...FINDER I love the idea of using the Greek word for Finder as the main character’s name… maybe that could even work into the title? The headlines are talking. They say that there are only an estimated 6000 Followers left worldwide and about 10 percent of them may be found in North America. China claims to have wiped them out altogether, while India believes that they can be rehabilitated. Those headlines were from two days ago blaring through my Blue Tooth and YAHWEH alone knows how many of us are left. But after 80 - 100 years of persecution, since the Government’s war on the Followers, we’ve learned how to hide in plain sight. It takes a lot more money living in The Cities than in the communes where I was raised. But after they found our camp, about forty people strong, maybe 34 of us all told were BORNAGAINSAVED. The others were people we’d find on the road hungry, alone, broken; designated appointments from YAHWEH – well after they found our camp . . . well, I’ve been living in cities since then. They called us something else then, but the name has been lost. Now they just call us walking dead or religious trash. Either way it’s all the same. If they catch us, then it’s the Big Show: no ifs, ands, or but’s. Even on the news feeds, we’re “they,” or “suspects,” or “fanatics” and never our names. We’re the nameless ones. That’s how we can tell true Followers from the government plants they keep sending us. You can tell by the scars we carry. Many of us grow our hairs...

...Guy was cancelled [again] in 2002” (300). I agree with her completely that Family Guy attempts to pack in more gags per minute about sex, race, incest, celebrities, etc. than any other cartoon show. I don’t see this as a bad strategy though. Making fun of groups of people is not a good thing to do, but it’s all for comedic purposes. I believe that if people and American society can’t accept humor about ourselves then we will be overly sensitive when other countries criticize our ways. Family Guy also uses smart humor which can teach the ignorant (lacking in knowledge) viewers about pop culture and, “intelligently satirizes some aspects of American culture” (303). I would much rather watch shows by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy and American Dad) than I would other shows that are in the same category. For example, The...

...spend countless hours online, in the library and talking to others with similar ideas of their latest and greatest “get rich quick” scheme. If only they would put the same effort into actually learning keys to success and reading literature that is actually worth the time you put into it more people would end up living how they always dreamed. For many, that’s all being rich will ever be, a dream. But then there are those who see no other option; they read books, take classes and immerse themselves in knowledge to try and gain an upper hand but even out of these few there are even less that will actually succeed in actually fulfilling their dream of becoming rich. However, there is hope, but only if you put in the work. The book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki is a great place to start. It provides a solid foundation for those who wish to exit the “rat race” and start on the path to financial freedom. This book can be truly inspirational for someone who has had the dream of financial freedom but just didn’t know where to start or perhaps where to stop. It is thought that being rich is in the eyes of the beholder; but what does it truly mean to be rich?...

...Rich Dad, Poor Dad is the story of author Robert Kiyosaki's upbringing and his two fathers, one rich father (not biological) and one poor father (biological). He was forced to choose between following in the footsteps of his poor father – a highly educated government worker – or his rich father – an entrepreneur who never graduated high school. In the end he decided to learn from his rich dad.The book focuses mostly on the education and financial advice Kiyosaki learned from his rich dad. His rich father was able to create a multi-million dollar empire from virtually nothing, using his financial knowledge and the power of his imagination. The book gives basic lessons which combine the teachings of Kiyosaki's rich dad with experiences from his own life.One of which is the importance of improving your financial IQ and financial literacy,(skills the author believes is absent from the current education system). The book also shows how the rich don't work for money, they make money work for them. They acquire assets rather than liabilities. The author emphasises the importance of being able to differentiate between an asset and a liability. He states that in order to be truly wealthy, your asset must be large enough to offset your living expenses. He explained about the misconception of a high income meaning wealth, but in reality a strong asset column is what is needed. Higher incomes often lead to higher expenses, higher taxes, and more debt. The author (Kiyosaki) eliminates...

...television. It varies, because in the weekends I watch a lot more TV, than what I do in the weekdays. But in average I watch about 1 hour TV a week. My favorite program is American DadTM. It’s an American animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman for the Fox Broadcasting Company. I find it entertaining because of its ability to break people limits. It has, all though, been criticized by Parents Television Council (US) They have the opinion that the program is featuring suggestive dialogue, offensive language, moderate to strong sexual content, and graphic violence. But, as I mentioned earlier, that’s what I like about the program. American dad is of course not the only program I watch. Another program if find very interesting is TirsdagsanalysenTM which I watch with my dad every Tuesday. I like to be nuanced in my politician views, and therefore I think it’s a good property, that the program has both a leftist man and a rightist man to comment on the features the host brings up to debate. Watching TV can be both entertaining and damaging. Many teenagers spend their spare time watching a lot of reality programs. In my opinion that’s of course okay, but when you get addicted to a reality-program, and you watch it a lot, it may change the way you have social intercourse with other people. For an example, people who watch Big Brother may start to use the same expressions in their language, as the ones who are attending in the...

...that Kiyosaki used or experienced and he wants others to learn from. The first chapter Rich Dad Poor Dad is where Kiyosaki introduces his two fathers. He says, “one was highly educated and intelligent;… [and the other] never finished the eighth grade.” Both his fathers were strong and influential, and both were successful in their careers; but one struggled financially all his life and the other became one of the richest men in Hawaii. Kiyosaki was glad to have two fathers to learn from learned from. He was able to see the point of view of both the poor and the rich. Even though the time he started learning from them when he was nine years-old the rich dad was not yet rich and the poor dad not yet poor. At the age of nine Kiyosaki started listening to his rich dad. Rich dad taught six main lessons. The second chapter was the first lesson, The Rich Don’t Work for Money. Kiyosaki asked both dads if they could teach him how to get rich. Poor dad, Kiyosaki’s dad, responded that you need to make money. When asked how, he responded to use your head. Mike, Kiyosaki’s best friend and first business partner, remembered an experiment from a science book, and they started casting nickels out of lead, making their own money. At this time poor dad told them what the word counterfeiting meant and that that was illegal. Not wanting the boys to give up poor dad directed them to ask Mike’s dad,...

...Here are several personalities that had been instrumental to my seeking financial stability and success. Eugenio Isabelo Tomas Reyes Sanchez Jr. or widely known as Bo Sanchez is an author, entrepreneur, preacher, celebrity and lay evangelist in the Philippines. Bo Sanchez was only 12 years old when he attended his first prayer meeting. He gave his first talk a few weeks after that – in the midst of mostly family members. The elder who asked him to give the talk had received a prophecy that Bo will preach to thousands. That has come to pass. Bo has also become a national bestselling author and winner of The Ten Oustanding Young Men (TOYM) for 2006. In 2007, he received the Serviam Award, the highest award of the Catholic Mass Media Awards, as well as the Golden Gavel Award by the Toastmasters International, the highest award given to non-Toastmasters for public speaking. On the other hand, Bo founded the Light of Jesus (LOJ) Family in 1980, and continues to provide direction and leadership to LOJ, envisioning 1000 Feasts all over the world. (The Feast is how the LOJ prayer meetings are called.) The Light of Jesus Family has helped Bo start various independent ministries, beneficiaries of Kerygma Conference.

...Leanne Westphal Humanities 70 Contemporary Television 2 April 2016 Offended Much? Sick, twisted and politically incorrect seems to be the special brew for the hit animated series Family Guy. In this essay the author writes about the balance between humorous and offensive and the fine line the writers walk to create humor. I like to think this animated show has found that balance for its viewers. Family Guy has been under fire by many groups of people over the years for its taste and indecency. Groups from the Parents Television Council to the Venezuelan Government have filed complaints with the FCC regarding the content of episodes and also have banned the series completely from airing in their country. This series has many groups of people up in arms for the way it has carried its motto of “The show is an equal-opportunity offender” (Sarah Palin vs. Family Guy: Seth MacFarlane Responds (sort Of).Web. 02 Apr. 2016.). I have watched this show numerous times but I would not call myself a dedicated viewer. I find the show to be humorous and tune in to get a laugh when needed. It’s an animated series that I would never take serious nor would it ever offend me. It’s a TV show plain and simple. There are far more issues in this world to take on that would be far more productive for these groups other than trying to bring down a show that parents can change the channel to. The ability of the writers to bring humor into life situations I feel is amazing. When did we stop...

...Noah Zerance Dr. Leinberger Chapter 4 Summary Chapter 4 of Rich Dad Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki, continues to reinforce the idea that the rich and the poor think differently. In chapter four, titled “The History of Taxes and the Power of Corporations,” Mr. Kiyosaki discusses the power of the corporation, and how the rich have learned to use the corporation to hide their money. Through a variety of charts he shows how the cash flows through business versus how cash flows through the poor and middle class. Corporations spend their money and then pay taxes on what is left, where the poor pay taxes and they what is left they spend on other things. Robert continues to drill the idea of developing your financial IQ in order to break the rat race and escape the machine that sucks you into the work force. He says being ignorant gets you bullied, and if you were to learn you may stand a chance. Robert actually wrote an entire book on raising your financial IQ, although I think you would be better off going through a professional educator, he makes several good points in the book. One point that I like from this chapter, and actually is driven home by this current election campaign, is the idea that the more you tax the rich, the less willing they will be to create jobs. For the 2012 election, you have one candidate that wants to bring down taxes on the rich so they create more jobs, and in turn, return more money to the government in taxes. The other candidate wants to increase...

...For years Vic has been able to keep “Vic the Tricky Work Guy” separate from “Vic the Honest Family Guy” but the distinction is eroding. Vic is at a crossroads, for he recognizes that his workplace behaviors, choices and ethics are beginning to influence “Vic the Honest Family Guy.” Worse yet, Vic is becoming satisfied with the person he is at work. This paper will explore the consequences this eroding distinction has on Vic’s professional prospects and in his personal life. It will also examine several of the consequences organizations face as a result of a corporate culture that does not value candor. For over four years, “Vic the Tricky Work Guy” work persona has served Vic very well professionally. Greenline management considers him a high performer with high potential. He has been given a great deal of latitude and his peers and employees generally seem to respect him. While Vic recognizes that he is compromising his personal values at work, he is convinced it is necessary for him to get ahead. He does not recognize or acknowledge the impact that compromising his personal values will have on his professional reputation and career growth over the long term. At work, Vic is beginning to shift focus away from fulfilling his core job responsibilities to making himself look good. As in the case of fabricating an excuse about his daughter to get out of a trip to Houston, Vic is going to rather extreme lengths to shun his responsibilities. Eventually, the excuses...
