...Curtis July 1, 2014 Table of Contents Introduction/Thesis Statement 1 The French Revolution 2 Immanuel Kant Albrecht Ritschl Friedrich Nietzsce 3 Bultman Bonhoeffer Van Buren Hamilton Altizer Conclusion 4 Bibliography 5 Introduction/Thesis Statement One of the most difficult questions today posed to Christian believers is to prove the existence of God. It by all appearances seems that the Christian belief, far more than any other is under attack by groups who are opposing not just belief in God but also a direct attack on religious freedom. By religious freedom the author here does not focus on the right to choose your religion, but to practice it openly without fear of legal retaliation or of retaliation of any kind. The God-Is-Dead Theology is not a new belief but has existed since the late nineteenth century with its roots founded in statements made by Friedrich Nietzsche who lived from 1844 and died in 1900. The sole purpose of this paper is to show the historical workings of those “theologians” who created the God-Is-Dead theology, how it got its possible rise stemming from the events of the French Revolution, and how their work has influenced modern atheism today. The first section will begin with an analysis of the historical events of the French Revolution. French Revolution For several centuries many European nations in conjunction with the Catholic Church...

...source of anxiety to both teachers and parents, is how to approach the teaching of English using the first language (L1). This presentation hopes to address these concerns by proposing a World Englishes (WE) approach to English language teaching (ELT) in the Philippines. Introduction ! Just recently, a college freshman who interviewed me for his research paper on mother-tongue based multilingual education (MTBMLE) asked why I supported its promotion even it meant possibly losing my job as an English teacher. The question did not surprise me as it was something that I often encountered whenever teachers, especially English teachers in Metro Manila, are confronted with this unfamiliar creature that is MTBMLE. ! To many stakeholders of the English language--lawmakers, school administrators, teachers, and parents--MTBMLE is perceived as a threat. It is specifically perceived to be anti-English. These perceptions may be traced to beliefs about English that may largely be considered as myths. Facts about the English language ! What do we know about the English language? Let’s consider some facts. Paper presented at the Panel Presentation on ENGAGING ELT IN THE MTBMLE DISCOURSE 2nd Philippine Conference - Workshop on MTBMLE, 16 February 2012, Iloilo City (page 1) • There are approximately 375 million English L1 speakers, 375 million L2 speakers, and 750...

...Research Paper on Leadership Executive Summary Leadership is a quality which cannot be acquired by any person from the other but it can be acquired by self-determination of a person. Leadership is to make a difference, to create a positive change; providing the impetus that creates an atmosphere of change that improves the world, or at least the small part of the world around us. Leading is establishing direction and influencing others to follow that direction. Leaders are individuals who, by their actions, facilitate the movement of a group of people towards a common or shared goal. Leadership is an influential process. The distinction between leader and leadership is very important. The leader is an individual; leadership is the function or activity that person does. The word leader is often used interchangeably with the word manager to describe those individuals in an organization who have positions of formal authority, regardless of how they actually act in those jobs. But just because a manager is supposed to be a formal leader in an organization doesn't mean that he or she exercises leadership. Leadership is one of the important parts of management. Leadership means that we are willing to take on responsibility and make choices for our self, it's not something which was thrust upon by someone else, but a responsibility that we chose because we believe that we are the best man or woman for that job. Another...

Centre for Supply Chain Improvement, The University of Derby, Derby, UK. Dublin City University Business School, Dublin City University, Dublin, ROI. Business School, National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico. Received 04 April 2013; received in revised form 25 April 2013; accepted 26 May 2013 Abstract Increasingly competitive market environments have forced not only large manufacturing, but also smalland-medium size enterprises (SME) to look for means to improve their operations in order to increase competitive strength. This paper presents an adaptation and adoption by a UK SME engineering service organisation, of lean management, industrial engineering, and automation metods developed within larger organisations. This SME sought to improve the overall performance of one of its core testing processes. An exploratory analysis, based on the lean management concept of “value added” and work measurement technique “time study”, was developed and carried out in order to understand the current performance of a testing process for gas turbine fuel flow dividers. A design for the automation of some operations of the testing process was followed as an approach to reduce non-value added activities, and improve the overall efficiency of the testing process.

...tax payments, to the American taxpayer is likely to be more than $45 billion. Much of this cost comes from education, governmental aid, emergency medical care, and incarceration for those arrested for crimes. America is known for its freedoms, and there are many who illegally obtain and enjoy them through the hard work of the legal American tax payer. The United States is a Nation that is primarily the most “attractive” country, known as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. It is composed of many different people including immigrants and their descendants. Although Native American’s were the first to come to the States, they were gradually pushed aside unraveling a land for immigration. England and Scotland came to the United States next, along with Germany, the Netherlands, France and Sweden. In the 17th and 18th century, Africans were brought to America, against their will, to become slaves. Indentured servants were to abide by their owner for a seven-year term; and after they would be given papers to be free on their way. By early 1790, the European population totaled to about three million people. The American government saw the need for regulation and Congress passed the first Immigration Law. This law specified that after being in the U.S. for two years, any white person may...

...What are the important issues with the At-Will Law? Law545x Fall 2015 Sullivan University Charles Wayne Wood Abstract Introduction In exploring the history of the At-Will law I hope avoid first person to review the positive and negative effects on the At-Will law dealing with employee and employers, does it help both new sentence?? I will explore contracts between employees and employers, how can they be terminated, and if so does the employee get paid till the end of the contract. I will discuss the possibilities of just causes on the employee or employer can they be used to terminate the contract. awkward Do the different states have laws that help the employees or the employer? At the end of this research I hope to show trends in the law as it has changed in the past 10 to 15 years. The History of the Law The At-Will law was first created? by Horace Wood (1877). As my research has let me to believe Mr. Wood only created the concept of At-Will employment, he stated that the courts have already accepted it as the doctrine of the time. Mr. Wood’s statements were the catalyst of what’s the beginning of a number of new laws creating the At-Will employment doctrine. In his writing Sandler (2000), also agrees that Mr. Wood helped the courts pull away from the rules and laws set by the English at the time and helped to establish the new law for the USA. The general rule in American employment has...

...Computer science From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Computer science or computing science (abbreviated CS) is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems.[1][2] Computer scientists invent algorithmic processes that create, describe, and transform information and formulate suitable abstractions to model complex systems. Computer science has many sub-fields; some, such as computational complexity theory, study the fundamental properties of computational problems, while others, such as computer graphics, emphasize the computation of specific results. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describe computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems, and human-computer interaction focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to humans. The general public sometimes confuses computer science with careers that deal with computers (such as information technology), or think that it relates to their own experience of computers, which typically involves activities such as gaming, web-browsing, and word-processing. However, the focus of computer science is more on understanding the properties of the programs used to implement...

...Abstract This paper argues that innovation can be best understood as an information process which is then concretized as a product that meets demand. Two very different firms, Canon Inc. and Apple Computer Inc., are used as case study illustrations. Innovation does not proceed through logical deduction, but rather is furthered by the use of metaphors and analogies. The bureaucratic and staid structures of the firm can be challenged and broken up to provide the space for innovations to emerge. The leader’s role in the innovating firm is as a catalyst and facilitator, not as an allknowing despot. The importance of innovations is not merely in the new product, but also the “ripple” effects of innovations which can propel the firm into a self-renewal process. Keywords: Innovation management, High-technology, Case study. 1. Introduction Increasingly, corporate competitive success is hinging upon the effective management of innovation. Innovation has been the object of considerable academic study from a variety of perspectives. However, innovations are usually considered as objects. We choose to look at innovation differently. For us, innovation is a process by which new information is created, and it is this information that is embodied in the product. To understand this process we conceptualize human beings not merely as information processors (Galbraith, 1973), but more importantly as information creators. Inherently, innovation is the process by which new...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report was commissioned to examine the effectiveness of internal communication of a reputed consulting firm that has widespread reach on domains such as media intelligence, PR, consulting and training to undergraduate students. The research process included conducting in depth interviews with two of the department heads and also with a reporting subordinate. Other sources include organizational statements posted online and the behavioural aspects of employees as monitored before and during the interview process. The research draws attention to key findings that the organisation fosters open communication and there is a strong commitment from top management towards employees. The communication channels applied most frequently are informal, such as word-of-mouth and telephone coupled with a company intranet or emails which the employees can access. The dialogic communication has paved way for strong interpersonal relationships between the employees. While the firm’s operations are currently goal oriented, as the firm plans to enlarge its scale, operations will lean towards being process oriented. In such situations it will be difficult to sustain an informal communication structure and there will be a realization for a more formal communication structure. The report evaluates this range and concludes that even though the current communication practices in the organization are satisfactory, there is always a scope for improvement as there as in scenarios...
