...The True You Everyone in this world is unique and special in his or her own way. Each individual has their own personality, but when compared to others a lot of traits are common amongst everyone. Finding out your true color, not only helps discover what type of person you are it always helps you understand those around you. I took the true colors test, a series of questions that asked what I prefer, what I would do, etc. While taking the true colors test I had a hard time describing myself and picking exactly which color I was, but I made sure to answer everything truthfully. In the end, I discovered that I am the color orange. The core needs and values of orange are we need freedom, adventure, spontaneity, excitement, competition and we are skillful. I believe that the color orange describes me very well. I personally believe that working on team projects can be a challenge, but after learning about orange I have discovered that I have many skills that I can bring to the table. As an orange I am very enthusiastic about my work. I always want to get a jump-start on my work so I can move onto my next task. I see this skill helping me in a group project because this means I am action-oriented so I will get my job done with the results I desire. I will also make sure that my teammates are doing their jobs as well. I am also a straightforward person, so if I do not like something that is happening in my group I will definitely voice my opinion, in a polite way of course. Lastly...

...Searle’s argument concerning computers having consciousness. I will argue that Searle’s argument against computers having consciousness is the stronger argument of the three arguments. Firstly, I will begin by examining the Turing’s and Putman’s argument showing their strengths and weaknesses. Then I will layout Searle’s argument and showing it strengths and weaknesses. Consequently, I will show that although Artificial Intelligence has the capability of producing machines that have humanistic functions, this science however lacks the ability to produce computers with minds. In other words, computers will do a lot, but won’t be a lot. Artificial Intelligence according to the Webster dictionary can be defined as computer programs developed to mimic human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, problem-solving, and making decisions. Artificial intelligence programs enable computers to perform tasks such as playing chess, proving mathematical theorems, etc. The definition of Artificial Intelligence can be further placed into four categories, these are systems that think like humans, systems that act like humans, systems that think rationally and systems that act rationally. Let examine the Turing test; this is test experiment invented by as the name suggests by A.M Turing as a proposal for the question whether machines can think. This experiment is one in which two connecting rooms are arranged each consisting of a teletypewriter. One room has a human (interrogator) and the other...

...my friends when I was a teenager. Whenever they needed me, I was always there for them. I have been flattering almost anyone that I’ve considered as my best friend. I gave anything they needed, and they usually just walked away with the benefits then left me all alone. I’ve never realized why I would let this happen, until I took the Enneagram Test. I have been Type 2, the “HELPER” for the past nineteen years. I am a 100% unwise helper. Before I took the Enneagram Test, I always thought that: “Maybe I have some kind of problem with my personality~ I mean. What kind of person will allow people to use them over and over again? I must be some kind of fool or neurotic! ” After I took this test, surprisingly, almost everything in the descriptions was accurate! This is exactly who I am! For all these years, I have been suffering from feeling abandoned or rejected by friends around me and I don’t even know why. I don’t understand why I treat them so well, but they just take that for granted and walk away? I have been sociable, but most of these so-called “friends” will only be there when they need my HELP! According to the Enneagram test, I have been “altruistic and unselfish” most of the time when people ask for help. What’s more, I have “unconditional love for my [loved ones]”, which also makes me even more vulnerable! I used to be very impulsive, but now I have learned to think twice before doing things, and I’m still working on it. I used to be a straight-talking person...

...Almost every single day we face adversity, whether from an academic standpoint or from a home life standpoint, and these have effects on us. We often forget how challenges and daily difficulties are what push us and motivate us to strive for better. As Horace states, everyone should use their adversity as a stepping stone to strengthen them as a whole and better their character; without adversity, we would never be exposed to the talents we have hidden within. When we face adversity, such as in an academic setting, we are pushed and given opportunities to elicit our true intellectual and physical talents. For example, when we are placed into the four core classes: science, math, history, and English, we are asked to study and memorize information while working towards the end goal of good grades. In the big picture, when we take tests and take these courses, we learn what subjects we excel in and which we struggle with, which often helps guide students to carefully select their perfect career path. Without both...

...What is Personality? As we all know everybody's heard the term personality, and most of us can describe our own or our friend's personality. What most don't know, however, is that personality is one of the most theorized and most researched aspects of psychology. Almost everyday we describe and assess the personalities of the people around us. Whether we realize it or not, these daily musings on how and why people behave as they do are similar to what personality psychologists do. Personality concerns the most important, most noticeable parts of an individual's psychological life. Personality concerns whether a person is happy or sad, energetic or apathetic, smart or dull. Over the years, many different definitions have been proposed for personality. Most of the definitions refer to a mental system -- a collection of psychological parts including motives, emotions, and thoughts. The definitions vary a bit as to what those parts might be, but they come down to the idea that personality involves a pattern or global operation of mental systems. Here are some definitions: "Personality is the entire mental organization of a human being at any stage of his development. It embraces every phase of human character: intellect, temperament, skill, morality, and every attitude that has beeen built up in the course of one's life." (Warren & Carmichael, 1930, p. 333) "An individual's pattern of psychological processes arising from motives, feelings, thoughts, and other major areas...

...The Weaknesses and Strengths of Common Sense and Science as Sources of Knowledge There are many sources of knowledge as the society progresses. In this case, the most controversial question would be whether or not common sense can be accounted as a reliable source of knowledge? Although both common sense and science can be taken into account as sources of knowledge, I will argue that to some extent common sense and scientific knowledge are still very different from one another. That is, scientific knowledge is much more highly valued and reliable than common sense. By definition, common sense is a knowledge that is developed from daily basis, and is primarily based on the viewer’s observation, while scientific knowledge is generated from a constant formal of testing in the real world. In this essay, I will discuss the weaknesses and strengths of common sense and scientific knowledge and defend my position for why scientific knowledge is generally regarded as more reliable and authoritative than common sense. In this section, I will discuss the main strengths of common sense and science. Arthur E. Murphy, an American philosopher, believed that the ability to learn by experience is the most fundamental factor in our intellectual progress. On one hand, namely, common sense is both common and sensible. That is, common sense beliefs can be easily observed by individuals and it is rather comprehensible. Science, on the other hand, uses a rational methodology. Also, along with...

...beer industry market is very competitive. Breweries must compete against other breweries, both large and small to remain a viable player in the sale of their beer. Budweiser is a product produced by Anheuser-Busch, an American brewery founded in St. Louis in the mid 1800’s. The intention of the following marketing plan is to not only continue to add to the legacy of Budweiser, but to re-energize the consumer’s appetite for Budweiser and increase the market share of the product. The formula for Budweiser is over 130 years old. The recipe has a unique blend of barley malt, brewer’s rice, yeast, water, and hops. These same five ingredients are what still goes into Budweiser today. We will promote how after 130 years the tried and true tradition of these five ingredients are the building blocks that give Budweiser its uncompromised flavor. In addition to the five ingredients, the seven steps in brewing Budweiser remain the same today. The seven steps are milling, mashing, straining, the brewkettle, primary fermentation, beechwood aging, and finishing (Budweiser Anheuser-Busch). Using the beechwood aging process allows more interaction between the beer and the yeast. This is the unique formulation that has propelled Budweiser into the staple beer which many others have imitated, but not quite duplicated. We will use Budweiser’s unique recipe and brewing process to market the product to our end users. The marketing plan for Budweiser will be aimed to solidify our current...

...Reading Analysis 1 Chapter 1 1. Evaluate this chapter’s definition of communication. What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses? If you were asked to improve it in one way, by adding, subtracting, or modifying something, what would you change? Present your answer and explain the reasoning that justifies it in a 100-200-word response. In chapter 1 of the Speech Communication, it has a good definition for the word “communication.” One of the most important strengths of communication is that there is no limit to any group of people and no one is really limited out either. There are some many people that can be blind, deaf, or have a special need by communication always finds a way for one and another to communicate. The weakness is to produce a state of unity and that it is only for humans. There are many variables that can complicate or convolute communication between different peoples. In Genesis 11:5-8 states “And so God scattered them upon the face of the Earth, and confused their language, and they left off the building the city, which was called Babel “because God there confounded the language of all the Earth.” I think for these statements that Genesis made about the Tower of Babel we should make one important change. One small way would be if gestures were more unified across human barriers than at least there would be some constants that made communicating with different people a little easier. 2.

...Abstract This paper investigates the strategic management of Pepsi Cola and Coca-Cola in an effort to make recommendations on how Pepsi Cola can build strategies in gaining a larger share of the market. The assessment of strategic management begins with the vision and mission of both organizations, which leads into literature review that identifies the consumer preferences of both Pepsi Cola and Coca-Cola. Following the literature review is the teams’ own personal assessment of consumer preferences for the Pepsi Cola and Coca-Cola brand (Please refer to Appendix A for the assessment). Finalizing the investigation are recommendations for Pepsi Cola to gain a larger share of the market. The Cola Wars Research Paper According to an industry report from Hoover’s (2014), the U.S. soft drink industry yields $34 billion annually and continues to grow internationally. The largest markets of consumption for soft drinks outside the U.S. are: Mexico, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay (Hoover’s, 2014). The constant change of consumer preferences is what drives Pepsi Cola and Coca-Cola to compete for a larger share of the market. The intense rivalry between Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola have been going on since the late 1800’s (Economy Watch, 2011); when Pepsi Cola was born from a “combination of: carbonated water, kola nuts, vanilla, and rare oils” (Pepsi Legacy Book, p.7. 2005). This paper focuses on the diversified strategies of both Pepsi Cola and Coca-Cola in their efforts to gain...
