...Machines have taken a huge role in our day-to-day lives. They can either effect us in a good way or in a bad way. Granted, machines have impacted many people in the workplace but they help us finish the jobs. There are many ups and downs to the development of machines. Some people have become so dependent on machines they start to lose their “humanity”. Machines can take away the personal aspect of life. For example, we lose basic courtesy, respect, and tolerance for people due to using machines so much. Some machines that could make that happen are; cellphones, computers, and video games. When people purchase one of these machines they usually are on it and depend on it all the time. Due to the lack of self-motivation through machines we could lose our common courtesy. In the workplace, machines have effected jobs dramatically. They can perform at low-skill repetitive jobs and at high-speed precise jobs. They mostly are better than humans because they are more precise within their work and they are less likely to produce an error. Although machines do help the workplace, they can also harm it as well. By the advancement of so many machines, an abundance of people are losing their jobs due to them.

Due to the advancement of machines people are starting to push themselves to a whole new level. People are becoming...

...Going My Way Could Mean the Highway Zachary I. Knutson Business Practices in the Global Market - #2125 Prof. Creed Final Paper 04/29/2015 As shared in the Introduction section of the textbook “Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands” by Terri Morrison and Wayne Conaway, one of the most important lessons to learn in doing business internationally is that “communication always takes place between individuals, not cultures.” (Morrison pg. ix) We live in an age today where information and knowledge that is almost instantaneous is gradually blending the lines between countries doing business and the individual cultures that those businesses cater to. Today, more foreigners are entering U.S. schools for education and that will only continue to blur the lines between understanding specific business dealings – and understanding how those business dealings will work in a foreign country. If the playing field of business is becoming more and more aligned – where do the missteps happen in regards to doing international business? And if the communication goes successfully between the individuals creating the deal – shouldn’t that be the ‘green light’ for success? My argument is No. Because once the communication is successful in establishing the opportunity to do business internationally – it will then not be in the correct handshakes or presentation of business cards that success will be found – now it’s time to communicate with the culture. Here is where international business could go...

...Esther Joseph Ault-1st period English 1 Pre-AP 25 October 2011 The Dark Side of Us I agree with the statement that the ‘true troublemaker is inside of us’, so we may have associated it as the “shoulder devil” or a dark side. They’re there since childhood, a recent event, a forgotten memory, but in all, it’s our part of the unique personality that we possess. We make mistakes, flaws, or sometimes we have done a faux pas so unbelievable, it’s often astonishing. We often feel if the actions are right or wrong, creating a cynical side to ourselves. Our lives, both good and bad, have experienced events that cause no control over our own selves and make us completely uncontrollable under certain circumstances. The darkness inside personally can slowly become your enemy, agent, adversary at the same time. We cannot begin to feel that shadow over individually because we tend to feel guilty over something. Our lives are lukewarm, worldly, and cynical over the reason that we could be sinful. The analogy for the concept is a happy person falling down a hill and they can’t the vexing pain in their body. Our uncertain selves are touched by a grace that we must acknowledge before our darkness takes over us and to make us into terrible people that we’ll regret. The darkness is like a sweet poison sucked into our lungs; an insanity of life without light for our very lives. We must recognize the darkness within us, in...

...Fashion’s Faux Pas of Hiring for Cultural Fit 1 Fashion’s Faux Pas of Hiring for Cultural Fit Markisha B. Velazquez MGT 500 Organizational Behavior Dr. Matthew D. Kenney 4/11/2015 Kenney College Fashion’s Faux Pas of Hiring for Cultural Fit 2 Introduction With a majority of practicing fashion designers being women, and openly gay male designers at the spotlight receiving more design awards than their heterosexual peers (Stokes, 2013), you would expect the fashion industry to have exemplary diversity hiring practices. However, the fashion industry’s obsession with “fitting in” leads to managers offering jobs to candidates whose physical appearance and lifestyle embody the brand. Of course if your brand sells a certain look and lifestyle, you want your employees representing that lifestyle to eat, sleep, and dress like the brand. However, the practice of hiring for cultural fit can lead to lack of diversity and creativity and overconfidence amongst staff from groupthink. Reverse Discrimination Stokes (2013) reports that out of the 81 men included in Voguepedia’s canon, 51 are openly gay and women outnumber the fashion design labor market with 70% women to 30% men in Canada and 51.6% women in the US. Though the fashion industry disproportionately represents and even idealizes these minorities, diversity still remains an issue in many companies. The tendency to hire and ad...

...Anonymous Student BU204 Unit 1 Assignment August 27th, 2012 Dear President Smith, Upon your request, I have finished my extensive research on the culture and customs of the country of Saudi Arabia. I have come across quite a few things that will not only be helpful to our business professionals over there, but also some that could be a necessity to their wellbeing. First and foremost, if one is not a Muslim, in order to leave Saudi Arabia, there has to be a granting of an exit permit. Anyone without Saudi citizenship that is involved in a business, labor, or employment dismissal dispute will not be allowed to leave the country until the dispute is resolved in a Saudi court. These cases are notorious for being dragged out, and can last anywhere from 3-18 months. Saudi citizens are known to have incredible leverage in these cases, and can block departure or future visitation and employment in the country. This is definitely something for our workers over there to keep in mind during any type of negotiation (travel.state.gov, 2012). While we want our employees to try to assimilate into and be a part of the culture as much as possible, they need to know to draw the line at wearing traditional Saudi clothing. Saudi’s oftentimes find it offensive when they see foreigners wearing traditional Saudi attire. Even though the heat can be overwhelming, it is important that all of our professionals attend meetings in a jacket and tie. They additionally need to try to steer...

The Nutcracker Prince turns the Stahlbaums house into the Land of Snow. The Snow Queen and the Nutcracker Prince dance with the Snowflakes. Clara and the Nutcracker Prince depart for the Kingdom of Sweets in an enchanted sleigh. The dances moves were so peaceful it makes them grab your attention and it was smooth, and balance. It made me think that they wanted the audience to dance with them, and it made me grind my teeth and shift in my seats. It certainly did me when I began to go to see "The Nutcracker," though I must admit he loved it and laughed delightedly. Clara's...

As being what is indicated, we can remember Superman's birthplace and improvement into a collaboration that advanced between the makers of the Man of Steel, the historical backdrop of the US amid the post-war period, and the fans who purchased the comic books and made Superman an American symbol.

...Jackie looked out the window as the plane began its descent into Montréal-Mirabel International Airport with a gentle smile in her eyes. Laughingly she thought ‘On my tombstone they will write, “She kept her promises”.’ Soon she will be on the road and on her way to see her friend Brigitte at the surprise party her fourth, yes fourth, husband had organized for her 50th birthday. Many years before Jackie had pack backed her way across Canada after her fiancé had broken her heart. She was determined to escape her small country town and the even smaller minds living there. It was in Canada she met Brigitte. Brigitte was 19 years old then, had had twelve jobs in six months and almost as many boyfriends. Jackie was 23, had one job and one serious boyfriend her whole life. How different could two girls be? Yet they bonded. Jackie still remembered the promise they had made just before she left Canada to return home some 20 months after her journey had begun. They would meet again in Vieux Quebec for Brigitte’s 50th birthday. She already knew the first words she would say to Brigitte, a reminder of a time long ago when fear gripped them both for 10 whole minutes. They had kept in occasional touch over the intervening years, initially quite frequently but over time it had dwindled to sending Christmas and birthday cards. Brigitte has long forgotten the promise. Jackie recalled………. Arriving in Vancouver, jet lagged, alone, and still hurting. It just happened to be the one and...

...atomet findes en central kerne. Elektroner som kredser omkring kernen er arrangeret i forskellige skaller og energitrin. En elektron i en af de inderste skaller har mindre energi end en elektron som befinder sig i en skal længere ude. I 1913 fremsatte Niels Bohr en model for hvordan atomer var opbygget. Den bliver i dag kaldt Bohrs atommodel. Teorien gik ud på, at hvis atomet fik tilført energi, så ville elektronen flytte sig væk fra kernen, til en ydere bane omkring atomkernen, og omvendt. Når en elektron springer fra en større bane til en mindre bane, udsendes en foton, altså lys. Når elektronen får tilført energi hopper den ud i en ydere bane, fraføre den energi kan den derimod hoppe ind i mere indre baner. Energi kan tilføres fra et foton, altså lys. Lys kan betragtes som fotoner, altså små energi pakker. Et eksempel kunne være; Der er en elektron i bane 3. Elektronen går fra en bane med høj energi til en bane med lavere energi. Det vil sige at elektronen mister energi ved udsendelse af lys. Der udsendes en foton (altså lys) Øget potentiel energi, overskuds energi udsendes som lys. Elektronen vil gerne være tæt på kernen. Atomer absorbere lys, når elektronen rykker ud, og omvendt når elektronen rykker ind. Engergien er lys. Det synlige spektrum har bølgelængder gående fra 380 til 750 nm[1], hvilket inkluderer farverne gående fra violet over blå, gul og grøn til rød. Stråling med bølgelængder, der ligger lige under det synlige spektrum, kaldes ultraviolet lys, mens...

...08 Fall 08 Fall Northern Telecom Northern Telecom Case 3 Case 3 Sammanfattning Northern Telecom Limited (NT) var, år 1983, näst störst inom design och tillverkning av varor ämnade för telekommunikation. Med växande intäkter från 1,9 miljarder dollar 1979 till 2,6 miljarder dollar 1981. Bell Canada ägde 52% utav företagets stamaktier. Företagets operationer ordnades genom fem huvudsakliga dotterbolag, däribland Northern Telecom Canada Limited (NTC). NTC hade sitt huvudsäte i Ontario och var organiserat i fyra operativa grupper som i sin tur styrde 27 tillverkningsfabriker och 14 utvecklings – och forskningslaboratorier. En utav dessa operativa grupper var ”The Subscriber Equipment Group” som tillverkade, reparerade och renoverade telekommunikation. Denna grupp omfattade i sin tur fem divisioner, däribland SAD (Station Apparatus Division) som tillverkade telefoner för privatpersoner i Kanada, USA och resten av världen. I mars 1983 började Northern Telecom’s nya telefon ”Harmony” ta form. ”Harmony” togs fram, genom SAD i ett försök att förebygga stängningen av fabriken i London, Kanada. ”Harmony” var den första telefonen i en produktfamilj av fyra: En enkel bostadstelefon (”Harmony”) och en fullt utrustad sådan (Signature) samt två företagstelefoner, en enkel (Unity I) och en mer avancerad (Unity II). Det förelåg oklarhet i hur man skulle marknadsföra produktfamiljen samt vilka tillverkningsmetoder som bör användas. ”Harmony” var...
