...questions. 1) Would a traditional income statement differ depending on whether the business is a service organization, merchandiser, or manufacturer? 2) Could we use managerial accounting tools to assess the profitability of an organization other than a manufacturing business, or are the topics that we are learning only related to manufacturing? 3) If we could use these concepts in service and/or merchandising businesses, how would we go about doing so? Let's start with the first question. According to Casteele (2013), income statements are important to most business. It allows owners, managers, and shareholders to see how money is flowing into the company. This article also stated that service and manufacturing companies have several differences between their statements since the businesses have different types of expenses and different income sources. The article further explains, businesses adapt their income statements to their needs based upon the industry the business is in. A business in the service industry could not use the same income statement template as manufacturing industry businesses, because of the significant differences in how the businesses operate and earn money.

...Muholi, provides the viewer her own personal take on her queer community; specifically, the black lesbian community, and their oppressed status in her home country of South Africa. A country struggling to move forward from their colonial past and embrace their post-apartheid vision of collectiveness and unity. Her passion as an activist photographer serves to record a history of a community and its undermined existence and to provide a heightened awareness of the violent acts surrounding that community. Her black and white, portrait style images are a mainstream medium that present her subjects in a neutral manner. Activist photography, a subcategory of documentary photography, often pushes the lines of presenting a point of view or cause and ‘othering’. I first became interested in activist photography when we studied Shelby Adams. I believe his activist intents are clouded, maybe even completely discounted, by his personal motivations as an artist and the cultural stereo-types documented in his subject matter of the Appalachian people he claims to be a member of. Adams stated in his book, Appalachian Legacy, that his “Photographs do not constitute a documentary overview…but represent a personal, subjective view of the spirit of the people” (Adams 18). Adams also relays how his father, a doctor, would visit the members of the isolated communities in the region and “Although my father had prejudiced views, I came to know those people” (Cummins 3). Again, Adams demonstrates his...

...Personal Educational Philosophy Statement Deborah Castel University of West Florida Personal Educational Philosophy Statement People have many different views and ideas of what they see the purpose of education is and forming a philosophy of education is not as simple as it might sound. The purpose of education is to teach and expose students to knowledge. Developing a personal philosophy of education is important because it guides your instructional decisions and can provide stability, continuity, and long term guidance as a professional. There is not just one statement that defines the purpose of education and it isn't limited to just what one thinks. It is my belief that the purpose of education is not merely to teach students what our school districts what us to teach so they can pass these state and federal tests, but to ignite the minds of every child to be creative and analytical thinkers; to assist students in developing critical thinking skills and the value of reasoning for themselves; to develop a student's desire and ability to think and learn about the world around them; to teach and guide them in learning how to develop successful relationships that will enable them to work with their peers not only throughout their school years, but in life itself. The majority of learning does not really begin within the classroom, when a child enters school for the very first time. Many of life’s most important lessons are learned from our family members, from the communities...

...eing a human entails being kind to all living creatures whether that means humans or animals. Being a part of humanity means to be a part of the tragedies that come along with it. Every day there is some sort of catastrophic event that occurs such as, school shootings, bombings, murders, rapes, and so many other dreadful things. These calamitous occurrences are becoming a part of our daily routine. We may stop to read the newspaper or watch that news segment for a few moments to learn what happened, but we do not take the time to empathize what happened to that person or an entire country. As Bloom had stated, “But empathy will have to yield to reasons if humanity is to have a future” (Bloom), this statement has to muster up some sort of emotion...

...question items. These discrepancies suggest that the use of code-switching in EFL classroom should be adapting to the practical teaching. Keywords: Code-switching, Attitude, Investigation, EFL class 1. Introduction In many cases, code-switching is commonly viewed with suspicion in EFL classes. Teachers and researchers in English as a second or foreign language have, on the whole, been concerned to minimize code-switching in the classroom, taking it that the switches either indicate a failure to learn the target language or an unwillingness to do so. Willis (1981), for instance, suggests that “if the students start speaking in their own language without your permission… it generally means that something is wrong with the lesson” (p. xiv). Cummins and Swain (1986) similarly argue...

...Pragyaditya Mukerjee Prof Cirone Paul Rand Information 5/19/2014 Paul Rand Paul Rand: A Brief Biography PAUL RAND (BORN PERETZ ROSENBAUM, AUGUST 15, 1914 – NOVEMBER 26, 1996) was a well-known American graphic designer, best known for his corporate logo designs. Rand was educated at the Pratt Institute (1929-1932), the Parsons School of Design (1932-1933), and the Art Students League (1933-1934). He was one of the originators of the Swiss Style of graphic design. From 1956 to 1969, and beginning again in 1974, Rand taught design at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Rand was inducted into the New York Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in 1972. He designed many posters and corporate identities, including the logos for IBM, UPS and ABC. Rand died of cancer in 1996. Early life and education Peretz Rosenbaum was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1914. As Orthodox Jewish law forbids the creation of graven images that can be worshiped as idols, Rand’s career creating icons venerated in the temple of global capitalism seemed as unlikely as any. It was one that he embraced at a very young age, painting signs for his father’s grocery store as well as for school events at P.S. 109. Rand’s father did not believe art could provide his son with a sufficient livelihood, and so he required Paul to attend Manhattan’s Harren High School while taking night classes at the Pratt Institute, though “neither of these schools offered Rand much stimulation.” Despite studying at Pratt and other...

It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. Nowadays the impact of the climate change can be seen around the globe - seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are rising. And meanwhile, our planet must still supply us – and all living things – with air, water, food and safe places to live. Weather related consequences, caused by climate change, present challenges that threaten the understanding of extreme weather and natural disaster related damages. Many natural disasters (like floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions) all around the world have showed that people are now exposed to extreme weather events. The lack of financial preparation to face...

...MISSION STATEMENTS OF SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FIRMS: A CONTENT ANALYSIS Refika BAKO LU Marmara University, Turkey Bige A KUN Marmara University, Turkey ABSTRACT A well-designed mission statement is essential for formulating, implementing and evaluating business strategy. However the role of the mission statement in the strategic management of business firms has not been sufficiently highlighted in the research literature. The importance of mission statements to the effective strategic management of business organizations is well documented in the literature but it is quite surprising that minimal attention has been paid to the role of mission statements of socially responsible organizations. This paper attempts to fill this gap in the literature. It focuses on the socially responsible firms, which are listed in the Business Ethics' 100 Best Corporate Citizens Index, by selecting the firms whose mission statements could be seen clearly from their corporate websites. The mission statements are then analyzed to determine their components and the differences between the firms. Keywords: Mission Statement, social responsibility, content analysis It becomes apparent when appraising the some definitions of the mission concept is regarded as multidimensional concept by virtually all authors. Further, variations in conceptualization and the specific words used notwithstanding, it is possible to identify common elements that underlie most definitions of the concept. In contemporary...
