...What is your vision for America? In my vision for America I think we could change and improve many things. My vision for America would be my ultimate utopia. First, I think that in america there shouldn’t be any people who are suffering from not having a home or not being able to afford something that is a necessity. Secondly, We would have a cure for all diseases for anyone who might have something simple like a cold or for anyone who might have something as severe as cancer. Lastly, In my vision for America there would be an unlimited amount of jobs for anyone and everyone. Those are a few of the things I would change to fit my vision of America. The first thing I would change in america so that it fit my vision would be the amount of people who are suffering. I would make it so that everyone had a home to live in so that there aren’t so...

...My Vision for America is just like others, a free country where there are boundless opportunities for people that immigrate to it. For almost two centuries people have immigrated to this country and that number has swelled overtime. The reason for such mass immigration was not just political tension in Europe, but also the fact that unlike nations of its time, the United States held fast to its neutrality and its belief in all men are created equally. Yes, there were problems, but then again what young nation doesn't face problems? It was through the work of those who struggled to bring about new reforms and other times it was through bloodshed, but it was through their struggles that a better America was forged. It was through their endurance and sacrifice that allowed a better America to emerge....

...Many Americans today feel that our country stands at a crossroads. As America faces worsening economic problems, spiraling national debt, the threat of domestic and foreign terrorism, and diminishing prestige around the world, many at home and abroad have asked if America can ever be the great nation she once was. It might surprise people that Ronald Reagan asked Americans this same question 35 years ago. In a 1980 speech he said, “For the first time in our memory many Americans are asking: does history still have a place for America, for her people, for her great ideals?” History does have a way of repeating itself. Americans were also fearful of our nation’s future during the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Great Depression, two World Wars, and during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Each generation had its own obstacles to overcome, and each generation did just that. Just before his death in 1979, John Wayne said “Just give the American people a good cause, and there's nothing they can't lick." He believed in the American spirit, in our courage and in our ability to overcome adversity. In other words, he believed that Americans weren’t quitters. After September 11th 2001 when the World Trade Towers were...

A destination where health and happiness come together to help people get well, stay well and live well. Strategy: 24 hour service, #1 in customer relations/service Introduction An important task for the leader of a strategic initiative is to bring clarity to the statement of vision, outcomes, and goals. When finding a strategy for vision, one must find the language that will ultimately describe your goals, outcomes and/or results. Simply put, vision can be defined as what is seen. Developing a vision is important for a company. In order for a company to verify its vision, it must apply the following techniques: demonstration, analyzing, and testing. Vision statements also must adhere to certain criteria such as the involvement of others, creating milestones, and creating criteria for verification. Application Analysis I have decided to use the vision and mission statements of the company in which I am currently employed. Being in the management position, I must understand the importance of the concept, “My Walgreens”. It means that when the customer enters the store...

...Adam Chitarath Humanities Word Count 582 My Own Little Hell If given the opportunity to create my own vision of hell, my version would be based on the seven deadly sins. Each sin would have its own structure of punishment. If a person were to commit several sins, the last sin committed by that person would be the punishment for that individual. At each gate of the sins, there sits a judge that is in the form of whoever that individual loved most in their life and that judge will decide on that person’s life events leading up to where they committed their last sin. The portal will send the individual to their punishment, that will last 2500 years until their soul can have the opportunity to decide what next life they wish to live. Each sin has a cruel and unusual punishment for that individual which is determined by the last person they saw when the sin was committed. This list of sins that I am about to mention are in no particular order, because in my vision of hell, all sin is created equal. Since the topic is on the great villains of our day, Kim Jong un, if the last sin committed by this villain were to have been wrath that ended with murder. His punishment would be that the person he murdered would be able to murder him over and over again for 2500 years. Another example could be Osama Bin laden, committing Envy. By wanting to be like America so badly, his sin punishment could so happen to be that he peels the skin off his body, layer by layer until it gets to the...

...Irish immigrant father and American mother of Belgian descent, Henry Ford turned his back on the lifestyle of a farmer and sought employment in Detroit in the machine shops when he was 16 years old. Ford’s leadership style could best be described as Transformational leadership. Our textbook states, “all transformational leaders are charismatic, however, not all charismatic leaders are transformational1.” Common characteristics of a transformational leader include having a clear vision of the future, the verbal skills needed to share their vision, the ability to project confidence to others in the ability to attain their vision, and the personalized leadership to set and achieve goals needed for the organization’s success. Henry Ford’s vision of a car for every American demonstrated his understanding that his company would be far more successful if every citizen were able to afford his vehicles, instead of only being available to the wealthy few. To this end, he introduced mass production in America via the moving assembly line, and offered higher wages for his employees. This practice of inexpensive production with high worker pay credited to Henry Ford is known as “Fordism”2. He understood that breaking down complex jobs into simpler steps allowed the unskilled worker to accomplish the task of the product being produced at a more efficient price. In order to maintain his workforce, Ford instituted a $5.00 an hour pay scale and was the first company to establish a workday of...

...Abstract My research topic is on U.S Air Ways organizational changes, leadership development, and change management. Who needs to be included in planning, implementing, and sustaining the change? Why? What obstacles/resistance will inhibit the change and what will drive the change? What additional activities will be required to deal with the resistance? By changing these issues with my team I would improve the customer services, company moral and gained profit. Our team consists of Tigest Alemu, Amanda Chinaglia, Antony Harding, Laurie Kiernan and Enrique Somoza. The professor randomly picked the team members so no one knew each other prior to the class. At first I did not know what team I was suppose to be in. The team had already met the first week and introduced themselves and assigned the questions to each other. We all had time to meet in class and everyone agreed on picking US Airways and everyone agreed on doing research and answering the questions for our next group meeting. The team discussed the recent changes, of US Airways and Laurie said she was going to ask her brother about US Airways because he works for them. In between team meetings, all communication was done via e-mail and phone conversations. By the third week, all the team members had come to the unanimous pick of the questions they wanted to answer. Enrique volunteered to do the power point and everyone was to work on his or her part of the presentation and e-mail to Enrique. The presentation...

...twenty to forty years, the face of corporate America has changed drastically from family owned businesses to conglomerates that absorb smaller businesses by the dozens. Those days where a person works for a single company until retirement are long gone. Retirement funds, 401k’s, investment accounts, and high efficiency technology dominate lunch counter conversations, versus our parent’s conversations about family matters and how the kids are doing. Something has been lost from those days where people actually cared about coworkers and each other. I’m sure if you would ask ten people for a reason for the lack of concern, you would get different responses. According to what I have learned through this course in Organization Behavior, all the case studies, and the research on personal and position power, I have concluded that people are not put first. This has lead to and lack of success in business as well as failures. In most recent times, Enron Corporation comes to mind, along with other companies that accepted government bailout money in order to avoid massive layoffs or closing altogether. My group in this course chose to do the group project on position power and personal power. My individual subtopic deals with how a manager with only position power affects his/her subordinates in the work environment. This term paper will deal specifically with leadership versus management. When one thinks of power in corporate America, leadership or a lack there of comes to mind...

...The Toyota Global Vision Akio Toyoda President Toyota Motor Corporation 1. Thank you for taking the time to be with us here today. I will take this opportunity to describe for you our newly drafted Toyota Global Vision. 2. The word “vision” conjures notions of quantitative targets for things like sales and operating income in some sort of time frame. What we have prepared is a vision of a different kind. We have sketched the outlines of the kind of company that we want to be. We have identified the values that we want to cherish. Our vision is thus a qualitative rendering of our ideal for Toyota and of the path that we will take toward bringing about that ideal. The executives responsible for our regional operations will determine the roles for their operations to play in fulfilling the vision. They will translate the vision’s emphases into concrete management targets. In my remarks, I will outline the vision. And I will describe my expectations of our regional operations. 3. In the backdrop of this vision, there is our fall into the red after the Lehman Brothers collapse, as well as our reflection over a series of quality problems. I came to realize the necessity of having a dream or goal that all people who work for Toyota could have in common, one that would define what kind of company we want to be—what kind of company we should be. As for our series of quality problems, I, personally, played a direct role in explaining to the U.S. Congress, to members of the media around...

Also its about of what it is like to be treated as a criminal in a strange and alien society one to which the immigrant has been drawn precisely because of the attraction of its ideals. Some says, America is in the heart is a social classic from which the life experience of thousands of Filipino immigrants who were attracted to this country by its legendary promises of a better life, people beliefs specially those people who are peasants or people who live at the average status of life that when they go in abroad, they will get what they need, they will also support their family when it comes in financially needs. That’s why people then and until now influences those beliefs. “ I know deep down in my heart,” he wrote , “ that I am an exile in America . . .

...Citizenship is to be accepted as part of the country and to work towards improving your country economically, socially, and where you can be proud of your country. It is to work towards an ideal vision you have set for your country so that you can be prideful about your country. That is why Republicans and Democrats both are capable of being very prideful about their direction they are taking the country even though their visions, of how America should be, are very different. A lot of people have concerns about the direction the country is being led towards, and this has spawned numerous ideologies such as the occupy movement, the tea party, and others. Some people in these groups are radicalized and ashamed of America and some don’t even want to be American due to injustices they believe exist in America. Such as this article from 2012 after the reelection of President Obama from Time Magazine, that states after the reelection 100,000 people signed a petition on the White House website asking for peaceful secession from the United States. Why are these people...
