...only reason why some of the members of the tribe are being a danger to the modern people is that they feel threaten. It’s saddening that slowly the tribes are disappearing and that some people just forget about them like they never existed. Well honestly, they are not the only ones that will be gone but the beautiful surroundings that they are also trying to preserve. Like the forest in Brazil, it is the Surui Indian tribe who are protecting this from the illegal loggers. Their lives are being threatened and they have no one protecting them from it except with their beliefs. It’s really a relief that they have Almir Suri who is part of their tribe and is really trying to fight for the tribe’s survival. Even though he had study in a nice university outside their place, he hasn’t forgotten where he came from and is still ready to help them grow more. Also, I think Almir is trying to show the world that he can also put up with the abilities of the modern people, that even though he started from being a member of a tribe whose life is just simple yet civilized, he knows what the overall people...

...Book Review: Nice Guys Can Get the Corner Office What is this book about? In the book Nice Guy Can Get the Corner Office, the author challenged the adage “Nice guys finish last.” He believed that a guy can be nice and successful at business at the same time. The subtitle would tell us better about what’s in this book: "Eight Strategies for Winning in Business without Being a Jerk." The author defines “nice” as a constructive and consciously chosen approach to relationships that is founded on: * Attempting to optimize outcomes for both others and ourselves * Striving to balance assertiveness with cooperation to achieve a spirit of collaboration * Honoring the value and strength of others and ourselves * Seeking optimal outcomes for everyone involved by emphasizing truthfulness and authenticity * Opening confronting challenges and disagreements and embracing the innovation-promoting benefits of constructive idea conflict The author also defines “success in business” as need are fulfilled—individual’s need as well as the needs of others. The authors surveyed more than 350 nice guys and found out that most of them are “too nice”. And these overly nice guys are always struggling between “eager to please others” (being too nice) and “fulfill their own needs (being successful in business).” This book gives eight strategies to help those overly nice guys balance being nice and being a jerk when achieving success. These eight strategies consists of eight rights...

...What Every MBA Student in the World Needs to Know Sandeep Krishnamurthy http://faculty.washington.edu/sandeep 1 Management ≠ analysis. What you are learning in school is analysis. You are being taught tools and techniques. Analysis is just one of the ingredients in the recipe. You may have the best analysis in the room. However, if your analysis is not heard and taken seriously, it is of no value. Too often, talented people with the best answers sit in the back of the room while hacks run the show. If you enjoy the view from the back, getting an MBA will not change anything. A MBA degree only works if you are willing to transform yourself. Are you? 2 Einstein would have been a terrible manager. There is a huge misconception among students that being smart is the way to be successful. Let me break this to you. It is not about being smart. There are many smart people who are absolutely incompetent managers. Not to mention the fact that many smart people are first-rate jerks. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you have to be dumb to succeed. What I am saying is that you do not have to be a Mensan to make it to the top. All you need is average intelligence. But, you need other qualities. 3 Bill Clinton would have been an excellent manager. The man had his faults. But, he could communicate like few others. Bad managers are, frequently, terrible communicators. They have good ideas. They simply don’t know how to get them across. You cannot lead, motivate or sell if you cannot...

...desirable neighbors. It is a fact that all of us have our own difficulties and nothing is more meaningful than a hand given to us in time of need. For instance, when you are busy organizing a get-together with all members in your family but the fact that you have forgotten to purchase one of the most important ingredients threatens to ruin your main dish. However, you can easily have the neighbors to travel to the market and buy it for you. That’s an accurate picture of a helpful neighbor who you should be grateful to. Furthermore, a kind neighbor from my point of view would have the quality of sympathy. Having someone to care about you and share their feelings with you is necessary when you are experiencing a tough time in life . For example, a nice neighbor to a widow who has just lost her husband in a terrible accident must help her to overcome with grief. There may be cases where there are children whose their parents got dirvoced. In such cases, a good neighbor is required to treat them equally to other kids instead of gossiping anything about them. In addition to helpfulness and sympathy, a neighbor who possess a sense of integrity would be perfect. I can endure the fact that there are some two-faced people who always steal my properties such as water, electricity supply and even illegaly use my wireless internet connection. To sum up, my portrait of an obliging neighbor must be a caring, sympathetic and trustworthy...

...Catherine McFarland Title: Time to Dream America Topic: To encourage college students to take a course on sleeping to better their future. Rhetorical Purpose: To persuade Specific purpose: To persuade the audience that if universities offered a course to allow students to take a nap during the day would be beneficial to their health, education, and is not a waste of money. Truthfully, it is supposed to be a light hearted speech, that would give college students something to think about. Thesis Statement: Sleep is beneficial to your emotional, cognitive and physical health. I believe that Mizzou and other universities should offer a course in napping to allow students to reap the benefits, to achieve the proper amount of sleep and to become well-rounded members of society. I. INTRODUCTION A) Attention Getter: How many of you are like me, and still driving that old Junker around, or maybe don’t have a car? How many of you would like a nice car someday? Okay. How many of you want a nice house someday? And to go with that nice house, would you like a family to go with it? What about being successful? My friends what we want is that “American Dream.” And how are we supposed to get it if we are not sleeping properly? We are so worried about being successful that we forget think sleep is getting in the day of our lives, but it’s the dismissal of sleep that could be holding us back from achieving all that we want. B) “What’s in it for them: According to the survey...

...Online Vs. Traditional Education Interested in pursuing higher education? Well, universities have made it possible for students to have different options when earning a degree. Students now have the option of attending online courses or traditional courses. The option of these two classrooms are completely up to the student, and it is important to choose wisely and consider the type of lifestyle the student lives. When it is time to draw a conclusion about choosing an online class or a traditional class there are many components to consider, such as comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each class. Flexibility is an imperative factor that students need to consider when deciding which type of courses to attend. Online classes can provide flexibility for students because they can work at their pace in an effort to complete any and all academic responsibilities. Students have the luxury of choosing when they want to work on completing academic responsibilities, and when to meet deadlines for the course. Online course provides the ability to be accessible at all times, but the work that required is expected to be quality work. Traditional classes can also be flexible depending on the times and days that the student selects to attend courses. Universities are now providing more night classes and early morning classes for the working and family-oriented students. Some traditional classes provide more lecturing and sometimes are more hands on in order to teach the concepts...

...E. Major Disadvantages of Recommendation A major disadvantage is that our initial test market, SUNY Cortland students and the city of Cortland, are both smaller markets. In 2014, SUNY Cortland had 6,317 undergraduate students enrolled for the fall semester (SUNY Cortland, 2014). That is small compared to Syracuse University that has 14,532 enrolled students for the fall 2014 semester (Syracuse University, 2014). Therefore, our app will not reach as large of an audience, if we released it to a larger school. The Cortland area is also a smaller city compared to other places. Therefore, Cortland does not have as many activities available compared to a much larger city. For example, Syracuse has semi-professional baseball, hockey teams, and a nice mall. Cortland does not have any professional teams or a nice mall. However, SUNY Cortland has hosted the New York Jets for training camp. Even though SUNY Cortland is a smaller market, we...

...students are chosen, who may demonstrate scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These traits are highly beneficial to gain, especially when seeking a job, and doing well in your job. Owning these traits, would also help one be a superior dentist. In my 17 years, I believe I have actively demonstrated these characteristics. One of the most beneficial attributes as a high school student is scholarship. I currently have a 97 career GPA, as well, I am taking 2 AP classes and have taken 2 AP courses in my junior year. Each year since 8th grade, I've also enrolled in 2 sciences classes. I take honors classes if the option is available. On top of keeping my grades up in high school, I also take online college classes through Clarion University. I've taken College Writing and U.S. History, receiving an A in both classes. The leadership trait in me shines when I am on a softball field. I am a captain on 3 teams: A-C Valley softball team, A-C Valley cross country team and ROC Elite traveling softball team. Being a leader on two teams, it is critical that I always be the best I can. When I'm down, so is my team, which is why it is important for me to be positive and inspire my teammates to...

...is an even bigger deal. Montclair State University is the school of my dreams and even just being considered is an honor within itself. I can foresee myself being a Red Hawk and I have for quite some time now. There are so many fantastic qualities to be found in this University that I couldn't even begin to list them and narrowing down that list to a few reasons has been very difficult. My top three reasons for wanting to attending Montclair State University would have to be the atmosphere, the filmmaking major, and how accepting the school is as a whole. I recently visited the Montclair State University campus for the first time in my life and I was completely taken back. It's so beautiful, and dare I say breathtaking. Something about it just makes the campus feel like home. So many of the students on the campus that day had nothing but good things to say about where they were. The most important thing, though, was how happy everyone seemed to...

...that a scholarship should be payment enough (Dosh 52). After all, a scholarship can be easily worth $15,000 - $25,000 or more per year, plus a career after college that can be worth a million dollars over a lifetime. Additionally, student athletes receive all kinds of perks while they are in college, like staying at fancy hotels, being seen on national television, and all of the notoriety that goes with being an athlete. It is hard to put a price tag on all of that. However, considering the fact that certain college sports generate millions of dollars for college athletic programs, many people believe the athletes are being used. If the average football scholarship is worth $20,000 per year, yet the university gains $70,000 per year in revenue per scholarship player, the university will profit $50,000 per year, per scholarship player, or $200,000 over a four year period (Spurrier, 12). The NCAA should establish a rule that gives every college athlete a $1,000 monthly allowance, because college athletes cannot use their scholarships to pay for their many expenses. A story that was told in one of Dr. John Acquaviva’s articles was about a certain player named Roy Finch that spoke out on the topic of college athletes receiving payment. Roy Finch sent out a tweet that said, “I'm tired of thinking it’s time for action....I need to get paid trying to get my money up. School faking on the money so I gotta go get it...." A few months later Roy Finch was in an investigation that accused...

...I am excited to be applying to UNC Wilmington because I believe that the university has the perfect atmosphere. When I went and toured earlier this year, I was blown away by how modern the facilities are and how nice the campus is. The school spirit is obvious, and as I walked around I could tell that each student showed a sense of pride and love for their school. After I finished my tour, I felt that UNCW was the college I could see myself attending, and from that day on I’ve wanted to call the campus home. I have been going to school with the same group of friends since middle school, and we have all grown up together and became close. Knowing that UNCW’s campus has a smaller, close-knit community, similar to my high school experience, I...
