...straight forward, detail oriented, someone who is going to want something completed yesterday. Also, there is someone from the group who is a risk taker, someone who is cautious. You will also have someone who needs to be directed step by step and maybe someone who needs to feel like they can say anything at anytime with no fear (Bressen, 2011). The groups that prosper usually will create the best ways to incorporate the diversity amongst each person that is there by creating a balance for all involved in the group (Bressen, 2011). There are several different types of roles that are used when going into a meeting. Think about what role you might play prior to heading into a meeting. Everyone that we know will put us into the category or character that they type cast us as but, we can decide on what role we want to play within the meeting depending on the specific occasion (Hattersley, 2008). “A little conscious planning can...

...councils control this society under laws that condemn the act of individualism. Defying the will of their brothers goes on as the basis of these laws. The ultimate transgression was speaking of “the unspeakable word,” (Rand 49). In this society, citizens are assigned to their future. Equality described the process as, “and we were punished when the councils of vocation came to give us our life mandates which tells those who reach their fifteenth year what their work is to be for the rest of their days,”(Rand 24). The Council of Vocation selects Equality to be a street sweeper. Eventually, he discovers the light bulb, which he looks at as the key to his dream of becoming a scholar. Anthem becomes a novella expressing a quest because the main character has a place to go, challenges and people he meets that prevent or help him with his journey, and a life changing reason to go there. Equality and his coworker, international, discover this tunnel while sweeping the...

...after 90 years of business. Review the mandated requirements for legal compliance (from chapter 4) and determine which requirements apply to the Arthur Andersen case. Explain your rationale After re-reading Chapter 4 there are five areas that separate the mandated requirements for legal compliance, and I feel the that two apply to the Arthur Andersen case; the protection of consumers, and incentives to encourage organizational compliance programs. In the laws that protect consumers they require businesses to provide accurate information protecting them from financial scams, unfair, fraudulent, or deceptive practices. There are “Gatekeepers” that are in charge of that such as lawyers, financial rating agencies, and financial reporting services that help enforce high ethical standards. This was the issue wan Andersen as there were no such “Gatekeepers” or compliance programs so they used the loopholes to their advantage. Discuss how the issues with the Arthur Andersen case may have played out differently if the Sarbanes-Oxley Act had been enacted in 1999. The provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act help minimize the likelihood of auditor failing to identify accounting irregularities...

...Trust and ethics are very important factors in the business world. We have to create a number of different solutions that help play a key role in building proper business ethics from employees, shareholders, board of directors, the CEO and the American people. I feel that all businesses need to promote accountability, transparency, and compliance, corporate governance systems and rely heavily on “gatekeepers”—corporate directors, in-house and outside counsel, and internal and external auditors. We need to revolutionize and rebuild trust and confidence again in the business world. Confidence in the character of the business world will enhance predictability, reliability, dependability, integrity, and regularity. Trust will give the business world a form of freedom. It will allow the business world to explore new directions, possibilities, and alternatives. Although trust always has its limits and always involves risk, trust frees the business institution from the need to continuously recheck, rethink, and reanalyze every decision and action they make. But we still need to have “gatekeepers” to keep executives from committing fraud again. Savings & Loan Scandal There have been many disappointments in my lifetime and that’s just in the past 30 years where the government has had to step in and provided some assistance at the expense of the American people. We can go back to the early 80’s when all the Savings & Loans went belly up and the government had to interfere and bail...

...The play Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, is one based on violence. Many instances allow the audience to perceive how cruel each character is. Other forms of violence were very honorable, for example, violence resulting from patriotism. Many acts of bloodshed were performed in this play, the war between Scotland and Norway, the war between the English and Macbeth, and the deaths of Duncan, Banquo, Macduff's family, and many more. ( insert sentence) Therefore, the play distinguishes between honorable or dishonorable violence. In the beginning of the play Macbeth slays Macdonwald. The captain reports to Duncan that Macbeth did not rest "till he unseamed him from the nave to th'chops, and fixed his head upon our battlements" Macbeth (1.2.24-25)....

On the off chance that individuals accept that a reasonable procedure was utilized as a part of choosing what it to be dispersed, then they may well acknowledge an irregularity in what they get in correlation to others. 2.3. As a record of political association on the bigger scale, Plato's protection of a aristocratic government was unrealistic to win wide endorsement in fair Athens. He utilized the characters Glaucon and Adeimantus to voice pragmatic complaints against the arrangement. They are particularly concerned (as Plato's Athenian counterparts may well have been) with some of its procurements for the gatekeeper class, including the support of both men and ladies, the disposal of families, and the instruction of youngsters. Likewise, Plato accepted that the hobbies of the state are best saved if kids are raised and taught by the general public overall, instead of by their natural folks. So he proposed a basic (if startlingly new) plot for the reproducing, sustaining, and preparing of youngsters in the gatekeeper class.4. Using a line for illustration, Plato partitions human information into four evaluations or levels, varying in their level of clarity and truth. To start with, envision a line separated into two areas of unequal length. The upper level relates to Knowledge, and is the domain of Intellect. The lower level relates to Opinion, and concerns the universe of tactile experience. Plato says just that the...

...Final Project Section 1: What is the purpose of education? What goals do you want your students to achieve? The purpose of education is to prepare someone to meet the demands of the real world. Education teaches an individual about a particular subject or it develops the problem solving skills that I feel everyone is born with. I feel that everyone is born with the ability to solve problems. Education challenges those skills and forces children and adults alike, to create or enhance their own problem solving skills. Albert Einstein was quoted as saying, “The aim [of education] must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, see in the service to the community their highest life problem” (Einstein, 2012). I think this statement holds true today. I feel that education must prepare people to take on the world. Each individual will develop into their own identity and discover what is important in their life and what is worth fighting for. Ryan and Cooper (2013) “say that education is a process of human growth by which one gains greater understanding and control over oneself and one’s world” (p.28). Education is a process and we all take steps in education. That is why there are grade levels and there are curriculums based off of those steps that we take. Each individual develops a little differently than the next, but education presents someone with a problem and allows a person to develop an answer. There are parts of education...

...Andrew Davis December 12, 2013 English 181 Professor Kappeler Postmodernism and Identity in Haruki Murakami’s Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World Since the Age of Enlightenment, the ideas of identity and consciousness have been explored by philosophers, psychologists, writers, and more. Since then, the definition of what identity is has changed and evolved, leaving the true, overarching definition unknown. In his novel Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Japanese author Haruki Murakami explores the ideas of identity and the consciousness through ideas brought up by postmodernist philosophers and psychologists such as Karl Marx, C.G. Jung, and Sigmund Freud and uses them to create characterization, themes, plot, and symbolism. An important point many notice when reading this book is that the plot is split into two plot lines: Hard-Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World. Wonderland is set in a modern-esque Tokyo, where the narrator is a Calcutec - a data manager that shuffles data in his head. In this arc, the story revolves around the job the narrator is doing for an old man known simply as the Professor. The other story arc, The End of the World, revolves around a narrator known as the Dreamreader. He is trapped in a walled-in town, where he is told his shadow must be removed and that he cannot leave. He is then made to read dreams from the skulls of unicorns, which live outside the town wall. While the story arcs seem to not connect to...

...Spengler (Harold Ramis) and Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) as they run a paranormal extermination service in New York City. They go around catching ghosts until they learn about an ancient pair of evil spirits known as “The Keymaster” and “The Gatekeeper” that summon another destructive, shape shifting creature with the power to destroy the world, Gozer. The ghost assumes the form of a giant Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man and begins terrorizing the city. By “crossing the beams” of their special ghost-neutralizing weapons, an action Egon stated would be catastrophic, the Ghostbusters save the day. Directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, Ghostbusters endures because it establishes a strong precedent for future film producers with interests in combining elements of comedy and supernaturalism. While it has minor setbacks such as the existence of unnecessary characters, Ghostbusters’ success is driven by the time dedicated by the writer to the character development of the Ghostbusters, Ramis’ deadpan expressions along with Bill Murray’s clever dialogue, and the appeal that Ghostbusters, Inc. had to the audience as a story about running a successful business. The movie is a clever and well written adventure, comprising characters with exceptional performances such as Bill Murray playing the cynical yet charismatic Peter Venkman and the lovable nerd in Egon Spengler as portrayed by Harold Ramis. Its success would inspire the creators of films such as Back to the Future...

...into chaos. The progression of age is seen as a biproduct of time, a change in the senses. In a way, the idea of time is as crucial to us as breathing. The imagery and emotion shown in Ernest Hemingway's short story “A Clean, WellLighted Place” address the importance of time in a powerful and depressing manner through the characters of a drunk old man, two waiters, and the setting of a night cafe. The idea of the vastness of time can be intricately depicted in his detailed imagery, from the way the old man remains in a sense of aged loneliness while retaining his sense of self, as well as the sympathetic relation the older waiter holds towards the drunk man. As crucial, and sometimes fearing, as time is in the natural aging cycle of life, it can also be a gatekeeper of youth and social engagement, as depicted in the younger waiter. In the on going race that is called life, there are moments that could freeze us in time. Moments of reflection that can leave one in a melancholic state of pondering, leaving nothing but the time that has past as a memento. This relation of time and aging can be seen in the character of the drunk old man as well as the setting of the cafe. Throughout Hemingway's story the cafe, though staying in it's...

...Est Omen? The Roman expression nomen est omen roughly translates to “name is destiny.” This idea seems to suggest that people lack free will, and that we are subject to the label bestowed upon us at birth. Research has shown that names do indeed affect the way the world responds to people; our names impact the way we are socialized, in other words. Expectations for a guy named Bubba or a woman named Shaquita are different than they are for people with the names Winston and Hillary. In other words people make assumptions about others base on their names. In Alice Hoffman’s novel Local Girls, the narrator plays with this idea of the interplay of destiny, socialization, and free will, symbolized by the names she gives the central characters. The character whose name is the most apparently burdening is Gretel. A name that is unusual in 20th century United States society, this name is imbued with fairy-tale associations. In the famous German fairy-tale “Hansel and Gretel”, Gretel and her brother are abandoned by their parents, specifically an abusive stepmother, in the forest. In Local Girls, Gretel and her brother Jason are abused by their stepmother, who yells at them repeatedly, even calling Gretel a “little bitch” (49). In the fairy tale, the stepmother leaves the children in the woods because the resources at home are too sparse. Similarly, Gretel and Jason’s stepmother, Thea, tries to push her stepchildren out of the house: Thea was talking about what a great place we were...
