...Assignment 3 – Why is this Important? Abeer Hasan 201105608 German 2901 John J. Webber February 20th, 2013 The true importance of researching and professing information correlated to German women and feminism in the twentieth century may not be apparent to some. However, the study of women’s history, in particular during the time of the twentieth century in Germany, is especially prevalent with regards to the advancements of women’s rights all across the world. Within the realms of present day, women who seek to question the inequalities experienced in their own lives turn to history to understand the roots of their oppression and to become aware of the advancements which have occurred before their life time. The research of women’s rights, especially those of the German woman, help to inspire and motivate individuals to further overcome the disadvantages still presently faced by women in various nations. The suffrage of women in Germany and their feminist movements are especially enlightening to people of our present era, just as they were for women in other nations during the twentieth century. For centuries, a woman’s role in German society was summed up by the three “K” words: Kinder (children), kirche (church), and küche (kitchen). Throughout the twentieth century, however, women had gradually advanced with regards to attaining equal rights. In 1919, they received the right to vote, and were made a prominent attribute to the work force with the start of World...

...wrote out screenplays. For example, "he only used No. 2 lead pencils, making his tiny print almost impossible to read" (Pollock 143). On the set, Lucas was a mastermind and a compulsive creator of visual imagery. Off the set, he was a creative coordinator. He spent countless hours developing the plot, story line, and dialogues of his movies. He then spent what time he had left pitching those scripts and ideas, and developing new ones. George wrote in a letter to his wife during the filming of Star Wars, "I forget how impossible making movies really is, I get so depressed, but I guess I'll get through it somehow..."(Pollock 168). If a person lives largely in a duality of something (having a passion for it, and then occasionally hating it), why would they continue with that line of work? Simple, Lucas had a vision he alone wanted to get across. "Ideally, George would like to come up with an idea for a film,...

...RESEARCH PAPER OUTLINE Goal: Sibling Rivalry, Does it always happen? Is it a healthy part of development? What is normal? Topic: Sibling rivalry INTRO: Thesis From the moment a new baby enters the home, many changes occur. New rooms are made, safety precautions are taken, and parents attention and time are needed. When a new baby is taken into a home where an older child lives, the older sibling may become jealous of the new baby and the changes that are taking place. The time and attention of parents that was previously devoted to the older sibling is now halved and the older sibling may feel he or she needs to get that attention back. From these feeling, sibling rivalry is rooted. Depending on the severity and longevity of the rivalry between siblings, sibling rivalry could have long term psychological effects. Sibling rivalry is the competition that occurs between siblings for love or recognition from parents. Sibling rivalry can be brought on by many factors, typically influenced by the parents, and may diminish over time but typically is strong throughout the two siblings lives. Sibling rivalry can affect many of the surroundings of those siblings including choosing a partner, home, and even a job. Although some situations of sibling rivalry can have a negative affect towards sibling, there are also many positive features that come along when dealing with sibling rivalry ______________________________________________________________________ _______________...

...I am interested in the study of stereotypes and why people act without thinking. My study is going to be among the ranks of the soldiers and officers that I work with. I feel the best way to experiment when it comes to this topic would be through surveys and observational studies due to the fact that the best way to get to know what people are thinking is by their immediate answer and their reaction to certain situations. Many times with this type of research it is biased due to the group, race, age or genders of the group that you surveyed. It is difficult to get a straight answer without those persons own personal biased opinion. This is a main cause of stereotyping. Not many people can sit and say that they do not have some sort of biased opinion this way or the other due to the fact that, that is the way they were born and raised or that is a personal opinion that they have built on that situation. I am going to give the survey to the higher enlisted that I work with as in officers ncos and warrant officers. They stereotype I am targeting is that junior enlisted are “lazy and don’t do much work” once I get their opinions and answers I am going to as the question of which group of people do you feel work the hardest and the least hard. That is going to be a question asked by all due to the fact that many people think they work harder than others. One thing I can for see going wrong is that no one will take me seriously due to the fact that I am close to the people that...

...consistent in the content that it provides or excludes. For example, Harmonizing file names of a set of images is a valid rationale for renaming file. (To a lesser degree, this applies to article titles as well, although article naming is more complex.) Trouble arises when legitimate comparisons are disregarded without thought or consideration of the Wikipedia:Five pillars. Contents [hide] 1 Deletion of articles 2 Creation of articles 3 Inherent notability 4 Precedent in usage 5 See also Deletion of articles[edit] The claim of "Other Stuff Exists" most often arises in article deletion debate, where it is often used in a poor manner. Examples: Keep There's an article on x, and this is just as famous as that. –LetsKeepIt! 04:04, 4 April 2004 (UTC) Delete We do not have an article on y, so we should not have an article on this. –GetRidOfIt! 04:04, 4 April 2004 (UTC) The nature of Wikipedia means that you cannot make a convincing argument based solely on what other articles do or do not exist, because there is nothing stopping anyone from creating any article (except for a salting, which is only performed in dire cases). While these comparisons are not a conclusive test, they may form part of a cogent argument; an entire comment should not be dismissed because it includes a comparative statement like this. Plenty of articles exist that probably should not. Equally, a lot of articles do not exist that probably should. Therefore,...

...Why Born This Way ‘I look nothing like her, nothing’. This was said by a ten-year-old Asian American boy and “her” referred his mother. This young boy’s name is Ken Liu. Now he is a famous science-fiction writer, who won both 2012 Hugo Award and 2011 Nebula Award for Best Short Story. When he was young, he was puzzled by a words-----“chink face”. Because of his face, he had to take a lot of unfair judgments from others and mocks from his peers. Therefore, Ken hated his mother who was born in China and married with his American father through an introduction service in China (his father “had picked his mom out of a catalog”). There were also problems behind the face itself. Ken’s mother could not speak English, which made Ken do not even want to talk with her. However, after his mother tried a lot to learn how to speak English, Ken did not want to talk with her neither because his mother’s “accent and broken sentences embarrassed him”. Then for many years, he almost never talked to his mother again. Many second-generation immigrants have the same experience with Ken Liu due to their special culture background. There are so much unavoidable conflict between the second-generation immigrants and their parents. Parents and teenagers in the immigrant families have different goals and concerns in their lives in United States. Dr. Vappu Tyyskä, a Associate Professor at Ryerson UniversityFirst doing many research about intergenerational relations, named these two group of people as...

...ABSENCE OF TEAMWORK CASE STUDY Questions 1. Based on the way this team organized their work on the Finance project, what type of task interdependence (p. 381) did the team choose? Would a different form of task interdependence been more effective? They used pooled interdependence method whereas, every member does their own assigned part. A more effective task interdependence would be reciprocal. Reason being the team would have been assigned a part that he/she specialized in that way you would get a good response and work ethic out of them. 2. Was there a high degree of goal interdependence (p. 384) on the team? What could the team have done to increase goal interdependence? No there wasn’t because everybody didn’t do what was assigned to them. This team could have be more serious about this project and made it a top priority in their “to do” list. Some member didn’t show up to the meeting to complete the project. The quality of the project could have been more effective if the team would have treated it like something important. 3. Teamwork processes (p. 420) are important in helping teams be effective. Evaluate the team on all three types of teamwork processes, transition, action and interpersonal. In transition processes, the team did poorly in because they didn’t plan the process that they were going to face. I would have to say that they did bad in action processes to because no one didn’t keep up with the progress of each other and their position on...

...Inc. 1. What parts of the supply chain are most closely involved with the situation in this case? What is the responsibility of each part in order to maintain a smooth flow of material? Procurement and Contracts: Should be responsible to amend the agreement that clearly defines what the service level requirements are, sets out the change control mechanism, the communication protocol and representative of both parties and review the agreement in conjunction with the supplier to remove any ambiguity. Category Management: Should be responsible for developing a SQM that will allow provide both parties with a forum to work in partnership and set targets and KPIs. Material Management: Should be responsible to understand the required and forecast inventory stocks and coordinate accordingly. Logistics: Should be responsible for transporting the product through the supply chain. 2. What initially appears to be the problem? What really is the problem(s) in this case? The problem initially appears to be that the vendor is not meeting the expected performance level required by the customer. However the problem is not with the vendor rather within Avion. It appears that the company does not have appropriate cross function engagement, rather working in silos. There is no obvious communication structure whereby the SCM understands the scope requirements and can translate this to the vendor. Also following contract award it is not clear what effort, if any, was placed...

...“Creating Lean Suppliers” a Consider that the new corporate procurement strategy in support of your manufacturing business includes securing purchased critical parts and subassemblies from “lean” practicing suppliers. Your supply chain management in previous years has practiced the strategy of single sourcing as well as long-term partnering for critical purchased material. Prepare a list of bullets showing the advantages and disadvantages of staying with current suppliers (i.e. not switching) that currently do not have a “lean” in place and also define in the response your plan to achieve the new “lean” supplier requirement. I Advantage: * Better relationship – further involved in new production process * Better reputation (ethics) * Knowing the supplier better – its problems, cost-structure, and technology * Supplier may be more responsive * Creating “trust” II Disadvantage: * Cost of the BP team * Require extensive capital investment or extra personnel for suppliers * Time consuming (for the suppler to be lean) * Difficulty to change and sustain In order to achieve the new “lean” supplier requirement, I would want suppliers that have substantial responsibility during product development; the ability to accommodate and respond to the request of changes in product or manufacturing process; extensive capital investment or extra human resources. Also the suppliers that is reliable, and “self-reliant.” b Analyze Honda’s...

...Six Sigma, Lean, and Kaizen J. Paul Seiberlich Siena Heights University Prof. Anderson February 5, 2015 Kaizen and Six Sigma are associated with the Quality Model for achieving success in business. The term Kaizen has many different uses ranging from referring to a principle of personal conduct to a company wide strategy for achieving business success (Imai, 1986). In the United States, one of its most common uses is as the name of a lean enterprise tool for improving work processes. In this use, it refers to a systematic and specialized application of problem solving to uncover and extract waste from a work process. Kaizen as a company wide strategy for achieving business success is derived from the writings of W. Edwards Deming although the completeness of that connection seems to be unrecognized. It abstracts from Deming’s work the ideas that improvements must benefit customers; that they must occur every day, everywhere, and be implemented by everyone; that management must lead the implementation and that managers must be models and agents of its adoption; and that management and non-management employees must operate cooperatively. (Vitalo, R. 2013) The term “Kaizen” has two uses. One use refers to the principle of continuous improvement and describes a fundamental element in the Quality Model and in Lean thinking. The second use refers to methods that either suggest (e.g., Teian Kaizen) or generate and implement improvement ideas. Of the methods...

...Part 1 : “That’s it! That’s the sixth time you defended your girlfriend in public. You can’t continue to do that. Your fans will get disappointed in you. I can’t tolerate this behavior you have. I’m letting you date but you are leaving such a big mess for me to fix? Is that how you thank me?” Yang Hyun Suk shouted at Seungri as he threw the magazine on the desk. You’ve been dating Seungri for two years now, during these two years many fan girls got jealous and attacked you, Seungri was present when it happened and he defended you. Even went to taunt them to stop in order to protect you. He was always acting cute when you were dating and all but when you were hurt, he saved you immediately and showed a rather scary side of him. This time, a few fan girls tried to push you off a river whilst Seungri went to buy you two something to drink. Luckily Seungri came back in time to grab your hand but instead, both of you fell into the river. The river was deep and you weren’t a confident swimmer, he managed to get you back onto land. The fan girls that pushed you were still there and now they were accusing you for getting their dear idol all wet. “SHUT UP! What are you guys thinking? HOW CAN YOU PUSH A WEAK GIRL INTO THE RIVER? AND ACCUSING HER FOR GETTING ME ALL WET? IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT! I DON’T NEED FANS LIKE YOU! GET OUT OF MY LIFE” Seungri yelled at the fan girls. Snap Snap! People around took photos and videos of the whole process and now it’s all on the headlines: Seungri shouts...

...The dreadful “Why this school?” essay. While I could sit here and draft a well-detailed essay on UChicago’s education and reputation, I feel propelled to talk about the unique factors that UChicago possesses that makes it a perfect school for me. Contrary to many prospective students, I am not attracted to UChicago solely based on its proximity to Chicago or incredible academic reputation. I am attracted to Uchicago because of the sense of home I experienced when I first stepped onto the campus. It felt as if I had finally found that piece that I was missing my whole life. I could easily picture myself being a part of the UChicago community. I saw myself entering John Crerar Library and interacting with students of multiple majors and cultures thanks to the core curriculum that bonded us. I saw myself creating a new family. I knew that University of Chicago would become the doors to my academic success when I sat to observe a physics class. I was automatically drawn by the way the professor taught his material. Through the use of real world applications, the professor was able to maintain his class engaged the whole time. This form of teaching was brand new to...

...Cathy Ann Clayton Eng050:W01. 28 April 2015 Why I Deserve this Scholarship Hello my name is Cathy Ann Clayton, and it is an honor to be selected by the University to apply for this scholarship. Eight years ago I would have never imagined that I would be continuing my college education. Due to a health crisis I went through, which we were not sure that I would make it. I came through with a lot of determination, and hard work. Although I am not a traditional college student, I should be accepted as a student and given the offered scholarship because I am a worthwhile choice: I have overcome obstacles, I can bring a new perspective, and I can demonstrate my financial need for the scholarship As you know, I’m not your typical college age student. I am a 54 year old finishing my education, after overcoming a huge obstacle several years ago. It’s taken long time and a few boulders to climb over to get to this point. Eight years ago I had a nervous breakdown due to the loss of my father. This loss affected me tremendously, and I spiraled into a place no one should go. I have worked with a Psychologist to get through the dark place that I was in, which took many years. Two years ago my Therapist introduced me to a treatment, call Dialectic Behavior Therapy. Dr. Marsha Linehan created this therapy to help people think and respond to life differently.” DBT therapy is a broad-based cognitive-behavioral treatment developed specifically for Borderline Personality...
