¶ … pursuing an intellectual interest satisfied my natural passion solving problems; however, it left me strangely unfulfilled for reasons that were not immediately apparent to me. With a team of friends, I developed a cheap MP3 system that enables users to upload and listen to audio books. On an intellectual level, it was a meaningful achievement. However, I eventually realized that although the project provided assistance to some users who otherwise had limited access to information in those convenient formats, there was evidence all around me that suggested the need for much more significant projects.
Specifically, in my home community, I am surrounded by fellow Palestinians who endure day after day without access to enough electricity to support ordinary life needs. The more I thought about the reality of their lives, the more I realized that for my pursuit of solutions to provide genuine fulfillment, it would have to satisfy more than just my natural interest in solving problems. It would to do something more meaningful than just meeting a challenge. Since I already had an intellectual curiosity about renewable energy technology, Renewable Energy World magazine, the obvious answer was to pursue my natural drive to solve problems in a way that channeled the results into the most meaningful and productive results possible.
That was the impetus for my work in the Applied Research Institute in Jerusalem (ARIJ), a non-profit organization dedicated to solving those problems, and it is the value driving me to enhance my community through science. My goal is to solve the problem of developing sustainable energy for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, to assist the Palestinian people's self-reliance through greater control over their natural resources. That objective will serve a sufficiently meaningful need to make the achievement inherently fulfilling independent of the comparatively superficial satisfaction of finding a solution to a problem.
From girlhood," Sula shows a natural gift for daring, Lorie Watkins Fulton writes in African-American Review (Fulton, 2006). Sula in fact persuades Nel to join up with her in order to confront the bullies on Carpenter's Road; and when Sula shows the guts to pull her grandma's paring knife from her pocket and slice a piece of her finger off, the boys star "open-mouthed at the wound" (Morrison 54). If I
Family Break Up For a humane, the word 'community' hints at people trying to work out solutions to common problems. The term 'community' generally stands for a group that is bigger and more diverse than a family or any group of people bound together with relationships. It also has more elements than being of the same neighborhood or enclave, though not as large as a county or a nation. Certainly it
' Indians across the political spectrum, especially the country's powerful nuclear weapons establishment, are critical of the NPT, arguing that it unfairly warps international hierarchies to the disadvantage of the non-nuclear-weapon states" (1998:15). In its efforts to balance the pressures from the international community with its own self-interests in formulating foreign policies, the position adopted by India has been starkly different than other countries. In this regard, Karp concludes that,
Pharmaceutical industries have to operate in an environment that is highly competitive and subject to a wide variety of internal and external constraints. In recent times, there has been an increasing trend to reduce the cost of operation while competing with other companies that manufacture products that treat similar afflictions and ailments. The complexities in drug research and development and regulations have created an industry that is subject to intense
HRM Challenges in Today's Organizations All organizations require employees to make them a success and this function is considered as important as finance, machinery and land for running the organization successfully. The important point to note here is that individuals all have different temperaments and working methods, and some people in the organization are responsible for making them all work together. This is the job of the human resources department which
The shift toward standardized testing has failed to result in a meaningful reduction of high school dropout rates, and students with disabilities continue to be marginalized by the culture of testing in public education (Dynarski et al., 2008). With that said, the needs of students with specific educational challenges are diverse and complex, and the solutions to their needs are not revealed in the results of standardized testing (Crawford &
