...about her life's work. Harriet Tubman: She was part of the UGRR as a conductor, and she led the slaves to the north. She was also a spy for the union, a nurse, a disabled caretaker, and more. Harriet Tubman's greatest achievement was being a conductor on the UGRR. She saved many slaves from slavery. She took a 600+-mile journey there and back, the risk involved. She has done this many times, which is why this is her greatest achievement. First of all, I believe the UGRR was Harriet Tubman's greatest achievement because she saved many slaves from slavery, which was a horrible thing. To be a slave...

...Lionel Messi’s Place in History Lionel Messi is the greatest soccer player in the history of the sport. Soccer is considered the greatest sport in the world and is adored by people all over the world. It is also played by hundreds and millions of people.

...Hannah Pope Ragusky Honors ELA 5 March 2024. Dedicated, brave, bold. These were words to describe Harriet Tubman. Tubman was neglected as a child and would say she grew up like a neglected weed.

This effect caused change in the world. Because of the risks she took, the people she saved and time spent, the Underground Railroad is Harriet Tubman's greatest achievement. Harriet Tubman went...

For the most part we we’re working under the supervision of different managers of the bookstore sometimes 1 or 2 of them in a day so we had to make sure that we made as little mistakes as possible. Organizational Culture Inventory The culture of the organization/unit is Constructive; this culture consists of four organizational culture styles which are Achievement, Self-actualizing, Humanistic-encouraging, and Affiliative. The constructive norms are cultural styles that promote satisfaction behaviors. The organizations primary style is Self-actualizing which has the greatest extension on the circumplex, the secondary style is Oppositional which has the second greatest extension on the circumplex, and the weakest style of the organization/unit is dependent. The meaning of these results show to me that although my organization is big on self development, taking on interesting activities, and gaining enjoyment from their work, task accomplishment, and individual growth, that as an organization because we are so critical we often oppose the ideas of others and because of that it makes it hard for people to try and impress us....

...XXXX Case Analysis 1- Apple Computer NETW-583 7/12/15 Apple’s greatest achievement could be defined not as its comeback from the precipice of bankruptcy but as the indelible mark it has left on the technological landscape and online business. Design is high on this list of legacy achievements. Apple products share a minimalist architecture that is unique, user friendly and instantly recognizable. Due to the degree of this branding by design, Apple has even taken Samsung to court over what they deemed to be infringement over the look and feel of their iPhone (Robertson, 2015). Apple has also influence how users interface technology by with touch sensitive surfaces. With the arrival of the first iPhone, a new standard of tapping and moving a fingertip along a screen to select menus, scroll through documents, or magnifying viewing space was introduced (Tynan, 2015). Apple rolled out a continuous stream of stream of products that created entire new IT categories of product lines with the iPhone, iPod, iPad, and are now continuing to incorporate their products into everyday accessories such as watches to further imbed themselves into the daily lives of the masses. Apple has also altered music by changing the way that it is bought and sold through the creation of iTunes. Hollywood was the next stop as Apple brought movies and TV shows to all manner of handheld devices and helped to assist with legitimizing streaming services (Tynan, 2015).

...Who Is the Greatest Basketball Player Of All Time? Michael Jordan vs. Lebron James; Air Jordan vs. King James; The Chosen One vs. His Airness. Who is the greatest basketball player of all time? Both are huge figures in not only within the game of basketball, but in the entire world of sports. Jordan has always been coveted as the best basketball player but the comparisons between him and James have escalated in recent years due to James’ dominance in all facets of the game, his first NBA championship title, and his three MVPs in his first 9 years in the NBA. However, I believe that Michael Jordan beats out LeBron James for the title of greatest basketball player of all-time because of his complete dominance of the game, and six NBA Championships. Dominance of the Game Michael Jordan’s dominated the game of basketball with his outstanding jump shot, great handles, hard work mentality, and his will to win. He dominated in every aspect of the game. He could shoot from anywhere on the court, his pull up jump shot was impossible to stop when he was rhythm. An example of this would be where in one game he scored an eye-popping 69 points with a field goal percentage of 62.2%. He handled the ball like a true point guard, dishing out assists whenever the opportunity arose. His 5.3 assists are an example of his excellent handles and ability to get the ball to his teammates. Jordan was one of the most exciting players to watch,...

...The Mayan civilization were one of the most important Meso american cultures. They were a innovative civilization that controlled most of the land that stretched from southern Mexico to northern Central American. The Mayan civilization started in 250 A.D and disappeared during the 1500's most likely because of Spanish invasion. “Mayan civilization not only dominated the region in pre-Colombian times, but also it has captivated world attention more than a thousand years after it has collapsed (Foster)". According to Foster, the Mayan civilization has made a lasting impression on the world. Their lingering effect on the world is due to the fact the Mayans made many achievements in the areas of architecture, trade, religion, math, and astronomy. The Mayans were skilled in the field of architecture.Their architecture would include awe-inspiring observatories, palaces, ball courts, and stelaes which were intricate and detailed statues dedicated to a specific god. Mayan pyramids were based on Mesoamerican design and similar in style to the ziggurats of the ancient Mesopotamians and pyramids of the Inca. All three buildings would have a long staircase, leading up to a temple dedicated to a certain god. Although the Mayans focused on man made features for their architecture, they would also integrate natural resources. ”Mayan architecture tends to integrate a great degree of natural features...depending upon the location and availability of natural resources such as fresh-water wells...

The argument for who truly clenches the crown of being named the GOAT, or greatest of all time, is surely not one to be taken lightly by any means whatsoever. After all, this is the title any quarterback in history has ever labored their entire life for just the chance to claim. While Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Joe Montana are all pretty high on the totem pole, a totem pole that stands colossal and robust, only one Quarterback can truly be named the GOAT. The only Quarterback who truly possesses the firepower to claim this title is none other than the most prominent; Tom Brady. Now for one to sit upon such...
