...Transcendentalism took off in the 1800’s with a little help from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Emily Dickenson. These transcendentalists expressed their beliefs through writings such as poems and essays. These few transcendentalists went out of their way to represent their ideals and beliefs. Only a number of people understood the idea of transcendentalism because it is so complex and involved a much deeper thought process. It was this complexity within Transcendentalism that makes it stick out in history still to this day. Transcendentalism is an idealistic philosophical and social movement that developed in New England. Transcendentalism was developed in reaction to rationalism in 1836. It taught that divinity pervades all nature and humanity. The transcendentalist members held progressive views on feminism and communal living. Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of the better known transcendentalists, became a transcendentalist in 1832 which lead to the writing of “Self-Reliance” and “The American Scholar.” He later became the central figure of his literary and philosophical group, known as the American Transcendentalist. In the 1840’s he founded and co-edited the literary magazine The Dial. In 1841 and 1844 he published essays, including, “Self-Reliance,” “Friendship” and “Experience.” In “Self-Reliance” Emerson writes: A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the luster of the firmament of...

...turn, proves to have more organizational value than that of generalists. Summary Jack Welch, ex CEO of GE, has a management style that involves training people who are able to multitask and are competent in many different skill sets. GE’s high ranking leaders moved from department to department, within the company, which helped them get exposure to all facets of the company and gain a broader range of experience. Although they had experience in many areas of the company, they did not possess specific knowledge in any specific department. However, the new CEO, Jeff Immet, focuses on leaders who have deeper, rather than wider knowledge in their fields of experience. By eliminating the movement of the leaders from department to department; GE is allowing its leaders to remain in their departments on a long-term basis in order to develop in-depth expertise in that department. GE’s major paradigm shift to expertise is not a new concept, as many companies, such as Accenture and Ford, along with many of the Fortune 500 companies, have changed their leadership model to expertise focused. Having a great in-depth...

...act violently or out of character in some other way. This can be interpreted common actions of someone who has just been in a warzone for a prolonged period, but the strange way they act is often defined as a symptom of some sort or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder similar to what you would see in victims of rape or violent crimes. The PTSD experienced in these violent crime victims and veterans are not the same the way each of the symptoms line up side to side is enough proof that the experiences are clearly different fundamentally. The tension is that not all veterans are afraid of what they saw and reliving it over and over because they have no choice. The problem lies in them missing the war experience rather than trying forget it. Veteran’s face serious social obstacles acclimating back into the society of the U.S. and as a culture we have become increasingly infatuated with individualisms ideals which makes it harder for them to build rapport with their community. It is necessary to explore how we as a culture are responsible for what happens to our veterans not just when they’re overseas but also when they come home. We also must examine more abstract ways of examining troubled veterans because there is an egregious amounts of troubled individuals who are experiencing unique struggles but are being treated as if they are uniformly effected by PTSD, which they aren’t. There still remains a significant gray area in the ways in which we treat our returning troops. For instance...

...When I was waiting for my wonderful summer vacation last year, I suddenly saw a red and yellow poster posted at a narrow corner outside the corridor which is drew my attention. It was the information about going to Beijing internship for one month. I knew this is a good chance for me to experience a brand new life without my family. Under the keen competition, I could enhance my working experience in China. It would help me to improve Mandarin and become competitive in the future. I watched the TV in the airport for the Shenzhou 9 rocket launch when I was arrived in Beijing. This is an amazing moment that I can watch the long rocket launch in the capital of Beijing, a place where is politically aware. At the same time, I was the first time to feel proud to be one of the Chinese people. As the rocket means the national achievement for a country, I would feel that all people who surrounded by me do have a strong sense of identity. It shows a miracle in China again. In Beijing, it is shocking to see a mountain of people inside the MTR station every day. If you walk slowly, other people will use their invisible hand to push you to walk faster magically. When people want to get off in the next station, they are likely to ask a question, “Are you getting off in the next station?”. If no, he/she will then switch the place with you so the person can get off quickly. Also, I needed to take transportation nearly two hours to office. The colleagues told me that it is normal to take at...

...Active Ways to Get New Clients 1. Get the word out to family and friends in a meaningful way. I had a friend launching a business + blog who chose a method that I now love to use and help other people use: she wrote (actual) personalized + purposeful messages to each person. This may sound very “duh” to you, but make sure each time you reach out, you include: * a personal note that lets someone know this is not the same email/message 300 other people got; make a connection on a hobby, interest, desire, or need of theirs * a brief description of the type of work you are doing now and why it’s so important to you * the ways in which your friend/contact can help you (Do you want referrals if your friend knows someone in need of your services? Do you want people to share your message?) * a clear way for people to practically do what you’re asking/hinting (for example: if you’re asking for people to share your brand on Facebook, give them a brief description and picture “if they so choose to use it” . . . or if you’re asking for referrals from a good friend, give them an idea of what they could email out to others–and perhaps even give them a sweet freebie to distribute) * a sincere “thank you” for the person’s time in reading your message and in helping you any way they see fit Are you at a loss for where to pull personal connections from other than your phone’s contact book and Facebook friends list?

...Telecommuting: The New Way of Jobs in the Next Ten Years PHI210 – Critical Thinking March 11, 2012 Telecommuting will be the new way that jobs are performed in the next ten years. Telecommuting can be defined as working from a remote location, usually a home office, by electronically linking to a company. Allowing employees the option of telecommuting whether one or more days is an opportunity that most employees would take advantage. The origins of people telecommuting date as far back as the 19th century. The first person known to work from home or at a remote work site was a Boston Bank President. This Bank President was able to work from home by having a phone line strung from his office to his home, three blocks away. Later, in the year 1963, a computer programmer working on the Arpanet Project (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) withdrew from the project to stay at home with his wife who was experiencing a difficult pregnancy. It was another programmer who suggested an additional phone line be installed in the home of the programmer attending to his ill wife so that he could complete his program from there. The practice of working from home was finally given the term name Telecommuting by Jack Nilles, a scientist working on a NASA satellite communications project in Los Angeles, in 1973. The target audience for this argument would be employees currently working both in the office and telecommuting environments...

...Chapter 3 Information Systems, Organizations, and Strategy 129 TECHNOLOGY HELPS STARBUCKS FINO NEW WAYS TO COMPETE Starbucks is the world's largest specialty coffee retailer, with over 1,700 coffee shops in 55 countries. For years, Starbucks grew throughout the United States and internationally, opening franchises at an impressive rate. From 2002 to 2007 alone, the company tripled the number of stores it operated worldwide. Starbucks offers a unique experience: high-end specialty coffees and beverages, friendly and knowledgeable servers, and customerfriendly coffee shops. This was a winning formula for many years and enabled Starbucks to charge premium prices. During the economic downturn beginning in 2008, profits plunged. Customers complained that the company had lost its hip, local feel and had become more like a fast-foodchain. Many coffee drinkers went in search of cheaper alternatives from McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts for their coffee fixes. Starbucks stock lost over 50 percent of its value by the end of 2008. Major changes were in order. Starbucks seized the opportunity to overhaul its business by using severaldifferent strategies simultaneously. First, the company has revamped its in-store technology and sought to integrate its business processes with wireless technology and the mobile digital platform. Also, rather than copy the practices of competitors, Starbucks pursued a more aggressive product differentiation strategy, intended to emphasize the high quality...

...“It is More important to discover new ways of thinking about what is already known than to discover new data or facts”. This great dilemma, which the question is based on, is in choosing between discovering new ways of thinking about what is already known and discovering new data or facts, is quite a complicated task. Before I begin, the terms “new ways of thinking”, “facts”, and “data” must be defined. According to various dictionaries, data is defined as a series of observations, measurements, or facts; information is defined as an event which is known to have happened that can be verified through experience or observation. The phrase “new ways of thinking”, seems more ambiguous because how can there be new ways of thinking? However, for this essay, the definition of thinking from a different perspective or thinking in a way that is different from all previous ways of thinking is used. This, however, allows different people to have different new ways of thinking. A new way of thinking to one person would no longer be the same to another person. Most often, people would firmly say that new ways of thinking are innovative and new advances are advantageous; for example, in Economics, advances in technology would lead to a greater productive and allocative efficiency, which would result in greater levels of economic growth for a certain country, which, of course, it’s a great benefit for the society. However, there is also a need for discovery new data and facts to broaden our knowledge...

...New Hope in the Fight Against Rare Aging Disorder Summary An interesting scientific article appeared in the Boston Globe on June 30, 2011 titled “New hope in the fight against rare aging disorder” (Johnson, 2011). As an employee of Harvard Medical School and the Coordinator of the Paul F. Glenn Laboratories of the Biological Mechanisms of Aging, I found the article to be both educational and promising. Working with the leading scientist in the aging field, Professor David Sinclair, this article expressed one particular disease of aging relating to progeria patients. Formerly known as “Hutchinson-Gilford” syndrome, the rapid aging process in children with progeria causes serious diseases associated with aging. These precious children with progeria are able to play, laugh and love like other healthy children but “look old, thin, and suffer cardiovascular problems and usually live on average to the age of 12” (Johnson, 2011). Children with progeria suffer many of the same problems afflicted by aging – hair loss, bone density and fatigue. The article stated that scientists in Boston were experimenting with an “old drug” to help progeria patients. Scientific Method The National Institute of Health and doctors at Children’s Hospital will begin clinical trials using cells from progeria patients in the laboratory. Scientists will introduce to these diseased cells an altered drug referred to as “rapamycin, a transplant rejection medication shown in a dramatic 2009 study to...
