This statement just implies that if two individuals are put in a similar circumstance, they would react differently on the grounds that they would be receptive to various parts of the circumstance. Due to their different experiences in life they would differently interpret the situation. As a supervisor I would become more interested with my clients so I can put them in circumstances that draw from their experience and get the best out of them.

Also there was a time when my grandfather had fell through a glass coffee table, and by the grace of god he got up with not one cut on his body.

...Exigent Circumstances Knekiida Jenkins-Hicks Lincoln College Online Professor Luevano December 01, 2013 Exigent Circumstances Exigent circumstances are emergency circumstance, including hot pursuit, the possibility of escape, or the destroying of evidence. When exigent circumstances are present, the police do not need to abide by the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement (Worrall, 2012). In a more basic form exigent circumstance are those situations that are considered emergencies such as, high speed chases, in situations where a suspect is trying to get away, or if the evidence has a chance of being messed up. In these situations the police don’t need a warrant. In the case of Ryburn v Huff (2013) some students at a California High School told their principle that Vincent Huff wrote a threatening letter and in it he said he was going to shoot up the school. The principal then contacted the police and had them to investigate the rumor. The police interview two of Huff’s classmates and they inform the officer that Huff had been bullied. One of his classmate’s told authorities that he believed Huff would carry out the threat. After the officer’s found out that Huff had been bullied and that he missed a few days of school and that raised great concern for the officers. After talking to the principal and Huffs’ classmates they wanted to talk to Huff.

...Exigent Circumstances to Search and Seizure The Fourth Amendment to The Constitution of the United States Kirk H. Andersen Park University July 2012 Abstract One of the greatest rights the Founding Fathers of the United States of America gave to its citizens was the right against unreasonable search and seizure. This right is guaranteed under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. When this right is abridged by the government, what recourse does the citizen have to try and right this wrong? The appellate court system, up to the United States Supreme Court, was created to protect citizens rights. However, the courts have found, that under certain circumstances the government is capable of executing a search or seizure without a warrant as the Fourth Amendment so requires. This paper addresses exigent circumstances to search and seizure. Exigent Circumstances to Search and Seizure The Fourth Amendment to The Constitution of the United States The Constitution of the United States is the basic document that governs the citizens of the United States of America. The framers of the Constitution wrote it with deep emotions in response to how the American Colonies had been treated under the British Crown. The Fourth Amendment, in particular, to protect citizens from unreasonable search and seizure, was written in response to how the colonist had been subject to writs of assistance, which were warrants that British Customs Officers and soldiers...

...I AM A MAN OF VISION by Salome F Baria I am a man of vision. I dream to pursue every single strand of my aspirations. I desire to live in an atmosphere where I could enjoy my rights and privileges as a youngster, and liberty to do what I know is best for me and my generation. Thus, I have a mission. Mission to preserve my present world wherein I could satisfy my hunger and thirst for real freedom. My province Apayao is my world…my cherished place. Young ever as it is yet power packed with countless bounties. Patiently waiting for the perfect moment to be made known. Here I am! I stand and advance with much vigor and vigilance. I shall conquer the dynamo concealed within each corner of this region…for its own glory and for my advantage. Everything is perfectly beautiful in this place. The resources endowed by God. Vast mountain ranges and plains monopolized by income-generating privileges and reigned by exotic creatures. Matched by crystal clear streams and rivers inhabited by fellow living things. Oh how can I preclude myself from adoring this place? Nothing is to be compared absolutely. For from dawn to twilight, its radiance shall never fail. The culture of this place is a priceless treasure. It transcends through towns and villages and it is a unifying factor among all ages: be it young or old, fortunate and the less. Culture reflects the past, uniquely empowers the present, and foretells what life looks life ahead. It is indeed more than the tadek, baag, and...

...Assessment Task: Critically assess management practices and the impact of culture upon them, including work, motivation, entrepreneurship, leadership and team-working. Impact of culture on work Management practices are task oriented and relationship oriented. Task oriented relationship is that in which the head fixates on the tasks which need to be accomplished in order to meet several goals or to complete a certain work standard. On the other hand, relationship oriented is a behavior dependent which could be the satisfaction focused by the leader as well as ordinary health of the team members. To illustrate this , Australian are task oriented in that they want to get a job done while Indians are more relationship focused; more interested in the way they work with other colleagues. Moreover in a task focused relationship there would be high turnover, whereas in the relationship focused the leader is trust worthy. Impact of culture on Motivation Motivation is a state arising in processes that are internal and external to the individual, in which the person perceives that it is appropriate to pursue a certain course of action directed at achieving a specified outcome (Rollinson ,2005, pp.189). Motivation depends on the relationship and cultural factors in which performance plays an important role. In task focused relationship progress and productivity of the individual is measured. On the other hand, in relationship oriented motivation, comfort and feelings...

...Is it better to change one's attitude than to change one's circumstances? It seems an unequivocal truth that people’s attitude is the one that demonstrates superior importance of the environment around. A trip down history, however, does not really bear out the claim. Epitomes in both modern life and art stand as best testimony to the idea that those who experienced the alternation of environment could finally have the taste of triumph. As one of the most controversial and influential celebrities in China, Luo never fails to surprise the public. He used to be a manual worker, at that time he aimed to earn more profit; he used to be a former English teacher, at that time he looked forward to having blossoms everywhere. His purpose altered when surface in different circumstances. When Luo became the defector of the education institution, he announced that he would start a smartphone company, the public opinion almost leaned to the same side against him, considering he was a former English teacher, who had little to no experience in electronic industry. With a compact crew of about 10 people, Luo started his fledgling company. In 2013, Luo admitted that he underestimated the difficulty of developing a new product and postponed his schedule of releasing his first smartphone. This concession brought him overwhelming jeers. However, Luo refused to yield to the biased judgment imposed on him. Perfectly aware of the limitation of individuals’ power, he hired a team of elite...

...Unit 3: Citizenship, Diversity and the Public Services P5 Policies and procedures with relation to Public Services: -Providing opportunities of equality and Anti-Discriminatory Policies and Procedures: such as Recruitment, Selection, Promotion and Training. Any ethnic minority, religion, sex, race etc. should not be discriminated through recruitment to join a Public Service role. This can be done through effective selection; this can be done through targeted selection where a public service will advertise through posters, newspaper articles/adverts etc. The Public Services such as the Army will mention “we are looking for this religion” e.g. Sikh to join the Front Line. To maintain equality within training, a Public Service will not breach any Anti-Discrimination policies, such as in the Police, all trainees to become constables, will be equal with no isolation towards religious or ethnic beliefs, on the basis of sex and all other Anti-Discrimination policies, all trainees will remain together, to feel equal and privacy. Personally I think this is an effective way to promote diversity, as members of the public and of the chosen religion will feel like useful individuals which have a specialist role. And the Police have to represent society e.g. can’t have all officers white British male when they live in the centre of Moss side which is predominately a wider range of other ethnic groups. https://www.gmcvo.org.uk/ethnic-population-greater-manchester-districts- Although it...

...V-236 2/12/14 Case 1 Zappos has 10 different commandments that they abide by on the everyday basis. There are two commandments that stand out in my opinion that would influence the way employees do their work. Be adventures, creative and open minded. Giving the employees the ability to take risk when doing their normal day task. For example, the call center workers are promoted to try new things to make the customers feel delighted and appreciated. Where as some jobs that offer a call center have their employees on a scripted dialogue, almost making them sound like robots. I think Zappos has faith in there employment by giving the employees an encouragement to make misstates because they are only going to learn from them. The second commandment that stood out to me was, create fun and a little weirdness in the work environment. I believe that this brings the workers closer together, because it actually shows peoples personality. In most work environments you always have to dress business professional and act accordingly. Zappos is bringing the aspect of being yourself in the work place. So if that means dressing in pajamas and having blue hair, that’s accepted at Zappos. They don’t mind people having fun while being the best at what they do. This type of commandment shows how confident this company is, because the results always show their success. Tony Hsieh said, “ I think it really boils down to our focus on a company culture” meaning your culture...

...According to Wikipedia, culture shock is a feeling of disorientation when experiencing an unfamiliar way of life due to immigration or a visit to a new country. Personally, when I first came to States, the primary problem that I have is the language barrier even though I have learnt American English for years at my homeland. What came along with this discomfort of communication are homesickness, information overload and boredom. These are the most sympathetic signs of my disorientation from own experiences. Fortunately, as Internet has become a cheap technology that make the globe into a small village and meanwhile everything has been easily accessible through online, I feel much more relaxed and adaptable when facing this culture obstacle. The way we browse the news, watch videos and shop online are exactly the same everywhere in the world, and this has brought me a lot of benefits of orienting myself into the American culture. Despite the technology has given me lots of convenience, there are still many differences in various respects including education, transportation, having food and shopping in terms of cultural distinction. Before coming to USA, my schedule was basically aligned with my job, five days at work and two days off. I preferred to shop online on Friday so that I can receive my purchases on Saturday morning or noon. In the weekends, I spent most of my time on my hobbies, I like catching up with my friends in a big shopping mall and going out of town...

...After reading the last section of Huckleberry Finn’s story, I have concluded that almost everyone involved in the story from the beginning, is essentially just a puppet in Tom Sawyer’s adventures. Throughout the story of Huck’s adventures, we see how Huck is a victim of circumstance and we learn that if anything can go wrong, it can and it will, especially if it involves Huck (he is evidently the most unlucky person). However, the victim of circumstance, misfortune on Huck’s part, and strange points we read about through the story prove how the irony and further support the claims of a victim of circumstance and misfortune on Huck’s part. For example, of all the places of Huck to find and end up at in the conclusion of the story, it just happens to be Tom Sawyer’s extended family? That was obviously strange and almost extremely unlikely to occur if it happens in the real world, but above all of that is Huck thinking on several occasions about Tom’s role in Jim’s escape and this adventure. Huck wonders why Tom would...
