...and find an occupation to fit that. College is an opportunity that allows you to pursue the “American Dream”. The opportunities that college present you with are endless and are open to however you choose to use them. As we are occupying our time about the limits we make ourselves we should be working to broaden our horizon in all aspects. Frank Bruni discussed specific points about what he believes the college experience should be such as networking, involvement in school activities and social media. Moving on from anything you have spent a lot time with or doing takes a lot of willpower to complete. Though this may be hard doing, moving on to become something greater is key to your success. Frank Bruni stresses this in his New York Times article. When in college, students tend to lean towards what they used to do in previous years as a form of comfort and support. This causes students to stay in a “gated community” per say. Students should be networking and expanding themselves rather than trying to recreate their high school years. Joining new groups and clubs instead of reaching to find identical substitutes allows you to broaden your horizons in all social suspects. Students believe college is too much about finding resources that aid them with their own personal preferences when they should be working to diversify their surroundings to maximize their own potential. Acquiring skills to break past these barriers is the hardest part for most people. Having to move away...

...Negative effects of the Internet Julia Tucker Today’s teenagers use technology more than ever. Most of them have Internet access, which they use to send and receive email, instant messages, live chat, and more. Rarely do they stop to think about how harmful the Internet can be, such as exposure to pornography, identity theft, or cyber-bullying. Not only are they exposed to certain things but also the Internet affects a teenager’s social life, mental health and physical health. Over usage of the Internet can quickly lead to internet addiction, which will ultimately give them less time for them to study, do homework, read, exercise, or participate in any co curriculum activities. As a result, internet addiction directly affected their day to day’s lifestyle and characteristic whom some are suppose to be inside the classroom yet they are wasting time surfing the Internet, watching pornography, or playing online games in the cyber world. Today, due to popularity of social networking sites, teenagers are encouraged to post their profile on them because they want to be accepted by their peers. With putting up their profile, it helps them to meet and make friends with strangers. In turn, the stranger may be a predator who expose the teen to child pornography and encourage the teens to exchange pornography. In some cases the predator wants to go as far as to meet up with the teen. All this heavy use of Internet by teenagers can greatly affect their mental health. Some...

...Globalization (Good or Bad) PHL/320 1/30/2016 Business Globalization is the tendency of business technologies, capitol, goods and services to spread throughout the world going beyond local and nationalistic boundaries. The practice generally accelerates profitability, and brand recognition while offering security from significant losses and expenses faced by similar entity’s in smaller business models. Although this sounds positive and beneficial; it does include unrestricted movement of labor and often may harm smaller or more fragile economies if applied universally. While I will focus on the impact globalization has on an organization from a business point of view, which is most often and very much a positive for the viability of a given business model; the crippling effect it has on standards of living, local economies, and job creation should not be forgotten. (1) There was a time being a local corner stone in business was “good”. At that time being a regional business was even better, and being a notional brand was just impressive; but in today’s world the ultimate goal is to be a global dominate brand. Globalization for business is “good”. The term “good” for the sake of this argumentative piece means it is advantageous and/or favorable economically to a business that is trying to grow, compete, and dominate in its space. It is also “good” for a business looking to find lower cost and/or obtain more diversified suppliers. As a business enters...

...variety of vocabulary than many modern works, and reading Greek and Latin classics can be a great tool for expanding vocabulary because the origin of many English words come from those languages (Leigh). Moreover, research suggests a prolonged exposure to fictional literature could improve social skills. In the experiment, the more authors participants knew the higher they scored on social cognition (Berger). Additional research suggests reading the classics exercises the brain in critical ways by increasing blood flow in regions generally associated with tasks that require close attention and activating areas used to place a person in the world spatially (University). As if that was not enough, reading the classics means understanding more literary references, which can enable a greater appreciation for other types of literature (Chen). Another thing the classics give readers is a more personal experience of historical events and past ways of thinking than textbooks often provide (Leigh). The classics made an impact on society at some point to become recognized, making them part of their nation’s heritage. One could argue they are as notable as the Colosseum, the pyramids, and the Taj Mahal (Chen). For people who are bound to a single place or barred from a certain level of education by finances or other means, literature is the best alternative for expanding their horizons. In fact, literature is not merely an alternative form of education, it is complementary to all other forms...

...My time here at Eastern has been a positive one. I have had more social and academic experiences in this past semester than my senior year in high school. My world view has changed slightly since I started at Eastern. When I first came here I did not consider the planet and the valuable resources that we are wasting (Chenfeld, pg 1) . Upon completing my ecology and the environment class I have learned that in order to protect our planet each person must be willing to make small changes to benefit the entire world. I learned that I cannot keep living the way I do and expect the Earth’s natural resources to stay intact. I have modified my lifestyle to conserve more, I shortened all of my showers and the number of showers I take in a day, I have...

...THE MARKETING PLAN Mission Statement: My objective is to encourage students who want to continue their education after high school, to consider applying to Wilfred Laurier University. I want to be able to highlight all of Laurier’s benefits, and inspire students to attend this establishment. To help achieve this goal I will engage in a promotional campaign, through the social networking site, Twitter. Target Market: The Twitter page will primarily focus on students who have decided to attend university, between the ages of 17-20. The goal is to attract not only students who live in Brantford, but to catch the attention of students who live in different geographical areas as well. Laurier is a friendly environment composed of a diversity of people and would like to continue expanding its cultural horizons in the future. Goals for Marketing Project: The goal of this promotion is to motive students to consider Wilfred Laurier as their main choice for continuing education. I am determined to grasp the attention of at least seventy students by the end of this semester. I will update the Twitter page daily with details about different programs, exciting Laurier events and my personal incite and discoveries about the school. I believe that students will be able to relate to this promotion because it is on a consumer-to-consumer level. Meaning a current student is sharing their insight about the university with another student. Both people are in the same situation...

...IT is a very important part of any company. Whether it is a large company or a small business, IT is required to keep the business expanding. Today there are so many different options on how to use it and it is important for a company to make the right choice when picking its services. The best reason to use IT is to keep transactions of payments and shipments to customers and other businesses organized. When expanding a company, it is even more important to have a service that keeps this all organized when more employees and customers will be added. The smartest system for this company to use would be Microsoft. This way we can all take full advantage of the Microsoft Windows Cloud. Not only does this system have very few flaws, it allows for everyone to add information to it and keep in contact with one another. Once a person adds information to it, everyone will be able to view it. This allows for employees to spread their ideas to their peers and coworkers in a quicker, more efficient way. Security is a very important part of any company. Microsoft’s main goal is to keep their customers happy and their information private. This will allow for our customers and employees to feel safe and trust us with their information. Also, this allows for the IT to have very little errors and can’t be hacked as easily. In the long run, using Microsoft Cloud will be useful because it can store a large amount of information so years from now when the company expands we don’t have to worry...
