...Paulett Esteban 05/22/14 Class: 802 Unit 4 Performance Task N.S.L.A. Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” In an effective team everyone collaborates to become successful. Joshua Davis the author of “La Vida Robot” and Walter Isaacson, author of an excerpt from Steve Jobs share similar views on what makes an effective team. Both authors believe an effective team consists of individuals who have distinctive and noteworthy skills that lead the team to success. In “La Vida Robot,” Davis describes the different skills each student in the team has, making the team successful. Davis starts by describing Lorenzo as he states, “Lorenzo had grown up rebuilding car engines with his brother and cousin. Now he was ready to build something on his own.” Lorenzo’s expertise in mechanics is important because it makes him a valuable member of the team. In addition, Davis describes Christian as the brains of the team. Christian’s intelligence is shown in the first meeting of the team when he states, “We should use glass flotation foam.”Christian suggests a plan for building the robot giving him a role as the engineer of the group. Davis also describes Oscar as the “born leader”...

...Steve Jobs and Jesus’ Prophets lived thousands of years apart yet in their particular lives they accomplished many outstanding feats. Even though the Prophets and Steve Jobs had very different occupations, we can pull out qualities and ethics that they both shared. Steve Jobs began his love for technology at a very young age, working with his father on appliances and things that needed fixing around the house. He would work in his garage with his father learning about the mechanical world. It was from a young age that Steve Jobs had been instilled with a unique passion for technology. Just like the Prophets, Steve Jobs would face trials and tribulations that would put anyone on the edge of sanity. The difficulties these men faced in their...

...Steve Jobs 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech Analysis Essay In his speech, Jobs explores the crucial role of failure in finding success, specifically in the situations when he shows that it takes hard work, deliberate practice, and the ability to learn from failure and to persevere. The first point that Jobs makes, is that to be successful, you have to work hard. During the commencement speech, Jobs shares that, “If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do,” (7). Though Jobs admits to having dropped out of the class he was originally attending and ‘dropping in’ on a new one the decision he made was one that, in the long run, furthered his career. By making the decision, and putting in the work to go through the calligraphy class, Jobs ended up creating the future of typefaces on the personal computer. By putting himself and his career on the line, Jobs tells the Stanford graduating class of 2005, “Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future,” (8). Jobs let his actions decide his fate for his career, and at the time, he didn’t know that the decisions he was making would land him where it did. It took years of hard work for him to get to where he ended up, at the top of an internationally known company. Jobs later went on to say, “We worked...

...A Pocket Guide to EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) for Addiction Treatment, Self-Help and Recovery How to use EFT for relief from addictive cravings, withdrawal symptoms, anxiety, pain and upsetting memories Masha Bennett “Addictive behaviour is the mindbody’s normal and natural response to the pathology of sobriety” (Gregory Bateson) What is EFT? The Emotional Freedom Techniques are a group of brief therapeutic interventions and self-help tools, sometimes known as “acupuncture without needles” or “tapping therapy”. EFT brings together the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, neuroscience and cognitive-behavioural therapy by combining stimulation of a series of acupressure points with cognitive restructuring (specially worded affirmations), typically leading to shifts in thought patterns and relief from both physical tension and excess negative emotions. Table 1. Uses of EFT in addiction recovery Reducing / eliminating addictive cravings Alleviating withdrawal symptoms Managing anxiety, fear, grief, anger Relieving physical pain and tension Modifying unhelpful beliefs Healing past trauma Enhancing sense of control and self-efficacy Reducing risk of relapse Day-to-day emotional & stress management How does EFT work? There are several explanations of how EFT works. The creator of the technique and many practitioners attribute its effect to balancing the energy in meridians, as in acupuncture, in relation to a specific problem. Some neurological...

...I began my job shadowing process by talking face to face, and asking permission from Roxy Moorman, a friend of my mom's. She’s a preschool teacher at the the old Webster Elementary School building in Oskaloosa, located at 508 South 7th Street. I job shadowed on January 12, 2015 from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. To become a preschool teacher, you must take a few courses of training. First, you need a early childhood degree. After you complete this degree, you must take CPR, first aid, and bloodborne pathogens training. These trainings go over specific situations, and helps prepare you in case of an emergency. Her job duties require her to teach younger children, and make sure they are engaged in projects. While teaching, she must check on assessment of the students learning. She must also watch kids during recess time, to make sure they are safe and playing. Other duties include communicating with parents about behaviour, sickness, and learning. This communication also includes parent-teacher conferences, and open house for the preschool. Salary ranges for preschool teachers vary by position. A yearly...

...I went to Promedica Monroe Reginal Hospital for my job shadow. The job shadow host name was Heather Fleemon. The career I job shadowed was a pediatric nurse. Heather arrives at work at 11:00 a.m and opens up the pediatric room. After that, she just waits until she has something to do. In the morning there isn’t a lot of kids that get sick. She makes sure that the rooms are stocked for incoming patients. She works from peds to trauma, but mostly pediatric. When she have problems, she turns to her fellow co-worker that works in the same department with her, or she asks the other doctors and nurses that are stationed on her floor. She works inside of a hospital where all they wear are scrubs and they are not allowed to wear visible tattoos. There was not a lot of activities going on because it was early in the morning, but when there was, a man came in with a stomach virus and they have to hurry and treat them. Also, there was a baby with a diaper rash and they prescribed him a cream for it. It was not very exciting. The nurses literally sit...

...both Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams at the College of Charleston). I selected job shadowing because it is a very useful activity that allows a person to explore a career that they are interested in by spending time with a professional working in that field. It provided me more insight rather than just reading a job description or even asking an employee to describe what they do. While job shadowing, I was able to ask questions and experience the trials, triumphs, and normal day-to-day activities that Marc Pronto, Candice Jackson, and Amanda Taylor might experience while working in their jobs. I was able to experience how the professional approaches the job, the necessary social cooperation, standard operating procedures, and the tools that I need in order to perform the job successfully. Normally, job shadowing usually lasts only a day, but in...

...Proofreading and Editing is really important to make an essay strong and not difficult to understand. Proofreading always comes last when editing an essay to catch errors and to take of any unnecessary parts. Grammar and punctuations is really important when it comes to re reading an essay. It is very easy to make a silly mistake while typing in a hurry. At times when typing an essay it might sound correctly, but when re reading you catch many errors. I have learned that grammar and punctuation is really important not just for writing essays, but also for job applications, job resumes, job requirements, etc. You can avoid misunderstand your reader if the essay is confusing because of grammar mistakes. It is very easy to miss a mistake that...

...Deborah L. Rhode has written several books based on race and gender. She wrote one essay titled “Why Are Looks the Last Bastion of Discrimination”. In this essay Rhode states that workers have been discriminated based on their attractiveness, also individuals seeking employment have also been declined a job or have been given a job based of their looks. In the essay Rhode argues that there should be a law established in the United States that is against looks discrimination. According to Rhode, the United States has made many laws in the past years to protect groups of people that are being discriminated based on sex, religion, race, or disability, yet there is no official law protecting employees that are being discriminated on their looks. Since there is no law that protects a person from this kind of discrimination, it is allowing corporations to discriminate an employment seeker, or a current employee based on his or her appearance. Rhode claims that companies discriminate people on their looks, because attractiveness is “job-related” and they want a person with an attractive appearance to represent their company. Deborah L. Rhode states that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and the fact that a boss has the power to say who is “attractive” or “unattractive” really gives employees a disadvantage in their job. This limits the person to show how good they can turn out to be in a certain job. Rhode insists that discrimination based on looks is just as bad as racial or gender...

I didn’t realize that I tend to write in a passive tense every other sentence until now. I also, often, used, too many comma splices, which butchered the flow of my writing. I sometimes missed the MLA format details which lowered my scores early on. After I submitted the last essay, I was glad that I didn’t sign up for English IV. I enjoyed some papers...

One of the reasons for that is the shocking fact that the poor often pay more taxes, relatively, than do the rich. In Britain, for example, “the tax burden of the top fifth of earners has fallen from 37 percent to 35 percent in the last twenty years. In contrast, the tax burden of the bottom fifth has risen from 31 percent to 38 percent.” The other reason for social inequality nationally is imperfect income distribution. Thus, whereas 23.5 percent of all American workers received only poverty level wages in 1973, this had risen to 28.6 percent by 1997. Looked at another way, real wages for relatively low-paid workers fell by 22 percent between 1973 and 1995, and 10 percent for middle-range workers. Low-paid jobs grew by 22 percent in New York City between 1993 and 2000—four times as fast as jobs paying at least $25,000. From 1979 to 1995, 80 percent of jobs created were...

...Joshua Zemsky Inside Job Extra Credit First of all, I think it is extremely comical that man with a net worth of $65 million (Matt Damon) is going to narrate a film that claims that the smartest men in the world are too greedy and are over-compensated. I do not believe I have ever seen such a closed minded, uneducated propagandas film before. This film was really just a way to bash Wall Street. It was not very viable and many “facts” were skewed. It was made in a very intelligent way though, to make what they were saying seem like they were good facts and statistics. One thing that really stood out when I was watching was when they were talking about the Bush tax cuts and how rich people saved more money from those cuts then poor people. They do not explain percentages though. For example, say person A makes $10 and person B makes $100. If person A saves 10% of that, he is saving $1. If person B saves 5%, less than 10%, he saves $5. So he is saving more total money, but not as much of a percentage of his income. That is a HUGE failure of the movie to identify and state that. Those are not facts that the filmmaker wants to show though, because it will help to disprove his argument. The movie talks about how poor de-regulation is for Wall Street. Why though? Because there have been a few setbacks? Overall, has Wall Street and the financial industry not been extremely prosperous? And has the United States economy as a whole not been extremely prosperous...

...Analysis of Formal Essay The essay “The Enduring Appeal of Agatha Christie” does a brilliant job on describing the uniqueness of Agatha Christie’s novels. The author of this essay really keeps their readers engaged by using detailed examples from Christie’s novels. Starting with the introduction, readers are introduced to some amazing works of fiction written by Canadian authors. Referring to Canadian authors gives the reader an idea about topic of the essay. For example the phrases, “Popular literature abounds with examples, ranging from the controversial work of Dan Brown to horrific work of Stephen King. On the beach, on the subway, people escape into the world of these authors.” helps the reader infer that essay will be on a talented author. From here the essay starts to be more specific. A thesis statement is added at the end of the introductory paragraph stating the overall argument. The author states a strong thesis by giving three clear reasons as to why readers appreciate Agatha Christie’s novels.
