...parents who are business owners, I am a complete believer in that by taking excellent care of employees and providing outstanding customer value, good shareholder returns will inevitably follow. Howard Johnson also had an ideology that emphasized consistency and quality; however, he had no successor that he passed this along to. Upon research for a previous job I had working for a big hotel chain, I could find no indication that there was any ideological coaching within the company to instill ideas and principles. In the 70’s, Howard Johnson Jr. was running the company with a strictly financial focus and little emphasis on customers and employees, but making huge profits. “Howard Johnson had squeezed captive turnpike customers with high prices for bland food, shoddy accommodations, and slow, sullen service…” (Business Week, 1973). The company was eventually sold. I believe that core values are essential to an organization. Johnson Jr. had no trouble ignoring and...

...examples that you are well prepared to write detailed paragraphs about. Then, when you read the prompt you’re given on the day of the test, you can simply choose the examples from your repertoire that are most relevant to that particular topic. (Of course, this method isn’t fullproof; it may happen that you are unfortunate enough to get a topic that your prepared examples aren’t really appropriate for. If that’s the case, don’t try to force your examples to fit the topic. The process of coming up with these examples and writing several practice essays will also help you learn how to come up with new examples on the fly.) As you create your list, think of people and events from history, literature, current events, and your own experiences and observations. Choose things that you either already know a lot about or are willing to do some research on in order to have a wealth of details available to incorporate into your essay. A CD-ROM or DVD-ROM encyclopedia is probably the most appropriate source...

...Gladwell observes that social media based activism is not as creditable or reliable as it used to be during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. throughout the essay he compares the sit-in of four college boys from Greensboro, North Carolina to the modern activist done through Twitter and Facebook. In Gladwell’s view, “Where activists were once defined by their cause, they are now defined by their tools.” (404). In other words, Gladwell believes activists are associated more with their social media platforms than their causes. He refutes the idea of social media based activism because there is no centralized authority, weak-ties among the activists, and little to no discipline or strategy. Unlike Twitter and Facebook activism, traditional...

...Biosocial Development In general, young adults are considered to be in the prime of their lives. Average young adults are healthy, strong, and disease free. Typically, physical strength in adults continues to build until age 30, then it declines. Death from disease is rare at this age. Athletic Exceptions Athletic performance for most people peaks in early adulthood between the ages of 15 and 35. There are some athletes who are especially talented super stars who may peak at a later date. For example, eight-time Major League Baseball All Star pitcher Nolan Ryan was 46 years old when he pitched his last game. To give you an idea of the span of his career, he was the only pitcher to strike out Hank Aaron and Roger Maris as well as Ken Griffey, Jr. and Mark McGwire. Intimacy versus Isolation Young adults seek intimacy with others. This intimacy is not based solely on sexual intimacy, but also on emotional intimacy and companionship. Erikson believed this stage of development was meant to resolve the issues of intimacy versus isolation. He taught this is a time for young adults to make personal commitments to others as a parent or an intimate partner. If young adults do not develop intimate relationships with others, this can present a conflict that may leave young adults feeling isolated. Psychological Factors in Early Adulthood Freud taught that adulthood is a time for work and love. He believed life centers around career and relationships, leaving less time for anything else. Early adulthood...

...probation. It was terms of that supervision Hiller violated when he drunkenly caused a Jan. 16 crash. As a direct consequence of that, Hiller was charged with and pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. For that, he was sentenced to 10 days in jail, fined $525, and his driver's license was suspended for one year. Advocating for Hiller, attorney Mark Baserman Jr. said he helps to provide financial support and care for three children, an arrangement that would be complicated by his incarceration. Nevertheless, Judge Robert Rinfret said, “You have four kids. What are you doing driving a car drunk? When you do that, everybody on these roads is put at risk.” It was Hiller's fortune, Rinfret said, he was the only one injured in the crash. Holmes County Prosecutor Steve Knowling said anything less than a term of incarceration would be tantamount to a “paper punishment.” In was out of consideration to the children, Rinfret said, he rejected his “gut instinct” to impose a prison term, opting, instead, to send Hiller to the local jail, but not before making the observation Hiller has a history of alcohol-involved criminal activity. “There's got to be a consequence for what you did,” he said, adding, “Please don't make me regret (forgoing a prison sentence).” Hiller sustained incapacitating injuries after being thrown from his vehicle during the collision near the intersection of state Route 39 and County Road 201.

The researcher seems to have just observed the situation and based his hypothesis without quantified evidence. Its seems his hypothesis is an observation from a small group of people and it is elevating his perceptions that employees from North West tender CV ‘s with limited information when they apply for jobs in Gauteng. The statement lacks a systematic way of observation; it’s not derived from a controlled observation and might be difficult to replicate. The statement sounds to be very peer opinionated or tradition (Welman, 2011: 3). 1.2 Ethics in research This study will not adhere to the principles of research according to William (2011: 42-50) as below; * The researcher is not honest; she is copying the American study which could also amount to plagiarism. * She blames the managers prior to doing the research by saying that their work is below average and gives them an upfront fact that they experience burn out. * She has no respect...

...Rehabilitation Hector Rodriguez Jr CJA/492 December 3, 2011 Professor Jeffrey Newton Rehabilitation When one thinks of rehabilitation they refer to fixing something, such as when you are injured. You get rehabilitation to help you fix or strengthen your injury. When we look at corrections rehabilitation is fixing a person’s mind set. Showing them what is acceptable behavior and what is not. So when we look at this type of rehabilitation we want to reeducate someone to understand that criminal behavior is wrong. Rehabilitation has been around for a while, as early, as the 1800’s in prison. The prison was trying to succeed in showing the prisoners through labor and the use of discipline to show prisoners proper behavior. Early doctors and psychiatrist found that criminal behavior was a disease. They did studies that showed a certain person of a center genetic makeup, height, weight hair and eye color. These findings would be the description of a criminal; it would be found to be false. The true era of rehabilitation from the 1950’s to 1970, in the beginning it was not taken serious and was not part of the curriculum. There was nothing defined to give direction to state facilities and there was no guidance on how to develop a program. The first type of a rehabilitation program was penology; it was a scientific method to punish people. James V. Bennett believes in the individual treatment of criminals in the penal system based on observations and perceptions. The...

...1890-1940s 1 MODERNISM A term typically associated with the 20th century reaction against realism and romanticism within the arts. More generally, it is often used to refer to a 20th century belief in the virtues of science, technology, and the planned management of social change. MODERNITY A period extending from the late 16th and early 17th centuries (in the case of Europe) to the mid to late 20th century characterized by the growth and strengthening of a specific set of social practices and ways of doing things. It is often associated with capitalism and notions such as progress. 2 MODERNISM was a cultural movement which rebelled against Victorian mores. VICTORIANS emphasized nationalism and cultural absolutism, placed humans over and outside of nature, and showed a single way of looking at the world, and in absolute and clear-cut dichotomies between right/wrong, good/bad, and hero/villain. They saw the world as being governed by God's will, and that each person and thing in this world had a specific use. 3 MODERNISM was a cultural movement which rebelled against Victorian colonization views. VICTORIANS saw the world as neatly divided between ‘civilized’ and ‘savage’ peoples. The civilized were those from industrialized nations, cash-based economies, Protestant Christian traditions, and patriarchal societies; the savage were those from agrarian or huntergatherer tribes, barter-based economies, pagan or totemistic traditions, and matriarchal (or at...

...ENG 503: CLASS PRESENTATION ASSIGNMENT Report Slaughterhouse Five–Ch. 1-5 For Professor David Copeland By Bill Shelson Alex Tramov Amani Vandeen-Brown Duncan Watt The Truth about Free Will Throughout the majority of this short novel we are introduced to characters who go through horrific situations that affect them physically and more importantly psychologically. Billy Pilgrim our main character is given the curse of travelling back and forth through time seeing his life events and reliving them as well. He loses control through this ordeal because he has no choice in what moments of his life that he is allowed to go back to. Billy also does not have the physical power to change any events that he is not fond of or prevent any future occurrences that he wishes had not happened. Billy is stripped of his Free Will on many occasions and eventually learns how to cope with it. The lack of control Billy endures over the experience of his life teaches him to truly appreciate the good moments he’s lived and to accept the inevitability of events. This story is about a man who witnesses and overcomes horrible situations but becomes aware that life will always throw things at you that are not preventable. In the first five chapters of Slaughter House Five our main character Billy finds his situation becoming increasingly dire in the war and beginning to experience his life out of order. "Billy is a spastic in time, has no control over where he is going next, and the trips...

...RUNNING HEAD: Observational Observational Learning: More then Trial-and-Error Calvin Smith, Jr. Middlesex County College PSY-123 3/6/2012 Introduction Observational: based on observation or experience. Merriam-Webster (2012) Learning: A systematic, relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs through experience. King, L. A. (2010). But what is Observational Learning? According to Albert Bandura, observational learning, also called imitation or modeling, is learning that occurs when a person observes and imitates behavior. King, L. A. (2010). This process, in theory, simplifies learning and eliminates the potentially hazardous and tedious trial-and-error periods in other forms of learning. I have found this to be very true in my own life in the constant teachings of my 8-year-old son. Summary of Theory Bandura’s Model of Observational Learning applies 4 elements to effectively achieve learning; Attention, Retention, Motor Reproduction and Reinforcement. The belief here is that through these elements a person can essentially be given the experience step by step and hence learn from observing someone else’s actions and advice. The first process that must occur is attention. In order for a person to be able to imitate an action they must attend to what the model is saying or doing. For example, if you attend a cooking class and find yourself texting through the beginning instructions you are likely to miss...
