Although both of them are crowed and expensive such as housing market, rental a house, apartment, medical, schools's fees. However, these are their similarities. The three mains different between CA state and NY state are their lands, weather, and housing building icons. CA state is big, that is as large as a country like Vietnam' land. CA state's land has 164, 696 m2; in contrast, NY state's land has 55,556m2. Even though both of CA and NY state have four seasons in a year but CA state's weather isn't cold at all in the winter.

...organization cannot overlook. This paper will define a product-harm crisis, identify the factors that contribute to a product-harm crisis, and compare and contrast the finding. Define a product-harm crisis A product-harm crisis entails a publicized event in which a particular product line found to be defective or even dangerous (Heerde, Helsen, & Dekimpe, 2007).

...I would start off by say that persuasive and compare and contrasts essays have always been difficult for me. I never know how and where to begin with them. In high school we discussed them in a lecture but never had to actually do one. I had written very few essays and I don’t think I do very well on them. Then with my first experience in college I had to write my first compare and contrast essay and honestly I didn’t too well on it. I also have a lot of problems with grammar mistakes that the grammar and spell check do not catch. Also the little activity in chapter 7.2 kind of helped me out a little bit with pointing out certain things in an essay. However, with my essay I will most likely focus on structure and supporting ideas and point of view. I feel like I can develop a pretty good compare and contrast essay if it have a good structure. I will first begin by telling what I read and how it made me feel when I read it. Then I will probably state my opinion on what I think the author is trying to get to his or her audience. I will also try t build up points on why I think author is right or wrong and why I agree and disagree. On the author points that I picked out I will try to support my ideas on everything that I say. I will try to be as close and accurate as I can get. I think having a good and strong point of view makes an essay really good too. It is also important because reading an essay without a point is like watching a movie that is completely pointless and stupid...

...Rene Descartes Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Value Theory Asma Naheed Introduction to Philosophy Mr. Ferguson 13 May 2016 Rene Descartes (1596-1650) was a very important philosopher in the 17th century. Many regard to Descartes as the father of modern philosopher. His famous statement "Cogito ero sum" is widely known and studied. He contributed much to mathematics as well as philosophy. What does my philosopher believe is real? One thing my philosopher believes is real is the certainty of the existence of god. René Descartes has an awareness about god. And acknowledges the existence of god. One of Descartes metaphysics is his certainty about god which is examined in his Fifth Mediations “Descartes holds that the idea of God is a true and immutable nature and hence it is not something that can be rejected at all in so far as it is ultimately an innate idea”. His view is similar like mine regarding the belief of god. Though his process for believing in god is quite different then of mine, we both have a strong belief in god. My View on Rene Descartes metaphysics regarding the existence of god is disagreement. Descartes argues that god exists beyond any doubt, but I disagree. My view is not like his because, I believe his proof of good relies mostly on false premises. Descartes argues that god exists but what is the actuality of god he does not answer. An example of this can be illustrated by a student doubting whether or not they will make a good grade on the...

As it relates to Personnel Evaluation, there are certain performance evaluation process supported by supervisors and employees there are important components of any merit system to consider. Hence, the merit principle requires that public employees on all levels be covered by the evaluation processes that are valid and have results that may confidently and legitimately be used as the basis for a variety of personnel actions (Nigro, Nigro, & Kellough, (2007) p. 192). Compare and contrast three (3) state agencies’ personnel evaluation systems. In comparing and contrasting the three state agencies, I have chosen New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware, as it applies to education standards. Therefore, we shall look at the following, for all three states consider items (a-d) that I have outlined below: a.

...Compare and Contrast of Select Leadership Models Leadership comes in different forms and in different aspects of life from private business to government entities (Wren, 1995, p. 5). The models of leadership used are dependent upon the individual attributes of the leaders, for example traits, values, self-identity, skills, and competencies (Yukl, 2013, p. 136). A close look at select leadership models and how they compare and contrast with each other provides insight into the types of leadership that might be employed within organizations as they face various leadership issues and challenges. In this paper, we will review four leadership models: charismatic, servant, situational, and transformational. A separate discussion describing similarities and differences between the models as they apply. As similarities and differences are identified, we will discuss how contemporary leadership issues and challenges are addressed within the scope of each leadership model. Leadership Models Charismatic Leadership A charismatic leader has three key dimensions that Weber (1968) identified as concepts of charisma that include vision or mission, extraordinary or exceptional qualities, and recognition (as cited in Avolio and Yammarino, 2013, p. 167). Transformational leadership closely resembles charismatic leadership as both are vision related and empowering; however the main difference deals with the expectations set by the leader. Charismatic leaders typically set unrealistic expectations...

...Running head: CONDUCTING A FOCUS GROUP Conducting a Focus Group of XXX Educational Program Graduates By Outstanding DHA Student Medical University of South Carolina PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to describe the planning and design of a focus group for recent graduates of the XXX Program at YYY State University in Northridge (UN). The mission of the XXX program is to produce graduates that can function effectively in staff, front-line management and middle management positions for a variety of health care sectors. Insufficient data exists to determine qualitatively if we have fulfilled our mission. This qualitative research is intended to answer the following question: “How well did the UN XXX Program prepare you for the current position you hold in your organization?” Although this project is intended to serve as a form of self-contained research, it is conceivable that the results of this project may lead to the creation of additional sources of data such as employer focus groups or survey instruments for additional insight. PLANNING Morgan (1997) emphasizes that three factors must be taken into consideration prior to planning for a focus group; ethical concerns, budgetary issues and time constraints. Although personal work experiences will be shared by the intended participants, there is no intent to ask questions of a personal demographic nature such, as home address...

...Abstract This paper will compare and contrast trait and situational approach leadership theories, the development of the theories and how effective each are in organizations. This paper will compare each approach, some of their research history and the challenges they faced in the past and the challenges they may or may not face in the future. The trait approach is the oldest theory that have been researched by numerous researchers. The situational approach consist of two elements that focus on leadership style and the development of subordinates. The strengths and weakness of each approach will also be compared and constrast. Contrast and Comparison: An examination of Trait and Situational Leadership Approaches There are over 200 definitions for leadership that have used since the 1900’s. The ability to impress the will of the leader, acts by persons which influence other persons in a shared direction, and do as the leader wishes are a few definitions that were used during the 1900’s (Northouse, 2013). Today, leadership is defined as a process that involves individuals or groups to reach a common goal (Northouse, 2013,). It’s motivating and persuading people to obtain a desired result through communication and influence. Leadership is also defined as a process that happens between a leader and a follower (Northouse, 2013). During the 20th century, researchers belived that there were natural born leaders who were born with the “trait” to lead. They believed...

Difference between associative and observational based learning. | * Associative learning: our mind naturally links two events that occur in sequence. * Classical and Operant Conditioning | * Observational learning: we learn from viewing others’ experience. * Modeling: the process of observing and imitating a behavior. | Differences:Classical: organism associates different stimuli they do not control and respond to those automatically.Operant: organism associates own behaviors with the consequences of those behaviors.“Most of the significant responses we make in everyday life are examples of operant behaviors, such as reading, writing, driving a car, and eating with utensils. Operant conditioning involves a type of learning in which behaviors are influenced mainly by the consequences that follow them”Similarities:Associative learningInvolve acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, & discriminationInfluenced by cognitive and biological dispositions. | “Albert Bandura developed social learning theory, which combined classical and operant conditioning with observational learning”. Bandura point out: * We imitate because of rewards and punishments received by the model and the imitator. * We learn to anticipate...

...Chemistry and Society Paper Johnathan Sutton CHM/110 15 May 2012 Jennifer Cruz Chemistry and Society Paper “In the field of science accuracy is the form of measurement that calculates the degree of closeness of a quality to its true value. Precision is a unit of measurement that is also referred as the ability to reproduce the same results multiple times” (Taylor, 1997). The differences are within the definitions, it all depends on what you are looking for within the results of a test for the proper use of these two units of measurements. Society depends on the accuracy and precision of measurements for products sold by the retail industry, such as a gallon of gasoline, a bushel of corn, or a liter of bottled water. These measurements have to be precise and accurate when it this relates to how farmers sell their products such as wheat, corn, milk, peanuts, and cotton, by weight and or in a bulk sale. Like food products gasoline, water, oil, and several other liquid goods are sold in quantity and if the measurements are not accurately sold per gallon then the United States government will not retain a profit from the barrel of gasoline, water, oil, and several other liquid goods that are purchased from other countries. I would have to say that this really is about supply and demand and the ability to generate a profit from the accuracy and precision of the weight and how much to sell an item for in most situations. Other ways society...
