...| Hearing Dogs for The Deaf | National University | Professor Cortez | David Years | June 2014 | | Dogs are usually known as a men’s (and women’s) best friend. They provide a strong bond/relationship that sometimes other humans cannot provide. After a hard day’s work your dog greets you at the door with a smile or a bark of happiness every time. Having grown up with many dogs and currently owning one now, I understand what it is to come home to a partner that truly loves you unconditionally. However, could you imagine that same partner caring for your safety every day? Imagine a life without the use of your ears, imagine not being able to hear someone yell out to you when you can’t hear when danger is close. Hearing dogs have been around in organizations such as “dogs for the deaf”, have been around since 1977 (dogs for deaf, 2014). This study will provide information such as what classifies a dog as a “Hearing Dog”, the training that it involves and most importantly, how one of human’s best friends assists the deaf community every day. Hearing dogs alert their owners to everyday sounds that individual’s with hearing loss cannot. Simple acts such as the door bell ringing, the phone or a fire alarm allow individuals that cannot hear the sense of freedom and self-confidence. These dogs are allowed to travel anywhere with their owner after going through sometimes difficult training to ensure they are legally qualified to assist the deaf. The main function...

...Natural Vs Artificial Selection in dogs that has been altered to suit a person’s need Introduction Dogs exist in both wild and domestic set-up whereby they vary in shape and size. This means that there are different breeds of dogs resulting from artificial and natural selection. Each existing species was created separately but they can be modified by the environment. However, these changes are limited hence cannot produce a new species. Artificial selection is whereby a species of a particular plant or animal is modifies by breeders into a distinct breed with unique physical attributes. The offspring obtained from each breeding process may exhibit minimal differences that only a breeder can identify. The aim of this breeding process is to breed an offspring with desired physical attributes, which is then allowed to breed further. An offspring with undesired physical attributes is not allowed to breed. The breeding process is repeated until the small differences observed increase gradually. This represents the process of artificial selection (Venemma). Natural selection represents a similar process that occurs in nature. In a natural setup, organisms normally vary hence reproduce at a specific geometric rate. Survival of these organisms depends on adaptation to the natural environment (Pollan 23). This creates a division whereby organisms that are environmentally suited will reproduce and those not suited will die. This is a resemblance of artificial selection, but this natural...

...RAISING MY CHILDREN Children are gifts from God to their parents. Children make a home a family. They are the inspirations of building dreams and eventually fulfilling them to come true. But what if children that parents used to mold to become good, if not the best, come out different to what they expect them to be? Should the blame be put on the parents, who want nothing but the best for them or to the children who push everything they want? It is a question that can be answered only when the right time comes. I am only thirty-two years old and already a mother to four kids. All of them are girls. I was only seventeen when I gave birth to my eldest Bernadette whom we fondly called Badette. She is now fourteen years old and in third year high school. I remember when she was still a baby, she was always sick. She got asthma when she was just eight months old. I barely had knowledge about taking care of a baby, a sick child for that matter, since I was very young then. It was hard for me those days. She never outgrew it but it rarely attacks now. During her childhood, taking care of her was easier. She was a very courteous girl and until now she is. She barely answers without “po” or “opo”. Until she was in grade school, I seldom encountered difficulty raising her. It was only when she entered high school that I started having a hard time coping with her. We always compromise on problems regarding her failing grades. But it happens only during the first grading period, she always...

The children should have more self-sufficiency and have them develop decision making skills. As this ties along, parents, to be more specific, parents that are middle to high class families that have expectations for their children. Children, teens, adults is also an audience. The range of the ages don’t varty, since we were/are kids and will probably have one in the future. Getting some hints from her TED Talk can help with my future self, knowing how to build up a strong and independant child. Some other can also gather the information for a self reflection, how they had acted or had done.

Kids these days seem to be in more stress due to the academic grades, universities/colleges and jobs, all of these can refer to overparenting. Choosing your own road with many varieties can release the stress, not being bombarded with the parents expectations.

She let them free, making their own decisions. Lythcott-Haims has argued her point towards parents doing too much for their kids, and they should slow down on their expectations, and...

...Organizational Commitment and Communication - Google Com/530 How can an organization be successful? What does it take? There are many factors that make an organization successful. Google is a great example of an organization that meet the following factors: great leadership, sources of power, motivational theories, and commitment of the workforce. The most important factor is leadership. Bonita C. Stewart, is the vice-president of U.S. sales for Google. According to Stewart, “It is very important, especially today, to lead from behind, and to inspire risk taking as well as innovative thinking. It takes courage to be able to do that. But at the same time, you have to have a depth of knowledge and expertise” (Chappell, 2011, para. 2). It is very important to have discipline to achieve your goals. At Google they have a flat structure rather than a bottom up hierarchy; they believe everybody can come up with great ideas. Having a flat structure makes every employee feel equally important. Eric Schmidt said in an interview, “Google is run by its culture and not by me….We operate under the assumption that everyone including me is extremely dispensable, because ultimately Google is bigger than the individuals who make it. Google is about a mission” (Carlson, 2009, para 3). Organizations use different sources of power that affect group and organizational communication. There are five sources: expert power, positional power, reward power, coercive...
