...The area where I live is inhabited by people belonging to different trade and professions. Some of them are the government servant. The others are school and college teachers, doctors, etc. However, the majority is blue-collar workers. They are all patient and hardworking. They are working hard to meet the needs of their family and trying to build a better future for themselves and their children. I remember too well a five-year-old little boy with wide eyes and curly hair living next to my door for a very long time. I once asked him what he wanted to be when he got older, he said he would be a good doctor because his mom told him he could help the poor when they were sick. I was amazed because kids his age would rather want to be a superman or hero and it kept me thinking for so long. It is what parents teach their son that affects his life and attitude towards surrounding people, and he can be a better man if he learns to love others instead of being competitive and superficial. That is how Vietnamese people raise their kids, not only to introduce how hard life is to them but also teach them how to survive and be helpful to the society In the other hand, Viet Nam has close family ties. Each and every family often gets together even when their children have their own family. We hold reunions during birthday, anniversaries, Christmas day, and New Year's day. We consult with family members regarding family problems or tragedies, which made every member felt they are not alone...

...Leaving Medication Unsecured Susan Money HLT 317V 12/13/2014 Ms. Lemke Introduction Unsecured medication is harmful to human life but can be extremely dangerous especially to innocent children. The fatalities or health complications attached to unsecured medication cannot be overlooked and there is a growing need to prevent medication errors like leaving medicine unsecured (Malloch & Porter, 2009). Leaving medication unsecured mostly happens accidentally and has dire consequences. As a result, this research will focus on the imperative need for parents with toddlers to store medications and poisonous products safely. The challenge of leaving unsecured drugs at home is larger than car crashes today. More than 2100 kids engage in behavior such as accidental abuse of unsecured medication for the first time (Betar, 2012). Accidental use of drugs and wrong medication by toddlers is a result of unsecured drugs lying somewhere in the house. Literature review Unintentional poisonings at home are a major cause of fatal or nonfatal injuries in children aged 0-24months. Reports from studies carried out in 2003 showed that 49.6% of all poisonings exposure reported in the USA occurred amongst school going children. 3 out of 1000annual poisoning incidents in Dutch children aged between one and two was as a result of leaving medication unsecured at home. This number was much higher as compared to children from other age groups. In the study, it has come...

...3331 Critical Analysis Paper Christopher Gouty BUS311: Business Law I (BNJ1424A) Instructor: Diana Walker June 23, 2014 Critical Analysis Paper There was a friend of mine that was in a rental agreement on an apartment that he lived in. He signed the contract knowing the five element of the contract. He had the intention to create a legal relationship, he understood the offer, he gave an acceptance, he knew the consideration, and they both met the capacity of the contract. Knowing that he had signed a rental agreement to live in the space provided, but where he was working at closed down and he was in a city that he did not know. The only reason he was up there was for that job, so he went back to his home town leaving the apartment. He knew that he broke the contract by leaving without notice and not paying rent when he was not living there. His intentions were to live there while he was working on managing a store for a friend that had recently started a company. By him going to the rental office of the apartment complex he knew that he had the intention of drawing up a contract with the managing group of the complex. He knew that if he were to break the contract that he would have to pay for the months that the apartment was not rented out to another tenant, along with fees fixing up the apartment to get ready to rent out again. “A contract is a legally enforceable agreement. As this definition implies, a contract comes into existence from the...

...Context Sentence: People in Veracruz, Mexico are explaining why they feel the need to help immigrants who pass through their state. POINT OF VIEW Analysis: The point that Mexicans should not send Central Americans back to their home country if they themselves “don’t want to be stopped from going into the United States..” addresses the hypocrisy of Mexican citizens and officials who try in vain to prevent Central Americans from venturing onto their lands. Immigration is a major issue, and like Americans, Native-born Mexicans feel that immigrants (Central Americans) are using up their resources, and bringing crime into their country. The reader can see that as much as the Mexican government wants to stop immigration, nothing will change until they regulate how many of their own people are illegally traveling to other places. This is significant because Enrique is one of the many immigrants who are treated cruelly and repeatedly deported back to Central America after trying to cross through Mexico. Context Sentence: Enrique is on his way to meet his mom (Lourdes) for the first time in over 10 years. While traveling, he takes in the scenery that passes before he reaches his destination...

...UTS, as well as researching and gaining a greater insight into the matter I can state that my hypothesis is in fact that Australia's housing market is inconsistent with that of an efficient market, although it cannot be labelled as a ‘bubble' as a bubble only truly exists once it pops (Duke, 2015). In an efficient housing market, an increase in the demand for property will see an increase supply. Although as seen in Australia over the past decade, this increased demand has far exceeded the supply and driven prices up drastically. Analysis done by the ANZ has indicated that although NSW is on track to construct 56,000 new homes next financial year, demand is expected to grow to 63,000 leaving a shortage of supply by 7,000 and a total housing shortage of 99,137 in NSW alone (Irvine, 2016). This housing shortage is causing frustrating for aspiring first home buyers like myself as prices continue to increase. The Federal Governments initial First home buyers grant of $15,000 for those purchasing property under $750,000 has only led to a further increase in median housing prices driven up by that amount. Along with these rising housing prices, mortgage debt has increased at a much higher rate than inflation, GDP, rent prices and incomes with the stats showing since between 1996 and 2014 household debt had surpassed inflation at a rate of 1000% (Chung,...

My group, management, had the second highest rating at a 2.78 and I felt that we were fairly critical of the different strengths and weaknesses for the company. The groups that pertained to a more financial aspect like finance and accounting seemed to have lower scores, which were not as far above the average for utilization of resources internally. This seems interesting because many companies use resources outside their company to assist them in correcting financial problems. Also, there were a few strengths and weaknesses that every group mentioned in their matrix and they were: Steve Jobs leaving and then returning(W), large increase in inventory(W), products are globalized(S). It was interesting to see that Steve Jobs leaving and then returning was on everyone groups list because with out him these last few years Apple Inc. would probably not be where it is at today. The only downside to this is that there seems to be this great dependency on one person in...

...Juliette Gordon Low: Analysis of Development By: Mary E. Dean May 3, 2014 Lifespan Development Walden University Spring Quarter 2014 Prof. V. Salzer Juliette Gordon Low is most recognized for founding and running what is now known as Girl Scouts of America. Her insight and forward thinking for her time led to this astonishing achievement but what did it take for her to get there, who or what influenced her to rise above the conventional thinking of her time and forge to such great heights? In this analysis I hope to discover answers to that question while exploring age old concepts like nature versus nurture and comparing such development theories like Erickson’s stages of development and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Juliette Gordon Low, or Daisy as she was known in her childhood, was born October 31, 1860 into a life of privilege in Savannah, GA. Juliette was the second oldest of six children. Her father William Washington Gordon was born in the south and strongly believed in the true southern traditions such as owning slaves and that the South should succeed from the Union. While her mother, Eleanor Lytle Kinzie whose family helped to found the city of Chicago and believed intensely in abolition. These opposing views caused much anguish for Juliette’s mother during the Civil War and would play a strong influence on the family dynamics as Juliette grew up. While her parents described her has having a sweet personality and caring disposition her sibling...

...------------------------------------------------- Top of FormBottom of Form | Journal of International Business and Economics, Dec 2011 v11 i4 p142(5) An analysis on the long-term effects of rural labor migration in China based on the Markov chain method. Huang Ningyang; Charles Corcoran; Gong Meng. Author's Abstract: COPYRIGHT 2011 International Academy of Business and Economics The migration of rural labor to non-agricultural sectors helps solve three agriculture issues in China: dated agrarian methods, an overpopulation of rural areas, and an excess of supply of farm labor. But a large population and fast economic development may impede the process. The proportion of rural labor is large and the labor force participation rate is high, while education levels are low. Further, the elasticity of employment is low, while economic growth is much faster than rural labor employment growth. Based on questionnaire data investigating rural labor markets, and utilizing the Markov Chain Method, a forecast is made of when the rural labor shift will stabilize, along with the three employment states' probabilities: (1) working and residing on the home farm, (2) leaving home but working near their hometown, and (3) leaving home and working far from their hometowns. It is projected that the rural labor shift will stabilize in 24 years. The probabilities of the three employment states mentioned above will be 5.9%, 45.4%, and 51.2%, respectively. These findings may contribute to policy decisions...

...we will explore concepts that will formulate these judgments. We also have to include appropriate probability concepts that will help limit uncertainty in certain decisions. This paper will disclose the decision to reside in the tri-state area with the probability of destructive hurricanes occurring. Next this paper will reveal concepts and the outcome from the statistical analysis that was used to determine the final decision and, the tradeoffs between accuracy and precision required by various probability concepts. As a final point, this paper will demonstrate the effects the decision had on the data provided and the decision that was ultimately made. Probability Concepts and Application Hurricane Sandy hit Atlantic City, New Jersey on October 29, 2012. A 900-mile wide storm, Sandy affected the entire northeastern United States with devastating winds, rain and floods. New Jersey and New York suffered the worst from the super storm leaving thousands of people without power for days. People living in this area were not prepared or expected the storm to devastate the area as it did leaving homes and personal belongings destroyed. So, what is the probability of New Jersey and New York becoming destroyed again by treacherous hurricanes such as Sandy? First we need to look at how often hurricanes of this nature occur in the tri-state area and the variables that contribute to them. According to "Think Progress" (2012), “A strong ridge of high pressure parked itself over Greenland beginning...

Provide in text citations within each response and references at the end of the worksheet that follow APA guidelines. 0. Each response is worth 5 points, and each response must have a minimum of 250 words. Linda Hirschman and Pamela Stone present two opposing opinions as to why women are opting out of work. After reading both sides answer the following questions. 1. Summarize the main points of Linda Hirschman’s argument. In order for women not to “opt out” of the workplace, where does Hirschman feel that most change (home or the workplace) needs to take place and why? Linda Hirschman believes that there is, “the belief that women are responsible for child-rearing and homemaking was largely untouched by decades of workplace feminism (parg.6).” She goes on in Homeward Bound to talk about how women and men are taught that women are conditioned. She says that both sexes say that women are meant to stay home with the children. This is also where she talks about the most change that is needed in society. She believes that it isn’t just a woman’s responsibility. She also goes on to talk about feminism not being radical enough. She uses statistics of the rate of women with degrees leaving the work place...
