...Do you really know all there is to know about the natural world? Why is it so important for us to connect to nature? When people are outside, I bet most of them do not take the time to actually take in all the nature that is around them. They don’t explore everything that the natural world has to offer. When you stop and take the time to explore and focus your attention on all the trees, flowers, or rocks you will discover there is so much more to nature than what you see. It is important to connect to the natural world because of the beautiful scenery you will have the privilege of seeing, it allows you to escape from daily pressures, and there is so much history you can learn from it. A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold and “Winter Creek” by Kathleen Dean Moore describes all of these reasons for why it is important to connect to the natural world in great detail. I love the example Kathleen Dean Moore gave...

...Identify the most important key recurring decisions that must be made effectively for KCC to be successful. In KCC’s functional organization, who had the authority to make these decisions? Who has the authority to make these decisions in KCC’s new divisionalized organization? Did KCC top management go too far in decentralizing the corporation? Did they not go far enough? Or did they get it just right? Why? Evaluate KCC’s new performance measurement and incentive system. Assuming that KCC will retain its new divisionalized organization structure, what changes would you recommend, if any? Why? Assume that the R&D function is to be decentralized (given to the divisions). Would this necessitate changes to KCC’s performance measurement and incentive system? If so, which and why? If not, why not?

...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...

...workplace it is important to keep a professional-client relationship. With this relationship it is only alright for a client to meet a professional in their office and nowhere else. Boundaries have to be made aware so there is no way that the client and professional can get confused about the relationship and what the professional does to help the client. Managing boundaries should be one of the first things that are stated to the client. The client should realize that the professional wants to help them but can’t go to any event or become socially aquainted to the clients. Neither the client nor professional should become friends and have a life outside of the office. In the video the client asked the professional to go for coffee because she felt as if the office was to stuffy and wanted to get some fresh air. The professional asked her why she felt as if that was a good idea to be sensitive to maybe her culture. He handled it ethically correct and told her how that might not be a good idea being that there could be boundaries being broken. I would prevent any boundaries being broken before it even happened by telling the client the boundaries. I would automatically state that it is not good for the professional and client relationship if we were to become friends and explain to them why it would not be a good idea to become friends in the professional relationship. If they were to ever invite me out of the outside of the office I would nicely decline and tell them why it would...

...Name____________ Time Management Stage one: Knowledge Time management - the analysis of how working hours are spent and the prioritization of tasks in order to maximize personal efficiency in the workplace Procrastination The discipline of time management is an important skill that needs to be learned early on. One of the biggest obstacles to overcome is procrastination. Procrastination is the problem of putting things off. We all seem to procrastinate on certain levels by making up excuses not to do something. The bad thing is that procrastination can be displayed in an every day lifestyle, which can effect us in achieving our goals. Procrastination can be the reason behind our failures Proverbs 10: 4 - 5 “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.” This verse contrasts being lazy with hard work. We need to live our lives for God by not being lazy but by working hard to serve Him. An unproductive lifestyle comes from procrastination Procrastination can lead to a bad lifestyle. It can result in getting bad grades, not showing your best work, and being unproductive. It is important to avoid making excuses and as you head towards your goal, you should pray that God gives you the persistence to achieve it without getting lazy. Underlying problems can be revealed by procrastination If we continue putting things off it can mean we lack discipline...

...“You is smart you is kind you is important“(The Help). In the movie the help it has a lot of tolerance which is ( The ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily) (Google) and intolerance which is (lack of toleration; unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respect contrary opinions or beliefs, persons of different races or backgrounds, etc) (Google) scenes. The movie also has a lot of racism scenes. In this essay I will tell you and show you why I think this movie is tolerance. I will also show you why I think it is also intolerance. Would you go against tolerance/intolerance or would you be with it. A big example of tolerance was the bus situation. The white bus driver had found out that the kkk had just killed a black man, and it was dangerous for the blacks but he didn’t care. He made all the blacks get off his bus, and took the white people close to there homes. He new that they where trying to hurt or kill blacks and he didn’t even try to help. He should’ve did the opposite and put the whites off. The whites where not in danger the blacks were. He should’ve took the blacks close to there homes for they could be safe. To me that also seemed racist. That the first tolerance scene ive showed you, there’s a lot more Another example of tolerance was hilly she was racist, and everyone could tell. She got almost every black maids in trouble. She numbers her toilet paper so she...

...flowing smoothly. One day, we were all going to be getting ready to go outside and play, since it was sunny and warm. My co-teacher, who works with the preschoolers, begins to get her children ready to go outside first, since most of them are able to get dressed by themselves. One of the children begins to grab everyone’s boots and coats and throw them into the center of the rug. My co-teacher sees this, gets down at the child’s level, looks him in the eyes, and says, “Why don’t you grab your boots and coat instead? Your friends are able to find theirs when they have finished using the bathroom.” This child then said, “But I can’t find them!” So my co-teacher then said, “Well, have you checked in your bag? I think I see a sleeve sticking out.” The boy looked up at her, smiled, and went and found his boots and coat and proceeded to put them on. My co-teacher then proceeded to tell the children to sit down on the rug and wait for their names to be called to line up at the door to go outside. When one of the children tried to go before their name was called, my co-teacher explained to him, “I’m sorry, but I did not call your name yet. You need to wait until you hear your name before you may line up.” One thing I really notice, if the use of clear positive directions, especially when it comes to transitions – this one in particular, where you have many children trying to get themselves ready to go outside and work off some energy, and some children can become anxious while...

...they feel there is no need for change. This is especially evident if it is a common thought that the organization is doing well. So why would you need change if you feel you are doing well? The main reason is that pressure from increasing competition, globalization, technological developments, and other forces has created an environment that rewards organizations that are capable of identifying trends and issues and responding quickly to them (Werner & DeSimone, 2012). With this thought, it is imperative that organizations are able to make the changes necessary to remain competitive and strive in challenging times. The important aspect of change is how the organization plans for the change. The organization needs to use planned interventions in order to ensure that the change is having the original positive impact. An intervention, or intervention strategy, can be thought of as the plan in which the organization intends to improve the organization and how it intends to implement the needed changes. These interventions need to be studied hard to ensure that they will have the impact that is intended. In Process consultation, which is generic to OD intervention, the focus is exclusively on the diagnosis and management of personal, interpersonal, and group processes (Sadhu, 2009). Many times it is common practice to hire outside firms that will study the...
