...Joneice Butler 26 September 2011 Eng. 112-01 Research Proposal Writing Have you ever had a topic that touch’s you deep inside your heart? Have you ever had that feeling like you tried to help but nothing works, as if you have no say at all? The topic that I would like to discuss in class would be child depression. This is a touchy topic to me because I am dealing with it right now with my little sister, it is a serious issue that most parents or teachers feel as though it isn’t a serious thing but it can lead to multiple other types of issue such as suicide and bullying. As a little girl she only grew up with my mother and I and her dad was in jail for about 8 years of her life so she never had a father figure. Then when she was 10 he got out of jail, he wasn’t really there that much as she hoped but she was willing to accept it. Then her 8th grade year he went back to jail and that hurt her a lot, because she was losing him all over again. That was when her attitude started to change then my first year of college she became depressed and never wanted to talk to anyone about her feelings. She felt as though everyone was leaving her and her and my mom weren’t the closest. When I came back for Christmas break that was when my mom told me that my sister had been cutting herself on her stomach and wrist and she had been seeing a therapist since I left for school. When I heard that it made me break down crying because no child should feel that way or do that kind of stuff to...

...Mitchell English 1101 Professor Elliott 7 December 2012 Reflective Final Essay This first semester of my freshman has been a very interesting trip. I have learned so much in the short amount of time that I have spent here at Kennesaw State University. I feel as if I have grown, not only as a student, but as a person as well. I have met many new people, made many new friends, and learned many new things especially in my English 1101 class. I thought I knew everything there was to know about writing when I came in on my first day, but I was very wrong. My professor assured me that there is much more to writing than just putting words down on paper. Knowing all of this, I have now learned how to improve on my writing skills, how to write better grammatically correct sentences, incorporate quotes and research and give as well as get criticism. When I came into this semester as a freshman I was very confident in the quality of my writing. However, my self-esteem was soon crushed shortly thereafter. Even though my writing skills had been very good compared to my classmates in high school, at the university level they were just average. After hearing about the on average grades students get in professor Elliott’s class, I knew I had a lot of work to do to receive an A on a paper. I had to do something quick to learn how improve on my writing skills. With the help of my teacher, she made us a read a variety of articles that were very interesting, yet also very insightful and helpful...

...Walt Disney Company Maria Galarza COM530 September 5, 2011 Brent Smith Walt Disney Company Walt Disney Company’s philosophy is giving the best customer services available to their customers. In this paper I will break down how the Walt Disney Company accomplishes their philosophy goals. I will use the most popular place Walt Disney philosophy is being used, which are their parks and resorts. I will also give you my personal experience when I visited Disney World. As everyone knows Walt Disney Company used the statement “Make people happy.” a priority. (Jordan, 2007) Disney started installing this in their employees, which they call Cast Members. The reason they call them Cast Members is because they have to be reminded that they are always on stage to entertain their customers. Disney also uses the word Guest for their customers. This reminds the employees that where they work at is their home and the customers are visiting it. Everyone that works for Disney has a role to make the customer happy, even the person that sweeps. They are not only sweeper but they are people that make a cleaner and happier place for their guest. The way Disney installs this to their employees is by training them. Once they go through an intense screening as applicants, they are interview by their peers. The first interview is usually done with three applicants and a supervisor. During this process the supervisor evaluates their human relation skills. Once they pass this process they go...

...Reflection Paper The event happened the night before I left for home for Christmas break. A friend and I went over to Teresa to hang out with friends in somebody’s dorm room. There was no alcohol when we got there but somebody suggested that we get alcohol. Somebody went to get beer, Axis energy drinks containing alcohol and a couple of 40 oz. malt liquor bottles. I took an Axis and only had a few sips, not liking the taste. I knew I shouldn’t have been in the environment I was in, with so much alcohol and alcohol drinking going on. I knew it wasn’t allowed on campus, yet continued to stay in the room and talk to people and listen to music. At one point during the night I noticed many people leaving the room, not realizing immediately that a resident assistant was at the door. My first instinct was to stay. I had no thought of leaving, and knew I had to take responsibility for my actions. I spoke with the RA giving him my name and telling him my ID number having left my card in my dorm room. I helped count the alcohol cans in the room and proceeded to help bring them out to the dumpster. I was very nervous as to if my parents would find out because I know that they would be extremely disappointed, possibly even pulling me out of St. Edward’s and making me go to school closer to home. So I am extremely fortunate that they did not find out and I do not plan on doing anything to get in trouble again. If I am ever put in this situation again I would leave immediately if I found...

...uniquely positioned to inform, empower, and inspire, Comcast embraces the opportunity to create conversation and mobilize action. They believe it's not just about moving the business forward; it's about moving people forward. Comcast has gone through many organizational changes and acquisitions like many global companies. Employees in the call centers feel that with all the changes made the company has lost sight of the employees’ wants and needs. Comcast has a great health benefits package, free cable service, employee engagement activities, incentives, perks and discounts with other companies, and a great financial benefits package. However employees are still unsatisfied because of the things they used to have such as Christmas parties, Christmas bonus, bigger productivity bonuses and a more laid back atmosphere. Employees in the billing department use to receive comp time off and received higher commissions. The Chicago Division Billing call center employees don’t feel that the company gets the input of the employees affected by these changes. With the change of these policies things they used to get commission on they no longer receive. Comcast has gone through a lot of budget cuts and their salaries compared to other companies in their market are much lower. I work as a supervisor in the Chicagoland...

...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...

...Liberty University BUSI 604 Dr. Romanoski May 9, 2014 Abstract In this research paper I will be analyzing the cultural perspectives of doing business in South Korea. In doing so, I will be answering the four major questions as it relates to the major Elements and Dimensions of culture in South Korea. Also, since the dimensions of culture in any nation are many, it is necessary to analyze each category that makes up the Dimensions of one’s culture, these categories have been in place for many years in any given country. If we simply consider the Dimensions of Culture in the United States alone, which range from Religion to our Ethical standards, it would be clear that there are many categories within each of those. Therefore, it is important to analyze each category in detail, in an attempt to determine exactly what it will take to do business in that country or any country across the globe. This research paper will attempt to identify those major elements and dimensions of culture in South Korea. Once these elements and dimensions have been identified, it would give a clearer picture on how South Koreans integrate those elements and dimensions into their everyday business. Also, when comparing South Korean and the United States culture and business, there would naturally be implications that should be considered for US businesses that want to do business in South Korea. This research will also address those implications. The Republic of Korea which is better known...

...because we have all these negative views on money, credit cards, or anything that has to do with the financial world. I have come across many negative thoughts that have paralyzed me into starting a simple bank plan for my funds to grow. My ultimate goal is to let go of those fears that are holding me back from making my bank account become stabilized. This paper will refer to Mo Tzu's essay "Against Music;" Ramit Sethi in his book "I Will Teach You to Be Rich;" Gandhi’s essay “Economic and Moral Progress;” a Chapter of the New Testament in the Bible, Luke chapter 16; and an online article "Zen Habits" by Leo Babauta. I came to the realization once I started doing research and reading more books on finances that in order for me to come up with a plan to help my money flourish into something more, I need to cut off all the learned negative thoughts about money. A lot of these negative thoughts are created because we lack the knowledge on banks and bank accounts that can help us become more successful in our finances. Once I started my research I learned great ideas and strategies on how to grow financially. Not only will I need to carefully plan out my goals based on what I have learned to get started, but I also need to learn how to separate the needs from my wants. Once I have myself a good plan, I need to give back and help those in need. Through this process I will need to be positive and have faith to push through when it starts to get rough. With having a bit of faith I...

...What is Brainstorming? Brainstorming is a large or small group activity which encourages children to focus on a topic and contribute to the free flow of ideas. The teacher may begin by posing a question or a problem, or by introducing a topic. Students then express possible answers, relevant words and ideas. Contributions are accepted without criticism or judgement. Initially, some students may be reluctant to speak out in a group setting but brainstorming is an open sharing activity which encourages all children to participate. By expressing ideas and listening to what others say, students adjust their previous knowledge or understanding, accommodate new information and increase their levels of awareness. Teachers should emphasize active listening during these sessions. Students should be encouraged to listen carefully and politely to what their classmates contribute, to tell the speakers or the teacher when they cannot hear others clearly and to think of different suggestions or responses to share. What is its purpose? * to focus students' attention on a particular topic * to generate a quantity of ideas * to teach acceptance and respect for individual differences * to encourage learners to take risks in sharing their ideas and opinions * to demonstrate to students that their knowledge and their language abilities are valued and accepted * to introduce the practice of idea collection prior to beginning tasks such as writing or solving problems...

...Gender Roles in Teaching Liberal Studies 3000 Section 2 November 30, 2011 Abstract: This research paper covers the history of teachers in the classroom based on the factor of gender. The paper then discusses the effect that gender roles have on students, teachers and classrooms. Gender Roles in Teaching Try to think back to childhood, and ask the question how many male teachers did I have? The response to this is predominately low according to the National Education Association, who state that males only make up twenty-five percent of teachers today. It’s important for children to have teachers who are positive role models. Children benefit from having access to both male and female mentors throughout their early childhood education and school years. (Martin 2005). Currently, men make up only twenty-five percent of the elementary teaching workforce and the number of men teaching in early childhood services is even smaller. The NEA also states that at the secondary level, forty-five percent of teachers are male. It is apparent that these sectors of education need more male teachers to address this imbalance and give children the opportunity to learn from quality teachers of both genders. Children at all levels – early childhood, elementary and secondary, need positive role models so that they can become successful adults. Some of the factors that disinterest males from entering the teaching profession are: stereotyping...
