...Statement of Intent Joscelyn D. Gonzalez 08/2016 Statement of Intent Trace the development of your interest in the field of social work. I began my educational career wanting to understand the connection between the mind and the behavior; that is why I chose psychology. Starting my current job at a foster care agency I became more interested in the way the children adapt to and are affected by their environments, it was my employment that fully triggered my interest in social work. Working with children and having a positive impact in their lives has led me to wanting to do more them. Being able to do something small for others and seeing that it can be a major impact in their lives is one of the greatest feelings I had ever felt....

...Anahera Nin’s Statement of Intent For my writing folio, I wrote two pieces of creative writing. The theme of my writing folio is ‘The Monster Within’, and has been interpreted very differently for both stories. My first piece, ‘The Real Monsters’, is a short story that takes place in the 1800s and features a circus freak show. The story focuses on a young boy who gives into curiosity and because of his innocent heart, receives a valuable lesson about what really makes someone a monster. It is aimed for an older audience, typically older teenagers to adults as the story explores darker themes and hidden morals that will probably not be picked up by younger readers. It is meant to cause the reader to think about how they themselves view others who may be different, and how being mean about another’s uniqueness such as calling someone ‘ugly’ can be a hypocritical thing to do, as the only person who seems to be doing ugly things is the name-caller. My second piece, ‘Looking Through The Glass’, is based on the real-life event of the 2014 Isla Vista killings, where Elliot Roger, son of Hunger Games unit director Peter Roger, murdered 6 people and injured 13 people before committing suicide. The piece is taken from the viewpoint of his father, Peter Roger, and it outlines Peter’s thoughts as he watches his son’s video ‘Elliot Rodger’s Retribution’. It is aimed for the same audience as my previous piece, older teens and adults as older teens are about the same age as Elliot and...

...I have chosen to analyze the novel “Fifth Business”, written by RobertsonDavies. I selected this novel as the title had initially intrigued me the most in comparison to the other available options. I have also read the novel “The Manticore” written by him as well, I thoroughly enjoyed it due to his writing style and was keen on reading “Fifth Business” as a result. Robert Davies is a Canadian author, playwrighter, journalist and professor whom is from Thamesville Ontario. I will prove that within the novel “Fifth Business” the theme of psychology is identified. Psychology influences not only the life of the protagonist named Dustan, but it also touches on the lives of the antagonists within this novel as well. I will prove that this theme exists by showcasing the connection it has with the characters in the novel. For example Dunstan lives his life trying to understand himself through the eyes of others. I will prove that Dunstan foreshadows the theme Psychology as he is a introverted young boy with characteristics of a confident young boy. This strange combination of archetypes is shown throughout the novel as Dunstan reflects on his life. The second character known as Davies is proven to be the opposite of Dunstan, he is a young extroverted boy that has a simple understanding of what his motivations are in life. Lastly the character known as Mrs.Dempster is a middle aged woman that represents the archetype of a sacred yet profane feminine woman. She poses an obstacle to Dunstan...

...I wish to enroll in the MBA program for the upcoming spring term. My purpose in this capacity is to master and learn as much as I can in the fields of business administration, accounting, and finance. I feel that an MBA could launch my career and me to new heights, and I am willing to accept the challenge that it will bring. I hope to learn and apply the skills taught through the program to the real world and contribute to the best of my ability. I chose The Florida Institute of Technology because it is a reputable school, with high credentials. The college also offers online classes, which I feel would best suit me as a working adult. Another reason I feel F.I.T. would be a good fit is because it is in-state, and knowing I have support close to home. I really have appreciated the time and effort of those at F.I.T who have helped me to this point. I completed undergraduate study at The University of Florida. My chosen field was business administration, with a major in finance. I chose this path because of my love for business in general, and especially the study of the financial side of business. At the time I was perusing my undergraduate degree, I was working a part time job, and admittedly I became lazy. Although my GPA was not what I wished for in the last couple semesters, I feel I have learned from that experience and have put it behind me. I have experienced the consequences of not working up to one’s full potential; it can take its toll on one’s psyche, as well as leaving...

...Statement of Intent: Independent Study Project: Fahrenheit 451 My tentative topic for this ISP will be Ray Bradbury’s use delusion of truth, the desire of ignorance and the fear of freeing oneself from propaganda to express society’s desire for perfect happiness- no matter the cost- in Fahrenheit 451. In this dystopian novel, Bradbury uses Clarisse and her odd family to foreshadow some of Guy Montag’s doubt in himself, his family and his daily life. Clarisse’s role in the novel is made clearer as Montag begins searching for the truth as she is seen as a guiding light to give Guy hope for a better future where he is happy. Given the government dictated culture they live in, the danger and fear of finding the knowledge that Montag is paid to destroy, there is no doubt that Bradbury is using the dystopian society’s unconscious desire to live a lie, the yearn to not know more and the consequences of finding out the truth in order to highlight society’s solution for happiness: delusion. In this Independent Study Project I will attempt to showcase that seeking out the truth in a government enforced web of lies is unwanted, fear inducing and dangerous. To prove this, I will connect the laws, crimes, those who commit and their consequences with those who ignore the truth and act content with their deluded lives. In doing so, I hope to demonstrate that as Guy Montag figures out the truth, he realizes how much the government dictates the culture he lives in In the paper, I will consider...

...“lie n: an untrue statement made with intent to deceive” The definition of the lie is something that is oft debated, and so there are many definitions that one could find. This paper will attempt to analyze one of these definitions in greater detail, specifically “lie n: an untrue statement made with intent to deceive” (1). To better understand the meaning of this definition it is important to break it up into the smaller parts from which its total meaning is gathered. These components are “an untrue statement” and “made with intent to deceive”. To comprehend the first half of the definition, “an untrue statement” it would be of value to solidly understand the words it contains. What then does untrue mean? And how is “untrue” differentiated...

...STRATEGIC INTENTS Companies that have risen to global leadership over the past 20 years invariably began with ambitions that were out of all proportion to their resources and capabilities. But they created an obsession with winning at all levels of the organization and then sustained that obsession over the 10 to 20 year quest for global leadership. We term this obsession “ stategic intent.” On the one hand, strategic intent envisions a desired leadership position and establishes the criterion the organisation will use to chart its progress. At the same time, strategic intent is more than simply unfettered ambition. The concept also encompasses an active management process that includes: focusing the organisation’s attention on the essence of winning; motivating people by communicating the value of the target; leaving room for individual and team contribution; sustaining enthusiasm by providing new operational definitions as circumstances change; and using intent consistently to guide resource allocation. Strategic intent captures the essence of winning, stabel over time and sets a target that deserves personal effort and commitment. (Hamel & Prahalad, 1989) Hierarchy of strategic intent includes five types of element ranging from (1) a broad vision of what the organisation should be, (2) the organisation mission , (3) specific goals (4) various strategic objectives (5) spesific plans. (Miller,1998) Stategic Intent An-nisa Tangerang Hospital VISION STATEMENT : To be characterized...

...Cisco Strategic Planning and Strategic Intent Introduction The purpose of this essay is to understand the core concepts behind strategic planning and strategic intent and then to compare and contrast those concepts in regards to the strategies of Cisco Systems Inc. Description of Theories/Core Concepts Strategic Planning Strategic planning is the process of identifying a desired future, then transforming that vision into goals or objectives, and then to establish a set of task lists or sequences to achieve the goals. Strategic planning starts with an end-state then works backwards to the organizations currents state. In general, the strategic planning process begins with identifying the mission and/or vision for the company, then setting up the goals and objectives, followed by analyzing the company’s current state, and then setting up a plan based on the current state to meet the established goals and objectives. Lastly strategic planning calls for the implementation of the plan while getting feedback and establishing controls to keep the organization on track. (Stacey, 2007) Strategic Intent Strategic intent is a different approach although there are some similarities. The main principle behind strategic intent is to establish “an obsession with winning at all levels of the organization and then sustained that obsession over the 10-20 year quest for global leadership.” (Hamel, 1989) Using Strategic Intent to provide the path ahead, organizational leaders...

...Trespass has been said to be one of the most ancient form of torts. It developed even before the presence of the police force, to provide protection against the physical interference to person, land or property. The statement has made specific reference to the tort of trespass to person, in regards to the extent of intention needed to determine that a trespass to person has occurred. As such this essay will examine the tort of trespass, with reference to both UK and Malaysian cases in order to make that determination. It will then conclude. As mentioned before trespass may take three forms. The focus here will be on the trespass to person. All three forms of torts, it should be noted, are actionable per se, meaning that the claimant may not...

...BRIEF ANSWER Likely yes. Under the New Nottingham (N.N.) Penal Code, burglary is committed if a person enters any house, apartment, or building with the intent to commit larceny. The B-17 is a World War II era historical aircraft, and does not fit the description of a “building” required by law. In addition, it’s clear from the client’s statement he did not intend to commit a crime prior to entering the aircraft. Therefore, Mr. Denton will likely not be...

...1. Design and Emergence Approach of Strategic Management Strategic management is the process of designing an organization vision, mission and goals. It develops set of actions for formulating the strategy. Some arguments exist in corporate that ’how strategy is made’ either through design or emergence approach. According to emergence approach, strategy emerges through the initiative taken by the manager for enhancing the performance of firm. Here, the strategy is formed without any long term plan. The manager just frames it, to meet out the day to day operations of the firm. For instance, Sam Walter, the founder of Wal-Mart, established his store in 1962. His competitor opened the store in urban areas, to get huge profit. But for a change, Sam Walton opened his store in rural area, which brings him success, as he got customers 50 miles away from the stores. Here, he does not apply any strategic plan. Strategy came out through his response to the problem. Emergent approach of framing strategy is common in earlier days, and it become quite successful too. But according to design approach, strategy is intentionally formed by the organization to achieve the goals. For instance, consider an organization is going to expand the business globally. For this, a well planned strategy should be devised to meet out the requirements of various countries. Once the strategy is devised, it should be implemented by keeping in mind about the mission and vision of the organization. Mostly top...

...Essay Question 1 1. From the sale of his home in 2004, Melvin will incur a gain in the amount realized from the sale of his home, which exceeds his deferred basis in the home because the property was transferred to him incident to divorce. Furthermore, Melvin will be able to exclude the gain on the sale of his personal residence from his taxable income. The rules pertaining to federal income tax and income tax deductions are governed by the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”). According to the Code, all income is taxable from whatever source derived unless otherwise excluded. Pursuant to the Code, income is defined as any economic benefit to the taxpayer or any clearly realized accession to wealth. Under this conceptualization of income, income can be in the form of cash or the fair market value of any property received. In the instant case, Melvin sold his principal primary residence. The amount realized for the sale of his home was $200,000 in cash and two paintings, each valued at $50,000. Thus, his entire amount realized, consists of the total value, or $300,000. Determining the amount realized is only the first step in determining what income will be taxable to Melvin in 2004. Next, because the disposition of property (receiving value for the sale of a home) is a capital gain, the amount of Melvin’s basis in the property must be subtracted from the amount realized to determine the amount of taxable income. A taxpayer’s basis in property is the amount of money...

...University of Fredericton | ------------------------------------------------- Priority of Marketing within an Organization | EMBA 603Irfan Chughtai | Today’s Organizations Today’s businesses are getting increasingly complex and diverse. Globalization, technological changes, knowledge management and cross boundaries collaboration are four factors that are major forces creating change in organizations today. These changes affect decision-making as organizations are forced to recognize that they need leaders who are innovative, creative visionaries who understand the various environments that their organizations are operating in, and are able to differentiate between these different environments. These environments include: the external or operating environment; the competitive environment and the macro environment in which influences such as the economy, government regulations, societal values, demographics and technology come to bear upon an organization. The external influencers included talents and the skills in the workforce, global competition, faster and more disruptive change within the industry, and technological developments.
