...This summer, I had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Louisville, Kentucky with my church. There were nine high school kids that ventured, along with two chaperones, and our church’s youth pastor. We left on a Friday and drove two vans down to Saint Louis, Missouri, where we stayed in a hotel right across the road from Six Flags. *On Saturday morning, we took a shuttle over to the amusement park and rode as many roller coasters and water rides as our bodies could handle. To end the day, we cooled off in the water park and stuffed ourselves full of pasta at an Italian restaurant downtown. As I lay in bed that first night, I had no idea what was in store for me during the next six days. Sunday morning we all attended church and continued to drive the remaining five hours to Louisville. Upon arriving, we found out that there were three church groups on this mission trip. At first, everyone was shy and clung to who they knew, but this didn’t last long. On day one, we received our small groups, which included a mix of high schoolers from all three...

...advantage of all and freedom for anyone to hold any position (Bankston, III, 2010). The Research College of Nursing (2009) further accepts social justice as “fair treatment regardless of economic status, ethnicity, age, citizenship, disability, or sexual orientation.” These both sound much like the first truth in the Declaration of Independence; “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” (ushistory.org., 2013). However, social injustice in America and around the globe is an ever present problem. I have personally witnessed in the hospital setting how the less fortunate are treated with disrespect and many times disregard. Social justice looks great on paper but will it ever be a reality? According to the mission statement of the World Trade Organization (WTO) (2013), the WTO primary purpose is to assist world trade flow with minimal undesirable side effects. The WTO is responsible for monitoring international trade contracts to keep such trade within specified limits (World Trade Organization, 2013). Between 1986 – 1994 the WTO established the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) whose main premise is to monitor the rights of individual ideas and creativity (WTO, 2013). Since patents fall in the category of individual ideas and creativity, TRIPS job is to ensure that patents are protected when trade is involved. The issue of balancing...

...Marketing Research Paper Corrina Mitchell MKT/421 September 10, 2012 Roxanne Booth Marketing Research Paper Competition is the better part of business. The level of competition experienced by a company depends upon the area of business that company operates in. If there is more than one company providing the same goods or services they will be each other’s competitor. Competition could be based on the operating style of a company or how merchandise is made, and competition will always have the consumer in mind. Marketing managers use competitive intelligence when creating new marketing strategies. New businesses like Kudler Fine Foods need to identify the niche, and customer base that will be appealed to. Kudler Fine Foods is an upscale, specialty grocery store located in the San Diego metropolitan area. Kudler Fine Foods or Kudler’s, are a relatively new business having only opened its doors in 1998. The mission of Kudler’s is to offer each customer a delightful and pleasing shopping experience, (Kudler Fine Foods, 2012). Kudler Fine Foods operates a website for interested customers who wish to obtain information about Kudler’s.

...SUCCESSES IN TECHNOLOGY Successes in Technology Leah Andersen Allied American University Author Note This paper was prepared for SOC250, Module 1 Homework Assignment taught by Instructor Jesse Kleis. Successes in Technology Technology has had a major impact on human successes over the past million years. Possibly the single most influential event in the public’s interest when it comes to science and technology, would be the Apollo II mission. The space field has had a major impact and also has provided us with the ability to learn new technology and advance in our latest technologies. Since the first man walked on the moon, science has advanced at a rapid pace; nuclear power, television, jet engines, satellites and computers proved that only the scope of our imaginations could possibility limit our progress. Ever since the first human walked on the moon, humans have looked beyond the moon to Earth’s neighbor planet, Mars. The Apollo mission showed us looking back at a fragile planet adrift in a void, making us second guess who we were and are in terms of species as well as our species’ place in a vast universe. Discovery of alien life, amounting to nothing more but only a string of protein or some nucleotides, most certainly changed our perspective on the role of life in the cosmos. The space technology has vastly changed our life and our way of living. The automobile is a major human success as well when it comes to technology. The early...

...The exploration of the Archives last week in the library allowed me to take a walk into the past of UMass student activism. However what struck me and made an interconnection was what I need to focus on and that being my capstone paper. While spending time in Amsterdam and looking at Northern European policies around incarceration rates I wanted to compare the two countries. Unsure of what I wanted to research in the archives, and how this trip could later develop into another paper I needed to write, I started to piece things together as I began to recall articles read over the last two semesters in STPEC in order to bridge together the bigger picture of social and economic injustices impacting communities of color and working class populations....

...Environmental Scan Paper Kenneth Anderson MGT / 498 November 10, 2014 Rodney Greene Abstract In business, it is important to gauge internal business with external business. This process will provide an advantage for shaping the future of business. For that reason, the procedure of creating strategies will help by conducting environmental scans. Environmental Scan Designing and building on core values is a required strategy when an organization wants to keep a competitive edge over the competition. There are numerous strategies to pick from in business; a significant strategy is keeping an eye on needed changes and financial trail of record keeping. Furthermore, it is necessary for organizations to keep an outlook on what external sources are doing. It is imperative when acquiring information that defines what other organizations are doing to be conducted in an ethical matter. Committing unethical deception will cause organizational anarchy. The reason long surviving companies like Smart and Final last; is by removing possible dangers so change for the better will be obvious. Ultimately, legacies are built, and the organization’s reputation utilizes power and self-reliance. A thorough global analysis assessment must be completed during an environmental scanning of any organization. This assessment includes businesses, clients, markets, and industries in the same industry. The objective of this paper is to examine the organization and conduct an environmental scan...

...Understanding Islam Christy A. Goff Dr. Thornton REL 212 September 8, 2012 In this paper, I will be reporting on my religious field research of Islam. The research that I have conducted has afforded me the opportunity to speak with, listen, and develop a stronger understanding of the Islamic faith. My research has also helped to dissolve some of the misconceptions that surround Islam. I will cover four major points throughout this paper. First, I will discuss preexisting misconceptions held against Islam. Second, I will analyze how my prior understanding of Islam was altered, or not, upon completion of my field research. Third, I will discuss whether or not I believe misconceptions of other people’s religions are common and explain in detail why or why not. Fourth, I will recommend at least one step that could be taken to help minimize misconceptions that people have in regards to other religions. I hope, through the reading of my field research report, to provide a stronger sense of understanding and receptiveness that I now have for other religions to the reader. Misconceptions of Islam In order to discuss the misconceptions that surround Islam, we must first delve into understanding what the word “Islam” actually means. “The word "Islam" means peace and submission. Peace means to be at peace with yourself and your surroundings. Submission means to submit to the Will of God. A broader meaning of the word "Islam," is to achieve peace by submitting to the...

...gospel is with love. Like a family member that needs something you give help with your love and let the course to knowledge flow from there. Using the information found on the Joshua Project there is 41.9 percent of people unreached by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Joshua Project shows that there are 41.3 percent of people in the world that do not know the Gospel.
