...The Political Spectrum is a diagram that splits political thoughts and ideologies into two parts or halves the left and the right. From the center, moving to the left, the attitudes and ideologies grow more liberal, from liberal to radical and from liberalism to communism. Going to the left would be called going to the democratic party. From the middle, moving to the right, the beliefs become more conservative, from conservative to reactionary and from conservatism to monarchism or fascism. The division in this diagram helps to explain and categorize individuals that are both republican and democratic in the United States. In this essay, I will state my political opinions and talk about my stance on issues facing Americans today. In today's...

...Teresa Stringer Diaon M. Cook ENG 101 Final Exam Yes your vote does count Why Americans (or young people) be more involved in politics? Our forefathers were beaten and mistreated and fought for us to have the right to vote. We should take the time to get involved and go out exercise our right to vote. Not just Americans should go out to vote, but especially women and Blacks. Our future depends on what is going on in politics. Therefore we should be involved in America the land that we love. Our forefathers fought for us to have the right to vote. Think back to your grandfather and great grandfathers and grandmothers what they went through in order to have the right to vote. My grandmother told me that she had to take a test to be able to vote, and so did Rosa Parks. This was not fair to our people but they had to endure it. Selma to Montgomery march made history for us as a people. They were hosed down with water and dogs let loose on them. Our foreparents were proud and wanted to be treated equally and fairly. The color of someone’s skin should not dictate the way that they should be treated. The Bible teaches us to love our neighbor as ourselves. We as American people should care enough about our country to get out and exercise our right to vote. We have earned the right to vote and we should utilize our rights as American citizens. If we don’t get out and vote then when things are not going right don’t complain, because you forfeited your right...

...#8, Cabugao Dayanara Rose Ticlao ARC2 9:00 am – 11:00 am CTHM 2H3 Asst. Prof. Robinson V. Laxa What is Arnis? Arnis is also known as kali, escrima, baston. It is the best known and the most systematic fighting art in the Philippines. The origin of the term ‘Kali’ is uncertain, the word ‘Eskrima’ and ‘Arnis’ are of Spanish origin “ Esgrima” which means fencing, and Arnis meaning “armour”.Consequently, practitioners of this style are referred to as Arnisadores, Eskrimadores or Kalistas. Before I took up arnis, I asked my self about the reason of taking it. Initially it was for self defense, but now it was more a philosophical reason. Arnis is really focused on techniques. So while it can benefit me physically, it’s really about self defense. At this age, 18, I really expect to have many encounters where I need to defend myself. Also the fact that I am studying in Manila, I know I really need to know some techniques for me to protect myself. It is nice to know that I would be able to protect myself and my family if needed with this simple knowledge about arnis. But I guess really the philosophical part comes not directly from knowing how to disarm and subdue an opponent, but from more of the indirect aspects. Arnis forces you to focus so course it will help you to improve...

...What is the Right Supply Chain for your product? -Marshall Fisher Summary prepared by Sunny Bhambhwani for Great Lakes Institute of Management Chennai Need for the Right Supply chain Before judging the correct supply chain for your organisation, we first need to understand what a supply chain is. A supply chain is a system of moving a product/service from supplier to customer. It involves organisations, people, technology, resources and activities. Hence, a right supply chain would be the one that not only delivers the product/service to the customer, but also helps the producer match the demand of the product/service to his supply, thereby causing no excess or shortage of inventory. In the current competitive marketplace, a producer cannot afford to lose any customer due to unavailability of the product when the customer needs it, nor can he afford to bear excess cost for inventory surplus which might be unsold for a long time. Hence, deciding the right supply chain is of prime importance in the operational functioning of the organization. Types of products To judge the right supply chain, the producer first needs to identify his product as functional or innovative. A functional product is the one that generally satisfies basic needs, has a long life cycle and has a predictable demand. Basic commodities fall under this category. Due to the stability in the demand, competition is fierce for functional products and hence, producers tend to differentiate their product from...

...“Don’t be too close to him, you’re too young, you might get hurt.” These are some pieces of advice I could still remember when I felt a strange feeling of happiness, a feeling wherein it seemed that my heart is jumping up and down. Asking myself, am I in love? But then because of my immaturity, I disregard my parents’ advice. I let myself being close to him and unfortunately, in the end I got dumped and left alone full of pain and all I can do is to cry. I think this is usual to us in our adolescence days. There really comes a time wherein what we want is contradicting to our parents’ wants for us and because of this we feel that we are deprive of our freedom to choose. I can still remember the days when I was courted by someone for almost three years. Everyday my parents always gave me advice on this thing. There came a point that we quarrel because I get irritated because they keep on advising me. But, then I never answered him because it seems I felt it is not yet the right time for me to be committed to someone. I said that let’s just be happy on what we are now, I thought he understands me but then just right after my 18th birthday, he texted me and said that he needed space and he just go away explaining nothing. In that way I ended up hating him. This experience was the most regretful in my 18 years of existence, for not following my parents. I am not the only one who was hurt but also my parents who wants nothing but the best for me. I disappointed them; and even if...

...The Hardest Decision 25 years old, just starting to get my career going, and newly married. Life was wonderful, but then I find myself in a situation that I never thought would present itself, pregnant. At that very moment, I sat on the bathroom floor, and just cried. My brain was racing, all I could think was, “what am I going to do? I can’t have a baby right now, I’m still a student, I have too much debt, I cannot afford to raise a kid.” I sat there for a good hour and just cried. Not knowing what to do, I called my husband. He was silent on the other end when I told him, all he could say was “we will talk when I get home.” The next few days after getting this information left us confused, lost and not really sure of what to do next. After lots of discussion, we came to the decision that we were not ready to be parents, so what were our options? Well, personally I knew that if I gave birth to this baby there was no way I would be able to hand over my child to someone else. So the only option left was abortion. However, for a long time I have looked down on women who had gone through with abortions, thinking there has to be some way it would have worked itself out if they had the baby. Now here I was, presented with the same situation and did I ever feel horrible. I felt selfish for even considering having an abortion, but deep down I knew that it was the right thing to do. On the day of the appointment, me and my husband go to the clinic and I am just racked...

...Issue Statement Broadly speaking, WoodSynergy is experiencing an information need and integration problem. It must use IT to enable SCM in order to get the right information in front of the right people at the right time and through the right lens, which requires a centralization of S&D data. Doing so will facilitate WoodSynergy’s interdependent goal of meeting demand with high quality products delivered on-time. Analysis, Recommendations, Future The urgent decision to build a gateway without paying adequate attention to information integrity and timeliness is a likely predictor of future disappointments and suboptimal performance at WoodSynergy. An SCM, or any IT system for that matter, is only as good as the information that goes into it, and it was a trigger-happy decision to place standardization and real-time interfacing above information integrity and timeliness. Real-time interfacing with mediocre-quality, relatively antiquated data is not an optimal operation. While initial results seem indisputably positive with over $1.5 million in cost savings, wide spread approval among RDMs, and a significant efficiency increase in order processing time, there is no reference to an analysis of alternatives. An optimal decision would have evaluated the remediation strategy and gateway prototype against a range of other feasible options, specifically against the other mediation approaches. WoodSynergy needs to increase the speed with which it processes orders and makes...

...Lillie Minor Spring 2016 POLS 111 #7593 Chapter 9 Assignment: Political Parties The first issue I am going to discuss three different political views on is abortion. It seems as though abortion is such a fought on topic between people of different political parties. This is an issue with two clear sides, but one way of looking at that I had not seen before. It was really interesting to see these three different/similar views on such a big topic. First off is the Democratic party. On this issue the Democratic party supports a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay. They argue that this kind of a decision is intensely personal to the women and her family. In this decision, there is no place for the government or politicians. They are on the side of pro-choice because they believe that each and every woman should be able to decide whether they want to be pregnant and have a baby. Woman should not be forced into doing something with their body just because it is what the government is saying. This kind of a decision should not involve the government. Next I looked at the Green party and their view on abortion. The view of the Green party was actually quite similar to that of the Democrat party. The Green party supports a woman’s right to reproductive choice, no matter her marital status. Also, they believe that a woman should have access to a safe and legal abortion procedure. Like the Democratic...

...Poverty affects me and my family very greatly; I didn’t really get to grow up in the best of way or around the right people all the time. Money is the cause for more than people even know, it could be the difference between divorce, the people you’re around, and the things you may experience while growing. Well thankfully I’m here to tell you that I got a taste of all of those. But I didn’t let it hold me back from becoming the person I am today; which is a kind, respectful, thoughtful person. I grew up in a little town, so that also limited me and my family to the stores and shops which are around us at the time. Which aren’t always the cheapest, so a trip to Wal-Mart or something in pueblo would be a once every two months trip if possible. My dad left me and my brothers when i was in 7th grade and moved to Minnesota. These made me have to step up to the plate and set an example for my brothers and try to help my mom as much as possible. So I didn’t get to experience a lot of the freedoms like my friends did because we were so poor. Like when I went on sports trips, there would be times where I couldn’t eat with the team because my mom had to extra money to send with me on traveling trips. It also limits you being able to go out and hang out with your friends because you having to stay home and help your mom make dinner for your younger brothers. When I could go out and hang out with friends I wasn’t ever around the right crowd, and I wasn’t always doing the smartest things....

...support obamas views to preserve it. When it comes to drug abuse, conservatives tend to be against the loosening up on the penalties and legalization. On the other end, liberals view legalization as a way to improve our economy and loosening up on punishment for any type of drug abuse. Neo-conservatives are Conservatives with less strong views and tend to fall on the more moderate side of the spectrum. Sometimes these neo-conservatives even have a few liberal views on certain issues, especially when it comes to domestic policy. Looking at the issues addressed earlier, they tend to have the same views except less strong feelings on the need to change them. Neo-liberals are liberals who share a few conservative views. Hardcore Liberals tend to be modern and progressive where as neo-liberals show these characteristics but also some conservatism views such as free markets. 3. I believe that Democratic Conservatives seemed to be the closest to a moderate view. Though the views of a democratic conservatism have some far right and far left ideas, it evens out to be right in the middle of the spectrum because it contains both liberal and conservative...

...Critics of conservatism have argued that the ideology only reflects the interests of the privileged, however it is not as simple as that. There can be several reasons why this argument has strong validity; conservatives will point to One Nation conservatism and Christian Democracy as examples of conservatism’s way of pleasing all. First, Conservatives turn to paternalism as a way in which the less privileged in society are helped by conservatism. Paternalism follows the principle of ‘noblesse oblige’, where the better off have a moral duty to help the less well off. For conservatives, freedom is not understood in negative terms. Instead, freedom is a willing acceptance of social obligations, therefore is considered to be the duty of conservatism. This thought was first put forward by Benjamin Disraeli and led to the establishment of the Second Reform Act, which gave the working class the right to vote. ‘Tory Democracy’, a strand of One-Nation conservatism, can also be seen to be reformist as it also aims to implement social reform; therefore this does not just reflect the interests the privileged. Secondly, Christian Democracy is a branch of conservatism that can be seen to support the interests of the less well off. Christian democracy follows the paternalistic social traditions of Catholicism and advocates the social market economy, where the market economy is supported by a welfare system and effective public services. This endorses partnership and cooperation, therefore...
