Next, Cece can’t correctly hear all of what her friends or fellow classmates are saying to her. Finally, Cece doesn’t fit into her new neighborhood when she moves. To add on to the idea that, Cece dislikes when others try to change their way of communicating with her. For example, “Hey! Is. That. A. Rich-ard. Scarry. Book? I. Love. Ric-hard. Scarry.” “Me, too!” Why is she talking to me like that? She doesn’t talk to Laura that way! (64). Cece wants to be treated like a normal person, not like someone who can’t hear. She doesn’t want to be different especially if talking slow is harder to hear. This affects Cece’s and Ginny’s relationship because when Cece tells Ginny about the slow talking it is really rude. Then Ginny is mad at Cece because Cece snaps at her. Cece also can’t correctly hear all of what her friends or fellow classmates are saying to her. Simple conversations are now so difficult! “Doo yoo wan sumding do dring? We haff Jerry’s mop… Shoes… Or a goat!” “I’ll have the goat!” “Huh?”(25) When Emma is offering Cece something to drink Cece can’t hear her correctly which will be trouble for their friendship.

...Shared Value Creation; Revolution or Rhetoric? Abstract The concept of Creating Shared Value(CSV), was made popular in a Harvard Business Review(2011)by M. Porter and R Kramer defines as, policies and operational practices that enhance the competitiveness of the company while transforming social problems which is related to the corporation into business opportunities and simultaneously yield greater profitability(Porter, Kramer,2011). As it sounds, it is a seductive promiseand has so far received obscene attention in the business markets and among business educators. Both authors seeks to regain trust in “business and society who has pitted against each other so long” …”Learning how to create shared value is our best chance to legitimize business”(Porter, Kramer, 2011) is how companies were viewed as prospering at the expense of the community. With both aims of evaluating and analysing the concept of creating shared value, in this paper, we suggest how CSV can help businesses harness its full potential by simply creating economic value while simultaneously creating value for society. Focusing on making the right kind profits, companies should look beyond just merely maximum profits but also integrates social benefits at the same time; starting a positive cycle which reconnects business with society. In CSV, it represents a new approach for businesses moving beyond CSR approaches in the past. However promising this bold new approach is, it has also created polarized...

...Emmott Why they impeached Andrew Johnson In the article “Why They Impeached Andrew Johnson” by David Donald, Donald states that Andrew Johnson was impeached due to his selfish and self-centered personality; also Andrew Johnson’s decisions were made to benefit him as a person and not the country. “President Andrew Johnson was called upon for positive leadership, and he did not meet the challenge. Andrew Johnson’s greatest weakness was his insensitivity to public opinion.” says David Donald explaining more of Andrew Johnson’s flaws. Then Donald goes into listing the differences between President Lincoln, who believed in taking the course of action that was held with agreement with public opinion and Andrew Johnson. Donald says that Andrew Johnson seemed not to realize the weakness of his position. He was the representative of no major interest and had no genuine political following. Basically thought the whole article David Donald list adjectives and reasons Andrew Johnson was not a good president and was impeached. David Donald also states that Andrew Johnson’s relationship with Congress was yet another one of the many reasons that Andrew Johnson was impeached. Andrew Johnson was a southern democrat who had no intentions of working with the northern republicans of congress, and one of the main issues was that Andrew Johnson was not going to continue working on the reconstruction that was started by Abraham Lincoln. Donald says that Andrew Johnson relationship with the...

...There has been much controversy about whether Andrew Jackson should remain on the $20 bill or should be replaced. Andrew Jackson should remain on the $20 bill because of many reasons. He deserves to stay on the $20 bill as a symbol of the Era of the Common Man. Some of these reasons include the destruction of the Second Bank of the United States, the prevention of nullification of South Carolina, and the Indian removal act. The Second Bank of the United States was created in 1816. It was the successor of the First Bank of the United States, and it was “America’s premier financial institution,” as stated in the document ‘Old Slickery. Jackson aimed to destroy the bank because it enabled the rich to get richer, while the poor stays poor. According...

...Curtis’ biography, Andrew Jackson and the Search for Vindication may be a difficult read for some audiences. While the basis of the book is to inform of the events leading up to the birth, followed by childhood, adult life and career of Andrew Jackson; one may also be surprised to have a better understanding of the emotional man who was the United States’ seventh president. Below are both a negative and positive critique of the Curtis’ biography of Jackson. One primary reason the book may be a challenging read is due to Curtis’ choice of the how he chose to outline the book. A better read for many would have been to write out the details of Jackson’s life year by year while including significant historical issues. Instead, Curtis chose to break the book down as a combination of political movements and the major events of Andrew Jackson’s career. In doing so, the reader may find it rather problematic when Curtis ends a chapter in a certain time period then starts the next chapter in a different time period. This is when knowledge of American History plays a key role when reading this book, otherwise the reader may become lost. While the book may not be the most favorite among certain readers, there is no doubt one can appreciate Curtis’ attempt to make the reader recognize the emotional-driven man behind the nickname “Old Hickory”. One key theme throughout the book is how Curtis allows the readers to understand just how pivotal Andrew Jackson’s early years...

...Jackson’s Support for People’s Rights For a long time, there has been political parties or at least separation of support. Andrew Jackson had many defects, but one thing that helped him with the election was his idea that people were more important than the law. Jackson’s claim for the “common man” were supported by his ideas of the veto of the National Bank, his identity as a war hero, and his decision for the trail of tears. The National Bank was an idea with a lot of controversy. Andrew Jackson vetoed the bill from congress to renew the bank because he believed the bank to be unconstitutional and harmful to state rights. In the Panic of 1819, farmers and low class workers were bitter about the national bank since it was low-key noticed that the bank favored the wealthy. Jackson supported the lower class colonists and stated that he would kill the bank before it killed him. Jackson’s move to bring down the bank was rejoiced since it resembled so closely how the colonists supported the East Tea Company. The bank became an issue in the election of 1832, but Jackson easily won with his support of the citizens....

Many said he was a tyrant but others debated that idea due to the questionable actions against congress, so was Andrew Jackson a supporter of the people who just wanted to serve them or a tyrant who did thing to only his liking and masked it as something else? Andrew Jackson is a supporter of the people because he always wanted the people to rule evident since his running, helped westward expansion by solving Native American issues, and helped pay national debt. To begin with, Andrew Jackson was a supporter of the people because he always wanted the people to rule. For example, Jackson’s campaign slogan was “Vote for us if you believe...

...Having too move out of your native land and to some foreign land that you never seen before is what the Cherokee Indians were dealing with in 1838. Many people question why harm these Indians and force them to relocate? The man behind all of this is President Andrew Jackson. President Jackson was not the only person in the United States that wanted the Indians removed, but the majority of the people in the southern states also supported this idea. How Jackson and the Southern states enforce the Indian Removal Act and how they forced the Indians out of their native homes and land was just not morally right. Andrew Jackson was elected president in the election of 1828. Jackson was a lawyer & senate in Tennessee and later in his life served in the House of Representatives. Just like most of the presidents elected at the time, Jackson was also a war hero at Horseshoe Bend and at the Battle of New Orleans....

...defined as doing what’s right for your country and giving the people a right to have representation in government by voting. The concept of the “common man” describes a white working male of middle class. Andrew Jackson was the 7th president and American war hero from the war of 1812 battle of New Orleans and fought in the Revolutionary war when he was young. Andrew Jackson supported the representation of the “common man” which made him popular amongst those who were considered in his eyes to be the “common man”. Andrew Jackson was both a democratic and undemocratic president because of his Native American policy, economic policy and Jacksonian political policy. Andrew Jackson acted democratically and undemocratically on the issue of Native American policy. The Native American Policy was how Natives were treated by the government. Source J demonstrates Jackson’s undemocratic values; showing the trails the Native American as he forces Native Americans to move and not be allowed a say in the government’s decisions on moving west. In source E, Andrew Jackson shows his democracy by wanting to help the Natives. This example is of Andrew Jackson suggestion to congress for moving all tribes west to one area to keep them from all becoming extinct. This suggestion is made official when Andrew Jackson creates the Indian Removal Act. Source L is the letters written by Jackson to his wife about the adoption of a young Native American boy without any other family. This is proof that Jackson does...

...When the year 1828 came around, the way that America elected a president changed. The common man was now allowed to vote as a result of the 1821 act. The people used that new freedom to pick whoever they could relate to the best, which in the election of 1828, was Andrew Jackson. Overall the people chose Andrew Jackson to be their president because he was more relatable even though John Quincy Adams was probably a better option. The upbringing of Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams were very different, which in turn effected the rest of their live including the election of 1828. Jackson was raised to a poor father and mother who were immigrants from Ireland. Because of this childhood, he was forced to start his first job in the military working his way up the chain of power, and because of this hard physical labor, he was strong and handsome. He did not have much schooling because of his poverty but the little that he did have was in a local elementary school and soon after that he read in law and passed the American Bar Association to...

When Lincoln died April 15, 1865, Johnson became president. He did not have a Vice President. Johnson now had the job of trying to heal the country after the Civil War left the country in ruins. President Andrew Johnson lifted himself out of extreme poverty to become President of the United States. He was a man with little education who climbed the political ladder and held many different high offices. As a strict constitutionalist, Johnson believed in limiting the powers of the federal government. President Johnson was one of the most bellicose Presidents who “fought” Congress, critics, and many others. President Andrew Johnson faced numerous problems post-Civil War Era including reconstructing the Southern states to combine peacefully with the Union, his battles with Congress, and his career ending impeachment. Following Lincoln’s tragic assassination, President Andrew Johnson took on the accountability of making Reconstruction a reality. Andrew Johnson wanted to use Lincoln’s ideas of reconstruction but in a modified form. Since Congress would be in recess for eight more months Johnson decided to go ahead with his plan. Johnson was initially left to devise a Reconstruction policy without legislative intervention, as Congress was not due to meet again until December 1865. Radical Republicans told the...
