...Abstract It is career day at school and I have been personally asked to make a presentation to high school students in my hometown about my role as an accountant. Although many of the students will not become accountants, the majority of them will all have to deal with money sometime in their life and they will need to know how to keep track of their money one way or another. That is where accounting will play a role in their lives. The students will know the primary objectives when it comes to accounting. The students will also be explained about the basic terminology of the accounting process. They will also be explained about how accounting has affected my personal life and also the ethics of my personal life. Accounting is also a process that deals with different types of math. Accounting also deals with recording, transactions, credits, interpreting and summarizing just about everything that has to do with numbers. It is very important that a person in the career field of accounting performs a flawless job in the outcomes of their work. A mistake as little as being off by one number can make a huge difference in the overall work that has been done.

That is what the students will need to know when it comes to the life of an accountant. It is also important in their everyday life if they feel as though they may need to be on a budget, trying to save or...

...society, and religion has brought him much praise and even reproach. He has encountered many struggles to convey his life's work. Throughout many of Vonnegut's works, we are shown his ability to turn major events in his life into satirical dark humor. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. was born November 11, 1922 in Indianapolis Indiana. He spent most of his life and adolesnce in Indianapolis and is very thankfull."What people like about me is Indianoplis" (The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial). Kurt graduated Shortridge High, where he was a writer and editor of his school newspaper. Later he attended Cornwell University. Kurt hoped to follow in his father and grandfather's footsteps in becoming an architect. Due to the economic crisis that fell in 1929 that lasted through the 1960s known as the Great Depression, Kurt was urged by his father to major in something else. He decided to study Biology and Chemistry. Later he attended Carnegie Institute of Techology and the University of Tennesse. At 20 years of age when World War II broke Vonnegut enlisted into the army. In 1944 in the Battle of the Bulge in Dreseden Germany,Vonnegut was captured and became a prisoner of war. Vonnegut and fellow POWs where kept to work in a factory that produced vitamins, and were sent to dorm in an under ground slaughterhouse. Later Soviet troops took over and Vonnegut was freed. Much of what he experienced during the war can be found in his books. (Shields 28) Vonnegut was able to transform the horrid events he...

...Obesity 1 Obesity Ashley Wood GEN 499 Dan Hicks April 29, 2014 Obesity 2 Obesity is close to being one of the most significant health issues that children and adults are facing today. Obesity is defined as, " ...having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much. The weight may come from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what's considered healthy for his or her weight"(Medline Plus, 2013). Being obese increases one's risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, and even some cancers. This also increases the cost in our economy. "The economic costs from the excess morbidity and mortality attributable to obesity-related diseases go beyond health-care costs alone, perhaps most notable are the consequent losses in productivity" (Wang, McPherson, Marsh, Gortmaker, & Brown, 2011). We need to be focusing on more physical activity and better eating habits. This essay will include a literature review of three scholarly sources based on obesity, explain how academic knowledge impacts social elements of local and global communities, asses how principles of active citizenship could impact the issue of obesity within the next five years, as well as share two bogs on obesity. The first literature of review on obesity is focused on guidelines and treatment for the disease. There have been numerous treatment programs but none have provided...

...Strategic Management Journal, Vol. 12, 535-548 (1991) PORTER'S 'COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF NATIONS': AN ASSESSMENT ROBERT M. GRANT Management Department, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California, U.S.A. Porter's Competitive Advantage of Nations is an important book which bridges the gap between strategic management and international economics while contributing substantially to both. Porter's analysis ofthe impact of national environment on international competitive performance demonstrates the potential for the theory of competitive strategy to rescue international economics from its slide into refined irrelevance, while simultaneously broadening the scope ofthe theory of competitive strategy to encompass both the international dimension and the dynamic context of competition. Nevertheless, the breadth and relevance of Porter's analysis have been achieved at the expense of precision and determinancy. Concepts are often ill defined, theoretical relationships poorly specified, and empirical data chosen selectively and interpreted subjectively. The Competitive Advantage of Nations is an important book. Among Porter's books to date, it is the broadest in scope and the most ambitious in intent. The book addresses a question which lies at the heart of economic and managerial science: 'Why do some social groups, economic institutions, and nations advance and prosper?' (Porter, 1990: xi).This is no new issue: the same question stimulated Adam Smith's...

A very small player by world standards, Canadian wineries face intense and intensifying competition within the domestic market. The demand side of this market is dominated by a small number of large provincial monopoly retailers. The supply side comprises five substantial firms that account for ninety percent of total wine production and a large number of very small wineries. The Canadian competitive environment is characterized by strong historical reputations of (and consumer preferences for) Old World wines, economies of scale and technology associated with New World wines, (at best) stable per capita wine consumption patterns, rapid increases in both the number of domestic wineries and land under viticulture...
