...3 Comparison of his Speeches 4 Conclusion 5 References 6 Introduction Steve Jobs was an American inventor and cofounder of Apple Incorporation. He is widely regarded as one of the most successful communicator in business world. Analysis of his speeches would be a wonderful opportunity to learn about public speaking and skills required to be an effective communicator. Simplicity was a key feature of his speeches. If some part of speech had too much information, he used to divide it into smaller points so that audience can fully understand application of his ideas. His 2005’ commencement speech at Stanford University is cited as one of the most effective speeches and it is a good example to analyze communication style and skills employed in public speaking. The second speech analyzed in this critical analysis report is his iPhone introduction speech of 2007. This speech is quite long but it revolutionized smartphone industry of the world. Its impact was much larger than other speeches given by business leaders. To discuss communication style, skills and effectiveness, many of Mr. Job’s skills were researched for this report. But his commencement speech and iPhone introduction speeches are the primary source of this report. Commencement speech has more than 21 million views on YouTube. Same is true for his iPhone introduction speech so it would be fair to say that Steve Job has lot more audience (in millions) rather than only those present in his speeches. Communication Style...

...AKRAB BERSAMA SANDI MATEMATIKA Oleh : Fithri Angelia Permana, S.Si (WI LPMP NAD) Apakah matematika ilmu yang 'sulit'? Secara umum, semakin kompleks suatu fenomena, semakin kompleks pula alat (dalam hal ini jenis matematika) yang melalui berbagai perumusan (model matematikanya) diharapkan mampu untuk mendapatkan atau sekedar mendekati solusi eksak seakurat-akuratnya.Jadi tingkat kesulitan suatu jenis atau cabang matematika bukan disebabkan oleh jenis atau cabang matematika itu sendiri, tetapi disebabkan oleh sulit dan kompleksnya fenomena yang solusinya diusahakan dicari atau didekati oleh perumusan (model matematikanya) dengan menggunakan jenis atau cabang matematika tersebut. Sebaliknya berbagai fenomena fisik yg mudah di amati, misalnya jumlah penduduk di seluruh Indonesia, tak memerlukan jenis atau cabang matematika yang canggih. Kemampuan aritmatika sudah cukup untuk mencari solusi (jumlah penduduk) dengan keakuratan yang cukup tinggi.Dalam matematika sering digunakan simbol-simbol yang umum dikenal oleh matematikawan. Sering kali pengertian simbol ini tidak dijelaskan, karena dianggap maknanya telah diketahui. Hal ini kadang menyulitkan bagi mereka yang awam. Daftar berikut ini berisi banyak simbol beserta artinya. Matematika sebagai bahasa Di manakah letak semua konsep-konsep matematika, misalnya letak bilangan 1? Banyak para pakar matematika, misalnya para pakar Teori Model (lihat model matematika) yg juga mendalami filosofi di balik konsep-konsep matematika bersepakat...

The Union filed an appeal with the NLRB requesting authorization as the private bargaining representative of Acoustical manufacture and maintenance workers On December 20. As the election came near, the key issue became the salaries and benefits obtained by the non-union workers at the Echo organization set against those received by unionized personnel at a Bronx, New York, business owned by the Acoustical Enterprise. The Board has petition a cross-application for implementation of its charge. Learning that the Board abused its freedom of choice in confirm the Union as the private bargaining spokesperson of Acoustic personnel’s. The Employer acknowledges refusing to bargain but argued that the Union had been incorrectly certified, and therefore no legal duty to bargain could be imposed (Holley, 2010).

...Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine and Ronald Reagan all share fairly similar styles in their writing, especially through the speeches they gave. While giving their speeches and other pieces of writing they published, they were very successful in persuading their audience to accommodate for the change that needed to be made during the time. Despite them sharing all successful forms of persuasion, they most commonly adapted to the emotional aspect, also known as pathos. In Patrick Henry’s speech most commonly known as “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death,” he expresses a lot of emotion when trying to persuade the president to agree with his purpose. Henry’s purpose was to gain independence in the colonies by going to war with Great Britain, who had...

Emerging from what the Soviets identified as feudalistic societies, these groups where new arrivals to the concept of nations and nationalism, which the Soviets believed was the necessary next step in development. However, The Soviets denounced nationalism constantly as a key characteristic of the bourgeois, capitalist, imperial powers in speeches and print. Even Russian nationalism could not escape this explicit vilification. Russian nationalism had no place in Soviet dialogues outside of utter disdain prior to World War II. However, at the same time, the Soviet Union sent hundreds of Ethnographers to the periphery with orders to identify, categorize,...

...People want to be ensured that they are safe. They expect Kennedy to prevent this Crisis from happening and hope he can maintain the serenity. The American people value peace and “have no wish to war with the Soviet Union” (pg. 266 Paragraph 24). In his address, Kennedy shows the People that they have nothing to worry about. His second audience was that of Cuba, and the Soviet Union, but mainly Nikita Khrushchev. Through his speech, he shows the Soviet nation that they are not a threat and he is trying to keep his country safe. “I call upon the Chairman Khrushchev to halt and eliminate this threat to world peace and to stable relations between our two nations” (Pg. 266 Paragraph 22). This is how Kennedy shows that the Soviet Union is who he is addressing. Khrushchev wanted to avoid any future problems. His country was of value and he sought agreement from this speech. “The Great Arsenal of Democracy” took place in December of 1940. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s audience in this speech is also that of the American People. His speech was to focus on the topic of national security. It wasn’t a speech of war. The American People valued their country and their lives and they wanted to know what Roosevelt was planning. The major similarities between these two speeches were that they were both addressing the American People. They were also addressing about a certain country. Kennedy was addressing about Cuba and Roosevelt was addressing about Germany. That part was a major...

...Alexandra Roach Dr. Fiddner PLSC World Politics 101 006 October 8, 2015 Cuban Missile Crisis Analysis Due to the Cold War, in October 1962, tensions were high between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Cuban Missile Crisis began on October 14, 1962. This was by far the most significant event to happen in the Cold War. The Soviets had been using Cuba as a place to set their missiles from which they would be able to launch a nuclear attack at any time on almost anywhere in the Southeastern parts of the United States, this including places like Washington D.C., New York City, New Orleans, and other major cities in the United States. Photographers were able to capture pictures of these missiles with high-altitude U-2 spy planes giving evidence that the missiles were 90 miles off the American costal line. Although it seems as if the Cuban Missile Crisis happened at a blinding pace, this crisis actually was a culmination of a much longer process. In this essay I will be focusing on the events that led up to the terrifying 14 day event of the Cuban Missile Crisis as well as looking at the crisis from an individual level of analysis and from a realist point of view. In order to fully understand the Cuban Missile Crisis, we must first take a look at all of the events that had lead up to the crisis. Among many of the factors leading up to the nuclear standoff between the countries, one of the factors, of course, was the genuine concern of defense of each leader, John...

...that I would describe as the most charismatic would most definitely be our President, Barack Obama. The man walks with a poise and exudes a confidence worth of a king. He is down to earth and has a kind spirit that draws people to him. During speeches and televised events, he speaks with authority as he effortlessly and precisely presents his plan for our country. His earnest demeanor when he meets with those of us whom are regular people. He sings, he laughs and jokes. He is emphatic in his endeavors to prove his capability in running our country. I find him to be a very refreshing presence in a very troubled economy.\ The changes in the individuality of white collar employees' working conditions have changed largely due to the increase in the use of technology. The change from basic word processing programs to that of intricately designed computer systems are a large factor in this development. Where white collar once looked down on the seemingly simplistic occupations of blue collar workers, that simplicity is now a little envied by those white collar workers whose jobs have become a slightly more difficult ironically by technology that was created to make their jobs easier. White-collar workers are less likely to join a union because: 1. Perception of manual workers- white-collar workers feels the work performed by blue-collar workers are looked down upon and not seen as prestigious or important. 2. The sense of superiority felt by white collar workers over their...

...Jordan Beard Mrs. Laney English III 10 April 2014 “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” Research Paper Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” is considered to be one of his most powerful and effective speeches, considering that it gave not only the black community of Memphis, TN, but all supporters of the nation, the courage to continue a long journey for freedom. His figure as a speaker and a leader had a positive impacting effect on the nation as a whole. On February 1, 1968, during a heavy rainstorm in Memphis, two black sanitation workers, Echol Cole and Robert Walker, were crushed to death by a faulty garbage truck compactor to stay out of the rain (“Martin Luther King Jr”). The City of Memphis, under Mayor Henry Loeb, in order to preserve money in the economy, had continued to use this old and outdated machinery in the Public Works Department when it should have been discarded (Honey). “The city paid most of its 1,300 sanitation workers a minimum wage of one dollar and sixty cents per hour; they worked until their routes were done, often putting in sixty hours a week at forty hours of pay” (Honey). The wages of these workers were so low that they were forced to live on welfare as well as food stamps to simply live day to day and feed their families (“Sanitation Workers Strike”). The city provided unskilled black workers with no job benefits, no access to supervisory jobs, no rights or respect and minimal health coverage. The families of both...

...The basic differences in principles between US and EU in competition policy For the topic of my essay I have chosen the differences between the US and the EU in the competition policy. First of all I would like to start my paper with the explanation of competition policy: what is it about, why is it necessary, why is it good for us. So what is competition policy? It should guarantee an equal competition between the companies on the market, based on their products and prices and none of them should have any unfair advantage as against the others. Under competition businesses have to offer the best quality products and at the best possible price to gain profit otherwise consumers can and will choose another company. There is a big pressure on the businesses and they often try to make their position safer with the bypassing of rules. With competition policy they try to avoid this anti-competitive behavior and to ensure perfect competition. The instruments which are used to avoid competition: -agreements between companies that restrict competition (for example cartels) -misuse of a dominant position (squeezing competitors out of market) -mergers -liberalisation of state-run monopolies -financial support for companies. These are the most important ones that the authority has to pay attention to. Why is it necessary and good? From the business side it is positive because they are motivated to be more efficient and more enterprising. From a consumer point of view we...

...Thomas Whittemore Unit 3 Post University 1. How can Unions secure economic gains? Explain the ramifications Unions help economic growth, and they do not hinder them. Unions are out fighting for workers and getting them high pay and better pension benefits. This all translates into money that can be spent into a market economy. The more people buy products, the stronger and more powerful the economy becomes for everybody. To clarify - real unions are as important just as police, teachers, doctors etc. are necessary. Unfortunately in the US very few or none exist. Working men and woman who have fought and sacrificed for this country are the ones that have purchased true freedom and deserve to have voice 2. Briefly explain why organized labor was opposed to NAFTA. There has been significant opposition to NAFTA from organized labor. Unionists say NAFTA harms workers both here and in Mexico by taking U.S. jobs away and intensifying the exploitation of Mexican workers. Nearly half a million Mexicans already work in "maquiladoras" where over 1,500 mostly U.S.-owned assembly plants operate free of taxes and tariffs. Only about 10 percent are organized, compared to 25 percent of Mexican workers overall. Average pay runs from 50 cents to a dollar an hour. NAFTA will only intensify this exploitation as it lures corporations to set up runaway shops. Yet much of the opposition to NAFTA has been drawn on narrow lines and lets the capitalist system off the hook...
