...Kelly 1 Kwanesha Kelly Emily Bailey HUM 2211-CRN 20606 7/7/14 Influences of Mesopotamia The land between the two rivers known as, “Mesopotamia" contained many civilizations that were successful and on the other hand, not so well. Around 3500 B.C.E the first of Mesopotamia's civilization, "Sumer" rose and had quite many contributions and advancements that would affect the modern world today. Mesopotamia had many first creations that we now use today such as wheeled vehicles, plows, potter's wheel, the mathematic system, and an advanced writing system. Another aspect of influence were the rulers of Mesopotamia and its governing system. Also how the social order was set up which contributed of how the modern day government handles situation. The last influence that I believe to be heavily pressured is Mesopotamia's religion, which is the oldest religion recorded. All in all, many of these contributions of Mesopotamia made the world of what it is today. Mesopotamia had a variety of inventions that were created such as, "wheeled vehicles". The earliest form of wheels were placed underneath heavy objects to get to places in a quicker way. This was the beginning of vehicles which we use today and are much more advanced. Clay, being the most abundant material during this time set off many creations of sculpture. Kelly 2 Sumer being the first culture to use art, were also capable of using pottery wheels. This is beneficial by being able to have the skills to create cups...

...IL Divo Live in Barcelona Charliena Diego Professor Nancy Barlar HUM 11- World Cultures 1 Dec 18, 2012 IL Divo Live in Barcelona I was not able to attend this concert in person, but I did watch it on youtube.com on December 18, 2012 at 12:46 pm on a Tuesday afternoon. I sat and watched it by myself in my family room, because my children and husband do not care for this kind of music as I do. The concert was with IL Divo, they are four men named David Miller, Sebastien Izambard, Carlos Marin, and Urs Buhler, and they are dressed in black suits when they come out on stage. The concert was live in Barcelona on April 3, 2009 and the performance was at the Palau Sant Jordi. IL Divo is surrounded by an operatic quartet that plays the music beautifully. My initial reaction about this concert/place is what a magnificent place the Palau Sant Jordi is, it was built in the year 1990 in Barcelona, Spain. I truly wish that I could go and see these four beautiful men sing their hearts out, I would be in awe over how big and beautiful these guy’s voices truly are and I bet in person it would be an amazing gift to hear. The song that IL Divo sang is one of my all time favorite songs from Simon & Garfunkel is/was Bridge over trouble waters. Un- break my Heart originally sung by Toni Braxton who sang it in 1993 and she sounded great when she sang it, but when IL Divo sang this song they blew my mind away with the way their voices are so rich and deep it’s like floating in chocolate...

...Question 1 : (Case study) a) Assist Bryce to identify and establish 'team purpose' for above project. The reason behind any successful achievement of any organisation is highly depending on its employees. It is rational to point out that there is a major impact on their independent performance towards the organisation but more than that it is essential to pursue how this people work together. In order to make them work more effectively and efficiency group needs to identify and establish a clear purpose. As an example if a group of individuals want to play a sport, they should agree on their objective. Whether it is to get a ball into a net or over a bar. Observably group members should perform with the understanding of what they are trying to do. Developing specific time bound goals is a proper way of doing this. By doing so it will ensure that the members are focusing on key terms and it would set up a direction for the team as well to identify the difficulties that they face and remedies to be undertaken. Finishing point of these goals successfully would ensure that the purpose have been met. As to here Bryce could come up with a purpose such as “To improve office layout”. b) Suggest to Bryce on how he can allocate roles and responsibilities among the committee members in order to achieve team outcomes. The chain of commands are very essential for a team. The distribution of the team resources should be carried down in alliance with the planned goals. Bryce...

...Lessons from Geese 'Individual empowerment results from quality honking' Lessons from Geese provides a perfect example of the importance of team work and how it can have a profound and powerful effect on any form of personal or business endeavor. When we use these five principles in our personal and business life it will help us to foster and encourage a level of passion and energy in ourselves, as well as those who are our friends, associates or team members. It is essential to remember that teamwork happens inside and outside of business life when it is continually nurtured and encouraged. Lesson 1 - The Importance of Achieving Goals as each goose flaps its wings it creates an UPLIFT for the birds that follow. By flying in a 'V' formation the whole flock adds 71 percent extra to the flying range. Outcome When we have a sense of community and focus, we create trust and can help each other to achieve our goals. Lesson 2 - The Importance of Team Work When a goose falls out of formation it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back to take advantage of the lifting power of the birds in front. Outcome if we had as much sense as geese we would stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others. Lesson 3 - The Importance of Sharing when a goose tires of flying up front it drops back into formation and another goose flies to the point position. Outcome It pays to...

...Developing Your Empowering People It’s very true that in many companies or organizations managers delegate responsibilities to other team members due to his or her own increasing responsibilities to be shouldered. A correct or we can say right person has to be identified and clearly mention their job requirements allowing them to participate and also inform other members about the change. In the example “practicing the skill” Anne has delegated a project to putting together new departmental procedures manual by the end of the month to Mr. Ricky Lee. Since Ricky is already working on another project he asks Anne if this project could be delegated to Bill Harmon. Bill Harmon is working in this company for the past 3 years. Hence Anne approves Bill Harmon being reassigned as far as Bill knows the parameters of the project and what needs to be expected for the completion of this project. Now Ricky is preparing for his meeting with Bill regarding the assignment to be reassigned. It is very important to understand the capability of completing the project. Anne knew that Ricky was capable of completing the project given to him as Ricky believed that Bill was capable. Here Ricky did not analyze what Bill might be working on as Anne did not realize what Ricky might be working on. If there could be any alternate possibility of Ricky and Bill teaming up and complete the project of putting the procedures manual together, could cut down time by the work being divided among the two. I think...

...what they would say. Overall, we planned and agreed on some general and specific details for the 4 scenes we are expecting to show in our video project. We all agreed to arrange a 4th scene just in case we have time left but the first 3 scenes will probably be enough. b. HOW I think we have very good group engagement; we all have a clear vision of how we want the video team project to be, so it was fast and easy to design each of the scenes. At the end of the meeting, everybody showed a high motivation about how things will be filmed and the content of each scene. It’s nice and very helpful that all of the team members have different cultural backgrounds, I am from Colombia, Stephanie is from France, Jake’s family is from Spain and Rochelle is from the U.S. so we have a lot of ideas. Each of us will able to play a very good role because everything will come natural so this is a key component of our group. From the beginning we each have shown a real openness to different ways to see and interpret actions. I am sure we will make a great video project because we have worked very well as a team so far and the group has been able to understand and respectfully take advantage of each person’s perception about their own culture and the American culture. All of these aspects combined are how we were able to accomplish our successful meeting...

...Teams in the 21st Cent SOC/110 November 4, 2013 Teams in the 21st Century From the time that you are a young child you begin to experience working in teams. Teams have become an important part of the 21st Century whether it be in education, athletics, or even at the workplace. In this paper I’ll discuss my experience working in teams, the advantages of being part of a team, and how having stronger team skills could really benefit you. I worked on my first team at the age of eight when I was on my first softball team. I never really knew what being part of a team meant until I played with those girls and that is an experience I have never forgotten even today. As I got older and in high school being part of a team became more common with the DECA club, Student Council, and the Dance Team. Each of these teams are all different in their own way but they each individually taught me skills that I still use to this day. Now that I am older I have realized that not everyone has the same idea or definition of what a team exactly is. As a student at the University of Phoenix working in teams is a big part of my school assignments each week. I have had some really positive experiences but there have been other times when my experiences were not so good. The one consistent problem I seem to have is getting everyone to do their part of the assignment on time or even at all which can be very frustrating at times. When I was younger it was fun to be part of a...

The study examines how the input variable of task structure (task interdependence) is related to team conflict management style (cooperative versus competitive) and to team performance, and how team identity moderates these relationships. Seventy-seven intact work teams from high-technology companies participated in the study. Results revealed that at high levels of team identity, task interdependence was positively associated with the cooperative style of conflict management, which in turn fostered team performance. Although a negative association was found between competitive style and team performance, this style of team conflict management did not mediate between the interactive effect of task interdependence and team identity on team performance.
