... 8/5/07 1st Pd. Wine In the story Wine the author Hayashi Mariko subtly sketches a modern Japanese career woman as a developing round character who is constantly evaluating her relationships with men. While in Quebec for a business trip Ms. Sone is being taken on a tour along with others through different areas within Quebec. They are they taken to a very exclusive and important wine cellar of Canada. “Oh, wine. Just hearing the word makes me tense.” As the reader can tell wine must not be a very strong subject to Ms. Sone. “But wine is my weak area,” she says. Knowing very little of the subject she offers to buy a bottle to take back as a souvenir of the trip. Picking one of extremely lavish quality just to splurge on the occasion Ms. Sone picks one thinking it is costing her forty-five dollars in reality ending up to have a final cost of one hundred forty-five dollars. In complete shock of the price she decides it is of too much importance to drink in a regular occasion with regular people and decides to save it for something or someone special to share it with. The wine now became of some importance to Ms. Sone due to the price tag which came with it. Like those who she mocked she guarded the bottle as it were a real life baby While thinking of those to share it with she immediately crosses out her boyfriend Kunihiko because she thought he had no appreciation for it. After saying “ Lets drink that...

...In the world of business, there are many tasks and a single person alone cannot do roles that need to be filled and all. The responsibilities that leaders and their subordinates have can range from one to one hundred and the importance of these tasks should always be taken seriously. By delegating responsibilities throughout a team of people, tasks get taken care of and the business is run, in a perfect world, smoothly. Delegation is a skill of which we have all heard - but which few understand. It can be used either as an excuse for dumping failure onto the shoulders of subordinates, or as a dynamic tool for motivating and training your team to realize their full potential (Blair). The following paragraphs I will discuss delegation and how it affects the leader, subordinate and the business as whole as well as the skills that are needed to do so. By definition, delegating is the assignment of tasks and responsibilities (McGraw, 2004). It is apparent that in a business, as well as anything else that are team oriented, dividing up responsibilities is not only important but also necessary for a positive outcome. A manager that recognizes this can use the tool of delegation to his or her advantage. At PureFitness our Office Manager has to take care of many tasks that are not only time consuming but is detail oriented as well. On top of data input, accounting, and acting as a go between to the other PureFitness clubs, she is responsible for answering the phones and taking care...

...1. THE PROBLEM Given the situation above, the disaster response team was not able to fulfill its duty to provide efficient, fast and immediate relief assistance and social welfare services to the affected families of the typhoon Ondoy. 2. ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM * Lack of manpower - the absence of Ms. Cruz and other members of the disaster response team cause the delayed in providing immediate social welfare services to the affected families. * Lack of communication, coordination and support from the members of the disaster response team. 3. ANALYSIS AND RECCOMMENDATION The disaster event is a good opportunity for Ms. Cruz, as a public servant and a social worker in particular to show to the management her passion and dedication about her work. Ms. Cruz should have exerted more effort to prove to the management of her capabilities as a social worker. Considering that Ms. Cruz is new in the department, maybe the reason why she acted or behave that way because she did not feel the urgency or importance of her role as a social worker especially in times of disaster response. Based on the above situation, it is improper for Mr. Santos to compare Ms. Cruz with the rest of employees who were able to perform their job well. He should better understand that individuals differ with each other in many aspects i.e capabilities, attitudes, personality and values. Some members of the disaster response team were absent during the emergency response resulting to...

...Running head: Administrator and Teacher Interview Administrator and Teacher Interview Administration and Teacher Interview I remember sitting in the Principles Office one day during recess unsure of why she would want to meet with me. My knees were knocking, my palms were damp, and you could sense the amount of fear that was present in my body. As Ms. Bagakowski called me into her office she reassured me that this was a friendly visit and not one of discipline. She wanted to ask if I would be okay with moving into a different class because I was struggling in my current class. As I look back now on the experience I understand more of the reasons behind the switch and I also understand the role that both my Teacher and the Principle play in the school. The assignment this week was to interview both an Administrator and a Teacher and compare and contract their roles in the education system. I like that you used a personal example. When I went into Ms. Vance’s office I was quickly reminded of the fear I felt waiting for Ms. Bagakowski. Ms. Vance is the Director for Madison Christian Children’s Center in Phoenix, Arizona. As I began the interview Ms. Vance expressed her passion for children and how she became the director of Madison Christian Children’s Center. It wasn’t until she was mother that she really found her true calling to be a Teacher. She ran her own daycare from him and after her children were old enough to attend Preschool she went to work...

...Chalace Lowry is a 50 year mother recent employee of Wal-Mart. She began working as an administrative assistant in the Human Resources Department. One day she was making copies for her boss Mona Williams which looked related to stock information. Later she learned that Wal-Mart was planning a $15 Billion stock buyback and it made her wonder if some insider trading was going on. Remembering the importance of ethics in her orientation, she felt that she had to let proper authorities know about what she had seen. She used the open door policy that Wal-Mart has to report the wrongdoings. Ms. Lowry ended up filing a complaint against Williams with The Ethics Office. The office investigated the issue and concluded that it was all a misunderstanding. The Ethics Office concluded that the papers that Lowry copied had nothing to do with insider trading and it was no violation of the ethics policy. Even though no charges were brought up against Williams, the so called Open Door policy/ Anonymity was breached. Lowry was identified to Williams that she was the one that filed a complaint which led Lowry to looking for a new position within Wal-Mart. She felt uncomfortable working for Williams under the new circumstances and asked to be transferred The Code of Ethics is very important to an organization. It defines the whole ethical standpoint of the company. In this paper I will expand on the code of conduct of my former company Wal-Mart. I will research how to make a successful and honorable...

...will see more and more competition that they are not used to. There are countless unhappy closed source customers that are anxious to switch to open source products. Consequently, now programmers have the drive to develop it. Microsoft, with its monopoly of Windows, Office, and Internet Explorer, and its questionable business methods, is a major 'target'. Most people use Microsoft Windows, often because that is what everyone knows and mostly simply unaware of OS alternatives especially since Windows is pre-installed on their machine. MS has spent a lot of money on their marketing strategy and also created an environment that if people didn’t use MS problems would occur. Microsoft is even consciously breaking the law today in effort to maintain their monopoly position regardless of the enormous amounts of money it pays for lawyers and fines. Microsoft has already been fined for overpricing, trying to hijack Java, and many more offenses. Not only is Microsoft breaking the rules but they are sending in armed marshals for people in violation of software license. Ernie Ball, the world's leading maker of premium guitar strings, and previously a very happy MS customer, felt mistreated and swore off MS, to find out that went a lot easier than he...

...teacher named Ms. Stacey Bess who ends up teaching homeless shelter children at a school without a name. She finds the classroom to be not much more than a filthy shed with a few tattered books, one desk, several old mismatched chairs and a resident rat. Her students are sullen, unkempt, and even unruly and so are their parents all present a reality Stacey, nor any other teacher, were ever trained for. When the train passes along the building, the classroom shakes as if it’s about to give in, and then a resident rat comes out a hole in the floor making some kids to freak out and scream. The school head who hired her remains unreachable when she repeatedly tries to ask for help. But with these circumstances at hand, can an individual really make a difference? Knowing a one’s job that much tough, I believe that most of the people engage in that scenario would have already simply quit after one day’s terrible and melancholic experience. In fact, it had me shaken out my very nerves watching the movie. But as an eye-opener, this teacher — Ms. Stacey Bess, not only made a splendid decision to go back to the homeless shelter (maybe she’s quite reluctant to admit to herself her first job being failed without yet trying to give her very best), made an outstanding performance as she fought for her students, transformed their attitudes and even helped them to have the proper education they deserve. Originally told to just keep them under control and feed them a lunch, Ms. Stacey makes...

...This interview will provide a synopsis of Ms. Raspberry’s role as a social services lobbyist; discuss how her position affects social policy changes; will touch on how human service dollars are acquired, and what role that money plays in direct services; examine how Ms. Raspberry sees herself, as a policy changer or a funding advocate; and allow for her personal view on the future of human services. The Role of the Social Services Lobbyist The lobbyist plays a vital role in the equitable distribution of governmental funds to non-profit agencies that have a mission to assist those who have been oppressed or suffered some form of injury (legal or physical). The lobbyist must communicate to individual politicians, or to entire groups of legislators, exactly how and why funding dollars should be allocated to their clients (Raspberry, 2012). How Does the Lobbyist Affect Social Policy Changes Contrary to popular belief, the lobbyist is not always interested solely in governmental funding. There are many instances in which the lobbyist is hired by an organization, or a group of agencies for the purpose of changing or creating legislation. For example, Ms. Raspberry was hired to advocate with the New York State Legislature on behalf of the same-sex marriage bill. There was no funding attached to this vote, it was exclusively an issue related to social change and equality (Raspberry, 2012). Acquiring Funding & How it is Used Ms. Raspberry is hired by non-profit organizations...
