...Career Path Denzel White BCOM/275 April 12, 2015 Dr. George R. Monk Career Path The University of Phoenix provide for their students a wide range of tools and different assets to help their students have a great opportunity to be highly successful. These tools help the students prepare themselves for the future and for the workforce adventure. One of the tools recommended by the school that it provides is the career interests profiler. The Career Interest Profiler gives students the opportunity to set goals to achieve their desired occupation. The results that I received from completing the Career Interest Profiler were very surprising indeed because upon me entering school I was undecided with what I wanted to do. In my case I didn’t really know what jobs were out there that were available to me in the job field that I’m pursuing. I was really happy with the results and it gave me motivation to give my all while in school. There were three job occupations that interested me the most relating to my field of interest. The first occupation that interested me was the Business Analyst Manager. I was able to search the job sites that were available to me pertaining to this occupation. With the Career Interests Profiler, it enabled me to see the job salaries, qualifications, and the high demand interest in this occupation. I found out things I didn’t know before and now I know what I need to do to prepare myself for this occupation. Out of my top three job...

...“prospectus” that a committee approves before the “proposal” to start research is approved. After the prospectus is approved, some of the review of literature may be moved into Chapter 2, which then becomes part of the proposal to do research. Chapter 1 is the engine that drives the rest of the document, and it must be a complete empirical argument as is found in courts of law. It should be filled with proofs throughout. It is not a creative writing project in a creative writing class; hence, once a word or phrase is established in Chapter 1, use the same word or phrase throughout the dissertation. The content is normally stylized into five chapters, repetitive in some sections from dissertation to dissertation. A lengthy dissertation may have more than five chapters, but regardless, most universities limit the total number of pages to 350 due to microfilming and binding considerations in libraries in those institutions requiring hard copies. Use plenty of transitional words and sentences from one section to another, as well as subheadings, which allow the reader to follow the writer’s train of thought. Following is an outline of the content of the empirical argument of Chapter 1. Universities often arrange the content in a different order, but the subject matter is the same in all dissertations because it is an empirical “opening statement” as might be found in a court of law. (Note that a dissertation could also be five pages of text and 50 pages of pictures of dragonfly...

...Figurative Language versus Literal Language Figurative Language versus Literal Language Figurative language, which is also referred to as a “figure of speech”, is language that utilizes a description to provide an expression of a person’s emotion. Figurative language contains words that are descriptive whereas literal words are expressed so that someone ones exactly what is meant. Below I will describe a few figurative words followed by an example. Idiom An idiom is a word or phrase that is not taken literally, like “bought the farm” has nothing to do with purchasing real estate, but refers to dying (examples.yourdictionary.com). Another example would be “high as a kite” which would mean you are drunk or on drugs. Someone who isn’t familiar with this phrase could interpret it to mean someone or something is up in the air. Analogy Analogy is defined as either a metaphor (different) or a simile (same). It’s the similarity or comparability of two things. An example of an analogy is “She is as quiet as a church mouse” the reference to the mouse being unheard is the similarity to her being quite. Metaphor Metaphors are an analogy where two unlike things are compared but have something in common. It sounds like you are stating a fact, but you have to think about it for it to make sense. An example of a metaphor would be you are the wind beneath my wings” you are not saying that a person can actually be wind. Instead, you are referring to the support you get from that...

...An important person in your life Everybody has an important person in their life who can motivate, share moment and be there for them when they needed. I think the most important person in the life of everyone is the member of his family.The simple word “family” can conjure up many meanings, images and emotions. They could be warm and pleasant, at the same time they can be sad and dismal. But for most, the word “family” is one of the greatest words in the world, it brings a lot of unforgettable and joyful memories about their childhood and past, enormous number of happy and funny moments, and of course it brings the picture of your family members, whom you truly love, who really mean a lot for you and who are the most influential and important people in your life. Your family members simply cared about you when you were sick even if it meant staying up all the night just to make sure your fever stayed down. There were also times when they let you make your own choices and allowed you to suffer the consequences it brings if you made a bad decision. Sometimes they pushed you in certain directions and had high expectations for you. Your family is not only people that you biologically related to and those who will love you unconditionally, but they are your first friends, whom you can trust and always count on when you need them. Family members have the biggest influence on you, through their love, discipline, encouragement and living. One of the important persons in the life...

...CHAPTER 1 HISTORY OF LANGUAGE Language is a set of symbols of communication and the elements used to manipulate them. It is one of the most important innovations of men. Language can be used in different ways for different purposes. But mostly, its primary use is for communication. Language was considered to have a “life cycle” and to develop according to evolutionary laws. In addition, it was believed that language, like the human animal, has a “genealogical tree” –that is, that each language can be traced back to a common ancestor.” Ethnologue organization, the most extensive catalog of the world’s languages, presented a detailed classified list which currently includes 6,809 distinct languages. Although there are many languages, these are not uniformly distributed around the world. Some places are more diverse in terms of distribution of languages. According to Stephen Anderson (YEAR) of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), out of Ethnologue’s 6,809, for instance, only 230 are spoken in Europe, while 2,197 are spoken in Asia. Among these 2,197 languages in Asia, 171 are spoken in the Philippines. Associated with language are the different systems of writing in the past. Hieroglyphics and cuneiform are some of them. But here in our country, alibata is the primitive form of writing. It is also known as baybayin which literally means “to spell.” It is used even before the Spaniards conquered our country. There are many languages which influenced our official...

...AUTHOR: _John Muir____ [pic] 1. Most important paragraph (PAGE & KEY WORDS OR DIRECT QUOTES W/CITATION REQUIRED) and why? I believe the most important paragraph is on page 56, “the whole landscape showed design, like man’s noblest sculptures” (Muir 56) shows how the land was so perfect and detailed as how a sculpture is but was created by mother nature hands instead of another man’s work. 2. Most important sentence (CORRECT MLA CITATION REQUIRED) and why? I believe the most important sentence is, “beauty beyond thought everywhere, beneath, above, made and being made forever” (Muir 56). This quote shows how the beauty of the landscape has been created and still continues to grow in an endless beauty. This paragraph is an important sentence that show how important the landscape was to John Muir and how others would see the land if they were standing where John Muir was in the moment. 3. Most important word (CORRECT MLA CITATION REQUIRED) and why? The word that I think was most important is “divine” (Muir 59), because it is a word pertaining to god or devoted to God. This word is used many times and to say something is pertaining to God means it has great value and is very important along with very special. 4. What surprised you the most? What surprised me the most is how John Muir creates visions to my eyes with his choice of sentences and words. 5. What makes the character(s) believable (dress, accent, actions, etc...
