...Chapter 8: Lewis and Clark President Thomas Jefferson formed an expedition in which he put is secretary, Meriwether Lewis, in charge. This expedition was put into place to explore the Missouri River and find a good water route towards the Pacific. If a water route was found, the economy would benefit as trade with China would boost. Second in command on this expedition was William Clark. Lewis and Clark led approximately fifty men on the journey. Once they got into their expedition, they hired an interpreter and a guide who went by the name of Toussaint Charboneau. His wife had accompanied them on the trip after recently giving birth to a baby boy. Throughout this expedition, Jefferson wanted to place American sovereignty in the tribes throughout...

...greatest adventures were the Lewis and Clark Expedition and Man on the Moon. The Lewis and Clark Expedition took place in the U.S during 1803, while man on the moon took place during the 1969-1972. Lewis and Clark went to go explore the west because Thomas Jefferson assigned them to do this after the Louisiana Purchase. The U.S sent Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin to win the space race against the U.S.S.R. The two adventures had a lot in common and many differences. The Lewis and Clark Expedition and Man on the Moon have many similarities. Both of the adventures took place in unknown territories. Another similarity was that both parties traveled long and far to reach their destinations. The Lewis and Clark Expedition took 8,000 miles, while Man on the Moon took 407,700 miles. Lewis and Clark traveled through land and water, using horses and canoes. Meanwhile, Man on the Moon used rocket ships and computers. The two adventures had many differences between themselves. The Lewis and Clark Expedition took two years to complete, and Man on the Moon took three days to complete. The Lewis and Clark Expedition were allocated with 2,500 dollars, and Man on the Moon coasted 38 billion dollars to complete. During the adventures Lewis and Clark brought back drawings of plants, animals, maps, and journals. After Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin were done with their mission they brought back moon rocks, pictures, and moon soil. In the end the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the Man on the...

...Associate Level Material Appendix N Topic Sentences and Supporting Paragraphs Topic Sentences When you write, you form paragraphs. A paragraph is a group of sentences that relate in topic and thought. A paragraph generally consists of three to five sentences and usually begins with a topic sentence. A topic sentence is a general statement that announces what the paragraph is about. By starting a paragraph with a topic sentence, your audience may immediately identify your topic. This construction also helps you, the writer, stay focused on your subject. Consider the following example of an essay introduction: The first sentence is the topic sentence: It tells the readers they will learn about past narratives. The sentences that follow the topic sentence relate to the topic sentence because they provide examples of past narratives. Finally, the last sentence is the thesis of the essay, which expresses the author’s position on the topic and previews what the entire paper is about. You learn more about writing effective introductions later in this course. Supporting Paragraphs Every paragraph after your introduction must be a supporting paragraph. A supporting paragraph supports or proves your thesis. All supporting paragraphs must include a topic sentence. You may then develop the supporting paragraphs within your paper by using one or more of the following methods: • Examples and illustrations • Data, facts, or historical...

...villains outnumber the heroes.” “A true story of the westward expansion would be the account of the actions, thoughts, emotions, words, and persons of the unnamed thousands, the people on the ground, who are the living flesh and blood of history.” Part A: How does the author develop the ideas throughout the text? A. The author develops these ideas by creating a timeline throughout the text. B. The author develops these ideas by identifying a dilemma and providing a way to solve it within the text. C. The author develops these ideas by taking a stance and providing examples and evidence to reinforce his stance. D. The author develops these ideas by showing similarities and differences between heroes and citizens. Part B: Which piece of evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A. “There is properly no history,” Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “only biography.” It is natural and perhaps necessary for historians and story-tellers to view the dramatic shifts of history through the actions of a few famous figures, whether heroes or villains.” Part A: What does Morgan claim about westward expansion and American history? Highlight two options that were not Morgan’s claims. A. “...Imperial power promoting the spread of “liberty” is a contradiction Jefferson passed on to the new nation….” B. “Andrew Jackson probably did more to extend democratic power to a greater number of citizens...

...The Life and Science of James Clerk Maxwell The Life and Science of James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) Physicist and Mathematician “The theory of relativity would have never been possible without the mathematical equations first described by James Maxwell." -Albert Einstein GRAPH James Clerk Maxwell may not be a household name when it comes to scientists, but his contributions to the field ranks him with some of the great scientists of all time.He is mainly known for his ground breaking work in electromagnetics, spurring a field that has given rise to many of the great accomplishments of the twentieth century.His equations, which relate the effects of electricity and magnetism to one another, are key in the development of modern relativity theory and the development electrical components and electronic systems.Like many great scientists, Maxwell was ahead of his time and his equations were not completely understood by his peers, but as science and mathematics progressed the beauty and genius behind his equations was fully revealed. On June 13, 1831, James Clerk Maxwell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.With the exception of an older sister that died at a young age, he was an only child.His father, John, was a lawyer who was in his forties by the time James was born.John was considered to be an intelligent, but somewhat eccentric man.When James was young, his mother, Frances Cay, died after a prolonged illness (believed now to be cancer).After his mother’s passing...

Further, Phatak (1997, p.3) claimed that globalization of world economy leads to globalization of other societal entities such as politics, education, and culture etc. Conversely, in the field of public relations, this environmental change led by globalization means opportunities and challenges to practitioners as well as scholars. According to Cutlip, and Broom (2000, p.6), public relations is the management of function that establishes and maintains mutually beneficial relationships between an organization and the public’s on whom its success and failures depends. In other words, public relations is all about the liaison between an organization and the public. Without a clear definition of publics, the discourse of public relations might cover only half of reality. Nevertheless, many times we are deemed to be living towards a global village through accumulation of theoretical and practical knowledge, also in this journey, these eruptions of global public relations and local public relations have been in the expense of ignorance under marketing scrutiny, while public...

...hypotheses derived from the agent–system model of justice specifying that, among the different types of justice, interpersonal and informational justice explain the most unique variance in counterproductive work behavior (CWB) directed toward one’s supervisor, and procedural justice explains the most unique variance in CWB directed toward one’s organization. I also tested whether individuals’ desires for revenge against one’s supervisor and one’s organization mediate certain justice–CWB relationships. Results (N ¼ 424) provided considerable support for the study hypotheses, showing that employees tend to direct their CWB toward the source of perceived mistreatment, and that desires for revenge explain part, but not all, of the relationships between some types of injustice and CWB. Implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed. Copyright # 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Introduction It has been estimated that up to 75 per cent of employees engage in behaviors such as theft, sabotage, unexcused absenteeism, and vandalism (Harper, 1990; McGurn, 1988), and such behavior is costly. Employee theft, for example, costs the US retail industry $15 billion annually (Hollinger & Davis, 2001). Other more subtle kinds of ‘‘misbehavior’’ are also likely to have economic and psychological costs to both organizations and their members. For instance, job performance and cooperation among coworkers likely suffer when employees purposely waste time...

...connection between them. The conclusion of this thesis is based on analytical and exploratory research. The first part, on leadership, focuses on mainly two types of leadership: transactional and transformational leadership. Transactional leadership is mainly based on the transaction between leaders and their followers. Bass described four components of transactional leadership: Contingent reward, Active management by exception, Passive management by exception and Laissez-Faire leadership (1997). Transformational leadership focuses mainly on inspiring and stimulating the followers. Transformational leadership contains also four components: Idealized influence (Charisma), Inspirational motivation, Intellectual stimulation and Individualized consideration. The second part focuses on different studies on national culture: Hofstede (1983), Schwartz (1990) and Inglehart (1997). Each study has different values and dimensions, both all three studies show some similarities. The first similar dimension contains: Hofstede’s Power distance, Schwartz’ Hierarchy versus Egalitarianism and Inglehart’s Survival and measures the degree to which the people in a national culture accept and expect the unequal distribution of power. The second similar dimension contains: Hofstede’s Individualism, Schwartz’ Autonomy versus Embeddedness and Inglehart’s Self-Expression and measures the degree to which an individual is integrated into groups. The third part of this thesis focuses on the connection between leadership...

...APUSH Study Guide 8 A weak Confederacy and the Constitution, 1776-1790 Themes/Constructs: The federal Constitution represented a moderately conservative reaction against the democratilizing effects of the Revolution and the Articles of Confederation. The American Revolution was not a radical transformation like the French or Russian revolutions, but it produced political innovations and some social change in the direction of greater equality and democracy. The American Revolution did not overturn the social order, but it did produce substantial changes in social customs, political institutions, and ideas about society and government. Among the changes were the separation of church and state in some places, the abolition of slavery in the North, written political constitutions, and a shift in political power from the eastern seaboard toward the frontier. The first weak government, the Articles of Confederation, was unable to exercise real authority, although it did successfully deal with the western lands issue. The Confederation’s weakness in handling foreign policy, commerce and the Shays Rebellion spurred the movement to alter the Articles. Instead of revising the Articles, the well-off delegates to the Constitutional Convention created a charter for a whole new government. In a series of compromises, the convention produced a plan that provided for a vigorous central government, a strong executive, the protection for property, while still upholding republican...

...Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701; email: dave@uark.edu Key Words altruism, cooperation, helping ■ Abstract Current research on prosocial behavior covers a broad and diverse range of phenomena. We argue that this large research literature can be best organized and understood from a multilevel perspective. We identify three levels of analysis of prosocial behavior: (a) the “meso” level—the study of helper-recipient dyads in the context of a specific situation; (b) the micro level—the study of the origins of prosocial tendencies and the sources of variation in these tendencies; and (c) the macro level—the study of prosocial actions that occur within the context of groups and large organizations. We present research at each level and discuss similarities and differences across levels. Finally, we consider ways in which theory and research at these three levels of analysis...
