...Today, I went to library to listen Linda Galindo speech. I heard that she was going to talk about how people be accountable, I have no idea why people could be accountable, is she going to talk about the value of people or not? This topic makes me in, I want to know what specific she can teach us. Actually, she made me think of what people real value is after her wonderful speech. In Linda Galindo’s speech, she pointed out that the only true accountability is "personal accountability" and the only way to achieve it is to take responsibility for the outcomes of your choices, behaviors and actions. There was one example she mentioned in the speech: someone did a great job in the interview, he showed all his talents to interviewer, people would considered him as bright and smart person, however, he is unworthy because he was not doing his job, or finish his job sloppy, doing something inappropriate at work, talked offensive to coworkers. The people like him, it is not accountable. In a company, when we look at someone and check if they are accountable or not, we are not only looked at how much he can work, but also his personality. I learned that People who are high personal accountability can contribute more to the company, since company are not need to expend extra sources to control and regulate them, they know what are doing and what they supposed to do. To the contrary, company which has abandon low personal accountability, it required spends more sources on them to control...

...Ethics - Linda Pastan In ethics class so many years ago our teacher asked this question every fall: if there were a fire in a museum which would you save, a Rembrandt painting or an old woman who hadn't many years left anyhow? Restless on hard chairs caring little for pictures or old age we'd opt one year for life, the next for art and always half-heartedly. Sometimes the woman borrowed my grandmother's face leaving her usual kitchen to wander some drafty, half imagined museum. One year, feeling clever, I replied why not let the woman decide herself? Linda, the teacher would report, eschews the burdens of responsibility. This fall in a real museum I stand before a real Rembrandt, old woman, or nearly so, myself. The colors within this frame are darker than autumn, darker even than winter--the browns of earth, though earth's most radiant elements burn through the canvas. I know now that woman and painting and season are almost one and all beyond saving by children. A New Poet Finding a new poet is like finding a new wildflower out in the woods. You don't see its name in the flower books, and nobody you tell believes in its odd color or the way its leaves grow in splayed rows down the whole length of the page. In fact the very page smells of spilled red wine and the mustiness of the sea on a foggy day - the odor of truth and of lying. And the words are so familiar, so strangely new, words you almost wrote yourself, if only in...

...As we can see, art and religion is present in the relic, “The Golden Tara”. The religious culture is manifested by a sculpture, or an idol, showing the artistic capacity of the civilization many years ago. This practice is still present in our time today, similar to the paintings and sculptures of many diverse religions. The discovery of these ancient tools is a proof of technology being used and developed long ago. We already had these basic tools long before we were discovered by different races. These also depict our ancestor’s simple standard of living. Having these tools proves that our ancestors were already looking for advancement in the way they live, and as they develop with time, even more technology is urbanized and more knowledge is unveiled. The practice of Trade has been long present since before the coming of the Spaniards. Evidence of this practice are the Chinese ceramics that were uncovered from some places in Cebu. Trade has always been a major player in the economy, and trading doesn’t only mean exchange of goods, but also exchange of knowledge. Warfare has always played a role in many societies. Most of them are caused by conflicting tribal affairs, protection of power, and ownership of land. In some places of Cebu, some traces of war artifacts are found, proving that warfare was present in the bygone times. Some tools and weapons were excavated and it can also be seen that warfare was of great importance during their...

...I found a video posted on YouTube by Linda Spencer, Harvard career advisor. Spencer describes the following strategies to feel more confident in an interview: 1. Do your research. 2. Practice your responses. 3. Make a good first impression. 4. Prepare for different types of interviews. 5. Determine next steps and follow through on them. The following is what I learned from Spencer’s video. First, I learned that the research is not only perform in the industry doing the interview, but it is also beneficial to research on oneself. The qualifications, the needs, and weaknesses are a good starting point to make sure one has the necessary to obtain the job and to improve on that job. Consequently, practice responses whenever possible before an interview....

...need to grow their companies into bigger businesses that can employ more people—the best antipoverty program of all. —Thomas L. Friedman, from his book, The World is Flat (version 3.0) It was July 2007, and Linda Rottenberg, cofounder and CEO of Endeavor—a nonprofit dedicated to transforming the economies of emerging markets by identifying and supporting high-impact entrepreneurs—was preparing for a quarterly meeting with the global board of directors. She leafed through a copy of the 2007 Impact Report, checking over the newly published figures one more time. In its 10-year history, Endeavor had selected 272 promising entrepreneurs in eight countries, after screening 15,500 candidates, and then helped them develop and grow their businesses through ongoing mentorship and guidance. Rottenberg was proud of the organization’s accomplishments, but she also knew there was no time for complacency. With aggressive goals for international expansion, the board would definitely want to hear an update on Rottenberg’s growth strategy. The directors had also asked to discuss the recent surge in corporate partnership opportunities and long-term plans for funding Endeavor’s main operations in New York. GENESIS OF THE IDEA The idea for Endeavor came to its founders, Linda Rottenberg and Peter Kellner, by way of their experience with Ashoka. Bill Drayton founded Ashoka in 1980 to help support nonprofits around the world. He saw the power of these organizations and believed the...

...In the play, Linda Loman is a kind and caring wife of Willy. She is a type of character where she refuses to see beyond Willy’s lies and protect him instead. I think that Linda tries to understand Willy but at times she doesn’t get the big picture of Willy’s life. She doesn’t know about his finances, job, or his affair with another woman. In the play, at times I would say Linda is a submissive wife and mother. Linda is somewhat like a submissive wife because she doesn’t know why she defends her husband’s behavior even when he lashes out at her. For example, in the play, Willy and Biff get into a fight and Linda tries to defend both sides but Willy tells Linda to shut up and doesn’t let her talk. I think that Linda lets Willy yell at her that way because she has always been treated like this by Willy. Another thing that lets the reader know that Linda is a caring mother is that she expresses concern over Biffs’ poor grades in math. She also wants to make Biff change and be a better person by not trying to be aggressive around Willy and to not have a tendency to steal from others. For example, unlike Willy when Biff steals a football from the school’s locker room, Willy tells Biff to go return it. However, Willy gives in and tells Biff to keep it to practice and that the football coach won’t mind. When I think of if Linda has a realistic view of her sons, I see that it is not realistic. Linda wants her sons to do well in school and give attention to their father. However, Biff...

Title – The word “ethics” is usually used in context with society and how the youth has close to none. I believe this poem might be a self-realization journey where either the author, or the protagonist find the meaning of the word through a physical experience or a journey into their own soul Paraphrase – The author is thinking of a memory many years ago when she was still in school. She was in ethics class, and every year, around fall, her teacher would ask all the students the...

...The case originated back in 1950. In the 1950s segregation laws in many states prohibited African American children and white children from attending the same schools. Linda Brown, an African American girl, could not attend a less-crowded white school a few blocks from her home in Topeka, Kan. So instead, each and every single day little Linda brown and her sister had to walk through a dangerous railroad switchyard just to get to the bus stop for their long ride across town to their all-black elementary school. Even though there was a school just a few blocks away, it was only for whites only. The path of the case started from Linda brown and her family believing that the segregated school systems violated the 14th amendment,...
