...Compare and Contrast Programs Report Abstract The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast two other graduate counseling programs to the Bellevue University Masters of Science in Human Services program. There are many graduate counseling programs throughout the United States that are worthy of being compared and contrasted to Bellevue University’s program, but only two can be chosen. The programs that will be compared to Bellevue University’s human service program are the University of Baltimore’s human services program and Southeastern University’s human services program. In order to determine which graduate counseling program is most affective, four key points that will be compared and contrasted for each program will include the programs description, the learning platform, the requirements needed to qualify for the program as well as the classes needed to complete the program, and the internships. A conclusion will be drawn by the author on which graduate counseling program is the most beneficial to future students based on the criteria collected to compare and contrast. Compare and Contrast Programs Report Obtaining a Master’s of Science in Human Services can provide a person with the ability to help others improve their lives. The first step is finding the right program that fits with the individual’s wants and needs. Although most the graduate counseling programs are striving for the same outcome...

...An Trinh CMST 340 Pros. Amy Miller Mar 19th, 2015 Research Paper The United States is an immigrant nation, so there are different religion and color in America. Since the United States is one of the most wealthy nation in the world, other nations assume that America also an equitable country, which all race live happily together. However, they do not aware of how much racism still occur in schools, workforces, and any where else in the United States. Racism is the discrimination of different races and is the thought of one race or color of skin has more physical or mental abilities than another. Clinton (1997) believed over 100 different racial and ethnic groups would attend in colleges and universities, and Nobel Prize winners have given to various nations. While Clinton (1997) believed that there would not be such racism in the United States for the next half century, Ballman (2011) argued that discrimination has gotten more clearly over these years. While blacks and whites generally agree that they get along well, Robert (2013) stated that about seven in ten black people and more than one in four white people coincide that blacks are treated unfairly by the criminal system. Additionally, in public schools, white students have more benefits than black students. This unequal treatment also happens in workplace. Moreover, one in three blacks, one in five Hispanic Americans and one in ten whites claimed that they received inequitable respect last year because of perceptions...

...Gabrielle McQuire Prof: Mr. Flood English 101 December 1st, 2014 Digital Technology is Positively Here to Stay Since more than half of the people in our nation use some form of digital technology, it is safe to assume that it is here to stay. Digital technology restructured our society and changed the way that we do things. Almost everyone, from the very young to our senior citizens, is learning how to use some form of digital technology. It aims to support us in communicating with others, achieving an education, and succeeding in the workplace. There are countless ways that digital technology is being used both positively and negatively. However, the most commonly shared belief is that the good outweighs the bad. We have to rely on our digital tools and toys that it seems impossible to envision life without them. The advancement in digital technology changed the way people communicate with friends and family, seek job career opportunities, and the foundation of the education system. It is important to realize that many people don’t get to see their family and friends on an everyday basis. For this reason, digital technology is a great source for people to remain in contact with their loved ones. There are many social media sites where people can keep in touch with their family and friends. Several of them are Facebook, Instagram, Skype, Twitter, Tumbler, Foursquare, and Face Time. Since many families today are mobile, immediate families and their extended...

...“Amazon.com and Border Books” Submitted by xxxxxxxxxxxx Bus 302 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 05-13-12 Amazon.com and Border Books History Amazon.com is a Fortune 500 e-commerce company based in Seattle, WA. It was started by Jeff Bezos in 1994. He started this business out of his garage in Bellevue, Washington. Initially he was able to fund his new venture from Nick Hanauer who provided the first investment of $40,000. A second investment of $100,000 from Tom Alburg was what the company needed in order to become more user friendly. During the first month of business, Bezos was able to fulfill domestic as well as international shipments to more than 48 countries. Amazon was one of the first big companies to sell goods over the Internet. Amazon serves a worldwide audience. Its website was launched in 1995 and is available in English, Chinese, French, German and Japanese. Amazon began as an online bookstore. This gave it the advantage of having more titles than the traditional brick-and-mortar stores. It has since grown way beyond this to sell all kinds of products. Amazon has branched into clothing, gourmet food, watches, jewelry, baby products and apparel, beauty products, sporting goods, music CD’s, DVD’s, video tapes, home appliances and electronics. In September 1997 Amazon.com opened an East Coast distribution center in New Castle, Delaware. This expansion improved and also increased the ability of the company to stock and ship items...

...Jammie Hoffman Advanced Comp& Economics Research Paper 4/19/16 Bill Gates & the Success of Microsoft An entrepreneur is a risk-taker, someone who takes chances to pursue a goal. Entrepreneurs must understand what consumers want and must create a product that drives these consumers towards making a purchase. Understanding the patterns of an economy is a rather difficult task to handle, and only a select few are about to flourish with the way the economy functions. Either an entrepreneur will risk everything and fail, or they will manage to overcome the odds and create a project that could change the face of our economy. Many entrepreneurs fail to make a product successful and hardly any is as recognizable as the creator of Microsoft, Bill Gates. Bill (William) Gates was born on October, 28th, 1955 in Seattle, Washington to an upper- middle-class couple. Gates was the second of three children. Gates developed an early interest in computers and computer software after his parents enrolled him in a private school known as the Lakeside school (Foley). While at Lakeside, Gates met his eventual business partner, Paul Allen. Gates, 15 years old at the time, and Paul, who was two years older, proved their enthusiasm for computers by creating a software system known as “Traf-o-Data.” The objective of this system was to track traffic patterns throughout the city of Seattle. “Traf-o-Data” brought in $20,000 for the two young entrepreneurs (Editors). The system did not become...

PROFILE IN PRACTICE Laura J. Robinson Adult Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Student, University of Connecticut School of Nursing Nursing history is important to me because it has provided me with the opportunity to fulfill my goal to advance my career as a nurse practitioner, a role that was not existent less than half a century ago. Ambitious nurses before me had to establish themselves in a new career, gain recognition, and succeed in order for the position to be present today. One person whom I particularly admire and who helped pave the way is my grandmother, Olive Shea. Grandma Shea earned her RN diploma in 1944 after completing the 3-year certification program offered by Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut. After various nursing positions, she was employed by the University of Connecticut at the...

...HUMAN RESOURCES Conference Paper Abstracts A CHANGE RECIPIENT PERSPECTIVE ON TRAINING AND COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT DURING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE Olsen, Trude Hogvold; Harstad U. College; trude.olsen@hih.no Stensaker, Inger G.; NHH Norw.Schl of Economics and Business Adm.; inger.stensaker@nhh.no As organizations change and adapt to pressures in the external and internal environment, managers and employees are required to learn new competencies and skills. Ideally, new skill requirements should be identified and developed early in the change process in order to ensure that managers and employees are ready to face their new tasks and roles when the changes are implemented. However, despite good intentions at the top management level, employees and middle managers often report uncertainty and a lack of the necessary skills required to implement change. In this paper, we report from a qualitative study of two planned organizational change initiatives in the public sector. The changes involved new work tasks and managerial roles for a group of middle managers. Although the skill requirements appeared to be clear and formal training was initiated, a number of uncertain and ambiguous issues emerged among the change recipients. We examine the types of uncertainty and ambiguity that emerged and how change recipients attempted to handle these challenges. Our findings suggest that although necessary and important, formal training procedures are not adequate for resolving competence-related...

...the importance of communication and the role it plays among the workers. Communication process is the sending and receiving of messages and the source sending (encodes) the intended meaning message through a channel which the receiver (decodes) the message perceived meaning and then possibly the receiver communicating through feedback to the sender returning another message. By having the feedback process we can help the communication process improve. It is very important to have an effective and efficient communication. People today spend most of the time of their lives in different kinds of organization school, work, hobbies and etc. And for organizations to function it takes effective internal and external communication. This term paper is done because a well-organized communication process is very essential for the employees to be able to delegate work as well as inform the others about their status in projects and tasks. To be able to do that one has to communicate correctly, with the right and effective channel. There should be a functional way to keep everyone informed about things that everyone should know. What is Communication? Communication is the activity of conveying meaningful information. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the...

...Emergency Medical Services: The Evolution Behind the System Russell Keogler CED 595: Project Seminar May 3, 2011 Dr. Richard Gatteau Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the evolutionary process of the emergency medical services system. The research explores the impact of war and prominent military figures on the development of emergency medical services as well as civilian efforts made to establish emergency services within the public sector. The research also discusses the ways in which major medical advancements and various reports and acts of legislation played a crucial part in the development of the modern day EMS system. Overall, results show that the EMS system as we know it today is a fairly modern creation based on centuries’ worth of ideas and discoveries. Introduction In modern day America the three digits 9-1-1 signify an accessible lifeline for individuals in need of emergency medical attention. The vast system is accessible from any telephone line and provides emergency services to even the most remote locations of the country. However, in spite of the simplistic process to initiate services, the emergency medical system is very complex. Thousands of independent agencies working in different capacities must coordinate efforts to insure that the system runs efficiently. Without effective cooperation by organizations the system would undeniably fail to meet the expectations of those calling for medical aid (Limmer &...

...CULTURE SPECIFIC AND CROSSCULTURALLY GENERALIZABLE IMPLICIT LEADERSHIP THEORIES: ARE ATTRIBUTES OF CHARISMATIC/TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP UNIVERSALLY ENDORSED?1 This study focuses on culturally endorsed implicit theories of leadership (CLTs). Although crosscultural research emphasizes that different cultural groups likely have different conceptions of what leadership should entail, a controversial position is argued here: namely that attributes associated with charismatic/transformational leadership will be universally endorsed as contributing to outstanding leadership. This hypothesis was tested in 62 cultures as part of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) Research Program. Universally endorsed leader attributes, as well as attributes that are universally seen as impediments to outstanding leadership and culturally contingent attributes are presented here. The results support the hypothesis that specific aspects of charismatic/transformational leadership are strongly and universally endorsed across cultures. Deanne N.
