...Leadership Week One Homework Assignment 1A Topic : Going Public with your Reasoning Submitted by: Ariful Haque Shovon ID: 023433821 Going Public With Your Reasoning Question 1: Think of a topic or issue or situation that you find very upsetting or frustrating. Do a little “ranting” on that issue. That is, write some very strong and emotional statements about this issue or situation. You might begin with “One thing that makes me furious is __________.” Try to write four or five sentences. One thing which makes me furious is the amount of double standards that you have to see nowadays. Originality has become a rare quality to be seen amongst people. I believe when we were young about 7-8 years old, we used to be so original in that age. We stood up for what we wanted, what we did not like and those who would commit any sort of wrongdoing. However, as I have grown, I have realized people around me become double standard. Actions speak louder than words, what’s worse than silence are the ones speak the wise words but do not act like it. People are busier creating an image for themselves with words, but not actions. Along with time, voice has grown louder, but we can only find a few people doing wise with their actions. Those we see are acting rightly as they speak, usually they have a motive behind it. Large institutions are campaigning for a better environment, helping the poor by donating them. However, are they truly standing up for their actions? People will...

(Deceleration of Independence US 1776) However, this right has been denied to African Americans throughout history because of the color of their skin. Black people were looked at harshly in society because of their race. W.E.B. DuBois was considered one of the most famous and influential civil rights activists during the twentieth century. DuBois was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University. He contributed to African American literature with his literary works.

...and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games are considered to be the world's foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating.[2] The Olympic Games are held every four years, with theSummer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart. Their creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority. The evolution of the Olympic Movement during the 20th and 21st centuries has resulted in several changes to the Olympic Games. Some of these adjustments include the creation of the Winter Olympic Games for ice and winter sports, the Paralympic Games for athletes with a disability, and the Youth Olympic Games for teenage athletes. The IOC has had to adapt to a variety of economic, political, and technological advancements. As a result, the Olympics has shifted away from pure amateurism, as envisioned by Coubertin, to allowing participation ofprofessional athletes. The growing importance of mass media created the issue of corporate sponsorship and commercialization of the Games. World wars led to the cancellation of the 1916, 1940, and 1944 Games. Large boycotts...

...Globalization: It’s a small world after all Ty Turcotte Kaplan University Globalization: It’s a small world after all With the onset of the Internet, local and global businesses are in reach of each other. Application and database development now need to consider culture specific requirements in the design and implementation of a new product. Specific to Access databases, there are many factors to consider when globalizing the database. Language is the number one factor. If an end user is using the access database in Japan, the forms generated in Access should have a Japanese language option. Additionally, some data fields may need to be formatted to be viewed in culture specific formats. Finally, the data type of a field needs to be considered such as the measure of unit. Maintaining a database that is created for global use can be challenging. For example, certain words have significant meanings in other cultures and can be misconstrued. However, there needs to be more than just sensitivity towards cultures (Haught, 1998). Some languages such as Mandarin, Tia, and Kana require double-byte text fields. Within Access 2013, short text data type is single-byte, where long text allows for double-byte fonts. In addition to entering the data in a native language, another consideration is how to manage the data if several languages are allowed within database (“Double-Byte Character Sets”, 2014). Sometimes double-byte characters cause queries within Access to produce...

...American Literature March 20.2014 African American entrapment in the Double-Conciseness stigma. Throughout my research on "Double Consciousness," I stub lame upon the founding that Dubois is the philosopher behind "Double consciousness." According to Dubois, "Double consciousness is” the presence of two apparently unconnected streams of consciousness in one individual.” This was first seen “in an Atlantic Monthly article titled “Strivings of the Negro People” in 1897. It was later republished with minor edits under the title “Of Our Spiritual Strivings” in 1903 book The Souls of Black Folk. Du Bois describes “double consciousness” as follows: “It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.” DuBois used the context in relation to Race, Ethnicity, and Society in the United States of America. In which I came to the understanding of this theory, African Americans do not act as how society projected as to act embedded with Darwin's theory survival of the fittest we adapt to the masculine kind in order to survive. This will help us to advance with in our society. For example: African American are known to wear their pants sagging off their rumps, even though this stereotype is true, not all of us dress as such. And this is where the “double consciousness” comes into play. Some of us African American who...

...God creates the world by dividing it into a system of doubles—the sun and the moon, light and dark, the land and the sea, and male and female. When Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, and when Cain kills his brother Abel, good and evil become apparent in the otherwise perfect world that god creates. It is described in Genesis that not only is man made in the image of God, making man parallel to god, but woman, also contrasts with man, because of how she was created from man’s rib. Old Testament writers describe the world as a place of binary opposites, setting two opposing forces against each other in order to show the stark contrast between the two. These forces include positive and negative, good and bad, and lesser and greater. The Old...

The articles selected by each members of the learning team were: Explaining satisfaction in double deviation scenarios: the effects of anger and distributive justice (Jessica); Consumer Socialization in a Wired World: The Effects of Internet Use and Parental Communication on the Development of Skepticism to Advertising (Waleska); Real Estate in the Real World: Dealing with Non-Normality and Risk in an Asset Allocation Model (Pollyanna); and Social network productivity in the use of SNS. (Miguel). In the student (Jessica) article is an article in where the research has shown that more than half of attempted recovery efforts only reinforce dissatisfaction, producing a double deviation effect. Surprisingly, these double deviation effects have received little attention in service marketing literature. To fill this gap, this article aims to develop and empirically test a model of how customers form satisfaction judgments in double deviation scenarios. The article seeks to propose that emotions have a distinct and separate influence from perceived justice in explaining satisfaction with failed recovery. It also employs the critical incident technique to obtain data from banking customers and apply latent variable path analysis to test the proposed model...

...Double Consciousness In the United States, every minority sees the sense of division within themselves and the rest of the Americans. In 1903, W.E.B. DuBois expressed his internal conflict with his identity in Souls of Black Folk. DuBois explained, “It is a peculiar sensation, this double- consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks in amused contempt and pity.”, with double consciousness meaning that he felt his identity was divided into different faces and he could not be just one identity.

At one point, black John and white John arrive in New York at the same time where they both attend a show. However, while black John was there, he was forced to leave because of his race. When he finishes school, black John decided to open up a school for the people in his community. However when he decides to go against the school’s curriculum to teach about racism that existed within American society, his school gets shut down. The story ends with black John heading up north, awaiting lynching for killing white John who raped his sister. This story is a perfect example of double consciousness as it demonstrates a parallel situation for two men who would have had presumably similar experiences in their attempt to receive an education had it not been for one’s...

Changing demands for its cargo mean that there may be more business in one part of the world for one month, but that could switch dramatically the next month. Its responsive nature means that vessels can be switched between geographical areas to add or reduce capacity as the need arises. • Hull design A major component of tanker architecture is the design of the hull or outer structure. A tanker with a single outer shell between the product and the ocean is called a single-hull vessel. Most newer tankers are double hulled as required by the latest marine laws and international conventions. The double hull vessels has an extra space between the hull and the storage tanks. Hybrid designs such as "double-bottom" and "double-sided" combine aspects of single and double-hull designs. All single-hulled tankers around the world will be phased out by 2026, in accordance with the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 (MARPOL). The United Nations has decided to phase out single hull oil tankers by 2010. See the diagram below for comparison between single and double hull vessels. In 1998, the Marine Board of the National Academy of Science conducted a survey of industry experts regarding the advantages and disadvantage of double-hull design. Some of the advantages of the double-hull design that were mentioned include ease of ballasting in emergency situations, reduced the use of saltwater as ballast in tanks...

...In section 1 of W.E.B Du Bois's essay "The Afro-American" , Du Bois introduces the two different worlds that white and black children experience. He identifies the multiple possibilities and worlds that a white child will be able to see and travel; while a black child is born not only into one specific world, but he is also limited by a completely different set of guidelines. Du Bois then goes to talk about how being a black boy is seen as a problem, and yet there is little to no help from the government to change and better the black boy. Education is greatly deprived from the black boy and even when white children have poor education conditions, black children suffer greater. A black child can dream to be better than he is, or his family...
