...written piece of work is about a group of British boys whose plane was shot down and the "passenger tube" was released so it could crash land on a jungle. The boys are the first humans to touch this island, and the author describes a "scar" on the island that is represented as the first touch by a human. The author's use of symbolism is apparent and adds to the total "feeling" of the true genius of this book. The main idea in the story is society and the way we as individuals function socially. It is a sort of "guinea pig test" to see how boys would act without adults around, although it is all completely fictional. At the beginning of the story, Ralph pretends to "machine gun" Piggy. This tells the reader of the presence of a war occurring on the world outside this island. After the discovery of the conch, all the boys are assembled on the beach, a leader is picked and the characters are placed before the reader's eyes. We get a good sense that Jack is someone who is a stubborn, spoilt child who is always used to getting his way and will go to extents to get his way. Ralph is that quiet boy who everyone wants to listen to because of his charms and everyone is eager to be his friend. Right away we get a sense of foreshadow that Jack and Ralph are close to becoming rivals. In a way, Jack is Ralph's foil. Piggy is a fat boy who's self confidence will never match up to his intelligence, Simon is the one who's sticking close to Ralph and we get a feeling they will be good friends, and...

So this makes it a dehumidifier, a mirror, a hanger and a light. 3. It has a great possibility to be produced because it does not have to replace any product we have right now.

...The technique de Maupassant uses is seen as naturalistic, as in his habit of observing his characters from the outside and not from the inside: "The characters in 'The Necklace,' and there are only three, are viewed externally, being as it were characters in a drama rather than a prose fiction" (Adamson).

She does not see that her popularity is because of her beauty and charm, things that are inherent to her and that she has not made use of because she believes she cannot dress as well as she should: She dressed plainly because she could not dress well, but she was as unhappy as though she had really fallen c=6&stab=512&ai=59015&ste=16&docNum=H1420005411&bConts=16047&tab=2&vrsn=3&ca=1&tbst=arp&ST=maupassant%2C+guy+de&srchtp=athr&n=10&locID=longbeach&OP=contains.

...clerical staff were not efficient as these forms never gave the true evaluation of performance. So, to change the faulty performance appraisal system two Sweetwater experts gave their recommendations to solve the problem. The first recommendation was not to use graphic rating forms as this rating method did not provide any clear picture about the good or bad performance. The second recommendation was not to force administrators to arbitrarily rate at least half their secretaries as something less than excellent. The recommendations given by the experts were good and made sense but these recommendations created problems like efficacy of any graphic rating forms if it is compared to the original forced ranking approach used by Rob and what should be the basis of performance appraisal. ANALYSIS OF THE CASE: The job of Rob Winchester was to completely change the performance rating system of the university because the previous system was dealing with high staff turnover ratio and also the process didn’t look just. The initial performance appraisal form was filled by administrators. Administrators had to rate their secretaries on the basis of work they have done. The problem with this form was that every administrator used to rate their secretary as excellent so as to avoid...

...put together to work on a task who just don't seem to make the same progress. Your answer as to what a team is may be working together with other people to figure out a problem; and you are exactly correct. Teams are better in some situations, but not necessary needed in all. In fact, they may have some disadvantages that are inappropriate for the work place. Teams typically outperform individuals when the tasks being done require multiple skills, judgment, and experience, but when the individual isn’t a team player, teams are just about as good as the individual himself. (Robbins and DeCenzo 275-84) Many times, teams are often confused with groups. Teams and groups are similar, but not completely. What differentiates both is that in a team, the members are committed to a common purpose, have a set of specific performance goals, and hold themselves equally responsible for the team’s results. A group is individuals working interdependent who come together to reach a particular objective. There are four types of teams that carry different level of effectiveness. They are: a working group, a pseudo team, a potential team, and a real team. In a working group, there is no work or opportunity to engage in that requires a mutual effort, so their performance is strictly based on each own member’s contribution and what they bring to the table. In a pseudo team, the member’s don’t focus on collective performance or have no interest in shaping a common purpose, so their work is poor. In a...

...attitude and guidance, you will soon look forward to doing your best. Like any other career enhancement tips, there are no guarantees for success. However, if you bring the right attitude and decide to take action then you are half way there. Nothing will stop a first jobber like you from shining at your workplace. 1. Self-discipline The value of self-discipline in a first jobber is often underestimated. Now that you are in the working world you think to yourself, “Is self-discipline overrated?” I will tell you, no. It is not overrated. I have often found new staff with good self-discipline doing better than those who are poor in it. Let me use a simple example to demonstrate this, assuming it’s a Friday and the rest of the department is planning to go out for a fun night. You have an important document to be completed for the coming Monday. What do you do? Give the fun night a pass and complete the work? Or join the fun and hope that you will find time to finish it over the weekend thus leaving you little chance to perfect it before submission? Part of self-discipline is also about sacrifice. When you have strong self-discipline, it is inevitable that you would need to sacrifice some fun time to focus on your goals. If you are interested in advancing your career you may take some courses, or even read books to increase your knowledge. All these activities come with an opportunity cost. It could very well mean less time for leisure activities. |[pic][pic| |] | |...

...Experience Reflection Interviewing a manager was a great experience and I have learned a lot from it. I had interviewed a former manager and owner of a sewing shop called Alterations and her name was Norayda Bautista. It was a great learning experience by getting to know the manager’s duties and perspectives. Being a manager requires a lot of work, skills, and determination. The first question asked on this interview was about their day-to-day duties. Bautista’s daily tasks were to assign loads of work and give instructions to get things done in time. She signed a subcontract with a clothing company and she received orders from them to sew clothing and it would be picked up on a certain day of the week. Besides assigning work and giving instructions, she also worked on scheduling employees. I also asked her what goals she and her team members had set. Bautista had set a quota to just finish all of their work by the end of the week. Their tasks depended on what their contractor from the subcontract has asked for them to sew and alter. Bautista’s strategy to achieve the goal was to teach her employees how to work and keep them on track to get work done faster. It seemed that Bautista focused on speed since schedules were usually tight. Timing and speed were two important factors. Next question of this interview was asking if the manager had any challenges. Bautista answered that as an owner and manager she deals with challenges every day. Manager, owner or not, people face challenges...

...emerged in his most important literature which was named Wealth of Nations. The theory holds the view that all human behavior is to satisfy the self-interest (Hung-Wen & Ching-Hsiang, 2009). Actually people should strive for the maximum economic benefit and working is to obtain economic returns. For this reason, the employees’ attitude that plays the role as the inner motivation of the work will makes a great impact on the perceptions and judgments on the work (Boardman & Sundquist, 2008). What is more, the employees’ attitude also will promote their learning knowledge and improve the endurance in the work. As a result, the self-motivation has more spiritual strength than the spontaneous working from the employees. In fact, the employees who are working with the self-motivation can run themselves up (Boardman & Sundquist, 2008). Their attitude towards the work is the completed devotion into the job and a mission which is being not able to shirk the work and doing not applying for any remuneration (Boardman & Sundquist, 2008). Therefore, the purpose to pay more attention on the relationship between the work...
