Descriptive Essay About Grandmother - 1354 Words

We hopped on the plane at MSY and smiles were from ear to ear. My father, sister, and I were so excited to finally be flying to Denver to visit our family. Ever since I was little, I have loved airplanes. There is something about having two to three hours to myself being able to do whatever I wanted. I also loved being served my favorite beverage, Ginger Ale, and the best salty snack duo- peanuts and pretzels. For all my eighteen years of life, I have flown on planes almost every year. The majority of the flights have been spent flying mid-west to Denver to visit my paternal grandparents that live with my aunt, uncle, and two cousins. It became a family tradition to go there every year because sadly as we all know, grandparents seem to†¦show more content†¦The visits to their house became different. It was no longer about catching up and visiting; it became about cherishing every last moment we had with her while she remembered us. It then turned into visiting them for a lit tle bit and making sure we did not overwhelm them. I could only imagine how they felt every time all the grandkids, their children, and their children’s spouses came to visit them. It must have been a lot to take in each time when they only get visits once a year from around twenty people. The trips would last about a week and we would try to do different activities every day. It got to the point where we would only see our grandparents twice a day. We would tell them hi in the morning and then see them again at our big family dinner. The summer of 2016, my sister, father, and I wanted to get to Colorado before everyone else. We wanted more relaxed time with our grandparents before twenty more people came and overwhelmed their home. We would still have a sit down family dinner with them and cherish every second we had with them.

Essay on The Theories of the Salem Witch Trials - 1135 Words

The Theories of the Salem Witch Trials The Salem Witch trials and what caused them is very debatable. Some theories lead to Rye poisoning from bread to even people faking it. The most believable claim is that people were faking it. Everyone had a motive and they all just wanted to save themselves. It was a time when people were selfish and only cared for themselves. This time in Salem was a troubling time, making it seem likely that satan was active (Linder). The townsfolk are believed to have been suffering from a strange psychological condition known as Mass Hysteria (Wolchover).

Something like a winter fuel shortage would have made for a fairly miserable colonial home, and the higher the misery quotient, the more likely you are to be seeing witches. (Wolchover). Another, but highly unbelievable theory is that witchcraft actually existed. Twenty people and along with two dogs were executed for the crime of witchcraft in Salem. One person was pressed to death under a pile of stones for refusing to testify. While many people in the period believed that witches had supernatural powers given to them by the devil, many of the better-educated people acknowledged that witchcraft was practiced, but any spells that were cast only had power in the minds of the witch and those that thought themselves bewitched (Krystek). Cotton Mather, a respected Puritan minister who was there the time of the trials, wrote an account of them for the governor. His essay clearly shows that he believed that some of the people who were hung in Salem were indeed guilty of using black magic to torment the afflicted girls (Krystek). To see if anyone was a so called â€Å"witch†, physical evidence was considered.

To adapt different cultures and resources across the globe, global teams are formed that enhances organisations performance by aiming to acquire experts irrespective of place and location. While managing them from one centre point also reduces cost of travelling and saves time of managements. Global teams can be defined as performing global tasks that are acknowledged by organisations and create team members as a team to perform tasks(Mickels, 2013). The teams are accounting for making decisions or implementing any new idea that are significant to the firms global strategy. The global teams normally communicate through digital means and utilises techn ological communication systems which helps them to unite with each other in spite of having geographical barriers. To gain competitive advantage, global companies have to adopt a coordinated global team to connect critical resources and data those are extended across several geographical places. In order to assist organisations to operate and integrate global teams in dispersed areas, many organisational mechanisms are developed and are available in todays world(Boyraz, 2014). Figure: Challenges faced by organisations Source: (Economist Intelligence Unit Limited, 2017) To exploit global economies and to enhance the scope for maximising transmits of information, it becomes difficult for managers to manage them virtually and in restricted area of performance. The company that masters the global management rules the industry. Over the past few years, many researchers have identified various challenges faced by organisations, as shown in the figure above, while managing global teams and many mechanisms have also failed to overcome those challenges which restrict them to manage global teams effectively(Wederspahn, 2011). This research paper will identify those challenges as well as several failed mechanisms used for managing global teams while providing with appropriate examples. This report will also discuss the need for global team management along with providing various scopes for its implementation. Project Objective The objective behind managing global teams can be various depending on the requirement and presence of organisation and challenges while managing them are also consistent. Many companies try to reach customers in different countries and to do business with them, companies requires building teams present in those areas in order to gain knowledge about marketing present there. Hence they appoint employees who gains proficiency in those regions to form a globalised team. With international diversity and bringing different cultures and perspectives together, organisational strategic goal of global emergence is fulfilled. To gain competitive advantage is very necessary in order to sustain the market and to enlarge business diversely is important for organisations to develop expansion in growth oriented way. Along with it multicultural teams in global organisation is more elastic and has lesser amount of prejudice which enables to appreciate diverse cultures(Hubbard, 2016). There are few c hallenges here faced by the companies like communications become difficult as different countries follow dissimilar languages and to understand each other virtually becomes complex. Miscommunications are created that can trigger considerable problems and generation of conflicts. Although employees in big companies are trained according to the requirements and are selected on the basis of fundamental situations, still to handle all the circumstances becomes convoluted. For example, a manager who has immigrated recently can lack knowledge of reallocation and adjustment troubles employees may have. Whereas if a local manager is appointed, that person may effectively manage the workplace and also assist the core team members gain knowledge about their local areas. Thus culturally assorted team allocation can face different types of issues precisely(Nelay, 2015). To work with team members in a diversified group system, the members become more sanguine about their company. Study made by some authors states that employees of global teams possess positive feeling about their organisation than identical groups(Cityholic Media, 2016). If diverse employees are merited or appointed it makes a feeling of unbiased nature of company among employees as they could see promotions and recruitments based on merits rather than race or ethnicity. By introducing globalised team in the company, the work atmosphere also becomes enriching and motivating as each one gets to gain knowledge about different cultures and new methods(Randall, 2017). Challenge that seems promising here is that not everybody in organisation are satisfied with diversified culture and if by possibility a culture oriented group gains high merits, they may make false assumptions about partisan of their culture. Thus becomes challenging for the management to make a balance between all culture s so that a sense of partiality is not developed. The leaders in global organisations are expected to be fair and employees looks for prime leaders who can manage each chain with prominence. In global teams the leaders are generally from remote areas and since the employees are unaware of their taste and preferences, anxiety intensities are high on score and team members look out for ways in which they could please their leader. The employees or members in different location become keen listener and eager to gain information about the thoughts and requirements of their leader. This also makes the employees become honest when any mistake is made as they get worried about their impression in front of the leader. Thus global team leaders possess important responsibility to keep intact the team of organisation with their wit and expertise(Patel, 2017). The only challenge observed in this area is that although global leaders are classified superiorly, sometimes the excess demand from employees to diverse the knowledge becomes resistant f or them to follow. They may also start to ignore their leader by making excuse of language and knowledge barrier. Thus the leaders part becomes crucial in delegating works only after acquiring knowledge about the newly diversified area and people working in those regions. The leaders can also be picked by the management according to the leaders credibility on the work and its ability to perform the work while maintaining comprehensive distance. Strategies required by organisations to manage global teams prepare managers to make future predictions. The roles are delegated to global managing leaders according to the work required making systematic process to fulfil the goal of the company. For this integrated approach, it is required by the management to gain intellect through skill and experience to provide colleagues with support and developmental practises. Failing it can also give fallback of the organisation and the goal of gaining competitive advantage through globalisation may prove adverse. Thus organisations must implement enhanced technologies to make regular communications with their team members to make interconnectivity easy and continuous. The sensible management along with business growth strategy can implement their plan by involving talent collected from different parts of the world and utilise their knowledge of managing as their culture may possess superior knowledge(Marcos, 2014). One major objective to study about challenges in managing global teams is to find out legal and cross cultural challenge that are faced by organisations. To work with many countries, organisations are bound to follow many legal and governmental regulations for which lots or paper work is required. It is a time consuming process and involves engaging outer people into companys internal affairs(Rebecca Heller, 2010). For example, a company that exports materials to many countries and requires setting its subsidiaries in those exporting countries may require to present the organisational structure and informations to the government and legal lawyers of other countries. The structure or the code which is followed in one country may differ from other countries. Thus chances of getting business rejection due to dissimilar way of proceeding are possible at any course of the business. Also sharing informations with other country member may prove dangerous as people will always try to support their home country and may keep the individual responsibility secondary. Tendency of sharing internal informations with other competitors are also possible which is one big challenge for todays management. Thus companys requires treading cautiously while appointing members in their globalised networking branches. The company must appoint people only after getting sufficient knowledge about them and their intellect. To share informations with other team members must also be made after severe consideration so that if any leakage is faced, it does not harm the base of the organisation(Randall, 2017). Project Scope Figure: Challenges faced by organisations while managing global teams Source: (Economist Intelligence Unit Limited, 2017) Miscommunication Challenge The scope of this research paper reflects to gain awareness behind the challenges faced after implementing globalisation in the company. This paper will make research by applying different situations and the problems leaders face in their global management. To be successful in the global economy and gain brand recognition, companies are getting more relied upon geologically dispersed workforce. The managers who lead global teams have to face several challenges and to create successful work groups becomes difficult when other people working in the some space belong to different cultures(Marcos, 2014). Miscommunication and misunderstandings creates deterioration in routine works while generating distrust for the company. Emotional disconnections are immensely observed in global teams as compared to the workplace where social distance is short. Members working in workplace of same country feel close and congenial and thus results in good team work. To align work with co workers becomes difficult who are geographically separated and managements have to struggle to build up an effective interaction. Therefore, mitigating social distance becomes prime challenge for management of global companies. Balancing The Teams While managing global teams, the structural aspects influencing social distance are number of sites where team members are working and locations of their workplace. Along with it number of members who needs to be managed is also important to be considered. Power of the team leader plays an important role here. For example if a company is situated in Australia and its other branches at United States and Germany, there may be a sense that stronger country may have more power. The imbalance related here might bring negativity as individuals in larger group may feel antipathy toward the minority group(Gupta, 2001). The superior holders may feel that the latter may contribute less than their share of work and on the other hand minority groups may consider that majority group is commanding through the voice and power they have. Often a feeling of imbalance makes work and cultural in-groups and out-groups in organisation. The leader can overcome this challenge by encouraging sensitivity to differences and look ways to connect the groups to form a unity(McTeague, 2014). For example if a person who is leading a corporation in a country with different culture, the person can make arrangements in the company for cultural programmes and events. In the events, the moral principles and ethics that can build a good impression on employees can be represented and shown in attractive ways. Also the company may introduce different ways in day to day workings that brings sense of their cultural acceptance of present employees among other co workers(Roper, 2015). The regular encouragement among employees must be made by reminding them the core purpose of the business and direct energy toward organisational and corporate unit goals. The leader can also highlight periodically about how everyones effort fits into the organisations overall strategy towards advancement in its market position. For example, a global leader may organise a weekly conference in which merits are given to the employees according to their work performance and by reviewing their work, the employees may get enthusiastic to earn more merits. The merits may also comprise a category in which group coordination and collectives is reviewed to enhance workers level of collective focus. Enhancement of work interest in teams can also help in surpassing the competitors(Champion, 2015). Geographical Distance Challenge To eliminate social distance, the team members must have a tendency to interact and understand the feelings of fellow members which may comprise work or personal matters. Since geographically dispersed teams do not face each others regularly, they may lack mutual understanding(McCafferly, 2016). Global leaders must make sure that they build a system of deliberate meetings either verbally or virtually so that team members get connected with their leaders and can inform their leader about any unforeseen problem without hesitation. The challenge faced by leaders is to balance their participation to make sure their inclusion in the teams and not commandment. Sometimes the leaders are needed to get directive in nature so that any false notion among employees is eliminated but other times the leading managements have to make sociable relation with the employees(Zynczak, 2012). Since team members belongs to different cultures they may lack fluency in language and this problem must be antici pated by the management and if they are supportive in nature, the employees in global divisions may feel comfortable to work with their team leaders. While adapting a new culture, the global team leaders have to make assumptions regarding the changed behaviour and pattern of the society for which the leader might require stepping back, listening, watching the team members and then after manage according to their behaviour. Team leader might ask questions that could resolve their problem and anticipate any challenge or need of supplementary resources. This process may also help global leader understand the members insight about how they feel as regards to accomplishing the job(Roper, 2015). Technological Challenge Technological and connectivity challenge is still faced by the companys while managing global teams although technology has seemed to developed immensely in todays world. The mode of connectivity and communicating must be considered carefully by the management as any hindrance in it can increase social distance among team members(Rebecca Heller, 2010). Nowadays videoconferencing has enabled rich communication among organisations and people through which both emotional and contextual information could be perceived. E- Mailing is also very fine mode of communicating digitally which also ensures recording of data. To select appropriate technology to manage teams is an important decision that requires to be taken in a thought-out manner which could fulfil the requirements of connecting with all global members with ease. For instant conversations, digital communicators prove to be the best along with engaging social Medias where parties situated worldwide can be approached. To present phy sically in other countrys departments, the leaders might require travelling or appointing any local person to handle the situation on companys behalf. Therefore to choose between the modes of connection i.e. instant or time taking, becomes challenging for global leaders(Gupta, 2001). For example, if a team covers multiple time zones and requires communicating during inconvenient times of the day, telephoning or video conferencing might not prove beneficial. During a day time communication can be made but at night hours, not every members might be present. Thus appointing a permanent and local team leader would prove to be a good idea. On the other hand if delicate information and confidential information needs to be shared, team leaders might need to make distant travelling. Instant technologies are valuable in managing teams but before persuading it the opportunities and affects must be acknowledged by organisations to get efficient and uninterrupted interpersonal dynamics. Literature Review Figure: Major challenges recognised in global team management Source: (Architexa , 2017) In literature, the challenges relating global team management have been reviewed by many authors who point out major challenges that are faced by a globalised company in their long run. Cultural barrier brings in miscommunication and affects inter connectivity among team members and builds gap between working criteria and ultimate goal of the company(CultureWizard, 2016). The members of different countries may possess different work habits and dressing style that makes a possibility of in acceptance in organisations. The challenge regarding cultural difference has been considered greatly by researchers that suggests finding preventive methods to overcome this challenge as it has affected many companies severely in recent surveys made by them(CultureWizard, 2016). Team leaders require global business skill development as it is demanded immensely for gaining competitive advantage and superior branding. While making global teams in international countries, it becomes difficult for the m anaging team as they may not understand the importance of new ventures goal initially. To build well-built formation, the base requires being strong and operating in foreign country might prove more challenging in initial stages of formation where new countries culture and governmental rules are unknown(Anthony C. Klotz, 2013). The base company or the companys headquarters are responsible for managing other subsidiaries. The challenge here seen is in making their decisions for foreign based subsidiaries as solution to their problem might seem easy from distant country than applying it on their subsidiaries. Thus different policies and management structures are required to be followed by managements so that none of their global teams face difficulties in facing them. Another challenge that managers faces are to make each team member participate equally in fulfilling companys goal. Since geographical barrier is persistent, to digitally convey with them can become formal and lack a sen se of belonging sometimes(Cornell University , 2010). Conclusion Based on the analysis made on the above report, the global team managers who want to improve their global team effectiveness needs concentrating challenges relating communication barriers, knowledge sharing across geological contexts, managing cultural difference, organising time schedules and attentiveness. To manage global teams becomes critical job of managements, and managers play a key role in assisting and training global team members to develop communication practices that promote a sagacity of alleged proximity, trust and identification. The difference in perception about their team leaders and managements effectiveness is the major threat that companys face and to make other co members believe in them is biggest challenge(Cornell University , 2010). Culture based challenge requires leaders to implement skills and develop intellect in order to manage cultural diversity and create global mindset while selecting team members. Many authors suggest making teams in a culturally di stributed manner that could provide more homogeneous kind of work and enhance companys performance through divergent thinking. Innovations are introduced in operations from throughout the world and thus different perceptions are brought together in global teams. In literature, debates concerning the impacts of diversified organisations on team performance are been consistent(Marcos, 2014). Many organisations seem to perform profoundly in global markets as compared to the organisations working in restricted area. Those global companies sets an example of efficient management and proves that if a companys strategic formulation are made after gaining thoughtful consideration, can prove beneficial for the firm. The above report gives evidence of literature showing the challenges that organisations faces in globalising their operation and to overcome those challenges, researchers have made studies that can assist the global companies while making global strategies.

This shows descent with alteration as the fit persons passed on their traits to their offspring doing development. 2. Common ascendant – Finches from Galapagos Islands showed strong versions to their single isolated home grounds. yet are really closely related ( different beak forms ) which shows a common ascendant. Adaptation to environment shows struggle for being. 3. Comparative biochemistry and familial grounds – DNA composing provide grounds of the descent of related species–the familial codification is the nexus to hereditary species. As species evolve their familial codifications acquired somewhat different familial codifications. Familial analysis shows worlds and apes are closely related with 96 % cistrons in common – the more closely related the more cistrons in common. ?6 ) In one sentence each. depict the followers ; A ) One positive consequence of direct unreal choice.Creation of new farm animal or harvests with coveted traits. increasing nutritionary content. increasing quality. or opposition to weedkillers.B ) One negative consequence of direct unreal choice.Herbicide-tolerant GMF’s will by chance crossbreed with wild weeds and reassign weedkiller tolerance cistrons from harvests to weeds.C ) One negative consequence of indirect unreal choice.Indirectly impacting development by altering the environment around the universe ; Pollution. clime alteration A ; habitat devastation all change choice force per unit areas on species. ?7 ) Explain how natural choice could bring forth the modern-long-necked camelopard from short-necked ascendants. Lamarck proposed the thought on how giraffes couldn’t obtain nutrient ( unable to make higher ) which left giraffe’s with longer cervixs survive and reproduce. While short-necked camelopards died off before being able to reproduce. due to nutrient restrictions. Since a longer cervix is determined genetically. the longer-surviving camelopard passed this trait more often.

Dictators essays

Dictators essays I believe that the way that dictators come to power is by showing a lot of nationalism. As they try to come to power they get the people to think that they will bring the best to the country. Once they are in power they use the army to control the citizens, the army doesnt fight back because they are being paid well. That causes more people to join the army and eventually the nation is controlled by the dictator and its army. Some people might think it is good because the county is developing faster and is getting more territory. And they dont care that with that you bring a lot of death. Then there are the people that think that it is very wrong to do what they do but because they have no way to stop it because of lack of power, they just learn to live with it. Another way dictators come to power is, if they have a lot of money and they control the economy of the country. They use that to make the people cooperate. And in others they dictator or leader makes the people have a lot o f nationalism so the people want him to stay In power, to be able to bring more power to the country. And some times the people just dont know that that leader is going to become a dictator so they put him in power and when it is his time to leave he uses the army as his own body guards. ...

Satisfaction Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Satisfaction - Essay Example The other patients had diets that could not satisfy the purpose of the research. To this extent I can authoritatively note that the results of the survey are valid and reliable to the extent that they are an accurate representation of the patient satisfaction. The survey questions were categorized on a scale of 1 to 5. The scale ratings connotations were as follows; The average satisfaction rate was 5/5 though there were disparities among the patients in terms of the level of fulfillment. The quality of food was rated, as the highest score with an average of 5 that was a 100% approval. Most of the patients noted that they had enjoyed the breakfast meal provided in the morning, but had certain reservations concerning the timing. Close to 80% of the patients noted that they liked the menu being served in the hospital. The workers, especially the tray passers received a 100% approval rating with most of the patients, noting that they were the best caregivers. I found out that most patients with dementia, cancer or diabetic patients did not enjoy the meal as the regular patients. I asked the patients to give their opinion concerning the food that was being provided in the hospital and the feedback had interesting outcomes. Seven of the patients noted that the food in the hospital was better compared to the others. Four of the patients noted that th e food in the hospital was worse compared to other healthcare facilities. The remaining one patient did not have an opinion and therefore could not make a comparison. I believe taste and preference for food cannot be homogenous and therefore cooking for many people can only be standardized. The average stay for the patients in the hospital is not more than five days and to the extent the patients are only provided with a week’s menu. Every patient is provided with a week’s menu upon arrival. A number of patients complained of the soup not being hot, however, the time the soup is cooked and when it is served takes a

Concept of beauty Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

Concept of beauty - Essay Example According to Winckelmann, Greek painting and sculpture was not too preferred or admired. However, the few who admired had great taste, leading to the endorsement of the works of Correggio in making the windows that covered the royal stables in Stockholm (Winckelmann, 3). There was an endorsement of some foreign artists who introduced foreign designs such as the Saxony. These foreigners had great tastes in their work and incorporated natural beauty, leading to the endorsement of their works that led to their firm establishment in Greek land (Winckelmann, 3). The strategy of gathering and display of great international artworks was used in the perpetuation of art, though it was brought down by the great works of Greek art masters that were imitated by many other artists in their artworks and sculpture (Winckelmann, 5). Winckelmann describes nature as the source of the purest art that was further advanced by many artists to increase tastes and preferences. He termed these types of artis ts as lucky, thereby asserting that good tastes in natural beauty originated from ancient Greek nature and history (Winckelmann, 5). ... This is portrayal of the perfect rules of art. Winckelmann emphasizes that there are clear negligence in any of the works by Greek artists, such as the addition of the dolphin to Medicean Venus combined with the playing children (Winckelmann, 7). Connoisseurs and imitators describe nature beauty as the most beautiful in the Greek masterpieces with some perfect additional forms of beauty (Winckelmann, 7). The ancient artworks are described as made by the mind lone, as per the teachings of an ancient interpreter of Plato. Winckelmann described the most beautiful being resembled of the Greek body as it resembled his/her sibling (Winckelmann, 7). The design of the Greek clothing was in accordance to the formative beauty of nature (Winckelmann, 9). According to Burke, artistic tastes and preferences depend on the reasoning levels in each individual (Burke, 19). He stated that there is diversity in reasoning, on the concept of beauty, though there are standards of reasoning and taste that are similar in all human creatures. On Burke’s argument to contrast beauty ideology to the concept of the sublime, he beauty as taking a hold on reason, passion or taste in order to maintain ordinary or natural correspondents of life (Burke, 19). This meant the definition of the beauty concept as dependent on the truth or falsehood in the terms of natural beauty. According to Burke, there is the settlement of certain maxims of right reasoning in the most ignorant humans, in the terms of beauty tastes and preferences. There must be improvement of the rude science of ignorance by the learned, through a system (Burke, 20). Difference in opinion is considered to have no important consequences due to the logic of taste,

All About Maps Essay What are maps? Maps are the world reduced to points, lines, and areas, using a variety of visual resources: size, shape, value, texture or pattern, colour, orientation, and shape. A thin line may mean something different from a thick one, and similarly, red lines from blue ones. How do maps represent reality? A photograph shows all objects in its view; a map is an abstraction of reality. The cartographer selects only the information that is essential to fulfil the purpose of the map, and that is suitable for its scale. Maps use symbols such as points, lines, area patterns and colours to convey information. Why are maps important? A map gives a miniature picture of a very large space. A map is a guide to a space you have not encountered before. Maps have distance, mountains, rivers, and shapes of places or destinations. With a map, one does not have to depend on local directions. For a small price, it is a direction finder and a dependable way to take a journey. What are atlases? An atlas is a collection of maps in book form. Atlases are made for different regions and areas, and are prepared for desk use or travel use. A travel atlas is usually packaged for easy use during a trip, often with spiral bindings so it can be folded flat, and with maps at a large zoom so that they can be easily consulted on the go. A desk atlas features sizes and bindings that are typical for reference books: usually a paperback or hardcover format. Lines of latitude These are imaginary lines that circle the world in an east-west direction. They tell you how far north or south a place is from the Equator. They are drawn parallel to the Equator. There are five main lines of latitude. They are the Equator, the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn, the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle. Lines of longitude Longitude is the angular distance, measured in degrees, east and west of the Prime Meridian, which is at 0o. These are imaginary lines that run across the Earth’s surface in a north-south direction, from the North Pole to the South Pole. Legends and symbols Since a map is a reduced representation of the real world, map symbols are used to represent real objects. Without symbols, we wouldnt have maps. Both shapes and colours can be used for symbols on maps. A small circle may mean a point of interest, with a brown circle meaning recreation, red circle meaning services, and green circle meaning rest stop. Colours may cover larger areas of a map, such as green representing forested land and blue representing waterways. To ensure that a person can correctly read a map, a Map Le

Drowning :: essays research papers

Drowning is the second leading cause of injury deaths of infants and children younger than 15 years old in the United States. I know many of you may have small children and relatives so this may be of some interest to you. A personal experience happened to me when I was around seven years old. I still can remember it like yesterday. This incident almost cost me my life, I was disobedient and it still has a big effect on me now. This little act of mine caused a lot of stress to many people, I was seven years old and at the time I was the only child. I stayed with my mother and my step-dad. We lived in the trailer parks; I was at the babysitter’s house and she had two teenage sons. One was named Tim and the other Derrick, and I wanted to be like them. It was a hot summer day, and Tim and Derrick went swimming at the pool up at the front of the trailer park. I asked the babysitter could I go she said, â€Å"NO!† This made me very upset because I couldn’t go to the pool with her sons. She told me the reason why I couldn’t go was because she was in charge of me and she wasn’t going to be up there watching me. I wasn’t really caring about what she was talking about. She went into the kitchen and was making me some lunch while I was on the sofa. After lunch was ready I ate all my food and told her that I was going outside to play with the dog. I went out to play with Face; she was a full breed pit bull, but she liked me. After about an hour of being bored outside playing by myself, I began to think of a way I could sneak to the pool. I went inside the house without being seen and put on my swimming trunks. Running as fast as I could I left out the house and sprinted to the pool. I was so happy I was finally at the pool, so I walked around the pool once and took off my shoes and shirt. Not knowing I was at the deep end of the pool I ran and jumped into the pool. Straight to the bottom I went. All of a sudden in one blink my fun turned into a scare. It was the water and me and I didn’t know how to swim. So I was gasping for air all I could see

Jaded sullenness Essay

Louisa is described as â€Å"struggling through the dissatisfaction of her face, there was a light with nothing to rest upon, a fire with nothing to burn, a starved imagination keeping life in itself somehow† this shows that because she has not been sang nursery rhymes or told fairy tales etc. that she has been mentally affected and a part of her is dying, and crying out to be ‘fed. ‘ The theme of fire is quite common, she has been described as fire a few times so far, the dying embers of fire represent her dying hopes of happiness, and the fires of Coketown chimneys that are frequently hidden beneath smoke represent her inward passions, and her emotions which she hides beneath a passive fai ade. Louisa was brought up on her father’s â€Å"facts† scheme. She was taught nothing but facts because her father did not think she needed imagination or fancy. This has made her unable to express her emotions and ignorant of how to act in relationships, she seems almost dead inside and is described as having â€Å"Jaded sullenness. † Dickens also states that she â€Å"Would have been self- willed†¦ but for her upbringing† which I think is how Dickens generally tries to bring her across throughout the book and that her upbringing had a huge impact on her and affected her very strongly. When we are first introduced to Louisa she is peeking in at the circus, â€Å"what did he behold but his own metallurgical Louisa, peeping with all her might through a hole in the deal board. † this is symbolic and shows that she is longing to experience more than just facts and science that she has been brought up with. Her father believes in teaching children â€Å"Nothing but facts† because he figures that you will never need fancy or imagination in the real world. She instinctively seeks out fun and fancy whenever she can, Dickens brings her across as a model reason why her father’s â€Å"facts facts, facts! † idea is not a good one. After she is caught peeking into the circus her father repeats, â€Å"What would Mr Bounderby say?† this affects Louisa and makes you wonder who Mr Bounderby is. Mr Bounderby is a powerful citizen of Coketown, he is a greedy capitalist and his name is slang for ‘cad’ which is what he is. He is attracted to Louisa and wants to marry her. He repulses Louisa and when he kissed her she looked away and rubbed her cheek for 5 minutes, when her brother, Tom says â€Å"You’ll rub a hole in yo ur face† she says that if he cut it out with a penknife, she wouldn’t cry.

Overview of the Children of Helen of Troy

Overview of the Children of Helen of Troy   In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy was the most beautiful (mortal) woman in the world, the Face That Launched a Thousand Ships. But what was it like having her as a mother? Was she a Mommie Dearest nightmare or a doting dame†¦or somewhere in between? Hermione the Heartbreaker Helen’s most famous child is her daughter, Hermione, whom she had with her first husband, Menelaus of Sparta. Her mother abandoned little Hermy to run off with the Trojan Prince Paris; as Euripides tells us in his tragedy Orestes: She was â€Å"the little daughter she had left behind when she sailed off with Paris to Troy.† Orestes, Helen’s nephew, says that, while Helen was â€Å"away† and Menelaus was chasing her down, Hermione’s aunt Clytemnestra (Helen’s half-sister) raised the little girl. But Hermione was fully-grown by the time Telemachus paid Menelaus a visit in the Odyssey. As Homer recounts, â€Å"He was sending Hermione as bride to Neoptolemus, son of Achilles, that breaker of ranks of men, for he had promised her to him, and sworn an oath at Troy, and now the gods brought it about.† The Spartan princess was quite the looker, just like her mom- Homer claims her â€Å"beauty was golden Aphrodite’s†- but that marriage didn’t last. Other sources have different accounts of Hermione’s marriage. In Orestes, she’s promised to Neoptolemus, but Apollo proclaims that her cousin Orestes- who holds her hostage for her father’s good behavior in the play- will wed her. Apollo tells Orestes, â€Å"Furthermore, Orestes, your Fate declares that you will marry the woman at whose throat you are holding your sword. Neoptolemus, who thinks that he will marry her, will not do so.† Why is that? Because Apollo prophesies Neoptolemus will kick the bucket at the god’s sanctuary of Delphi when the young man goes to ask for â€Å"satisfaction for the death of Achilles, his father.† Hermione the Home-Wrecker? In another of his plays, Andromache, Hermione has become a shrew, at least as it related to how she treated Andromache. That woman was the widow of the Trojan hero Hector, enslaved after the war and forcibly â€Å"given† to Neoptolemus as his concubine. In the tragedy, Andromache complains, â€Å"My lord abandoned my bed, the bed of a slave, and married the Spartan Hermione, who now torments me with her cruel abuse.† Why did the wife hate her hubby’s slave? Hermione accuses Andromache â€Å"of using drugs of magic powers against her, of making her barren and of making her husband despise her.† Andromache adds, â€Å"She says I’m trying to force her out of the palace so that I can take over as its rightful mistress.† Then, Hermione proceeds to mock Andromache, dubbing her a barbarian and making fun of her plight as her husband’s slave, cruelly quipping, â€Å"And so, I can speak to you all as a free woman, indebted to no one!† Andromache fires back that Hermione was as much of a shrew as her mom: â€Å"Wise children must avoid the habits of their evil mothers!† In the end, Hermione regrets her heinous words against Andromache and her sacrilegious plots to pull the Trojan widow from the sanctuary of Thetis (Neoptolemus’s divine grandmother), violating the right of sanctuary Andromache had invoked by clinging to Thetis’s statue. An undercover Orestes arrives on the scene, and Hermione, fearful of her hubby’s retribution, pleads with him to help her get away from her husband, whom she thinks will punish her for plotting to kill Andromache and her kid by Neoptolemus.   Hermione beseeches her cousin, â€Å"I beg you, Orestes, in the name of our mutual father, Zeus, take me away from here!† Orestes agrees, claiming Hermione actually belonged to him because they were engaged before her father promised her to Neoptolemus, but Orestes was in a bad way- having killed his mom and being cursed for it- at the time. At the end of the play, not only does Orestes take Hermione away with him, but he also plots to ambush Neoptolemus at Delphi, where he’ll kill the king and make Hermione his wife. Off-screen, they get married; with hubby number two, Orestes, Hermione had a son named Tisamenus. The kid didn’t have such good luck when it came to being a king; the descendants of Heracles kicked him out of Sparta. Under-the-Radar Rugrats What about Helen’s other children? Some versions of her story feature her abduction at an early age by the Athenian king Theseus, who’d sworn a pact with his BFF Pirithous that each of them would abduct a daughter of Zeus. The poet Stesichorus claims that Theseus’s rape of Helen produced a little girl, Iphigenia, whom Helen gave to her sister to raise to maintain her own virginal image; that was the same girl whom her purported father, Agamemnon, sacrificed to get to Troy. So Helen’s daughter may have been murdered to get her mother back. Most versions of Helen’s tale, though, feature Hermione as Helen’s only child. In the eyes of the heroic Greeks, that would’ve made Helen a failure at her one and only job: producing a male child for her husband. Homer mentions in the Odyssey that Menelaus made his illegitimate son Megapenthes his heir, noting that â€Å"his son [was] the dearly beloved child of a slave, for the gods, gave Helen no more issue, once she had borne that lovely girl Hermione.† But one ancient commentator says that Helen had two kids: â€Å"Hermione and her youngest-born, Nicostratus, a scion of Ares.† Pseudo-Apollodorus confirms, â€Å"Now Menelaus had by Helen a daughter Hermione and, according to some, a son Nicostratus.† A later commentator suggests Helen and Menelaus had another little boy, Pleisthenes, whom she took with her when she fled to Troy, adding that Helen also bore Paris a son named Aganus. Another account mentions that Helen and Paris had three kids- Bunomus, Corythus, and Idaeus- but sadly, these boys died when the roof of the family home in Troy collapsed. R.I.P. Helen’s boys.

Miss Representation Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

Miss Representation - Essay Example One of the most useful tools for the mainstream (digital/electronic media) is misrepresentation. I believe that media is now an expert in forming ideologies; resolutions and keeping in check people’s lifestyles. I agree with the film’s message that there is a certain agenda the way media portrays women. They are usually portrayed as the victims, short tempered and there is no way people can put women on screen without sexually objectifying them. In my opinion the way media portrays women has a strong effect on the way women in real life see themselves. Teenagers spend hours in front of television, passively absorbing information through images. It would be hard to argue that TV doesn’t affect lifestyles and ideologies. I would agree with the documentary that people are paying more attention to women’s appearances rather than their content (their knowledge and skills). It seems as if youth, beauty and sexuality are the only degrees left for women to qualify. On the other hand, I also don’t agree with the extreme opposite where women should seek a revengeful behavior because they have been portrayed as victims. A revengeful feministic approach towards matriarchy is the last thing I want. It would be doing the same with the male gender what media is doing with the female gender. This society, its resources, job opportunities should be available to both genders based only and ONLY on their merit not on their

Economic Theory - Airline Industry Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2500 words

Economic Theory - Airline Industry - Essay Example This paper examines the economic profile of the airline industry paying attention to issues such as shifts and price elasticity of supply and demand, positive and negative externalities, wage inequalities and monetary and fiscal policies. The first part of the report provides an overview of the airline industry while the second part of the report focuses on the above listed variables. Air transport today is one of the largest industries in the world. For example, the scheduled airline industry generated revenues of nearly $375 billion in 2004 (British Airways Fact book 2006). According to BA Fact Book (2006), over half a billion passengers were carried on international scheduled services with this figure having grown at an annual average rate of more than 6% since 1970, when the then corresponding number of passengers was 75 million (British Airways Fact book 2006). Many commentators for example have long argued that, aviation has an overall economic impact far in excess of its turnover (Riggas 2001). Here, Boyd (2000) argues that the network of air transport services facilitates growth in output and employment, and at the same time international trade and investment, tourism, and living standards (Boyd 2000). BA Fact Book (2006) refers to Air travel as â€Å"a vital artery that reinforces the process of globalisation, allowing it to transform the way in which many other industries carry out their business† (BA Fact Book 2006:5). In response to the rapid growth in business travels in recent years, the airline industry has witnessed rapid growth in the last four decades. Rigaes (2002) postulates that, one argument in favour of the present state of the airline industry is positive externality. Thus such a higher growth in the sector is due to global mobility that outweighs the microeconomic losses and justifies continuing government intervention. The industry is also

The Connotation Of Marketing Marketing Essay

The Connotation Of Marketing Marketing Essay Introduction Nowadays, marketing activities influence people in both the roles as suppliers of products and services and as customers. Marketing plays a great part for companies in knowing their clients, the products and services to offer, the advertising means and so forth. As for individuals, marketing is important for them to choose a particular brand of fashionable dresses and even toothpaste. But marketing is much more than selling or advertising activities. In this essay, the concept of marketing will be introduced in the beginning, and then the essay places an emphasis on the full range of connotation for marketing including marketing strategies, the consumer behavior, environmental analysis, and marketing ethics. Finally, it is concluded that marketing is a comprehensive process that involves all of the activities of managing and satisfying demand through the exchange process. Marketing is a Comprehensive Process As to the definition of marketing, most people, even some entrepreneurs, would hold that marketing mean selling or advertising, however, marketing is an activity more complex than selling or advertising. A proper definition of marketing should not only consider economy, but also includes institutions, people, and new ideas. Marketing is a process of offering products and services, pricing, promotion and distribution to meet the individual and organizational demand through exchanges (AMA, 1985). A company achieves its goals by satisfying both the domestic and foreign customers, and marketing is concerned with the activities to enlarge the market share of the company by matching the demand. This definition indicates that marketing includes not only the enterprises and individuals, but also the activities of non-profitable institutions or the marketing of a great idea or a service as well as a product. All in all, marketing involves products, services, organizations, people and ideas. Marketing Strategies According to McCarthy (1960), marketing strategies include products, pricing, promotion and place. Products or services are the basic content in the marketing process, which can be classified as goods or services and as customer or industrial. Classification is significant because it concentrates on the disparities in the characteristics of products and the different marketing implications. A reasonable pricing also counts in the process of marketing which should be profitable to the company and beneficial to the consumers. In the process of marketing, promotion is necessary to make the products, services or ideas known to the consumers. Means of promotion includes personal selling, advertising and public relations, price discounts and so forth. Distribution planning exerts a significant impact on the marketing program used by a firm, because middlemen can play a wide variety of marketing roles, the firmà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s marketing plan will be different if it sells its products dir ect rather than through intermediaries. Environmental Analysis Environmental influences consist of sociocultural and technological, economic and competitive as well as political and legal influences (Kotler, 2006). Individuals are easily influenced both by the trends of the whole society and by a need to comply with the rules of the different social groups to which they belong, and to improve their status in those groups. With the development of technology, consumers can receive more individually-oriented offerings, and thus their expectations are raised about the quality of the product and service. The flourish of products and services lead to brand changing or offer the consumers with the information to make more meticulous decisions. And regulation and legislation, whether they relate to the product introductions, customer rights or advertising means, also decrease the risk of decision-making. This reduces some pressure of the customer, leading to discerning and easier decisions and less risk of post-purchase disturbance. Marketing Ethics Marketing ethics are the marketerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s standards of behavior and moral values, as Homburg (2001) maintains. They are related to the decision to do what is morally right or what is morally wrong. Traditionally, the concept of business responsibility has cared about the relationship between the enterprise and consumers, the work staff, and the stockholders. The enterprise is responsible for providing the customers with high-quality product at a rational price, decent salaries and a comfortable working environment for the staff and an adequate profit level for stockholders. Contemporary marketing decisions must regularly consider the external social environment. Decisions must also account for eventual, long-run effects. Socially responsible decisions must consider future generations as well as existing society. Conclusion In conclusion, in the process of marketing, selling or advertising is essential if a company want to attain its objectives, but more emphasis must be placed on the marketing strategies, and it is also of great importance to take environmental influences into consideration, which can exert impact on consumerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s decision-making. With people concern more about the ecology and healthy ways of consumption, marketers must care about environmentally-friendly marketing despite the high-quality products and services.
