Ideally, these embrace a system that exert a pull on, develops, motivates, and maintain workers who guarantee the effective operation and survival of the business and its component.

...Juliette Gordon Low: Analysis of Development By: Mary E. Dean May 3, 2014 Lifespan Development Walden University Spring Quarter 2014 Prof. V. Salzer Juliette Gordon Low is most recognized for founding and running what is now known as Girl Scouts of America. Her insight and forward thinking for her time led to this astonishing achievement but what did it take for her to get there, who or what influenced her to rise above the conventional thinking of her time and forge to such great heights? In this analysis I hope to discover answers to that question while exploring age old concepts like nature versus nurture and comparing such development theories like Erickson’s stages of development and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Juliette Gordon Low, or Daisy as she was known in her childhood, was born October 31, 1860 into a life of privilege in Savannah, GA. Juliette was the second oldest of six children. Her father William Washington Gordon was born in the south and strongly believed in the true southern traditions such as owning slaves and that the South should succeed from the Union.

These opposing views caused much anguish for Juliette’s mother during the Civil War and would play a strong influence on the family dynamics as Juliette grew up.

...very interesting article and analysis. As in the article there is an interview of the formal financial minister of Colombia, I think it would be interesting to compliment it with my point of view of the Colombian situation. As you mentioned, Colombia has being relying its growth in commodities with no added value as oil, carbon, chemicals and gold; but with the internal war, the situation is a little bit more complicated. On the first hand, Colombia´s agricultural exploitation didn’t started too long ago as the level of war didn’t allow it. This means that the level of production is still far from its real potential, not only because productivity is very low, but also because the level of empty/nonproductive land is extremely high. As a result, even if we are talking about commodities, Colombia should keep on developing agriculture but in a more productive way. In this regard, three actions must be carrying on: * Very high investment in infrastructure: this is one of the biggest problems that faces the country, affecting both agriculture and industry. At the present there is barely river navigation, there are no train railways and highways are embarrassing. * Technology: Production in Colombia is very rustic and as a result, productivity is very low. Investing and promoting responsible agro industrial projects will allow the country to take profit of its amazing natural resources. * Empty land distribution: As a consequence of the war, nowadays the government has...

...Internet Assignment 1 Marketing Strategy Analysis Wendy Willard Genesee Community College A high-profile service called Games2U claims to be “America’s #1 Provider of Mobile Entertainment!” G2U (2013,) Games2U brings entertainment to the customers’ place of choice. They have ten separate experiences and price by piece of equipment you schedule to rent, and how long you would like your event. The mobile gaming industry is relativity new and upcoming field. Games2U has an extensive marketing strategy. Games2U was premiered on them on Shark Tank and I found the experiences they were showing something I would love to promote or start a franchise in. They really have used the marketing concept. It is obvious that the social and economic justification for Games2U’s existence is satisfying the customer’s wants. The pieces Games2u rent are fun and each has it’s own characteristics. Their product is an experience guided by the theme/piece the customer would like to rent. My favorite piece is the life size robot you get into and control. It is 7 feet tall and you use joystick controls to move it around. It changes your voice with a voice synthesizer so you can talk with a robot voice. It also gives you the control of a fog machine that pours out fog all around the Ubot. Some of the Ubots have tennis ball launchers as arms. The one on Shark Tank had the launchers and it was even fun to watch. The Ubots have to be one of Games2U’s stars because it is a fast-growing...

Therefore, it is only fitting that he goes first. In Chaucer’s work, he “. . . creates his knight in such a historical detail that we can easily explore the specific kind of knight he might have been . . .” (Calabrese 3). Chaucer describes his knight as “. . . a most distinguished man . . .” (Coghill 4). The narrator illustrates the Knight to be a man who “followed chivalry, truth, honor, generousness and courtesy” (4). Furthermore, the Knight presents himself in a polite fashion, never speaking insensitive words about anyone. Through Chaucer’s words and descriptions, it...

...Patrick Henry’s Speech Rhetorical Analysis Lawyer and politician, Patrick Henry, in his speech to the Virginia Convention, describes the dire situation the American Colonists have faced with their homeland, Great Britain, in the past few years. The House of Burgesses was firmly against starting a war with Britain, but Henry urged the House members to rouse a militia to fight the British Army.

...(Name) (Tutor) (Course) (Date) Geopolitical Brinksmanship: The Psychology of Leaders and the Dangerous Leadership Paths Personality plays a huge role in shaping the social, as well as, the political behavior of leaders around the world. This has been highly demonstrated through recent events around the world such as the 9/11 twin bombing attacks, the soviet demise, and the war in Iraq. For an individual to understand how and why certain events occur in the country, it is essential to assess mannerisms of prominent world leaders. At the moment, everyone around the world feels the need to understand and find out the underlying motivation of the admirable and not so admirable leaders.

The presence of high –tech industries and weapons of all kinds have given many people dynamic power and, therefore, bringing the focus of why it is important to understand the behaviors of leaders based on their personalities. This essay will evaluate the psychology of leaders using examples from three different books, and drawing examples from a variety of prominent leaders. Post, for instance, presents psychological theories that surround the lives of leaders and some terrorists. He focuses on discussing essential issue such as the effects of age and illness on...
