...In chapter 27, entitled, “Title IX at 40,” Mary Jo Kane analyzes the importance that Title IX has played for women in sports and corrected many misconceptions associated with the legislation. Following the enactment of Title IX, women’s participation in sports has increased substantially; however, work toward integration of women in the sports world is not complete. As Kane says in her conclusion, parity has not yet been attained (252). Therefore, not only do I agree with Kane, but also I will argue that headway in some aspects of athletics has actually been reversed since the implementation of Title IX. My main argument follows the disjunctive model as follows: Either Title IX improved all aspects of women’s participation in sports, or had a neutral affect on women’s sports, or Title IX diminished women’s contribution to sports in some ways, while improving others. Title IX did not completely improve women’s participation in sports. Therefore, Title IX has diminished some of women’s contributions to the sports world....

...Title IX: Equity or Elimination? Issues of gender equity have confronted American society since its inception. The Declaration of Independence specifically states that all "men" are created equal, leaving out women, just as the Constitution originally denied women the right to vote. Over the past two and a half centuries, however, women have striven to obtain equal rights. In 1848, for instance, leaders of the women's suffrage movement, such as Susan B. Anthony, adopted a Declaration of Sentiments calling for an equal rights amendment including women ("Women's Rights" par. 1). In 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution finally adhered to their wishes, giving women the right to vote. Despite these important steps, women in the United States, a nation founded on the ideals of freedom and equality, continue to battle for equal rights. A key moment in this fight for equality occurred in 1972 with the passage of the Title IX Amendment to the Equal Opportunity in the Education Act. Title IX states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance" (Sadker par. 2). This piece of legislation has had a profound impact upon college athletics. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has interpreted Title IX as requiring an equal opportunity for male and female athletes at our...

...Gandhi once said “All leadership begins with self-mastery. You can’t lead others until you can first lead yourself.” That statement alone, till this day, still changes many social and academic perspectives on what real leadership should consist of by definition. Yet, the real question still lies, what does it mean to be a leader? Does leadership come from the role you play within one’s organization or does it have more to do with their social abilities such as displaying or communication ideas to fellow staff members? To me, it’s more than that. Titles are important, yet not all titles can fully illustrate what a committed, hardworking, employee actually does for their company. I am a firm believer that true leadership cannot be awarded, appointed or assigned. There have been great leaders who did not hold high positions such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr who never officially held a position during the civil rights movement and yet still found ways to convince the masses to protest with using violence. In this novel, Author Mark Sanborn simply defines leadership as “an invitation to greatness that we extend to others”. The problem is that a person can’t extend this invitation without accepting it themselves first; you can’t expect a commitment from others when you aren’t willing to make the commitment yourself. The great Inventors, Scholars, and Business Innovators throughout history all had two things in common; one is that they truly believed in changing mankind for...

...[Your Name] [Instructor Name] [Course Number] [Date] [Title]: Solar Energy / Power Solar Energy is An Excellent Source of Alternative Energy Because It is Renewable, It Is economical, and It Is Environmental Safe In recent decades scientists have considered the use of solar energy as an application of alternative energy sources. For many years solar energy is considered an outstanding worldwide energy source. Solar energy and solar power are two different terms. Solar power is converting sunlight into electricity. “The potential of solar energy with technologies and the reductions in climate changes could provide most of the worlds energy by 2060 according to IEA report in 2011.” Solar energy is an excellent source of alternative energy because it is renewable, it is economical, and it is environmental safe. This essay describes several features that categorize solar energy as an excellent source of energy and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy. Solar energy derives its power from the sun radiation striking the earth. Not all sunlight reaches the earth surface. Yet that which is received is more than the human species need to sustain life. The energy of the sun radiation that is deposit in our region of North America is sufficient. Solar energy is a renewable energy source as well. With technology, the cost to install solar panels outweighs the cost of producing coals, oil and gas. The amount of solar radiation- sunlight deposited...

...The Death of an Innocent Both Boo Radley and Tom Robinson can be characteristized as victims of injustice; however, Tom Robinson is the ultimate mockingbird because he was put on trial and killed despite his innocence. As an illustration of the trial is painted within the courtroom as the novel progresses, Tom Robinson’s innocence is demonstrated, yet denied. Atticus presents this in his closing argument,“ The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence… It has relied instead upon the testimony of two witnesses whose evidence has not only been called into serious question on cross examination…” (Lee 271). Tom’s left hand is disabled making him inconveniently incapable of beaten Mayella on the right side of her face. Having his impairment accounted for, the occurence of events claimed by Mayella and Bob Ewell, and the injuries sustained from the event would be conflicting. The prejudice existing in the society continued its influence into the courtroom where an all white jury examined the case. Tom was innocent, yet convicted guilty because the opposing claim came from a white family, so his elegid actions had to be punished to maintain the injustice and prejudice the town contains and the...

...team schedule to accommodate growth and expansion, changing the schedule from 8:00am-5:00pm, Monday thru Friday, to four twelve hour shifts. The employees would rotate four days on and four days off Monday thru Sunday. The employee has filed a lawsuit stating the schedule change was in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title VII is a civil right law applicable to employers with 15 or more employees, as well as employment agencies and labor unions (Society for Human Resource Management, 2013). The law specifically addresses discrimination in the workplace. The case presented relates specifically to section 703 which states it is unlawful to discriminate against an individuals race, color, religion, sex, or national origin ("Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964",2013). The employee is claiming the company was in violation of this section by scheduling him to work on his religious holy day. Yet, the question remains as to whether the company intentionally violated the employee's religious rights by changing shifts, or was it in response to business growth and development? Company Response According to Title VII of the civil rights act, the company is required to accommodate the employee's religious practices or beliefs unless it will not allow the company to operate...

...experienced B. Unknown future IV. The title and its interpretation A. Simple or complex title B. Ulterior meanings of the title V. Making the choice A. Living with the choice you made B. Having the guts to choose The Road Not Taken is a simple, yet contrastingly complex, meaningful poem about a simple walk on an unsure road in the woods, which leads to places only the traveler will know as the choice unfolds. This is a poem told by the narrator, but based on the readers’ outlook on life. At first glance, Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken”, is about a walk on a leaf-littered road in the fall woods, but it has a more significant meaning of how it feels to live with life’s certainty, uncertainty. The poem is celebrated as one of Frost’s masterpieces, created with a unique style, ironically, forcing the reader to make a choice as well, on the opinions created from each readers unique perspective. In the end, a sigh by the lone traveler could mean regret or it could mean satisfaction, which is up to the reader to define. The Road Not Taken has memorized readers for almost a century forcing people to think about the choices in life, not unlike the protagonist facing his own simple choice and the consequences that follow him for the remainder of his life. Regret and hindsight are one possible theme to the poem”A Road Not Taken”. The uncertainty of life and what the future holds is yet another. This poem has been debated...

The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] | "Relationship selling is dead!" Various business authors and critics alike have been quoted recently in proclaiming the death of the relationship selling model. One such claim is that in today's increasingly fast-paced and ever-competitive business environment customers simply don't have the time to develop a relationship with you, the seller. Another article argues that with the advent of the internet, most products and services are commodities and therefore most customer generally buy solely based upon price, regardless of whether you have taken the time to develop a relationship or not. However, each of these articles contradict themselves in content by conveying that relationships are necessary to establish an ongoing customer needs analysis. The basis for their claim is the separation of the service of their product from the act of selling it. Meanwhile, each articles fails to acknowledge the utter importance of the return customer's needs and future needs with this ideology. To truly determine whether or not relationship selling is a thing of the past we must first investigate the importance of the relationship...
