...I have read Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou. I enjoyed this poem. I think that it has a positive message, and people can relate to it. This poem is really pretty. The rhythm flows beautifully throughout the entire piece. I think this is a good poem for people who are not very familiar with poetry. The beat is easy to find, but it isn’t too simple. Many times, I have read poems in which I have difficulty finding the rhythm, or the rhythm isn’t consistent through the whole poem. I also like the way that the words sound like they belong there. The words rhyme, but they don’t feel like they are in the poem for that purpose only. I think that people sometimes put words into poems that don’t really fit that well. The words may finish the sentence properly, but they are not words that you would use every day. I think this takes away from a poem because it kind of makes you pause in the middle of the flow. I feel that this poem appeals very much to people who are not what our society calls beautiful. There are many wonderful people who don’t quite fit the standard of this MTV culture that we live in. People are so quick to judge others on their outward appearance that they don’t take the time to get to know the person inside. This poem sends the message that you can be confident in your self even if you are not a super model. I can personally relate to this poem in several ways. As you have probably noticed, I am not the best looking guy in the world. I do however have some very fine...

...What are the motivational factors associated with eating? First things first, it is a universal need to eat. According to our text there are three basic reasons from a biological perspective and they are we need a source of energy, we need to have the needed elements for rebuilding cells and manufacturing the chemicals, hormones and enzumes that make it possible for the body to perform its necessary functions. (Franken, 2007). This is what food intake allows the human body to do. There are many other motivations for eating such as social events. With social events comes the ability to share food and drink. It is something that man has adapted to doing since the cave man days. The men would gather the meat and the women would gather the foliage. They would then share their bounty with one another. According to the text this is not something that has been observed in other animals. (Franken, 2007) • What are the motivational factors associated with love? The motivational factor that stands paramount with regard to love is that it allows for humans to establish a long – term relationship. Attraction also plays a key role in love. Once you find that you are attracted to someone the ball starts to roll. You want to get to know that person and see if you are compatible. If so then the likelihood of a physical relationship comes into the equation which can lead to marriage, children and the continuation of the gene pool. • What are the implications of viewing...

...…………………………………………5 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………..9 References…………………………………………………………………………...10 The need to control plays a vital role in human survival. Control may be one of the most fundamental of all human needs. To survive, succeed and go where no person has gone before, humans need to develop competence (Franken, 2007) as well as the ability to influence others to get them to do what they want done. This is called power. This paper will discuss the need for us as humans to control others. I will talk about Rotter’s locus of control and the dimensions of power as they relate to influencing others. I will also talk about the need for competence as a fundamental motivation that serves the evolutionary role of helping people develop and adapt to their environment. Let us look at the need to control. To function normally and successfully within our society it is important to have a sense of control. Without a sense of control, people lose their ability to cope effectively with even the smallest difficulties (Franken, 2007). The need for control plays an essential role in determining things such as whether or not people will initiate new behaviors. Rotter’s locus of control (internal/external) shows us where people are, but not necessarily where there are going. External locus of control is giving other people, places, and things the power to influence your feeling...

...GEB 6217 Paper STATUS REPORT – IDENTIFYING THE BEST ANALYSIS FOR SAFETY PROGRAMS IN THE WORKPLACE The activities aimed at safety at work are regarded as an investment made in the field of human resources. These activities give rise to costs for the company. The advantages and disadvantages of various types of analysis of costs and benefits are determined by the expectations of the management. This status report considers three different economic analyses. A working hypothesis determines which one of the methods is the most feasible and appropriate in attempting to explain the advantages and disadvantages of a particular safety program. Finally, a conclusion reveals the steps that are yet to be taken, the final recommendation and presentation deadlines. PROBLEM STATEMENT Apart from the ethical/moral reasons, underlying the desire to protect the health and human life, and from the obligations arising from the law of rules and regulations, economics play an increasingly important role in choosing a safety plan. Safety is increasingly being considered as an investment made in human resources (Zangmeister & Nolting, 1996). It is essential to evaluate such investment in terms of return...

...Einleitung Fremdinvestitionen in Indien: Herausforderungen, Chancen und Aussichten aus deutscher Perspektive Warum deutsche Firmen aus Heilbronn-Franken in Indien investieren. Und warum nicht. 1 Einleitung “Today India is changing and is becoming a land of opportunities. The pace at which India is growing, I can say with confidence that it will remain so for decades to come. India remains one of the top three investment destinations even in recessionary conditions and we are determined to maintain that position.” Anand Sharma (Ernst & Young, 2010, S. III) Die Republik Indien, welche im wirtschaftlichen Kontext oft als “Elefant“ (Quer, Claver, & Rienda, 2010, S. 154) bezeichnet wird, ist ein Land der Komplexität und Vielfalt in Kultur, Sprache, Geografie und Religion (Wamser, Sürken, 2005). Während der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte hat sich Indien zu einer der führenden und interessantesten Wirtschaftsmacht der Welt entwickelt und das mit Wachstumsraten des indischen Bruttoinlandsprodukts von bis zu 7,5 Prozent im Jahr 2011. Für die nächsten 20 Jahre prognostizieren Experten dem indischen Markt Wachstumsraten von mindestens fünf Prozent – mehr als für jede andere Wirtschaft (Krishnamurthy, Koubek, 2006). Darüber hinaus sind Fachleute aus dem Aus- und Inland äußerst zuversichtlich, dass Indien seine Erfolgsgeschichte der letzten beiden Dekaden fortsetzen und sich von einem Entwicklungsland zum „global backoffice“ (Enderwick, 2008) wandeln wird. Nicht zuletzt betont das einleitende...

...According to Senator Franken (2015), this bill prohibits public school students from being excluded from participating in, or subject to discrimination under, any federally-assisted educational program on the basis of their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity or that of their associates. It also considers harassment to be a form of discrimination. This bill will most definitely clear all the harassment and bullying that LGBT youth ecounter in their schools. Schools and non- LGBT youth will understand that it is illegal to harass, bully, and discriminate against LGBT youth just the same as any other race, sex, religion, etc. Senator Al Franken (n.d.) states, while federal civil rights statutes clearly address discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, disability, and national origin, they do not explicitly include sexual orientation or gender identity. As a result, LGBT students and parents have limited legal recourse for this kind of discrimination. The Student Non-Discrimination Act of 2015 will ensure the lessening rates in which LGBT youth attempt suicide. Senator Al Franken (n.d.) states, surveys indicate that nearly nine out of ten LGBT students have been bullied, which contributes to their high rates of absenteeism, academic underachievement, and even higher rates...

...Tim Burton Dark, but Lucrative Style Tim Burton has a very popular filming style that mixes his love for action-horror films and books with a sometimes funny and simple comedy style. Movies like the Grinch, The Corpses Bride, and Franken weenie have given Tim Burton films a very distinct and original look and feel to them that set his films apart from those that hovered all over Hollywood in his day. Tim Burton's ability to produce low budgets hits like Franken weenie Pee-wee's Big Adventure and Beatle Juice also set him apart from many other directors. He used many of his techniques on numerous movies like in Edward ScissorHands and in Big Fish, he used Edward in both of them, he also works with the same cast on many of his movies, working with both his wife and an actor named Johnny Depp. What Tim Burton is most notably known for working with a legendary actor named Johnny Depp on most of his movies. Between all of the movies that he has filmed the two that stand tall as the closest in relevance to each other are Dark Shadows and Edward ScissorHands. In Both movies Johnny Depp plays an outsider, a person left behind and forgotten by time, a person that tries to fit in but just doesn’t belong where he want to go. In Edward ScissorHands he is a man with Scissors for hands and in Dark Shadows he is a bloodthirsty vampire from the 17th century living in the modern 21st century. Although both movies are dark and gothic they also share a dark twisted sense of humor but also a sad...

Dabei wird dieses Ergebnis folgendermaßen ermittelt: • Eine wahre und eine falsche Aussage durch "Und" verknüpft ergeben eine falsche Aussage. • Zwei wahre Aussagen durch "Und" verknüpft ergeben eine wahre Aussage. • Zwei falsche Aussagen durch "Und" verknüpft ergeben eine falsche Aussage. Beispiele dazu wären: 1. Innsbruck liegt in Tirol (w) und ( ) das Münchner Gymnasium hat 10000 Schüler (f), ist insgesamt eine falsche Aussage. 2.

...Christopher Lejuez Franken Summary David Zinczenko states that “If ever there were a newspaper headline for Jay Leno’s monologue it would say that; kids’ taking on McDonald’s this week, suing the company for making them fat. Meaning that people are trying to sue for something they did to themselves. Zinczenko also questions, whatever happened to personal responsibility? When David was growing up he claims that he was also a fast-food patron. He was a typical mid – 1980’s latchkey kid. His parents weren’t in any relationship with each other, with his mother working long hours, by the time she reached home it had probably passed lunch and dinner. So David had no other choice but buy inexpensive from fast food restaurants like McDonalds, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut. By the age of 15 David was already more than 200 pounds. He then began to change the way he ate after joining the Navy Reserves when he was in college. David believed that most of the teenagers who lived like the way he did won’t turn their lives around, because they’re under the golden arches to a most likely fate of lifetime obesity. It states that before 1994, diabetes in children was generally caused by a genetic disorder. Today there are 30 percent more of childhood cases of diabetes in this country. David suggests that no one should eat more than one meal from any fast food restaurant in one day. He also guarantees that if you drive down any thoroughfare you will see a McDonald’s restaurant...

...energy related stimuli and controls metabolic processes and feeding behaviour. Lashley suggested that behaviours for feeding were controlled by the brain (Lashley, 1938 as cited in Beck, 2000 p.93). It is likely that these controls are in the general region of the hypothalamus (Beck, 2000). Concentrating on obesity, which involves more input than output of energy in eating motivation, this essay will argue that although there are other motivations for eating a biological perspective underpins motivation to overeat. Obesity is a medical term that describes a state of increased body weight or adipose tissue that is sufficiently great to produce adverse health consequences (Reeve, 2005). It is usually defined as 25% in excess of the norm (Franken, 2002). The tendency to obesity appears to be somewhat genetically determined (O’Rahilly et al.,2003). People who are overweight often come from overweight parents which could be said to be a learned response for over eating (Rozin, 1996). But, adopted children are more likely to resemble their biological parents than their adoptive parents in weight and identical twins, even reared apart are closer in weight than fraternal twins or other siblings (Stunkard, 1991). Two possible explanations are that they inherit a similar metabolic rate or a tendency to eat as a reaction to external...

... In china, motivation is driven by honor and pride. Historically, the Chinese were born into a class that they could not escape and honor meant more than money. In other countries, motivational techniques took on more of a brutal look. Even in the US, our history shows us that motivation could be boiled down to slavery and the will to survive. Although slavery is now history, motivation both positive and negative still exists. Late President John f. Kennedy once said, "If not us, who? If not now, when?" One could say that this could be the motivation behind the US people now. Atkinson’s Theory of Achievement Motivation states that, “the need to achieve is always tempered by another fundamental need, the need to avoid failure.” (Franken) I believe that this is the foremost reason for motivation today. With social laws and human...

...The more “franken-foods” people create and eat, the more problems such as biological pollution, gene transfer, antibiotic resistance, food allergies, and many more arise. Genetically modified organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms must be illegal to manufacture and distribute due to the extreme harm and long lasting negative effects they cause to environmental and human health. Although 32,000 years ago our ancestors did not know what genetics were, a simple version of DNA manipulation began to flourish. People discovered that when an animal with desired traits such as size, color, intelligence, or other characteristics were bred with another animal of the same species with similar desirable traits, their offspring resulted in that beneficial...

...Trisha Myers Professor --------- English 1302 December 2, 2014 The Genetically Modified Boogeyman There is an acronym tossed around today that is so infamous and so widespread, it is able to stir up deep-seeded feelings of distrust in many people in several parts of the world: the GMO, or, the genetically modified organism. There is hardly a product on American grocery shelves today that does not contain some form of a genetically modified (or GM) crop, and many people find this fact disturbing. The average consumer does not fully comprehend the GMO, but fears and rejects it based on a superficial knowledge of the term. The possible dangers – or the possible lack there-of – of GMOs are largely debated among consumers, organizations, corporations, and even politicians. And yet, the overlooked consensus of the scientific community is that, so far, GM ingredients in food products cause no more harm to the consumer than non-GMO products. However, there is no proof that long-term risks do not exist, and many point to the several countries that have banned or severely restricted the production and trade of GMOs. But mankind has been altering the genes of food through domestication for thousands of years using selective breeding; many say that biotechnology is simply the newest innovation in agriculture. There are, without a doubt, problems surrounding GMO production and regulation that need resolving, but the process itself is not inherently bad. As long as the practice is well-regulated...
