...I Believe in Perseverance Perseverance is the root of all success. It is the idea that I base my lifestyle off of and is the character trait that defines me the best. I am diligent, hardworking, and tend to never give up on a dream or project I start. Perseverance is the thing that allows people to never give up and do their best on all their accomplishments. This means completing a task no matter how hard or challenging it turns out to be. If someone has perseverance, they will most likely succeed if they don't give up on what they believe they can do. To me, this word shows up all the time in my life. I use it in school, out of school, and in every project I do. One of the main times I have used perseverance was when I was hiking in Lake...

...Analysis Paper Donna Easter University of Virginia Introduction to the Gifted and Talented EDLF 5500 Dr. Kelly Hedrick October 02, 2011 Character Analysis Paper In summarizing the movie Akeelah and the Bee this writer will begin with a description of the leading character Akeelah Anderson. Akeelah is an eleven-year-old seventh grade African-American female living in the inner city. Her educational background revealed she was promoted to a higher level in the second grade. This caused her to be a young middle school student. She is the youngest child of four children. Her father was murdered which caused her to be the product of a single family home. She attended a school that appeared to be aged and had a history of low academic achievement. She was invited to participate in her schools spelling bee where she became the winner for the school. This movie was a depiction of her journey to a national title. While Akeelah demonstrated many gifted characteristics. Research indicates that culturally different learner’s score on average lower than middle-class students on standardize intelligence tests. This may have been the case for Akeelah. According to Frasier & Garcia, (1995) test bias, selective referrals and reliance on deficit-based paradigms cause underrepresentation and identification of minority students in gifted programs. These children are not easily identified and remain invisible (Davis, Rimm, & Siegle, 2011, p. 328). Current research also reflects...

...Essay Accountability and responsibility are sometimes synonymous with each other. In the aspect of being personally responsible is having the primary obligation to something and directly being the cause of triumph or the cause of failure. Even though life events are sometimes out of your control, self accountability is critical when you need to hold a certain level of responsibility because you alone are in control of your life. A technique to control what goes on in your life, and in your day to day routine is to have a schedule or a method to manage time. In academic writing it is important to use to current and valid sources to support ideas or concepts. In order to write and unbiased paper with relevant and accurate information sources must be evaluated properly. Having perseverance through adversity will allow you to maintain a high level of responsibility. A lot of times people blur accountability and responsibility. In some cases this may be true; however regarding personal responsibility the two are very separate. To be accountable is to be obligated to something specific. Currently in our society we have taken a huge step backwards in accountability, we have so many diagnoses and various other ways to escape personal accountability that it has become a paradox to the past. In the past, as a nation we were more accountable for our actions as a society. We were self sufficient and self reliant, we did not look to others to relieve us of our responsibility. For accountability...

...Leadership in the workplace can be the defining factor that determines whether or not a business is successful. This paper serves to identify several different key leadership principles, how they can relate to each other, and how they can properly be utilized in the workplace. Understanding these concepts results in understanding how to lead employees and how to achieve success in business. The skills required to be a successful leader carry over across a multitude of arenas. Included in these arenas is the workplace. In order to be a successful leader at work, individuals must first be well versed in the skills, also known as principles, which make up exceptional leadership. In addition, they must be familiar with the cohesive nature of these principles. Leaders must understand that although each principle is useful in its own right, these principles, when used in conjunction with each other can grow in strength. Research has shown that the individual principles required to be a successful leader are as countless as the stars in the galaxy. However, just like the constellations in a clear night’s sky, patterns emerge when similar principles are grouped together. When these groups of individual principles are identified and applied to the workplace, what emerges is strong leadership that has the potential for success in business. This paper will discuss several of these groups of principles, breaking down the leadership groups into individual principles...

...PSY / 310 | Mary Whiton Calkins | Women In Psychology Paper | | Danielle R. Berg | 5/18/2014 | Select a woman who has made significant contributions to the field of psychology between the years 1850 and 1950. Obtain faculty approval of your selection prior to beginning this assignment. Prepare a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper in which you describe her background, theoretical perspective, and contributions to the field of psychology. | Mary Whiton Calkins was born on March, 30, 1863 to a Presbyterian Minister during a time when oppression of women would be stout during her growing up transitioning into adulthood. She overcame her own struggles and closed doors in regards to her schooling and succeeded in becoming the first female president of the American Psychological Association, but not without a supreme amount of perseverance. During the 19th century, women were thought to be inferior to men, not only physically but intellectually as well. Women could study on their own, but to be included in class as a student rather than a "guest" was next to impossible. Where men thought that education could cause harm to women, the actuality of it was that an educated woman could cause 'harm' to that belief. Mary Whiton Calkins would show the world that her place existed next to the greatness of any male peer within Psychology as she began her own story into the world. Thankfully her parents encouraged her to thrive towards education and overcoming the inferior stereotyping...

...distance on entry mode choice. Keywords: Cultural distance, entry mode choice and language distance 1. Introduction In this time of globalization a lot of companies are expanding their international business activities in overseas market. The ways in which firms are expanding their business in overseas market differ per enterprise and country. The hierarchical model of market entry modes by Pan and Tse (2000) shows that there are different choices of entry modes. Entry modes can be seen as equity-based versus non-equity based. Within equity-based modes, there is a division between equity joint ventures and wholly owned operations. Within nonequity based modes, there is a division between export and contractual agreements. Prior research demonstrated that the choice of entry modes rely upon different types of components. Especially, a lot of previous studies focused on the effect of cultural distance on entry mode choices. Most of the articles exposed that as cultural distance increases, firms are likely to choose non-equity modes over equity modes (Arora and Fosfuri, 2000). There is no consensus among the articles about the relationship between cultural distance and entry mode choice. In addition to that, few articles pointed out the influence of language distance on entry mode...

...Personality Overview Paper Joyce Walker PSY/405 September 5, 2011 George Lawrence-Ell Personality Overview Paper Psychodynamic theories of personality have been identified as the work of Sigmund Freud. These theories emphasize the influence of the unconscious mind and childhood experiences on personality. Psychodynamic theories include Sigmund Freud's psychosexual theory and Erik Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development. Freud believed the three main elements of personality were I'd, the ego and the superego. The id is the particle for all needs and urges, the superego is responsible for ideals and moral and the ego mmediates between the demands of the id, the superego, and reality. Erikson believed that personality elevated through a series of stages, with ccomplex conflicts arising at every stage. The perseverance in any stage depends upon overcoming these conflicts. According to Sigmund Freud, personality is pretty much established by the age of five. Early childhood experiences play a large role in the development of personality and continue to socialize behavior throughout their life. Freud's theory of psychosexual development is one of the best known, but also one of the most controversial. Freud believed that personality develops through a series of childhood stages. During these stages, the pleasure-seeking energies of the id become focused on certain erogenous areas. This psychosexual energy, also known as libido, is described as the force...

...Calvinism and Arminianism The purpose of this paper is to compare two theological positions, namely Calvinism and Arminianism. These are two positions on either side of the extreme concerning free will and predestination. There are those who believe that we have the free will to love and obey God or deny God, and there are those who believe that God, in his sovereignty, has predetermined who will be saved or who will not be saved and neither group is willing to budge. Both sides claim to have the support of Scripture, and both have specific verses that are twisted and manipulated to show support and reasoning. The problem is that both sides appear, on some levels at least, to be right. The question that can be answered from a comparison of these two views is this: What are the basic differences between Calvinism and Arminianism, as well as, their relation to theology, biblical evidence and worldviews? This research paper covers the five key points or articles of Calvinism and Arminianism, as well as, the history, view of God and biblical evidence or support for each position. History The history of Calvinism and Arminianism dates back to the 16th century, where a man named John Calvin was born in 1509. John Calvin was a son of a lawyer and born in Noyon, France where he developed a love for theology and literature. In 1523 he went to the University of Paris where he studied theology, yet in 1528 he went to Orleans and a year later Bourges to study law. With Calvin’s...
