...treasure: life, liberty, and freedom. This treasure was and still is the American Dream. Now people from all over the world come to America in search of the same Dream; some even die trying. People were not as materialistic as people are now; they just wanted happiness. As time passed, people became more materialistic and began to take for granted what they were born with. However, the “American Dream” hardly ever turns out like any individuals have anticipated. America is often considered as the “best country” in the world, but behind this façade, many people struggle daily to earn enough money to survive. America has had its times of despair and advances but through it all we have learned new ways, cultures, and overall advancements in life. Throughout the American Ways book we were given to read and analyze, there were many things about American life that not only related to now but also showed us lessons learned and conflicts repeated through time. To myself and maybe others, the pieces presented to me in class had the ability to bring me into another world. In each piece, I was almost warped to a different time of America and had the ability to see many things. One thing I would like to compare is not...

...The Toyota Way I have learned about “the Toyota Way”, which leads Toyota to success. “The Toyota way” is the core value and culture of Toyota. I learned a lot from “the Toyota way”. The following are 5 basic principles of “the Toyota Way”: First, challenge. Challenge means that a corporation should always challenge itself in terms of challenging the process. A company should not say that we are doing very well and we need not make any improvements. Unless a company always challenges the process, it cannot have constant competitive. Secondly, improvement An organization should keep improving itself. As the CEO of Toyota said, there is no perfect car; we are improving our cars base on customer’s needs. We should never think we are the best; we should keep identifying where we can still work on and improve. Consistent improvement is one of the traits of a great company. Thirdly, go and see All managers and employees should walk around to observe and find problems. This is basically a concept of managing by walking around, however, Toyota requires that all the employees have the ability to identify the potential problems. This ability needs a lot of experiences and knowledge. Fourthly, respect We should respect our employees and customers, as well as partners. We respect others and then they are going to respect us. Then we can a very good relationship with employees, customers and partners, which are very good for us. Fifthly, teamwork Teamwork is very important...

...The family and history of Toyota Way Sakichi Toyoda was born in 1867 and died in 1930. During his life, the inventor developed several devices but the greatest invention was the Toyoda Power Loom. The powered loomed was developed in 1896 equipped with the new weft-breaking automatic stopping device. In 1924, he developed the world’s first automatic loom with a non-stop shuttle-change motion called the Type-G Toyoda Automatic Loom. After the automatic loom, Sakichi rooted the Toyota Production System (TPS), which is the philosophy of "the complete elimination of all waste" fills all aspects of production in pursuit of the most efficient methods. Kiichiro Toyoda, inherited the philosophy of TPS from Sakichi. The Just-in-Time concept was developed by Kiichiro Toyoda, the founder (and second president) of Toyota Motor Corporation. "Just-in-Time" means making "only what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed." Supplying "what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed" according to this production plan can eliminate waste, inconsistencies, and unreasonable requirements, resulting in improved productivity. After years of trial and error with the Just-in-Time concept, he improved the TPS efficiency. For the Just-in-Time system to function, all of the parts that are made and supplied must meet predetermined quality standards called the jidoka process. Jidoka means that a machine safely stops when the normal processing is completed. If quality or equipment...

...1. How do you feel, as a potential or actual giver to United Way campaigns, about the “high living” of Aramony? Would these allegations affect your gift giving? Why or Why not? William Aramony, president of United Way who built United Way of America into one of the nation’s premier charities. The United Way has been an umbrella charity that was created as a fundraising organization to support many smaller charities. It has been supported by many business firms by fundraising drives and payroll deductions. He had headed the organization, and under his tenure, the organization grew rapidly, nearly quadrupling donations between 1970 and 1990. On the other hand, he was milking out the organization’s fund for his personal benefits such as significant limousine expenses, high salary and uncontrolled perks, international airfare for himself and guests, personal gifts and luxury items, travelling on the charity's dime for personal reasons, affair with young Florida women, loans and diversions of funds to companies that are owned by family members, a $4 million "golden parachute” etc. When an internal investigation and news reports disclosed his lavish life style, as a potential or actual giver to United Way campaigns, I felt terrible knowing all these fact where my contribution had been misused for his lavish lifestyle. I saw a clear sense of white-collar crime under the opportunity fraud triangle. Charitable organizations depend on contributions that people give freely out of a...

...The center of the Milky Way is a fascinating region, not solely because of its enigmatic characteristics but also because of its complexities. The center of the Milky Way, initially, was described as a “mini-spiral” of hot gas, however as years passed, scientists have realized that this mysterious center was not a spiral, but a distinct, separate point of radio emission corresponding to the exact center of the Galaxy. This point is referred to as “Sagittarius A* or ‘Sgr A*’” and today, Sgr A* is believed to consist of a black hole about 3 times larger than the Sun and has a mass of 2 million times that of the sun.Interestingly, the intensity of x-rays being emitted from this massive hole was much less than expected. Scientists then realized...

...Ways of Seeing by John Berger On Tuesday, June 5th 2012, I went to the Museum of Fine Arts. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet even though there were a lot of students from a high school. If you decide to go to a museum you have a special attitude. First of all it is your choice to go there. The museum will not come to you. I spent quite some time walking around to find a picture that was “speaking” to me. Then I came across the “Behind the Scenes: Caring for working of art” room. It is an electrical room with a touch screen under the picture. The screen explains a lot of the different things about the history and background of the painting (picture 1). The painting was of Mrs. Timothy Rogers (Lucy Boylston). I was intrigued by the historical background of the Boylston Family and the timeline (1766 – 1767) during which John Singleton Copley painted six portraits of the Boylston family. It reminded me of a line in John Berger’s essay: “They are declared art when their line of descent can be certified” (150). I wonder how many wonderful and beautiful paintings were just thrown away because they were not of someone important, rich, or famous. There was also information about the cleaning of the painting. I was able to see the difference in the 1921 unclean portrait and the 1950 clean portrait. First, I just saw a nice painting of a woman, but now I can see and appreciate the portrait of Mrs. Timothy Rogers. “The meaning of an image is changed according to what one sees...

...My Way by Paul Anka 1969; A Song Lyrics Analysis * Lyrics My Way by Paul Anka 1969 And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way". For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way! * Theme The lyrics of "My Way" tell the story of a man who, having grown old, reflects on his life as death approaches. He is comfortable with his mortality and takes responsibility for how he dealt with all the challenges of life while...

...The “Respect for People” principle is one of the two pillars of The Toyota Way; the other being “Continuous Improvement.” Toyota claims that respect for people is the foundation for continuous improvement. Many managers seem to think they know what this “Respect for People” principle implies, and they believe that they follow it. The reality is that most do not understand this concept outside of the Toyota management system. Toyota states, “Respect for people is the attitude that regards people’s ability to think most.” Most managers have a poor idea of what it actually means to demonstrate “Respect for People.” Many would claim that showing respect for people would include things such as treating employees fairly, giving them clear goals, trusting them to achieve goals set, and listening to employees. Managers believe respect is easy to understand and apply these misguided ideas. This is a huge part of lean that has been missing. “Respect for People” is an aspect of excellence at Toyota that needs to be understood and implemented. It is a mindset that can be difficult to understand without experiencing day to day. This is why it was looked over for so long, with instead the focus being on the surface of the Toyota way. Emphasis is put on the high importance of workers capabilities to begin to describe what it means to truly demonstrate “Respect for People. The workers are allowed to display their capabilities through active participation in running and improving...

...Essay Topic One: Explain some of the criticisms of neo liberalism and economic rationalism. How is the third way seen as an advance on neo liberalism and what do critics make of the third way? Neo liberalism and the Third Way Neo liberalism and economic rationalism, synonymous with globalisation, gained prominence during the 1990s as a political ideology that espoused free markets as a method of not only handling affairs of nations, but also as political ideology that can be applied with all sorts of governance issues (Hartman 2005, pp.57-59). The idea was that “market forces would motivate workers and produce a vibrant economy” and that “government interference” through “high taxation and investment in the public sector services, lessened individual freedom and hindered a nations economic progress” (Rees 1994, p.172). Emphasis was placed on costs to the government being shifted back to private individuals and markets (Hartman 2005, p. 59). This would create a situation where markets would flourish with increased competition and reducing the tax burden (Hartman 2005, p.59). This came at the cost of the social state (Rees 1994, pg.171) as countries sought to create “market friendly, liberalized, lean, decentralised, customer orientated, managerial and democratic state[s],” (Bangura 2000, p.17). In Australia the conversion of public services into market commodities and increased privatisation of public provisions (Jimrozik 2005, p.42) found a scapegoat in the welfare state (Rees...

...The threat America’s way of life is a quite questionable context to define. What I see here is a Catch 22, where we either allow immigrants and that changes America, or we don’t allow immigrants and that changes America. As John Isbister said, “The essence of American life is that it is composed of different groups, different cultures, races, religions, attitudes, folkways and ideologies, differences that give the country its distinctiveness. Current im-migration is sure to change the mixture, but change is not new; the cultural mixture of America has been changing continuously.” There is no auto defined definition to the American way of life, it is always changing whether we want it to or not. As Charon mentions, “Change occurs in every social organization, and it is ongoing and inevitable”. However, I do see this threat to be almost negligible, our biggest problem is within the racial conflictions of society adapting to a change. America has always been seen as a melting pot of cultures; however the melting pot concept is too vague to define. A melting pot means the society confirms to a new identity, however this is not such the case. The traditions are all varying and different outlooks still; we are not some culture defined as a mix of one pot, but rather a mix of many other pots. This correlates to Charon’s idea of the individual making a difference, “Attempts to influence society are countered by the power of long-standing social patterns that are normally defended by...

For example, I1 shows that 400 cars per hour enter from the top and that 450 cars per hour enter from the left. See the Applications section in Section 6.2 of College Algebra as a reference. For this assignment, use Figure 1 to answer the questions following the figure and to prepare a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation. [pic] Figure 1. The intersections of five one-way streets The letters a, b, c, d, e, f, and g represent the number of cars moving between the intersections. To keep the traffic moving smoothly, the number of cars entering the intersection per hour must equal the number of cars leaving per hour. 1. Describe the situation. • In this traffic model the pictures illustrates that as cars go out in one direction there is a number of cars coming that are equivalent to the total number of cars going out. The traffic flows through B, C and d will remain a constant, and traffic that flows through the other intersection will change. 2. Create a system of linear equations using a, b, c, d, e, f, and g that models continually flowing traffic. 3. Solve the system of equations. Variables f and g should turn out to be independent. 4. Answer the following questions: a. List acceptable traffic flows for two different values of the independent...

...10 ways IT wastes money on development Date: June 29th, 2009 Author: Justin James To deliver value, IT departments must keep a tight rein on how they use their budget - and that includes development efforts. Justin James cites some of the most common areas where IT throws its development bucks down the drain. Many IT departments walk a fine line between being a needed cost center, a necessary evil, and an absolute money pit. In a few rare occasions, they’re able to deliver enough value to become profit centers. One of the key factors in determining whether an IT department is delivering ROI has to do with the development efforts occurring within that department. Here are 10 of the most common ways IT departments waste money on development. 1: Communication problems Communication issues are one of the biggest causes of project failure. These issues are magnified with internal projects. Just because the “customer” works in the same building and has their paychecks signed by the same person as you doesn’t mean there won’t be communication problems. In fact, internally facing projects are often worse than projects for paying customers because internal customers don’t have to adhere to a contract, and no tangible value is placed upon the work. In these situations, there is little incentive for the customers to work well with you, and if communication breaks down, they complain about how “IT is stonewalling us.” The result is wasted time and money due to things being delivered...

...A Long Way Gone Essay Matthew Morgan Prof. Carey “On Democracy” Due: 02/27/08 For the “Everybody Reads” assignment I choose to attend the Central library book group discussion. When I first got there I was really surprised because I thought it was going to be a bigger event than what it was. There was only about 10 people total, and 5 of us were students who were there for this exact assignment. It was a really interesting discussion because half of the people that attended were my age and the other half was about two generations older, so there was a very diverse pool of perspectives and opinions. But because there was a large generation gap it was a bit more difficult for me to share my views, so I mainly listened and observed other people’s thoughts. The discussion itself was very helpful because of the different views people had about the memoir. One of the themes of A Long Way Gone that we discussed was the importance of hope. We mainly talked about how this theme was not constant throughout the memoir and that it changed with time. For example one person brought up how at first Ishmael’s only motivator was the hope of his parents being alive, then when he realized that he would never be reunited with them he had lost his hope. It was only when he remembered what his father had said about a person only lives if they have something to live for which gave him his hope back. As far as themes that’s really the only one that we discussed, but we did discuss a lot...
