...OF PHOENIX Professor PAGE BROOKS Ideal Person Confucius educated people about many things; the essential subject being on how an ideal human being ought to be. According to his philosophies, Confucius stated that an ideal individual possessed good ethical personalities (Werner & David, 2002). He believed that good decent principles were the basis for any human beliefs. He alleged that a superlative person must possess deep respect for devotion and respect his father and leaders. This made Confucius to emphasize more on person’s obedience to their leaders and parents. He also expected an ideal being to reflect for himself, directed by distinct rules of demeanor.

Ren is the individual heartedness, integrity, compassion, and the things that give individuals their civilization. Li is a standard of achievement, advantage, order, and the existing channel to individuals’ deeds. There are two main meanings of Li; the initial one being the substantial guide to individual interactions or the convention of appropriate measures that embodies ren. The other concept is the universal social order principle also known as the general life organization (Xinzhong, 2000). However, for ren to survive, Confucius alleged that individuals required a well-organized civilization. A disciplined civilization consisted...

...p. 31 - PART 1: Summary 1. Force yourself to act enthusiastic, and you’ll become enthusiastic. Make a high and holy resolve that you will double the amount of enthusiasm that you have been putting into your work and into your life. If you carry out that resolve, you will probably double your income, and double your happiness. How can you begin? There is just one rule: To become enthusiastic, act enthusiastic. 2. Remember the one sentence uttered by Walter LeMar Talbot. “After all this business of selling narrows down to one thing, just one thing, seeing the people. Show me any man of ordinary ability who will go out and earnestly tell his story to four or five people every day, and I will show you a man who just can’t help making good!” 3. If you want to overcome fear and develop courage and self-confidence rapidly, join a good course in public speaking. Not just a lecture course. Join only a course where you make a talk at every meeting. When you lose your fear of speaking to an audience, you lose your fear of talking to individuals, no matter how big and important they are. 4. One of the greatest satisfactions in life comes from getting things done and knowing you have done them to the best of your ability. If you are having trouble getting your ability to think, and do things in the order of their importance, remember there is only on way: Take more time to think and do things in the order of their importance. Set aside one day as Self-organization...

...Case Synopsis 1: Robin Hood Robin Hood and his merry men are now in trouble because wealthy travelers (their source of revenue) are avoiding the forest. As is often common in an entrepreneurial organization, the Merry Men were highly motivated by Robin Hood’s leadership. Therefore, Robin had previously relied on informal communication to organize and implement operations. Robin is pleased with the growing size and influence of his organization. However, growth has meant that specialized duties have begun taking up most of the men’s time, leaving a command vacuum between Robin and the first line recruits. In addition, they are now all located in a large encampment that can be seen for miles. This creates the probability of a surprise attack on their position. Growth has also put great pressures on resources, so now they must harvest the forest more thoroughly. Rich travelers are avoiding the forest, so in desperation Robin is considering robbing the poorer travelers, which means his lieutenants must now tell their men to rob their brothers and fathers. What started as a rebellion has been routinized into banditry. Robin must therefore begin to question the Merry Men’s mission. Should it still be an extension of his private grudges and aspirations? Has the organization acquired a new mission, if so what is it? On whose behalf should the organization formulate its mission! Summary of Discussion Questions 1. What is strategy? 2. What strategic problems does Robin...

...Summary of A Conversation with Ai Weiwei, an interview conducted by Zheng Shengtian Ai Weiwei, a respected contemporary artist from China is the interviewee in Zheng Shengtian’s article, A Conversation with Ai Weiwei. Conducted in the artists’ studio in Caochangdi, Beijing on July 19, 2013, Shengtian delves deeply into Weiwei’s life before and after his foray into the art world. It is through this interview that we get a sense of what the underlying inspirations were and what the current motivating factors are for Ai Weiwei as an artist and activist. A privileged childhood was far from the reality for Ai Weiwei. At an early age, Weiwei was already grasping what it meant to be wrongly accused and the consequences it had. Weiwei and his family were sent to live in a military camp in Xinjiang, China after his father; Ai Qing was condemned as a “rightist” in 1957 (Shengtian 6). When asked about his life in the military camp, Weiwei did not have a clear recollection and only saved a few traumatizing memories. He recalled the time when their military camp fired the first shot of China’s Cultural Revolution on January 26th. “I remember hearing lots of explosive noises. I saw my family boarding up the door. I heard running footsteps on our rooftop. Because the rooftop was made of tiles, which were not soundproof, I could hear the bullets whistling by” (Shengtian 8). Seeing dead bodies, including classmate, Ma Lu, is still very much a vivid memory for Ai Weiwei. Such scenes would...

He was anxious to learn as his classmates shunned him and called him dumb. He did not attend pre-kindergarten classes. He achieved a perfect score on the Beginning Sounds and the Phoneme Blending Assessment but only 69% on the Yopp-Singer Test. The result from the Yopp-Singer test shows emerging phonemic awareness. It appears he has trouble with words that have the “th” sound at the beginning of the word, as well as, words with silent “e” at end. He is aware of the silent “e” and gets confused as whether to sound it out or not. Oddly enough he sounded the “gr” sound as “grr.” The first thing the tutor did was tell the student how well he did on the beginning sounds and blending tests. The tutor assured the student he was not dumb. She outlined what he needed to do, with him, and asked what he felt he was having trouble with. He said he did not understand why there is an e at the end of some words that have no...

...their ability to think creatively and on abstract level due to the lack of arts education in schools today. If children were provided with arts education they would have higher test scores, would be more likely to go to college, and less likely to participate in criminal activity. Students who graduate from high school are products of a very test-centered and narrowed curriculum based upon answering a multiple choice question accurately. Recent high school graduates are unable to compete in the post-secondary education realm due to their inability to think creatively and critically compared to their classmates from around the world. At the non-profit I volunteer at, the walls are lined with quotes by famous artists that students can identify with such as Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, these are people who have been subjected to arts education and they are now making millions of dollars of off art. Arts education can refer to either being educated in the arts or using art as a way to teach general education. Drama, music, visual art, and dance are the most general types of art that are integrated into schools. In the President’s committee on the Arts he states the importance of integrating arts into general subjects “Reading, math, and writing require students to understand and use symbols and so does assembling shapes and colors in a portrait or using musical notes to learn fractions. Experiences in the arts are valuable on their own, but they also enliven learning of other subjects...

...researching about their assigned school work. Homework, in a way, is a good way of maintaing the knowledge students gained from school, but is it really the most effective way of providing supplemental studies? Most studies have shown that homework may be more supplemental than being detrimental to a student’s learning. On one perspective, it has been proven that assigning homework is beneficial to a student’s performance in school. Evidence has been found that homework is an effective supplemental form of learning, and “can impact positively on the retention and understanding of knowledge and can improve study skills...and demonstrate that learning can take place outside of formal schooling,” (qtd. in Department of Education and the Arts 7). This shows that studying should not just be confined to the walls of the classroom, and that after-school learning is vital to reinforce what has been taught by the teacher to the students. Without this reinforcement, students might easily forget the concepts learned in the classroom. Thus, this would result to a poor evaluation performance. This is especially true to students who do not pay attention during Evaristo 2 class time. Because of homework, they would be forced to study the lesson, and soon enough, result to understanding what has been taught in the classroom. Students who do homework have also shown drastic improvements in their performance as compared to the students who do not do any homework at all. To quote one...

Then I examined the specific market that our company targets and used what I found to write the target market section. I also looked at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing the company. Those I then translated into internal and external opportunities and presented with bullet points. Using the information I gathered along with the work done by Cheyann, we decided on the marketing objectives we were going to try. I went on to summarize these objectives and the plans that went along with them. I also wrote out our action plan that we would implement to meet those objectives. I do not really remember or even know what it was that Cheyann did. However, I know that she did a lot of work, and then she did even more over the thanksgiving break.
