...Are you ever tired when waking up for school?Maybe even enough to want to just not go? Of course you are, almost always to be exact. This is something that is quite normal for all teens to experience. Being tired and going to a place where you learn on an average of 7 hour a day doesn't seem like a good mixture and thats because its not. Some people may argue that its better to just get school over with, but it can affect the education you receive while at school. Waking up for school is someone that no one wants to do and it also has many negative effects on the students; such as a less active brain, incident caused from not having enough sleep, and affects on the physical body and not just mentally First and most importantly a less active brain is something that's hard to live with, because it's one of the main causes of many injuries and things gone wrong because of sleep depression. 'Both the CDC and the pediatricians’ group cited significant risks that come with lack of sleep, including higher rates of obesity and depression and motor-vehicle accidents among teens as well as an overall lower quality of life.(www.Atlantic.com). Having later school times would reduce the risks of all of these problems. It would increase the amount of sleep received per night and would increase many of the factors to do with education for kids/teens. It can also help the teachers who teach the kids to be better at what they do....

...Writing my dreams after waking up was a very difficult task for me and I know many of the lucid dreamers hate doing this because that early morning time is often a busy one that’s why I will provide you a few alternatives here that will enable you to have lucid dreams without a need to keep a dream journal. Before looking at the alternative methods allow me to explain it to you why we actually keep record of our dreams.. Purpose of the Dream Journal Usually we only remember dreams that occurred to us a few minutes before waking up and sometimes we remember a little more but, till the time you come out from bathroom you would have forgotten them all unless you had an interesting one. There are people who would say that they don’t get dream at all but that’s not true, it is not that they are lying as they actually don’t know that they had dreams..why?..it is because they forget their dreams even before they are fully awake....

...Indian BPOs – Waking up to the Philippines opportunity 1. How has the global economic downturn, discussed in the opening profile and throughout this chapter, impacted jobs outsourcing in the BPO industry? Starting out as a mortgage crises in the United States the economic crisis spread globally and lead to a worldwide recession. In such a difficult time, companies need to reduce costs and improve their performance in order to remain competitive on the market. Obviously, Outsourcing provides many benefits, such as improvement of process performance, reduction of fixed costs, increased flexibility, greater focus on core competencies and strategic business operations. The BPO service market presents growth estimated in 10 to 20% in the period 2008-2009, particularly in the last two quarters of 2008 and first quarters of 2009. However, in the short term, companies might not consider outsourcing as a solution in a financial crisis due to upfront investment and lack of managerial capabilities. In the first place, companies’ primary goal is to survive. They won’t start new projects. Thus, in times of crisis, company prefer cost reduction and investment delays rather than BPO and Offshoring. Nevertheless, in the long term, the economic crisis would result in an increase in demand for BPO services once the economy starts recovering. Furthermore, delay of other projects in times of crisis and recession also contributes to the expansion in the BPO industry. Companies will want to...

...“Psychological Theories Represented In the Film – Waking Life” [Name of the Writer] [Name of the Institution] [Name of the Subject] [Date] “Psychological Theories Represented In the Film – Waking Life” Introduction The movie, Waking Life, is a profound manifestation of the connection between the real world and the dream world. The whole movie is Rotoscoped i.e. filmed with real characters but remade into animated scenes. It is a movie that has several scenes that are interrelated in meaning with one another. The different scenes also serve a purpose of helping the protagonist accept the invitation of God through his own free will. Most parts of the movie are so deep that they are hardly comprehensible and give vast meanings that can be interpreted independently through the eyes of the observers. However, one can easily say that the movie is based on the psychological and philosophical norms, in fact, most of the characters are even directly referring to the different psychological theories like nihilism, free will, dream consciousness etc. In this paper, the different theories in the movie, Waking Life, are discussed as represented through the narrative, story, characterization, and cinematography of the film. Discussion The three most exquisite elements of the film are its cinematography, the stellar soundtrack and the philosophical scenes which add to the viewers’ interest in the movie. The director, Richard Linklater, has filmed this movie with the use of the...

...Can you imagine waking up being a dog? When I woke up this morning, I was in the street along with three dogs around me, there were pieces of glass smashed everywhere. When I saw myself in the shattered pieces of glass, I was mesmerized to see myself as a dog and how my life was being a dog. I couldn’t believe myself, but when I was walking on the street I saw traffic lights that were purple, green and white but, I knew that the traffic light should be green, red, and yellow. Then I had this sense of smell that smelled like blood, it was coming from the corner of the street. I followed the sense as I got closer to the blood it smelled more blood. As I got there I saw a person lying on the floor I was certain that the blood was coming from that person I scream for help, but I could hear myself barking not screaming. However, I saw lots of people walking on the sidewalk, I ran there and I ask people to come with me there is a dead person. But when I realized I was barking.

...Students and Sleep Benjamin Franklin said, “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” But does this apply to teenagers? Many students between the ages of 13-18 are not getting the sleep they need to be prepared for school. My claim is that all IB schools should start at 10 am. Research in the 1990’s shows that teenager’s tendency to stay up late and wake up later is biologically determined (sleepfoundation.org). If students naturally stay up late then how can they be expected to wake up as early as they do to get to school while still being able to focus? By simply pushing back school start times by 2 hours we can relieve stress on students and allow them to become better rested. Teenager’s sleep cycles vary from...

...“Waking Life” is a philosophical, art film released in 2001. “Waking Life” was directed and produced by Robert C. Linklater. The film consisted of actors such as Wiley Wiggins, Ethan Hawke, Nicky Katt, Adam Goldberg, and Julie Delpy. This movie contains a unique element on how it was produced. This animated movie used advanced rotoscoping and digital technology to create scenes that seem to resemble an impressionistic painting. The film is first shot on a digital video and then traced over by animators creating a life-like, moving painting before your eyes. This type of imagery corresponds to the dream theme of the movie. Wiley Wiggins is the main character in “Waking Life”. Throughout the movie he is in a dream that he cannot get out of. In his “dream” he encounters different people who converse with him on different philosophical theories and dreams. He is constantly figuring out ways on how to return to reality but along the way he questions his existence and what consciousness is. This relates to the larger theme behind the movie. The larger theme alludes to the idea that our purpose of existence on earth is unknown and we have the power to question it all. This original script makes this movie very interesting. Instead of containing a consistent plot, it is mostly made up of a series of dialogues on different topics put together in one film. There is no narration in the film and many times you do not know where he is going and what he will be doing next. It...

...Waking up every morning with the same routine for 9 years was about to change. I had gone to a Catholic grade school my entire life until tenth grade when I began a public High School. Summer was over and I didn’t want the first day to come. Although I was excited for change I was anxious to see all the new faces and personalities I was about to run into. I had no friends going to my new school and I was so adapted to the same people, teachers, and 6 core classes that I had grown up with. Each day leading up to the first day I had so much doubt in myself. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to make friends and everyone already had a lunch table to sit at, unlike me. I was convinced that I was going to hate this change that was about to occur....

...In our second quarter of science this year, our extra credit project was to watch any NOVA program, and write a short summary about it. The NOVA program that I chose to watch was Cold Case: JFK. It is nearly an hour long video about what happened the day JFK was killed, and how he was killed, the weapons used, and then many other things involving a lot of forensic science. When I watched JFK get shot, I was so surprised and horrified at the same time, that I gasped out loud and felt sick to the stomach. When JFK was first shot, investigation shows he was shot from the back, and the second shot through the back of his skull, and when the bullet went into his skull and then exited upwards, a TON of blood, tissue, and brain matter exploded all over himself, Mrs. Kennedy, and the entire backseat. It was disgusting and cruel. What most interested me was how the modern day scientists told us that was supposed true was proved wrong when the Zapruder’s film was aired on television. Everyone originally thought the bullet came in from the front of JFK’s head, which is why his head went back, but when the video proved that he did not in fact get shot from the front, but the back, no one knew as to how his head moved to the back. The way that the scientists and gun specialists and others proved how the bullet entered was very interesting and clear, for even me, and it was very interesting to me, because when I’m older, I would like to follow a career path in forensic field. I had originally...

...restaurant and saw a memory of mine that was sitting at table 52. I asked my friend Kory to ask her if her name was Jessica. Jessica was a friend of mine from middle school. We lived on the same block but we kind of lived our own lives, she had her friends and I had mine, occasionally we would hang out and have fun but nothing more than that. As the years moved on so did we, she went her way in life and I went mine. After Kory came back with the news that it was her, I built up enough courage to go talk to her. It was the usual talk for people of haven’t seen each other for over ten years, awkward at first but comfortable after awhile. Before they left and after a few margaritas we exchanged phone numbers. I found out that she was recently divorced and had a three year old daughter named Blaise. After a few days she called me because she was tired of waiting on me to call. For the next couple of weeks we got to know each other better and slowly all my friends were disappearing because I was spending every waking moment with Jessica. Slowly being with Jessica I realized that I wasn’t living the life I was meant to live. I was meant to do more than party every night and just be a waste of space. I asked her and Blaise to move in with me and at first she was...

... II. Causes- Tax abatement ended in 2009, transportation and infrastructure costs are not going away and other countries have more attractive incentives to bring in higher margins. III. Systems affected- The whole upswing in bringing BPOs into India has been affected, it is no longer that attractive to bring your business into India when you can make much more money in the Phillipines with the same customer satisfaction. IV. Alternatives- If India wants to keep BPO’s around, they need to start flirting with the idea of re-instating the tax abatement as well as having the government pick up the transportation costs. V. Recommendations- If I am the decision maker in the Indian government, I do not want the BPO’s to pick up and move all their money to another country. So, I am implementing a lower tax bracket for these companies to remain in India, I am picking up the costs of transportation as incentives to stay in India. It always comes down to money and profitability for businesses, so I would keep India competitive to keep the Citibank’s and Intel’s here. Questions 1) How has the global economic downturn, discussed in the opening profile and throughout this chapter, impacted jobs outsourcing in the BPO industry? The economic downturn has helped India’s BPO industry, “world trade continues to grow, it has grown by 133 percent in the last 15 years” (Deresky, 2011). It has helped companies move operations overseas where they are able to capitalize on...
