...The religious Awakening of early America proved to be especially divisive because it (a) disrupted the prevailing social order in many towns and cities that utilized a church government, (b) encouraged emotional involvement in religion, and (c) made religion an individual matter. These factors combined to cause division within many of communities of the nascent country. Before the series of events know as the Awakening, many towns and cities had one church, and one preacher; who essentially had a monopoly on the local church goers. Not only were the people united religiously, but in many towns, the church was also the government. It was this in this state that traveling preachers know as itinerants found many of the communities they sought to evangelize. The itinerants traveled from place to place preaching doctrine that generally contrasted with what local leaders taught. At times, groups of them would enter a town, and in a swirl of religious fervor, win the people’s religious loyalty away from the existing order. This not only angered local leaders, but, also tended to divide local populations, as some believed the new doctrines that were preached, and others vehemently opposed the new ideas. Those who believed the itinerants were called the “new lights,” and those who stuck to the old ways were referred to as “old lights.” These theological differences became a serious problem in many communities because religion was also the main social structure. Those who came to...

...I was walking to my car when I noticed my pants were on fire. I turned to my friend and said, "I think were going to need an oven and fast." He grabbed me with his soggy fingers and said.. "Snap out of it, Man." Then he proceeded to chant and walk in circles around me. I looked down, My pants were still on fire, but by this time it had spread to my Uterus and three other ligaments. I was getting pretty agitated that no one seemed to care about my third degree burns, or my soon imminent death, but I went along with his plan still hoping he'd manage to save me through his voo-doo witchcraft. After I came out of my trance from the fire I noticed that I was now in the kitchen of my grandma's house baking a cake.. I Screamed "WHAT THE F***?" My Grandma ran in and slapped the s*** outta me for cursing. Then she proceeded to say, "I swear if you talk like that 5 more times, I'll beat the living s*** outta you." I was quite confused as to what was going on and what I did to deserve this true life mad lib. I just stood there in silence with a look of uttermost confusion.. and I starred at the women who had once been a kind sweet old lady, who wouldn't even kill a baby piglet, now turned into this vicious beast of a monster with veins protruding from her neck like a porcupines quills on a midsummer day. She gasped, and then with the blink of an eye turned back into the sweet old lady I had once known. "Would you like some cookies, dear?" "Ummm Yes, grandma." As she...

...thirteen years of age at the time and he tells us about how he felt as he waited for Jesus to make an appearance before him. His Auntie Reed’s church was holding a big revival during the week. Many sinners were being brought before Christ. Before the revival is to end, they are having a special meeting just for children. Auntie Reed is very excited for him to be there and be brought before Jesus. She tells him that when you’re saved, you’ll see a light and feel something inside of you that has never been present before. Hearing from many older people before, he had believed what she was telling him. As he sits on the mourner’s bench inside this hot crowded church waiting for Jesus, he listens to the preacher sing songs and preaches. At the end, the preacher holds out his arms and calls out to the young lambs to come to Jesus. Some went up right away while others waited and remained sitting on the bench. The older people in the church began to sing and got the whole church in an uproar. Then the remaining of the children went up before Jesus and was saved except for two. Langston and another young boy named Westley. It was getting late and Westley was tired of sitting and went up to be saved. Langston was sitting alone now as everyone in the church was calling for him on up to Jesus. As everyone continued to call for him to go up, he sat and waited for Jesus to come to him, but nothing was happening. He began to feel bad for keeping everyone so late and began...

...1983 and have been raised by two great parents who have served in the church pastorate for thirty years now. I have one brother, about seven years older than I am. When I was still a baby, we moved to Hawaii where my Dad served as pastor for just under two years. I remember very little of my toddler years, and barely remember the next place we moved to, which was Grove, Oklahoma. I can tell you that we went from sunshine and beautiful weather to dodging tornadoes; one in particular literally jumped over the church we had taken shelter in when I was about three. Our family moved back to Tennessee to pastor where we lived in several different places. By the time I was eleven, we had just moved to Anchorage, Alaska where my father served as a pastor and as the state youth director. We lived there for four and a half years and to this day, it was one of my absolute favorite places to live. As a pastor's kid, I became the quintessential church brat. I lived, ate, breathed, and slept in the church. And just so you know, this was a literal situation; we actually lived in an apartment that was built into the back of the church. It was in Alaska that I first decided to follow Christ, encountered the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and where God confirmed the call of ministry on my life. The first sermon I ever preached was in Kotzebue, Alaska. I preached on Revelation where God is speaking to the church of Laodicea and urging them to be hot or cold. I remember it vividly because I used the...

...The story and real life differences are Pia getting raped page 35 paragraph 1. If I could change one situation in the story, I Really don't think I would. It makes the book more interesting, but if I really had to I would change the fact that Pia’s mom didn't believe her when she told her that her mom’s friend Jim was trying to rape her .I would change that because Pia was already raped and tried to harm herself and for her mom not to believe her that just a horrible experience for any girl of any age even males for that matter. My favorite thing said that could be used as a quote is “ Maybe the swoop list has been an eye-opener for all of us.I hate that any of us were on it, but atleast we got each other,and at least we now realize the flaws we’ve conquered.

... Second, St. Dominic’s humbleness. He is very humble that even if he did a very small or simple mistake, he asks forgiveness to the person that he made mistake to. Even if he becomes a priest on the latter part of the film, he keeps his feet on the ground, showing that he is not unique to everyone and still a humble servant to his church and to good Lord himself. Third, St. Dominic thought us is his selflessness. He doesn’t care anymore to himself, and help all the people who need to be fed and preach to give them enlightenment. He shows that man should help one another especially in the times that we need to help and comfort each other. He even gave his rosary, which is given by his uncle, to a boy when he is travelling with other preachers and priests. And the root of his selflessness can be found in one verse in the book of Matthew, stating...

...M1 – How the management of human, physical and technological resources can improve the performance of Tesco Physical Resources Tesco have many physical resources within their organisation including building and facilities, materials and waste, plant and machinery, equipment and maintenance and refurbishment. All of these resources can help improve the performance of Tesco. The management of Tesco’s building and facilities and the location of these can help greatly help Tesco. Tesco need to make sure that they consider the location of their distribution centres and their shops as if these buildings are too far from each other, they can find that it is harder and takes longer for their stock to reach the stores and can decrease the performance of Tesco and the efficiency of the way they run. Tesco are determined to make sure that they are doing what they can for the environment and look at what they are using in waste and materials and see if they can change what they do in order to improve their performance. To help improve their environmental performance, they make sure that they make sure that they recycle all materials that they can and have brought in many different schemes to help them improve their performance, including battery and mobile phone recycling schemes and Together for Trees.

...1. What, according to you, are some of the signs of a troubled employee that you have noticed? Changes in employee behavior can signify that an individual may have a personal problem that is interfering with their work performance. There are “red flags” in an employee’s behavior that can be used as indicators. There is usually no single event, but rather a noticeable pattern of change in the employee’s behavior, attitude or work activity. Individually, these signs may seem harmless enough but taken together they may represent a serious problem. It is important to avoid ignoring the initial indicators. These are some of the signs that might help you identify an employee who has a problem. Work Related Unable to concentrate on work and complete the given task/activities on time. Errors in the task completed Making excuses for substandard work Procrastination, inability to concentrate Self Major changes in personal appearance, attitude or behavior Problems with family, friends, co-workers, legal issues, financial issues Heightened anxiety, overly defensive 2. Have you come across any such individual/s at your organisations? YES 3. How have you handled the situation?

More often than not, the root cause of such dramatic behavioural change is troubles - either personal or professional. Most employees develop some...

Managing resources at Tesco Physical-Buildings, Lorries and trucks, massive warehouses Technological-Scanning checkouts, Captures stock control systems, on line shopping, club card, Marketing Human-Recruitment, Training, motivation, staff appraisal. Physical-improvements on the physical management can improve the performance of Tesco as if they have bigger building in means that they have a larger space capacity which will enable them to make bigger stores around the world, if they have a bigger building then it will also allow them to put a variety of products in store and not just limited stock, if they had a smaller buildings then they would not be able to fit ass many products inside as they are able to do so now, there wouldn’t be any space for there large car park that almost every Tesco store has this very moment in time. Having Lorries and trucks can majorly improve performance at Tesco because having those facilities available there for them to use is a great help, lorries can carry a huge amount of stock from one store to another or from the warehouses back to Tesco stores, this would help save a lot of time in comparison to if they never had any lorries or trucks to help deliver their goods because then they would need to have a number of vans to carry their products back and forth, this would waste allot of petrol and allot of money, so having lorries...

...Music Appreciation Reflection At first the performance started of slow and i was thinking what was going on because when i thought wind symphony I expect like high fast and up beat. But then it began. “Danzon” was fast and in my mind I was thinking, “whoa this one is really good because its fast” and then it ended really quick, faster than expected. When the conductor said that they were going into solo pieces, i automatically assumed that someone was going to be performing by themselves and it was going to be a long performance. Boy was i wrong. He meant solo as in the groups go solo. Which is something I learned new. Then the third piece began, liked the fact that it was slower and more relaxing in the sense that it sounded more like a jazzy type feel to it. Also, it reminded me of something you would find in an old crime/detective show from the 520s or 30s and the picture is still black and white. It struck the oldie inside me. At first I believed my favorite part was “Danzon” because it was faster and more upbeat to everything and not slow but to my amazement my favorite would have to be the last one, “Symphony No.2 for Winds and Percussion” because it was honestly the most familiar to me above all pieces. I’ve heard before in plenty of movies especially scary movies. Also, the brass section of this piece makes the whole performance go BOOM because it makes it really intense along side with the big drum because the “dung dung dung” part makes it feel real. I feel like...

...2. What can Nekeisha do now to diminish the negative impact of her evaluation of Bill ? The question tell us that, after Nekeisha help Bill during the performance appraisal by giving him such high rating, there will be negative impact arise in the company. This statement come based on two facts which is; First, Bill had been experiencing a large number of personal problems. Definitely people who work together with him will easily know how was his work performance during that period of time. Second, after Bill was being told by Nekeisha about what she has done, he was excitedly looking forward to telling his work buddies about what a wonderful boss he had. This might caused a big question in his buddies mind about what Nekeisha has done till make Bill, the low average performance employee, become so this exited. These two facts will give other workers such a view regarding what Bill supposed to receive during the annual performance appraisal based on the fact that they have seen. However, at the end, what they thought is not happening at all. Basically, as a human being, Nakeisha has good intention to help Bill to ease his burden.

Her biased evaluation toward bill will of course make other workers to be jealous, and this might lead to a serious negative impact such as employees will judge her as being unfair...

...Kimberly Tucker, Chris Salt, Ashley Solomon Case 7: Mattel: Overcoming Marketing and Manufacturing Challenges 11/01/2010 Marketing Management 6800 Section 004 The Problem: The problem surrounding Mattel Inc., one of the world’s largest toy companies, is their mismanagement of international subcontractors and vendors and the production of certain toys (the manufacturing process), as well as their inability to adapt their marketing strategy or product to the constantly changing “demographic and socioeconomic trends” (Ferrell, et. all 466). This is supported by Mattel’s legal battle with Carter Bryant and MGA, their forced recall of certain toys that were manufactured overseas, and the increasing rate at which traditional toys are becoming less appealing to today’s young audience. Essentially, Mattel’s mismanagement and oversight lead to violations in terms of ethical and social responsibilities and safety standards. Issues Relevant to the Problem: Mattel’s problem of mismanagement can be divided into several issues that need to be considered: legal issues, international supply chain issues, and an increase in technology-based toys. In regards to legal issues, Mattel has been involved in prolonged litigation with Carter Bryant and MGA over a breach of an employment contract and copyright infringement. Due to Mattel’s poor management of its overseas manufacturers, in which unauthorized subcontractors and third-party suppliers were hired and unsafe materials used, several...

...person is focusing on something different, thinking of something different, and noticing something different. That is why every person has a story to tell, and it is why we can learn from every single person. And this essay is about my short autobiography, which can give you an indication of my personal story. I came into this world on the windy morning of October 15, 1990. I was born in Cua Viet, a small town in Vietnam. I am the 5th child among the 5 children of my parent. I grew up and spent almost my whole life in my country. Now, I am the second year student in Business Accounting- the 2 year program. I have been through many life-changing situations in past 3 years. These situations have had both positive and negative impacts to me. My goals from 5 years ago compare to my current goals are totally different. After finishing 12th grade, I just wanted to become a Mathematics teacher, so I went to Hue University and tried my best to achieve the goal. However, when I was the 2nd year student of the Hue University, I found that I was no longer interested in becoming a teacher. Hence, I dropped the school and wanted to get a better education in Canada and seek opportunities in accounting. Since then, my life has changed. On one hand, starting my new life in a strange country is so hard. When I just came, I faced many difficulties, such as the language, the weather and the life style. Firstly, language was a big matter when I first came. Speaking was one of the linguistic problems...

...Freddy Rodriguez Prof. Chamberlain English 063 16 Oct, 2012 My Hate for Work We all deal with some sort of issue that makes our work experience negative. In my case its cooking at a restaurant where all you hear is kids screaming uncontrollably from the control point window in the grill, the fog coming from both the fryer and grill, and last, but not least the “pushing and shoving” from the grill team when we’re pulling off a thousand dollar hour. If you haven’t guessed yet, its Friendly’s “Where ice cream makes the meal”... and my hate for people. I’m just kidding, but I don’t like rude people; like if I’m nice to you why can’t you return the nice gesture? Anyways (back on track) its crazy how many sounds you hear, things you see and objects you feel within a five hour shift that actually feels like two because of working through a rush period. Children children children, I hate them. Hate is a strong word? Trust me I KNOW! I cannot fathom the loud screaming that sounds like metal to metal screeching; all because mommy won’t them get ice cream. The sad part is that I work in the grill and its sort of tucked away in the back. Imagining the intensity of the screaming? Quite horrible isn’t it? As if the loud grinding gears of their voices isn’t enough, I have the pleasure of watching them run around like its free game day at chuck e cheese or something. The only part I enjoy of them running around like maniacs is seeing the huge bright shiny smile on their faces, it makes...
