...Richard Mueller WR 100 Nov 30th Dr. Leary Reflection 3: Lecture For my on campus lecture requirement, I chose to learn more about studying abroad. In my FE-100 class, I was told by one of my teachers, senior John Hopkins that he would be hosting a study abroad info session for any FE classes. Knowing how much fun and how great of a time my mom had when she decided to go to Rome for a semester, I definitely wanted to see the options that were available to me. The meeting was held right after class in Sellinger Hall, John brought in a lot of guest speakers who have actually just got back from studying abroad from places like Bangkok, Ireland, Australia, and China. First, we went around the room introducing ourselves. Next John passed out a huge handout with all the information on every place we could go studying abroad and what the requirements and prerequisites for each trip. And he also brought up on the computer of how to research them on Loyola’s website if we needed more information. After John talked about the information for almost all of the trips, we got to here experiences from each one of the students that were there. The guy that went to Bangkok spoke first; he told a lot of stories all about how awesome the apartments are, told us how easy it was to keep up with your school work, and how relaxing it was to have two week breaks to just go explore the capitals, mountains, and to take a trip to Hong Kong. The two girls that went to Ireland spoke next, and spoke...

...This paper will discuss strategies for implementing changes to the education of juveniles housed at the new Juvenile Justice Center. The Juvenile Justice Center, formerly Youth Study Center, will add vocational technical training to the regular education already offered to juveniles. Vocational technical training will offer juveniles employable skills upon release. To properly implement this training, management must develop a monitoring process, understand the relationships of processes, systems, and professional roles. Monitoring There are 3 components in the monitoring process of the implementation of a vocational technical education curriculum at the new Juvenile Justice Center. The monitoring components includes: 1) data collection; 2) evaluation and communication procedures; and 3) documentation. Data collection includes data relative to implementation. Ideally, these data should be able to summarize the effects of adding a vocational technical curriculum to the regular curriculum. At a minimum, monitoring data should include: ▪ Annual material and equipment costs ▪ Tracking released juveniles for employment ▪ Assessing regular education progress versus vocational technical process ▪ Significant changes in personnel In addition, management must identify who is responsible for the collection and frequency of data collection. All data should be collected frequently enough to make certain that information is recorded correctly. Evaluating the data collected...

...Final Project – Hope in the Heartland Introduction Moore is a city in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, United States and is part of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. The population was 55,081 at the 2010 census, making it the seventh largest city in the state of Oklahoma. Oklahoma is the 46th state, located in the West South Central part of the United States. It is the 28th most populous of the 50 United States. The name is derived from the Choctaw words okla and humma meaning “red people” (Baird, & Danney, 1994). On the afternoon of May 20, 2013 an EF5 tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma, and adjacent areas on the afternoon of May 20, 2013, with peak winds estimated at 210 miles per hour, killing 23 people and injuring 377 others. The storm first struck near Newcastle, Oklahoma, at 2:56 p.m. CDT Monday, 16 minutes after the first warnings went out, according to the National Weather Service. Moore residents had another 30 to 40 minutes before the massive storm entered the western part of the city. On the east side of Moore, Briarwood Elementary was damaged, but everyone made it out alive. At Plaza Towers Elementary, about 75 students and staff members were hunkered down when the tornado struck. Several died at the school, including a number of children. The building was reduced to just a few walls. Moore Medical Center was also hit. It went from a two-story building to a one story and was not able to be occupied. ...

Crucial information presented includes: 1. Introductory materials on Reflection by Diane Hedin and Dan Conrad 2. Reflective teaching techniques using eleven different forms of reflection rather than just using journals and asking how participants feel about service 3. Basic critical thinking skills that may be used in reflection sessions 4. Bibliography Reflection Reflective learning techniques are not the lone providence of service activities. All thinking and dialogue requires some form of reflection if learning is to take place. Individuals need time and reconsideration of events to put facts and ideas into sequence and eventually into a better understanding as to what happened during a specific event. Everyone in their life-time will be required to repeat this process endlessly. Nevertheless, schools do little...

...International Dimensions in Organizational Behavior | Cross-Cultural Communication INTRODUCTION "We didn't all come over on the same ship, but we're all in the same boat." – Bernard Baruch, American financier and statesman. The Internet and modern technology have opened up new marketplaces that allow us to promote our businesses to new geographic locations and cultures. And given that it can now be as easy to work with people remotely as it is to work face-to-face, cross-cultural communication is increasingly the new norm. For those of us who are native English-speakers, it is fortunate that English seems to be the language that people use if they want to reach the widest possible audience. However, even for native English speakers, cross-cultural communication can be an issue: Just witness the mutual incomprehension that can sometimes arise between people from different English-speaking countries. In this new world, good cross-cultural communication is a must. BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION Obviously, not all individuals acculturate similarly. Some find the daily challenges of responding to another culture to be too stressful and overwhelming. If possible, such individuals will choose to return to their cultural origin; if they cannot do so, various kinds of maladaptive adjustments, or even mental illness, can occur. People misunderstand each other for a wide variety of reasons, and these misunderstandings can occur between people who are culturally...

...Global Logistics and Local Dilemmas Peter V. Hall Urban Studies Program, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada ABSTRACT Global logistics which connects widely dispersed producers and consumers are increasingly organized through gateways and corridors located in urban regions. At the same time, global logistics systems are increasingly infrastructurally, economically and institutionally disconnected from the city-regions that host them. This disconnection raises a series of dilemmas for the host localities. This paper presents a conceptual framework for understanding the dilemmas that confront cities and regions that host national and continental logistics gateways. The framework, which is illustrated with examples from several seaport gateways, focuses on the land use, economic and community development impacts of gateways and corridors on the host city-region. It also pays attention to the differing scales at which these impacts occur; these range from the highly localized to the metropolitan scale. It is proposed that solutions to the local dilemmas of global logistics be evaluated in terms of sustainability criteria, namely efficiency, equity and environment. 1. INTRODUCTION While the economic benefits of global trade are enormous, the potential for differences in local and national perspectives when developing gateways and corridors are no less significant. Global logistics which connects widely dispersed producers and consumers are increasingly organized through gateways...

...January 19, 2016 From Joe Brettnacher School Closures I would like to reiterate the procedures for school closures for those schools within the Columbus City School District. Once a decision to close schools has been made, school administrators will receive a text message informing them of the closure. Following the text message, the information communicating the closure for “Columbus Catholic Schools” will be available on local TV and radio stations. The decision to close schools will always be in the best interest of the safety of our students and staff. Please note that if Columbus Schools are closed unrelated to weather and our schools are open, busses will operate under the normal schedule for transporting our students to their...

...Wilma Mankiller was born November 18, 1945 in Oklahoma but later relocated due to the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ Indian Relocation Program of the 1950’s. Because the relocation program failed to keep promises it made to Native Americans, Wilma became an activist fighting for the rights of Native Americans (Wallis). Wilma Mankiller was the first female elected Deputy Chief and later became the first female in modern history to lead a major Native American tribe by becoming the first Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma in 1987. With an enrolled population of over 140,000 members and an annual budget of more than $75 million, her accomplishment is equal to that of a chief executive office of a major corporation (Yannuzzie). Her areas of expertise include community development, public relations, tribal governance, leadership and writing. During her time in office, Wilma faced many challenges and turned them into accomplishments. She bettered the lives of her people by building health clinics, bringing water and electricity to poor communities, and supporting small businesses. These things meant a great deal too many people, but Wilma also tackled big issues like the male-domination of the Cherokee Nation, which went against traditional Cherokee values (Mankiller and Steinem). She also spoke out against Native American stereotypes and worked to make the mainstream image of Native Americans one of regular people with the same wants and needs as everyone else. And...

...CADBURY CRISIS MANAGEMENT On October 2003, just a month before Diwali, the Food and Drug Administration Commissioner received complaints about infestation in two bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk, Cadbury India’s flagship brand with over 70% market share. He ordered an enquiry and went directly to the media with a statement. Over the following 3-week period, resultant adverse media coverage touched close to 1000 clips in print and 120 on TV news channels. In India, where Cadbury is synonymous with chocolate, the company’s reputation and credibility was under intense scrutiny. Sales volumes came down drastically in the first 10 weeks, which was the festival season; retailer stocking and display dropped, employee morale – especially that of the sales team – was shaken. The challenge was to restore confidence in the key stakeholders (consumers, trade and employees, particularly the sales team) and build back credibility for the corporate brand through the same channels (the media) that had questioned it. In defense, Cadbury issued a statement that the infestation was not possible at the manufacturing stage and poor storage at the retailers was the most likely cause of the reported case of worms. But the FDA didn’t buy that. FDA commisioner, Uttam Khobragade told CNBC-TV18, “It was presumed that worms got into it at the storage level, but then what about the packing – packaging was not proper or airtight, either ways it’s a manufacturing defect with unhygienic conditions or improper packaging...

...When students chose a higher education school they typically like to see that their future campus will be a diverse one, because the benefits that come with that type of environment are tremendous for college students. There is an article that was published in The Philadelphia Inquirer about the specific views of students and how they feel about the role diversity plays on their individual campus experience and the overall impact diversity had on them throughout college. The diversity generates a better classroom discussion, students say. Jillian Smith, a Dickinson College sophomore, said her courses on urban issues were better served by the presence of students who grew up in the inner city. "You can read about something, but that doesn't mean you necessarily comprehend fully. Any time a [city] student shared a story, everyone in class understood more." (O'Neill, J. M., 2003) This is an excellent example of just how much impact diverse experience has on a person and not to mention, their...

The entire study and conclusions reached are based upon our present knowledge and information with respect to the status and demand characteristics of the subject project’s competitive lodging and meetings markets. As in all studies of this type, the estimated results are based upon competent and efficient management and presume no significant change in the competitive position of the lodging and meetings industries in the immediate area from that as set forth in this report. They are also based on our evaluation of the present economy of the region and do not take into account or make provision for the effect of any sharp rise or decline in economic conditions not presently foreseeable. To the extent that wages and other operating expenses may advance over the economic life of the subject project, we expect that prices of rooms and other services will be adjusted, at least to offset such advances. The terms of our engagement are such that we have no obligation to revise this report or the estimated annual operating results to reflect events...

...more difficult to acquire. These are not mere economic values of profitability; but values of integrity, of truth, and of plain and simple honesty. It is in this context that the three authors - Patrizia Porrini, Ph.D., Lorrin Hiris, D.P.S., and Gina Poncini, Ph.D. - wrote this book. They do not seek to expound on the voluminous literature available discussing why and how these corporate scandals happened. They seek to provide answers to how effective CEOs build an ethical culture within an organization by providing actual cases of ethical companies that had passed the test of time. This book review is divided into two parts. First is a summary of the critical concepts and assumptions of the book. The second part is a critical reflection piece that juxtaposes the book’s ethical concepts and assumptions with the ethical standards, insights and concepts that we have discussed in class.
