...You have probably been to a zoo before, but there are some things you may not know. This includes, animals being held captive, habitat change, and lack of food. In my opinion animals in zoos are not being treated properly. Animals should have the same amount of freedom as us, but instead they are being locked up in zoos their whole life. This has been going on since 1847 and has affected many animals lives in a negative way. Lets help change the future! Animals have been held captive since zoos have opened. APECSEC.org has informed me that this can cause high stress level of the animal. Another thing I have learned is when the animal is feeling trapped can cause aggression that is above normal. I have also learned from Zoos pro or con that animals should have the same right to be free as us and that we never realize that we are trapping animals for our entertainment. We are getting entertained while the animals are most likely bored in those small cages. Some people even believe that animals are being abused by zoos....

...Many zoos kill healthy animals on an average of 20 to 30 times a year. An animal's life shouldn't be based on human actions, whether it's a zoo causing the animals to inbreed and have gene mutations, or the zoo not having enough room for the animal to live. Animals have a place in the world and they should have rights just as human beings do. Although some say that killing animals in zoos helps maintain the circle of life and prevents inbreeding, it is unethical for zoos to kill animals because they should have their own rights, and humans should not interfere with the circle of life. Zoos are killing animals to save space in their enclosures, but also to prevent inbreeding. When animal that is born an animal dies, its the circle of life,...

...Appraising Employees Reaction- I am a little surprised by this case study. I would think that if a manager did not do an appraisal that the employee would of said something . I know that if I did not get an appraisal for a year I would say something. I work in a school district and if someone does not get an appraisal everyone knows. Human Resource sends dozens of emails about the evaluation being due, and Payroll calls the managers. A employees pay depends on the appraisal and everyone from the top manager to the employee watch to make sure it is done. Learning- The one item that I learned form this case was that there was no consequences if a supervisor fails to do his job and fulfill the review requirements.. Working in law enforcement I have never seen this happened, and in fact they are very tough on the requirements. I have seen a supervisor get written up for not doing his reviews. My department use to do a paper and pen system, and the director was on top of it. If the employee or supervisor did not full out the review they were called and disciplined for it. The review process was even in the Human Resource job description. Result- What I have taken away from this case study is the employee needs to follow up just as much as the employer. Even though one year your supervisor might of done the review one year, he may not of done it the following year. You need to be responsible and follow up an ensure the review is done. In the end its your job...

...Zoological Society of San Diego, a nonprofit organization that operates the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park, and San Diego Zoo’s Institute for Conservation Research has more than 3,000 persons employs. Tim Mulligan, the society’s new HR director, feels that organization and its managers should some goals for themselves and their workers so that persons can be paid based upon those goals. He wanted the zoo to have more structure and managers filling and completing more appraisals forms than usual. He wanted to implement a system where persons understand and are able to complete the organization’s goals. Furthermore, after the society adopted the “Halogen Software’s eAppraisal System” they immediately saw results. More of the appraisals were completed and employees are more motivated than they were before. A performance appraisal is considered an evaluation that is recorded of an employee’s overall actions over a period of time. In other words, it is a report that a manager/supervisor should complete on how well employees fulfill their duties throughout the year. Furthermore, Non-profits need appraisal system as much as for profit organizations because it serves a vital pivotal role in the motivation of the employees. Additionally, even though non-profit organizations goals are not to maximize their profits, they still have goals to meet in order for them keep their customers and animals satisfied. Furthermore, organizations like the San Diego Zoological...

...from embryos form using in vitro fertilization. Somatic, or adult, stem cells are obtained from bone marrow, the heart, brain, and other parts of the adult body, but are very small in quantity, which makes them more difficult to obtain (‘Stem Cell Information”, 2009). Some say that stem cell research should not be carried out because of what their religion tells them. In my opinion, that is not valid enough of a reason to prevent the research from happening, because this is a field that has so much more to learn about, and could lead to very big medical breakthroughs. Others say, aside Thomas 2 from their religious beliefs, that it is just cruel to create these embryos in labs to use for medicine. While this does seem unethical, the pros outweigh...

...network or its anti-aging project Calico, or its self-driving carare each contained in separate companies. They will all be part of a giant umbrella group called Alphabet Pros: Google would be run by Sundar Pichai who is one key players in the development of both the Google toolbar and Chrome, two crucial components of the company’s growth. Pichai also oversaw the development of Google apps including Gmail. Google will be run autonomously, with each being able to focus on its own particular business. This would mark a massive shift from the current setup, with Google in charge of a number of diverse companies, some of which are wildly divergent from Google’s core business. Page claims that the move will allow for cleaner operations and more accountability; some experts theorize that the restructuring is an attempt to mollify investors annoyed by Google’s increasingly wild investments. The reshuffle provides the company a bit of insulation from regulatory issues, in the EU. Google itself is still a massive beast, which will have to tread carefully around regulators, but it will be easier to present firms such as Nest, Calico and Fiber as separate entities if they are only united by a common owner. And, if the worst happens for Google, it would be easier to hive off the subsidiaries entirely. Cons: Google would lose its leader and founder Larry page to Alphabet The new landscape might be a bit confusing at first, so those interested in following Google’s business...

...of Country Every unique human-living person has its own dreams and perspectives of life. Someone prefers to live in the urban areas with tall buildings, lots of people and a flow of bustle in the streets. Others have a distinct preference for the suburban life; being in the wild nature with a small society. These differences between the species of lifestyles can be sizeable but you cannot say which one is the best. Every lifestyle has its own pros and cons. In “My Little Bit of Country”, 2012 by Susan Cheever, Cheever prefers to live in New York – Central Park is her favorite place to be. In Central Park she feels safe. Cheever is the narrator but also the main character in the essay. We have a first person narrator, but it is a subjective essay, since it is a summary of Cheever’s life and we only hear about what she longs for. The essay is chronological, because Cheever starts telling about her first memories of life – she is in Central Park with her father in the summer mornings and sometimes they visit the Central Park Zoo. Then she keeps on going telling about why she loves the city but that she is the only one, because her family rather to have a place in the countryside. She grows up in Westchester but as often as possible, she visits the Central Park. At the time when she gets her own children she “vowed to let them grew up in the city and never, ever transplant them to the country.” Her desire is to live in New York near the Central Park and she wants to let her...

...introduce the story “My Little Bit of Country”. The Authors name is Susan Cheever, she was an American writer who was born in 1943, who wrote the essay. She is the daughter of the famous novelist and short story writer John Cheever. The essay is from the selection called “Central Park”, which was released in 2012. The writer has written as a first person narrator through out the text. We met our main character Susan Cheever when she was very young. Her father has just returned home from the WW2. We are told by Susan that her family’s almost commonplace visits to Central Park Zoo and Central Park. Susan’s father started writing and because of the big success he had and the fact that they as parents wanted one more child, the family moved to the one of the suburbs of New York City. Susan was not very enamored of it, she loved to be in the enormous city, to skate on the ice rink and to visit the yak in Central Park Zoo. After they had moved, she eventually moved back the New York City and became an adult who raised her own kids, in the way that she wanted to be raised. In this analysis, we will focus on the writer’s use of contrast. We will also analyze the central- themes, which are explored in the text, and we will in the end put some comments on the title of the essay. In this paragraph, we will comment on the title. “My Little Bit of Country” was the title of the essay. The title was inspired by Andy Warhol, who Susan heard saying, that it was better to live in the city than in the...

...In the United States, there are almost 80,000 individuals who work as a veterinarian (Mckay). A veterinarian is an individual who has the ability to provide medical care and to provide treatment to animals. However, this definition is very broad. There are the typical “everyday” vets who can run their own practice and treat animals like dogs and cats. In addition to this kind of vet, there are also professional vets who have work in zoos; these veterinarians have to put up with dangerous situations because they are working with wild animals like lions, tigers, elephants, etc. Third, there are the individuals who work with the large and sometimes small animals who live on farms including horses, cows, donkeys, etc. No matter what area a...

...Resistance to Change Randall K. Ward MGT-426 August 27, 2013 Barbi Brokhoff Resistance to Change This week we will look at resistance to change and what can be done to combat the resistance while still maintaining people’s ideas and individualism. We will also look at how Lewins model of change can be put into practice and used to make changing easier. Also we will look at the two types of resistance, organizational and individual resistance, and what the major causes of that resistance is. I will use Kraft as an example of complete resistance due to lack of commitment from management. When people are asked to change there is resistance, which is a natural reaction because change is uncomfortable and requires new and different types of thinking and operating. Most people would rather stick to the known instead of reaching out and taking a risk with the unknown, even if the known has proven not to work or is detrimental to the health of the organization (Heathfield). In Kraft there is a resistance to change from the management side of the equation, most employees there are all for a change, there just in not a consensus on what change is needed, in most employees eyes it is the management team, or more precisely the plant manager that needs to be changed. It is a normal reaction to be resistant to change; even employees that are cooperative may experience resistance just because that is part of human nature. When implementing change it needs to be communicated in such...

They took on the motto Ars Gratia Artis (Art for Art's Sake) and their trademark lion, "Leo" in 1928 (who had been born in captivity in Dublin Zoo in Ireland). For many years, the MGM Lion was the live-action mascot for MGM, appearing in the opening logo sequence to every movie produced by the studio.
