...Mid Finals I. Age of Exploration The Age of Exploration or Age of Discovery as it is sometimes called, officially began in the early 15th century and lasted until the 17th century. The period is characterized as a time when Europeans began exploring the world by sea in search of trading partners, new goods, and new trade routes. In addition, some explorers set sail to simply learn more about the world. Whatever their reasons though, the information gained during the Age of Exploration significantly helped in the advancement of geographic knowledge. Reasons for Exploration and Key Voyages Though the desire to simply explore the unknown and discover new knowledge is a typical human trait, the world's famous explorers often lacked the funding needed for a ship, supplies, and a crew to get underway on their journeys. As a result, many turned to their respective governments which had their own desires for the exploration of new areas. Many nations were looking for goods such as silver and gold but one of the biggest reasons for exploration was the desire to find a new route for the spice and silk trades. When the Ottoman Empire took control of Constantinople in 1453, it blocked European access to the area, severely limiting trade. In addition, it also blocked access to North Africa and the Red Sea -- two very important trade routes to the Far East. The first of the journeys associated with the Age of Discovery were conducted by the Portuguese under Prince Henry the Navigator...

...Nariman Mohamed 00051742 Wri102,sec17 Nov12,2014 Do advertisements affect children? Most of the ads are targeted to the children, but will the child be affected by the ad he or she watches on the television? Some of the advertisement contains violent acts. For instance, Persil, the washing powder, shows two children fighting and pushing each other, then bloodstain remains on the shirt. Those kinds of advertisements are meant to show that the washing powder will remove any stain. However, some parents complained that those kinds of advertisements affected their children in a negative way and they started copying what they saw. While people are complaining about how advertisements are affecting their children, they forgot that it is their responsibility to guide their children and control what they are watching. Therefore, Advertisements do not affect children in a negative way as most people think. Janice & Ania said, “… Advertisements of junk food should be banned to help fight child obesity.”(N.d, para9). It is widely believed by people that the main reason for obesity. Additionally, people think that advertisements are meant to corrupt child and make then unethical. All these thoughts and confusions are based on inadequate reasoning, which makes their argument invalid in most of the time. For instance, children feel that whenever that the advertisement is colorful and full of cartoon characters, children will be fascinated with the advertisement so that they will...

He choose his surname “Nestle” as the name logo of the company which means a “little nest”. In 1904 Nestle introduced its chocolates in the market. But when the availability of raw materials reduced during the First World War, Nestle purchased lot of factories in U.S and increased their production to twice as their pre-war production. Immediately, after the end of the war consumers switched back their choice to fresh milk due to which Nestle recorded its first loss. However they updated their operations and brought production in line with sales and thereby dropping the debts. In 1930 Nestle introduced several new products like Milo and Nescafe. Nestle achieved considerable growth after the end of Second World War because of diversification within the food sector. The sales of Nescafe instant coffee quadrupled between 1960 and 1974. In 1980's Nestle drew criticism from many organizations on account of promotion of infant formula over breast feeding which allegedly led to death of infants in less developed countries.

Hypothesis 1: Joseph Rogers appears to have a true disconnect with emotional intelligence and understanding Andrew Yard’s motivation. In the reading, Andrew Yard clearly stated during the interviews that he would need to fulfill his contract with AJW prior to departing. The reason being was specific to Yard’s perception and how he wanted to be viewed by his soon to be former team and as a fulfillment to a previously agreed upon six month notice. It was important to Yard to leave on a positive note and in good standing with the company. Through verbal admission, it was made clear that Yard valued his existing role enough and wanted to portray high emotional and social intelligence with regards to his team. For Rogers, pressure was building up from outside sources such as the CEO and COO to fulfill the vacant role as soon as possible within AC.
