...The movie, “North Country”, provided a clearer picture of the abuse women have put up with for years, although these stories have always been around, I never viewed it in a movie form. It brings feelings of gratitude for how far we’ve come in America but also disappointment as women still deal with these issues today, but on a smaller scale. It is a part of our society. The movie defiantly portrays a traditional gender-based struc¬ture. It takes place in a very tight knit community that holds strongly to how things have always been and how they should stay. Men are the providers and women are the mothers and home makers. The men value their gender role more than the family they actually providing for. As long as each individual stays within the parameters set for them in this traditional gender role they are loved and provided for, but as soon as those lines are crossed there place in the community is at...

...Plot Overview Note: Billy Pilgrim, the novel’s protagonist, has become “unstuck in time.” He travels between periods of his life, unable to control which period he lands in. As a result, the narrative is not chronological or linear. Instead, it jumps back and forth in time and place. The novel is struc-tured in small sections, each several paragraphs long, that describe various moments of his life. Billy Pilgrim is born in 1922 and grows up in Ilium, New York. A funny-looking, weak youth, he does reasonably well in high school, enrolls in night classes at the Ilium School of Optometry, and is drafted into the army during World War II. He trains as a chaplain’s assistant in South Carolina, where an umpire officiates during practice battles and announces who survives and who dies before they all sit down to lunch together. Billy’s father dies in a hunting accident shortly before Billy ships overseas to join an infantry regiment in Luxembourg. Billy is thrown into the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium and is immediately taken prisoner behind German lines. Just before his capture, he experiences his first incident of time—shifting: he sees the entirety of his life, from beginning to end, in one sweep. Billy is transported in a crowded railway boxcar to a POW camp in Germany. Upon his arri-val, he and the other privates are treated to a feast by a group of fellow prisoners, who are English officers who were captured earlier in the war. Billy suffers a breakdown and gets a shot of...

...culture they work in have played a key role in that accomplishment. In this chapter, we’re going to look at culture and other important aspects of manage- ment’s context. We’ll examine the challenges in the external environment and discuss the characteristics of organizational culture. But before we address these topics, we first need to look at two perspectives on how much impact managers actually have on an organization’s success or failure. The Manager: Omnipotent or Symbolic? In February 2010, when Ford Motor Company surpassed General Motors in sales for the first time in at least 50 years, GM announced an overhaul in its top managers’ranks. GM’s North American president said that “he could see clear as day that the mix and the struc- ture of people weren’t right and that these changes were necessary for GM to move faster and win.”2Such a move shuffling managers is not all that uncommon in the corporate world, but why? How much difference does a manager make in how an organization performs? The dominant view in management theory and society in general is that managers are directly responsible for an organization’s success or failure. We call this perspective the omnipotent view of management. In contrast, others have argued that much of an organization’s suc- cess or failure is due to external forces outside managers’control. This perspective is called the symbolic view of management. Let’s look at each perspective to try and clarify just how much credit or...

... developing supernormal psychic abilities, communicating with plant and animal consciousness, and the vegan revolution overthrowing the biggest industrial corporations in the world, or the quantum revolution preventing environmental doomsday, and displacing fossil fuels and the Internet. These are some of the transformational subjects on the frontier of our society, guiding us out of the cave. ~ ~ ~ What we call the Renaissance (circa 14th to 17th century Europe) was participated in by about a thousand people. That’s astonishing. About a thousand people (out of about 80 million—about 0.001%) defined an entire culture by their choices at the leading edge. They were choosing from the highest stage of development at that point, laying down struc-tures that became the future of humanity in the Enlightenment. And the same thing can happen today if you are awakened to the leading edge. The politics of reason and rationality defined the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th Centuries. The intellectuals promoted utilitarianism, secularism, and individualism. And now intellectuals are emphasizing the exact opposite. The swinging pendulum of cultural power has created epic tension in society that’s reminiscent of Aristotle’s most famous student, Alexander the Great, who remarked that consensus leads to stagnation and worse while tension and renewal are our identity. The quantum revolution is about the cultural swing from overwhelming stupidity to genius. We need...

...SUCCESSION Virtually all plant communities experience, from time to time, disturbances that remove all or some of the plant biomass. Thus, diversity is influenced heavily by disturbance =is the directional change in community composition and structure over time. • "begins" when a disturbance is followed by colonization or re-growth of the disturbed site by plants • Natural, gradual changes in the types of species that live in an area; can be primary or secondary • The gradual replacement of one plant community by another through natural processes over time Causes of Plant Succession • Autogenic succession (2 types) can be brought by changes in the soil caused by the organisms there. These changes include accumulation of organic matter in litter or humic layer, alteration of soil nutrients, change in pH of soil by plants growing there. The structure of the plants themselves can also alter the community. For example, when larger species like trees mature, they produce shade on to the developing forest floor that tends to exclude light-requiring species. Shade-tolerant species will invade the area. • Allogenic changes are caused by external environmental influences and not by the vegetation. For example soil changes due to erosion, leaching or the deposition of silt and clays can alter the nutrient content and water relationships in the ecosystems. Animals also play an important role in allogenic changes as they are pollinators, seed dispersers and...

...Organizational Structure Paper Kristin Arzaga MGT/230 August 28, 2013 Organizational Structure Paper Daimler Truck is widely regarded as the world’s highest quality truck producer. The customer base of the Daimler truck company includes nearly every country in the world. The parent company, Daimler AG distributes a total of more than 100 individual vehicle designs, including cars, vans, trucks, and buses in about 200 countries throughout the world. The models represented by Daimler incorporate Mercedes Benz, Mitsubishi Fuso, Western Star, Orion bus, Thomas Built Bus, Detroit Diesel as well as Freightliner. Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is an associate of the Daimler group and works as a different organization from Daimler AG. This is to detach the automotive category from the truck category and let each company focus on their specialized product lines. This is a classic example of a divisional style organization and this paper will use The Daimler Group to describe organizational structure, functions, and design ("Daimler", 2013). The history of DTNA with Daimler goes as far back as 1981, when Freightliner Corporation was purchased by Daimler-Benz of Stuttgart, Germany. By using the expertise and fiscal power of Daimler-Benz Freightliner rose to leadership of the United States heavy-duty sector. Daimler Trucks North America is closely aligned with Daimler's international commercial vehicle strategy. Daimler Trucks North America models support the crucial NAFTA...

Thomas *Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA †Office of Basic Energy Sciences, U.S. Department of Energy, 19901 Germantown Road, Germantown, Maryland 20874-1290, USA Fossil fuels currently supply most of the world’s energy needs, and however unacceptable their long-term consequences, the supplies are likely to remain adequate for the next few generations. Scientists and policy makers must make use of this period of grace to assess alternative sources of energy and determine what is scientifically possible, environmentally acceptable and technologically promising. M odern lifestyles demand a steady, reliable supply of energy: it lies at the heart of our mobility, our prosperity and our daily comfort. But we should not take this energy security for granted. Energy sources can be divided into three broad categories. The first derives from chemical or photophysical energy that relies on oxidizing some reduced substance, usually a hydrocarbon, or absorbing sunlight to generate either heat or electricity. The energy involved is that of a chemical bond or fractions of an electron volt (eV). The second involves nuclear reactions that release energy either by splitting heavy nuclei or by fusing light nuclei. The energy involved in nuclear reactions is in the region of 106 electron volts (MeV) per nuclear reaction. The third is thermomechanical...

(Hons.), M.Com., DAIBB, LLB, FCMA Income Tax Law explain changes in tax struc-ure of an economy over time under t the impact of economic development and of political and social factors. Tax structure is affected by economic development in three ways: (a) tax base undergoes a change as the develop- ental process m proceeds; (b) change in the tax base brings about changes in the revenue system: and (c) economic development leads to changes in the objectives of tax policy. Bangladesh Government collects taxes on account of custom duty, sales tax, value added taxes, excise duty, cess, fees, fines, penalties, income tax, advalorem duty, etc. It appears that to fulfill the objectives of tax policy the Government every year brings some changes in various tax laws to collect more taxes on the basis of above tax structure. be established for those items to repair or servicing and thus to reduce the unemployment problems in the country. National Budget Every year before preparing National Budget the National Board of Revenue holds series of meetings with various trade bodies, trade associations, groups of people, various academic and professional Institutions. It seems that this year the discussions have been held on various scopes and opportunities of collecting more taxes. The discussions, of course, have been held in various dimensional scopes.
