Phonemic awareness and phonics are two components of a balanced literacy program in K – 3 classrooms. Phonemic awareness is the understanding that words are made of sounds. Phonics builds on this awareness by teaching the relationships between sounds and letter-symbols. Research supports direct instruction of these components as a precursor to reading success. Commercially-published programs and books, software and apps, and numerous Internet sources can provide teachers with materials needed for a strong program of direct, explicit instruction. Kindergarten programs level attempt to level the playing field, as students begin school at various stages of reading readiness. Phonics builds on early phonemic awareness activities. By the time students are in third grade, they are starting to "read to learn" instead of "learning to read."

Nutritional Assessment is a detailed evaluation of objective as well as subjective data, relating to an individual's food intake, along with giving due consideration to factors such as medical history and lifestyle of the said individual. The purpose of a nutritional assessment is to identify the malnourishment and/or undernourishment in an individual's diet and to eradicate the factors that make it unhealthy and unfit. Once the data relating an individual's eating habits has been collected and organized, it can be used to evaluate the nutritional status of that person. The assessment is followed up by a plan to either intervene or to devise a new proper nutritious diet plan to help the individual attain a healthier status (Carol Rees Parrish, August 2003).

Maslow's hierarchy of needs was first published in 1943 and has become increasingly marginalized given what has been learned since about human behavior. This research report examines recent research into the relevance of this model for predicting human behavior in the workplace and the wider community. Rather than dispensing with Maslow's model altogether, there seems to be sufficient support for elaborating and revising the model. These conclusions are discussed at length.

As a humanist, I believe in free agency so I can't argue that all hospitality managers should have the same philosophy. With my existentialist leanings, I believe in each person creating their own meaning and realities—all the while striving to be authentic in all their relationships. Both of the philosophical platforms that I embrace encourage a strong degree of freedom and personal responsibility. As an industry, hospitality offers a unique perspective of people's lives—separated from their quotidian affairs and concerns. When people travel or seek entertainment outside of their home, they are vulnerable to many elements that under more typical circumstances would not influence them. It does seem that any hospitality manager can contribute positively to the experiences of these people, regardless of their philosophical orientation—or, perhaps, because of it.
