My Career As A Career
First starting this class I didn't know what exactly what I wanted to do with a career. I was between two
careers trying to figure out what would be best for me. The CIT career would be nice to learn
something entirely new and at the same time tie it in with business some how. The problem I was
having is trying to figure out what I was going to do with it. Doing the first set of activities in this class
allowed me to learn what I really wanted in a job and what I can do with out. My career must allow me
freedom to choose what I want to do to be able to create what I want. My career must allow me to
choose my own hours. Don't get me wrong that I will only work a little because I am going to put in
hours around the clock. What I mean with flexible hours is that if something comes up I will be able to
work around it. It must also allow me to show leadership and call shot. Things that aren't so important
but still hold value is that my job should allow me not to work on Sunday. If I have to once in a while
because there is no way around it, that is understandable. My job should allow me to come home for
dinner most nights and be with my family. It could be not stressful but I deal with stress good and don't
mind it. It could also be not dealing with so many angry people but I can handle them pretty will. The
first option that I choose for my career list is computer–networking architect. This option really

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

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

Now, go through your list and identify things that need to get done but could be completed just as well,
or better, by someone else. Highlight these with blue. This could be cleaning house, yard work,
booking appointments and book keeping.
Who can you hire to do some of these tasks? Put it into your calendar to hire someone to do those

Reflection On Professionalism
Being a professional is more than wearing fancy suites, and speaking with complex linguistics.
Professionalism is described as conduct or qualities that are foreseen as professional. Professionalism
can be taught by a person or learned from experiences. For me, personally, I will reflect on my ethical
and personal professionalism and the innate journey it has taken me thus far.
Let's begin from the being of my endeavors in the professional realm. I first learned how to be a

feel that this profession will also challenge me more than ever before.
As a professional I am asked to put my moral, personal views and cultural entity on hold for the greater
good, while being self–aware. I believe my self–acceptance will favor me in my profession. Yet my
comfort, loyalty, conscious moral will be tested beyond measurable expectations. In addition being
fully aware of these possibilities I am still as passionate if not more about the profession.
Another, facet is that being part of the field of counseling, I must abide by ethical standards. These
ethical standards are very black and white, but I use these very cut and dry standards to cater to an
intense colorful multitude of situations. Gasping the concept of the ethical standards being a

Media Violence
"Children are among the greatest of imitators " The debate over media violence has eluded definitive
answers for more then three decades. At first glance, the debate is dominated by one question. Whether
or not media violence causes real life violence and whether or not it has a negative effect of the modern
day Canadian family. Closer examination reveals a political battle. On one hand, there are those who
blame media violence for societal violence and want to censor violent content to protect our children.
On the other hand, there are those who see regulation as a slippery slope to censorship or a smoke
screen hiding the basic causes of violence in society. One thing is certain: the issue of media violence

Violence has always played a role in Television. But there's a growing concern that, in recent years,
something about media violence has changed. Laval University professors Guy Paquette and Jacques
de Guise studied six major Canadian television networks over a seven–year period, examining films,
situation comedies, dramatic series, and children's programming. The study found that between 1993
and 2001, incidents of physical violence increased by 378 per cent. TV shows in 2001 averaged 40 acts
of violence per hour (Public Health Agency, 2003). Throughout the cycle of life we imitate others in
order to learn new thing and to reinforce our identity within a particular group. The following are
stories of children imitating characters from television with tragic results; A five year old boy sets his
home on fire, killing his two year old sister following a Beavis and Butthead episode. The boy's mother

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

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–

A Discussion Of Herodotus And Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca
It's a New World
(A discussion of Herodotus, Cabeza de Vaca and their explorations)
When you stumble upon something new, what's your first instinct? Sharing the information with others,
soaking in the sight you're seeing, or even trying to document everything that is in front of you. The
discovery of new land, people, and their way of life is one for the record books. An event like this will
go down in history, and so will the person that did the discovering. This was the case for Herodotus and
Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca. Herodotus was born in Halicarnassus, what today is known as turkey.
He is considered by most to have been the first Greek historian, therefore the first European historian.

His travels lead him more around different parts of America and not different countries. An article,
titled Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca: The Great Pedestrian of North and South America, briefly
describes some of the whereabouts of Cabeza de Vaca as he traveled around America. "All five rafts
eventually wrecked along the coast of Texas... Soon Cabeza de Vaca was traveling into the southeastern
Texas mainland... Cabeza de Vaca and the other castaways decided to escape their Indian captors and
marched south and west hoping to find their Spanish compatriots in central Mexico," (Álvar Núñez
Cabeza de Vaca: The Great Pedestrian of North and South America). From this portion of the article, it
is understood that Cabeza de Vaca did traveling, just as Herodotus did. Both men were also known for
their firsts. Cabeza de Vaca was one of the first to visit America and stay with the tribes that inhabited
land. Also one of the first from his country to document what he had seen while there. Herodotus was
also known for his firsts. Scott W. Nixon, in his article, elaborates on this. "Herodotus, is thought of as
the first Greek and thereby the first Western historian...Those who did archaeological exploration in

Computer Interaction Has Changed Within The Economy

factors which interlink with this. These are increased automation, productivity and varied working

ways of banking to suit economy. Know two individuals bank the same everyone likes something

This is a prime example of how changes within the economy are effecting those who work for the
banks and also customers of the bank.
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 of
banking.
It could be argued that making changes is harming the economy as manual labour is taking a cut
therefore more individuals are unemployed. More unemployment puts a strain on the government this
would then be costing the government.

o retail (Inc. stock levels/reordering)
Within the retail environment there has also been many changes which have had a knock on effect with
the economy. The two many factors which need to be consider would be stock levels and reordering of

This was a skill that focused on helping your followers know that you are proud of them and the

the moment, but during debriefing on orientation days it was nice to celebrate our accomplishments or
how people worked through hard situations. 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). I found
this was a hard skill for me to work on because I like to do things my way. I worked through it by truly
listening to others ideas, and the fact that I was a new S.O.C. I wanted to learn as much as I could from
the returning members of my team. My skit group created a strong bond of trust in each other to get
our work done in a timely manner. The last skill was Challenge the Process and this for me has always
been a hard skill to get my self to do. This has been my main focus this summer, and I continue to work
on it to this day.

Work Is a Source of Satisfaction and Joy for Individuals
Introduction
In this essay, I am going to argue that work can certainly be a source of satisfaction and joy for
individuals. Throughout Section One of the essay, I will be referring to Rosen (1988), Ackoryd and
Crowdy (1990) and Knights et al (1982), by introducing some of the possible reasons why individual
work. Additionally in Section Two of the essay, I will explore the positive aspects relating to work and
how these aspects can play a part in relations to the individuals emotionally, physically and mentally,
by drawing upon Jackall (1988), Rosen (1988), Ackroyd and Crowdy (1990), Knights and Roberts
(1982) and Jackson and Carter (2000). Furthermore in Section Three of the essay, I will draw upon
Jackall (1988), Ackroyd and Crowdy ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In my understanding satisfaction and joy are two different elements, satisfaction is obtained through
hard work, and joy is considered as more and more central way to achieve happiness. As Ackroyd and
Crowdy (1990) point out from the case study of English slaughtermen, employee satisfaction can be
achieved despite all the discrimination, harassments, and highly routinised dirty working condition the
workers face on a daily basis. Similarly Jackall's (1988) moral mazes study of corporate American
managers also indicates that besides all the routinised high pressure based decisions managers
undertake, there is also a light at the end of the tunnel, and that that is the light of satisfaction obtained
through hard work and commitment and making the right decision at the right time. I personally
believe satisfaction factor really reflects the social context of employment between the individual and
the management which the individual is required to operate under. Furthermore satisfaction can be a
motivation factor for the individual from both the financial and non financial aspects.
From one aspect working hard can lead to a higher salary for the individual, as well as the confidence
boost they are given by the management through rewards, incentives, social activities and praises. As
for the non financial aspect, Knights and Roberts (1982) add, employees tend to

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

T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land
T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" – The Most Influential Work in Modern Literature
T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" is considered by many to be the most influential work in modern
literature. First published in 1922, it captures the feelings and sentiments of modern culture after World
War I. Line thirty of "The Waste Land," "I will show you fear in a handful of dust," is often viewed as a
symbol of mankind's fear of death and resulting love of life. Eliot's masterpiece–with its revolutionary
ideas–inspired writers of his era, and it continues to affect writers even today.
In the first two lines of "The Waste Land," Eliot says, "April is the cruellest month, breeding/Lilacs out
of the dead land" (l. 1–2). Eliot shows the connection between ... Show more content on

Not everyone appreciates life after suffering the death of someone close to him. After the death of
Mary, Ade is forced to leave the mission. A few weeks later, Santigie must also return home after the
death of his father, Chief Bombolai. The "Brothers Three," seemingly separated forever, are not
appreciating life more than they did before. Each boy is dead to the others; none of them believe they
will ever see each other again. After several months, however, the "Brothers Three" are reunited. They
promise to always stay together, and each boy has an optimistic outlook on life again.
Eliot's own pessimism toward life amid the destruction of World War I is evident throughout most of
the poem. He uses many dark images to suggest death and brokenness, but Eliot contrasts those
depictions with pictures of life and energy. In the second stanza of section one, Eliot vividly describes a
desert wasteland. A few lines later in the same stanza, he depicts a young "hyacinth girl" (l. 37) and a
lush garden full of flowers. These two contrasting images of life and death are mirrored in the final
pages of No Past No Present No Future. Ade and Bodil move Denmark after their engagement. A few

The Relationship between Academic Obstacles and Facilitators
University students make up a large population in most countries and may be the most important
individual's part of a society; as they constitute of future professionals and degree obtainers. The life of
a student is very different to other age groups and may prove to be extremely stressful and pressurised
as the importance to having a profession, especially in South Africa, is heightened because of financial
pressure and recessions. It has been argued and researched that the well–being of a student is important
for their academic performance, therefore their health needs to be taken into context and maintained to
ensure peak performance. The purpose of this essay is to assess the relationship between academic
obstacles and facilitators and how they hinder or promote academic performance, as well as how it
may affect the well–being of the student.
When students are going through a stressful period in their studies, such as exam time or when
assignments are due, they often feel exhausted and sometimes unable to manage their time properly in
order to get their work done on time, or simply not being able to cope with the nature of the work. It is
argued that students who are experiencing emotional exhaustion will perform poorly in their studies
(Salanova, Schaufeli, Martinez & Breso, 2008). This is because students who feel exhausted will
experience feelings of demotivation, irritability, detachment and cynicism towards their work. While

The Rhetorical Situation Summary
In his article, "The Rhetorical Situation," Lloyd Bitzer defines and elaborates on rhetorical situation.
He writes, "Rhetorical situation may be defined as a complex of persons, events, objects, and relations
presenting an actual or potential exigence which can be completely or partially remove if discourse,
introduced into the situation, can so constrain human decision or action as to bring about the significant
modification of the exigence" (6). To put it simply, a rhetorical situation is some response to a certain
situation (Bitzer 3). Bitzer also explains that there are three parts to any rhetorical situation: the
exigence, the audience, and the constraints. These three components exist before any discourse is
created or presented (6.)
On July 27th, 2016, Avalon lifeguard Emily Blake sent a message to the other members of the Avalon
staff, informing them that she could not work her assigned shift due to other commitments that she
needed to attend to. Following Bitzer's definition, Emily's message in response to this complication is a
response to a rhetorical situation. When composing her response, Emily had the choice of what method
of communication she would use and with who she would communicate. Because of the decisions she
made regarding these two matters, Emily's response to the rhetorical situation was an ... Show more

Not only did this provide them with a sense of family and connection, but it also provided them with a
tacitly agreed upon way of working with each other. The new system separated employees from their
work group and completely disrupted the established work process. Thus, whereas the previous system
felt like 'home' to employees, the new system felt like 'hell.' Compounding this problem was the wide
gap in the cultures of the work units as they had been previously structured and the attempts by
employees to maintain their allegiances with their 'like–minded' former coworkers, at the expense of
finding an effective means of building relationships with their new coworkers. The manager, an
outsider, appeared to have little appreciation of these interpersonal dynamics. Your analysis of this case
study should illustrate a number of concepts. For example, you can apply Lewin's force field analysis.
Identify forces which pull the laboratory back to the past and those forces which push the laboratory
toward its revised structure. Also, you can use change management strategies in this case study to
illustrate the mechanisms for introducing change in a well established system. Had senior management

Smith et al.(1969) treated job satisfaction both as a general attitude and as satisfaction with five
specific dimensions: pay, work, promotion, supervision, and co–workers. According to Pareek (1989),
stated organizational climate is cre¬ated by the perception of organizational members about the
out¬come of interactions among five components of the organization. These interaction components
are Structure, System, Culture, Leader behaviour, and employees' psychological needs. Allen & Meyer,
(1990) O'Reiily & Chatman, (1986) stated The Organizational commitment refers to the psychological
attachment of workers to their workplaces Commitment to organizations is positively related to such
desirable outcomes as job satisfaction (Bateman& Stasser, 1984; Mowday, Porter, & Steers, 1982),
motivation (Mowday, Steers,& Porter,1979), and attendance (Mathieu & Zajac, 1990; Steers &
Rhodes, 1978) and negatively related to such outcomes as absenteeism and turnover (Clegg, 1983;
Cotton & Tuttle,1986). Also, Horton stated that stronger commitment could result in less turnover and
absenteeism, thus increasing an organization's productivity (Schuler & Jackson, 1996, p.302).

Analysis Of Trisha Brown
If not for Trisha Brown the current modern genre would be very different from how it is today. Trisha
Brown was essentially a revolutionary modern choreographer. Trisha Brown's movements were finding
the extraordinary in everyday life. They began challenging the existing perceptions of what is
considered performance. Trisha Brown's style as well as the concepts that it produced were severely
influential to modern dance then, as well as now.
Trisha Brown graduated from Mills College, which is in California, she then began to teach at Reed
College which is in Portland, Oregon. Then in 1961 she moved to New York and in 1970 Trisha Brown
began revolutionizing the dance world, specifically the modern genre. In 1968 Trisha Brown created a
piece called Falling Duets. Unfortunately I was unable to find any videos of the work. However there
was a description of the work on Trisha Brown's website and there were any "recreations" of her work.
The piece is one big excellent example of weight sharing and it is quite the physical representation of
trust between two people. The other work that I planned to study was called The Stream. Now I was
also unable to find a video as this piece involved members of the public, although, I was able to find an
in depth description of the piece. There was a large "U" shaped wooden structure filled with pots and
pans that were full of water and the people passing were encouraged to walk through it. Some chose to
walk straight through the water, others chose to avoid the water. It sounds like something that would
have been amazing to watch as it took place in 1970.
I studied four more works by Trisha Brown: Watermotor, I'm Going to Toss My Arms– if You Catch
Them They're Yours, Set and Reset, and If You Couldn't See Me. The first of these Trisha Brown works
that I studied as Watermotor. This was a very fluid, water–like piece. All of the movements fit and
flowed together nothing was choppy. It almost seemed like maybe she repeated the same movements
but they were just different enough that they were not exactly the same. This piece was created in 1978
which was just a few years after Trisha Brown created her piece known as The Stream. It seems to me
as though Tisha Brown was very into

The Four Styles Of Learning By Honey And Mumford
Learning is the art of gaining skills, preference, information, ethics, behavior and can engage one in
grasping different kind of information. There are many styles of learning, as we being college students
we can have many learning styles. According to Honey and Mumford there are four major styles of
learning as follows Activists, Reflectors, Theorists and Pragmatists.
Activists are the people who a re risk takers and they like experimenting new things and doing the
work based on trial and error method. For instance when a student learns a new chemical formula in a
chemistry class, he would be more enthusiastic to do the experiment at home and see what the result is.
He would take the risk to do the experiment at home irrespective of what the result of it was to be due
to curiosity, and the will to understand further.

Core Values Of My Life
Friedman reading lists many core values, but the ones that are most important to me and have
influenced me the most include: Physical Fitness, Creativity, Enjoyment, and Family. Physical fitness
means, staying in shape through physical activity and healthy nutrition. This has always been a big part
of my life. In my childhood I incorporated physical activity through different activities my mother
would sign me up for such as, swimming, roller staking, and dancing. As I got older my main physical
activity was dance, I grew to love it and it helped me stay in shape. Along, with this though I always
tried to eat a healthy diet because my family has a history of high blood pressure. Being physically fit
influenced me to make healthy choices and break away from my family's history of health problems. It
also, lead me to healthier eating choices now and more physical activity through other sports such as
kickboxing which also builds disciple leading to a more organized lifestyle and doing better in school
because of it.
Furthermore, physical fitness led to creativity, which is another major influence in my life. Creativity
according to Friedman is discovering, developing, or designing new ideas or things; demonstrating
imagination. As I mentioned previously, physical fitness has been a big part of my life, most of all this
consisted dance. My mother's love for dance was passed on to me and through this I learned creativity.
I have been dancing for almost fourteen years and I have picked up many different techniques. Being a
dancer involves a lot of creativity because you need to be able to learn new styles and create your own
dances using these styles. My creativity in dance followed through to the classrooms I've sat in. It has
allowed me to think outside of the box and get creative with class projects and with work. Often times
my friends come to me when they want new idea's or a different view on projects they are working on
and it feels great that I am able to help them. Another value that has greatly impacted my life is
enjoyment. Enjoyment is fun, joy, and laughter. Without this my life would dull and unfulfilled. My

The most influential artist to me in this exemplary in this pursuit for the appropriated traditions is

the chance for relating a body that is familiar. I see contemporary painter, Kehinde Wiley as a
comparable to my work in regards to the topic as well as the manipulation of the human figure. The
admirable features I see in Kehinde Wiley's work in addition to these is the fantasy elements that are
incorporated. These features are best exhibited in his piece, "Bound". The work is a bronze sculpture
that stands approximately four feet tall and two–and half feet wide. The composition is inviting as it
includes busts of three identical women that have African descent features that are placed on a rounded
triangle base. The expressions on all of the faces are of a staring and wondering nature that have a
nature of regality as their faces are turned to the right at an approximate forty five degree angle as their
all have their back facing each other to form a guard of the leaves the a laid on their base. The bodies
are cut organically as it rounds off from shoulder to shoulder, just enough to form the upper torso to see

Personal Trainer Certified Through The National Strength...
A particular stressful situation that occurred within the last year was my unrealistic goal to become
Personal Trainer certified through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) in
three–months (over the summer). What made this goal difficult was the fact that it took me a long time
each day to finally sit down before my book to study, there were days I had to take care of my grandma
in place of her other caregiver, spending too much time at the gym, wasting time on the computer,
wasting time on my phone and on social media, and consecutive days where I pushed studying off. All
of these points really made focusing on studying hard. Each day my intentions were to get to work and
work hard, but just the thought of being in the action of studying repelled me from sitting down and
doing so. In all honesty, some days were easier than others, but the majority weren't as so. To add to all
of this, I had the pressure of the promise I'd made to so many people of being certified before starting
this last semester of college. Given this goal I had for myself, and knowing that getting focused on the
work each day wouldn't be easy, I had a select few hold me accountable for getting my studying done.
The support systems I had in place were my mom, girlfriend at the time, and my dentist, who I was

The And Talent Retention Is Happiness And Workplace...
In any work environment, it is important for all levels of management, including executives and
owners, to consider the working environments for those within the organization or company. The
unofficial secret to longevity and talent retention is happiness and workplace satisfaction. There are
many ways for organizational leaders to promote happy, healthy working environments; the trick is
finding the right combination that works for their particular group of workers and their particular work
environment. Different methods work for different industries and people so it is a matter of trial and
error to find the right fit. There are employment laws in place to ensure fair work practices occur
however, employers should go the extra mile to take care of those who make their business succeed.
According to the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland (2009), "responsibility rests with each
employer to provide and promote a good and harmonious working environment" (p. 3). Making sure
workers are happy can only have positive effects for the company but it is a multistep process that
requires commitment from ever manager involved. Coming up with ways to increase worker
satisfaction is only part of the work; implementing these policies and making it come to life is the
challenge and the greatest responsibility. For example, employers creating a diverse environment can

myself and those around me. With the start of my senior year quickly approaching, I was already

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

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

orientation was the lowest score of the three, I feel like I can relate a little bit more by viewing 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.

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

The Influential works of Andre Antoine

emotional, and physical art form to life. Theatre should depict a real part of life for the audience. This
is the goal that Andre Antoine had set for himself. His view on a realistic theatre brought modern
naturalism to life and continues to be seen in the work of modern day directors. Antoine was alive from
1858 to 1943 in France. France was drawn to street performers and plays with a moral lesson and
political context. The plays of the time would deliver a message to the audience, but the actors would
never move around or show any real emotion. This however also went in the other direction and
displayed productions of melodrama. Antoine was all about getting a story across even if it was
political, but seeing actors stand stiff and deliver lines or overact was something he thought was
unprofessional. Antoine firmly believed in making theatre as realistic as possible in every way.
Antoine knew that he needed to bring his ideas to life and to the stage. He tried to get the director of a
previous theatre group he had worked for at the time, to direct a novel by Emile Zola, but he was
repeatedly turned away. This only fueled him into going further with his ideas. As a result, in 1887 he
founded Theatre–Libre. His theatre was a showcase for naturalistic playwrights such as:

Barbara Kruger : Art History Archive
According to the Art History Archive, Barbara Kruger is an American conceptual artist born in
Newark, New Jersey in 1945. She attended Syracuse University in 1964 where her interests in graphic
design, poetry, and writing developed. A year later, Kruger moved to New York and attended Parsons
School of Design where she was exposed to the creative spheres of photography, fashion, and editorial
design. In 1966, she left Parsons to work for Condé Nast Publications and soon after began to work at
Mademoiselle magazine where she was promoted to head designer. Throughout her professional career,
Kruger worked as a graphic designer, art director, and picture editor for various publications including
House and Garden and Aperture. Kruger's ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
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 René 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

My Career As A Career

  • 1. My Career As A Career First starting this class I didn't know what exactly what I wanted to do with a career. I was between two careers trying to figure out what would be best for me. The CIT career would be nice to learn something entirely new and at the same time tie it in with business some how. The problem I was having is trying to figure out what I was going to do with it. Doing the first set of activities in this class allowed me to learn what I really wanted in a job and what I can do with out. My career must allow me freedom to choose what I want to do to be able to create what I want. My career must allow me to choose my own hours. Don't get me wrong that I will only work a little because I am going to put in hours around the clock. What I mean with flexible hours is that if something comes up I will be able to work around it. It must also allow me to show leadership and call shot. Things that aren't so important but still hold value is that my job should allow me not to work on Sunday. If I have to once in a while because there is no way around it, that is understandable. My job should allow me to come home for dinner most nights and be with my family. It could be not stressful but I deal with stress good and don't mind it. It could also be not dealing with so many angry people but I can handle them pretty will. The first option that I choose for my career list is computer–networking architect. This option really interested me because for my needs of a job it really fulfills the ...

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 ...

At first glance, the debate is dominated by one question. Whether or not media violence causes real life violence and whether or not it has a negative effect of the modern day Canadian family. Closer examination reveals a political battle. On one hand, there are those who blame media violence for societal violence and want to censor violent content to protect our children. On the other hand, there are those who see regulation as a slippery slope to censorship or a smoke screen hiding the basic causes of violence in society. One thing is certain: the issue of media violence is not going away. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Violence has always played a role in Television. But there's a growing concern that, in recent years, something about media violence has changed. Laval University professors Guy Paquette and Jacques de Guise studied six major Canadian television networks over a seven–year period, examining films, situation comedies, dramatic series, and children's programming. The study found that between 1993 and 2001, incidents of physical violence increased by 378 per cent. TV shows in 2001 averaged 40 acts of violence per hour (Public Health Agency, 2003). Throughout the cycle of life we imitate others in order to learn new thing and to reinforce our identity within a particular group. The following are stories of children imitating characters from television with tragic results; A five year old boy sets his home on fire, killing his two year old sister following a Beavis and Butthead episode. The boy's mother describes him as "addicted to Beavis and Butthead," two cartoon characters who enjoy setting fire and other antisocial acts. An adolescent boy was killed by a ...

Final Report Real Time Interactive Group Project Final Report Real Time Interactive group project 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).

A Discussion Of Herodotus And Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca It's a New World (A discussion of Herodotus, Cabeza de Vaca and their explorations) When you stumble upon something new, what's your first instinct? Sharing the information with others, soaking in the sight you're seeing, or even trying to document everything that is in front of you. The discovery of new land, people, and their way of life is one for the record books. An event like this will go down in history, and so will the person that did the discovering. This was the case for Herodotus and Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca. Herodotus was born in Halicarnassus, what today is known as turkey. He is considered by most to have been the first Greek historian, therefore the first European historian. He was a great traveler, visiting ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... His travels lead him more around different parts of America and not different countries. An article, titled Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca: The Great Pedestrian of North and South America, briefly describes some of the whereabouts of Cabeza de Vaca as he traveled around America. "All five rafts eventually wrecked along the coast of Texas... Soon Cabeza de Vaca was traveling into the southeastern Texas mainland... Cabeza de Vaca and the other castaways decided to escape their Indian captors and marched south and west hoping to find their Spanish compatriots in central Mexico," (Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca: The Great Pedestrian of North and South America). From this portion of the article, it is understood that Cabeza de Vaca did traveling, just as Herodotus did. Both men were also known for their firsts. Cabeza de Vaca was one of the first to visit America and stay with the tribes that inhabited land. Also one of the first from his country to document what he had seen while there. Herodotus was also known for his firsts. Scott W. Nixon, in his article, elaborates on this. "Herodotus, is thought of as the first Greek and thereby the first Western historian...Those who did archaeological exploration in Egypt and Mesopotamia found Herodotus ' writings on these subjects useful," (Nixon). His first were very important not only for that time but for people in the future as well. Nixon continues by saying, "His writings also became valuable to biblical scholars in their ...

This is a prime example of how changes within the economy are effecting those who work for the banks and also customers of the bank. 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 of banking. It could be argued that making changes is harming the economy as manual labour is taking a cut therefore more individuals are unemployed. More unemployment puts a strain on the government this would then be costing the government. Increased automation o retail (Inc. stock levels/reordering) Within the retail environment there has also been many changes which have had a knock on effect with the economy. The two many factors which need to be consider would be stock levels and reordering of stock.

These principles each have their own challenges and frustrations, and as a leader they have helped me realize what I can improve on. Modeling the Way was one of my top two practices that I had ranked high on during the skills inventory, and its focus is on finding your ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This was a skill that focused on helping your followers know that you are proud of them and the contributions that they have either done or helped you with. This was hard for me to remember to do in the moment, but during debriefing on orientation days it was nice to celebrate our accomplishments or how people worked through hard situations. 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). I found this was a hard skill for me to work on because I like to do things my way. I worked through it by truly listening to others ideas, and the fact that I was a new S.O.C. I wanted to learn as much as I could from the returning members of my team. My skit group created a strong bond of trust in each other to get our work done in a timely manner. The last skill was Challenge the Process and this for me has always been a hard skill to get my self to do. This has been my main focus this summer, and I continue to work on it to this day. Challenge the Process focused on going outside the box of the organization or group your working with and experimenting with new ideas.

Throughout Section One of the essay, I will be referring to Rosen (1988), Ackoryd and Crowdy (1990) and Knights et al (1982), by introducing some of the possible reasons why individual work. Additionally in Section Two of the essay, I will explore the positive aspects relating to work and how these aspects can play a part in relations to the individuals emotionally, physically and mentally, by drawing upon Jackall (1988), Rosen (1988), Ackroyd and Crowdy (1990), Knights and Roberts (1982) and Jackson and Carter (2000). Furthermore in Section Three of the essay, I will draw upon Jackall (1988), Ackroyd and Crowdy ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In my understanding satisfaction and joy are two different elements, satisfaction is obtained through hard work, and joy is considered as more and more central way to achieve happiness. As Ackroyd and Crowdy (1990) point out from the case study of English slaughtermen, employee satisfaction can be achieved despite all the discrimination, harassments, and highly routinised dirty working condition the workers face on a daily basis. Similarly Jackall's (1988) moral mazes study of corporate American managers also indicates that besides all the routinised high pressure based decisions managers undertake, there is also a light at the end of the tunnel, and that that is the light of satisfaction obtained through hard work and commitment and making the right decision at the right time. I personally believe satisfaction factor really reflects the social context of employment between the individual and the management which the individual is required to operate under. Furthermore satisfaction can be a motivation factor for the individual from both the financial and non financial aspects. From one aspect working hard can lead to a higher salary for the individual, as well as the confidence boost they are given by the management through rewards, incentives, social activities and praises. As for the non financial aspect, Knights and Roberts (1982) add, employees tend to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Growing up, I was involved in countless team–based sports in which I had a number of roles.

I have already realized how important it is that the medical unit function as a team and work together so that the patient is given the best possible treatment. Another team experience came during my first year of undergraduate studies. In this experience, I had the opportunity to work for Texas Tech under one of my professors. 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 ...

Eliot's "The Waste Land" is considered by many to be the most influential work in modern literature. First published in 1922, it captures the feelings and sentiments of modern culture after World War I. Line thirty of "The Waste Land," "I will show you fear in a handful of dust," is often viewed as a symbol of mankind's fear of death and resulting love of life. Eliot's masterpiece–with its revolutionary ideas–inspired writers of his era, and it continues to affect writers even today. In the first two lines of "The Waste Land," Eliot says, "April is the cruellest month, breeding/Lilacs out of the dead land" (l. 1–2). Eliot shows the connection between ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Not everyone appreciates life after suffering the death of someone close to him. After the death of Mary, Ade is forced to leave the mission. A few weeks later, Santigie must also return home after the death of his father, Chief Bombolai. The "Brothers Three," seemingly separated forever, are not appreciating life more than they did before. Each boy is dead to the others; none of them believe they will ever see each other again. After several months, however, the "Brothers Three" are reunited. They promise to always stay together, and each boy has an optimistic outlook on life again. Eliot's own pessimism toward life amid the destruction of World War I is evident throughout most of the poem. He uses many dark images to suggest death and brokenness, but Eliot contrasts those depictions with pictures of life and energy. In the second stanza of section one, Eliot vividly describes a desert wasteland. A few lines later in the same stanza, he depicts a young "hyacinth girl" (l. 37) and a lush garden full of flowers. These two contrasting images of life and death are mirrored in the final pages of No Past No Present No Future. Ade and Bodil move Denmark after their engagement.

The Relationship between Academic Obstacles and Facilitators University students make up a large population in most countries and may be the most important individual's part of a society; as they constitute of future professionals and degree obtainers. The life of a student is very different to other age groups and may prove to be extremely stressful and pressurised as the importance to having a profession, especially in South Africa, is heightened because of financial pressure and recessions. It has been argued and researched that the well–being of a student is important for their academic performance, therefore their health needs to be taken into context and maintained to ensure peak performance. The purpose of this essay is to assess the relationship between academic obstacles and facilitators and how they hinder or promote academic performance, as well as how it may affect the well–being of the student. When students are going through a stressful period in their studies, such as exam time or when assignments are due, they often feel exhausted and sometimes unable to manage their time properly in order to get their work done on time, or simply not being able to cope with the nature of the work. It is argued that students who are experiencing emotional exhaustion will perform poorly in their studies (Salanova, Schaufeli, Martinez & Breso, 2008). This is because students who feel exhausted will experience feelings of demotivation, irritability, detachment and cynicism towards their work. While those who have positive feelings ...

He writes, "Rhetorical situation may be defined as a complex of persons, events, objects, and relations presenting an actual or potential exigence which can be completely or partially remove if discourse, introduced into the situation, can so constrain human decision or action as to bring about the significant modification of the exigence" (6). To put it simply, a rhetorical situation is some response to a certain situation (Bitzer 3). Bitzer also explains that there are three parts to any rhetorical situation: the exigence, the audience, and the constraints. These three components exist before any discourse is created or presented (6.) On July 27th, 2016, Avalon lifeguard Emily Blake sent a message to the other members of the Avalon staff, informing them that she could not work her assigned shift due to other commitments that she needed to attend to. Following Bitzer's definition, Emily's message in response to this complication is a response to a rhetorical situation.

Because of the decisions she made regarding these two matters, Emily's response to the rhetorical situation was an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Although the intention was to develop one centralized, efficient, and high volume centre, the inattention to the 'people issues' and the cultural differences of the work units results in chaos. The recently hired laboratory manager, Claude, has implemented several stopgap measures intended to address the work load issues resulting from high turnover levels and sick leave usage.

The new system separated employees from their work group and completely disrupted the established work process. Thus, whereas the previous system felt like 'home' to employees, the new system felt like 'hell.' Compounding this problem was the wide gap in the cultures of the work units as they had been previously structured and the attempts by employees to maintain their allegiances with their 'like–minded' former coworkers, at the expense of finding an effective means of building relationships with their new coworkers. The manager, an outsider, appeared to have little appreciation of these interpersonal dynamics. Your analysis of this case study should illustrate a number of concepts. For example, you can apply Lewin's force field analysis. Identify forces which pull the laboratory back to the past and those forces which push the laboratory toward its revised structure. Also, you can use change management strategies in this case study to illustrate the mechanisms for introducing change in a well established system. Had senior management introduced the change in an incremental fashion, without any major disruptions to the existing relationships among the staff and their customers, then the restructuring may have been more ...

Smith et al.(1969) treated job satisfaction both as a general attitude and as satisfaction with five specific dimensions: pay, work, promotion, supervision, and co–workers. According to Pareek (1989), stated organizational climate is cre¬ated by the perception of organizational members about the out¬come of interactions among five components of the organization. These interaction components are Structure, System, Culture, Leader behaviour, and employees' psychological needs. Allen & Meyer, (1990) O'Reiily & Chatman, (1986) stated The Organizational commitment refers to the psychological attachment of workers to their workplaces Commitment to organizations is positively related to such desirable outcomes as job satisfaction (Bateman& Stasser, 1984; Mowday, Porter, & Steers, 1982), motivation (Mowday, Steers,& Porter,1979), and attendance (Mathieu & Zajac, 1990; Steers & Rhodes, 1978) and negatively related to such outcomes as absenteeism and turnover (Clegg, 1983; Cotton & Tuttle,1986).

Trisha Brown's movements were finding the extraordinary in everyday life. They began challenging the existing perceptions of what is considered performance. Trisha Brown's style as well as the concepts that it produced were severely influential to modern dance then, as well as now. Trisha Brown graduated from Mills College, which is in California, she then began to teach at Reed College which is in Portland, Oregon. Then in 1961 she moved to New York and in 1970 Trisha Brown began revolutionizing the dance world, specifically the modern genre. In 1968 Trisha Brown created a piece called Falling Duets. Unfortunately I was unable to find any videos of the work. However there was a description of the work on Trisha Brown's website and there were any "recreations" of her work. The piece is one big excellent example of weight sharing and it is quite the physical representation of trust between two people. The other work that I planned to study was called The Stream. Now I was also unable to find a video as this piece involved members of the public, although, I was able to find an in depth description of the piece. There was a large "U" shaped wooden structure filled with pots and pans that were full of water and the people passing were encouraged to walk through it. Some chose to walk straight through the water, others chose to avoid the water. It sounds like something that would have been amazing to watch as it took place in 1970. I studied four more works by Trisha Brown: Watermotor, I'm Going to Toss My Arms– if You Catch Them They're Yours, Set and Reset, and If You Couldn't See Me. The first of these Trisha Brown works that I studied as Watermotor. This was a very fluid, water–like piece. All of the movements fit and flowed together nothing was choppy. It almost seemed like maybe she repeated the same movements but they were just different enough that they were not exactly the same. This piece was created in 1978 which was just a few years after Trisha Brown created her piece known as The Stream. It seems to me as though Tisha Brown was very into ...

Core Values Of My Life Friedman reading lists many core values, but the ones that are most important to me and have influenced me the most include: Physical Fitness, Creativity, Enjoyment, and Family. Physical fitness means, staying in shape through physical activity and healthy nutrition. This has always been a big part of my life. In my childhood I incorporated physical activity through different activities my mother would sign me up for such as, swimming, roller staking, and dancing. As I got older my main physical activity was dance, I grew to love it and it helped me stay in shape. Along, with this though I always tried to eat a healthy diet because my family has a history of high blood pressure. Being physically fit influenced me to make healthy choices and break away from my family's history of health problems. It also, lead me to healthier eating choices now and more physical activity through other sports such as kickboxing which also builds disciple leading to a more organized lifestyle and doing better in school because of it. Furthermore, physical fitness led to creativity, which is another major influence in my life. Creativity according to Friedman is discovering, developing, or designing new ideas or things; demonstrating imagination. As I mentioned previously, physical fitness has been a big part of my life, most of all this consisted dance. My mother's love for dance was passed on to me and through this I learned creativity. I have been dancing for almost fourteen years and I have picked up many different techniques. Being a dancer involves a lot of creativity because you need to be able to learn new styles and create your own dances using these styles. My creativity in dance followed through to the classrooms I've sat in. It has allowed me to think outside of the box and get creative with class projects and with work. Often times my friends come to me when they want new idea's or a different view on projects they are working on and it feels great that I am able to help them.

In his opening speech for the New Republic gallery show he expressed that things such as his work was evolved around the working of chance . In his case, he manipulates the chance of the representation of the black demographic in traditional work. Modifying the figurative works to create the chance for relating a body that is familiar. I see contemporary painter, Kehinde Wiley as a comparable to my work in regards to the topic as well as the manipulation of the human figure. The admirable features I see in Kehinde Wiley's work in addition to these is the fantasy elements that are incorporated. These features are best exhibited in his piece, "Bound". The work is a bronze sculpture that stands approximately four feet tall and two–and half feet wide. The composition is inviting as it includes busts of three identical women that have African descent features that are placed on a rounded triangle base. The expressions on all of the faces are of a staring and wondering nature that have a nature of regality as their faces are turned to the right at an approximate forty five degree angle as their all have their back facing each other to form a guard of the leaves the a laid on their base. The bodies are cut organically as it rounds off from shoulder to shoulder, just enough to form the upper torso to see the corset like dress that encompass the figure. Expanding ...

A particular stressful situation that occurred within the last year was my unrealistic goal to become Personal Trainer certified through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) in three–months (over the summer). What made this goal difficult was the fact that it took me a long time each day to finally sit down before my book to study, there were days I had to take care of my grandma in place of her other caregiver, spending too much time at the gym, wasting time on the computer, wasting time on my phone and on social media, and consecutive days where I pushed studying off. All of these points really made focusing on studying hard. Each day my intentions were to get to work and work hard, but just the thought of being in the action of studying repelled me from sitting down and doing so. In all honesty, some days were easier than others, but the majority weren't as so. To add to all of this, I had the pressure of the promise I'd made to so many people of being certified before starting this last semester of college. Given this goal I had for myself, and knowing that getting focused on the work each day wouldn't be easy, I had a select few hold me accountable for getting my studying done.

The unofficial secret to longevity and talent retention is happiness and workplace satisfaction. There are many ways for organizational leaders to promote happy, healthy working environments; the trick is finding the right combination that works for their particular group of workers and their particular work environment. Different methods work for different industries and people so it is a matter of trial and error to find the right fit. There are employment laws in place to ensure fair work practices occur however, employers should go the extra mile to take care of those who make their business succeed. According to the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland (2009), "responsibility rests with each employer to provide and promote a good and harmonious working environment" (p. 3). Making sure workers are happy can only have positive effects for the company but it is a multistep process that requires commitment from ever manager involved. Coming up with ways to increase worker satisfaction is only part of the work; implementing these policies and making it come to life is the challenge and the greatest responsibility. For example, employers creating a diverse environment can lessen feelings of discrimination. Any opportunity to represent the workers' best interest will always win their ...

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. Without respect in their society, a balance of fear and friendliness, nobody follows the rules and commands given, and almost none of the boys remain loyal followers to ...

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 Jack because he ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 123. 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 United States Army. All ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 127. 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 spent more than a week on the quantitative analysis section of the FDR, but I ended up having to redo large portions of it anyway (logbook 3/23), which ...

In support of this diagnosis she referred to the worker's presentation and complaints of trouble sleeping and stress at work that she considered an aggravating factor. Dr Roesler stated that while the symptoms were consistent with the original injury, the pain and disability associated with the back strain was disproportionate. She noted being concerned by 'influential' relatives at the consultations, and that limited English renders a conversation more difficult.

  • 135. 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 ...

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 ...

There are slackers who manage to slap their name on projects without actually lifting a finger, chatterboxes who slow down productivity because they'd rather spill the latest gossip and, of course, misanthropes who assist with minimum efforts. I, however, have always been the heart and soul of group projects. For me, mapping out a plan while the assignment is still being described has become second nature. I schedule meetings, take notes, finalize drafts, encourage my teammates and by the end of the deadline, I usually find myself involved in every aspect of the project. I have managed all of my group projects because I am organized, detailed and assertive. Some might say I am a perfectionist, other's might describe me with cruder words, but I consider myself a great M.F.A. candidate for the University of California Los Angeles' Producers Program.

  • 151. The Influential works of Andre Antoine The dramatic arts, that originated from the Greeks, has changed drastically into the theatre that is known today. Many people contributed to this metamorphosis and aided in bringing the technical, emotional, and physical art form to life. Theatre should depict a real part of life for the audience. This is the goal that Andre Antoine had set for himself. His view on a realistic theatre brought modern naturalism to life and continues to be seen in the work of modern day directors. Antoine was alive from 1858 to 1943 in France. France was drawn to street performers and plays with a moral lesson and political context. The plays of the time would deliver a message to the audience, but the actors would never move around or show any real emotion. This however also went in the other direction and displayed productions of melodrama. Antoine was all about getting a story across even if it was political, but seeing actors stand stiff and deliver lines or overact was something he thought was unprofessional. Antoine firmly believed in making theatre as realistic as possible in every way. Antoine knew that he needed to bring his ideas to life and to the stage. He tried to get the director of a previous theatre group he had worked for at the time, to direct a novel by Emile Zola, but he was repeatedly turned away. This only fueled him into going further with his ideas. As a result, in 1887 he founded Theatre–Libre. His theatre was a showcase for naturalistic playwrights such as: ...

She attended Syracuse University in 1964 where her interests in graphic design, poetry, and writing developed.

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... 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 René 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 ...
