...Many people in education have influenced my life in a positive way. However, there is one teacher who stuck out and who immediately came to mind. My sophomore year chemistry teacher, Mrs. Fitch, is that person. She is a good role model by always being a positive person and by going above and beyond in helping me succeed. Every time I talk to Mrs. Fitch, she always has positive things to say. I have never heard her talk down or negatively to another person. One day our class was having trouble with another teacher, and we were talking to her about it. She was a role model by telling us how we do not need to be talking about others. She said that she understands where we are coming from, and she helped us understand why we were having troubles....

...Mountains Beyond Mountains- Discussion Part I While reading the first paragraph I think it became apparent that Kidder found that helping the poor and political corruption go hand in hand. Most large entities or governments don’t find it beneficial to help the poor so there isn’t much motivation from the local governments to do so unless there is some sort of incentive usually associated with corruption or bribes. The murder of the assistant mayor for example, almost everyone thinks it’s the sheriff that is corrupt and killed the assistant mayor. Unfortunately there isn’t enough evident and Captain Carroll can’t do anything about it. So it takes people like Farmer to be resourceful and work with what he’s got. I find Farmer’s demeanor impressive, it seems that he really cares about each of his patients and wants the best for them. This is shown by him going above and beyond for Joe, one of his patients. He makes sure they are getting the right care and following through later to check with them. In Farmer’s book he has a totally different demeanor which I find strange. In his book “Infections and Inequalities” Farmer is enraged about how some necessary drugs don’t always make it to the lower class people but in person Farmer is a calm, caring and an easy going physician that goes above and beyond for his patients. I though Farmer’s experiment on how his patients are motivated was really cool. 100% of the patients that received money and free medication were cured when only...

...I have experienced numerous tribulations and hardships in my life; but I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel and have become a successful soon to be high school graduate. Support from family, church, and school, I have put my hardships behind me and am ready to start a new chapter in my life. My father was an abusive and aggressive man; which lead to the separation of my parents when I was 11 years old. I even experienced his brutal, sadistic behavior when I was 15 years old; it demoralized me and left me feeling helpless. Luckily I have a considerably magnificent family; who continuously revitalized me and pushed me to succeed above and beyond, they knew I was capable of great things. Without my family I probably would not be who...

...Albert Bateh Dr. Haddorff Assignment 3 What are the most important characteristics of a “green business” or “sustainable business?” How can business be a force for good by addressing the problems associated with the environmental crisis? In answering this question, be sure to draw from chapter 10, the Anderson video, and 3 additional outside sources. Going Green or going home. Business throughout the world has evolved since the first traders used to barter for goods. Today we keep in mind the ever changing global economy, and how it has effected our environment as a whole. In this paper we will be looking at different characteristics of a “green business” or in other words, “sustainable business”. How businesses can be a force of good by addressing some problems associated with environmental issues of our world as we see it today. Also we will be drawing and interpreting some additional sources that will further support as well as debate our “green business” characteristics. Lets start by stating there is a difference between “green business” and a “sustainable business”. A sustainable business is not necessarily green. You can have a company who makes many profits and has many millions of dollars invested into it, but they could be doing absolutely no environmentally friendly to help the world. Just because they could be considered a successful company, does not mean that they have reached the level that they are at today by doing things completely environmentally friendly...

...universe known to humankind is governed by space, time, and matter. God, however, dwells not in the physical world but outside of it, beyond space, time, and matter. The physical laws that rule the universe do not limit God, in fact, He put the laws in place and He is above them. A Psalmist writes that “A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night” (90:4). This passage clearly states that God experiences time in a different way...

...Above and Beyond Home Care Budget Plan Shanitra Williams Webster University- LRAFB Abstract There are many home care agencies and organizations with the demands of providing services to much of our communities. One must wonder consider what is the cost to funding particular organization to meet this demand? The cost is just as extensive as the reasons why resources are made available to the agencies. There are many governmental grants, and funding that may provide assistance to these agencies. The need to present an appropriate budget is just as important as providing the services. The organization need to have a plan in how their services and resources will be distributed throughout the term of the each year.

In the research I volunteered my time and made an effort to seek to understand their need to influence...

...BRIAN PHARRIS I learned a lot in watching the types of power videos. I learned that it is five different powers you can display as an individual. Those powers are referent, reward, legitimate, coercive, and expert. These powers are all intriguing to me. Referent power means being trustworthy and going above and beyond the call of duty to do a job you’re ask to do. Reward power is offering something of value to get somebody to do something. Legitimate power is showing authority of power with a certain position or rank. Coercive power is being demanding, intimidating, and using some type of fear to get what you want. Lastly expert power is being comfortable to influence others because of expertise, knowledge, or skill. The type of power I find most effective is reward power. I think reward power is the most effective because usually when you offer somebody some type of reward or something of value it usually motivates them to do their job a lot more. The types of power I think I have as an individual are two types of power. The first power I exude as an individual is referent power. I consider myself to be a very trustworthy, hard working, and going above and beyond to do what ever it takes to get a job completed. The other type of power I display is reward power. As a manager I tend to give my employees certain rewards for goals they make each month hoping that it will motivate them to come to work and do their job to the best of their ability. I would say I...

In the scenario that I would play it straight through I would be losing money when running the facility at 3.9-million-tons, when I was approved the building of a 6-million-ton facility. 4. Does Pignatelli have a responsibility to Italian citizens to build an environmentally friendly refinery above and beyond what the law requires? Is it appropriate for Gulf to spend this extra money and essentially take it away from shareholders? No Pignatelli does not have a responsibility to Italian citizens to build an environmentally friendly refinery above and beyond what the law requires.

...TORTS ESSAY 1 Art and Bill were leaving work one afternoon when they were approached by Charlie, who was wearing a mask and carrying a gun. Charlie, who suspected Art of having an affair with Charlie’s wife, approached to within ten feet of Art and Bill, aimed the gun at Art and said, AArt, I am going to kill you.@ Art quickly grabbed Bill and pulled Bill in front of him, using Bill as a shield. Charlie fired the gun; the bullet going over the shoulder of Bill and hitting Art in the arm. Charlie then dropped the gun onto the ground and turned to run away. Art, using his uninjured arm, picked up the gun and shot at Charlie as he ran away, hitting him in the leg. Bill was horrified at the prospect of almost being shot, and although he suffered no physical injuries, incurred $5,000 for psychological counseling. Discuss the intentional tort claims, if any, that can be raised in the following lawsuits, and what defenses, if any, that can be asserted: 1. 2. 3. 4. Art v. Charlie. Bill v. Charlie. Bill v.

...then delve into the arguments that are presented. I shall first highlight Athea’s argument against the presence of God, explaining the structure and conclusion of the problem of evil argument, as this lays the foundation for the whole dialogue. I shall then focus on Bea’s reaction to Athea’s argument, clarifying her perceived weakness of the argument and furthermore pointing out her theories on why the presence of evil exists despite Gods existence. Finally I shall present my opinion on the Problem of evil, illustrating the weakness in the premises and its inadequate consideration of the ways in which God might prevent evil without our knowledge while letting certain evils to exist that lead to a greater good than evil. Focusing on the above, my explication relies on The “Inductive” Argument from...

... On the surface, these four purposes seem very competent in promoting the idea that being on welfare permanently is not the idea of the assistance program. However, federal involvement in welfare has only made things worse, complicating matters by the waste of taxpayers' money while doing very little to solve the problem of long-term poverty. The policy pathway being proposed in this memorandum is that the federal government should remove their role in TANF and all related welfare programs and leave these programs to state governments or even better the private sector. Another policy suggestion would be to get states more involved through programs such as Beyond Welfare, which is a totally new approach to downsizing on the need for federal assistance programs through social networks. Using this policy pathway we are going to delve deeper into why these ideas and new policies are important, compare and contrast...
