...Bisexuals and Transgendered individuals (GLBT), historically has been that of derision and malice, viewing those individuals of this community as an abomination against all morals and ethics, usually using religious scriptures to back up these claims. Within the last couple decades, headway has been made to provide these two minority groups equal rights as established by Federal and State laws, but let us look at the history of these movements within the United States. The traditional role of women, as maintained by archaic and patriarchal views is that of a housewife. Her duty is to be subordinate to her husband in all things, providing him with offspring, raising them, and generally be a homemaker, supporting him emotionally, but making no decisions without his say so. If she were blessed enough to have a husband who respected her, she might be able to find a part-time job outside of the home, in order to supplement his paycheck. Most employment opportunities, until recently was that of a supporting role, such as a seamstress, schoolhouse teacher, or during World War II as a riveter. Within the first hundred years of the United States as a nation in its own right, women were not allowed to vote. The first State to grant women the ability to vote was Colorado in 1893 (Imbornoni, 2007, p. 2). Eventually, women had...

...success of the business strategy. AMP Incorporated was used as the basis for this case study. AMP Incorporated is a global company that specializes in electronic and electrical connectors. The company, which was started in 1941, quickly grew into the world’s largest manufacturer of connector and interconnection devices. But in 1998, the company’s stock fell, resulting in a hostile takeover bid by Allied Signal and the eventual purchase of the company by Tyco International. History of AMP Founder of AMP Born in Lincoln, Kansas in 1900, Uncas Aeneus Whitaker grew up in a tiny southwestern town in Missouri. He was named after the hero of James Fenimore Cooper’s classic tale, The Last of the Mohicans. In the fall of 1941, Whitaker would start his quest to live the legacy of a hero by taking over a small firm called Industrial Manufacturers in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Industrial Manufacturers was a producer of solderless electrical terminations for the aircraft and shipbuilding industry. Prior to World War II, terminations of electrical conductors were accomplished by twisting wires together by soldering, brazing, or wrapping them around screws. U. A. Whitaker, an electrical engineer by trade, developed a system to crimp a terminal or connector on the wire with a precision tool that looked like a pair of pliers. The system was so successful because it eliminated the need for skilled soldering operators by incorporating the skill into the hand...

...Major: Environmental Engineering We humans have a long history of polluting our air, water, and soil. This contamination not only hurts nature, but is dangerous to people. Luckily, environmental engineers are on the job. They use math and science to clean up the messes we've made and prevent new ones from happening. For example, they might figure out how to clean up toxic material that has seeped into the ground at an old gas station or design an effective way to treat wastewater. If you choose this major, you’ll study a wide range of subjects. Besides learning the basics of engineering, you’ll also take courses in the life and social sciences so you can understand environmental problems in all their complexity. Students in environmental engineering learn to design, develop, and evaluate structures, equipment, and systems that protect the environment from the effects of human activity and that improve public health and well-being. “[Engineering] allows you to think and be creative … We get to solve problems and [tackle] projects that seem impossible at first, but when they are completed, it's so cool. ” Cindy, junior, civil and environmental engineering, UC Berkeley It Helps to Be...Passionate about the environment. You should enjoy science and math, like solving problems, and have an eye for detail. Someone who is comfortable working as part of a team and who has good speaking and writing skills should do well in this field. To round off your studies, you will mostly...
