...6/12/13 Handara Daniswara COM111 Eulogy For Chivalry Most studies found that the number one fear for Americans is the fear of public speaking, followed by death. That means as of right now I am better off if were inside that casket than standing here delivering this eulogy to you. We are here to commemorate the dead of Chivalry. I still remember the first time I saw him, in a Disney cartoon where he fought through a dragon just to save a girl, that cartoon was the Sleeping Beauty. Since then I saw more of him, opening doors for people, giving up seats for people, volunteer to carrying things for people, pulls out chair for people, paying the bill in his first date, the second date, and reluctantly in the third date but he still pays the bill. He is basically courageous and courteous. We are all mournful by his death, except women who killed Chivalry. If he were still alive today, the world would be a better place. Women, elderly, and kids do not have to stand in public transport; Chivalry would give up his seat. Women would have free dinner; Chivalry would pay the bill. And there would not be any need for automatic doors; Chivalry would open it up for you. Chivalry however did not die in vain. He has set us an example throughout his life, a code of conduct, that we men should follow suit. And if we do, we might bring Chivalry back from the...

...Bases of Power There are five bases of power in the given organization. The first base of power is reward power. Reward power is defined as being the opposite of coercive power and that “people comply with the wishes or directives of another because doing so produces positive benefits” (Robbins & Judge, 2007, pg. 471.) Employee 1 in the scenario wants to receive the bonus that he/she will be granted upon the successful completion of his/her annual evaluation. To ensure his/her tasks are finished and that they are correct, Employee 1 oftentimes works over his/her scheduled 40 hour work week by working late and on weekends at the encouragement of the marketing manager. The marketing manager often reminds the Employee 1 and his/her peers of the yearly bonus. The employee complying with the wishes of the marketing manager for he/she to work late so he/she will receive a good performance evaluation, thus resulting in the receipt of the desired bonus is an example of Employee 1 being affected by reward power. The marketing manager uses the second base of power, which is legitimate power. Legitimate power is defined as “the formal authority to control and use organizational resources” (Robbins & Judge, 2007, pg. 472.) The marketing manager being the person responsible for the evaluation of the employees, thus affecting whether or not Employee 1 receives the bonus he/she really wants is a demonstration of this power. The distribution of a bonus to an employee is an example of...

...Name : Nitu Poudel FEAR Fear is something that is born in every personalities and it is universal emotion. Some people have lots of fear and some have less but it's not something that can be ignored. Even God has fear. Fear is a that emotion, which can lead you to either become a great person or a broke one. If you take fear in a positive way then it can improve and direct you to obtain your goals. For example, "Fear of failure, Fear of death and Fear of other". If you follow these fear in a positive manner then you can be a successful person and you should always have fear. In the same way, if you do not have fear of anything then you would obviously continue to do whatever you like that you make you the worthless human or we can say thing in the world. Same ways, if you have lots and lots of fear within yourself and tend to do nothing but just stay wherever you are, then you will be the biggest looser anyone will ever see. Accordingly, fear is such a thing that can be explained in different ways. In my life, fear plays an important role. In each and every step, first I feel the fear whether I can succeed this task or not then I move on taking it positive in a safe way as much as possible. For example, I do not know how to drive a vehicle and I am learning this task. But I have a deep fear of the thought of having an accident. Because of the fear of having an accident, I will not stop learning how to drive but I will learn to...

...and by herself. This objectification of her body leads to various hardships for Lily. Some of these hardships are caused by confusion, indecision, and communication issues. Also, I believe that both men in the novel, and Lily, are responsible for these hardships. Throughout the novel, all Lily really owns that is of value is her body. I believe this to be true because there are various examples of men objectifying her for her body. Even Selden, who isn’t even a member of the high society, and who should be more rational based on his lower social standing, objectifies Lily for her body. Edith Wharton makes this fact very clear at the beginning of the book when she writes: “ Selden paused in surprise. In the afternoon rush of the Grand Central Station his eyes had been refreshed by the sight of Miss Lily Bart. Selden had never seen her more radiant. Her vivid head, relieved against the dull tints of the crowd, made her more conspicuous than in a ball-room, and under her dark hat and veil she regained the girlish smoothness, the purity of tint, that she was beginning to lose after eleven years of late hours and indefatigable dancing... ... He was aware that the qualities distinguishing her from the herd of her sex were chiefly external: as though a fine gaze of beauty and fastidiousness had been applied to vulgar clay.”(3) As you can see from the quote above, Selden objectifies Lily for her body from the beginning. He says that her distinguishing qualities are...

...Lily I need to do something. I need somebody’s help. This situation confuses, baffles, and even worries me. I have never seen this dog before. I quickly run to my mom to assess the situation. It feels hard to believe that eleven years flew by since the first day that I saw my little fluffy bundle of joy. My little poodle attained the name of Lily. I never imagined I would become as close to Lily as I did. One day, she casually walked into my backyard. I did not have a clue what to do, but eventually I carefully approached her. She was the most polite dog I have ever met. We played all day, and soon became best friends. But, of course we had to find her rightful owners. In a short time, we found the owners and returned her home. However, Lily never ceased to miss a day of showing up at my door. Before long, the owners offered us to keep her. Lily apparently did not want to be with these owners. Obviously we accepted this offer, and this became the happiest day of my life. On the other hand, I knew that good things come to an end, and situations do not end the way we would like. Overcoming a loss is extremely difficult, but I realized that experiencing a death has made me a stronger person and who I am today. Now eleven years have past since the day Lily became mine, and I can still remember that day like it happened yesterday. Lily was an amazing dog and I would not have traded her for anything. I loved her will all of my heart. Unfortunately, during the...

...The main problems of business communication in the organizations. I. The problems at the vertical level. 1) Social problems a) Disrespect to the employees. Example: The employer or the owner of the organization can consider himself to be better than his inferiors. As a consequence of that, he can treat his employees very badly. b) Lack of strictness from the employer. Example: Employer can act too soft, so his employees will not pay any respect to him. As a result, they can start ignoring his orders, because of his disability to keep the discipline in the office. To avoid such disrespectful relation to himself, each employer should be strict and severe to his employees, keep the distance. 2) Psychological problems a) Stress. Example: The employee can feel stressed because of the employer's scolding. Also, the reason of employee's depression or social restraint can be caused by disrespectful relation or harassment of the superiors. b) A fear of failure. Example: The employee can be afraid to tell his ideas or to show his project in case he foresees the employer's negative reaction. c) Keeping secrets. Example: The employer can keep silence about problems in business because of the fear to be given a scolding. It can cause a huge damage to the company. II. The problems at the horizontal level. 1) Social problems a) Conflicts. Example: Different interests among colleagues can cause many conflicts and separation in the collective. b) Business competition...

...that no human should have to live in. We were constantly worried about any of the sick on the boat and constantly saw death all around us. The trip felt like it would never end. I had the luxury of seeing the people above us in the other classes as I was boarding. They had enough room to fit five people in one part of their room. They had nice living and dining arrangements and we constantly pampered throughout the trip. We were left to fend for ourselves until the ship landed. The whole trip we had to entertain ourselves with music and dancing in what little space we had. They set up groups for us to prepare for the interview when we would arrive in Ellis Island. I was lucky enough to already speak a little English and became significantly better on the trip thanks to the others helping me practice. As we drew closer to Ellis Island the rumors became stronger and louder about rejections and...

...Meyonta Murphy 10-7-14 EN 1420 Trace Analysis The context in this picture to me illustrates that in order for there to be peace you must go through war. There are many wars going on just for peace. There are no peaceful protest that will help the situation get any better. This is targeted for military personal because they are the ones who are deployed to fight, police- they are put in place to protect and serve, and civilians because to the police are military we are the cause.

Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door” The Statue of Liberty is the stance of freedom. The statue was originally a emblem for France and the US friendship. Now it’s a symbol of hope. But when people get to America they treat it as its nothing.

...In the beginning of the book called Founding Brothers, the author, Joseph J. Ellis, tells his purpose to research how the relationships of the main people in the Revolutionary generation changed the development of American history. The author asks the reader to see the stories from both foresight and hindsight, implying that the stories should be understood both in terms of how they occurred, and in terms of what was later revealed over the years. He has chosen to focus the structure of the book around the important members of the Revolutionary generation, including Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, and Hamilton. The founding fathers realized that the new nation had great potential. George Washington was a great example because he thought the expansion into the West would help a civilized future. On page 7, George...

...This has been all over Twitter and Facebook but just in case you haven’t heard about it yet… Chin Xin-Ci was abducted at the Curve last Sunday evening and she managed to escape, thanks to her wits. I can only pray that other girls (that includes myself) can be as swift in action and thought. I don’t usually share stories like this (or the ones that go around on emails a lot) but this was just too close to home. Please read her full account below, and SHARE it on FB. ///////////////////////// As I sit here writing this, I am just so grateful to be alive. To think that 30 hours ago I had a knife to my throat, face to face with the threat of being kidnapped and raped. It was a Sunday, at 5.22PM. I was alone, walking towards my boyfriend’s car in level B2 of The Curve, Mutiara Damansara. He was not in town, and I was running errands with his car. Just as I was putting my shopping bags in the rear seat, the rear car door was slammed against my back, and a meat cleaver was pressed against my throat. A man covered my mouth with his hand, and whispered not to scream. He then shoved me onto the floor of the backseat of the car and waved the cleaver at me, reminding me not to scream. He was skinny, wearing a baggy turqoise blue t-shirt, had a thick moustache and short curly hair, approx 5’8″, mid-30s, and of Indian descent. At this moment, second man appeared. He was also in his mid-30s. He was wearing a red t-shirt, had a crewcut, and was of Malay descent. He grabbed my car keys...

...Teach Chocolate Luo Colloquial Chinese Homework: Vocabulary, Expressions, Idioms, and Set Expressions Chinese is not English, and English is not Chinese. For your study of English, I believe, colloquialisms are not important because native speakers of English are simply not that impressed when you know, for example, that “there are two sides to every coin.” I do feel, however, that native Chinese speakers are very surprised and excited when a foreigner can properly use Chinese colloquialisms. For this week’s homework assignment, please help your foreign teacher (me) learn some authentic (地道的) cultural Chinese. These include 词汇, 短语, 熟语, and 成语. 1) In your notebook, write two pages of Chinese vocabulary, expressions, idioms, and set expressions. Follow the format of the two examples at the end of this document. 2) No two students should choose the same Chinese, don’t copy from the internet or a 百度 search for “成语 English,” and please use your own words to explain the Chinese to me. 3) Your class should bring me a typed, printed, and stapled list of all the Chinese your classmates chose to teach me. If you only teach me in class, I will forget, but if I have a printed document to take home and study, I will learn much better! 4) Again, check the examples below!

...New Year's Day When reading "New Year's Day", I think most people can relate to the main character in the story. When something is going good in your life, it can seem to be too good, in this case however, I think Clare is making a big deal out of many small things. Clare thinks that her boyfriends previous girlfriend, called Amy, is making her feel crazy, an example could be in Alan's apartment, when Clare apparently forgot to shut off the oven: "This is so spooky. I swear I turned the oven off last night." And she therefore stated, that Amy has been inside the house, without them knowing it. Alan call her paranoid, because she continues to find reasons and posibilities, how Amy got into the house, example "Amy could have got in … She could have turned the oven on. I expect she still has a key." Again Alan must demystify the things that Clare torment herself with. The relation between Clare and Alan is split up, Alan is truly in love with Clare, but Clare is perhaps afraid of finding a man, because she never had a standing relationship. We see where this is mentioned in this quote "Clare had had lovers but never lived with a man before." That’s why she in the end decides to go away from Alan, who stands powerless back watching his love going away without a word. But the whole problematic starts, when Clare feels that people are strange at the new year's party with Alan's friends. The day after, Clare only focuses on the strange things that happens, and forgot to look at what...
