...Diwali - the festival of lights. That is one of the only facts or events many people know about Hinduism. In this generation, many people are unaware of the cultures surrounding them. Some people are even unaware of their own culture. Being raised in a traditional, religious family, I was able to gain a large amount of knowledge about my culture - Hinduism. I finally understood why such traditions and norms were followed. For example, many Hindus are vegetarian because animals are believed to be sacred in Hinduism. God believes animals should not be killed because they are also living creatures like us. Living in Parsippany, a town consisting of a high concentration of Indians, I was able to interact with others and gain new knowledge, as well as teach others. Due to the massive Indian population in Parsippany, Parsippany Hills High School organized a club for South Asian awareness. The Indian Cultural Club, ICC, is a club aimed at allowing students with an interest in Indian culture to come together and experience and learn about the unique culture. Each year a show is put together to exhibit the culture and I have participated in the show all throughout highschool, and plan to do so this year too. In the show, the club performs different dances in our culture which range from traditional, classical Indian dances that we offer to god to Bollywood style dances and the proper attire for each. Last year, I helped choreograph a dance segment and this year I am secretary of the...

...things are of the utmost importance. I have responsibilities to uphold to myself and my family. I have decisions to make that will shape not only my future but my loved ones as well. And I have the pleasure of dealing with the stress that will come along with these decisions and responsibilities. A degree from Rutgers University will give me the opportunity, stability and security to successfully manage these things. A degree from Rutgers will offer me many opportunities in my future career as an accountant. I have been a part of the work force for quite some time now. Frequently I scan newspapers and jobsites online for available positions. I find plenty of positions available despite the economic crisis and the fact that people say that jobs are scarce. The jobs that are being advertised are ones that a person could make a respectable living with too, but the one thing that they mostly look for are candidates that are well educated. As the economy changes it is almost certainly going to be an uphill battle for survival, but as a future business graduate I will be able to survive the battle. I am certain that I will gain more stability with a degree from Rutgers. Finances and other personal reasons caused my father and me to move around so much that my childhood was accelerated and pretty much seemed like a blur. There really was no stability growing up that way. I remember moving from one place to another four times in one year. Just when I thought we were settling...

...William Edward Deming, an American Statistician and one of the fathers of total quality management once said “It is not necessary to change, survival is not mandatory”. The aforementioned statement by Dr. Deming predicates one’s survival on their ability to change. The social, political, and economic landscape of today mandates that organizations be flexible and adaptive to change. How change is managed is extremely important. Successful Change Management efforts can lead and organization forward or be the cause for an organization’s demise. For over a decade, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey has faced numerous internal and external problems; these problems have contributed to its persistent decline. Currently the organization is facing considerable pressure to divest successful assets such as the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, The Cancer Institute of New Jersey, and the School of Public Health. These changes could potentially weaken an already volatile organization and have several implications for the UMDNJ system, medical care in New Jersey, and municipalities where the organization is located. A change management model proposed by two scholars Cummings and Worley will be used to analyze how UMDNJ should manage and transition through the changes they are facing. Section 1 The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey—more familiarly UMDNJ—is a system of eight healthcare schools that serve approximately 6,000 students. (Stainton...

...Academic essay on Annie Proulx's "Job Story" Choices are something we all make. Not necessarily important choices, but there will always be a time to make them. It's not always good choices, but they have to be made. There will always be consequences, whether it's bad or good. Throughout the story, Leeland Lee has to make a lot of choices. Where to live, where to work and when to work. All the different choices he made, put him in the position he is now. Leeland Lee is an awkward-looking young boy. His face is heavily boned, which he has gotten from his mom, his neck is quite thick and he has red-gold hair. His eyes are as pouchy as a middle-aged alcoholic. His nose is broad and lays close to his face. Lori Bovee is Leeland Lee's wife. She has an undistinguished oval face, and hair of medium length. Leeland Lee is the protagonist of the story, because he is the main character. I would say Leeland is a flat and static character as he is an endless optimist. He doesn't give up when it comes to finding a new job, and despite his wife dying he still gets a job at Unique Eats. The reason he is a static character is because he doesn't change at all. After getting several different jobs he doesn't change anything, after his mom and wife dies he doesn't change one single thing except the fact he isn't listening to the radio anymore, but since that have been an important factor of the story all along, it can also show a lot about how he has changed. The story starts November...

...Essay on “Job History” written by Annie Proulx In the short story “Job History” written by Annie Proulx, we follow Leeland Lee from the time of his birth, until he is about fifty years old. In the short story we follow Leeland through his harsh life, with ups and downs, in the form of thoughts, feelings, incidents, etc. Leeland is born in a ranch in Wyoming, and lives there with his wife Lori. Leeland does not look particularly good, in fact he is a very unattractive man; (page 91, line 12)“Leeland’s face shows heavy bones from his mother’s side. His neck is thick and his red-gold hair plastered down in bangs. Even as a child his eyes are as pouchy as those of a middle-age alcoholic, the brows rod-straight above wandering out-of-line eyes. His nose lies broad and close to his face, his mouth seems to have been cut with a single chisel blow into easy flesh” And in the top of that, we see how Leeland through his life, tries to find a successful career, but fails consistently. He moves various times from place to place, too seek occupation and good business. But it is hard when you’re a high school dropout, without a career. Leeland have to changes his job constantly, because of his lack of luck, and since he can’t get along white his bosses. He is never able to stay at one job or place for long, which lead to problems in the family. He has a hard time supporting his wife, and their children financially.

...An essay is a piece of writing which is often written from an author's personal[->0] point of view[->1]. Essays can consist of a number of elements, including: literary criticism[->2], political manifestos[->3], learned arguments[->4], observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author. The definition of an essay is vague, overlapping with those of an article[->5] and a short story[->6]. Almost all modern essays are written in prose[->7], but works in verse[->8] have been dubbed essays (e.g. Alexander Pope[->9]'s An Essay on Criticism[->10] and An Essay on Man[->11]). While brevity usually defines an essay, voluminous works like John Locke[->12]'s An Essay Concerning Human Understanding[->13] and Thomas Malthus[->14]'s An Essay on the Principle of Population[->15] are counterexamples. In some countries (e.g., the United States and Canada), essays have become a major part of formal education[->16]. Secondary students are taught structured essay formats to improve their writing skills, and admission essays[->17] are often used by universities[->18] in selecting applicants and, in the humanities and social sciences, as a way of assessing the performance of students during final exams. The concept of an "essay" has been extended to other mediums beyond writing.

...We all know love. We have all loved in some kind of way. We love our parents, significant others and even our friends. But we can also love other things like animals or material things. But what is the difference between loving and liking? And is it better not to love and feel pain or to love and be hurt in the progress? Jonathan Franzen seeks to answer these questions in his essay “Liking Is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts”. The essay “Liking Is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts” is, as mentioned, written by Jonathan Franzen and published in The New York Times, May 28, 2011. Jonathan Franzen is born in 1959, and he is an acclaimed American novelist and essayist. The essay is based on the commencement speech he delivered at Kenyon College in Ohio, USA. “Our technology has become extremely adept in creating products that correspond to our fantasy ideal of an erotic relationship, in which the beloved object asks for nothing and gives everything, instantly. (…)” As Franzen claims in his essay, many people can feel like they love their technological object. It gives them a satisfaction, which human interaction maybe wouldn’t. Franzen however thinks, that people in general don’t love material things: they like them. There is a major difference between loving and liking – even though it might appear small. “Liking, in general, is commercial culture’s substitute for loving.” Products are made to be likeable, but if that concept in transferred to a person, you would instantly see...

...Reaction – “Salvation” The nonfiction short essay “Salvation” written by Langston Hughes in 1940, presents a theme on the literal and often manipulated perception of children. Hughes narrates the essay as he recounts his disappointing attempt at salvation. Hughes aunt told him that when she was saved by Jesus she saw a light, and felt something happen within herself. As children will do, Hughes took her story literally and was heartbroken as he sat in front of the church and watched other children “saved” while he was not. He believed that Jesus must not want him because he did not see or feel anything. In the end, Hughes is forced to lie about accepting Jesus and in turn rejects the Christian faith all together. I related to Hughes story on many accounts. I am a mother of three young children who perceive everything in life literally, and as a young girl I was raised in a very religious environment. I could visualize and almost feel Hughes devastation as he sat at the front of the church crushed by the thoughts of God not wanting him. “Still I kept waiting to see Jesus” (Barnet, Cain, & Burto, 2011, pp. 351). One of the churches that my family attended for a short time during my childhood practiced speaking in tongs. I specifically remember feeling just like Hughes during a service when other children were speaking in unnatural languages perceived to be sent from God himself. I could not understand why I was not chosen to talk for God and intern was hurt and...

...Dog Food Fried, Flipped and Devoured Eating dog food may not be seen as the easiest thing to stomach because the smell, texture and by-products found within the mixture are thought of as awful and revolting. In Ann Hodgman’s “No Wonder They Call Me a Bitch”, although the title may suggest otherwise, different types of dog food are discussed. In this essay, Hodgman aims to inform her readers about the inequality in different types of dog food, as well as to entertain and amuse. Hodgman is writing to a broad audience, one of dog lovers and owners, as well as those that may be curious as to what is really in dog food, or more generally the packaging and processing of mass-produced food of any kind. Language, description and humor are techniques Hodgman skillfully uses to create a strong, convincing essay. Within this essay, Hodgman continually uses diction and syntax that a diverse audience can understand and relate to. In the beginning, the reader feels repulsed by what is written. However, through a light tone of voice and sentence structure, the levity of the experiences and feelings occurring throughout the experiment is conveyed. The personal anecdotes and thoughts make the tone feel less formal and much more story-like. In this way, Hodgman produces a piece that connects the information and readers Shortly after capturing interest through stating questions, Hodgman begins using large amounts of description. Each type of dog food is explained and illustrated so well that...
