States and more offshore drilling. They say that having more oil companies will create more jobs. Who is right or wrong? We need to look at the situation for a long term fix. Drilling more yes will offer more jobs but who is to say for how long? Also, as more fossil fuels are being burned, we are polluting our air and our country. Offshore drilling is dangerous to the environment, it is dangerous to the people, and it is not a long term solution to freeing our dependency of foreign oil. When drilling off shore you run into the chance of having another oil spill like we had last year. There were millions of sea life animals that were affected by this event. Fishing companies were unable to fish in those areas because of the oil contaminate in the fish. How many lives are we going to put in danger by drilling offshore? If there is another accident like last year can be we really be sure that it will be stopped right away or will it take up to three months to get through the red tape from another country to fix it? By drilling and mining for fossil fuels, we are destroying...

...In 1999, the world saw a movie that made them question the future of technology, “The Matrix.” Almost two decades later, three of the biggest components of the film are starting to become the worst fears of our near future: virtual reality, artificial intelligence (AI), and privacy. In modern times, we question whether we are being monitored, we are being replaced by future machines, and even if any of this is even real. When faced with world-changing technological advances, like the discovery of the atom, one must question whether it could lead to an atomic bomb. As the discovery of basic AI was born, the world feared that it had created a monster. AIs are commonly portrayed as extremely dangerous in modern media with good reason. On one...

...Euthanasia Should Be Legalized Euthanasia should be legalized? As human beings we should all have the right to end our suffering and to choose a dignified, quiet death. Euthanasia is the hastening of death for a suffering, terminally ill person. It is a quiet and easy death. Indeed, the term euthanasia quite literally means in Greek a good death. Euthanasia should be made a legal procedure within Australia as any such legalisation would give people the legal right to choose a ‘good death’, a dignified death for themselves. As human beings we have the right to vote, to take responsibility for our actions and to make our own choices. We are an autonomous people with a right to self-sufficiency, independence and to self-regulation, so why should we not have the right to choose whether or not our lives should end if there is little or no hope of recovery? We all should have the right to choose to die if our circumstances are completely intolerable. We grant animals these rights yet we currently do not offer humans the same opportunity. Who are we, as a civilised society, to force a competent, yet terminally ill person to endure a lingering and painful death? Every person should have the legal right to make choices regarding their own lives and according to their own values as long as these choices do not impinge on the liberties of others. The choice of a terminally ill person to die does not impinge on the liberties of others – only their own. When the only alternative is suffering...

...Teachers should be armed, teachers should not be armed. These statements are being spread throughout america as we speak, and with each statement there is an opinion. The teachers should be armed in order to protect students in school nationwide. Teachers should carry guns because, doing nothing is not working, students should be protected, and this movement would save many lives. As well, teachers should be armed in case of an emergency. Doing nothing about this problem, is not solving anything. The article, “After another deadly school shooting, is it time for US teachers to carry guns?” Explains that at least 17 people died after a 19-year-old shot up Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

...Should Not Privatize Prisons Amanda Clayton Rasmussen College Author Note This assignment is for Ms. Sally DePreist’s English Composition Class G124 and is being submitted on December 14, 2014 Should Not Privatize Prisons Prisons should not be privatized because punishing criminal activity should not be a profit business. It is not the place of private prisons to administer punishments. It is the State or government that decides who is a prisoner so they should remain responsible for them until rehabilitated. It is wrong to put a private company that makes a profit off a being in charge of prison operations because their goal is profit not punishment or rehabilitation. Private prisons that cut costs may risk security problems because cutting costs often means cutting corners. Prison should not be privatized because the path to profit is to treat human beings badly. Prisons are based on two things custody and care. No one wants to cut corners on the custody aspects of a prison. Care is the only part of a budget that has room to be cut. "One way for-profit prisons to minimize costs is by skimping on provisions, including food. “ A psychiatrist who investigated a privately run prison in Mississippi found that the inmates were severely underfed and looked “almost emaciated.” During their incarceration, prisoners lost anywhere from 10 to 60 pounds." Citation Steven Starkey Additionally, there is a financial incentive...

...Should Abortion be legal? 2 Should abortion be legal? What is abortion and who does it affect? An abortion is to terminate a pregnancy by removal of the fetus . The woman is affected by it because it’s her body that this method is performed on. There are millions of abortions done every year, and 95% are done illegally in the United States of America. There are different methods a woman can do to have an abortion done. Some of the methods are taking the” Morning after Pill”. This method will make the woman have a miscarriage within 48 hours. Another method is to have a surgery to remove the baby or fetus. This method gives you up to 22 weeks to have an abortion. The first reason why women have abortions is the mother is in a life threating position. The doctors are the ones who can say if its life threating or if the mother and baby can make it together. About 90% of women who are in life threating situation do not want to live, but they want the baby to make it. The life threating situation is because if the mother can be n a suicide watch and trying to kill the baby and herself. What if the woman fell into a coma while she is pregnant? How would the baby survive, if the mother is not eating and getting the right vitamins that she need for the baby. Sometimes you have to think about the good and the bad in some situations. The second reason women have...

...Should Pluto be a Planet? In 1930 Clyde W. Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona discovered the planet Pluto. After serving 76 long years as the ninth planet in our solar system, Pluto was controversially demoted to a dwarf planet in 2006. This has raised many debates on whether Pluto was categorized unfairly or not. Astronomers from both sides of the debate have legitimite arguments making it tough to decide whether Pluto should be classified as a planet or a dwarf planet. Pluto’s title as a planet was questioned when Mike Brown, Professor of Planetary Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology discovered an object in 2005 that was further out than the orbit of Pluto. The object was also 25% more massive than Pluto. This object was later named Eris. It is located along with Pluto in the Kuiper Belt. There are plenty of other mysterious objects located in the Kuiper Belt that are more or less the same size as Pluto and Eris. This troubled the International Astronomical Union because this meant that there are tens to hundreds of objects that could very soon be known as planets. There are approximately more than 1,000 objects composed of the same icy mixture located in the Kuiper Belt. Many astronomers, scientists, and the International Astronomical Union felt uncomfortable with the fact that there are hundreds of objects in our solar system that have a strong possibility of becoming planets. To avoid the feeling of skepticism the International...

...Should abortion be legal? With the recent presidential campaign of 2012 one of the greatest issues of concern for the democrats and republicans is; should abortion be legal? During the presidential debate of 2012 each candidates expressed their concerns about abortion. It boils down to moral reasoning and core values. Logic gives the ability to decide what we believe to be true based on premise and conclusion. We use logic to decide whether an argument it is ethical or justifiable. Often times these decisions are formed by the media, religious affiliation and family values. These arguments come from many areas. Most commonly they are from the politics/law, science and women’s rights. The question is should abortion be legal? The Democratic Party supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay. Roe v. Wade has been a monumental case associated with a woman’s right to choose. With the Democratic Party in favor of women right to make her own decision on the basis of sanctity of life many people on this side of the spectrum voted in favor of a democratic president that represents their own core values. This particular issue affects people in the here and now along with people that are yet to come. Republicans oppose Roe vs. Wade because of the sanctity of human life. They believe that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed upon...

...When someone has a child, it is one of the greatest responsibilities that anyone could have because you are putting someone else’s needs in front of yours. When an unexpected pregnancy happens, women wonder whether they should keep the child or not. Abortion has been one of the main issues in America that has not been solved. My opinion about abortion is indifferent. I do not believe people should abort, but I do believe people should have the right to choose with reasoning. The reasons why a mother should abort their baby would be because of health issues or something happened to the mother which caused this unexpected pregnancy. By health issues, I mean if during labor or anytime during the pregnancy the mother could die or fatally ill. Another health issue would be, if the baby would become mentally retarded and the mother absolutely could not handle having a mentally ill child. No mother wants to see their child suffer day in and day out, but putting the baby at peace by aborting it would be okay. By something happing to the mother, I mean rape. When someone is a rape victim, it is never easy to cope with the idea someone forced you to do something you did not want to do. The mother would not be mentally or physically prepared to take care of a child....
