...Others possibly could be due to the fact that they are not open minded about things like equality and giving other people chances to move above where they sit. Unfortunately that is how the majority of society is and it doesn’t always change for the better. Men and women both are the same in certain aspects but treated so different in many others. A general setting in where this happens is in society. Before I get into what they are I want to talk about where they come from and what they are influenced by. The main contributor to this subject is the media. Things like music, television, movies, internet and even things like blogs can set an idea or thought and then kick it into motion. The thing that differs how an idea from present time to past time spreads is the media. In this time we have many more influences on society then 50 years ago. Our parents and elders are also a huge part of where we get our views on men and women I society because they get it from their parents and so on, it all goes back so far. Our culture is also so influential on everything we believe nowadays and our culture is what set the ideas for our grandparents and parents to follow. For example, what might seem right to someone of Hispanic decent possibly could not seem right to someone from an Asian background. All that combined is what makes us see the way we look at men and women today. In today’s time there are still some views on the places of men and women in society that have been around since the...

...We would be nothing without the experiences that form us. Both the good and the bad etch themselves into how we see and feel the world. If we are lucky, work hard and learn our lessons then, hopefully, the good outweigh the bad. We learn that the world is an exciting but also a dangerous place. Certainly most of us have had our fingers burnt at some time or another. That is, bad things have happened to us during our lives. They range from the physical scars we bear from cuts, breaks, illnesses and diseases that strike us down sometimes without warning. They are the accidents from simply falling over or from going head to head with a car. They are the psychological scars from tragedies such as bereavement or divorce. We often say that given time, we will recover. We will get better. Things will improve. Time, we say is a great healer. Time itself though if we think about it, is indifferent to our various crises and celebrations. Time, we seem to have universally agreed is a unit measuring the distance between two events. The hours, weeks, months and years themselves do not do anything. It is how we fill our time that makes it productive, or wastes it. Different people in the same period of time will do very different things. One might write a masterpiece, another might embroider a quilt. One might do nothing but watch TV. The same amount of time has passed but with very different results. It is up to us to give the time value and meaning. When we suffer an injury, we know that...

...the tutorial lesson. Actually, it is of great importance for us to know exactly what we are doing in the moment. It is because we can avoid wasting our time and life in doing some meaningless things. Meditation can help us to stay focus on what we are doing in the moment and know more about our goals. Monkey mind, which means an unsettled and uncontrollable mind, is always the stumbling block for gaining a clear and sharp mind. Hence, by meditating, we can avoid getting a monkey mind as our mind is calmed and concentrated during the process of meditation. Usually, people will think about their future, i.e. the deadlines of their projects, and their past, i.e. past exam results. However, seldom do they concern about the work they are doing at present. For instance, some people may be stuck in their unsatisfied past exam results for a very long time. During that period of time, they would just be upset but doing nothing. However, it is meaningless. If...

...Financial and Managerial Accounting. Financial and management accounting are both important tools for a business, but serve different purposes. A business uses accounting to determine operational plans in the future, to review past performance and to check current business functions. Management and financial accounting have different audiences, as investors are not usually involved in the day-to-day operations of the business but are concerned about their investment, whereas managers need information quickly to make daily business decisions. Financial Accounting Financial accounting is used to present the financial health of an organization to its external stakeholders. Board of directors, stockholders, financial institutions and other investors are the audience for financial accounting reports. Financial accounting presents a specific period of time in the past and enables the audience to see how the company has performed. Financial accounting reports must be filed on an annual basis, and for publically traded companies, the annual report must be made part of the public record. Management Accounting Management or managerial accounting is used by managers to make decisions concerning the day-to-day operations of a business. It is based not on past performance, but on current and future trends, which does not allow for exact numbers. Because managers often have to make operation decisions in a short period of time in a fluctuating environment, management accounting relies...

...My Past, Present, and Future PSY 202 My past was my future, and both were full of doubt and unwillingness to continue my education after I graduated from high school. After high school, three individuals impacted my life and changed my views on family, life, and education. Several years passed with me working a steady job until I found myself almost unemployed and needing the education I had not pursued. This resulted in my decision to join the Army to support my financial needs. I felt satisfied with my employment, until I decided to have a family of my own and with this expansion; I knew I had to further my education to meet the requirements to excel in my career. These life experiences changed my views on family, life, and education. Unfortunately, I was always unbalanced and unable to meet the educational needs that needed to be settled in my life. The three individuals that have influenced my life, and who have helped me become the person that I am today are my father, my uncle, and my wife. Their influence has greatly affected who I am and who I want to be. Urie Bronfenbrenner stated, “Ecological theory proposes that human development is best explained in terms of the interaction between individuals and the environments in which they live or have lived” (Witt & Mossler, 2010, p. 53). My father was a big influence, directing me to conduct myself as a man should. He instilled morals, beliefs, and responsibilities that helped me to look for the good in everyone...

...It seems that the NYT has at least attempted to make some progresses in finding a more sustainable business model as opposed to remain status quo, in which falling advertising revenues and printing subscriptions are industry norms. A comparison of digital subscriptions between 227,000 from the 2007 TimeSelect trial and 390,000 from the current paywall (by February 2012) has suggested a sign of a more successful model at present. In addition, the paper announced 70% of traditional print subscription audiences have registered for the digital access over 10 months since the new paywall was implemented, and that, overall, indicates an enormous potential for the digital subscription growth in the future – a habitual change from print to digital copies among readers. Extra revenues can be generated from this habitual change not only from digital subscriptions alone, but also cost savings to deliver digital copies than print ones. A consistent growth of online advertising by 5% was also reported in Q4 2011 for the News Media Group, combining the current and potential growths mentioned above, we consider the NYT has found a strategy that is working for them at the present time. However, despite some bolstering figures above, the NYT’s low subscription ratio among online readers (i.e. less than 25% of its 1.1 million site users subscribed for digital contents) remains a concern whether it can attract new digital subscriptions over long term. Further, the NYT’s high subscription fees...

Most of us don’t know the names of accounting innovators; in reality, there are no names were known before the Italian Renaissance. The early history and scholars from many fields showed the importance of accounting to so many aspects of economics and culture in the past. Archaeologists discover the interpretations of the artifacts of the ancient accountants, and it is developed over 5,000 years. Accounting was main factor to the success of Italian merchants, necessary to the birth of the Renaissance and Industrial Revolution firms. Nowadays, a global economy integrated information system is a reality, creating new accounting paradigms. Understanding accounting history is needed to develop a link to predict this future business world. The only way we can understand who we are as an accountant and how we got to be that way is by studying the past.

...fear will not exist because the mind itself will not exist. Our fear of death, according to Epicurus, is a manufactured fear with no rational basis. We fear the unknown and we fear what cannot ever be known. Therefore, such a fear is pointless. Epicurus advises Menoeceus instead to live as if he was immortal, a god in other words. He doesn’t mean that Menoeceus should believe he suddenly has godlike powers. Instead, he means that Menoeceus should discard any thoughts of death and live as if he is as immortal as the gods. In my opinion, the philosophy of Epicurus has a lot in common with the current popularity of “mindfulness.” The ideas are much the same – that one should live entirely in the present moment. Regrets are useless since the past cannot be changed; fears of the future are meaningless since the future is always unknown. (Why worry about something that may never happen?) We can enjoy the...

...help encourage them to reach toward their future accomplishments. The two minds that we have tend to not compromise with each other on what decision to make so we battle with ourselves giving in to temptation. Any progress to our goal is successful as long as we keep up with our perseverance and keep following the right path to a happy future. Receiving guidance and encouragement to motivate a person will make them feel like they have a back bone there for support. We should not remember our simple mistakes but to demolish them with a new encounterment if it occurs. Making wise decisions so our future selves won't receive the consequences and responsibilities. Self forgiveness is the key to guide us to let go of the guilty setbacks from the past and the underestimation of the present and future. The process to any ambition takes dedication and commitment to complete its journey. Anyone can have the same intention but I think that everyone has different boundaries when it comes to actually going through the course. Some may however find the task to be quite simple and some may not. The author mentioned a quote saying that “you can't be trusted to anything you say you will” (147). To be honest I would say “I will do this” or “I want to do that” but when you...

...Education as Conservative and Progressive Chapter 6 of Democracy and Education by John Dewey 1. Education as Formation. We now come to a type of theory which denies the existence of faculties and emphasizes the unique role of subject matter in the development of mental and moral disposition. According to it, education is neither a process of unfolding from within nor is it a training of faculties resident in mind itself. It is rather the formation of mind by setting up certain associations or connections of content by means of a subject matter presented from without. Education proceeds by instruction taken in a strictly literal sense, a building into the mind from without. That education is formative of mind is not questioned; it is the conception already propounded. But formation here has a technical meaning dependent upon the idea of something operating from without. Herbart is the best historical representative of this type of theory. He denies absolutely the existence of innate faculties. The mind is simply endowed with the power of producing various qualities in reaction to the various realities which act upon it. These qualitatively different reactions are called presentations (Vorstellungen). Every presentation once called into being persists; it may be driven below the "threshold" of consciousness by new and stronger presentations, produced by the reaction of the soul to new material, but its activity continues by its own inherent momentum, below the surface of consciousness...

My strengths help me become a better person and my weaknesses keep me fighting to be that better person. Recognizing my own personal strengths, I am able to build on them and use them towards my advantage. I believe these attributes make you who you are and show your true abilities as a person. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and they differ from one person to another. What I learned from my peers about myself is that they see me as being an older brother. I was willing to give my peers some advice based on some of my past experiences. That been there done that type of person. Will this affect my future behavior? For me it won’t.
