Service Learning Team Reflection Paper
Working with the Service Learning team has shown many of my classmates just what exactly the real world looks like. For many of them I assume
this was there first time doing a project of this nature and seeing this sort of chaos. Luckily for many of them this project was handled mainly by a
few strong leaders of the class and the majority of them only needed to follow behind and assist with very small mundane tasks. Although some tried
to help and get involved it was very noticeable that their efforts were halfhearted, and quickly they would back out of conversation and sit quietly
waiting for a decision to be made. Although this sounds harsh and condescending it's by no means meant to take away from their efforts. They all
showed up when told to and they each interacted with the children or at least helped us get ready for the activities.

The Belly Dancer
Coming into this event setting was confusing, set up inside in the cafeteria in a small section towards the front made it confusing for those of us
who have never been in the cafeteria. The setting alone seems extremely unordinary for a Belly Dancer's venue as most of her body that should be
covered in cafeteria are such as her arm pits and her exposed feet. Her intricate body movements mirror that of the musical instruments and beats to
the song as she swings her hips from side to side. Her introduction of the prop used which is a sword seemed unique, twirling around in circles that
makes it flow in with her choreography. Going so far as to balance the sword on her head and gripping it with her teeth which takes a lot of skill to
do. Watching the rhythm of her body in sync with the music shows how much exercise in involved as we can see her stomach muscles flexing and

Richard Rodriguez "Real Work" Essay Analysis

Kevin Knight
English 111
September 12th, 2012
"Real Work" by Richard Rodriguez is about a young man struggling with self–confidence. He seeks to build his self–esteem by participating in real
manual labor over a summer job. When Rodriguez is offered a job working on a construction site he doesn't hesitate to say yes. His father had
always told him he could never understand the hardships of "Real work', and Rodriguez felt that completing this summer job would make his father
proud of him, and in many ways consider him to be a "Real man". Richard Rodriguez was raised in America, unlike his family. He never really knew
anything different. This made it very easy for his father to tell him that "he didn't really know ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The father figure depicted in this story could be viewed in a few different ways. At first I thought the authors father was kind of a stuck up, rude
man, who was sour about the advantages of living a normal life in American society. I felt that he had made his son feel like he could never do what
he had down. If a parental figure makes you feel like that, there tends to be a reaction. It could be positive or negative. In Rodriguez's case he took
what his father said, and harnessed it into a positive learning experience. When I thought about more in depth, it became clear that Rodriguez's father
wasn't putting his son down at all. He was simply explaining to his son how different their worlds where. He was stressing that although his son had
more opportunity, and was presented with much greater potential to be excellent, that the work he did growing up was much harder, and tough than
most people realize. His father was just making it known that in his working years he did not have many options as to career choices. But on the
other hand I can easily see why the author felt that his father had challenged him. Much like I felt my father was challenging me. Rodriguez felt like
he needed to prove that he could perform the same task that his fathers use to do to provide for their families. Working with you're your hands,
completing messy, strenuous, sometimes painful jobs was almost a part of Hispanic culture. A part of

For example the Bristol City Councils Community Investment Team recently had a funding grant available. Two years ago when they know they
would be opening the grant up they published a time line which included consultations, bid submission dates, interview dates, notification of
successful bid dates and then the grant start date. This allows us as an organisation to factor in the dates one for availability and planning but also for
factoring in the money for budget consideration knowing that if we are successful we will receive more money which will be contributed to our core
costs which will have a positive impact on all other services. We find that all external stakeholders will provide us with all future dates from the onset

For proponents, the approach has been used to diagnose and treat a diverse set of workplace ills, including poor communication, sluggish innovation,
absenteeism, antimanagement sentiment, stress, and lack of creativity. Deal and Kennedy (1999) even suggested that if the "Fun Quotient" is high in
a firm, then employees "will be more willing to commit themselves . . . people will pour their hearts and souls into what they do . . . it produces better
results for everyone concerned–employers, employees, and society at large" (p. 234). According to these authors, cultures that promote a childlike
frivolity and playfulness are especially important today following the wave of downsizing that beleaguered corporate capitalism in the early 1990s.
Perhaps echoing the current interest in corporate spirituality and enchantment (Casey, 2002; Kline & Izzo, 1999), they claimed that managers must
now try to counter labor discontent by fundamentally changing the meaning of work among employees and managers alike. This article critically
examines a managed culture of fun in a communications organization. It will be argued that an important aspect of this management approach is the
symbolic blurring of the boundary that has traditionally demarcated work and nonwork experiences. This boundary of course has antecedents that can
be traced back to the industrial revolution whereby home, lifestyle, recreation, and play were severed from the act of labor by the

Orientation Questionnaire For Sports Psychology
I recently took a Work Orientation Questionnaire for Sport Psychology. I scored highest on the work orientation, but I decided to research and talk
about mastery orientation. Even though mastery orientation was the lowest score of the three, I feel like I can relate a little bit more by viewing
the questions being asked within the Questionnaire. Readers, I am not disagreeing with the results of the quiz; however, I am expanding on an area
that personally fits me better. This is for people who are focused on developing and progressing skills, but also for gaining additional knowledge. If
readers are looking for a more descripted definition, it's best defined as using the goal of learning and mastering the task according to standards set by
you. Students find approval with the work and are not conflicted by external factors. These students also tend to participate in work or activities that
increase their learning, which involves more attention, collecting information at a higher level, and are open to asking questions.
I plan on being a basketball coach at the junior high or high school level. I want to talk to the readers about mastery orientation within sport
performance. Most players, regardless of sport, are ego–orientated people due to the theme of winning or success. Before I continue, I am not
suggesting that I prefer all my players to be just mastery oriented. I believe a positive ego oriented athlete can reflect positively and help with the
mastery oriented part.

Farm Girl
Summary of Farm Girl
Anderson Jude
ENG 115 Professor Chris Swindell
Strayer University
October 23rd, 2013
The short story Farm Girl is an in depth look at life through the eyes of a young girl growing up with her family on a farm. Throughout this non–fiction
story the author Jessica Hemauer, does an amazing job of describing her surroundings to pull the reader in and make them feel like they are there with
her. She begins as a younger girl describing how difficult it is for a child to awake from a deep slumber, and immediately get to work doing jobs
some grown men would cringe at. "Cleaning out various huts and pens and laying down fresh straw are part of our daily duties" (Hemauer, 2011 p.
84). She continues by explaining how ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
She uses her years of experience from working on the farm to her advantage, and is finally able to do all the things she has always thought to be
impossible. "I join the homecoming club, audition for musicals and plays, serve as the president of the student council as well as president of my
class" (Hemauer, 2011 p. 86). Before ending the story she tells the reader how all of her activities have not made her feel any less different then
she did before. However, she comes to the realization that if it had not been for all of those years of hard work on the farm, then she would not be
able to manage her time as well as she does to be able to participate in all those activities, and at the same time hold down a job, and perform better
than others in the work place (Hemauer, 2011).
The entire story I felt as if I was there on the farm with the young girl. I was drawn to read it more than once not because it was difficult to understand,
but because the descriptions were so vivid I did not want to overlook anything. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the short story Farm Girl, and would
recommend it to anyone that is looking for an interesting story to read.

Reflective Essay Work
When it comes to work, most of my "work" is comprised of personal projects or school work––I don't have a job in the sense of something that will
make me money. I work best when i am told exactly what my tasks will be and when I have to do them. I can do self directed work, but it is harder
for me. I think it's because when there is someone who is telling me that a certain task is essential, I am afraid of what will happen if I don't meet
the deadline, whereas I don't scare myself as much. As for the the specific kinds of work I like to do, I enjoy working with both my hands and my mind
equally. I don't enjoy super labor–intensive jobs, but I like jobs where I still get to create something. That said, I also need proof that what I am doing
is actually productive, and worth something. What I make does not have to be a physical object, but I wouldn't be able to stand a job where I know
what I do might not even be used. I do not have an official job. All of the work that I have done has either been for school or for myself, and a lot of
my personal projects are writing or art based, since I want them to lead directly into practicing skills for a possible future career. These things might
not be considered "work," but they are still productive, and the fact that I have thought about how these activities might lead into a future career might
suggest that I have thought about how much effort and time getting and working at that career will take. In fact, I have both over and

William Golding 's Lord Of The Flies

easier, and in the end, it leads to success by completing the tasks needed to get towards the goal, whether that be obtaining food or conquering an entire
continent. In Golding 's Lord of the Flies, a lack of mutual respect between the leaders and followers as well as the failure to unite themselves to work
together for the same goals, resulted in chaos, and ultimately, the division and failure of their society on the island. Without respect in their society, a

In order to have an effective society, it really requires a group effort with effort from everyone to make it happen. Ralph and Piggy begin to expose
the problems with a group divided when scolding Jack. "'I was chief, and you were going to do what I said. You talk. But you can't even build huts–
then you go off hunting and let out the fire [...] This job was too much. We needed everyone. [...] You could have had everyone when the shelters were
finished. But you had to hunt–'" (70–71 Golding) The followers are some of the most important and influential people in the success or deterioration
of a society. Ralph was their leader, but not only did people not listen to him, they also didn't do what he told them to do. Without enough followers
listening to him, they were unable to keep the fire going, Ralph's main goal which could've helped bring rescue to them. It was much more difficult, and
the boys were unable to efficiently and effectively work to accomplish their goal, the main event that lead to the group fights. Since Jack and some
other boys didn't listen to their leader, they not only hurt their chances of rescue and survival, but split the group, turning friends into enemies which
lead to multiple unnecessary and unwarranted deaths on the island. Ralph was too friendly, and the boys betrayed him, but they didn't openly betray

Case Analysis: the Arctic Mining Consultants
The symptoms of this case are 2 employees, Millar and Boyce not meeting the daily quota of lengths. The team was not able to meet the deadline set
by Parker because Millar and Boyce did not meet the daily goals. Since the deadline was not met, each team member would not receive the bonus of
$300. Another symptom is Millar's lack motivation towards the end of the project.
The cause of the symptoms includes low daily wages, insufficient training, and inequality. Parker was not able to effectively coach Millar about how to
meet his daily goal. The team's members received considerably low daily wages for the work they did, regardless of the amount of work they did or
how long it took them to do it. No training was given on how to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Parker could have attached a smaller bonus to each day depending onml the lengths completed. This could serve as an external motivator to find
efficient ways to get the job done. Although all of the team members had the ability to do the job, Millar and Boyce lacked the skills to do the job
efficiently.
Another cause of the symptoms in this cause is the lack of direction or training. Once Parker realized Millar and Boyce where not meeting the daily
goals, he could have talked with. No them, found out why the goals weren't being met, and came up with some suggestions that would help in meeting
the goals. Parker was also mute when on Day 6 Millar produced 8ВЅ lengths. This would have been a great time to boost Millar's motivation. Focusing
on positive versus the negative aspects will improve individual morale and well as the organizational atmosphere.
By Day 8 Millar had run out of steam. Feeling he could never meet Parker's expectations, he was demotivated. Although Millar and Boyce did not
meet their daily quota, the tirades always seem to be focused towards Millar. Millar felt like regardless of how hard he tried and the amount of work he
produced was meaningless, Parker remained silent on Day 6 even though Millar did 8 ВЅ lengths. At the end, the situational factors that had occurred
during the project prevented Millar from caring whether or not he received the $300 bonus.

Service Learning Project Paper
Service Learning Project When I began my Civics class, thinking it potentially difficult and boring, I did not initially look forward to this project.
However, as I did each activity, I found myself enjoying each and every one. From sitting in a board meeting to collecting trash, I discovered
something new in all of the ways I volunteered. Not only did the people I volunteered for gain something through my service, but I feel that I gained a
lot as well.
The first activity I completed was observing a Davidson County School Board meeting on the topic of an information breach that occurred. I took
notes throughout the meeting and supported every teacher that spoke about their concerns. Collecting trash around the Ledford High School
campus, both the football and baseball stadiums on two different occasions, was the next activity I completed. I then helped to paint a set for the

took the athlete and his family that I was paired with around to the different games that were offered, and got him water and snacks when he needed
it. I was also a buddy for multiple athletes at the Miracle League of High Point. I assisted and encouraged each child as they batted, ran the bases, and

This case deals specifically with the members of the "clicking" workgroup. The problem appears to be a total lack of supervision and management

Specifically, the issues of horseplay, extended breaks andoperator disruptions, which all lead to a loss of production, are clearly visible during daily

Third, because the work is not mentally stimulating or challenging, it is recommended that workspace modification be made. These could include
additional or improved natural lighting, as well as the introduction of music. A radio could provide enough mental stimulation that would help keep the

this brings new issues which include; musical preferences of each operator may be significantly different.
Because George is the team lead, he should be responsible for maintaining proper behavior of the operators of the equipment, as well as, adhering to

understands the importance of maintaining professional mannerisms around the dangerous "clicking" equipment.

Music Is The Sounds And Lack Of Sounds Of A Musical Work
Jae Yun
Professor Jonathan Beckett
MUS 124 – 255W
July 31, 2015
MUS124 Long Paper One of the basic ideas defining music is outlined in the Professor Michael B. Bakan's second proposition: that the sounds and
lack of sounds of a musical work are organized. Throughout the past years, many professors of ethnomusicology and music in general have attempted to
define exactly what music is. Although there was and is a lot of discussion on the matter, most researchers began with the notion that music is
essentially organized sound. However, there are cases where sounds are organized but humans do not consider them as music. Some of these instances
include speech, poetry, and natural sounds. Due to this primitive and elementary basis that music is organized sound, researchers have attempted to
create conditions or categories which music falls into. Despite the conflicting opinions on the different characteristics, I, along with most researchers,
believe that although music is indeed a form of organized sounds and silences, this definition is too broad to accurately define music. Every form of
music we hear includes an organized framework in which sounds come together. Although music is organized sound, it can be argued that not all
organized sound is music. For example, language and human speech consists of words, which essentially organized sounds. However, we do not
consider a conversation between people as music. Another example is natural sound we hear from the environment.

writing Turandot: Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni (Edmonton Opera, Program Notes, p.17). This musical work is a late romantic opera, with an
emphasis on emotions being prevalent throughout the opera (Kerman & Tomlinson, Listen, 8th edition, 2015, p. 274). As the conductor took his place
in the pit, the audience began the performance with a loud applause. When the curtains were drawn back, the audience's attention was immediately
fixed upon the stage. As the characters began to file in, one's eyes were easily drawn to the characters of wealth and importance as their costumes were
more colourful and lavish then those of the chorus. The music accompanying this image drew the audience even further into the performance as its
stylistic features helped to portray a sense of urgency and warning.

Looking back now, if placed in that same situation, I would not react by confronting the person. I now realise that she probably wasn't even aware
of my feelings about growing up in South Africa and how a comment like that would affect me. She probably just said it because it is within her
family/cultural upbringing to use terms like that in a joking way. I would now be more tolerant when faced with a situation like that and brush it
aside. Stereotyping that women are bad drivers: On a regular occasion, when driving with males in a car, and there is somebody on the road
making an error in driving, the comment always comes up that the driver must be a female. I know that it is said in jest, but it is a typical
stereotyping comment which is made, which seems to be accepted by society. I don't drive, so I don't take offence to the comment, but I do stand up
for other female drivers when the comment is made though, because I wouldn't be surprised if other females, who do drive, do take offence to such a
comment. Learning what I have now though, if a comment like that is said, then I won't react to it. I will be tolerant towards the person saying it
because they are obviously repeating something which is commonly said within society and said in jest. Even though the comment isn't acceptable to
me, I will learn to tolerate it. 3. What can you do to overcome these effects of stereotyping? 1. I should learn to be more tolerant and become more aware

Introduction
For this report the process of creating the game Chased by Snakes as a member of Danger Noodle will be discussed.
Methodology
For this project it was decided by the group to use a flat management structure, and to follow a system akin to free development. This method meant
that none of the group was the project manager and instead the thing keeping people on track was their self–motivation to complete the project. To aid
with completing the project at the start of the project a list of work was set out from the requirements, and then each member of the group picked the
tasks that they could complete for the year. The main reason such a free and unstructured... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Another problem is that this method requires everyone to have high motivation if they want to complete the project to a high standard and a as the
group is small a few unmotivated people can bring the whole project down. The group did have motivation problems during the middle of the project
with some group members not producing any work. The motivation could have been reduced if the work been assigned one at a time instead of all at
the start allowing people to focus on one thing at a time and seeing the list of work get smaller.
A problem with using this flat management with free development is that there are not a lot of examples to follow with many companies using agile. It
seems that this flat management is new to the games industry and so the group might make some mistakes that others can learn from in the future who
want to use the same structure. There are however some companies that do, valve uses a flat management structure and so does Chucklefish games
(Bithell , Sliwinski, & Orlowski , 2016)(18:25–19:00). At Chucklefish the flat management works well as there is a small team of people who are all
self–motivated to complete the parts of the game they are working on. As we were working in a

What I Learned About Management
Concrete Experience I knew that management was something I was mentally programed for from a young age. May of 2000 was the summer going
into my sophomore year of high school and I was venturing into my first tax–paying job at Sonic. I liked the structure it had, compared to the odd
summer jobs I had been picking up in the past. From the ripe age of 16, I had already began the process of evaluating personnel, process's for
improvements, and trying to create a safer work environment for myself and those around me. With the start of my senior year quickly approaching, I
was already balancing sports, grades, college applications, and now my employer was asking me to step up from a shift leader to assistant manager. I
always had the thoughts, if I were the manager I would do this or I would do that. The same thoughts everyone else was having, except I wasn't saying
unrealistic comments like; we would have two–hour lunches and I wouldn't make anyone work Friday nights. I was looking at how personnel were
used and how their strengths were not being maximized. I was critiquing the processes that had been in place well before I came around, that had never
been questioned. I was young and had big plans for my future that didn't include anything to do with management. At the time, I never knew I was
starting to develop skill sets that would help me reach goals in my current career. My first year of college was cut short with my desire to join the

A Scientific Management, Taylorism, And Management
F.W Taylor introduced a scientific management, Taylorism, in the early 20th century to solve the problem of inefficiency. The aim of Taylorism is to
maixmise productivity and minimise waste of resources using specialisation of labour. There are three main components of Taylorism and it will be
discussed in detail in the later paragraphs.
Firstly, according to Rose, M. (1978), Taylor believes that the root of inefficiency is the slacking and soldiering of workers. And irrational and
incompetent of managers. He further explained the idea of inefficacy by stating 'managers are incompetent is because of the growth in scale and
technical complexity of industry'. In order to dealt with the slackness of worker, the worker should be closely control and supervise by inspector. This
ensures that no one will shirk during work and the chance of worker making mistakes are minimized. Hence worker will produce the maximum effort
which leads to increase in productivity. Taylorism also suggested the use of hierarchy organization structure which means separating the decision
maker, usually the managers and the people who receive orders from the managers and implement it. This is because he believes that people with no
management skills will not be able to make a right decision and hence may leads to a waste of resources. Besides supervision, Taylor asserted that
managers should apply their professional knowledge on managing their worker and plan the work. For example, calculating the

A leader should be able to inspire those around them. If someone is inspired and motivated to do something they will do it without being forced to.
I am able to inspire others by showing them how good they are and what they can become. If someone has a goal to work towards they are more likely
to improve. I will help inspire the players in my section so we can become the best we can be.
Communication is also a key skill to being a leader. If the leader and the people around them aren't able to communicate then nothing will get done. I
have learned in the past that not communicating can lead to the downfall to a piece or group. If a member of the section isn't aware that they are
playing something wrong it will never be fixed. As a leader I will be able to help others improve and communicate with them what they can do in the
future to prevent the same mistake from happening.
I am able to learn music fast and will use that advantage to help others with their parts. To be able to help them, I will make sure I understand how
all of the parts fit together and tell them how they can improve on the sections they are struggling with. Inspiration is very important in a section and

How Can A Contractor Avoid Liability for Defective Work?
Every contract created produces a margin of risk and a platform for success. Depending on how one manages the risk assumed, one may either excel
and shine in the glory of success or drown and disappear in the raging waters of error. Nevertheless, to become great one must take that step of faith
into the flailing wind. As said by Leo F. Buscalglia, "The person who risks nothing– does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He
may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn... and grow... and live." (Buscalglia, 2009)The contractor who is bound to the owner must

Binghamton Housing Authority. It was six years after the completion of the Saratoga Terrace apartment complex when a child fell off the back porch
stoop and received severe injuries. The parents of the child claimed that the contractor and owner were responsible due to their negligence in
constructing the stoop without a protective railing. The court referenced back to the Campo v. Schofield case, which states, "We have not yet reached
the state where a manufacturer is under the duty of making a machine accident proof or foolproof." The court also noted that the complex had been
used without accident for six years and that it did not conceal any dangers or defective work that would not have been found by a reasonable
inspection. The outcome of the case proved that the pleading did not contain any allegation of a defect, and that the liability rested upon the parents of
the child.
Consequently, the phrase Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware) protects the contractor from future claims as long as the defective work existed at the time
of inspection and could have reasonably been identified. Nevertheless, a contractor must also understand that if the defective work is classified as a
latent defect, the risk and liability associated with this defect may be transferred back to the contractor.
Therefore, a contractor must understand what a latent

The musical work that I am going to use in this essay is "Non avra ma' pieta" by Francesco Landini. Classical Archives (2008) have noted that
Francesco Landini was the most celebrated musician in the first school of polyphonic music in Italy. They also say that Landini was born in Fiesole on
the outskirts of Florence and that he was the son of Jacopo Del Casentino, a painter and student of Giotto. It also states that when Francesco Landini
was a child, he suffered from smallpox and as a result of this, left him blind for the rest of his life. He dealt with this by taking refuge in music. One way
in how Landini done this was by playing a wide range of instruments. One in particular that he mastered was the organ. Landini was famed for his ...

In the piece of music I am studying, there are only 3 accidentals. One being F sharp another is C sharp and last is B flat. Although in this time
period, music wouldn't have a major or minor key as such, when listening to this piece of music it would be easy to come to the conclusion that the
piece sounds more major than minor. However when reading the translation of the song "She will never have mercy, this lady of mine, if you do not
see it, love" it will suggest that the ballata is of a minor key.
Francesco Landini's 'Non avra ma pieta' does not have a musical background as such. Like many others of Landini's work 'Non avra ma pieta' does not
have a publish data. This then makes it hard to know how old Landini was when he composed this piece and also whereabouts he composed it. Most of
his other 154 or so works were composed in his home town Fiesole, Florence (where he also died) so I would guess that this ballata was also composed
there as well.
When looking at the melody in the ballata 'Non Avra ma pieta' it will be important to break it down into section. These would be: range, shape and
movement. The range of this piece is in a medium arrangement, most notes for the treble clef are in the middle of the stave throughout the piece
with some high and low notes. The ranges of notes used are not of a narrow range as they move up and down the scale freely. Then main range of

It could be argued that making changes can help economy as more avenues have been introduced giving customers more choice. This allows for any
customer who works antisocial hours take control of their banking, it allows for every customer to be treated fairly as everyone has the same
opportunities with their banking. For example savings account online normally have a higher interest rate to those offered in branch these accounts are
optional for every customer however you need to bank online to manage the account therefore you automatically introducing yourself to a new avenue

The red text box is the focal point of the work and takes up about one–fourth of the composition.
Barbara Kruger's Untitled (I Shop Therefore I Am) is a visually simple but bold work that evokes postmodern themes including media, popular culture,
and consumer cultures. The daring and aggressive red text box draws the viewer's eye directly to the bold phrase in white font. "Kruger reformulated
RenГ© Descartes' philosophical proposition of cognitive existence, 'I think therefore I am', into a motto for the hyper–ventilated acquisitive world of
the 1980s boom time..." (Engberg). Descartes' theory implies that as long as an individual is simply thinking there is an active engagement that is
occurring that justifies a meaningful existence. Thus, thinking gives substance to an individual's life. By replacing the word "think" with the word
"shop" Kruger is making a social commentary on society's shift from cognitive value to material value and exposes the tie between consumer culture
and personal identity. We are no longer defined by what we think but by what we buy; as a result, our culture has become so overwhelmed with
materialism that people have become more reliant on the products that they buy and the materials that they own to define who they are. The contrasting
themes of intellectual value versus material value in Kruger's work instigates the viewer to

The Importance Of Team Dynamics And Communication
Throughout my semester in SciTech, perhaps the most important thing that I took away from my experience was the importance of team dynamics and
communication in collaborative projects, and this is particularly true in engineering fields, where it is absolutely essential to success, and, in my
opinion, significantly more important than the skill of knowledge of individual team members after a certain point. Every team that I was part of
during SciTech, the team for the semester challenge especially, had numerous issues in cooperation and communication, and conflict repeatedly arises,
though we eventually learned how best to function together and were able to successfully complete the challenge before D4 with a significant amount
of time to spare, though we did have some issues with time management in regard to the Final Report later. I have found that, although relevant skills
to the task at hand, proficiency with SolidWorks or a general aptitude for mechanical engineering for example, organizational abilities, or other things
of that nature, these are effectively useless without a developer work ethic, a willingness to accept feedback and learn, the ability to effectively
resolve disputes, and good communication, all of which are immensely valuable in a collaborative setting. For example, one of my group members

St. Johns Lutheran Church
For as long as I can remember, St. Johns Lutheran Church has been like a second home. It is the church where I was baptized (for a second time), took
first communion and affirmed my faith through confirmation. I belonged at St. Johns. I was a member of St. Johns.
As I entered adulthood, I had a natural instinct for organization and leadership and I had a strong interest in using those talents to serve the church. I
worked with youth groups, participated in WELCA, served on the church council and it seemed there wasn't a task I would not take on. Many people,
myself included, anticipated the next logical stop on my journey would be seminary.
But I didn't feel or hear the call at the time.
Nearly two decades later, I started to put the pieces of the puzzle together. It would start with a simple but powerful statement, "We are called to make
disciples, not members." That statement would lead me to reflect on and seek out a better understanding of what it meant to be a disciple. That, in turn,
led me to study and reflect on the concept of servanthood. I realized that developing a more personal and authentic relationship with Christ required
more than just attending worship, working in the church and simply believing in Him. I realized that living a Christ–like life required a different way
of thinking, a different way of living.

Service Learning Team Reflection Paper

  • 1. Service Learning Team Reflection Paper Working with the Service Learning team has shown many of my classmates just what exactly the real world looks like. For many of them I assume this was there first time doing a project of this nature and seeing this sort of chaos. Luckily for many of them this project was handled mainly by a few strong leaders of the class and the majority of them only needed to follow behind and assist with very small mundane tasks. Although some tried to help and get involved it was very noticeable that their efforts were halfhearted, and quickly they would back out of conversation and sit quietly waiting for a decision to be made. Although this sounds harsh and condescending it's by no means meant to take away from their efforts. They all showed up when told to and they each interacted with the children or at least helped us get ready for the activities. As my part in this group I took on ensuring the snack was provided, and that each station had what they needed and was ready to begin their activity. I personally Handled our budget Purchased Delivered Briefed each group on what the snack was Which one had what in it so as to avoid any allergies As well as that they would have extra and should hold off giving it out as everyone wouldn't be able to get seconds. This was the direct piece that I was given to handle. Outside of this I inputted my own life experience into discussions to help us get to a solution during each part of the planning processes.

The Belly Dancer Coming into this event setting was confusing, set up inside in the cafeteria in a small section towards the front made it confusing for those of us who have never been in the cafeteria. The setting alone seems extremely unordinary for a Belly Dancer's venue as most of her body that should be covered in cafeteria are such as her arm pits and her exposed feet. Her intricate body movements mirror that of the musical instruments and beats to the song as she swings her hips from side to side. Her introduction of the prop used which is a sword seemed unique, twirling around in circles that makes it flow in with her choreography. Going so far as to balance the sword on her head and gripping it with her teeth which takes a lot of skill to do. Watching the rhythm of her body in sync with the music shows how much exercise in involved as we can see her stomach muscles flexing and expanding as if she is doing crunches. ...

  • 3. Richard Rodriguez "Real Work" Essay Analysis D'Auvray Xan D'Auvray Kevin Knight English 111 September 12th, 2012 "Real Work" by Richard Rodriguez is about a young man struggling with self–confidence. He seeks to build his self–esteem by participating in real manual labor over a summer job. When Rodriguez is offered a job working on a construction site he doesn't hesitate to say yes. His father had always told him he could never understand the hardships of "Real work', and Rodriguez felt that completing this summer job would make his father proud of him, and in many ways consider him to be a "Real man". Richard Rodriguez was raised in America, unlike his family. He never really knew anything different. This made it very easy for his father to tell him that "he didn't really know ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The father figure depicted in this story could be viewed in a few different ways. At first I thought the authors father was kind of a stuck up, rude man, who was sour about the advantages of living a normal life in American society. I felt that he had made his son feel like he could never do what he had down. If a parental figure makes you feel like that, there tends to be a reaction. It could be positive or negative. In Rodriguez's case he took what his father said, and harnessed it into a positive learning experience. When I thought about more in depth, it became clear that Rodriguez's father wasn't putting his son down at all. He was simply explaining to his son how different their worlds where. He was stressing that although his son had more opportunity, and was presented with much greater potential to be excellent, that the work he did growing up was much harder, and tough than most people realize. His father was just making it known that in his working years he did not have many options as to career choices. But on the other hand I can easily see why the author felt that his father had challenged him. Much like I felt my father was challenging me. Rodriguez felt like he needed to prove that he could perform the same task that his fathers use to do to provide for their families. Working with you're your hands, completing messy, strenuous, sometimes painful jobs was almost a part of Hispanic culture. A part of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Learning Outcome 2: Be able to implement operational plans in own area of responsibility 2.1 Assess risks associated with operational plans and include contingency agreements; Within the third sector the majority of funding that we receive is restricted which limits where the money can be spent and means that it can only be spent on the purpose for which it is assigned. With regards to the projects that I run this is the situation with all of the funding streams, all of the money that I manage is assigned to pre contracted outcomes with set reporting dates. I have ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... For example the Bristol City Councils Community Investment Team recently had a funding grant available. Two years ago when they know they would be opening the grant up they published a time line which included consultations, bid submission dates, interview dates, notification of successful bid dates and then the grant start date. This allows us as an organisation to factor in the dates one for availability and planning but also for factoring in the money for budget consideration knowing that if we are successful we will receive more money which will be contributed to our core costs which will have a positive impact on all other services. We find that all external stakeholders will provide us with all future dates from the onset of a funding opportunity. 2.3 Implement operation plan within own area of responsibility; The operational plan that I have submitted is from my area of responsibility, this has been devised by using the organisational strategy and working out my areas on responsibility. This allows me to have an end goal and then Ineed to plan how to achieve it. Once this is done I can work out a step by step plan of what needs to be done and by whom.

For proponents, the approach has been used to diagnose and treat a diverse set of workplace ills, including poor communication, sluggish innovation, absenteeism, antimanagement sentiment, stress, and lack of creativity. Deal and Kennedy (1999) even suggested that if the "Fun Quotient" is high in a firm, then employees "will be more willing to commit themselves . . . people will pour their hearts and souls into what they do . . . it produces better results for everyone concerned–employers, employees, and society at large" (p. 234). According to these authors, cultures that promote a childlike frivolity and playfulness are especially important today following the wave of downsizing that beleaguered corporate capitalism in the early 1990s. Perhaps echoing the current interest in corporate spirituality and enchantment (Casey, 2002; Kline & Izzo, 1999), they claimed that managers must now try to counter labor discontent by fundamentally changing the meaning of work among employees and managers alike. This article critically examines a managed culture of fun in a communications organization. It will be argued that an important aspect of this management approach is the symbolic blurring of the boundary that has traditionally demarcated work and nonwork experiences. This boundary of course has antecedents that can be traced back to the industrial revolution whereby home, lifestyle, recreation, and play were severed from the act of labor by the ...

  • 6. Orientation Questionnaire For Sports Psychology I recently took a Work Orientation Questionnaire for Sport Psychology. I scored highest on the work orientation, but I decided to research and talk about mastery orientation. Even though mastery orientation was the lowest score of the three, I feel like I can relate a little bit more by viewing the questions being asked within the Questionnaire. Readers, I am not disagreeing with the results of the quiz; however, I am expanding on an area that personally fits me better. This is for people who are focused on developing and progressing skills, but also for gaining additional knowledge. If readers are looking for a more descripted definition, it's best defined as using the goal of learning and mastering the task according to standards set by you. Students find approval with the work and are not conflicted by external factors. These students also tend to participate in work or activities that increase their learning, which involves more attention, collecting information at a higher level, and are open to asking questions. I plan on being a basketball coach at the junior high or high school level. I want to talk to the readers about mastery orientation within sport performance. Most players, regardless of sport, are ego–orientated people due to the theme of winning or success. Before I continue, I am not suggesting that I prefer all my players to be just mastery oriented. I believe a positive ego oriented athlete can reflect positively and help with the mastery oriented part. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Farm Girl Summary of Farm Girl Anderson Jude ENG 115 Professor Chris Swindell Strayer University October 23rd, 2013 The short story Farm Girl is an in depth look at life through the eyes of a young girl growing up with her family on a farm. Throughout this non–fiction story the author Jessica Hemauer, does an amazing job of describing her surroundings to pull the reader in and make them feel like they are there with her. She begins as a younger girl describing how difficult it is for a child to awake from a deep slumber, and immediately get to work doing jobs some grown men would cringe at.

She uses her years of experience from working on the farm to her advantage, and is finally able to do all the things she has always thought to be impossible. "I join the homecoming club, audition for musicals and plays, serve as the president of the student council as well as president of my class" (Hemauer, 2011 p. 86). Before ending the story she tells the reader how all of her activities have not made her feel any less different then she did before. However, she comes to the realization that if it had not been for all of those years of hard work on the farm, then she would not be able to manage her time as well as she does to be able to participate in all those activities, and at the same time hold down a job, and perform better than others in the work place (Hemauer, 2011). The entire story I felt as if I was there on the farm with the young girl. I was drawn to read it more than once not because it was difficult to understand, but because the descriptions were so vivid I did not want to overlook anything. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the short story Farm Girl, and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for an interesting story to read. References Hemauer, J. (2011) Farm Girl.

  • 8. Reflective Essay Work When it comes to work, most of my "work" is comprised of personal projects or school work––I don't have a job in the sense of something that will make me money. I work best when i am told exactly what my tasks will be and when I have to do them. I can do self directed work, but it is harder for me. I think it's because when there is someone who is telling me that a certain task is essential, I am afraid of what will happen if I don't meet the deadline, whereas I don't scare myself as much. As for the the specific kinds of work I like to do, I enjoy working with both my hands and my mind equally. I don't enjoy super labor–intensive jobs, but I like jobs where I still get to create something. That said, I also need proof that what I am doing is actually productive, and worth something. What I make does not have to be a physical object, but I wouldn't be able to stand a job where I know what I do might not even be used. I do not have an official job. All of the work that I have done has either been for school or for myself, and a lot of my personal projects are writing or art based, since I want them to lead directly into practicing skills for a possible future career. These things might not be considered "work," but they are still productive, and the fact that I have thought about how these activities might lead into a future career might suggest that I have thought about how much effort and time getting and working at that career will take.

These make achieving goals much easier, and in the end, it leads to success by completing the tasks needed to get towards the goal, whether that be obtaining food or conquering an entire continent. In Golding 's Lord of the Flies, a lack of mutual respect between the leaders and followers as well as the failure to unite themselves to work together for the same goals, resulted in chaos, and ultimately, the division and failure of their society on the island.

Ralph and Piggy begin to expose the problems with a group divided when scolding Jack. "'I was chief, and you were going to do what I said. You talk. But you can't even build huts– then you go off hunting and let out the fire [...] This job was too much. We needed everyone. [...] You could have had everyone when the shelters were finished. But you had to hunt–'" (70–71 Golding) The followers are some of the most important and influential people in the success or deterioration of a society. Ralph was their leader, but not only did people not listen to him, they also didn't do what he told them to do. Without enough followers listening to him, they were unable to keep the fire going, Ralph's main goal which could've helped bring rescue to them. It was much more difficult, and the boys were unable to efficiently and effectively work to accomplish their goal, the main event that lead to the group fights. Since Jack and some other boys didn't listen to their leader, they not only hurt their chances of rescue and survival, but split the group, turning friends into enemies which lead to multiple unnecessary and unwarranted deaths on the island.

The team was not able to meet the deadline set by Parker because Millar and Boyce did not meet the daily goals. Since the deadline was not met, each team member would not receive the bonus of $300. Another symptom is Millar's lack motivation towards the end of the project. The cause of the symptoms includes low daily wages, insufficient training, and inequality.

This could serve as an external motivator to find efficient ways to get the job done. Although all of the team members had the ability to do the job, Millar and Boyce lacked the skills to do the job efficiently. Another cause of the symptoms in this cause is the lack of direction or training. Once Parker realized Millar and Boyce where not meeting the daily goals, he could have talked with. No them, found out why the goals weren't being met, and came up with some suggestions that would help in meeting the goals. Parker was also mute when on Day 6 Millar produced 8ВЅ lengths. This would have been a great time to boost Millar's motivation. Focusing on positive versus the negative aspects will improve individual morale and well as the organizational atmosphere.

However, as I did each activity, I found myself enjoying each and every one. From sitting in a board meeting to collecting trash, I discovered something new in all of the ways I volunteered. Not only did the people I volunteered for gain something through my service, but I feel that I gained a lot as well. The first activity I completed was observing a Davidson County School Board meeting on the topic of an information breach that occurred. I took notes throughout the meeting and supported every teacher that spoke about their concerns. Collecting trash around the Ledford High School campus, both the football and baseball stadiums on two different occasions, was the next activity I completed. I then helped to paint a set for the Ledford Production of The Music Man. When the Special Olympics was held at Ledford, I decided to use that opportunity to become a buddy. I took the athlete and his family that I was paired with around to the different games that were offered, and got him water and snacks when he needed it. I was also a buddy for multiple athletes at the Miracle League of High Point. I assisted and encouraged each child as they batted, ran the bases, and played in the outfield in every game.

The problem appears to be a total lack of supervision and management oversight as the work location is completely isolated from other areas of the shop floor. This lack of supervision has led to a number of concerns. Specifically, the issues of horseplay, extended breaks andoperator disruptions, which all lead to a loss of production, are clearly visible during daily operations. These problems, while on the surface may seem trivial, the loss of production and absence of concern for operator safety need to be addressed.

Third, because the work is not mentally stimulating or challenging, it is recommended that workspace modification be made. These could include additional or improved natural lighting, as well as the introduction of music. A radio could provide enough mental stimulation that would help keep the operators focused on the "clicking" operation, while also reducing the amount of verbal conversations and discourses on various subjects. Of course, this brings new issues which include; musical preferences of each operator may be significantly different. Because George is the team lead, he should be responsible for maintaining proper behavior of the operators of the equipment, as well as, adhering to the guidelines for the appropriate length of work breaks. If this means the enforcement of existing, or the development of new policies, George's roles and responsibilities should be explicitly defined to include this task. If he is not fulfilling these duties, he should be coached in private so that he understands the importance of maintaining professional mannerisms around the dangerous "clicking" equipment.

  • 18. Music Is The Sounds And Lack Of Sounds Of A Musical Work Jae Yun Professor Jonathan Beckett MUS 124 – 255W July 31, 2015 MUS124 Long Paper One of the basic ideas defining music is outlined in the Professor Michael B. Bakan's second proposition: that the sounds and lack of sounds of a musical work are organized. Throughout the past years, many professors of ethnomusicology and music in general have attempted to define exactly what music is. Although there was and is a lot of discussion on the matter, most researchers began with the notion that music is essentially organized sound. However, there are cases where sounds are organized but humans do not consider them as music. Some of these instances include speech, poetry, and natural sounds. Due to this primitive and elementary basis that music is organized sound, researchers have attempted to create conditions or categories which music falls into. Despite the conflicting opinions on the different characteristics, I, along with most researchers, believe that although music is indeed a form of organized sounds and silences, this definition is too broad to accurately define music. Every form of music we hear includes an organized framework in which sounds come together. Although music is organized sound, it can be argued that not all organized sound is music. For example, language and human speech consists of words, which essentially organized sounds. However, we do not consider a conversation between people as music. Another example is natural sound we hear from the environment. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

These debriefings brought everyone together and created a spirit of community, which is one way the book focused in encouraging the Heart (Kouzes & Posner, 2014). Another skill that was something a truly focused on during the summer was Enabling Others to Act. It was based on fostering collaboration and strengthening others (Kouzes & Posner, 2014).

Puccini worked with two librettists while writing Turandot: Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni (Edmonton Opera, Program Notes, p.17). This musical work is a late romantic opera, with an emphasis on emotions being prevalent throughout the opera (Kerman & Tomlinson, Listen, 8th edition, 2015, p. 274). As the conductor took his place in the pit, the audience began the performance with a loud applause. When the curtains were drawn back, the audience's attention was immediately fixed upon the stage. As the characters began to file in, one's eyes were easily drawn to the characters of wealth and importance as their costumes were more colourful and lavish then those of the chorus. The music accompanying this image drew the audience even further into the performance as its stylistic features helped to portray a sense of urgency and warning.

I know that it is said in jest, but it is a typical stereotyping comment which is made, which seems to be accepted by society. I don't drive, so I don't take offence to the comment, but I do stand up for other female drivers when the comment is made though, because I wouldn't be surprised if other females, who do drive, do take offence to such a comment.

The motivation could have been reduced if the work been assigned one at a time instead of all at the start allowing people to focus on one thing at a time and seeing the list of work get smaller. A problem with using this flat management with free development is that there are not a lot of examples to follow with many companies using agile.

May of 2000 was the summer going into my sophomore year of high school and I was venturing into my first tax–paying job at Sonic. I liked the structure it had, compared to the odd summer jobs I had been picking up in the past. From the ripe age of 16, I had already began the process of evaluating personnel, process's for improvements, and trying to create a safer work environment for myself and those around me. With the start of my senior year quickly approaching, I was already balancing sports, grades, college applications, and now my employer was asking me to step up from a shift leader to assistant manager. I always had the thoughts, if I were the manager I would do this or I would do that. The same thoughts everyone else was having, except I wasn't saying unrealistic comments like; we would have two–hour lunches and I wouldn't make anyone work Friday nights. I was looking at how personnel were used and how their strengths were not being maximized. I was critiquing the processes that had been in place well before I came around, that had never been questioned.

The aim of Taylorism is to maixmise productivity and minimise waste of resources using specialisation of labour. There are three main components of Taylorism and it will be discussed in detail in the later paragraphs. Firstly, according to Rose, M. (1978), Taylor believes that the root of inefficiency is the slacking and soldiering of workers. And irrational and incompetent of managers. He further explained the idea of inefficacy by stating 'managers are incompetent is because of the growth in scale and technical complexity of industry'. In order to dealt with the slackness of worker, the worker should be closely control and supervise by inspector. This ensures that no one will shirk during work and the chance of worker making mistakes are minimized. Hence worker will produce the maximum effort which leads to increase in productivity. Taylorism also suggested the use of hierarchy organization structure which means separating the decision maker, usually the managers and the people who receive orders from the managers and implement it. This is because he believes that people with no management skills will not be able to make a right decision and hence may leads to a waste of resources. Besides supervision, Taylor asserted that managers should apply their professional knowledge on managing their worker and plan the work. For example, calculating the ...

I became the presidential advisor for Student Government Association, member of the National Honor Society, treasurer of the German Club, squad leader for the drill team, member of the select choir and concert band, worked part time, and continued my outside–of–school activities. But, my best moments were when I was the co–chair for homecoming. The president of SGA asked me to co–chair homecoming and I was in complete shock, under the impression I was nowhere near significant or "popular" enough to hold this position. The stress, the early mornings, the tough decisions, the budgeting and fundraising issues, I loved every challenge and reward that came with the position.

This vision and mission will help determine the steps I need to take now in order to become the type of leader that others will follow. Next, I discuss those internal and external obstacles which may prevent me from achieving my goals. Lastly, I will identify the steps I will take to overcome or mitigate those obstacles.

By so doing, it is my sincere desire and hope of it actually happening.

  • 30. Latent Defect Essay Mike Christensen December 10, 2009 CM 385: Section 1 Final Paper How Can A Contractor Avoid Liability for Defective Work? Every contract created produces a margin of risk and a platform for success. Depending on how one manages the risk assumed, one may either excel and shine in the glory of success or drown and disappear in the raging waters of error. Nevertheless, to become great one must take that step of faith into the flailing wind. As said by Leo F. Buscalglia, "The person who risks nothing– does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn... and grow... and live." (Buscalglia, 2009)The contractor who is bound to the owner must understand the risk ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Binghamton Housing Authority. It was six years after the completion of the Saratoga Terrace apartment complex when a child fell off the back porch stoop and received severe injuries. The parents of the child claimed that the contractor and owner were responsible due to their negligence in constructing the stoop without a protective railing. The court referenced back to the Campo v. Schofield case, which states, "We have not yet reached the state where a manufacturer is under the duty of making a machine accident proof or foolproof." The court also noted that the complex had been used without accident for six years and that it did not conceal any dangers or defective work that would not have been found by a reasonable inspection. The outcome of the case proved that the pleading did not contain any allegation of a defect, and that the liability rested upon the parents of the child. Consequently, the phrase Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware) protects the contractor from future claims as long as the defective work existed at the time of inspection and could have reasonably been identified. Nevertheless, a contractor must also understand that if the defective work is classified as a latent defect, the risk and liability associated with this defect may be transferred back to the contractor. Therefore, a contractor must understand what a latent ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 31. Select One Musical Work from the Period 1100-1500 and... The musical work that I am going to use in this essay is "Non avra ma' pieta" by Francesco Landini. Classical Archives (2008) have noted that Francesco Landini was the most celebrated musician in the first school of polyphonic music in Italy. They also say that Landini was born in Fiesole on the outskirts of Florence and that he was the son of Jacopo Del Casentino, a painter and student of Giotto. It also states that when Francesco Landini was a child, he suffered from smallpox and as a result of this, left him blind for the rest of his life. He dealt with this by taking refuge in music. One way in how Landini done this was by playing a wide range of instruments. One in particular that he mastered was the organ. Landini was famed for his ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In the piece of music I am studying, there are only 3 accidentals. One being F sharp another is C sharp and last is B flat. Although in this time period, music wouldn't have a major or minor key as such, when listening to this piece of music it would be easy to come to the conclusion that the piece sounds more major than minor. However when reading the translation of the song "She will never have mercy, this lady of mine, if you do not see it, love" it will suggest that the ballata is of a minor key. Francesco Landini's 'Non avra ma pieta' does not have a musical background as such. Like many others of Landini's work 'Non avra ma pieta' does not have a publish data. This then makes it hard to know how old Landini was when he composed this piece and also whereabouts he composed it. Most of his other 154 or so works were composed in his home town Fiesole, Florence (where he also died) so I would guess that this ballata was also composed there as well. When looking at the melody in the ballata 'Non Avra ma pieta' it will be important to break it down into section. These would be: range, shape and movement. The range of this piece is in a medium arrangement, most notes for the treble clef are in the middle of the stave throughout the piece with some high and low notes. The ranges of notes used are not of a narrow range as they move up and down the scale freely. Then main range of notes that will be found in this sorrowful piece will be from middle C in the treble clef ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The task that I was assigned with was to help with the transition of one online class system to another. Overall, there was a lot of work that had to be done in order to meet the specified deadlines. Personally, I was put in charge of creating two classes in the new format of Blackboard that the university was planning to switch to. With all of the work that had to be done for each class, the professor made specific students in charge of certain classes and then gave each person in charge a team of other students to help the leader with the class. As a team leader, I was responsible for delegating certain objectives out to the rest of the team, while also performing my own tasks. Each task had a concrete deadline to meet and it was crucial that I meet all set deadlines if I expected the rest of my team to meet their deadlines. This helped to hold everyone accountable because if one member of the team slacked, then it gave a bad look to the team as a whole. Furthermore, we had a peer review system put in place ...

For example savings account online normally have a higher interest rate to those offered in branch these accounts are optional for every customer however you need to bank online to manage the account therefore you automatically introducing yourself to a new avenue of banking.

Barbara Kruger's Untitled (I Shop Therefore I Am) is a visually simple but bold work that evokes postmodern themes including media, popular culture, and consumer cultures. The daring and aggressive red text box draws the viewer's eye directly to the bold phrase in white font. "Kruger reformulated RenГ© Descartes' philosophical proposition of cognitive existence, 'I think therefore I am', into a motto for the hyper–ventilated acquisitive world of the 1980s boom time..." (Engberg). Descartes' theory implies that as long as an individual is simply thinking there is an active engagement that is occurring that justifies a meaningful existence. Thus, thinking gives substance to an individual's life. By replacing the word "think" with the word "shop" Kruger is making a social commentary on society's shift from cognitive value to material value and exposes the tie between consumer culture and personal identity. We are no longer defined by what we think but by what we buy; as a result, our culture has become so overwhelmed with materialism that people have become more reliant on the products that they buy and the materials that they own to define who they are. The contrasting themes of intellectual value versus material value in Kruger's work instigates the viewer to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 39. The Importance Of Team Dynamics And Communication Throughout my semester in SciTech, perhaps the most important thing that I took away from my experience was the importance of team dynamics and communication in collaborative projects, and this is particularly true in engineering fields, where it is absolutely essential to success, and, in my opinion, significantly more important than the skill of knowledge of individual team members after a certain point. Every team that I was part of during SciTech, the team for the semester challenge especially, had numerous issues in cooperation and communication, and conflict repeatedly arises, though we eventually learned how best to function together and were able to successfully complete the challenge before D4 with a significant amount of time to spare, though we did have some issues with time management in regard to the Final Report later. I have found that, although relevant skills to the task at hand, proficiency with SolidWorks or a general aptitude for mechanical engineering for example, organizational abilities, or other things of that nature, these are effectively useless without a developer work ethic, a willingness to accept feedback and learn, the ability to effectively resolve disputes, and good communication, all of which are immensely valuable in a collaborative setting.

It is the church where I was baptized (for a second time), took first communion and affirmed my faith through confirmation. I belonged at St. Johns. I was a member of St. Johns. As I entered adulthood, I had a natural instinct for organization and leadership and I had a strong interest in using those talents to serve the church. I worked with youth groups, participated in WELCA, served on the church council and it seemed there wasn't a task I would not take on. Many people, myself included, anticipated the next logical stop on my journey would be seminary. But I didn't feel or hear the call at the time. Nearly two decades later, I started to put the pieces of the puzzle together. It would start with a simple but powerful statement, "We are called to make disciples, not members." That statement would lead me to reflect on and seek out a better understanding of what it meant to be a disciple. That, in turn, led me to study and reflect on the concept of servanthood. I realized that developing a more personal and authentic relationship with Christ required more than just attending worship, working in the church and simply believing in Him. I realized that living a Christ–like life required a different way of thinking, a different way of living. The years that followed were filled with more questions than answers.
