...When reflecting upon the eighth grade year in English class at Julius West, I am able to see many strengths and weaknesses from the many writing assignments we completed in class. There are three main classification of writing which are narrative, argument, and analysis. When completing assignments many factors play into have a good piece, such as conventions, evidence, thesis, organization, analysis, creativity, style, and accuracy. During the year I have excelled at some and have been inadequate at others. To focus on the many strengths and weaknesses I used my argument and analysis writing to create my reflection upon my work. By using this category of work you are able to see the main parts I achieved and areas that need improvements on....

...I enjoyed the years I've been in Julius West Middle School. How I study and work during these years vary from situation to situation. I like to get things done early or at least not at the last day so I have more time for other activities and I wouldn't be working under pressure. I like to pace myself when studying, but when I do work in pressured situations, I start to meticulously arrange what should be done in my head and start working the most efficient way possible. Double checking all of my work and revise parts to make it better when finished. I pace myself and get things done using the smart way. If there is a problem that I do not understand I begin looking it up on the Internet. I usually attempt to seek the answer by myself and asking questions would be the ultimate solution for me....

...Reflections Important Questions Q.1 Why is it insular for European historians to term the centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire “The Dark Ages”? Ans. Although the term “The Dark Ages” is generally applied to the early medieval period of Western European history, specifically, it refers to the time (476-800) when there was no Holy Roman Emperor, or the time (500-1500) when there were frequent warfare and a virtual disappearance of urban life. In either case, it was only the Christened Europe which was going through a period of intellectual darkness and barbarity. The Muslim world, as well as Spain, and the Chinese Empire were both culturally brilliant and geographically extensive. Thus, Bertrand Russell in the chapter ‘Reflections of the Re-awakening East’ says that it is the narrow outlook of the Europeans to term this period “The Dark Ages”. Q.2 On what grounds does the author argue that Communism is the “most modern and virulent form of Western Imperialism”? Ans. In the chapter ‘Reflections on the Re-awakening East’ Bertrand Russell argues that Communism is the most modern and bitterly hostile form of Western policy to establish their political and economic hegemony over other nations. He says that although Communism is not widely recognized in either the East or the West, it is wiping out the ancient and glorious traditions of civilization in Asia. He also says that China has been greatly affected by it and advises the other Asian countries that re-awakening...

...According to Milton C. Albrecht, sociologists have not given due attention to the role of art and literature in societies; rather, they have relied on the more traditional measures in examining society. Nevertheless, many people would agree that literature has had considerable influence on society and vice versa. In academia, there are three widespread theories regarding the relationship of literature and society: the "reflection," "shaping," and "social control" theories. The reflection theory suggests literature provides a fair representation of society. The shaping theory, which essentially complements the reflection theory, suggests ideas present in literature shape the behaviors of individuals. And finally, the social control theory suggests literature is used to maintain and stabilize society. Though all base their arguments on different evidence, Baldwin, Morrison, and West share the premise that literature provides an accurate reflection of society. Many experts studying the relationship have suggested that the reflection theory is the most plausible theory present. Estorick, a prominent scholar in this discipline, contends that the type of literature present in a society is ultimately reflects the type of ideology that society embraces in Literature and Democracy. Estorick discusses the evolution of muckraking literature into reform literature. Upon analyzing the social conditions of the day, Estorick draws a connection between reform literature, through which...

...Running Head: Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Leonard Larino University of Phoenix – Professor Bonnie Schoettle April 27, 2015 Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Public health nursing involves a community and the overall health of the community. A community is a group within an area or region. These groups vary through various areas. According to Stanhope & Lancaster, they cited the World Health Organization’s definition of community as a group of people in a defined geographical area that share a common culture, values and norms, and are arranged in a social structure based on the community’s development over time. (Stanhope & Lancaster, p. 397, 2012). There are three factors in community: people, place and function. (Stanhope & Lancaster, p. 397, 2012). These three factors are what we as potential community health/public health nurses examine to develop a plan of care for the community. As community health nurses, the community is the client, with the focus being the collective and common good of the population; the individual patients we care for are now expanded into a whole populations benefit. (Stanhope & Lancaster, p. 398, 2012). Community health is collective needs being met and is done by identifying problems and managing behaviors in the community. (Stanhope & Lancaster, p. 401, 2012). Improving health can be achieved through community partnerships. This can be done by partnering...

...Office of Human Resources Diversity & Inclusion Activities Diversity and Inclusion activities are simple ways to get people talking and listening to one another. It is only through understanding each other that we truly gain knowledge and can move forward together. While we can’t always walk in someone else’s shoes, we can take the time to inquire about how the shoe fits and if its path is smooth or riddled with pebbles. Social Justice • PO Box 6031, 412 Knapp Hall • Morgantown, WV 26506 • 304-293-8948 http://socialjustice.ext.wvu.edu/ Objectives Office of Human Resources There are many reasons you may choose to use and icebreaker or activity: to warm up or relax your group, to bring your group back together after a break or intense session, to introduce the next segment or to present your group with challenges that, as a team (together or divided into small groups or teams), your group must either overcome or address. Age & Appropriateness Icebreakers and activities are adaptable to your group and situation. When considering an icebreaker or activity, be sure to keep specifics about your group in mind, such as age and meeting focus. Please don’t overlook an icebreaker or activity because you think the group is too mature for it. Many groups, once aware that it’s ok to relax and have fun, will enjoy the experience of “being able to let go,” if only for a moment. Icebreakers Icebreakers are exercises that are intended to help a group of people begin the...

...workers in the field can be undermined. A lot of distrust can arise from "book learning", so using the work place to apply learning can be very useful. Kolb's learning theory is a four-stage learning cycle, (which might also be interpreted as a 'training cycle') but can be very useful. Kolb's model is particularly well-designed, since it offers both a way to understand individual people's different learning styles and also an explanation of a cycle of experiential learning that can apply to learning in the work place. The four-stage cycle of learning, invites learners to think of learning as an experience that has a direct effect or concrete experience. These experiences provide a basis for 'observations and reflections'. Kolb has indicated that ideally the learning process represents a cycle...

...The creation of humans have been thought bout for trillion of years. People have become so curious that they made their own beliefs and stories to back it up or explain it. The West African and Genesis creation stories contain archetypal similarities and differences. The West African belief story, created the human and he created human by using clay. He “formed the clay in the shape that he saw in his reflection”(West African). In other words he created the human in the image of a god. That is the similarity between In the Genesis creation story the human was also made in the image of the god. Instead of using clay he used dust. Also the Earth was created different. In the beginning there was only the heavens and he himself. He created it...

...Cold War, one has to accept that instead of new, modern order concepts in secur ity policy theories there is much inertia, which extends the life of old order concepts, and still also a prevailing thinking in categories of East- West and North-South confrontation. Today, this certainly happens in categories which are rather free from ideologies, but still according to ge opolitical perceptions of balances and counter- balances. And one must not forget that the main opponents in the Cold War, the U.S.A. and Russia, still maintain their strategic nuclear ar senals and, therefore, an antagonistic base component in their relations. Beyond that it is also necessary to develop courage for new scenarios, for new thinking, indeed perhaps for something like ‘mind games’ - in an essay - based, of course, on perceptions from the past and the present. Extrapolations are indeed permitted when dealing with future scenarios. Also, potential constellations have to be aimed at which guide beyond historic reflections or so-called current analyses. Therefore, the reader will occasionally also come across subjunctives in this essay. The future is open ; occasionally, we may also encircle it with ‘unbrushed thinking’. Is the East-West conflict really over? Or has it only declined in importance because of a much weaker Russia - compared with the Soviet Union - , her concentration in a limited area compared with its former global dimension, and the change from a...

...Jarred Mayo GEOG 200 8/22/2012 REFLECTION ESSAY I live in a major city for Tennessee, particularly West Tennessee. Jackson has many landmarks, as I look through this fair city the items that I see and feel have made an impact and are of importance are the buildings. There are numerous businesses, schools, shopping, housing, hospitals, and other buildings in my city. I see all of these buildings, but very little forestry and what little I do see was planted by man in a square in concrete, which human imprint has definitely made its mark in this city. This has all made an impact by creating a large population scale and the manufacturing in the community. There are also many statues of long ago heroes, who guard our fair city. These make a great decoration to the eye and adds more than only buildings and roads. As nightfall begins to come the signs seem to come to life with their vibrant multi colors and designs, some even with motion. During the daylight hours there are many items on the landscape that I can identify with as being key sights to associate with home. One of the most historic and intriguing is the Electric Powers building that was built in the early 1940’s and is still used as the power plant to this day. There become more and more buildings and less natural landscape so frequently. Population and marketing is at such a high rate that the buildings that are already built are completely occupied, and address that more have to be built. Even though...

...Supply Chain Management: CEO Decision on West Coast Expansion Yunior A. Espinal Colorado Tech University SCM 210 – Intro to Logistics / Supply Chain May 1, 2015 Supply Chain Management: CEO Decision on West Coast Expansion Section I: Introduction The main pro for having multiple distribution centers and shipping locations across the U.S. is to have the ability to meet customer demand at all major locations. Other pros include lowering the transportation and freight costs to diverse customer locations. Reducing the travel area when establishing multiple distribution centers and shipping locations lower transportation costs. The expectation is that multiple distribution centers will help to lower the time frame for customer servicing by meeting current customer demand. Effectively, linking demand with inventory (Fortna, n.d.). Intuitively, cons include the cost of land, buildings, labor, and equipment, for the development of multiple distribution centers and shipping locations. The rate of domestic sales for each region should increase faster than the rate of cost of operations for each regional distribution center. The benefit of having more than one international distribution center is to manage more effectively the distribution of international sales. Cons include the higher cost of labor (Blackerby, 2003). Cost of labor is reflective of the underlying exchange rate of the euro/USD or 1 euro = $1.50. The cons of an international shipping location instead shipping from the...

...eastern culture begins to change the dime store novel version of the Old West. The marshal, Jack, is concerned that the town’s folks will be angry that he did not include them in his wedding celebration, typical of small Old West towns where everybody knew each other and their business. The symbolism associated with the private wedding, the bride’s new fancy clothes, Jack’s “new black clothes,” and the “watch” show how Jack is growing up and away from the Old West’s ways. Scratchy, the drunk, displays both the Old West’s wild attitudes and eastern clothing trends, showing how the two cultures are intersecting. In “The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky,” setting exhibits a major role in symbolizing the changes taking place as the East flows into the Old West. The historical significance of the train to the settling of the West brings to life the images of the East meeting West in Crane’s tale. Trains helped civilize the West by bringing commerce and creating towns along their routes. Transportation that was more comfortable and safe brought increasing numbers of women to the towns, which began to tame the West. Trains also brought eastern culture and people across the plains to the Wild West. The refinement of the train foreshadows the domestication of the West, “the environment of the new estate”(341). In part one, Crane describes the progress of the train across the plains bringing civilization to the Wild West and creating the allusion of the new culture moving westward. Crane describes...

...Reflections Week Four Learning Team E Andrew Appleton, Samuel Bowers, Martha Martin Jennifer Payton RES/351 November 4, 2013 Joshua West Reflections Week Four Learning Team E The objectives for week four reflections are: Differentiate between qualitative and quantitative methods of research. Explain commonly used qualitative research designs and quantitative research designs. Select the appropriate type of research design in a given business situation. Team member Mandy discussed that qualitative research is a systematic subjective approach used to describe life experiences and give them meaning. This includes focus groups, in-depth interviews, and reviews of documents for types of themes. This most commonly used in Health Care. Quantitative research is a formal, objective, systematic process for obtaining the precise measurement of something. This includes surveys, structural interviews and observation, reviews of records or documents for numeric information. This is commonly used in Education research. If a clothing company sells blue jeans and they want to measure the impact of the company by changing the product from blue jeans to black jeans, this would be a causal research design. Further discussion within the subject by team member Joann consisted of the importance to understand the difference between qualitative and quantitative methods of research. In qualitative method of research is designed to know more about the subject’s feelings. This would be a...
