...Effects of Religion Religion definitely affects people in many different ways and even includes the lack of religion in my opinion. I have always seen religion as a base or back bone for a persons up bringing. I think that our values and morals all stand on the base of religion as many times if not most everything we do is in some way tied to our own personal religious backgrounds. This can be something as simple as feeling guilt for not donating to charity to making life and death medical decisions, such as refusing a blood transfusion that could save a life. I think one of the biggest and most obvious world events that is an example of organized religion having an effect would have to be terrorism and the religious ties some believe they have. Unfortunately I think people stereotype as much as we may not want too and some are persecuted for it while being innocent of such things. Another event that has affected our world due to religion would be the cults that are formed and result with the ending of life in a mass suicide. While this is luckily not seen too often, we do from time to time hear about a so-called prophet who convinced a group of people that he was here to take them to heaven, that by ingesting some substance they will die and ascend to heaven, leaving this world behind. Who can say which religion is right and which is wrong? I believe any religion can be seen as right as long as it brings peace to those who believe in what they worship and...

...Negative Effects of Television Television is the most famous media communication in the world. Almost all people use television with many kinds of purposes such as entertainment. In addition, television brings a good side for children to gain various knowledge outside of school. However, some parents claim that television brings many negative effects toward their children. Based on my experience, I agree with that statement. First of all, television can make a big wall among family member relationships. For instance, when children are addicted to watching television, they will feel lazy to do anything such as eating, sleeping, etc. Even when one of the family members tries to make a conversation, they will answer back as simple as possible. Thus, this kind of attitude would cause a bad effect to relationships among family members. Secondly; now days, there are many action movies shown either via theaters or vie television. Even though it is much fun, but secretly, it makes a new shape of attitude for children. For example, if children often watching action movies, in the future, their responses for everything will be full of rude moves. Therefore, it is hard for children to make a good relationship around them. Lastly, every scene of movie might give a bad influence to children. For example, there is a movie which tells the audience about an alcoholic’s life. In that case, it is possible for children to drink alcohol at such a young age. In summary...

...Bullwhip effect refers to a scenario which arises due to change in consumer demand thereby affecting the companies in the supply chain to order more or less goods to meet the current demand in the market. It may also be viewed as a trend of bigger and bigger oscillations of inventory in relation to the change in demand from the consumers as one looks at the supply chain from the retailer way back to the raw material source. The variability of the demand determines the size of the loop in the various stages of the supply chain with largest swing observed at manufacturer and raw material stages. There are several factors which causes the bullwhip effects. First is the inadequate communication between the parties in the supply chain. This hinders the process to run smoothly since the inventory department views the demand of a product differently within the supply chain links and order different quantities. This makes the prediction of the demand difficult unless communication is improved. Second is ordering the commodities in batches. Companies often accumulate orders before ordering for goods. This forms variability in the demands because at times they order large quantities and the other times low quantities depending on the market hence creating bullwhip effect. Third is the information of demand the company have. The companies in the supply chain depend on the historical data to predict the future demand. They may fail to take into consideration the variations of demand...

The movie is Napoleon Dynamite, and the town is Preston, Idaho. Throughout this profile, Holson tells the reader about a Napoleon Dynamite festival held in the small Idaho town the movie was filmed in. Some examples are given as to the events held at the festival such as the Napoleon look-alike contest, or the tater tot eating contest. Many of these contests and activities help people bring out their so called, “inner Napoleon” (Holson 162). Holson is able to illustrate the impact the Napoleon Dynamite festival had on the town and the people of Preston, while organizing the piece effectively. One point that is addressed by Holson is how the town is affected by the Napoleon Dynamite festival. The title addresses this point when she says the “rural Idaho town” (Holson 161). After her short story about the festival, Holson immediately jumps into how the town is effected.
