...In the essay “Your So Called Education” by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa the ideas of education quality and the lack of it not being held to the highest standard are evident throughout the essay. These two authors have written many different works about problems in education today. Richard Arum is a professor of sociology at New York University, and he is also the Director of Education Research. Arum received his doctorate in sociology from the University of California at Berkley. Finally he led Research Partnership for New York schools, giving them solutions to improve the public school system. Josipa Roska is the associate professor and director at the Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. She also is the professor of sociology at the University of Virgin. Both of these authors have high degrees in higher education, and have qualified backgrounds. Their goal in this essay is to target teachers and professionals. The main points of this essay are to give these professionals tool to make education at a higher standard. Although the use of logos is clear there is an underlining essence of pathos, and a lack of pathos. The article starts with talking about how special graduation is, and how important receiving a college degree really can be. Nevertheless it also says that the difficulty of schooling has significantly decreased in recent years. School is more about fun now then about work.

...In today’s modern age and time, many people has the belief that a good education was the key to success in life, and that only through education and education alone will they achieve such ‘success’. Indeed, I must agree with the majority that by having good education, which is in terms of getting Aces in your studies and topping in your classes, they may be ways to help you in achieving success in life. As to many people, success may be symbolized as getting a highly paid job, earning a high salary, driving in a big flashy car and living in a posh house. All of these are materials, which can be easily attained when you are very well educated as jobs will then came knocking to your door instead. However, this might not be true all the time as there may also be other exceptional cases when sometimes even if you have received good education while studying overseas, you might not get a well-paid job. This is for the reason that, the skills you have picked up overseas may not be applicable and useful in getting you the job you want in Singapore. Thus, in this case, a good education may not definitely be the way to success in life. Other than this, a good education is also not the only path to success. You will also need a spank of luck and chances to strike occasionally to make it to success. That explains why there are successful people with low academic results being published on newspaper, as they are the ones who believe in their own efforts and know how to grab hold of...

...Effective Study Skills Are the Sole Foundation of a Sound Education EFFECTIVE STUDY SKILLS ARE THE SOLE FOUNDATION OF A SOUND EDUCATION? This essay will define what study skills are and how these aid learning. Issues relating to difficulties in adapting study skills will be discussed, and how effective study skills can give foundation to a successful education and future. Study skills or study strategies are approaches applied to learning (Wikipedia, 2012). Anderson (2002), describes study skills as processes of meta-cognition, which is self-awareness of one’s thinking and learning. Learners who are able to step back and monitor their thinking and learning are able to use strategies for finding out or figuring out what they need to do. These strategies help students organize, process, and use information effectively (Kerka, 2007). Petty (2002), states that most study skills teaching have positive effects, but some skills work better than others. Research shows that students who are strategic learners for example who know there are multiple ways to do things have increased self-esteem, become more responsible, improve completion and accuracy of their work, and are more engaged in learning, also improving their performance (Beckman, 2002). Higher education expects students to have the maturity to work on their own for longer, this could feel as though study lacks structure which could be an easy option to quit, however...

...History Father's Day is a celebration of fathers inaugurated in the United States in the early twentieth century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting. After the success obtained by Anna Jarvis with the promotion of Mother's Day in the US, some[who?] wanted to create similar holidays for other family members, and Father's Day was the choice most likely to succeed. There were other persons in the US who independently thought of "Father's Day",[1][2] but the credit for the modern holiday is often given to Sonora Dodd,[2] who was the driving force behind its establishment.[3] Father's Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas.[3] Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910.[3][4] Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there.[3] After hearing a sermon about Jarvis' Mother's Day in 1909, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them.[3] Although she initially suggested June 5, her father's birthday, the pastors did not have enough time to prepare their sermons, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June.[1][2] It did not have much success initially. In the 1920s, Dodd stopped promoting the celebration because she was studying in the Art Institute of Chicago, and it faded into relative obscurity, even in Spokane.[5] In the 1930s Dodd returned to Spokane...

...A bank is a financial institution licensed by a government. Its primary activities include providing financial services to customers while enriching its investors. Many financial activities were allowed over time. For example banks are important players in financial markets and offer financial services such as investment funds. In some countries such as Germany, banks have historically owned major stakes in industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United States banks are prohibited from owning non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share holding entity known as the zaibatsu. In France, bancassurance is prevalent, as most banks offer insurance services to their clients. The name bank derives from the Italian word banco "desk/bench", used during the Renaissance by Jewish Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a green tablecloth.[2] However, there are traces of banking activity even in ancient times..[3]The earliest evidence of money-changing activity is depicted on a silver drachm coin from ancient Hellenic colony Trapezus on the Black Sea, modern Trabzon, , presented in the British Museum in London. The coin shows a banker's table (trapeza) laden with coins, a pun on the name of the city.In fact, even today in Modern Greek the word Trapeza (Τράπεζα) means both a table and a bank. Traditional banking activities Banks act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accounts...

...valuable education I will receive will only further my chances of getting my dream career and lifestyle. If someone were to ask me about college, I wouldn’t respond with the typical “Can Opener” answer. It’s much more than just getting money. I also agree that comparing college to a can opener is almost idiotic, especially if you were to dig deeper and see that there’s more to a college education than meets the eye, which cannot be said about a can opener. While a college education helps in getting a job, it also goes beyond and above in furthering our experience and knowledge of the world around us. I wholly agree with the author of the article, clearly stating that college does not only affect our working lives, but every single aspect of our life, as we gain the skills to appreciate the little things more. We see things that other people can’t. That is truly invaluable to me, having the knowledge to look past the surface meaning and understand the hidden messages threaded throughout stories and movies. A college education is not a can opener. A college education is the stepping-stone through a variety of opportunities, like our author had stated multiple times. With college there’s obvious advances in science and technology, and basically even the future of our country. Employers trust us more as the college experience builds our character and outlook on certain things. I find this article magnificent, as it justifies my wants to pursue a college education even...

...Goods and Services In economics, need and want are either goods or services and which are sometimes called a commodity. People claims that goods are the things can touch such as pens, longyis, rice, book, as soon on and services are thing that people do for you, or you do for other people, which are the things you cannot touch such as education or healthcare. In economics, a good is a material that satisfies human wants and provides utility, for example, to a consumer making a purchase and a common distinction is made between 'goods' that are tangible property. Moreover, when people want to produce one goods, they need basically, 1. The name. 2. What it look like-pictures. 3. What it does. 4. The cost and why people should buy it. For example, if people produce shoes and the name of the shoes is Addias, which designs is very wonderful and people can use every season even though summer, it costs is 60$ and that brand is very grantee, therefore they should buy that kind of goods. Services are as important as goods and when one goods produce, goods is the first step and the second step is service, but service are things that people cannot touch. For example, when people go to the hospital or clinic, doctor or a medic examines does tests or indicate some medicine. In addition, when people buy a cup of tea in a teashop, they are not only buying tea, water and milk (goods). people are paying for the services of sitting in the teashop, of someone making the tea, bringing it to them...

Conclusion 14 V. References 15 Introduction about customer service Customer service is the way a business looks after its customers. According to Turban et al. (2002), "Customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance the level of customer satisfaction – that is, the feeling that a product or service has met the customer expectation". Customer service has to be a team effort and not just the responsibility of employees who deal with the public directly. Providing good customer service is a vital part of managing a business. Most customers have the option to go elsewhere if the quality of customer service is lacking. On the other hand, good customer service is a source of competitive advantage. Good customer service leads to customer satisfaction. Satisfied customers are more loyal and profitable. Dissatisfied customers take their money elsewhere – and tell their friends about the poor service they have received. A good customer service bring a lot of benefit to the company if they have one: increasing sales, customer loyalty, enhanced public image, more effective workforce...
