...For the most part communication with others has been overall easy and annoyance free. There are however some instances where I am annoyed by other peoples communication quirks. I do have my own challenges with communication. My biggest annoyance with others communication and my own is not being able to put what we mean exactly into words. Talking seems to come easy but when it comes to putting my exact thoughts into words this is when I have the most difficulty. I don’t know whether or not if I’m afraid I’m going to say the wrong thing or if I don’t say what I actually mean. I can usually get away with plainly saying what I mean but I find it extremely hard when im trying to explain it to other people. I’ve also have a serious problem with speaking in front of people especially people I don’t really know. However I find it very easy to communicate with friends. I don’t understand as to why I find it easier, I guess it’s because I’m afraid of being judged by people I don’t know. This has always been my biggest challenge with communication. I also find myself giving one word answers very often. My reasoning for giving one word answers goes back to my inability to put my thoughts into complete sentences. If I can’t put it into a full and comprehensible statement Ill usually use a few words as a response. But my biggest annoyance is with people that aren’t good at joke or storytelling. I understand that it takes skill to do this but if you stop at every other word to remember the...

Most people would like to own the success of Baidu to the initiator, Robin Li. Before Robin Li founded Baidu, he was just a network engineer, but now, he has already become an excellent leader. As a leader, Robin has many good qualities. He is knowlegable, cautious, patient, full of passion and keeping appropriate development speed of Baidu. There is nearly no rapid change or ups and downs in the development of Baidu. The development is stable and sustained. What gives others biggest impression in Robin Li's leadership is his gentleman-style leardership.In ancient China, " gentleman " is used to discribe somebody's moral perspective. The "gentleman-style leadership " refered here means that the Robin Li's leadership is base on the fact that human's nature is good, and he is trying to develop the company and create value for society consciously and actively in a gentleman's demeanor, which makes the atmosphere in Baidu free, harmonious and actively.

...Carla Jensen CWV November 13, 2011 Todd Forrest My Very Own Worldview The three components that make up my worldview are God, Knowledge, and Ultimate Reality, because they shape shaped my thoughts, experiences, education, and life decisions. Therefore, my belief in God has shaped my entire life through my thoughts, experiences, and life decisions. My Thoughts: My thoughts have always included God, for as long as I can remember. I can remember feeling the presence of God around me as a very, very small child, and He has always been there to support me with His love and guidance. I don’t think of myself as a religious person, but as a person who would like to live my life the way God wants us to. I have always been a “Pollyanna” type, because I always believed that there is good in everyone and everything. It is really not practical to believe that people will always think and behave the same as me, which is why I have spent many years learning about others – how they think, what they do, and why they do it- as a way to better understand the human race. I have learned that many self proclaimed Christians can be the most evil of people, because going to church and reading the bible does not make a person act like Jesus Christ. People should not have to act “as if”, but just be like Him. I am old enough to have seen some pretty hypocritical folks in my lifetime that would chastise others for not going to church...

...Textual Sublimations: Textual precultural theory in the works of Fellini Thomas Dietrich Department of Politics, University of Michigan 1. Expressions of genre If one examines the neodialectic paradigm of reality, one is faced with a choice: either accept textual precultural theory or conclude that the collective is capable of truth. Thus, an abundance of deconstructions concerning not materialism, but postmaterialism may be found. The subject is contextualised into a textual capitalism that includes sexuality as a reality. Therefore, the characteristic theme of the works of Fellini is the dialectic, and eventually the meaninglessness, of predialectic class. The subject is interpolated into a constructivist discourse that includes art as a whole. In a sense, Derrida uses the term ‘rationalism’ to denote the bridge between narrativity and society. Bataille suggests the use of neotextual rationalism to deconstruct sexist perceptions of class. 2. Rationalism and the material paradigm of discourse “Consciousness is intrinsically responsible for hierarchy,” says Derrida. It could be said that the primary theme of Prinn’s[1] analysis of the patriarchial paradigm of narrative is the role of the writer as artist. If textual precultural theory holds, we have to choose between rationalism and Lacanist obscurity. But the subject is contextualised into a textual precultural theory that includes reality as a reality. Rationalism implies that consensus is created by the collective...

...Absolute Truth can be defined as "the real state of facts and reality”, an accepted statement or proposition. Some suggest that there is no true reality, only perceptions and opinions, while others argue that there must be some absolute basis. With this being said, we can say that there are two diametrically-opposed beliefs related to absolute truth: There are no absolutes that define reality. Everything is relative, and thus there is no actual reality. There is ultimately no authority for deciding if an action is positive or negative; right or wrong. There are absolutes that define what is real and what is not. Thus, actions can be deemed right or wrong based upon how they measure up against these absolute standards. I’m a firm catholic believer and the catholic perspective on absolute truth should be determined by the one who is the ultimate authority, or maker, of all things. So for any of those who believe in God the absolute truth is derived from properly understanding who God is and what His "will" is for His creation. Propositions, in logic, are statements that can be labeled as either true or false. All of the examples you just heard and saw are complete statements that you can say are either true or false. Propositions are the objects of attitudes and the primary carriers of truth and falsity. This stipulation rules out certain candidates for propositions, including thoughts which are not sharable, and concrete events or facts, which cannot be false. Reference:...

...MEMORANDUM FROM: X SUBJ: “Nucor in 2013” Case Analysis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The success of Nucor results in correct strategy that managers selected. Nucor Corporation is the largest steel manufacturer in the United States. The steel industry is a fragmented industry. There are many marginal competitors existing in the steel industry. Competitions are high. Nucor is in mature stage of the business life cycle. In this stage, Nucor needs to gain more market share. I strongly recommend Nucor develop product diversity, and spread great company culture to earn sustainable profit growth. ANALYSIS The steel industry in U.S. is not a great industry to begin business for a company due to the economic environment. A bunch of steel companies are facing bankruptcy. However, Nucor breaks the barrier and has strong development in this environment. Industry Analysis. The U.S. steel industry is facing recovery from global recession period, and is in the worst economic period dating back to early 1980s. Also, a number of steel companies have faced bankruptcy, reorganization, or no longer operating. Moreover, because of overcapacity, the steel industry has become a burden that U.S. is willing to get rid of. That is to say, trying to break the siege of the status quo in the steel industry is a challenge to Nucor. Porter’s Five Forces Model. Porter’s five forces model can help identify the current state of Nucor in the steel industry. First of all, new entry to this industry...

B) rank order- variables that are individual observations that can be put into order from smallest to largest, even though the exact values are unknown. An example of this would be shirts, small, medium and large shirts. C) Nominal- variables which are also called categorical variables. They classify observations into a small number of categories. Examples are 1) "types of property" can include houses, condos, Co-ops, or bungalows. Another example 2) Gender or race D) Ratio Scale- is measured data with a zero point and provides information relative to an absolute zero. An example of this is a person's weight. The scale starts at 0 and when you step on it, the amount goes up starting from 0 to the amount of weight on it. (It has to start at 0). E) Continuous- variables that are numeric and can be any number (positive or negative). Examples of a continuous variable can be red blood cells, body temperature, or any other continuous readings such as body weight.

...Relatively Perfect Some individuals can identify musical notes without the aid of a give tone. They are not limited to pitch-naming, the can also perform several musical skills, such as identifying a song’s key signature, labeling all tones of a given chord, mentally notating a piece and recognizing the pitches of everyday sounds like a dog’s bark of a phone’s ring. This ability can be achieved through practice. It is said that ear-trained people cringe when they hear specific songs san out-of-tune. Although they are known to be sensitive around sounds, their hearing is no different from an “average” person’s. This musical ability is known as “perfect pitch”. The ear can be very sensitive to music since music is composed of different pitches. Pitch perception is the way a person “observes” music. There are two different pitch perceptions. Relative pitch perception, or often shorten to “relative pitch”, is basically defined as the hearing ability to identify pitches with the aid of a given pitch; it is also the ear’s ability to recognize the range between two notes which is called the interval. On the other hand, perfect pitch perception—or perfect pitch—does not need help from a reference note. A person who has perfect pitch and relative pitch could have been training through the years. Or he is born with perfect pitch and only attained relative pitch through practice. He could also be a conservatory student who mastered the art of pitch perception because of the...

...Critically assess the virtues and shortcomings of Britain’s ‘un-codified’ Constitution Britain are one of the few countries in the world that still posses and un-codified constitution, other states that posses un-codified constitutions are New Zealand and Israel. A constitution is a set of rules which guidelines what the people of the nation and the government have the rights to do, these rules or guidelines are normally printed in one sovereign place. An un-codified constitution differs from this as is not one sovereign book or piece of writing that outlines the rules of the state. This short answer will assess the strengths and weakness of Britain having an un-codified constitution. The first strength to consider is the fact that our un-codified constitution is more flexible then a codified constitution. Many nations find it difficult to pass legislation because the constitution holds the government accountable and protects the individuals. Example of this could be after terrorist attacks Britain was able to quickly pass legislation detaining terror suspects for longer period of time, where as other nations constitutions protected the individuals liberties and prevented their governments from detaining suspects for long periods of time. From the first argument we can see that flexibility is a strength of an un-codified constitution, however it can also be a weakness. Without the codified constitution there is no checks on the government other then the opposition, a...
