Humanistic and existential theories and dispositional theories are all similar because they all search for an understanding the importance of behavior based on the individuals personal perception of life. All these theories focus on conscious decision making, free will and abilities. According to Abraham Maslow he looked at the humanistic approach to personality as taking full advantage of opportunities available to them and explores new ideas that would improve their life.

...Voice Traffic Joseph Stozek DeVry University When thinking about WLAN technology there are many benefits that seem to make it a great and upcoming aspect in the networking world. Providing support for voice communications, telephone traffic is a big benefit of that. The WLAN is also a great benefit because it supports both data and voice traffic, making it less money because the two are combined. They offer all types of new applications and different types as well. Wireless PDA’s are a type of advantage to the WLAN as well. They make accessing voice and data much easier to access and more viable to use (Geier, 2003). When looking into disadvantages there are a few of those as well. They were not designed for streaming media, and will cause congestion in the network. Another big problem would be voice mobility. Since most phone users are much better at being more mobile than data users, it causes a problem as well. Most people have an easier chance when they are moving around talking, then they are at texting. It is so much easier sometimes to talk, than it is to type. A person can easily tell each other what is on there mind in a few minutes, when it might take a few more minutes to try and type it out. Time can easily be saved in just talking on the phone. Security over the WLAN would be a big disadvantage as well. So many people try and hack people over their wireless networks all the time. If you do nothing about making...

...Learning Team Reflection Week 4 How does the development of a contract administration plan affect a company’s business? A contract administration plan is critical to the success of a company that relies on complex contracts to conduct operations. A contract by definition is a binding agreement between two or more parties. The parties may be individuals, business entities, or a governmental entity. Before a contract is drawn up negotiations occur where one party offers a product or service under precise terms for a set fee. Most contracts cover a specific time frame. The bigger and more complex the product or service, the more a contract administration plan is necessary. The plan keeps detailed notes on milestones, deadlines, and the submission of any deliverables. The ultimate goal of a contract administration plan is to provide company’s involved in the contact agreements with maximum profit with minimal risk. The development of a contract administration plan affects a company’s business because it helps companies manage projects, original documents, costs, deadlines, and spending. Proper contract management “saves time and money when change orders are requested or claims or prepared.” (Cross,2012). The information found regarding preparing a contract administration plan, states that the company has the ability to focus on the major contract outputs and best practices. It is the road map to ensure that the company receives all that is stated in the contract from the outside...

...A Week Four Paper PHL/443 December, 16th, 2013 A Week Four Paper The questions posed this week were very interesting, assigning rights to machines and determining criteria’s if machines are conscious or thinking. Assigning rights to humans is one thing and even that has been debatable for hundreds of years, but now the conversation has transitions if we could how would we give machines rights. I think that anything that has rights needs to be able to think for themselves, to form opinions, and be active contributors in their rights. Machines are not thinking or capable of having or experiencing conscious experiences, which I feel, would allow them to have rights. Rights are a form of freedom and how do we give freedom to an object that we program, we give information to, and we can turn on and off at will. If and when the reality of The Jetson’s comes to life and I have a robotic maid that actively interacts dependently with my family and I throughout the day then I would have to consider transferring rights to him or her. As every other week in this course, week four has been very informative and mind bending for me specially the discussion questions with regards to the rights of intelligent machines, I believe for one to have rights one must be conscious and poses free will, and if in future intelligent machines become conscious then they do not need rights but regulating. The other topic which I found interesting was “what type of criteria may be established for...

...financing. This proved very lucrative for the company. With the end of World War II, society experienced increased demand for construction and forestry equipment. In 1951, the equipment financing subsidiary, Future Growth Inc. (FGI) purchased an equipment manufacturing company, which vertically integrated the subsidiaries operations. Over the next 67 years the company increased revenues and profits. Unfortunately, with the recent downturn in the American economy coupled with several natural disasters, FGI has for the first time experienced a decline in profits and was forced to lay off one-third of its workforce. Although residential home sales have dropped the health care industry is still experiencing healthy demand. The purpose of this paper is to provide recommendations to TMS for increasing revenue, achieving ideal production levels, determining how fixed and variable costs should be adjusted to maximize products and finally to identify methods to reduce costs. Since the economic decline FGI has repossessed more than 500 pieces of equipment. FGI has bundled the pieces together and has determined an average price for each piece. The present selling price is $1,732. At that price FGI could sell 182 units for an aggregate purchase price of $315,224. If FGI lowers the price to $1,634.3 they could sell 350 units for an aggregate purchase price of $572,005. Based on the data provided by...

...Why a School Week Should Only Be Four Days Have you ever wondered if a school week will be changed from a five day week to a four day week? Do you ever not want to go to school on monday because you haven’t had a enough time to get your homework over the weekend and you are worried you're going to get in trouble? A four day week is necessary for our children because the statistics show if we have a four day week they will achieve better results academically, better attendance, kids need more family time and students will have more time to complete their homework they didn’t get done. A four day week is needed in our country because the other countries have the statistics that supports them changing it. One reason people think Australia should change school to a four day week is in America about 100 schools use the four day system and 67% of 2,700 students prefer this system. People did research on this topic and they found that on average math scores increased by...

While during these three phases I will also observe the necessary financial statements and documents that need to be review so that I can make better decisions on all three phases. From this information that I have I will then analyze and review the information and make a sound decide that will they best strategy for improvements? I will not only focus on the goals for the clinic, but long term budget goals as well some short term goals if needed. Phase I: Capital Shortage There were two options that I chose to make cut costs to. The two options that I chose were to reduce the agency staff and changing the skill mix. I chose to reduce agency staff because “Reducing proportion of contract labor used to fill vacancies would save use money and among patient care workers would reduce costs, staffing nursing units and other patient care areas where take cuts as well. To me the salaries of agency contracted that are brought on are people that are getting paid twice as much as the other hospital staff. Also by reducing these personnel issues will then tremendously cut down the costs made toward the hospital. Bridging a working capital shortage is one of the strategies that can help increase the hospital’s revenue in many ways if there is a true concrete...

...Oceans, Hurricanes, and the Climate SCI 209 Your Name March 01, 2010 Introduction Natural disasters occurring from the climate change could be on the rise. Global warming has been rumored to be causing more hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, heavier monsoonal rains that cause major flooding, mud slides, and other disasters worldwide. A tropical cyclone, also referred to as hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones, depending on where in the world the cyclone is occurring, are one of the world’s grandest shows of energy provided by nature. Hurricanes are large, swirling, low pressure storms that have sustained winds of over 74 miles an hour and are formed over warm ocean waters (NASA, n.d.). The purpose of this paper is to discuss hurricanes and the effect that the ocean has on them. What Causes Cyclones? Tropical cyclones formed over the Atlantic or eastern Pacific Ocean are called hurricanes and only form in warm waters near the equator (NASA, n.d.). The warm, moisture rich air of these waters is the fuel that hurricanes need to get started and grow. The warm air rises up from near the ocean surface causing a low pressure area to form and air from surrounding high pressure areas rush in to fill the low. The new air that replaced the other begins to heat up and pick up moisture as it rises too. This process is repeated until the clouds build and begin to spin, eventually becoming a gigantic engine, forming lower pressures in its core and sucking up more and more warm, moist, air...

...Counselor Ethics and Responsibilities Jennifer P Coetzee PCN-505 May 18, 2016 Kendra Stewart Counselor Ethics and Responsibilities Section 1: Counselor Values There are so many different views in opinions when it comes to the topic of abortion. There is the religious point that it is wrong to have an abortion because of the ten commandment that states “Thou shall not kill.” All have heard this one whether atheist or religious. People’s right to choose abortion or not has been questioned for many years, as congress officials have tried on many occasions to illegalize this right. Then there is the other side of this opinion where so many feel it is the woman’s right to choose to have an abortion. A lot of people see this as a form of birth control. It is a woman’s choice to have an abortion completed, she may have goals in her life that pregnancy would prevent her from achieving these goals. Abortion: The Choice. (2010). New York, N.Y.: Films Media Group, [2008]. In my personal opinion, I would not advise abortion because I am someone who had an abortion before. My values were so against abortion for so many years, then I was in a situation where I chose abortion so I cannot advise someone else to have an abortion. I would have wanted someone to tell me what they went through after having an abortion. For me, it was coming out of a very bad marriage and finding out I was pregnant. I already had two children to support and had high risk pregnancies both times. I was worried...

The following questions explain the costing methods of the Super Bakery and what costing method system is the best process for the Super Bakery.

...Juvenile Delinquency and Juvenile Crime Jason Bailey CJA/204 9/5/2014 Freddy Stansbury Juvenile Processing The process in which a juvenile enters the justice system is relatively simple. It starts with an arrest by a law enforcement official. Other ways it can start is by a referral from a parent of a minor. Even schools, victims of the juvenile, and probation officers can make referrals as well. There are several factors to consider when a case officer makes a decision as to whether or not to detain and charge them, release them, or in some cases place them in a youth welfare program. The officer must make a determination based upon facts of the case and also the recommendations of parents or legal guardians. About fifty percent of all juvenile cases are heard informally and usually dismissed unless the circumstances are rather extreme. When a juvenile is arrested and detained, they cannot be allowed to remain in an adult facility for longer than six hours. They must then be moved to a juvenile secure detention facility or released to their legal guardian. At this point the juvenile will be seen through an informal hearing. In which the judge can either dismiss the case or make some stipulations for the juvenile to complete before the case is dismissed. Some of those things include restitution, mandatory curfew, school attendance, and drug rehabilitation if the juvenile is caught using drugs. If the case goes beyond an informal hearing, then a formal hearing will be...
