...vocabulary and concepts which may be unfamiliar to you. The most effective way of coping with the volume of reading and of understanding and remembering what you read is by adopting active reading strategies. These strategies involve reading selectively, thinking about what you read and making informed choices in the use of reference sources. ACTIVE READING STRATEGIES In order to increase your reading speed, comprehension and retention you can adopt the following active reading strategies: • Read with a purpose in mind • Adjust your reading speed to suit the purpose • Preview the text before close reading • Look for main ideas in each paragraph • Use prior knowledge to understand new concepts • Study new words in context • Choose suitable dictionary sources READ WITH A PURPOSE It is not always necessary to read closely everything in the textbook or other assigned reading when you are completing an assignment. Close reading of academic texts is a slow, time-consuming activity so you need to be selective and read closely only the sections which are relevant to your task.

...Socialism in crisis I believe that the best economic system to be used in a crisis such as hurricane, tornado, flood, or any other natural disaster is the socialism system. According to www. merriam-webster. com, socialism is “a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). Socialism allows for the funds and help of one organization to be able to work towards one set goal. Socialist societies are based on the human needs of the people and since they are controlled by the government, they are the ones responsible for distributing the goods and services, which in turn allows for everyone in need to be assisted. It also allows the people who work there to be more focused on helping the people in need because the government takes care of paying them. This means that they don’t have to worry about who will be paying them for their help, and instead can focus mainly on helping the people that are in need of their full attention. Being from Oklahoma, we are right in the middle of tornado alley. In fact, just recently in May of 2013, Moore, Oklahoma was hit with an EF5 tornado. The aftermath left a devastating toll not only on Moore, but its surrounding cities. People from all over Oklahoma had joined in helping the cleanup and rebuilding of the city. Organizations such as American Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity reached out to the citizens, which...

...Societal Corruption in “The Lottery” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” Societal corruption is found in both “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor. As illustrated in both short stories, societal corruption can take place in different forms. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary has one meaning for the word “corruption”: “impairment of integrity, virtue or moral principle”. In the “Lottery” capitalist society stands out as a form of societal corruption. In “A Good Man is Hard to Find” the simple ways and acts of the grandmother alone relative to her religious practices stands out as social corruption. “The Lottery”, is a horrific story that exposes the social order and system of a capitalistic society. Again, from Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the ideal capitalistic society is “an economic system based upon the concentration of wealth, and the competitive distribution of production and business to privately owned powerful representatives.” This form of an ideal society is what the author based the small village on in “The Lottery”. In “The Lottery” the lottery itself, serves as a democratic misconception for a capitalistic society. It deceives the people of the village, into believing it is democratic, because of the fact that everyone participates in the lottery and knows they have an equal chance at being selected. The village’s ruling class only participates to convince others that they are equal to everyone else, even...

...told me, ‘Always aim to be the best, because then you will be the best’. This analogy was all I thought about while trying new things and keeping me motivated to keep doing it. Malcolm X’s motivation came from his desire to to learn. In “Homemade Education”, Malcolm X addresses his educational development through his “prison studies” (68). By simply getting a hold of a dictionary, he accomplished his goals of improving his penmanship, vocabulary and his education overall. He values education as he states before he not only “wasn't articulate” but also not “functional” (68). Malcolm X’s strategy to learn consisted of a dictionary; which he described it as a “miniature encyclopedia” (68). Malcolm X viewed education as a cure to humans, like “intellectual vitamins”(68). Education is a set of skills that one may learn through different resources, but the most important thing is having the motivation to learn and improve your own self. Malcolm X is the epitome of a motivational leader that used his limitations to his benefit of expanding his knowledge while in prison, with limited resources like a simple dictionary. Malcolm X had the motivation within himself and took those experiences and accomplishments to making a change and taking action upon things he cared about, which is something we must all think about in our life time, making a change. “I’ve never been one for inaction” (67) these are the first words Malcolm X uses to begin his Homemade Education Essay, he describes his...

...2011 Cultural Diversity Issues in Criminal Justice CJA/344 Discrimination and Disparity Discrimination exists in today’s society whether it is acknowledged or not; it is becoming more common and more accepted every day. It is happening everywhere, schools, churches, government, and even within the criminal justice system. Often times, disparity is a product of discrimination or vice versa. The following essay will discuss discrimination and disparities that exist within the criminal justice system as well as a contrast and comparison of the two terms. The definition of disparity is the condition or fact of being unequal, as in age, rank, or degree; difference (free dictionary, 2009). Disparities can also exist in gender, income, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity. When relating to the criminal justice system, disparities exist in police departments, correctional facilities and in court procedures. In law enforcement, disparities are everywhere from hiring practices, promotional opportunities, and police response. For example, a 2009 article about racial bias in law enforcement stated that Blacks and whites engage in drug offenses at about the same rate. The article continued to say: “Since there are six-and-a-half times as many whites in this country, you would think there would be then proportionally six-and-a-half times as many whites being arrested on drug charges. But that’s not the case, because...

...home and his wife, Minnie Wright is the suspected murderer. The following morning, the County Attorney, the Sheriff Peters and his wife, and The Wright’s neighbor, Lewis Hale and his wife visit the house to look for evidence. The men tell the women to stay in the kitchen to keep out of the way. Little to the men know the answer to their questions is in the kitchen and Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale discover the clues and solve the crime. However, the two women decide not to tell the men in order to protect Minnie. The question that comes to mind is: “Was the decision made by Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale right? Was it just?” The answer to the question is that it was not right, nor was it just. Is there a difference? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word “just” as acting or being in conformity with what is morally upright and good. They also define the word “right” as being in accordance with what is just, good, or proper. The two definitions coincide with each other perfectly. Especially considering the fact that one of the two words is in the other’s definition. Therefore, there is no difference between the two words. They have the same meanings. What Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale decide to do at the end of the play is morally wrong. Before the three men leave the kitchen for the upstairs bedroom, the County Attorney says to Mrs. Peters, “…and keep an eye out for anything that might be of use to us.” She responds, “Yes, Mr. Henderson.” When you consider the fact...

...Briefly describe what is meant by two of the following: • Rules of Language • External aids • Internal aids [10] Rules of language are also known as subsidiary rules and there are 3 rules. The first rule is the ejusdem generis rule literally means of the same kind. So general words that follow specific words in a list are limited to the same type as the specific ones. An example of this is if an Act uses the phrase 'Cats, Dogs and other animals' the 'other animals' would include other domestic animals but not wild animals. Examples in cases: RE Stockport Ragged, Industrial and Reformatory Schools (1898), the phrase 'cathedral, collegiate, chapter and other schools' , court decided that 'other schools' had to be limited to schools of the same kind in those list, which were all church schools. Powell v Kempton Park Racecourse (1899) The Betting Act 1853 made it an offence to keep a house, office, room or other place for the purposes of betting, however 'other place' could not include open-air betting becuse the places specified in the list were all indoors. Gregory v Fearn, it was found that no tradesman, artificer, workman, labourer or other person whatsoever shall work on a Sunday, did not apply to estate agents. The second rule is expresio unius est exclusio alterius, this literally means the mention of one thing excludes the...

...d A family business is any kind of business which is entirely owned by the members of a single family. A family business is passed on from generations to generations without any requirements among the family members which create unity among the family. Regarding the first question asked, “Should Charlie be chosen as the next president of Adams Funeral Homes? Why or why not? And if the meeting should be scheduled for the following Thursday”, the next paragraph will answered and elaborated more based on the case given. Charlie is Robert’s son who apparently is the equal owner together with Rick of the family business known as Adams Funeral Home. He is also Rick’s nephew and a potential fourth generation successor. In my opinion I would suggest that Charlie should be chosen as the next president of Adams funeral Home. The reasons why I say this are as follows; Charlie is experienced and educated. Having an experienced working can be a help businesses attain their goals. At the age of seven years old, he started working alongside his grandfather in the family business and when he was at the age of eleven or twelve years old he had been regularly helping his father running the family business. Charlie is also educated, the fourth generation member attended Georgia State University and graduated in the year 1999, later on he joined a mortuary school for a year and after completion he joined the family business. Furthermore, Charlie is very excited to join his family business and...

...Neeraj Periwal Mrs. Grube AM June 7, 2004 Frindle Have you ever thought of inventing your own word and have it emerge as an absolute sensation? In Frindle, a magnificent book by renowned author Andrew Clements, a young boy named Nicholas Allen is faced with a language-arts teacher who practically worships the dictionary. But it doesn’t stop there. From making students learn a new word out of the dictionary every day to making you do an oral report on the origin of English, Mrs. Granger tries hard to apply the dictionary into the lives of all the children she teaches. Mrs. Granger’s love of this everyday language fascinates Nick and he proceeds to make up his own word: frindle. Who says you can’t make up a word? Sure, a pen is named after the Latin pinna, but where did pinna come from, anyway? Nick was a curious boy with an extravagant idea. “Frindle” spreads quickly. Almost immediately after the new word infects the school, Mrs. Granger, infuriated with the spread of the word, keeps students who say “frindle” after school and causes uproar throughout the community. Now, “frindle” spreads even more, and even Nick is surprised as the new word dominates the whole country. From San Fran to Times Square, Nick’s new word is being put in everyone’s vocabulary. Nick just watches (and enjoys) as money piles up into his bank account from wild sales of T-Shirts, hats, frindles, and who-knows-what all based on Nick’s word. Nick is on TV, in magazines, and...

...Lack of self-discipline Geronimo Moreno CSS101, Psychology of Motivation Mr. Allred 11/12/2012 Lack of self-discipline A lack of self-discipline can be problematic to one’s education and career. However, most people don’t understand the true meaning of self-discipline. Therefore I will write this essay to paint a clear picture of what self-discipline is, and what measures one can take in having a lot more self-discipline. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines self-discipline as; correction or regulation of oneself for the sake of improvement. Self-discipline is basically taking control of one’s conduct, usually for personal improvement. The reason a lack of self-discipline can be problematic to one’s education is because, instead of completing a required task you would rather be doing something else that is more enjoyable. For example, studying for exams or playing video games, finishing up a particular report or meeting with your friends, and exercising at the gym or watching television at home. Self-discipline is also similar to ‘self-control’ because you are basically controlling yourself to do something you don’t want to do. To become self-disciplined one must learn how to become the ‘disciple’ of themselves. To become a ‘disciple’ of your-self means to become responsible for your thoughts, actions, and maintaining self-control in doing so. A lack of self-discipline can be problematic to one’s career because, with absent leadership or bad perceptions...

Some of those obstacles include the culture of the organization, behavior or the organization, the diversity within the organization (or lack of), and the communication on receives within their organization. We are continually looking for ways to improve these areas and be able to co-exist with one another when faced with different opinion on what each area should represent in ones organization. I will be explaining the meaning of each of the different obstacles that I have outlined above and how they relate to one another or within the organization that I work for. Organizational Culture Organizational culture is recently a new concept. Asim Khan defined organizational culture as being a set of operating principles that determine how people behave within the context of the company.1 Some say that an organizations culture is what is going to make a true organization. Many organizations have their own cultures and no two organizational cultures are the same. Organizational culture includes two survival issues for an organization; external adaptation and internal integration. External adaptation deals with people that are not within the organization and reaching the set goals the organization has....
