One major strength of the constitution is the believe that all men are created equal. One unique major weakness it can be extremely vague and it is a 100 years out of date.

...Personal Action Plan Nephia Stevens HCS/449 December 26, 2013 Donita Green Personal Action Plan The importance of a personal action plan is a fool proof blueprint to a successful beginning and ending of your career of choice. The decision must be the importance of realistic and achievable goals. Once the first set of goals has been established the process has to be kept going by reviewing and updating my to-do list on a daily basis. A useful way of making goals more powerful is to use the SMART mnemonic. SMART usually stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. But before any of these new found goals can become a reality one must scope out their strengths and weaknesses. That would be a simple and easy answer if the question is only answered by me. My husband and children may say otherwise. I feel my strengths are working and communicating well with others no matter what a situation may bring. I also have the strength of defusing pressured moments when things spiral out of control. With that being said those are strengths that can be valued in the profession I am seeking for my new found career. Now my weakness on the other hand is speaking in front of a large crowd I would love to get over that fear. I have no problem with engaging in private and intimate conversations with a smaller number of people. Another weakness is time management, I am a procrastinator when it comes to paperwork, but I know I am coming along well...

...2x case studies Charlotte Charlotte is ten years old and attends merry primary school. The first factor is that Charlotte’s first language is Latvian, and her English vocabulary is restricted to basic words and phrases. Charlotte struggles communicating with other children and her teacher which reflects badly on her progress in all subjects. Charlotte withdraws herself from group discussions and one-to-one conversations due to low esteem. Charlotte also suffers from anxiety which is a second factor. Charlotte has also been blind since birth and this is the final factor affecting Charlotte’s ability to communicate. Due to the age of her class peers, they don’t understand why charlotte is the way she is, so often charlotte gets mocked for being different. During communication Charlotte rarely responds and never asks questions when she is confused or struggling to complete work. To overcome these two communication barriers which are her language choice and disability, it would be useful if Charlotte had the support off a translator who would be able to inform Charlotte of information passed onto her by the teachers and other children, however in Latvian. This would help Charlotte understand what she is expected to do by her teacher but also form relationships with others. Considering charlottes language barrier long-term a mentor may be great for Charlotte.

GLBA assumes a company will explain a complex set of legal definitions added to numerous exceptions to the law in a way that will allow for an informed choice and in transparent language. There are reservations about a company's desire to do this.

...statement provided, the horizontal analysis is between years six and seven, and years seven and eight; respectively. When analyzing the income statement provided with the task, several strengths and weaknesses are very apparent. They will be broken down individually and analyzed separately. Horizontal analysis is calculated by using the formula below ("Horizontal Analysis," n.d.) Income Statement Revenue: Net sales between years 6 and 7 demonstrate a 33.3% increase or an increase in approximately $1.5 million. This is a strength because there were positive sales during this time frame. Positive sales are always a positive finding in business. However, sales between years 7 and 8 demonstrate a decrease in net sales of -15% or $897,000. This is a weakness due to the overall sales being down. Cost of Goods Sold between years 6 and 7 demonstrates an increase of 31.8% or $1,048,000. The costs associated with manufacturing goods are always going to be a big expense. While the cost associated may appear to be a weakness for the company, it actually demonstrates strength for the company. The reason being is the percent change in sales. It closely represents the increase in sales during the same period. If the sales number did not adequately correlate with the growth, this would be a weakness for the company and would demonstrate a lack of efficiency or an increase in the price for raw goods. Years 7 and 8 also closely correlate with the overall decrease in sales at -14.5%...

These polarities are love/assertion and weakness/strength. These polarities make up what they call the LAWS of personality and relationships. These LAWS can help you choose between healthy and unhealthy personalities. The LAWS break down into four quadrants of a circle. The four quadrants are called love, assertion, weakness and strength. The circle represents boundaries. These boundaries separate people from the world giving each person their own identity. Not one quadrant is better than the other. The key is to develop a person into a well balanced use of every quadrant. Love is the bonding agent that connects people to one another.

...breathing exercises.73% of the sample reported that these strategies were effective in managing their symptoms. Coping strategy enhancement was developed which aims to teach individuals to develop and apply effective coping strategies. These reduce the frequency, intensity and duration of psychotic symptoms. A weakness of this is that schizophrenic patients have irrational thought processes which makes it difficult to identify the accuracy of their statements regarding the onset of symptoms and it is retrospective therefore it is hard to judge the accuracy of the theory. A weakness of this study is that the main technique used is interviews, so participants may have faced demand characteristics, therefore decreasing the validity of the findings. Another weakness is that the cognitive behavioural therapy does not offer a cure for schizophrenia, therefore is not entirely useful as it doesn’t look at the cause of the disorder which makes it simplistic. A strength of this study is that CBT seems to offer an effective means of alleviating the distress associated with the florid symptoms of schizophrenia and therefore is effective in a real life situation. A weakness of this study is that it is reductionist as it does not take into account the biological explanation of schizophrenia. An ethical issue is that the...
