...ENG 102 Cover Letter for Rogerian Essay March 25, 2013 DR. Hennessey, The purpose of this essay is to make my readers aware of the harm cigarettes can do to a person’s body. I also want to make my reader aware that without second hand smoke a person body can be healthier. Smokers should take inconsideration that not everyone wants to smell the smoke or suffer the consequences from second-hand smoke. What I have learned that second-hand smoke can do more damage to your body then I was aware of. I felt like smoking should be completely banned in public places but after researching this assignment I changed my view. I changed and said it should be banned in some places rather then all public locations. The difficulties I encounter with this essay were over citing my sources. I had a hard time putting my own words into my paper with out thinking it was plagiarism. On the opposing view section of my paper I had over citied and going back to add my common knowledge in that section was difficult. I enjoyed learning new history and information on this assignment. I also enjoyed reading what the opposing side said about banning smoking in public places. I choose to write about this topic because it hits close to home. I have an aunt and an uncle who had passed away due to the effect of smoking. I have a husband who also smokes and the doctor constantly tells him he needs to quit. I always wondered why people would take on such a nasty habit that...

...Leadership I would like to tell the story about my little girl named Julie, at the time she was in the 2nd grade. She was one to never exclude anyone. A word to describe her would be motivated in everything she would do. Julie would come home and tell about this little boy that would come in for only half a day and he was so mean to others. He would yell and scream obscenities to the other children. Within a short time the other children started picking on him. Come to find out the little boy had special needs. One day Julie decided to write a note to Bobby that reads as follows: Dear Bobby, Do you want to be my friend? I would like to be your friend but please do not curse at me. Your friend, Julie. The teacher came across the letter and was amazed at Julie’s ability to recognize the feelings and behaviors of others. At conference time the teacher conveyed that Julie’s nurturing personality and motivation seems to have made her a born leader. Situational Approach to Leadership Maddie’s last thing she wanted to go today was to her Girl Scout’s meeting. The last few weeks the leader has not been happy with the progress they have been making with their new badge. This is the last day that they can finish the badge. When Maddie got there the leader was all over the place and totally disorganized. The Girl Scout’s leader could not get anybody’s attention especially since tomorrow starts Christmas break. In order for the badge to be accomplished the leader will...

...Module 5: Customs Etiquette and Protocol In an era of globalization, understanding the basics of etiquette and protocol — that is, the type of behavior that others expect of you in both informal and formal settings — is an important skill. It can instill an individual with confidence to handle almost any situation in any culture and allow a businessperson to concentrate on the deal at hand rather than worrying about such peripheral distractions as which fork to use or which hand to use for passing food. Without an understanding of the basics of etiquette and protocol, you risk coming off as a boorish Neanderthal. You may even put your company's image at risk or risk potential failure in the formation of key business relationships that are vital to global success. Finally, a well-honed sense and appreciation of local customs, etiquette and protocol can make you stand out as a world-savvy individual in a competitive global market. The world may indeed be an oyster today for many businesses. The problem is that too many businesspeople are still, like Oscar Wilde, using the wrong fork. The Ancient Art of Protocol Etiquette — the codes and practices prescribed by social convention that govern correct behavior — and protocol — the form of etiquette and ceremony observed by diplomats and businesspeople during formal interaction — are really ancient arts. Ptahhotep, mayor of ancient Egypt's capital and vizier to Egyptian King Isesi around 2380–2340 B.C. (the vizier was ancient Egypt's...

...Harvey Wiley, Theodore Roosevelt, and the Federal Regulation of Food and Drugs By Anthony Gaughan Food and Drug Law Mr. Peter Barton Hutt Harvard Law School Winter 2004 Introduction In 1906 Congress passed two landmark pieces of legislation: the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. The acts emerged from the reformist ethos of the Progressive Era, a time when the federal government took on a new and much more active role in the everyday lives of ordinary Americans. Of all the laws passed during the Progressive Era, no legislation proved more successful and more enduring than the 1906 food and drug legislation. The acts established the foundations of modern American food and drug law, and gave birth to the Food and Drug Administration. For the first time, the federal government assumed permanent and comprehensive responsibility for the health and safety of the American food and drug supply. Although the statutes have been revised many times since 1906, the essence of modern food and drug law remains consistent with the principles of federal responsibility for consumer safety that underlay the first statutes a century ago. The passage of the 1906 food and drug legislation stemmed from the actions of many people across the political landscape, ranging from Senator Albert Beveridge to socialist writer Upton Sinclair. But no indi- 1 viduals played a larger public role in the passage of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act than Theodore...

...phenomenal growth took place in RMG exports from Bangladesh. Export of RMG increased from US $40 thousand in 1978 –79 to US $6.4 billion in 2004-05. The industry has also provided employment to nearly 2 million workers, most of them women drawn from the rural areas. Explosive growth of RMG exports is of course not unique to Bangladesh. The annual compound growth rate of RMG export industries in Indonesia (31.2%), Mauritius (23.8%), and Dominican Republic (21.1%) compares favourably with that of Bangladesh 1 (81.3%) over the 1980-87 period . However, while initial conditions were favourable for export growth in the countries noted above, this was far from true in the case of Bangladesh. This makes research into the factors responsible for the observed striking growth of RMG exports from Bangladesh a compelling case study in economic 2 development . Academics and researches have generally attributed the remarkable growth of RMG exports from Bangladesh to favourable external conditions,...
