...My involvement in National Honor Society helped me to decide on a great service project. The volunteer project that has had the greatest impact on my community is coaching the sixth grade girls basketball team. The opportunity to coach and mentor the girls had a significant influence on the youth basketball program; furthermore it taught me more about myself. The experience of coaching the youth helped the elementary basketball program grow because the girls enjoyed having a high school senior coach them instead of their parents. The girls were able to learn valuable life lessons as well as learning fundamental basketball skills. The youth basketball programs have flourished over the years, and I strongly believe this is because high school...

...During my high school career, I have had the opportunity to participate in numerous community service and leadership activities. I am currently a member of my school’s National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society. Through these organization, I have worked in various projects, which include blood drives, fundraisers, and sporting events. Often times, I was required to assist in the organization in some of these events along with other students. The NHS and NTHS have enabled me to give back directly to my community. Along with being a member of my school’s NHS and NTHS chapters, I also perform in various church bands throughout the year. During the Christmas and Easter seasons, I perform for three churches: the Sebewaing...

...message, that went against the postwar values of Americanism, materialism, and mammonism, which threatened to overpower Volk, God, and fatherland. Diehl wholly supported National Socialist goals, the Nazi’s anti-communism and anti-Semitism, and was particularly concerned with stemming the tide of moral ‘filth’ including the campaign to legalize abortion. Diehl was installed as ‘cultural advisor’ in the Nazi Party, but by 1936 had lost any appreciable political influence or organizational role. The Document in its Historical Context The title of the document undergoing analysis is, “A New Type of Woman”, and “Principles of the National Socialist Women’s Organizations” (the document), both from the book ‘Die deutsche Frau und der National Sozialismus (The German Woman and National Socialism), and published in 1932. “A New Type of Woman”, as written by Guida Diehl, outlines what characteristics a German woman should possess, and what type of woman she should aspire to become. “Principles of the National Socialist Women’s Organization” echoes Hitler’s ideas about a nationalistic society consisting of a purely Aryan race, focusing on women’s role in abiding by these rules. The National Socialist Women’s League was established in 1931, but was not fully active until Hitler seized power in 1933. Its main purpose was to bring other women’s organizations in line with...

...Lone Star College – CyFair Honors Program Honors Scholarship Proposal Presented by: Jacob N. Qurashi and Tashara A. Frasier I. Title (Honors Scholarship Proposal ) II. Purpose To create a scholarship for LSC-CyFair students actively enrolled in honors courses or taking honors by contract which will aide students enrolled in these courses and serve as a recruitment and retention incentive to both the honors program and the college at large. III. Introduction a. Background As part of an ongoing student outreach campaign for the LSC-CyFair Honors Program, the Honors Student Organization has participated in many campus events this last year. Interested students frequently ask whether or not the Honors Program offers a scholarship to its students. At the present time LSC-CyFair does not offer a scholarship to its honors students. We believe creating a scholarship will not only help students taking honors classes which typically require additional materials or expenses in addition to those already incurred in the regular section, but can used as a marketing device for the honors program and the campus. Over the last couple of years, representatives of the Honors Student Organization have meet with Student Outreach to encourage publicity of the Honors Program at Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District high schools and local National Honors Society advisors; the addition of an honors scholarship would be a powerful selling point to both...

...Honesty, justice and courtesy form a moral philosophy which, associated mutual interest among men, constitutes the foundation of ethics. The electronics engineer should recognize such standard, not in passive observance, but a set of dynamic principles guiding his conduct and way of life. It is his duty to practice his profession according to this Code of Ethics and Conduct. The keystone of professional conduct is integrity. Hence, it behoves the electronics engineer to discharge his duties with fidelity to the public, his employer and his client and with fairness and impartially to all. It is my duty to interest himself in public welfare, and to be ready to apply his special knowledge for the benefit of mankind. He should uphold the honor and dignity of his profession and avoid association with enterprise of questionable character. In his dealings with fellow engineers, he should be fair and tolerant. RELATIONS WITH THE STATE 1. Each and every engineer shall recognize and the supreme authority of the State as express through its laws and implemented by its agencies, whenever wherever such laws do not infringe upon the rights and privileges of citizens as guaranteed by the Constitution. 2. He shall recognize that the well-being of the public and the interest of the State are above the well-being and interest of any individual. 3.

...citizens could be responsible for “sunken ships,” when in reality, most of the general public were probably never in direct contact with the enemy. The claimed outcome was highly unlikely when considering the first statement. What the propaganda was meant for, was to create hatred for the enemy and build up nationalization. I think for what the phrase was truly meant for, it was a success, however, the phrase itself, if taken literally, was a failure and definitely a fallacy. “Remember the Alamo" is a non sequitur fallacy in today’s society. Originally, the phrase was used as a battle cry during the “massacres by Mexican forces at the Alamo in San Antonio.” (Answers) I believe the original rendition of the slogan was completely relevant to its said situation, but today, people use the phrase as a way to convey strength and honor in essentially any situation. In this case the slogan can be a non sequitur fallacy because the original claim usually has no correlation to what a person may be talking about. People like to use the slogan simply because it can add power to a statement, therefore making it a fallacy and unsuccessful in its purpose. “Guns don’t kill people, people do,” is a slogan from the National Rifle Association. (Lunsford) This statement is recognized as an equivocation fallacy due to the fact that it can be seen as a half-truth. Yes, guns kill people, and yes, people kill people, but is one the result of the other? It is questionable. The NRA uses...

...Fraternies in the Philippines A Research Presented To The Filipino III Teacher Luna National High School Luna, Isabela In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements in Filipino III By Melvin R. Fontanilla III-Diamond March 2011 Chapter I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study A fraternity is defined as a group of people united in a relationship, having some common interests, activity, and purpose. It is a brotherhood, as the members usually say, of people at a college or university usually characterized by Greek letters. For members, fraternity means brotherhood, unity, friendship, trust and acceptance. It means meeting new people, sharing interests and accepting others' as well. It helps in building confidence and character because they believe that a fraternity gives a certain kind of protection. It gives the feeling of security and importance. It is somewhat comparable to gangs as they are both organization of people. However, gangs usually lack purpose and acceptance to communities. Usually linked with violence because members tend to compete with each other. Unlike in fraternity, members have this humility to help each other out and protect each other from an outsider. B. Statement of the Problem More specifically, this research aims to know what fraternity is, its advantages, and disadvantages. C. Significance of the Study It is therefore, very important to know what fraternity really is before joining it. And this research paper was made...

...A accepted the offer. Engineer A created and shared a draft of his presentation with Supplier. Supplier then asked that Engineer A incorporate some slides about their green building products. In this particular case, it would go against the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics. It states in Section II.3.b, “Engineers shall issue no statements criticisms, or arguments on technical matters that are inspired or paid for by interested parties.” Engineer A was asked to give a lecture at Supplier’s industry education conference. It was not until after the fact that Engineer A agreed to speak that they asked him to include some slides that highlight Supplier’s product. By not being candid and direct about their intentions and what they would want him to present at the meeting, it would be correct to assume that Supplier’s intentions were to manipulate Engineer A’s bias toward their company by offering him compensation. If he were to continue with the agreement,...

...Police Department Roles and Functions Ashlee Hoagland CJS/241 March 16, 2015 Norman Healy Police Department Roles and Functions The Police Department must serve many roles and purposes so they also must take care of any issues that arise, dealing with the law and with the safety of the public. This is why the departments have different level of officers designated to carry out certain functions. These roles vary by jurisdiction where there are state, local, and federal jurisdictions. Police Functions and Roles The principal roles and functions of police organizations are the prevention of crime and protection of life, to uphold and enforce the law, to combat public fear of crime, to promote community safety, to control traffic, to encourage respect for the law, to protect the civil rights and liberties of individuals. The police are to protect and serve the community in which they work in. The basic mission of law enforcement is to maintain public safety by reducing the occurrence of crimes in society. To make this happen the Police must play a certain role in society. They are to enforce the laws, help maintain the peace.

...competitors and also consistently stimulate the economy. Without these regulations the competition levels between companies would be so stiff that it could possibly entice the market to gradually move away from the capitalistic market that we enjoy today. Although Thomas W. Dunfee states, "Since the goal of the public corporation is to maximize shareholder wealth, management should take any action necessary to achieve this goal so long as no law is violated", is very true for many corporations this line of thinking does not apply to the United States Military. The Armed Forces have long been regarded by some as the largest organization in the United States. The goal of this organization is not profit or personal gain, rather to insure national security and undisputable freedom. Being of a nation founded on principles that promote both infinite dignity and self-worth, military personnel must always stand ready to carry out these principles. Major corporations expect the maximizing of profit and the U.S Military is no different in that aspect. However the profit being sought as far as the military is concerned is long lasting freedom. Freedom not only for the present citizens but also for the future generations to come is the ultimate goal. Two long asked questions are, what are ethics and how do they play a role as it pertains to decision making within an organization? Are...

...Philiipine Traditional Costumes The Philippine Costumes Barong Tagalog for Men Barong Tagalog, the official national costume of Filipino men, originated from the northern part of the Philippines, and is originally made of jusi or pineapple cloth called “pina” (woven from pineapple leaves). It is worn over a Chinese collarless shirt called camisa de Chino.
