...motivation from anyone in his household or teacher at his school. Who at age 33 , became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. His mother could barely read but still motivated him and his brothers to do better and make them believe that they could do anything they could and made them work harder. The boys didn’t realize that their mother had this problem but still listened to everything that she said because they knew that she only wanted the best for them. She changed the ways in their household so that she could make them realize that they could do what they wanted if they put their mind to it. She made them watch only two motivational and educational Tv shows that would help them motivate their thought process better. The brothers become hooked to a television quiz show, and write two library book reports every week, as their mother had told them. She was a babysitter and house cleaner that devoted her time to work hard and provide for her kids.She saved five dollars every time she earned a paycheck, so she could save up for her previous house and a school that actually wanted the boys in their school programs.

...Purpose of the study In response to the growing need for moral accountants who possess ethical and reflective qualities; an ethics education program was developed based on ethics as a reflective, critical capacity. This paper aims to describe the impact of the program on reporting behavior. In the abstract of this article it states that the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of an ethics education program on actual behavior rather than hypothetical situations using a quasi-experimental design with two student groups. A ‘quasi-experiment’ is an observational study in which the subjects to be observed are not randomly assigned to different groups in order to control the assignment to the treatment condition. Throughout the abstract and introduction, the researchers provided several arguments to establish the significance of their study. The main arguments were that honest reporting under anonymous conditions suggests that students have internalized ethical values toward honest reporting and that individuals who report honestly even when anonymous are more likely to have internalized ethical values toward honest reporting. The title of the article is strong and the research topic is valid; it clearly shows the purpose of the article is some kind of experiment or observation that discusses the impact of ethics education in regards to reporting information. The article effectively discusses the need for more ethical accountants when it cites previous articles from Desplaces...

The variables are gender, whether the student is studying a double or single degree, quiz, report and exam results. The scope of the report is the population of university students studying BSB123, which will be examined. 2.0 – Outliers (Refer to the appendix) An outlier is an extreme value that differs greatly from other values that does not follow the overall data pattern. Outliers are beneficial when analysing data, as it helps gather additional information, displays trends and patterns and helps define the scope of the population being investigated. In the provided data, there were no outliers found. Figure 13.0 displays a minimum Z-score of -1.8970567 and a maximum of 2.459087745, meaning no z-scores fell outside the range. This shows that the chosen population is more controlled, less susceptible to variation and that exceptional cases do not vary the data results. 3.0 – Distribution of Exam Results This section of the report will investigate...

...Pew. Drawing from your own experience, identify and describe an example of an individual from your own experience that reflects the characteristics of each generation. The millennial generation is less likely to have served in the military compared to Gen Xers, the Baby Boomers and the Silent generation. The use and knowledge of technology is the reason Millennials feel they are distinguished from other generations, however, Gen Xers also cite technology as their generation’s biggest source of distinctiveness. Of the four generations, Millennials are the only one that doesn’t claim “work ethic” as a contributor to distinctiveness. Millennials, however, are the most open to change followed closely by Gen Xers. My great-grandmother would be an example from the Silent generation. She experienced the great depression and my great-grandfather was a veteran of many wars. Their work ethic was much more valued then, than it would be to today’s generation. My mom and dad would both be an example from the baby boomer generation. They witnessed and participated in some of the greatest social changes in the country’s history during the 1960s and 1970s with the Civil Rights Movement and the Women’s Movement. They...

...Credit Cards, Excess Debt, and the Time Value of Money: The Parable of the Debt Banana Timothy Falcon Crack and Helen Roberts University of Otago, New Zealand The parable of the debt banana is an analogy between the accumulation of excess personal debt and the accumulation of excess body weight. We created this parable to grab student attention and to then serve as a springboard for discussion of personal debt, time value of money mathematics, the mechanics of credit cards, personal bankruptcy, moral hazard, ethics, and credit card reform. A follow-up survey in a large class (453 students; 84% response rate) showed that 92% of students seeing the parable alongside the underlying finance principles said that it grabbed their attention more than if the underlying finance principles alone were presented, and 87% of students said it made an impression upon them that will make them more careful in their future credit card spending habits. We provide worked examples of credit card use as well as a spreadsheet that lets readers explore these examples and perform sensitivity analysis. INTRODUCTION The parable of the debt banana is an analogy between the accumulation of excess personal debt and the accumulation of excess body weight. We created and presented our parable in a compulsory Finance 101 course taken by all business majors. Most students had little or no exposure to the world of finance and many had poor mathematical skills. Both their lack of financial...
