When Skinner was a freshman in college his brother passed away from a cerebral aneurism. Skinner was really involved in his religion during his early life, He attended bible classes and embraced a number of traditional religious beliefs but in his adolescent years he chose to abandon his religious beliefs and never returned to them. Skinner parents raised him to very high strict standards and only ever physically punished once by his mother who washed his mouth out with soap for stating a bad word. In high school Skinner earned money by playing the saxophone in jazz band and also with an orchestra. Skinner graduated college in 1926 from Hamilton College with a degree in English literature. For his postgraduate year he immediately tried to become a writer, it was a time of failure and frustration he soon realized that he had nothing of significance to say. He left college with a large desire to be a writer; He later on earned his MA within two years, earned his PhD in three years and then continued to go to school at Harvard for the next five years as a postdoctoral student. He chose to then teach at the university of Minnesota for 10 years and during that time he established himself as a nationally prominent experimental psychologist and published his now famous book (The...

...instruments and creating compositions. Humans have not stopped playing music because of war. Kurt Weill, a German composer active from the 1920s to the end of his life, performed and toured during World War II. Humans continue to bring the art of music to life even when going through hardship –like Ludwig Van Beethoven, who aside from composing the well-known Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata, was completely deaf for the last quarter of his life. It is common-sense knowledge that music is not only for the listeners, it is for the performers as well. Why a musician chooses to play music and why one might desire to listen to music is centred in the human brain. In another words, playing a musical instrument benefits the human brain. This research paper will support this thesis by discussing the brain development of a musical child, how playing music helps retain memory and hearing in aging adults, and lastly, how music relieves stress. Although Mozart may have been a musical prodigy, science now has evidence that any individual can benefit from...

...home base, in a homestead which was owned by Colonel William Howard Stovall. In 1941, on a journey to the Delta of Mississippi in quest of Robert Johnson, the musicologists John Work and Alan Lomax found Waters, then a tenant farmer and made his recording for the Congress Library (Ford, 2008 ). After two years, Muddy relocated to Chicago with a suitcase of clothes and a guitar, hopeful of getting into the field of big records. He expressed to a journalist, “I desired to leave Mississippi in the most horrible way. They had brainwashed my mother and the elder individuals, such that persons cannot make it too upright in the city. However I presumed if anybody else was existing within the city, I could also reach there.” Muddy operated in a paper factory and afterwards as a driver of a truck by day, playing music by night. In the year 1944, Muddy purchased his initial electric guitar, and after two years, he shaped his original electric combo. Perhaps the standard of R&B artists of Chicago made Muddy Waters feel that he was bound to electrify his sound. “As soon as I went inside the clubs, the initial thing that I required was an amplifier. Could nobody perceive you while having an acoustic?” At least partially out of requirement, Muddy joined his amplifier and electric guitar with the Delta blues, which blasted out the volume, tension, and misperception of the streets of the big city (Edward, 2004 ). By uniting the sounds of the country and the city within a low-down, nitty-gritty...

...Challenger Disaster Research Paper Space Shuttle Challenger was first called as STA-099, and was built as a test vehicle for the space program. But despite its Earth-bound beginnings, STA-099 was destined for space. In 1979, NASA awarded a contract to Rockwell, a space shuttle manufacturer to convert the STA-099 to a space orbiter OV-099. After completion of OV-099, it arrived at the at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida in July 1982, bearing the name "Challenger." Space Shuttle orbiter Challenger was named after the British Naval vessel HMS Challenger that sailed the Atlantic and Pacific oceans during the 1870s. Challenger launched on her maiden voyage, STS-6, on April 4, 1983. That mission saw the first spacewalk of the Space Shuttle program. The NASA had planned for a six day flight, and their mission was to release and retrieve one satellite to study Haley’s comet, and to launch another satellite that would become part of the space communications network. Challenger was originally set to launch from Florida on January 22nd. But delays in STS-61-C and bad weather caused it to reschedule to January 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 27th. On January 28th 1986, the space shuttle was set to take off, but the launch time was delayed due to problems with the...

...is tri bu Path–Goal Theory te 6 rd DESCRIPTION po st ,o Path–goal theory is about how leaders motivate followers to accomplish designated goals. Drawing heavily from research on what motivates followers, path–goal theory first appeared in the leadership literature in the early 1970s in the works of Evans (1970), House (1971), House and Dessler (1974), and House and Mitchell (1974). The stated goal of this leadership theory is to enhance follower performance and follower satisfaction by focusing on follower motivation. D o no tc op y, In contrast to the situational approach, which suggests that a leader must adapt to the development level of followers (see Chapter 5), path–goal theory emphasizes the relationship between the leader’s style and the characteristics of the followers and the organizational setting. For the leader, the imperative is to use a leadership style that best meets followers’ motivational needs. This is done by choosing behaviors that complement or supplement what is missing in the work setting. Leaders try to enhance followers’ goal attainment by providing information or rewards in the work environment (Indvik, 1986); leaders provide followers with the elements they think followers need to reach their goals. According to House and Mitchell (1974), leadership generates motivation when it increases the number and kinds of payoffs that followers receive from their work. Leadership also motivates...

...9 -4 0 4 -0 6 8 OCTOBER 20, 2003 JEFFREY T. POLZER INGRID VARGAS HILLARY ANGER ELFENBEIN Henry Tam and the MGI Team Henry Tam felt tired and extremely frustrated. He was halfway through his final semester in the MBA program at Harvard Business School (HBS), and things were not going as expected. Spring break was about to start, but Henry, like many others in the class of 2002, was feeling the pain of the worst job market in over a decade. Henry recalled the troubled sentiment around campus: Going to business school during the aftermath of the Internet crash changed everything. Before the crash, the feeling was that if you graduated from HBS, you could take on the world. Now people were feeling a lot more insecurity. I was having some doubt about my own capabilities—about what I could accomplish on my own. Anxious to test his abilities and distinguish himself beyond the standard curriculum, Henry had decided to enter the School’s annual business plan contest. About six weeks earlier, in late January, Henry had teamed with HBS classmate Dana Soiman and the founders of start-up company Music Games International (MGI). The MGI founders—an HBS alumnus (MBA ’87) and two professional musicians—later brought two additional students from other institutions onto the team, creating a group composed of diverse views and talents. (See Exhibit 1 for team member bios.) The team was dynamic but very conflicted, and progress on the business plan had been slow. They had a promising product:...
