...official goes through the rigorous process of election, we feel we have someone in office we can trust. There are times when we give them our blanket seal of approval without further investigation. We do the same thing with those men that stand behind a pulpit and speak to us every, Saturday, Sunday or whenever we meet. They take a stand on something and we follow then because of the place that they stand every time we meet there. They say, “Vote this way “, and without question we vote that way, because Reverend Do Right can’t be wrong! There are times when we give them our blanket seal of approval without further investigation. Let’s look at their track record, in two thousand three, a politician, that I won’t give a name to, led us into a war. He convinced us we were in eminent danger from, “weapons of mass destruction”. We believed him and gave him our seal of approval only to discover that there were no weapons of mass destruction, but a hidden...

...Changing for a Purpose In the 1940’s, African Americans will not have equal opportunities as they do now.

...facilities perform in-house lab testing. My project will deal with collecting data on the types of tests each office conducts in house, weekly volume, which vendor is used, and what analyzers are located in the facilities. Once the spreadsheet is compiled, a team of laboratory experts and myself will go through the tests to set criteria on which test is allowed to be done in-house and which tests need to be sent to the CPA lab or the Ancillary Lab. From this project, I will be able to determine the expenses and reimbursement rates to help vet the test menu. The intern program also consists of weekly “Coffee Clutches”. This one-hour sessions gives us the chance to meet and mingle with Norton Administrators. The first week, we met the Rev. Ron Oliver. He talked a great deal about work-life balance and how to embrace opportunities. The next week, we met Al Cornish, the Chief Learning Officer. During this meeting, we learned about the importance of learning and the free benefits to employees by Norton University. Through this past month, my favorite part has been meeting with everyone including the intern team. I have enjoyed getting to know students who come from different backgrounds from me. Of course, having two of my classmates on the team does not hurt either. I look forward to the camaraderie that develops this...

...come more territorial, whereas the conflicts in the Pacific are likely to challenge the entire state and thus come to concern governance at large (Fiji, Solomon Islands). Fearon (2004; 2005) helps us to understand the dynamics of these wars. He notes that many of the longest civil wars of the world take place in the context of “sons-of-the-soil” disputes. The hallmarks of these wars are that they are protracted, low in intensity, fought between a government and a peripheral ethnic group seeking autonomy or secession, and the rebels do not view the government as a credible partner in peace talks.

...to cope with life’s tragedies? Religion in some ways gives us the answers to the ‘why ‘questions for instance, like death. First of all I do understand what message he was trying to spread. I feel that message he was trying to send to us, was for us to imagine a place where things like religion and countries for instance did not exist. He felt this would make a better place for all of us to live in peace.”Imagine all the people Living life in people” (Lennon, “Imagine”) I can relate with this statement. I remember when this song came out in the early 70’s. Times were tough during those years; the Vietnam War was still going on so there probably was a bit of a political message being sent as well. Either way I think the true message he was to trying to bring was for the world to come together as one. This to me is a great message, but I don’t think realistically the wars would stop because there was no religion. We have far too many issues in the world to think that having with no religion and living as one country would solve all of our problems....

There are so Many Cases that shows all the madness and contradictory purposes that Powerful Countries are doing just for their country profit and government Interest. One example of the advantage that some countries take in military army is the Human shield, in most of the cases they use child to carry out target purposes, They use civilians to avoid combats attacks; this is a clear representation of Violation of human rights, this technique was start to be used in the II world War, but nowadays is also used in some conflicts like in Afghanistan, Israel- Palestinian, Iran, Syrian, Libyan and other countries on war, they use children as A shield, these children are considering soldier children. There are a lot of Civilians dyeing in this conflicts because of the arms and weapons that the Military industrial complex provides, and this king of deal between countries is Costing human lives and most of them are children.

...“Competition is now a war of movement on which success depends on anticipation of market trends and quick response to changing customer needs....Therefore, the essence of strategy is not the structure of companies products and markets but the dynamics of it's behavior.” (Stalk, Evans and Schulman 1992, Harvard Business Review.) Explain this statement, using a company of your choice, in terms of what the above authors termed 'capability based competition', Use the 'capability based competition' concept to identify how the company of your choice can either maintain and grow their successfulness or become successful in the long term. The market place is an ever changing place. Companies have to be quick on their feet and innovative to maintain and keep up with the shifting market trends. They must be able to cater for customer needs, foresee and predict upcoming changes in customer wants and do all this in the long run rather than the short term. This is why it is important to put emphasis on the companies manners and conduct rather than the make-up of companies products and services. In essence that is what Stalk, Evans and Schulman are trying to convey when they say “Competition is now a war of movement on which success depends on anticipation of market trends and quick response to changing customer trends....Therefore, the essence of strategy is not the structure of companies products and markets but the dynamics of its behavior.” The distinctive competence of a firm refers...

...Video games, amongst other forms of media, are being blamed for the violent actions of children and adolescence. “Movies and television entertain with realistic and bloody dramatizations of murders, beatings and tortures. Warlike video games have become a popular part of culture, and children routinely watch cartoons that depict violent events” (Earles, Alexander, & Johnson, 2002). The controversy and debate argues whether or not this claim is true. One side of the claim states that video games are genera lly harmless, a popular form of entertainment enjoyed by individuals of varied ages and origi ns. Regardless the popularity or the nature of the game, the individuals playing the game should understand that it is a fictitious scenario and should be treated as such. In addition, cens orship ratings have helped identify the appropriate audience for each individual game but as is the case with cigarettes and alcohol, it is not always adhered. Opposition claims state the cruel and bloody dramatizations have instilled images that have affected the minds of children. These effects have influence children to act violently often reenacting scenes and scenarios from certain video games. In addition, supplemental claims state that the lack of parental supervision and presence adds to the extremity of the violent acts. In terms of research analysis, quantitative statistics claims, “Youth violence results in considerable physical, emotional, social, and...

...“Compare how Vera Brittain and JG Ballad present the theme of ‘WAR’ in Testament of youth and Empire of the Sun” Both the novel and the memoir are set during a war that disrupts the main characters life in a way that allows the reader to experience the raw brutality of war, whether that is physical or emotional. Testament of Youth (ToY) is set in WWI and Empire of the Sun (EotS) in WWII, the 27 year gap between the wars meant there were technological differences such as communication, aircraft and weapon advances. These factors highlight that the later war would have been more sophisticated in both ground and air defence/fighting techniques. This could possibly be why both characters envision the war differently, although there are other factors such as gender, geographical location and political positioning to consider. Ballad writes in a 3rd person emotionally detached manner whereas Brittain’s first person perspective allows us to empathise with her situation. The extracts I will be using to explore the way in which war affects the thoughts and feelings of each protagonist are page 30-33 from EotS where on the eve of pearl harbour Jim investigates Hungjao aerodrome and comes across an old fighter plane. This is when we see his fascination with warfare technology. I will compare it to pages 67-72, chapter 8, in ToY when Vera sees her future fiancé, Roland, receive his awards on speech day at her brothers school and both Roland and her brother are appropriately attired in...

...I. Introduction: a. Opening Device- There are a few words that just don’t belong together such as Child Soldiers. Every child has the right to live a normal life, grow up an experience the things kids are supposed to, like, going to school, playing kick ball outside, enjoying the company of friends and developing in a normal way both physically and mentally. However, not all children get to have this simple luxury that many take for granted. Child Soldiers are a fast growing problem in third world countries and need to be stopped. It’s horrible to think that a child’s life can be devastated and ripped apart by a war that they had no part in starting, but they are forced to fight in combat anyway, causing life long lasting psychological and physical damage. b. Thesis: Worldwide, tens of thousands of children ranging from the young age 6-19 are recruited into government organizations and a variety or armed groups. These children are robbed of the chance to have a normal childhood but in exchange are exposed to horrendous hazards and are psychologically and physically scarred for life and suffer a tremendous amount abuse. c. Preview: In this speech I will explain what a Child Solider is, the normal development of a child and how the development of a child is impacted when they become a child solider. II. Body: d. Ethos- Citation 1: Web Site Ethos- Citation 1: Web Site What is a Child solider? According to child-soldiers.org, a child solider...

It will also expose the truth about cyber terrorism for the skeptic, reasons not to discount the threat, and why it is paramount their mind is changed. Information Warfare-Cyber Terrorism Did you know there were 18 cybercrime victims every second, 1058 every minute, approximately 64,000 per hour, and 1.5 million per day, that affected over 556 million people within the last year (Norton , 2012)? The internet has made it possible for terrorists to gather our public information and use it against us. As the internet matures so does the terrorist, finding ways to cripple and intimidate. The internet and terrorists have become a real hazard to the health of the cyber world. The government has implemented several organizations to help combat cyber terrorism but have not given it a clear concise definition. Skeptics believe the government is deceiving people about the validity of waging a cyber war. Terrorists have begun to exploit the availability of information...

...War is a state of armed and often prolonged conflict carried on between states, nations, or parties[1][2] typified by extreme aggression, societal disruption, and high mortality.[1] As a behavior pattern, warlike tendencies are found in many primate species,[3] including humans, and also found in many ant species.[4][5][6] The set of techniques used by a group to carry out war is known as warfare. An absence of war is ususally called peace. War generally involves two or more organized groups or parties (often, nations). Such a conflict is always an attempt at altering either the psychological or material hierarchy of domination or equality between such groups. In all cases, at least one participant (group) in the conflict perceives the need to either psychologically or materially dominate the other participant. In all wars, the group(s) experiencing the need to dominate other group(s) are unable and unwilling to accept or permit the possibility of a relationship of fundamental equality to exist between the groups who have opted for group violence (war). The aspect of domination that is a precipitating factor in all wars, i.e. one group wishing to dominate another, is also often a precipitating factor in individual one-on-one violence outside of the context of war, i.e. one individual wishing to dominate another.[7] In 2003, Nobel Laureate Richard E. Smalley identified war as the sixth (of ten) biggest problems facing the society of mankind for the next fifty years.[8]...

...various events on human psyche. 'The sniper', an extremely tightly written and gripping story, proves to be no exception to this. In this short story the author illustrates the havoc disaster and loss that warfare wrecks in human lives. Through the central figure of a sniper the author brings out the futility of violence and shows how it destroys the lives of those who unleash it themselves. The story is narrated from the third person limited point of view. In the long twilight of a summer day in Dublin when the moon beams were piercing through the fleecy clouds and casting a faint light, there was heavy firing around the besieged Four Courts. The two conflicting groups namely the Republicans and the Free Staters were indulging in a civil war in Ireland for establishing their supremacy over the city of Dublin. The Republican sniper, a crack shot with his gun, perched himself on the rooftop keeping a close vigil on the enemy hiding on the opposite roof. He had a rifle laid beside and a pair of binoculars slung over his shoulders. He had the thin and earnest face of a student, but his eyes were profound, thoughtful and fearless. His determination and dedication to his cause could be visible from the cold gleam in his eyes that characterised a fanatic. He was eating a sandwich greedily as he had not eaten anything since morning. He quenched his thirst by having a draught of whisky and in spite of being fully aware of the risk he could not resist the urge to have a puff of cigarette...
