...Europe must not close the doors of their borders to Syrians migrants. The immigration crisis in Syria, to been the more large humanitarian crisis in Europe since the Second World War. But, why are there so many emigrants from the Syrian country. In general the expansion of the Islamic State, religious conflict - the Muslims that Sunni exceeds 70% of the 18 million inhabitants of the country. The Alawi and Shia that they account for more than 10%. Completing the picture Christians (especially Orthodox, 10%) and minorities such as the Druze -.and the pressing economic situation - caused by massive privatization and adjustments demanded by the International Monetary Fund, caused that it will shoot unemployment, exacerbated by the uncontrolled increase of the population: 2000 Syrians were 18 million and in 2005, 21 million - are some of the responses. But the more relevant is the civil war that there is in Syria. Since the beginning of the war in Syria at the beginning of the year 2011, there have been more than 12 million Syrians who have migrated from their country. Consequently this serious humanitarian situation has been repeated for many years, every day becomes more intense and in 2013 was already 60,000 people who launched this risky adventure, to arrive at the figure of most of 210,000 in 2014 that have sought refuge in any country that accepts them receive, asked that today is almost impossible.

...Tiffany Prill Challenges of Leadership Leadership Book Analysis Modern World Leaders- Angela Merkel The person chosen for this leadership report is Angela Merkel. I read “Modern World Leaders-Angela Merkel” written by Clifford W. Mills. Being born in Berlin, with my pride in being German, as well as being a female with my own leadership ambitions, I felt Angela Merkel was a perfect fit for me. Gaining knowledge on the leadership style from one of the most powerful and influential women in the world, while also learning the values and beliefs my country is grounded on, I find Angela Merkel to be extremely interesting leader to study. Angela Merkel (born Angela Dorothea Kasner), was born in Hamburg, Germany on July 17, 1954. Angela was raised in East Germany where she later received Associates degree in 1973. Shortly after, she enrolled to the Karl Marx University where she later met and married Ulrich Merkel.She graduates with a bachelor and continues onto her PhD in Science at the Central institute for Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin. By 1986 she received her PhD which is also the same year she goes back to West Germany for the first time since she was baby. It was the many years in West Germany, full of communism and hardships, that taught Merkel how strong and powerful government could be. Merkel was determined to use power to serve the people not use it to control them. Rather than telling them what they wanted hear, she told them what to...

...This dissertation will discuss Angela Merkel’s Leadership style and ethics during the Euro crisis. It will also compare Angela Merkel’s leadership style to servant leadership style. It will also describe how servant leadership may or may not change the outcomes of the Euro crisis. In the closure of the dissertation, I will discuss my own leadership philosophy. Angela Merkel Angela Merkel is the Chancellor of Germany. Last fall, she was elected to her third term as chancellor of Germany, making her one of the only two European Union leaders that survived the economic crisis (The Guardian, 2013). Angela Merkel was named by Forbes in 2014 as the most powerful women in the world (Forbes, 2014). Angela Merkel’s leadership style is pragmatic and methodical (The Guardian, 2013). Anne Applebaum (2013) states “She reigns. She doesn’t tell people what to do, she doesn’t give orders, and she isn’t bossy or pushy. She doesn’t throw Germany’s weight around or make demands. She simply sets parameters, and then lets everybody else make ‘choices’ themselves.” Merkel’s leadership style is prudent, democratic, and modest. Merkel prefers discussion, deliberation and consensus (Zeeb, 2013). The Germans call her “Mutti” (mummy), because she understands what her country wants and makes sure her country gets it (Zeeb, 2013 & The Guardian, 2013). Angela Merkel is a no nonsense leader that is well respected. Merkel and the Euro Debt Crisis The European sovereign debt crisis...

...skills approach focuses on the ability to use one’s knowledge and competencies to accomplish a set of goals and objectives. In terms of these competencies, the skills approach identifies three particular competencies that are related to strong leadership which include: technical skills, human skills, and conceptual skills. In terms of these competencies, Angela Merkel has demonstrated strong qualities, made influential decisions, been elected through a public election process, and received numerous accolades that indicate she has a high level of proficiency and effectiveness in all three aforementioned competencies associated with the skills approach. The leadership competency of technical skill can be defined as the knowledge about and proficiency in a specific type of work or activity, and involve a hand-on activity with a basic product or process within an organization (Northouse, pg 44). In terms of politics, the technical skills necessary involves knowledge of foreign policy, an ability to effectively negotiate with other leaders and unions, and also an ability to enact effective policies for the area one governs. Angela Merkel is a prime example of the skills approach in relation to technical skills because of the fact that her successful tenure as the Chancellor of Germany was precluded by a late involvement in politics. As was previously mentioned, Chancellor Merkel did not become involved in any kind of politics until the age of 36. Thus, she had to learn and acquire...

...Investigating PEOPs Go to the PEOPs page via the link on Blackboard. Answer the following questions: 1. What is a PEOP? (that you can tell) A PEOP is a drawing of a random person with their story written around them. The story is usually about a personal experience or belief. 2. Describe the conventions of this genre (images, text, content= what does it say?, form= what does it look like?/how is it presented? Nothing is too detailed or “obvious” here) The Images are usually drawn as realistically as possible, but sometimes have some sort of symbolism. For example, the PEOP about Mike Ill is a drawing of him with two faces, one screaming at another image of Mike. I’m not exactly sure how it is relevant to the story, or why his nametag says “William”, but I’m sure there is some meaning to it. The text is hand written by the drawer, Fly, and is written around the image. It is usually a personal experience about the person who is drawn. They are written in conversation form as if they were personally speaking to the readers. Some are more formal than others because of the sense that Fly gets from them. Each story is very different, but Fly is basically pointing out that every person has an amazing story to tell about his or her life. 3. Pick your favorite PEOP (or least favorite)—what is your response to it, and why? I really enjoyed reading the PEOP about Michelle Tea. I could really relate to how she felt. She says that people bring their high...

... I want to become a motivated writer just like Angela Davis. She was a woman of her word and very helpful to the people. She really did motivate people when they felt like giving up hope. When I grow up I plan to encourage people with my words and actions and to be mentor to many. Angela Davis was born in Birmingham, where she grew up in a moderately wealthy family. Both of her parents were teachers and they provided a model of black activism. When I go around the world I would like for people to ask me who I am. I will say that I am a mentor, a provider and I am someone willing to help others. Angela Davis attended Elisabeth Irwire an integrated private high school in New York. She received many Scholarships such as the one from the American Friends Southern Negro Students Committee. I also plan to receive many scholarships. She attended college in Waltham, Mass where she went to Brandis University and majored in French. I want to study Japanese something that will add to my being different from most. Angela Davis went to many places to study Philosophy with her college partner Herbert Marcus. After her last trip to study at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfort, she came back to America and began teaching at the University Of California. During college she got hired by the Philosophy Department. Angela Davis had a problem because her job was trying to fire her. They finally found something. Angela Davis was arrested and accused of bought some guns...

...German Defence Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg has stepped down after he was found to have copied large parts of his 2006 university doctorate thesis. Mr Guttenberg, considered until recently a possible candidate for chancellor, has already been stripped of his PhD. He told a news conference that it was "the most painful step of my life". Tens of thousands of German academics have written to Chancellor Angela Merkel complaining about his conduct. The plagiarism scandal led to him being nicknamed Baron Cut-and-Paste, Zu Copyberg and Zu Googleberg by the German media. But Ms Merkel had continued to stand by him, with her party facing three state elections later this month. Mr Guttenberg told reporters in Berlin that he was relinquishing all his political offices and he thanked the chancellor for her support, trust and understanding. "I must agree with my enemies who say that I was not appointed minister for self-defence, but defence minister," he said. "I was always ready to fight, but have to admit I have reached the limit of my strength." A 39-year-old aristocrat popular with the electorate, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg is a member of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian sister party of the chancellor's Christian Democrats. He came under pressure after a Bremen University law professor began reviewing his 2006 thesis with the aid of the internet. Reports emerged of a passage from a newspaper article that featured word for word, and then of a paragraph...

...communicate with. Naturally if we can't seem to understand another person, don't agree, or practice what they do we find people who we do have similarities with. As we are a multicultural nation, priding this country on its diversity, we still stick to our own sub-cultures within the larger culture. In order for people to communicate effectively, there must be steps to take so that we can assure another individual or group doesn't become ostracized. In order to begin this process we need to develop a better strategic flexibility (Hybels, S. 6). There are many factors that go into a multi-culture adapting to each other, but we cannot allow full ignorance and laziness to take over. In the article The multicultural cult, German chancellor Angela Merkel has said "multiculturalism has utterly failed." She goes on to give examples of why it has done so, including taking one group of poverty stricken people and placing them in an area of middle class, thinking they would strive or be better off there. The government didn't realize that without some form of adaptation, this wouldn't and hasn't worked. Instead the people who were placed there didn't know how to adapt to the in place cultural system. This lack of cohesiveness and confusion has only lead to unsuccessful complications, "in countries around the world, and over the centuries, peoples with jarring differences in language, culture, and values have been a major problem and, too often, sources of major disasters for the societies...

...to keep her children from starving. Angela’s Ashes can also be the death of her children, the fireplace she put on every day, and the ashes from her woodpines. 2. Why is Angela’s mother so cruel to Angela, her husband, and her children? Angela’s mother is so cruel to Angela and her family because she may not like that her daughter married a man from the North with an odd manner and had children with him. She feels like she is paying for her daughter’s mistakes. Irish women need to be strong and can block out emotions and compassion to their children even though she gave birth to them. 3. Why didn’t the nun allow Frank and Patricia to talk to each other and keep each other company while they were trying to go through their sickness in the hospital? The nun did not allow Frank and Patricia to talk because maybe she thought they would like each other and approach one another in a sexual manner since they were a boy and a girl or she might have feared they would catch each other’s sickness. 4. Why does Angela sleep with Laman Griffen? Angela sleeps with Laman Griffen because she is at a moment of weakness and since she lives under his household for free she feels she has to serve him in any way he wants or he would kick her out of the house. Also Angela has been abandoned by her husband and may feel that through sleeping with Laman she is wanted and loved. 5.

...The signs of greater confidence in the economic and equity outlook lend an upbeat tone to this week’s five-day gathering in Davos, Switzerland of 2,500 executives, policy makers, investors and academics. Delegates include German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, both of whom won praise in the poll. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein and billionaire investor George Soros will also be there. “There’s a great sense of relief we dodged a lot of bullets in 2012 -- we didn’t go off the fiscal cliff in the U.S., Europe didn’t have a meltdown and China didn’t have a hard landing,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Inc. (IHS) in Lexington, Massachusetts, who will be in Davos. “There are definitely pockets of good news with recoveries in North America and parts of Asia gathering momentum.” U.S. economic activity picked up across much of the country last month, boosted by automobile and home sales, the Federal Reserve said on Jan. 16 in its Beige Book survey of business conditions.

...multiculturalism in Britain has literally failed, because Britain has become one of Europe’s most active bases for terrorists’ spots. One of David Cameron’s biggest statements from his speech is that he claims that the main roots of this terror-problem is that because of multiculturalism has encouraged segregated communities where Islamic extremism can live and live separated lives, apart from each other. One of the problems is also that very religious people live by their own rules and faith, because of their holy scriptures and their religion, that they are having a hard time sticking to the law, democracy, human rights and social integration, because they are guided that much about their faith. He shares these attitudes with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and President Nicolas Sarkozy of France. One of David Cameron’s main arguments is that the racism or discrimination is mutual....
