How Stereotype Threat May Cause Poor Performance In Women...

how stereotype threat may cause poor performance in women...
Introduction
Throughout the years, males have dominated the academic disciplines of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) with very few females finding their way in the mix
(Steinberg, Okun, & Aiken, 2012). Those females enrolling in the STEM majors soon find
themselves questioning why they have, and many quickly change their majors to more female–
accepting professions (Steele, James, & Barnett, 2002). The view that women lack the intellect to
succeeded in STEM disciplines has been a prevailing one for much of history (Cadinu, Maass,
Rosabianca, & Kiesner, 2005). Many researchers have questioned whether it is social stigma
impeding female success or indeed basic biological differences that make males are more successful

Stigmatism of a minority group might inadvertently confirm expectations of majority group
memberst (Cadinu, et al. 2005). Merely stating a stereotype, such as that men are smarter than
woman, can cause women to experience arousal, anxiety, and temporary cognitive deficits (Rydell,
Rydell, & Boucher, 2010). These responses to stereotype threat can cause lower performance on an
exam, even if a female and a male are at the same level of intelligence and qualification.
Although the underlying process of stereotype threat are not entirely known, it could be connected
to impairments of working memory and side effects of anxiety (Krendel, Richeson, Kelley, &
Hetherton,2008). In a study done by Schmader and Johns (2003), woman under stereotype threat
showed a lower memory capacity along with subject–specific negative thoughts. This may be
related to poor performance because the threat triggers performance anxiety, which in turn lowers
self–confidence. The anxiety triggers subject specific negative thoughts that consume the working
memory making it difficult to retrieve vital information for good performance. In a similar study
done by Sekaquaptewa and Thompson (2003) showed that who is near you while you are
performing makes a difference. If you were to place one female in an exam room full of males, and
another female in an exam room evenly distributed of males and females, the female taking the

Affluenza in American Society
Introduction: The basic purpose of this essay is to evaluate a common disorder of our society that is
infecting people throughout World and particularly in the U.S. This disorder is called "Affluenza" it
is very catching and once polluted with the disease it is difficult to be overthrown. "Affluenza" is
characterized as an unhealthful connection with money, blown up hopes and tiresome efforts to keep
up with the Joneses. "Affluenza" creates anxiety, bankruptcy, and becomes the reason of several
problems in associations. Even though, there are some people who have unlike definitions for
"Affluenza". Many people find "Affluenza" to be a rich man 's mental sickness and have responded

What a terrifying situation to be in!" [Amanda Hampson]. Affluenza & Materialism: Materialism is
also an indication of this sickness we call "Affluenza". What brings about materialism and causes
"Affluenza"? This simple answer is marketers by using a plenty of information that cannot be
avoided they seduce consumers to buy trough various media [Blenkhorn and N. Wright].
Advertisements & Affluenza: It would be reasonable to believe that if someone view a commercial
even half the number of times they would feel the need to buy or use that product, wouldn 't it?
Some would say the simple solution would be to turn off the TV, but that wouldn 't solve the
problem of marketers attempting to condition consumers either. Advertising accounts 2/3 of the
space in newspapers and 40% of all mail, [Kirsch, T.]. This would seem to go against my research
that "Affluenza" can be prevented. But on the opposing with all of these advertisements one can
shop around, compare the prices and find the best deals for him or her using the marketers plan
against them and finding the best quality product that fits ones resources, and standard of living.
Although, marketers are in the business of promoting materialism and in turn perpetuating
"Affluenza" it all comes down to personal choice and self–control.

The Yellow Wallpaper By Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Charlotte Perkins Gilman 's career as a leading feminists and social activist translated into her
writing as did her personal life. Gilman 's treatment for her severe depression and feelings of
confinement in her marriage were paralleled by the narrator in her shorty story, "The Yellow
Wallpaper".
Charlotte Perkins Gilman was born in 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut. Her parents, Mary Fitch
Perkins and Fredrick Beecher Perkins, divorced in 1869. Her dad, a distinguished librarian and
magazine editor, played a large role in her education, stressing science and history. Fitch was often
away for long periods of time during her childhood, leaving his wife and children with other family
members. This frequently exposed Gilman to her three great aunts who, along with her mother 's
self–reliance, influenced Gilman 's feminist beliefs and need to effect social reform ("The Yellow
Wallpaper" 278). One of her great aunts, Harriet Beecher Stowe, supported the abolition of slavery
and wrote Uncle Tim 's Cabin, a story depicting the life of African American slaves (Wikipedia
contributors). Her second great aunt, Catherine Beecher, was a prominent advocate for domestic
feminism and the third, Isabella Beecher Hocker, was an advocate for women 's suffrage. As an
adult, Gilman directed the independence she had as a child towards feminism becoming a leading
feminists and social activist. Gilman insisted on payment for her household chores and while
supporting herself as a teacher and commercial

John Donne : A Medieval Man But A Metaphysical Poet

John Donne: A Medieval Man but A Metaphysical Poet
When examining writings from the Baroque period, John Donne is widely acknowledged as the
leader of metaphysical poetry. While there are other well–known writers who made this style of
poetry popular, Donne is by far the most discussed and most analyzed. The term metaphysical
developed from John Dryden describing Donne's work as "[affecting] the metaphysics, not only in
his satires, but in his amorous verses, where nature should only reign"(Dryden). After this analysis
of Donne's work, others such as Samuel Johnson began to use metaphysical when describing not
only Donne's poetry, but also the other poetry from this period, which was written similarly.
According to The Oxford English Dictionary, metaphysical is defined as "senses relating to
philosophical speculation or intellectual abstraction" (Simpson). In other words, this poetry is
beyond the natural; it takes something physical and pushes the meaning from natural to something
philosophical. T.S. Eliot argues that the term metaphysical was only used for Johnson to describe
John Donne's difficult imagery, and therefore we should reconsider using the term so loosely to
describe a larger group of poets (Eliot 249). Whether one agree with Eliot or not, upon delving
solely into Donne's poetry, one will see that his work is in fact metaphysical. What John Donne does
in his conceits is take something concrete, and

Nehemiah Rebuilds The Wall : A Story Of Leadership And...
Nehemiah Rebuilds the Wall: A Story of Leadership and Bravery The story of Nehemiah reflects the
unexampled characteristics of a man who heard the voice of the Lord and follow Him. However, to
better understand the significance of the rebuilding and the role of Nehemiah into the story it is
necessary to analyze the sociocultural background throughout this narrative. First, Jerusalem was
still laid in ruins from its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar II 140 years earlier. A city that has its
walls and gates broken down was entirely vulnerable to outside aggression. Therefore, in response
to Jerusalem's condition, Nehemiah mourned and cried. This actions of deep sorrow were often
accompanied with the shaving of the head and beard. Fasting was often added to prayer so the
individual could concentrate wholly on the issue at hand, at the expense of physical needs (Walton,
472). In contrast, the initiative of rebuilding the wall was not pleasant before Sanballat eyes, a
Samaritan leader and one of the Jews' enemies, as he said: "Will they revive the stones out of the
heaps of rubbish and burned ones at that?" (The Wheaton Standard Bible, Neh. 4.2). This phrase
may refer to the ancient Near Eastern idea that stones blackened with fire were cursed and could not
be reused as building material (Walton, 476). In addition, the Hebrews and descendants of
Nehemiah were considered the original audience who first heard the story. Next, the Book of
Nehemiah illustrates the repetition style and a chiastic structure which connects each event. The
sixth unit of the story recounts how Nehemiah directed the rebuilding of the walls and gates of
Jerusalem during much opposition. For instance, Nehemiah 4:1–6 introduces the first time that the
character suffers verbal opposition when he is ridiculed by Sanballat. The same situation is
presented at Nehemiah 6:10–14 when Sanballat and Tobiah intimidated Nehemiah so that he would
sin. This portion of the narrative reflects a repetition among the episodes when the Nehemiah's
prayers seem to be the response of his enemies' verbal opposition. Moreover, at the center of the unit
stands the episode about Nehemiah helping the poor; a structurally highlighted reminder of the
importance of

Nature Vs. Nurture Debate
PSYS 150 Assessment Task 1 Nature–Nurture Debate Scientists and biologist have argued the
Nature versus Nurture debate for decades. This debate argues the degree to which our genetics or
environment, affects our behaviour and developmental stages. Nature is described as the genetic
material that makes up an individual. Nurture can be described as the way in which the environment
and experiences of an individual influence their behavior and development. The debate has centered
on which is a greater factor for many years but current contemporary views accept and acknowledge
the intricacy of the developmental procedure and recognize that "development is not the case of
nature or nurture, but rather nature and nurture" (Howard & Walton 2015) It has been shown that
genetic and environmental factors are in such continuous interactions that the emergence of
particular structures and functions is the result of the dependent interaction of genetics and
environment.(Lewkowicz, 2011.) Those advocating the nature perspective argue for genetic
determinism, this supports the idea that each person has a genetic blueprint that is formulated to
unfold at a precise time in a precise way. It is believed that "genetic material sets up our potential,
possibilities and probabilities." (Howard & Walton 2015 p.5) For example: Body type, Height, Hair
colour, Blood type etcetera. (Howard & Walton 2015) A recent questionnaire of the general public
indicated that "genetic influence was considered

creation story.[footnoteRef:5] They suggest several similarities and differences in the flood epic
narrative from ancient Mesopotamia and the Genesis narrative[footnoteRef:6] and have attempted to
make comparisons between the flood stories in Gilgamesh and Genesis on ?literary grounds?, in
terms of flood traditions in both the Hebrew tradition and the Mesopotamian tradition. [4: W. G.

Clarendon Press, 1970), 101.] [6: Ibid., 25?27.]
K.A. Kitchen names nine differences and seven similarities in the two traditions. The two narratives
claim that the decision to send the flood as punishment was divine (made by deity); a chosen person
(man) is instructed to save himself and his family, together with living animals and to do this he is
asked to build an ark (boat); the flood destroys everyone else on the earth. The boat eventually rests
on a mountain and the birds are sent out off the boat to see if there is any land that is habitable. The
chosen man eventually sacrifices to the divine and humanity is renewed on the earth.[footnoteRef:7]
For Kitchen, the differences are that in the Genesis narrative, deity (God) observes the wickedness

Essay on Monstrosity
Mary Shelley made her reputation of being one of the best Romantic authors on the basis of just one
book. The notoriety that came with being the daughter of two famous authors helped, as did her age
at the time of conceiving the book, but Frankenstein was the only one of her stories to achieve any
fame. The level of fame it achieved, however, was astounding. In fact, even though it was originally
published in 1818, Alasdair Gray still saw fit to use Frankenstein as his primary inspiration for Poor
Things in 1992. The Gothic Romantic nature of both of these books is well known, but the
monstrosity contained within them is an interesting topic to examine.

The story grows from this inception to the somewhat vague description of Victor 's creation. Shelley,
through Victor, through Walton, explains the manner in which Victor prowled graveyards and such
to compile body parts, much like Shelley used disjointed segments of individual observations to
compile her story. Then, she delves into a birth. The animation of his project scares Victor so much,
that he immediately abandons the creation, only to later see the monster in his room, reaching for
Victor with a grin. Victor ‘escapes, ' abandons his child again. The lack of parenting and guidance
is remarkable, no doubt inspired by Mary 's own situation at the time. Then, as Victor wanders
aimlessly, he encounters his childhood best friend, Clerval. Clerval is one of the truly honest
characters in the book, though he also has problems with his father. He is Victor 's true friend, one
who will love him regardless, though Victor is monstrous enough to miss that fact, and tells Clerval
nothing of his creation.
Shelley then introduces us to Justine Moritz, a maid at the Frankenstein 's home, who was
mistreated by her mother before coming to work for them. Her love for the Frankenstein family is
deep and pure. This is why it is such a shock to find out that she is the primary suspect in the murder
of Victor 's younger brother. The boy was strangled; a sign of rage and power issues, and a locket
containing his mothers picture was stolen.
Shelley keeps her

Analysis Of Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein
Background
a. The following circumstances that Mary Shelley was in while she wrote the novel Frankenstein
were not the average circumstances that an average author has. For an average author the typical
setting setting would be in a peaceful calm environment where your head is clear so you can think
only about the task in front of you. Mary Shelley did not have this at all but it was simply a blessing
in disguise. Shelly comes from a very interesting background. Unlike others she has experienced
tragedy throughout her life. Her first two children have died shortly after their birth, her sisters have
died, and one of her first husband have died. This is quite an important aspect to her life considering
she must have been a depressed ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In Mary Shelley 's case one of her favorite authors that she seeked for inspiration was John Milton
in Paradise Lost. During the duration of the horrible storm she turned to Paradise Lost for
developing the character Frankenstein. In the novel Frankenstein Victor plays the role of god by
creating a human. He can be considered a god because he is creating a human from scratch wis is
metaphorically compared to when people describe Gods works. In Paradise Lost Victor can be
compared to Satan who is an archangel who is punished for seeking knowledge that he had no right
to. Both can be compared because both define the character of God in each of their perspective
novels. The the differences in the two characters is that both are portrayed completely differently. In
Paradise Lost Satan 's actions are seen as a positive and that he is helping society by discovering this
knowledge whereas Victor is depicted as this mad scientist that only cares about the advancement of
science.
c. The time period that Mary Shelley lived in was controlled by religion where God played a key
role in everyone 's lives. Religion can date back from the beginning of time. But one aspect of
religion that was mythological that people enjoyed reading about was Greek Mythology. Many
writers and poets based their ideas around Greek mythology. Greek mythology is teaching about
God and Heroes that are based off of ancient Greek rituals. One story in particular is Modern

Racism And White Supremacy For African Americans
For centuries Africa American's have been stripped from their freedom, their history, and their
human rights due to racism and white supremacy. However, in 1868 there was a light at the end of
the tunnel, African Americans thought there was an end to racism and the beginning of equality
when the 14th Amendment was created. The 14th Amendment stated, "All persons born in the
United States are citizens of the United States... no state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any
person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"(The Founding Fathers) With the
privilege of being a citizen a person is entitled to universal freedom (Walton, Smith). Even though
the 14th amendment enforced that the state shall not deny privileges to citizens, it never brought
about equality for African–Americans because of racism. The Amendment was intended to create
equality, however its meaning was misinterpreted and ultimately benefit white males. Because of
this, it denied them of their right to freedom from barriers created to keep African Americans
inferior such as Jim Crow Laws, Gorilla Warfare for Voting, and Institutional Racism. Due to
misinterpretations in the amendment, it allowed misconduct to occur within society. The 14th
Amendment tried to establish universal citizenship and declare freedom and equality throughout the
United States. However, there were many

The Protest Of The Sunset Strip
Opposition to the Development The opposition to the Sunset strip addition is significant in that it
includes the West Hollywood community and LA City councilmembers. In an article by the Staff for
WeHoville, "Last Minute Move to Curb 8150 Sunset Traffic on Havenhurst," the community voices
concern over the development's placement on the northern border of West Hollywood which calls
for their involvement in opposition work (the Staff). A community group that calls themselves
Laurel Canyon Association openly opposes the development and works to preserve the Hollywood
Hills area. The non–profit organization released a Justifications for Appeal in August 2016 in order
to modify the development to fit the community's needs. This is often the case where community
members are opposed to such large–scale development for fear of major modifications to existing
establishments. West Hollywood City councilmembers Lauren Meister and John D'Amico have also
advocated against the development. The two councilmembers supported the views of the community
and worked towards stopping the approval of the development. To the two members' displeasure the
final decision to "drop its opposition to the project came in a 3–to–2 vote," ultimately ending the
city's battle against the development (the Staff). According to WeHoville, the three councilmembers
who voted to drop the opposition to the project have been "beneficiaries of campaign donations
from Townscape Partners" for quite some time (the

if I think they are right or wrong, they will always have authority over me and I have to respect that.
In the Zondervan bible study of Job, Garland talks about Job 's first responses to God 's
questionings. David Garland writes, "He was 'of small account ' that is, he had by his actions
manifested an attitude which was contemptible."(Garland,97) Job had an attitude that's similar to
our when we don't understand what God is doing in our lives. He felt like a coward the moment that
he gave up but he also used that moment when he was feeling low to let God speak to him. Job
recognized God had all authority and Job had to listen.
In this passage, Job taught us to listen to the Lord despite our hurt or our belief that something is
possible. This means that we have to trust in the Lord that his will for our lives will be done.
Because we have to trust Gods authority over our lives, we also have to trust God 's love for our
lives. In the book, How to read Job, the authors write,
"One of the ways we trust God 's wisdom is by refraining from inquiring why God did such a thing
to us, or why he allowed it to happen."(Walton, 136)
The first step to knowing that God loves us is to not get caught up in the pain of our suffering,

through reflective study of fundamental problems having non–physical existence like truth and
falsehood, virtue and vice, reason and justice and so on. Science can be called empirical philosophy

However, the girl is engaged to a man named Albert, whom she soon marries. The unrequited love
becomes a reason of terrible torment for Werther who finds himself a part of a love triangle, that can
only be resolved through death of one of them. The hopelessness of his situation drives Werther to
commit suicide. Significantly, none attends his funeral – neither Albert, Lotte or any clergyman. The
book raises several enquiries in the monster's mind. Firstly, the monster finds him in a similar
situation as Werther, a state of complete desolation. He is forsaken by mankind as well as by his
creator. He realises that love is indispensable for life and hence, asks Victor to create a female
companion, as "deformed and horrible" as he is with whom he can escape into the "vast wilds of
South America", where no human being shall find them again. Secondly, the book raises existential
questions in the monster as he ponders over his identity, which not even Victor has thought about.
Thirdly, Shelley is preparing a ground for the final fate of the monster. Once he kills Victor, he
realizes remorsefully that Victor was his father and that he is left with none to offer him pity or
compassion. The dejection and disappointment, hatred and suffering drives him to commit

tries to overcome fear by going into the businesses. All of the businesses have weird qualities, and
that makes the character feel weird going into the place. The characters each fear something and it
makes it hard for them to achieve their goals in overcoming the fear. Although Cable and Edge both
overcome their fear of the business, Coyne leaves her problem unresolved. People think that some
businesses are revolting, like working in a morgue, selling pig lips, or working in a prison. For
example, In the story "The Last Stop," by Brian Cable, Cable used the quote "'Come in.' said the
sign. 'We're always open"' (Cable 58). Cable tries to use humor by saying, come in we're always
open. Meaning death does not have a time limit. Death can happen at any time of the day. In the
next story, "I'm not Leaving Until I Eat This Thing," by John T. Edge, Edge writes "We do our best
to corner the market on lips" (Edge 142). Most consumers would not want to buy pig lips let alone
try them. It is hard for them to get pig lips in business so they are trying their hardest to sell them.
Edge acknowledges why pig lips are weird leading to him not wanting to try them. Lastly in "The

Global Supply Chain
Abstract
The supply chain is a concept resulting from multiple independent entities that affect each other.
This paper will discuss about Wal–Mart supply chain it will provide the six component, problems
and approaches to solve the problems. Wal–Mart is one of the major retail in the world (Walmart
2011). Wal–Mart is continuously developing its business by developing its services and product
portfolio. The supply chain of Wal–Mart is also effective to enhance its effectiveness within the
industry (Hoppenstedt & Rathkolb 2005).
Introduction
Wal–Mart is the largest multinational company in the retail industry (Cullen and Parboteeah, 2008).
Wal–Mart retail store was started by Mr. Sam Walton in 1945. Mr. Walton began his career as J. ...

Wal–Mart emphasizes on customer demands and determination of customer's satisfaction in
determining places for its stores. Identification of customer demand helps to determine the locations
for store and production facilities close to the consumers (Wal–Mart 2011). The selection of
inappropriate locations in other region without considering income level and living standard of the
customers may create problem for Wal–Mart in location selection. The analysis of macro and micro
environment before selecting location would be effective to increase the supply chain management
of the organization (Lambert 2008).
Transportation:
Transportation is intimately related to inventory decisions and also with the customer requirements
(Bolstorff & Rosenbaum 2007). Wal–Mart uses stores to offer its products to the customers and by
its own trucks for delivery (Wal–Mart 2011). The use of store and its own truck for transportation
may create problem as strike by the employees may affect the delivery of its goods to the customers
that would affect its market share and customer base. To eliminate this problem, management of
Wal–Mart could make arrangement with external transportation companies that will be used in the
situation of strike (Bolstorff & Rosenbaum 2007).
Information:
Information is an important component of the supply chain of an organization as it includes
collection of information from end–users and to link them with resources

The Long Goodbye, By John T. Edge, And The Alternate World
Stranger Businesses
There are certain professions in this world that everyday people could not fathom working in. This
article discusses the businesses of a mortuary in "The Last Stop" by Brian Cable, meat
manufacturing in "I'm Not Leaving Until I Eat This Thing" by John T. Edge, and the alternate world
among female prisoners in "The Long Goodbye: Mother's Day in Federal Prison" by Amanda
Coyne. To each of these businesses, characters or speakers face a fear of the unusual components
that these fields hold. Finally, the individuals in these stories are conflicted with reaching a
resolution to these fears. Working or owning a business entails a significant period of a person's life,
where one undertakes training in order to be paid for that profession. "The Last Stop" comprises of a
tour around a mortuary and its dealings with the dead. This business in particular, Goodbody
Mortuaries, prepares the deceased for a casket viewing, offers funeral services, and handles burial
arrangements. Mortuaries are among strange businesses because "Throughout our lives, death
remains intensely private" (Cable 64). For this reason, the actual notion of embalming a person we
once loved captures a bizarre image. Together with "I'm Not Leaving Until I Eat This Thing", the
meatpacking business known as Farm Fresh Food Supplier operates on pickling and selling a variety
of meats. In the story, an unusual demand for pig lips becomes apparent since the owner states "We

Analysis Of Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein
In the early 1800s Mary Shelley set pen to a paper and started to develop a novel that little to her
knowledge would become world renowned. In 1818 she finished and published the novel to sell to
the European public. The novel caught the world off guard in the way that a female was able to
write about such harsh, dark, and evil things in a European society whose authors like John Locke
and Charles Montesquieu preached enlightenment, self exploration, and individualism all in an
optimistic enabling manner. Her defiance of these worldly themes quickly set her apart from the
other writers of her generation and allowed quickly for her work to become internationally
celebrated. However, in a way Mary Shelley did adhere to the writing structures ... Show more

Sam Walton: a Biography
Sam Walton: A Biography America 's richest man, Sam Walton, was not always rich. Growing up
during the depression, he struggled to help his family then, not knowing he would one day own a
multi–billion dollar business, and then struggle to help the poorest of America becoming one of the
top philanthropists in the United States. Also seen as a great leader, not everyone agrees on the
"greatness" of the man who laid the foundation of some of the most significant management
concepts used today in the business world. On March 29, 1918, Sam Walton was born in Kingfisher,
Oklahoma to parents Thomas Gibson and Nancy Lee Walton. Sam 's father Tom had decided to
name his first born son after his father, Samuel Moore Walton (Trimble, 1990). ... Show more
Throughout school he was always looked upon as a "hustler" and a "big man on campus" from his
peers (Trimble, 1990). Sam finally graduated with a degree in economics from the University in
1940. He also came out of college as a second lieutenant in the army reserves during the time of
WWII. Never actually leaving for war, Sam decided to enter the retail business after learning more
about it through job fairs during school. He interviewed with Sears and J.C. Penny and ended up
moving to Des Moines, Iowa as a management trainee for J.C. Penny making eighty–five dollars a
month (Trimble, 1990). This was only the beginning of a long journey ahead in the retail business.
Working at J.C. Penny is where Sam first picked up the concepts of calling employee 's "associates,"
how to succeed by putting customer satisfaction ahead of profit, and to reward workers in the
organization for their efforts. These concepts were first thought up by John Cash Penney himself
and put into his seven tenets of the "Penny Idea" (Canadeo, 1992). This area is something that Sam
is criticized a lot for stealing the concept and making it his own. After eighteen months learning
retail business at J.C. Penny, Sam resigned knowing he would be sent off to war soon and moved
closer to home to Claremore, Oklahoma. He worked temporarily in a gunpowder factory, Du Pont,
and also met his wife for the first time in Claremore. He met his wife Helen Robson at a bowling

Question 2: How would you characterize the leadership of Walmart founder Sam Walton?
The leadership of Walmart is Authentic Leadership which refers to individuals who know and

empower and inspire others with their openness and authenticity. There are 5 key characteristics of
authentic leaders, which are: (i) Authentic leaders pursue their purpose with passion, (ii) Authentic

They must keep smile when they meet other people. It is clear when he mention that "just because
we work hard, we don't have to go around with long faces." Besides that, to Sam Wilton, the stunt
contained an important business lesson. The stunt can attract people to whom they want to attract
and they will be pay up. Thus, even though we are in pressure, we must hide it and show our
dedication to other person through smiling. If the leaders practice the solid values, it will make other
worker to do so. Indirectly, the leader became a role model to the worker in their work. Leaders
have big responsibility to be handling, by practicing the solid value, it will smooth the management.
Third characteristic is authentic leaders lead with their hearts as well their heads. All leaders
sometimes have to make tough choices, but authentic leaders maintain a compassion for others as
well as the courage to make difficult decisions. In Walmart, the newly minted manager got to work
recruiting 350 new associated, and initiated all hires with the same cheer. The manager should
decide the new worker appropriately even though she a new manager. She also works with confident
and told the new recruit that she start work on 19 years old. Than she was told that, the worker in
Walmart is someone who's extroverted and loved to deal with customers. Leader must do their job

Cultural Dimensions of Theology An examination of Israelite theology goes beyond finding
similarities and differences, it should articulate the relationships which existed and clarify the
cultural context. Otherwise, the mere interpretation of text may lead to interpretation with a
theological significance based on our understanding. Scope of Comparative Study Academic
attention in comparative studies focused on either individual features or literary preservation of
traditions. Comparative research can be divided into three categories: 1) individual elements, 2)
worldview concepts, and 3) literary preservation. Conclusions Walton listed ten principles for
performing comparative studies and stated four goals for undertaking background studies.
CHAPTER 2: COMPARATIVE STUDIES, SCHOLARSHIP, AND THEOLOGY Comparative
study is employed by critical scholars in the critical study of historical and literary texts and is also
used in confessional contexts. This chapter will look at the roles comparative studies play in both
the critical and confessional contexts as well as how it is utilized for polemic purposes. Comparative
Study and Critical Scholarship Darwin's theory of evolution spurred critical scholarship in the
nineteenth century and evolution provided the groundwork for being sympathetic to the idea that

Walmart
In 1945, Sam Walton opened his first variety store and in 1962, he opened his first Wal–Mart
Discount City in Rogers, Arkansas. Now, Wal–Mart is expected to exceed "$200 billion a year in
sales by 2002 (with current figures of) more than 100 million shoppers a week (and as of 1999) it
became the first (private–sector) company in the world to have more than one million employees."
Why? One reason is that Wal–Mart has continued "to lead the way in adopting cutting–edge
technology to track how people shop, and to buy and deliver goods more efficiently and cheaply
than any other rival." Many examples exist throughout Wal–Mart 's history including its use of
networks, satellite communication, UPC/barcode adoption and more. Much of the ... Show more
Many trace discount entrepreneur birth to1962, the first year of operation for Kmart, Target and
Wal–Mart. But by that time, Sam Walton 's tiny chain of variety stores in Arkansas and Kansas was
already facing competition from regional discount chains. Sam traveled the country to study this
radical, new retailing concept and was convinced it was the wave of the future. He and his wife,
Helen, put up 95 percent of the money for the first Wal–Mart store in Rogers, Arkansas, borrowing
heavily on Sam 's vision that the American consumer was shifting to a different type of general
store. Wal–Mart is a national discount retailer offering a wide variety of general merchandise to
customers. Wal–Mart stores offer pleasant and convenient shopping in 36 departments including
family apparel, health and beauty aids, household needs, electronics, toys, fabrics and crafts, lawn
and garden, jewelry and shoes. In addition, some Wal–Mart stores offer a Pharmacy Department,
Tire & Lube Express, garden center, snack bar or restaurant, Vision Center, and One–Hour Photo

expense control. While other major competitors typically run 50 to 100 advertised circulars per year,
Wal–Mart produces only 12–13 major circulars per year (http://www.walmart.com). The cost

Due to this piece of evidence and the statement made earlier, I believed I had enough information to
eliminate proposal three, "Increasing Citizens' Patrol Efforts in High Drug Crime Neighborhoods",
which was also going to use the funds to equip their patrol teams with uniforms, radios, and other
equipment rather than investing it into education and prevention materials necessary to combat
youth drug crime.
After eliminating proposal three, I sat down to compare the effectiveness of Project DARE
described in proposal one and the literacy program described in proposal two. After further research
it came to my attention that despite "DARE [becoming] America's most popular drug education
program", "[t]he effectiveness of [DARE] has yet to be demonstrated" (Rosenbaum, Flewelling,
Bailey, Ringwalt, and Wilkinson 3–31). With this information I further examined proposal one by
Ronald Smith and Kendra Jones which stated, "The Drug Abuse Resistance Education program has
been active in our city for the past ten years" this statement in conjunction with the previous
findings led me to question whether our funds would truly help to make a difference. After ten years

Walt Whitman's Influence On Transcendentalism
Transcendentalism was a "literary and philosophical movement" that rejected materialism and the
idea that religion is necessary to help humans achieve a spiritual experience. Transcendentalism
began as a "religious concept", that inspired many to express their beliefs. This "new religious
philosophy" was very popular and its main influence was on American religion, philosophy, politics,
literature, and art." (Janet Mullane and Robert Thomas Wilson) This philosophy allowed people
such as Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, and Walt Whitman, Theodore Parker,
William Ellery Channing, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson, and Edgar
Allen Poe to express their feelings towards the transcendentalism movement. The transcendentalist

due to the instability of the economy during the period led to his family moving numerous of times.
This author was mainly influenced by the civil war and the Transcendentalist movement believes.
The civil war "influenced and modified'" (Walton Litz and Molly Weigel) his thoughts on life and
gave life to his poems. He believed in the equality of life and that all men are born the equal no
matter their race or their economic state. He gave the lower class a voice through his means of
poetry and believes. He also believed that slavery would "gradually disappear in the course of
anticipated social, economic, and moral developments." He agreed with Lincoln to send the slaves
that were free back to Africa. Whitman main theme of writing was "loneliness, unrequited affection,
and the grave". His main poem "leaves of grass and songs of myself," express the importance of one
self. His greatest legacy was creating a voice to the poor and working class. In "Salute au Monde!"
he seized to equalize all the races and nationalities on the world. He was also influenced by his
mother Louise and his 8 siblings. (Walton Litz and Molly

The's Parents Were Alice Jane Mckey And Henry Burroughs...
John Henry Holiday, presently recognized as Doc, was born on August 14, 1851 in Griffin. Doc's
parents were Alice Jane McKey and Henry Burroughs Holiday. They offered a high–quality
education for Doc, although his main concern was the vast outdoors. He was more interested in
horseback riding and fishing. In 1861, his father Henry Burroughs Holliday acknowledged a
presidential engagement from Davis Jefferson in order to serve like a Quartermaster within 27th Ga.
Infantry. After Manassas Battle, he was endorsed toward the level of chief and scuffles within
Peninsula Campaign as fine as Malvern Hill Battle. After fighting at Malvern Hill Battle in 1862,
poor health forced him to leave suddenly from the military and go back to his relatives in Griffin.
From the time when the battle came nearer to habitat, the Holiday families reallocated to the
southern side of Georgia, Loundes County where they established on a 2,440 acre ranch ten miles
from Valdosta. Henry Burroughs Holiday was in suspense to locate a safe asylum for his child and
wife. Unluckily, this was not the case. Generals John Logan, William T. Sherman and James

Appropriate staffing can be the key to success for many organizations therefore, the human
resources (HR) department must develop a staffing plan. In this paper I will develop a staffing plan
for a new division at T–Mobile called Loyalty. Loyalty will consist of marketing, customer service,
distribution, and accounting. Specific strategies to recruit the appropriate applicants including the
legal compliance of said strategies will be developed in this paper.
Initially HR has to understand the need for the division called Loyalty. The loyalty division will
meet the needs of customers who have been with the company for more than two years. ... Show
The representatives would be able use these elements to address at risk customer issues in an effort
to reduce customer disconnects and increase customer loyalty.
Distribution
When offers of reduced pricing are accepted for equipment, meeting delivery expectations becomes
an important part of enhancing the customer experience to maintain satisfied loyal customers. An
inventory specialist in the current distribution center would be given the additional task of
segregating and maintaining inventory levels to meet the needs of the customer loyalty department.
Recruitment Strategies
The best strategy for obtaining the right people, for the newly created customer loyalty positions,
would be internal recruiting followed by company website if necessary. The strategy for this type of
recruitment requires no additional funding and is the best opportunity for HR to hire employees who
already have an investment in customer loyalty because they already work for the company and are
familiar with company values (Raymond A. Noe, John R. Hollenbeck, Barry Gerhart, Patrick M.
Wright, 2007). Additional benefits of internal recruiting are the ability to see performance
evaluations for the applicants and the ability to set a requirement that all applicants must be meeting
the company performance standards set for their current position. The move to the newly created
division would be seen as a career path for many employees and a promotion for others. Internal

Technology And Its Impact On The Classroom Essay
Progression, the ever enduring race of humankind– to becoming better and more advanced beings,
has become interwoven with technology, as nearly all aspects of one's life, whether it being at home,
for leisure, at work, or in the educational sector– is entwined with elements of digitality. This notion
leads one to see that the participation with technologies can be an essential aspect of one's
progression in this new contemporary society. The emergence and subsequent dominance of
Information Communication Technology (ICT) in this digitally mediated world has led to the need
for digital education in schools, which in turn can bring both potentials and challenges in divergent
school settings, as digital literacies bring differing values and meanings in relation to the setting
they are situated in. Transitioning from old to new literacies; digital literacy as a socially–imbued
construct; digital divide; ICT out–of–school; educators and ICT; and implementing ICT in the
classroom will be discussed in order to extricate both the potentials and challenges with the
immersion of digital literacies in education.
Transitioning from Old to New Literacies
Over the years, as with most things, literacy too, has changed, transformed and progressed into a
more complex and nuanced construct. In the past, 'old' literacies chiefly utilised alphabetic literacy,
as its main tool, such as the printing press, having "...'privileged the written language over all other

Contemporary Artist : Walton Ford Essay
Contemporary Artist:Walton Ford Research Paper Walton Ford is an American contemporary artist
who aspires Audubon and other Naturalists in the style of the paintings. Walton Ford creates
paintings that are considered a new and modern style. The paintings created represent more than an
animal in a habitat. Ford creates paintings that makes the viewer wonder if the painting is cheerful
and natural, or grotesque and disturbing. By putting a twist on a traditional style, Ford intrigues the
viewers and creates a revolutionary change in how people view modern and traditional art. Walton
Ford creates paintings that are based on the style of the naturalist style of John James Audubon.
Audubon was a naturalist who studied the biodiversity and anatomy of animals in their habitat or by
examining a dead specimen. Ford uses the style of Audubon, however, unlike Audubon, Ford does
not make the subject of the painting life–size and proportional to the real life animals.(Ford, Artnet)
Ford does this to make the art seem more conceptual, rather than logical and realistic. (Ford, Art21)
The art has an effect on the viewers through the depictions of the subject. The initial reaction to his
art is meant to be in awe of it and the beauty of the animals. However, as the art is more analyzed
and viewed at different perspectives, it is viewed as repulsive and grotesque. Ford aims for the art to
convey a darker sense of humor. According to Ford, ""I think there 's almost no subject that you

Chemotaxis Lab Report
Genetic interference of Caenorhabditis Elegans within the process of Chemotaxis Abstract For the
majority of animals on earth, responding to chemical stimuli could mean the difference between life
and death. Taste is an example of sensing chemical stimuli–however, this response is not entirely
dependent on genes, as tasting something will not necessarily trigger a gene to activate. Within a
simpler organism however, such as Caenorhabditis Elegans, there is a complex behavior that is
mediated by three sensory neurons and transduce chemical stimuli to move muscles that move an
animal forward(attraction) or backwards(repulsion). By placing these organisms on several plates
which will inhibit genetic expression, and then testing chemotaxis at a later point, it is possible to
determine which genes are responsible for chemotaxis. The global sample averages of the
chemotaxis indexes of CEH–36 and CEH–27 are somewhat inconclusive, with a mean of 0.5815 for
CEH–36 and 0.6981 for CEH–27. Overall, the results for CEH–27 are likely to show that there is a
lack of genetic interference with chemotaxis where CEH–36 is less definitive. Introduction Within

experimentation will be necessary in order to determine the role CEH–36 plays in chemotaxis.

The Revolution On Your Wrist
Revolution on Your Wrist Less than thirty years ago, while Sly and the Family Stone were topping
the pop music charts and President Richard Nixon was covertly scheming to win reelection, the
wristwatch was being transformed – from a mechanism of moving parts powered by an unwinding
spring, into a battery–driven electronic computer. Challenging centuries of analog timekeeping,
battery–driven quartz wristwatches hit the American marketplace in the early 1970s, though it
seemed unlikely the expensive, new–fangled timekeepers would sell. Marketed as the "Next Big
Thing" in cutting–edge technology, electronic watches, which were capable of far more precise
timekeeping that mechanical ones, sold surprisingly well. They soon won over the buying ... Show
Turn–of–the–century men did not wear these new timekeepers; they considered them effeminate
baubles. Men did not begin wearing wristwatches until World War I. Even during the war they
served a specific purpose: they were invaluable tools on the fighting front. The details of the history
of the wristwatch are beginning to emerge as researchers at the National Museum of American
History develop a new exhibition called "On Time." Opening in about two years, "On Time" will
explore the changing ways Americans have measured, used, and thought about time over the past
300 years. Featuring timekeeping devices and a surprising array of everyday objects, the exhibit will
examine how we have come to rely on mechanical timekeepers more than environmental cues or
our internal body rhythms. The history of Americans and their watches is complex. Watches aren 't
just functional everyday objects that provide the correct time. They are personal expressions of
fashion and status. They are sometimes significant gifts – treasured family heirlooms that link
generations or keepsakes that mark important life moments such as weddings, anniversaries or
graduations. They are indicators of the way we think about ourselves. And they are deeply
meaningful symbols of the ways we think about and use time. Through most of the nineteenth
century, pocket

Frankenstein
Literature: Frankenstein Essay Frankenstein is a gothic horror novel that was written by Mary
Shelly and was published in 1818, when gothic aesthetic, romanticism and science were beginning
to spike in western culture. The novel follows the story of Victor Frankenstein in creating a monster
which causes destruction around him, as Victor had ambition and thirst to reveal the secrets of
nature. The novel could be viewed as a warning to the readers and audience about having a greed for
knowledge and power. Mary Shelley explores the idea of having obtained too much knowledge and
curiosity and playing god which involves consequences and dangers that come with it throughout
the text. It also compares the human development of emotions and has ... Show more content on

Robert discontinued his journey of discoveries, taking into account Victor's advice and emotions
that saved Robert from generating his own misery, guilt and regrets. There is a difference
referencing creation through the biblical story of Adam and Eve, Victor rejected his creation and
then the monster starts to tell his side of his story. By doing this, it positions the readers to feel
sympathy for the monster. "Remember, that I am thy creature: I ought to be thy Adam" – page 66,
the creature makes the connections and reference between his creator, Victor and God, himself and
Adam. "Like Adam, I was created apparently united by no link to any other being in existence but
his state was far from different from mine in every other respect". In the biblical tale of Adam and
Eve, Adam was cared for and had experienced a happy existence compared to the creature, unlike
the monster that was neglected by his own creation and lived in total despair and anger. This
powered the monster to be destructive and to swear by to seek revenge on his creator, unlike Adam
and Eve, they did not. The difference between Adam and the creation is that, the companionship that
is present in Adam and the absent companionship in Frankenstein with the monster. Adam's creator
created Eve as his companion, while Victor did not create a companion for the monster, therefore
leaving him feeling lonely and miserable. "You must create a female for me, with whom I can live
