...GENERATION OF BUSINESS LEADERS INSTEAD I MET DENMARK’S NEXT GENERATION OF NGO OFFICERS, CHARITY WORKERS AND UNITED NATIONS BUREAUCRATS. ONE STUDENT AFTER ANOTHER TOLD ME HOW THEY HAD NO INTEREST IN A CAREER IN BUSINESS. HOW BUSINESS PEOPLE ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN MONEY. IT WAS AS IF CAPITALISM WAS SYNONYMOUS WITH EXPLOITING THE POOR, PUTTING CHILDREN TO WORK IN FACTORIES, DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT. IT WAS AS IF YOUR SCHOOL HAD BEEN POISONED, THAT A COLLECTIVE GROUPTHINK HAD TAKEN HOLD AND IT HAD BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO STAND UP FOR THE MARKET ECONOMY WITHOUT LOSING ALL YOUR FRIENDS. THAT’S WHY I’M HERE. I ASKED TO BE HERE. TO STAND UP FOR THE MARKET ECONOMY. FOR CAPITALISM. AND FOR LIBERTY – WHICH IS WHAT MAKES IT ALL TICK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE MARKET ECONOMY IS MANKIND’S GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION WAS GOOD. EINSTEIN’S THEORY OF RELATIVITY WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE. THE LUNAR LANDINGS DESERVE A MENTION. BUT CAPITALISM IS A MIRACLE. WE HAVE INVENTED A MAGICAL SYSTEM THAT ALL BY ITSELF GENERATES PROSPERITY AND MAKES EVERYBODY RICHER. CAPITALISM IS A FORCE FOR GOOD NOT BECAUSE IT MAKES THE RICH RICHER – ALTHOUGH IT DOES - BUT BECAUSE IT LIFTS THE POOR OUT OF POVERTY. THE BIG WINNERS FROM CAPITALISM – THE JACKPOT LOTTERY WINNERS – ARE THOSE WHO ARE NOT RICH THE MARGINAL VALUE OF AN EXTRA MILLION DOLLARS TO A RICH PERSON IS ALMOST ZERO. IF MARK ZUCKERBERG WERE GIVEN A BILLION DOLLARS TOMORROW IT WOULD NOT CHANGE HIS LIFE IN ANY WAY. BUT A GOOD JOB...

...Bart King (1873–1965) was an American cricketer, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. King was part of the Philadelphia team that played from the end of the 19th century until the outbreak of World War I. This period of cricket in the United States was dominated by "gentlemen cricketers"—men of independent wealth who did not need to work. King, an amateur from a middle-class family, was able to devote time to cricket thanks to a job set up by his teammates. A skilled batsman who proved his worth as a bowler, King set numerous records in North America during his career and led the first-class bowling averages in England in 1908. He successfully competed against the best cricketers from England and Australia. King was the dominant bowler on his team when it toured England in 1897, 1903, and 1908. He dismissed batsmen with his unique delivery, which he called the "angler," and helped develop the art of swing bowling. Sir Pelham Warner described Bart King as one of the finest bowlers of all time, and Donald Bradman called him "America's greatest cricketing son." (Full article...)

...Shawn Wiley CRJ 419 American Terrorism Charles Loftus Assignment 4 Part Two June 16, 2013 More Domestic Terrorist Than the Public Realizes With only a few mentioned in part one of this two part essay, there are actually many more domestic terrorist groups that are coming to light. Domestic terrorism has been around for many years and probably for many more. There are going to be groups or even individuals that will have their own beliefs and may even try to push those beliefs onto others. So because of this domestic terrorism is going to be around for a long time. Looking through history I have found a few domestic groups that weren’t mentioned in part ones essay but I feel should be addressed. Ku Klux Klan can never be ignored as one of the most prominent of all domestic terrorist groups in the United States. Another one is Phineas Priesthood, and lastly a group Americans must focus on is Black Liberation Army. These are the three that I think should really be focused on, for they seem to be mentioned by the F.B.I. in a lot of Domestic Terrorism articles. Ku Klux Klan (KKK), just the name sounds of something bad is about to happen. The Klan has been causing havoc since 1865. Is definitely one of the oldest and most infamous for violence than any other domestic group on American. Most believe that blacks are the main subject of the Klan, but that isn’t necessary true anymore. They tend to focus on attacking Jews, immigrants, gays, and lesbians...

...Preface: The Generation In the preface, Joseph Ellis takes his time in explaining the importance of the American Revolution. He starts off by stating that during the 1780’s everyone thought that it was only natural that America verge away from British rule. They all figured that it would be a gradual change; not a full blown revolution. Throughout the chapter, Ellis puts great emphasis on the many things that could have gone wrong during the revolution. He points all these negative events and set backs that he felt could easily have brought the developing America down to show just how great of an accomplishment the revolution was. The Founding Fathers were not completely oblivious to the severity of breaking away from Great Britain. Tom Pain states that, “it is only common sense that an island can not rule a continent (pg.3).” Many assumed that it was only natural that the thirteen colonies govern themselves. They figured that it would be a peaceful break such as the gaining of independence for Ghana or Canada. It was not until later on that the colonies realized that Britain would not easily hand over the land. What I find interesting is that only the Founding Fathers seemed to realize the great events taking place during their time. John Adams even instructed his wife to file and keep all of his records. It is as if he knew that hundreds of years from then, we the future Americans would look back at his notes and recognize his greatness. This makes me wonder why they...

...necessary to prop up the U.S. farm industry, particularly given the role that has been assigned to corn-based ethanol in the United States energy security plan. This brings us to the issue at hand; do United States farming subsidies need to continue, or should they be eliminated? This work will attempt to clarify why both sides of the argument feel they are correct and it will also attempt to show that repairing or fixing farming subsidies, not completely eliminating the program is in our best interest as a country. Method Most of the research that was unearthed on this topic came from the professionals in the field. Among the research found are debates from the CATO institute, website articles from the National Center for Policy Analysis, and information from the Heritage Foundation. Findings and Observations As it is often argued, governments are going to be involved in agriculture and a country’s food supply. As is often the case, if governments are involved, you as a consumer want them to err on the side of more production, not less. Estimates of the future cost of subsidies are, exactly just that, estimates. However, given the extent to which we have turned to agriculture to provide some of our nation’s energy needs, it is very likely that spending levels will decline significantly from those observed in previous farm programs. Levels of support have been held constant in nominal dollar terms since the early 1980s. The target price for corn in 1982...

...American Revolution does not seem to have the same kinds of causes that Revolutions usually display. There were no big social wrongs, no class conflict, no severe poverty, or gross inequitable distribution of wealth. Wood claims our revolution was not about independence as most history books claim but about the radical transformation of the American society. Monarchy In this section the author describes the structure of colonial America in the 1750s and 1760s. In colonial society, authority and liberty flowed from the structure of personal relationships. Society was held together by networks of personal loyalties, obligations and dependencies. In this hierarchical society, the elite or aristocrats ruled. The aristocrats (also called gentlemen) used their wealth and their hereditary advantages to keep the common people as dependents. The aristocrats lived a life of leisure which meant that they were not expected to labor. Their income was supposed to come from their landed estates. They used these landed estates to control the issuance of government offices and created laws that would keep their estates in the family. Most estates were passed on to the first born male, wives did not inherit the estate upon death of the husband but had lifetime use of it unless they remarried. Women were considered to be legally like children. People who were dependent could not be free and were excluded from participation in public life which was handled by the Patriarch (Father). Republicanism...

...Mind Vs Mind Set : The Grand Indian Challenge by Dr. RA Mashelkar May I say first of all what a great honour, what a great privilege it is to be standing before you this morning. I want to thank All India Management Association and Lucknow Management Association for doing me this honour. As one gets older, the company of the young makes you feel young and you start adding just not years to your life but life to your years. So thank you for giving me this opportunity. What I have been asked to do is to be a little anecdotal and take you through the journey that I have my self gone through – share with you the lessons and the inspirations one can have from that journey of my life. Mind and Mindset While I am going to do precisely that, let me begin by saying that the idea of having this Shaping Young Minds Programme is a great idea. And why do I say it’s a great idea? When we look at the 21st century, many people say that it is going to be the century of knowledge, but people who think more deeply about it say it is going to be the century of mind. Just think about it. Can you imagine that with the demographic advantage that India has, with 55% of its population being less than 25 years old, you are talking actually in terms of something like 600 million odd young minds shaping the destiny of this country. So, Mr. Handa, what a powerful theme you have selected for designing and defining the future of this great nation. For this, I will really like to congratulate...

...7 ANALYZING THE AUTHOR’S PURPOSE AND TECHNIQUE he writer’s overall purpose determines the techniques he or she uses. The writer’s reason for writing a particular article or book may be manipulative, as in propaganda or advertising, or may be more straightforward, as in informative writing. In either case, understanding the writer’s underlying purpose will help you interpret the context of the writing. It will also help you see why writers make the decisions they do—from the largest decisions about what information to present to the smallest details of what words to use. The chapter concludes with instructions on how to write an analysis of purpose and technique. This kind of rhetorical analysis will provide the perspective required to keep you from being pushed by words in directions you don’t want to go. T 103 104 Part 1 Writing About Reading The Writer's Purpose Insofar as people know what they are doing, they plan their actions to achieve their purposes. Someone who selects the purpose of being rich will design and carry out a set of actions, legal or illegal, to gain the desired wealth. A person who wants to gain great wisdom will design an entirely different life course. Writers, whether they want most to be wealthy or wise, have specific purposes they hope to achieve by any piece of work. If they are skilled writers—that is, in control of what they write—they design each aspect of what they are writing to achieve their purpose. Being aware of the writer's...

Juvenile Delinquency is increasing for the fast and speedy development of Industrialization and Urbanization. Industrialization and Urbanization make changes the Family structure which increases the propensity of Juvenile Delinquency. A large scale of people has been shifted to City town from rural area and keeps staying in the abdomen. This also increases Juvenile Delinquency. Now Juvenile Delinquency has emerged as a matter of concern in Bangladesh in recent times with the number of children and young people involved in "criminal activities" rising at an alarming rate. In most of the cases this is not a deliberate choice for the children. Numerous social factors coupled with poor parenting, family troubles and above all extreme poverty are pushing these children to this anti-social position. A child is born innocent and if nourished with tender care and attention, he or she will be blossom with faculties physical, mental, moral and spiritual into a person of stature and excellence. On the other hand, noxious surroundings, neglect of basic needs, bad company and other abuses and temptations would spoil the child and likely to turn him a delinquent. Therefore, expressing his concern for Child...

...Foreword The Army is the primary landpower arm of our Nation’s Armed Forces. It exists to serve the American people, protect enduring national interests, and fulfill the Nation’s military responsibilities. FM 1 is one of the Army’s two capstone field manuals. It contains our vision for the Army. While the entire manual is important, I would direct your attention to four particular items. FM 1 establishes the fundamental principles for employing landpower. The most important of these are the Army’s operational concept and the fundamentals that support it. They form the foundation for all Army doctrine. All Soldiers should understand and internalize them. FM 1 describes the American profession of arms, the Army’s place in it, and what it means to be a professional Soldier. Central to this discussion are the Soldier’s Creed, Warrior Ethos, and Army Values. These three statements establish the guiding values and standards of the Army profession. To understand Soldiers, you must know about them. To be a Soldier, you must live them. FM 1 discusses Army contributions to the joint force. As the Armed Forces achieve even greater joint interdependence, the Army will depend more on the other Services and vice versa. For this reason, the Army is currently transforming its units and institutions to enhance our campaign qualities for sustained operations and to achieve greater expeditionary and joint capabilities. It is important for Soldiers and all who support or are associated with the...
