...1301/8:35 class In the essay, Peace Begins with One Person, Ivory Harlow writes about her encounter with a customer while waitressing at a country diner. Ivory noticed the struggle of a lady who was obviously hungry. After serving the lady free pancakes, she was asked to barrow a couple of dollars to cover a bus ride with the promise of returning the money soon. Not expecting a return, Ivory hands the lady two dollars because she believes in kindness. The struggling lady returned three weeks later with news of her new job and living place. She returned Ivory’s two dollars along with a meal covered on her check. Stunned to see the lady now on her feet, she feels a sense of accomplishment. Not only did she do a good deed for a random person, but she also started a continuous act of kindness. Some so little, such as a free stack of pancakes, can go a long way. It’s the simple things in life that make the biggest impact. Cause and Effect Ivory takes a fresh pot of coffee to back of the diner. Ivory sees the tired lady who asks the price of only one breakfast taco. Because the lady is obviously struggling Ivory offers free pancakes. Because the lady asked for 2 dollars with the promise of returning them Ivory gives the lady a couple dollars. Because Ivory gave the struggling lady two dollars The lady kept her promise and returned the money along with a meal in return. Because Ivory’s kindness came back around in her favor she believes random acts of kindness take care of everyone...

...simply on sleep. After one day without sleep the person would experience extreme fatigue, poor coordination, and low focus. If the person were to continue dedicating all 24hrs of themselves to helping the sick by day 2 the fatigue will have worsened, focus will be almost nonexistent and they would begin to experience hot and cold flashes. If for some reason the person were to carry on to just 3 days, the fatigue would be replaced by a nervous, almost manic energy and they themselves would almost certainly become sick. From this small example we can see how it is completely illogical for anyone to act this way because in their attempt to take care of the sick they have become sick themselves making the problem worse for everyone involved because now not only is there one less caregiver there is one more person in need of care. The same is true in the world as a whole, In Elie Wiesels essay “The Perils of Indifference” he makes the argument that indifference is not a virtue and to have it is one of the worst things a person can have. While I would agree with Wiesel that indifference to the problems of the world, I would also argue that he calls a lack of direct action indifference, which I strongly disagree with. The oxford dictionary defines indifference as “Lack of interest, concern, or sympathy” (oxford dictionary). He says “ I don't understand. Why the indifference, on the highest level, to the suffering of the victims?” (Wiesel 421),. Anyone with indifference will almost never...

...2/21/2015 2/21/2015 James Turner Philosophy-1101 James Turner Philosophy-1101 Philosophy of Life And Other Essays By. B.J. Gupta Philosophy of Life And Other Essays By. B.J. Gupta B.J. Gupta gets right to the point in his book “Philosophy of life”. He does not use outlandish sentences and problematical paragraphs to explain what he is saying. The book starts out by his explanations of philosophy, and Gupta gives two examples of what philosophy meant in the past and what it means nowadays. Back when philosophy was developed a philosopher had been considered a thinker, and it did not matter on what subject. Nowadays, a philosopher is a thinker of non-materialistic subjects like knowledge. Those subjects like science, history, and economics have their own sets of thinkers labelled scientist, historian, economist etc. Gupta is saying that philosophy used to touch on many subjects, and even though these other subjects are not called philosophy, philosophy is in their DNA and always will be. (Gupta, p. 1) Then Gupta gives an example of “Philosophy of Life” he got of the internet, which is “Any philosophical view or vision of the nature or purpose of life or of the way that life should be lived”. (Random House, Inc., 2015) He does not give his own definition on the subject, but he does go on explaining that everyone has his or her own outlook on the philosophy of life, you do not have to be a philosopher to have an opinion on the matter. Some outlooks...

...violated. In other words nonhumans were not distinguished from other inanimate objects and as such had no legal or moral obligations (Nikki, 2012). There are those acts that from the surface appeared as obligation towards other animals, for instance an obligation not to injure a donkey or horse that belonged to the neighbor, in actual sense we owed the obligation not to the animal but to our neighbors. Issues of moral became a concern only to the limited scope when humans who were cruel or known to subject the nonhumans to suffering were generally thought to be capable of maltreating humans. Just like the above, the obligation related to the animal in question was actually owed to the other human beings. Nonhumans were viewed as having little moral significance. This essay will focus on Jane Goodall assertion that ‘Who are we to say that the suffering of human being is more terrible than the suffering of nonhuman being, or that it matters more’? (1990). Some scholars believe that human being suffer more as compared to the nonhuman beings and they deem the latter as things and equals them to machines. On the other hand, some scholars such as Goodall argue that humans are not unique from other nonhuman being and thus the same compassion and consideration shown to human being should also be shown to animals. This essay will focus not both sides of the argument in order to get a clear understanding of how nonhumans being are perceived....

...educational practice,” (Henderson, 2004). This high praise begs the question: why is The Lorax so successful at reaching out to the child reader? This essay will indentify the use of certain literary characteristics that Seuss incorporated in The Lorax, which stemmed from successful environmental children’s literature from the late seventeenth century to the twentieth century. It will establish the success of each work due to the theme or agenda it had that reflected the social and environmental issues of its time, and will then establish to what extent Seuss’s The Lorax stands as a strong example for ecocritics and educators alike, of an environmental children’s story and its impact on the child reader. To further understand the position of this paper, it is important to identify the nature of ecocentricism and the development of the interdisciplinary field. Ecocentricism is an ethical practice that “decenters humanity’s importance in nonhuman nature and nature writing and instead explores the complex interrelationships between the human and the nonhuman,” (Buell, 2011). The practice, in the last twenty years, has become a field of inquiry in response to “growing academic concern about the response of literature and literary theory to the global crisis of environmental degradation,” (Sigler, 1994). Using an ecocentric lens, this essay explores the characteristics and social and environmental agendas that children’s literature has had from the early eighteenth century, to the nineteenth...

...Bullying November 17, 2017 DACC What is bullying? Before getting into the various definitions that describe different types of bullies, it is essential to understand the basic definition of what is bullying. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, bullying is defined as “to treat abusively” or “to affect by means of force or coercion.” When you look deeper into the meaning of bullying, you will see that these definitions shine through in the meaning of all these types, giving them a common thread that ties them together. In no sense of the word is bullying ever an appropriate behavior, whether among children or adults. There are still people who think that bullies only hurt others physically, this is not true. As a matter of fact there are several types of bullying that i will be discussing with you shortly. The most common type of bullying is physical bullying. Physical bullying can be anything from hitting, pushing, kicking, spitting, and even stealing. Most of this type of bullying occurs in and around schools.

Archetypal lovers Romeo and Juliet portrayed by Frank Dicksee Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment.[1] Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection —"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".[2] Love may describe actions towards others or oneself based on compassion or affection.[3] In English, love refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure ("I loved that meal") to interpersonal attraction ("I love my partner"). "Love" may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros, to the emotional closeness of familial love, to the platonic love that defines friendship,[4] or to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love[5], or to a concept of love that encompasses all of those feelings. This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.[6] Love may be understood as part of the survival instinct, a function to keep human beings together against menaces and...

...03/01/2014 Introduction Managers are charged with many significant responsibilities. In order to be successful, they must attract, hire, develop, motivate, and retain a high performing team of talented individuals. Employment of an effective, yet ethical, performance management process is critical to the long-term success of any organization. Indeed, it is perhaps the most vital function of thriving business leaders. Furthermore, the ability of a manager to develop and retain his/her talent is a direct reflection of his/her leadership skills. This paper will discuss the appraisal process utilized by the world's largest home-improvement retailer, The Home Depot concluding with recommendations for improvement. Commencing in 2004, the organization adopted a forced ranking performance appraisal system. Careful evaluation of this assessment process suggests that the compulsory classification of an arbitrary number of employees has resulted in several unintended consequences while raising ethical concerns. The following topics relative to the utilization of a forced distribution system have been evaluated. The proposed benefits of forced distribution. The impact of forced ranking on employees and managers. The results of a forced ranking model on employee retention. Application of ethical theory to the forced ranking model. SWOT Analysis. Conclusion. This review of the forced ranking methodology will assess the moral and ethical implications of the model. Additionally...

...Gulliver’s Travels Jonathan Swift I/ Introduction A. Writer: Jonathan Swift Jonathan Swift is the greatest satirist in the history of English literature. He was the contemporary of Steele, Addison, Defoe and other English enlightens of the early period; however he stood apart from them. The greatest satirist in the history of English of the bourgeois life came to the negation of the bourgeois society. Swift's art had a great effect on the further development of English and European literature. The main features of his artistic method, such as hyperbole, grotesque, generalization, irony, were widely used by the English novelist, the dramatists, by the French writers, by the Russian writers and others.

In 1692, Swift took his Master of Arts Degree at Oxford University.

We reach out to and build relationships with members of the bench and the bar to help expand employment opportunities for our students. We reach out to and build relationships with members of the University community to ensure cooperation and access to resources. We reach out to and build relationships with our students. This essay is about reaching out to and building relationships with our most important communities: those who work within the law school. In these difficult economic times, most law schools face the challenge of doing more with less. Budgets have been reduced, staffing levels have fallen, and there are limits on how much we want to raise tuition in light of the economic conditions our students face. To do well in this environment and to provide the most effective legal education and student services we can, we must make identifying and fostering the “people potential” of our institutions a high priority. This essay is about treating people the way you would want to be treated and setting a tone of professionalism and mutual respect. Although most of the discussion deals with professional and hourly staff relations, many of the principles also apply to relations with faculty and students. Some of these ideas may seem simple, but our fast-paced work environments and complex schedules make it very easy to overlook them. I...
