* Sample: The sample is limited to a small proportion of working professionals in Western Sydney and may not accurately reflect the population of
working professionals. 2.0 Literature Review "It is only in our decisions that we are important" –Jean–Paul Sartre Before commencing a discussion on
this quote it may be beneficial to gain an understanding of the key words or concepts suggested by it. Firstly, the two key words are 'Decisions'
and 'Important'. A decision can be said to be an "opinion, position or judgement reached after consideration"1. Important is defined as "Of great
significance or value and strongly affecting the course of events or the nature of things; significant"2 and this is exactly the message Sartre is
trying to convey. Our decisions can shape the course of our lives for the better or the worse so the decisions we make about the paths we choose in
life can determine the state of our existence and define who we are as human beings and ultimately give us a sense of achievement or loss. A
decision is a judgement reached after "consideration" that is, 'why' do we make the decisions we make. It is important to understand this process of
decision making and various cognitive theories have helped us do this. Jean Paul Sartre was a existentialist philosopher who like other such
philosophers, attempted to characterise man by his will, choices and decisions he makes

Listening Process Essay
Listening is one of the most powerful tools of communication and is a process that is used to receive, convey a meaning, and respond to both verbal
and nonverbal messages. It is what we choose to do and it requires more work than speaking. Oftentimes, people simply misunderstand the difference
between listening and hearing. Hearing is a passive process that takes in sounds and noises and listening is what you choose to do. This selective
process includes 5 phases that can be acquired for us to become effective listeners in the future. The 5 phases are attending, understanding,
remembering, critically evaluating (listening), and responding. Once the 5 different areas are understood, we will become aware of what needs to
change and how we...show more content...
The last two factors of attending are to resist tuning out and avoid interruptions. When it comes to tuning out and interrupting, I have a huge dilemma
while communicating with others. Back in high school, that was one thing that I was good at; tuning out. I even still struggled with it coming into
college. In my first semester at Nassau Community College, a student asked me what we had to get done on a class assignment and I had completely
tuned out because I got easily distracted by thinking about what I needed to do when I got home. I knew that tuning out was not a pleasant idea and I
should change that before it got out of hand. I keep a constant reminder that blocking mixed thoughts and distractions will accredit me to improve in
this area of the listening process. Avoiding interruptions has always been an issue and still is to this day. It only occurs when I'm with family and/or
friends but never at school or with teachers. During an encounter with a friend, she was talking about how we don't spend enough time hanging out and
after a single minute, I interrupted her with a tangential response. Interrupting interferes with attending and tends to be a barrier for most school–going
students. If we want to prevent interruptions from happening, turn–taking should be greatly put into consideration. The next time I communicate with
family or friends, I need to keep in mind to patiently wait until it's my turn to speak.
The second phase of the

Thesis: Recycling
Recycling Thesis Statement Recycling is valuable and is one of the most important movements to be encouraged in the 21st century. Introduction
Recycling can be described as "the process of recovering and reusing waste products from household use, manufacturing, agriculture, and business
and thereby reducing their burden on the environment" ("Recycling," 2009). The concept of recycling popped up during World War I and World
War II when the world faced a shortage of essential commodities and this lack of necessary materials led to the collection of required stuff. In the
contemporary period, recycling has become a worthwhile and meaningful process that ensures environmental benefits. The waste management
programs now employ recycling as a major requisite ("Recycling," 2009). Recycling A Vital Need of the Time For the past many years, the basic
form of recycling consisted of direct recycling by manufacturers of surplus, imperfect or malfunctioning materials. During the 1990s, however,
indirect recycling also became a major form of recycling. Indirect recycling is, in fact, the recycling of materials after they are being consumed by the
users. Regrettably, most solid waste has been made a part of landfills or dumps after its deposition in such areas. Consequently, it has led to the filling
up of landfills and this dumping of wastes has led to a number of environmental problems. Recycling is the solution to such disposal. It has been found

Essay on Gerrymandering
English 1101
January 22, 2014
Gerrymandering
Gerrymandering is defined as the establishment of boundaries of voting districts with the main objective of determining the partial or complete
outcome of elections. Gerrymanders are designed with the main objective of insuring the defeat of specific individuals or electing political allies.
There are a number of objectives of gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is usually carried out in order to allow for the reelection of incumbents or for
the party in power to win more seats in an election than the number to which its percentage of the total vote properly entitles it. This only serves to
subvert the will of the people since it denies them the amount of voting power that they are entitled...show more content...
The resulting districts are normally referred to as gerrymanders and they are composed of pro–incumbents and partisans. Partisan gerrymandering
involves the redrawing of political lines in order to favor a given political party. Incumbent gerrymandering involves the redrawing of boundaries in a
bipartisan manner that is aimed at benefiting the incumbents on both sides of the aisle (Snider 2012).
The gerrymandering process allows the majority party within a given state to maximize the number of seats it can win in the future elections. This leads
it into creating as many districts as possible where it constitutes the majority. By doing this, those who support the minority parties are packed into the
remaining few districts. This results in more electoral security for the minority party and less electoral security for the members of the minority parties.
It also produces greater homogeneity within the districts while reducing competition for the house seats. Apart from the positive effects of
gerrymandering, there are a number of negative effects associated with partisan gerrymandering. This process results in more competitive districts
when compared to the non competitive districts and this in turn ambiguously affects polarization. Partisan gerrymandering also affects the state
legislative electoral competitiveness as it has severe partisan biases. Excessive partisan gerrymandering is the violation of the equal protection clause
since it consigns the
