...Ron molder clothesline Project October 14, 2013 Words cannot adequately describe the feelings I feel for the people behind the shirts at the clothesline project. Especially women who are beat and abused both physically and sexually, as well as raped and manipulated. I had never heard of the clothesline project before but the more than “traumatizing” experience will leave an imprint upon my brain forever. There are two things I wish to mention at the beginning of my paper. As I was walking to the grande ballroom I was asked by a student ambassador to write something upon a wall that inspires me. I wrote “the look on a person’s face when you do something that makes their day.” And as I was walking around looking at the various t-shirts and stories the thought kept coming back: “what inspires these people to act the way they do.” I couldn’t understand why there were so many Fathers beating mothers and children, Grandfathers and uncles molesting loved ones, and so people who have been murdered. Shirt after shirt “I hate you” and “why did you do this to me” “I was only x amount years old” I was appalled. More so for the fact that these experiences are happening to us right in our neighborhoods. At the beginning I thought this was a traveling exhibit, but it is not. This is happening right in our own community, around us every day. The sad part is the fact that in a lot of cases, the victims didn’t say anything for years at a time, or due to circumstances people didn’t even believe...

...customers, potential employees, and community visitors (Field). Job interviews can give cause for high anxiety to a person when wondering what to wear for the interview. There are several points that can be covered to help better understand the business etiquette in the job market today. One important point to consider when thinking of business casual dress code is the region you live in or the type of industry. The East Coast and Midwest are more conservative than the West Coast (Heathman). The climate can be a factor as well. Changing seasons can determine the dress code throughout the year. Traveling for your company can make a difference in what determines your business casual dress code. The interpretation of business casual can mean something different to each employee. While one person’s understanding could be khakis and polo, another person’s may be jeans and a t-shirt. Being clear on your company’s description of a business casual dress code is important to cover, so that there are no misunderstandings by any faction. Incorporating an official dress code policy and attaching it or including it in the employee handbook can help alleviate the confusion (Empowerment). Certain days can be declared dress down days, generally Fridays. On these days,...

...The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy The opening of this story begins with an organized student protest at Georgetown University, where author Pietra Rivoli, who is a professor of finance and international business, is watching the students arguing statements. This immediately captures my attention as it begins to describe a common characteristic of a major University that I live near and attend many events at. The University’s organized peaceful protest allowed the public speaking through protesting on the topic of the evils of big corporations and the explanation of how these big corporations, Globalization, The World Trade Organization (WTO) and the international Monetary Fund (IMF) are exploiting workers all around the world. One speaker alluding to “sweat shops” particularly caught the attention of the author by exclaiming, “Who made your T-Shirt”? This statement sparked Rivoli’s intrigue that is a great use of foreshadowing for what the story will lead to. The traveling of thousands of miles and across multiple continents to find out “who” really did make these shirts. We all wear our everyday cotton “tee’s” without giving a second thought about the journey each T-Shirt had to go through in order to make it here to the United States. This sets the foundation for the rest of the book and explains its purpose. The first stop in this journey isn’t on foreign soil where I expected the book to lead off, but rather here in the Continental United States at the Reinsch...

...Making Plans It was a gorgeous summer morning as I, my mom and dad were traveling home to Korca from Athens, where we had gone to spend the weekend. The atmosphere in the car was fun and filled with laughter. We were glad to be together. We were a bit louder than usual that morning as we had great plans for the day. Since we had to travel through Ioaninna , we all agreed that we should eat at a nice restaurant and then go to the zoo where we could eat some more and then see the animals. Daddy was a bit tense and growly, his usual demeanor when traffic was thick as it was on that Friday morning. The cars were lined up one after another, traveling 75 km per hour, to the horizon and beyond. We passengers paid scant attention to the outside world as we were involved in a thought-provoking discussion regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the private education. "And how about the students who think that paying the university a lot..," dad began and never finished as a large truck two to three cars ahead began rolling away from us straight down the highway. Someone was screaming. Someone else was yelling. "Oh my God. Oh, my God!" I heard the unreal sound of a very loud syncopated rhythm like a huge unearthly drum mixed with the nightmarish noise of metal bending, crushing, and scraping, glass shattering with each thud of that heavy truck against the inflexible pavement of the highway. "There's a guy on the road! Oh God!" "Stop...

...Travel Poster Betty Kapasa Nur/408 Professor: Jacqueline Paik June 8, 2011 University of Phoenix This writer’s country of choice is Zambia located in the southern part of Africa. Zambia’s history goes back to the debut of Homo sapiens: evidence of human habitation going back 100,000 years has been found at Kabwe, north of Lusaka. Beginning around 1000 AD, Swahili-Arab slave-traders gradually penetrated the region from their city-states on the eastern coast of Africa. Between the 14th and 16th centuries a Bantu-speaking group known as the Maravi migrated from present-day Congo (Zaïre) and established kingdoms in eastern and southeastern Zambia. In the 18th century, Portuguese explorers following the routes of Swahili-Arab slavers from the coast into the interior became the first known European visitors. After the Zulu nation to the south began scattering its neighbors, victims of the Difaqane (forced migration) began arriving in Zambia in the early 19th century. Squeezed out of Zimbabwe, the Makalolo people moved into southern Zambia, pushing the Tonga out of the way and grabbing Lozi territory on the upper Zambezi River. Zambia is a land locked country with a population 12,935,368. Kenneth Kaunda, a militant former schoolteacher, took over the leadership of the Africans from the more moderate Nkumbula and in 1959 formed a new party, the United National Independence Party (UNIP). Following a massive civil disobedience campaign in 1962, Africans were given...

...Case Studies: Disruptive Student Behavior Written by Billie Hara, Prof Hacker, The Chronicle of Higher Education The following case studies come from a series entitled “Disruptive Student Behavior” from the Profhacker blog at the Chronicle of Higher Education website (http://chronicle.com/), which detail possible classroom scenarios that faculty may potentially face. The original blog posts include caveats for each scenario, additional context, and many include responses from seasoned faculty. However, for this document we have stripped away everything except the actual case studies. Below is a comprehensive listing of case studies that focus on in-class situations, pulled from this series and presented in the following categories: The Bullies The Talkative The Entitled The Chatterers The Disrespecters The Barely Clothed The Twarters The inappropriately clothed The Smelly The Talkative (The Case of Know-it-All Nancy) February 2010, http://chronicle.com/blogPost/Disruptive-Student-Behavior/22948/ SCENARIO: You plan to facilitate a discussion in your class about readings that you assigned. As students enter the room and settle into their seats, you can feel the buzz in the air. They are excited. They want to discuss the subject. You begin class by asking a very open-ended question, a question designed to allow the students to take the subject in an area that interests them. The first student who responds to your question, a question that is barely out of your mouth...

...the missing negative. Though this journey he found a lot more than just a missing negative he found his true self. Film makers have explored the idea of a journey throughout the story using film techniques such as colour, costumes and sound. There are many different types of journeys in this film including physical, psychological and geographical journeys. One of Walter’s geographical journeys is traveling to Iceland and Greenland. The first journey to Iceland was his departure from his safe world. This means that he is taking his first steps into his journey to find the missing negative. Although he didn’t triumph he started to find his real self. You can see this as the camera loosens and the colors brighten as he skates down the hill towards a volcano this is a big turning point. This was because he used to be a skater; he was rediscovering is old self. This image encouraged by the green hills in the background and the happy music playing. In this scene he is not wearing a suit and tie as he was in the beginning of the film; he was wearing camo green pants and a long sleeved T-shirt. As the movie progresses his clothing becomes more colorful and rugged, so does his face, at the start of the movie he was freshly shaved but now he has a beard, this is a metaphor for the internal changes he is experiencing. Secondly another journey is to go from fear to confidence. He was helped to face his fears by Cheryl singing Major Tom as he is in the bar. Even though it was a fantasy it...

...I woke up early that morning, brushed my teeth with travel-sized minty toothpaste, and threw on my plain white t-shirt and white nike shorts. I put my chacos on and started brushing my thin, brown hair into a high side ponytail with a white, monogrammed bow as big as my head. This sounds like a typical morning, but it was the introduction to a day that would change my life forever. We closed the door and got in the car for the half an hour to the almost non-existent town of Hunt, Texas. I was nervous, and I noticed lots of SUVs with colorful monogrammed camp trunks showing through the back windows. They were all traveling like a caravan on their way to the inviting green gates of Camp Mystic. The outside of camp was camouflaged with tall Texas trees. It looked like a forest from the outside, but when you crossed the green gates, the camp was a valley with bright green grass, rolling hills, and the opaque water of the Guadalupe River, beckoning you for a swim. It smelled like fresh grass, pine trees, and peaches. My eight year old eyes were filled with awe. When my parents bid adieu, I walked over to the gargantuan stage where I was about to draw either a blue or red piece of paper...

...T o B u i l d a F i r e AY HAD DAWNED COLD AND GRAY WHEN the man turned aside from the main Yukon trail. He climbed the high earth-bank where a little-traveled trail led east through the pine forest. It was a high bank, and he paused to breathe at the top. He excused the act to himself by looking at his watch. It was nine o’clock in the morning. There was no sun or promise of sun, although there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day. However, there seemed to be an indescribable darkness over the face of things. That was because the sun was absent from the sky. This fact did not worry the man. He was not alarmed by the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun. The man looked along the way he had come. The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice. On top of this ice were as many feet of snow. It was all pure white. North and south, as far as D p J a c k L o n d o n 64 his eye could see, it was unbroken white. The one thing that relieved the whiteness was a thin dark line that curved from the pine-covered island to the south. It curved into the north, where it disappeared behind another pine-covered island. This dark line was the trail—the main trail. It led south 500 miles to the Chilcoot Pass, and salt water. It led north 75 miles to Dawson, and still farther on to the north a thousand miles to Nulato, and finally to St. Michael, on Bering Sea, a thousand miles and half a thousand more. But all this—the distant trail...
