...Do your children share your values? Are your values the same as those of your parents? Where do we learn right from wrong? From your parent, church, school, peers? Or do our values come from the TV and movies? And what difference do values make anyway? Many parents are concerned that the core beliefs that brought them happiness in life are not being passed on to their children. Tragically, for the first time in our history, it looks like the next generation will have less opportunity than past generation. Parents want what is best for their children. We all want something even better for them, not worse! But something has gone terribly wrong, because youth are not being taught the character, wisdom, and morals that earlier generations were taught. These values are the convictions that guide our behaviour. But something has gone terribly wrong, because youth are not being taught the character, wisdom, and morals that earlier generations were taught. These values are the convictions that guide our behaviour. The youth of today does have respect for others or themselves for example sagging the pants that is not cool. The youth does not have any personal development at all. You can ask them what are their plans in life the answers are crazy I was told once whatever it takes to get this money and that was from a young lady. But I am without such internal controls of conduct, no free society can survive, much less prosper. Unless we do something about this alarming trend...

...The Value of Teams Christina Rodriguez February 27, 2016 1] In what kind of teams have you participated? First team was fourth grade cheerleading, even though I was on the bottom of the pyramid, I was the foundation of the format. I did cheerleading through middle school, then in high school was in color guard in the band. I have to say being in band takes a lot of teamwork and discipline. From there being a server at a few places where teamwork is a must! Then at Food Lion I was Assistant Produce Manger, on truck days working together to get it unloaded and organized in the cooler takes teamwork and communication. Sometimes we would get dairy or meat products on our floats and because we are a team, would carry the product to the department and they would be thankful. Now at the gas station, all associates work really well together to make sure everything gets done and the store looks clean. Now as a mom, I would say this is the newest team. Rob, myself and the grandparents all work together to ensure that Jackson is taken care of. 2] How is communication in a team different from one-on-one communication, according to the text? The more people in the group the greater chance for miscommunication. One on one communication allows for more input because it can be more specific to each individual responses. They can have a better understanding of each other because it’s more direct. With group communication everyone needs to have a better understanding of the group’s...

By showing how much this poem seems to be of vaule to Billy Collins, and how well he has written the poem, he may have implied that he did in fact lose a loved one.

...the cost of one, but no one would consider it moral. Thus, ends-based standards (a) are false since they produce absurd conclusions and (b) are unachievable since no one would ever willingly follow them in all cases. (2) Ends-based morality is a bad guide to action since it’s impossible to predict the ultimate net effect of any actions given that any action spawns a potentially infinite causal chain and the complexity of the circumstances in which most of our moral choices are situated. Thus, ends-based ethics should be rejected as useless; further, ends based standards are bad for debate since we can never know if either of us achieves them. (3) Ends-based moral calculi inevitably fail because of the incommensurablility of different vaules. For instance, people value freedom, love or friendship independent of the pleasure they get from them, but there’s no way to determine how much pleasure outweighs a given unit of any of those things or vice versa. (4) Even reductionist forms of consequential ethics like hedonism fail since it’s impossible to quantify experiences of pleasure or pain. Thus, there’s no way to apply ends-based rules to moral dilemmas, since there’s no objective way to determine whether the outcome of an action is net-beneficial; further, ends-based standards are bad more debate since there’s no way to weigh impacts objectively. (5) Ends-based ethics ignore the importance of motivation. For instance, returning lost property out of a sense of obligation to...

...rather a depiction of a boy in a racist society who choose to pick a different outlook on what is morally right. By considering the use of the word “Nigger” throughout the book, analyzing the adventures that tested Huck, and the relationship that developed between Hick and Jim. To make a stereotypical southern society Twain choose to mock the dialect and common language used. He choose to keep the society in the book as similar as possible to the one that would be seen in real life. This leads to negative conclusions on how Huck was raised and also to question the morality of the book. To dispute this Jane Smiley in “Say It Ain't So Huck” is that the use of this word causes there to be a deeper racism in this novel [pg.3]. Her augment is vaule in the thought that the use of the word “Nigger” is considered to have a racist connection however, it is not wronged in this specific type of society David Smith argues [Pg.5] the word “Nigger” is in the book as “a means of understanding the precise nature of American racism and Mark Twain attack on it”. This is clear reasoning on Twain purpose to represent a society...

...The quote, “It is not what an author says, but what he or she whispers, that is important” means that every story has a deeper meaning then what it appears to be on the outside. For the reader to truly absorb and learn from the book, the reader has to explore a little bit deeper than just the obvious. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and The Jungle by Upton Sinclair are both pieces of literature that support the above quote, because in order for the reader to truly understand the meaning behind these two pieces of literature, the reader must really tune in on what the two authors are try to get across to the reader. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Huckleberry had a lot of personal obstacles that Huck is forced to overcome, as did Jurgis in The Jungle. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Huck is not just a boy that ran away. Huck is a boy that many times was forced to go against the crowd when it came to certain decisions with slavery. An example of when Mark Twain had a hidden meaning in his literature is on pages 249 and 250: “It was a close place. I took . . . up [the letter I’d written to Miss Watson], and held it in my hand. I was a-trembling, because I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: “All right then, I’ll go to hell”—and tore it up. It was awful thoughts and awful words, but they was said. And I let them stay said; and never thought no more about...

...Jessica K Hirsch Family of Woodstock Paper May 5,2014 Professor Joyce Yip Green Family of Woodstock is more than a gate away for teens and young adults; it’s the exact opposite. As and interviewee for the upcoming position here at the organization, I would like to give you my full appreciation and any knowledge or reasoning of why I applied. When looking at what organization that I should apply for after getting my degree in human service, I was lending more to helping those young people of our country. Reading and learning what this organization has to offer for the young adolescents that are in need as well as the young adult, I felt right at home to where I need to provide my skills. Here is a little bit of what amazed me and what I appreciated this organization for. Preparing an organization is hard, understanding the needs of others and what they possess more of is difficult unless one has a heart for it. As the organization of Family of Woodstock began, the founders found several factors that led them to create such an inspirational organization. From learning and understanding exactly why young teens and adults just decided to escape the confines of the world they were living in and helping them get the proper material they need had to be grateful thought out. Once the problem was recognized, there were actual reasons to plan an organization that would help provided needs and materials...

...Financial accounting Course Assessment 1 FACC/mcyildv2/July14/1 Part A Balance sheet: Income statement: Workings Balance sheet: a/ Tangible fixed assets: 66000£ of fixtures and fittings bought as per August 1st, 2013, needed to be depreciated over 6 years on a straight line method, taking into account a residual value of 10%, meaning 6600 £. This means a yearly depreciation amount of 9900£, which can also be seen on line ‘p’ in the income statement. The 56100£ as the balance on the tangible fixed assets is the difference between the purchase value of 66000£ and the depreciation amount of 9900£. b/ WIP means Work in Process. These assets have been bought before July 31st, 2014, but according to the description have not yet started to be used in the business. Also this 10000£ was not yet reflected in the cash statement as was not yet paid, thus was added on line ‘j’, trade payables. As these assets are not yet used, these are also not being depreciated yet. Only form the moment they are being used, they will be included in depreciation. Therefore we have catalogued them here as WIP. c/ Inventory: the 32000£ is the difference between the 38000£ and the 50% of the 12000£ of inventory which will only be sellable for half of the price, meaning we need to show the lower of the value of the carrying amount and the market value, which in this case is the market value. The write off of this inventory is shown on line...

...seen from Fig.1 that with the increasing of P from -20 to 20, the accuracy of clustering results gradually rises to the highest point, and then declines to the minimum when the value of P is beyond a certain boundary. Only when P is in the range of [-10, 0] can AP algorithm achieve good results. Thus the initialization range of P will be selected as [-10, 0] in the proposed algorithm. Apart from the parameter P, the initial population size popsize, the max iteration number Gmax and the maximum number of dominant solutions NM also have an important influence on the result of the algorithm. In each experiment, we will select their appropriate values by changing the value of one parameter and fixing the others. Figure 3 shows how the max NMI vaules averaged over 30 runs of the extension of GN Benchmark networks in which parameter μ changing from 0.00 to 0.50 with an interval of 0.05 varies with different values of popsize when choosing the max iteration number Gmax=50 and the maximum dominant solution number NM=40. Fig.3 The average value of NMI over 30 runs with different population value It can be seen from Figure 3 that, the algorithm can’t achieve better results if the value of popsize is too small. When the population reaches more than 80, the difference of the results are not significant and the best NMI value is obtained when popsize=100, which is selected in the proposed algorithm. Fig.4 The average value of NMI over 30 runs with different iteration numbers Figure 4 shows...

Examine some of the main concepts that inform our knowledge of strategy and leadership. 3. distinguish between the different approached to strategy The rational approach(有时间顺序)eg. The evolutionary approach The essential purpose of this approach is to assess the organization and its environment, achieve a fit between the two and, on the basis of this analysis, forecast and plan for the future. To maximize profit, organizations should position themselves in the markets to which they are best suited. The example of rational approach is five forces (offers leaders a clear and precise methodology for analyzing an organisation’s industry environment to determine its profitability, and a choice of strategy for optimizing performance in these envirments) This is diagnostic tool. Core assumptions are that the environment and the organization are knowable and definable, and that managers can analyze their industry and match their organization’s strategy accordingly. This model emphasis the role of leaders an d managers in creating and driving strategy and change. The processual approach（无序的，entangled）eg, the systemic approach, fuzzy approach. Strategy is sometimes constructed to make sense of what was happened, as much as it orchestrates what will happen.

...Russian and Jewish Weddings.... Differences and Similarities Nicolette Pawelczak Introduction to Cultural Anthropology ANT 101 Kelley Sams March 23, 2014 Russian and Jewish Weddings.... Differences and Similarities There are many different types of marriage ceremonies that exist in our vast array of diverse cultures. So many similarities and differences exist between the different cultures that have a ritual for uniting a couple together in a bonded marriage union. I will be exploring the Jewish and Russian cultures that are worlds apart. The Russian culture is very close to my heart. My family is from Russia and my parents were married in a traditional Russian Orthodox Church for their wedding. After experiencing all that my culture has to offer in the ways of the “old country”, as my grandmother Anna would say, I have a clear understanding of why the wedding ceremony and the days leading up to it mean so much to the Russian culture. In the Russian culture we enjoy, relish and thrive for our traditions. As a child I would listen to stories about how my parents met, how my grandparents met and married but really did not “appreciate” what my family did or went through to become that married couple. As I grew older the stories meant so much more knowing that if the traditional “matchmaker” had not made the match of my grandparents my parents would have never met. While I examine all the aspects of a traditional Russian wedding we can see how it is similar...
