...Communicating and Collaborating Effectively This paper focuses on effective communication and collaboration methods for people with Visual, Kinesthetic, and Auditory learning styles and with NF, SF, and ST personality types from the Myers-Briggs model. Learning Styles Kinesthetic learners are those who learn through experiencing/doing things that help them learn better. We do better when we include hands-on communication and collaboration activities, such as building models, drawing diagrams, writing on a flipchart or white-board, working with visual aids, and taking notes. Auditory get better grades learners learn best through hearing, have strong language skills, a well-developed vocabulary, and follow spoken directions well. Oral presentations are crucial for understanding a subject and written text is hard to follow, but auditory learners can remember lectures and speeches. Personality Types Three of the four personality types from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) model include NF, SF, and ST along with effective methods for communicating and collaborating effectively within a team. Intuitive Feeling (NF) ' To communicate effectively with NF personality types, team members should focus on the big picture and not spend too much time on specific details, especially if the context is not clear. Team members should be willing to discuss values, details, relationships, ideas, and impacts on people. NFs understand that their ideas and contributions are valued...

...Christopher Villarreal COLL148 Professor Van Liew Course Project Proposal My Plan for Achieving Personal Success in the Footsteps of my Role Model, Mark Zuckerberg As I learn more about my field, I have learned to admire the work of Mark Zuckerberg in the field of computer programming. Although there may be some controversy around the ownership and design in his most famous project, Facebook, it took a variety of great ideas and business savvy to make an idea into reality. One of the main reasons I chose Mark Zuckerberg is because he took an existing idea and decided to make it a global enterprise. Some answers I will be looking for while researching for my course project include what type of mainframe Facebook utilizes, the system security Facebook implements, and how they plan for future growth within their network. Additionally, I’ve compiled a list of questions more in line with Mark Zuckerbergs journey to where he is now. 1. What kind of life did Mark Zuckerberg have? 2. What made him so confident in his journey to becoming the owner of Facebook? 3. How did he do it? 4. Where did he start? 5. How did he succeed? 6. What were his biggest fears? 7. Did he ever feel overwhelmed or like he wasn’t going to succeed? A quick summary of what I have found is that Mark got started into computer programming at the early of twelve. He had networked all of his home computers so that a family member could log into a computer remotely and...

...Collegiate Promotions Dr. Jama Rand HRM 530 December 11, 2011 1. Evaluate whether or not the compensation system at Collegiate Promotions is effective. The compensation system at Collegiate Promotion is effective for the following reasons: The first reason that the compensation system is effective is because the system that they currently have at hand only rewards the employee if he/she sells an item. It’s stated that the individual can raise the price of the wholesale product to 30-50% above wholesale price. The compensation package that Collegiate Promotions have could be seen as being an at-risk program. The second reason that the compensation system is effective is that the type of reward system fluctuates, and can even result in an employee not receiving any compensation if he/she does not sell any products for the week. If the employee becomes sick, the company doesn’t have any programs that will pay the employee for their sick time. The company doesn’t also have any type of paid vacation, a company that offer incentives based only on sales, gives their employees nothing to look for in the long run Compensation practices are strategic when they encourage employees to put forth their best effort and perform in ways that help the company produce its particular goods and services. The company should introduce a system that have a short and long term incentive for an employees’ performance. This will ensure that the customer stay motivated to continue sealing sales...

...Everyman and The Second Shepherds' Play Everyman and The Second Shepherds' Play remind the audience that good deeds are necessary for redemption, however, they reinforce the idea that we must shun material concerns to be redeemed. Both plays seek to reinforce these aspects of redemption to insure that all may be redeemed. The world is imperfect, and the only way we can make ourselves perfect and worthy of redemption is by not worrying about our material well being and performing good deeds. It is by disregarding our material concerns that allow us to perform good deeds. Everyman places his faith in material things, his friends, relatives and goods. These material things do him no good. Fellowship claims he "will not forsake thee to my life's end" (Everyman 213), yet when Everyman asks Fellowship to accompany him on his journey for redemption and ultimately death he "will not go that loath journey- / Not for the father that begat me!" (Everyman 268-269). By placing his faith in man rather than God, he does not receive "any more comfort" (Everyman 304). The same discouragement greets Everyman after his talks with Cousin and Kindred. Kindred claims that they "will live and die togither" (Everyman 324), but abandons him soon after making this statement. After Kindred and Cousin leave him, Everyman realizes that "fair promises men to me make, / but when I have most need they me forsake" (Everyman 370-371). Since man will not help him, he turns to goods. Everyman realizes...

...Hospitality Management Competencies: do faculty and students concur on employability skills? Adeniyi, Adeolu Shola GTB Lagos, Nigeria adeolu.adeniyi@mail.com Abstract This paper is one in a series of establishing what competencies the various stakeholders (students, faculty and industry mentors) think are the ideal competencies needed by employees in the hospitality field in places such as hotels, food service providers, restaurants and lodges, compared to those actually displayed by hospitality management students. This particular paper reports on a comparison drawn between what the faculty and students believe are the ideal competencies compared to those that they actually have on completion of their academic studies, prior to the students engaging in their semester of work-integrated learning (WIL). The results would be used by faculty to focus on ensuring students are aware of the employability and management competencies they need in order to conduct themselves in the business world of hospitality with confidence and competently.

...RESEARCH QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE OSTACLES FACING THE GALAPAGOS CONSERVANCY? What are the obstacles facing the Galapagos Conservancy? "Ninety-five percent of the reptiles, 50% of the birds, 42% of the land plants, 70% to 80% of the insects and 17% of the fish live nowhere else in the world" according to Michael D. Lemonick and Andrea Dorfman in their article “Can the Galapagos Survive” (Lemonick and Dorfman). The Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean are in danger. Excessive tourism, the growing encroachment of invasive species introduced by immigrants and the overfishing of the surrounding waters are taking a toll on the biodiversity of the islands. These are three major obstacles which face the Galapagos Conservancy in their efforts to preserve the Galapagos Islands. One of the threats to the biodiversity on the Galapagos Islands is the rising number of visitors. Tourism numbers are "growing 8% a year" claims Lemonick and Dorfman (Lemonick and Dorfman). While this tourism brings the anticipated turnover for the government, the quantity of tourists may be damaging the Galapagos Islands. To accomodate the staggering number of tourists more hotels are being built, public transportation is increasing and the waste and pollution levels are growing. According to Michael Buckley in his article, "Islands of Wonder and Shame", "Tourism is a two-edged sword: it brings in much-needed revenue to the tune of $75 million a year, but excessive tourism simply won't work in a natural...

...million) (Mail & Guardian, 2008), it is expected that university graduates should be able to find employment but there are many who do not (Ntuli, 2007). The labour market oscillates between the skills shortage on one hand and the number of graduates who are without work on the other. It seems paradoxical that a country with a high unemployment rate, has graduates without work, and that professionals need to be imported or lured to the country. This situation may arise from the fact that students lack employability skills. Behavioural (soft) skills such as those gained through curricula that embed critical outcomes such as analytical skills, teamwork, organize and manage oneself, usually deliver more competent and employable graduates (Coll & Zegwaard, 2006). Employers have indicated that students are often not prepared for the workplace and call on universities to produce more employable graduates (Barrie, 2006; Kember & Leung, 2005) by providing transferable skills that can be taken into the workplace (Smith, Clegg, Lawrence & Todd, 2007). Students’ subject matter knowledge is usually satisfactory (Crebert, Bates, Bell, Patrick & Cragnolini, 2004; Hind, Moss & McKellan, 2007) but by improving and developing their competencies such as interpersonal skills, teamwork, communication and problem solving skills, value will be added to their intellectual capabilities making them more employable (Hind et al., 2007; Maher & Graves, 2007). Employers are expecting graduates...

...Instructor Quesenbury English 1301 - 002 03 December 2014 Research Paper Today's schools have to focus on so much more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. Although school officials strive to protect the student and faculty from gun violence, it's a reality in today's world. Truly something is seriously wrong because school buildings should be a safe place for all. Study after study conducted on the who's and why's of school gun violence reveals an important fact: There is no reasonable answer for such violence to have taken such a rise in incidence and continue to be the prevailing societal threat it is today, in every school across the nation, especially large school communities. The whole community needs to act together and get involved. The statistics are threatening enough. The U.S. Department of Education estimated 5.5 million students were enrolled in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 in the 2006-07 school year. Among this population, during this single year, there were 767,000 violent assaults and 35 (27 homicides and 8 suicides) school associated violent deaths (Dinkes, pars. 5, 6, 10). From the broader period, years 1999 to 2006, reported 116 students killed in 109 school associated incidents (Shuster, par. 2). Although national attention to school shootings has heightened in recent years, a violent incident in a school setting was first recorded in 1955. In a Swathermore College dorm in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania on January 11, Bob Bechtel, age 22...

...After the recent disaster of Hurricane Katrina, there have been many opportunities to examine the multiple sides of the story. Many of these sides have been released to the public, but told with conflicting viewpoints. The most common conflict brought up again and again is between FEMA and the relief victims. Relief victims and FEMA argue over humanitarian aid issues such as evacuation, supplies, and housing. Evacuation was the most important humanitarian effort that FEMA could provide. Getting residents out of the disaster area was the primary goal of FEMA. Evacuation by bus was the initial form of evacuation. The bus evacuation plan that FEMA provided allowed the whole city to evacuate in a reasonable amount of time. Then evacuation by plane was added as another way for FEMA to get relief victims out of the city in large numbers. The plane evacuation was very efficient once it got under way. The conditions at the airport allowed only outbound aircraft. The last form of humanitarian aid shown through evacuation was the creation of emergency shelters. FEMA, in conjunction with surrounding states, had set up shelters where the evacuees could go. Then states further away volunteered to house evacuees. The shelters provided a place for evacuees to stay after the hurricane and provided time for them to look for more permanent housing. FEMA provided basic humanitarian aid by evacuating Katrina survivors. Supplies were a form of humanitarian aid that FEMA provided. The most basic...
