I remember the feeling of brimming excitement as my father and I left the hose that morning. I kept looking out the windows as the familiar streets of our home rapidly gave way to unfamiliar corners and a neighborhood I had never seen before. My father was typically taciturn during the 20 minute drive, but even he could not help breaking out into a smile as we pulled into the gravel parking lot behind the high, chain-link fence. It was career day at his workplace, R.E. Mifflin, and as such, I was allowed to finally accompany my father to his job and see him in action. I had always wanted to know just what exactly my father did with the lengthy light blue sheets of paper with the complex diagrams that he puzzled over at home on occasion, and he had…...

mechanically correct writing skills. This Chamberlain's ideas disseminated within his text "The Importance on Race" are as rigid and as austere as the purity of race he describes in benign terms. One of the more interesting points about this work is that in many ways, his ideas can be understood as both a response to the bureaucratization of life and as an example of such bureaucracy. These interpretations largely hinge upon the author's compartmentalizing of people (and even animals) according to their race, which he actually traces to different groups throughout history.
As an example of bureaucratization, the author's notion of a pure race functions as the ultimate form of compartmentalization. He posits the viewpoint that only those whose bloodlines are quintessential and undiluted can truly accomplish noble tasks. His value for such people, which inevitably is used to justify the Teutonic peoples in Germany as the ideal master race,…...

The anxiety is compounded based not only on choice, but also on taste and preference. Because of technology, we humans are capable of doing tremendous damage to the planet based on the decisions of what to eat. In fact, this is so serious, that Pollan notes that we now have the added dilemma of potentially devastating the ecology of some areas simply to provide a certain "taste" for x cuisine.
This is even more complex when we think about ethics and our treatment of animals. I had never realized just how unethical factory farming could be -- and how out of balance it is to raise thousands and thousands of chickens or turkeys in a hot barn that is so unhealthy for them that they have to be pumped full of antibiotics just to live; or the egg farms that pack chickens so tight their feet grow into the wires.…...

Improving the Writing Skills of Saudi Students in English-Speaking Colleges
Learning a foreign language and using it to enhance a traveling experience is one thing, but using a second language for studies in higher education is truly difficult. Those who are able to accomplish their academic goals in a language that is not their first language achieve something quite remarkable. The purpose of this study is to explore the differences in Saudi students writing in Arabic and English, to research the perceptions of Saudi students regarding their experiences studying abroad and any effects on their writing in English that they attribute to living in an English-speaking country.

While there are many different aspects of English language that make reading, speaking, and writing difficult for students whose first language is not English, one of the most troublesome is cohesion. This paper will explore the concept of cohesion as it impacts the study and…...

There may also be expectations as to how the map is drawn such as a fill in the black approach (Miller et al., 2009). Whereas the open ended process does not place any limitations on the shape of the map or the terms that may be used, however, a small selection of trigger terms may be provided to assist the student (Miller et al., 2009). This approach allows the student to create the map in a manner that is conducive to their understanding of the knowledge of a concept (Miller et al., 2009).
Traditionally, concept maps have been paper and pencil tools, however, increasingly computer software has become available as an alternative to concept mapping. This approach allows for more creativity on the part of the student to design their map in a manner that is conducive to their learning style and compartmentalization of information (Miller et al., 2009).

pressure of deadlines or scrutiny of the professor, writing can be stressful and nerve-wracking. However, with a few simple tools, any student can learn how to get over any form of "writer's block" and overcome any fear of self-expression. First, it is important to be as unconcerned as possible about lofty diction: that is, using big words. Big words from a young or inexperienced writer can sound artificial and pretentious. Clarity, not fancy language, is the hallmark of good college writing. Second, to improve their writing skills, college students should spend a few minutes organizing their thoughts before starting to actually write the words down. From formal outlines to simple scribbles on a piece of paper, organization can go a long way toward improving a writer's clarity. Finally, a student's writing skills will improve most through lots of practice: thankfully, four years of college offer just about all the…...

dedication before being able to be successful in it. I challenged myself to take up writing seriously when I started reading different kinds of books, particularly series of books from my favorite authors. Aside from books, I started reading the newspapers and magazines everyday. As I took up this new hobby, I was able to get new ideas and words seem to 'pile up' in my head, allowing me to easily (and appropriately) assign words for a particular thought in my head. Indeed, reading is the first step to successful writing. This is because through reading, one is acquainted with different patterns of thoughts and ideas, and from that range of patterns of thought, I am able to discern which among them will be appropriate for me to use. Thus, I began to become fully interested in writing, allowing myself to express my thoughts in what I hoped to…...

Semantics envisages language meaning and the term focuses on the interpretation of individual words and the denotations that arise from word combinations (Chapter 7, n.d.). The word 'song' can elucidate on this definition. The latter refers to a composition of words or a poem that individuals can sing. Additionally, the word 'song' can be used to show the element of possession, for example, ihanna's song. Semantics can be classified into two namely, receptive and expressive facets. eceptive dimension points to the understanding of language. On the other hand, expressive semantics denotes production of meaningful discourse (Chapter 7, n.d.). The classification of semantics engages the generality in objects, actions, and relations between objects.
Pragmatics alludes to the use of language. The term incorporates rules that dominate the engagement of language for social interaction (Chapter 7, n.d.). The rules of pragmatics are centered on influencing the actions and attitudes of the listener. As…...

Skills and Knowledge Area
The ability to research and interpret and then apply various local and federal and State laws as well as ordinances related to Community Programs is an extremely important and demanding skill. One example of the demonstration of this ability is that explained by Thomas R. Suozzi, the County Executive of Nassau, and Lorna B. Goodman, County Attorney of Nassau County, in their Annual Report on their County presented in December 2004. Herein, it is stated that with the support of the people of the county, they have managed to indeed accomplish a great many things, and they then proceed to list out the various activities and accomplishments. The first one is, according to the Report that of managing to bring 'in-house' the remaining part of the more than $10 million of specified legal work that had actually been given to the private bar earlier. The reason for…...

Skill Building
The course work has immensely improved my reading, writing, and thinking skills. Prior to reading the course materials, there were established beliefs on certain issues and interest in me. For example, the issue of racism and health care was a matter that had always caught my attention, because of my Hispanic heritage. acism was a topic of concern and interest, but I was never a victim of any form of racism. Therefore, from the beginning, I was not in a position to fathom the ordeal and experiences minorities go through because of racism. It is through reading, writing and analytical thinking of articles that I appreciated this social dynamic. It has always been difficult for me to explain and imagine that I could be a victim of racism.

After this course, I am able to use my reading skills that have improved and increased my reading speed and comprehension.…...

Good writing skill, as a form of business communication, is equally important with verbal communication because it makes the latter stronger during business activities.
Furthermore, good writing skill is important in the marketing activities of a business. It is from good writing skills where businesses can exercise marketing strategies for their products and services. For instance, in the advertising brochures distributed by a business to its clients and customers, a good writing skill applied to the development of the brochures can push the company's convincing power in promoting their products and services, thus providing them with a ticket to success.

Good writing skill is important in the business world because good communication enhances the possibility of success to every business endeavors. Good writing skill, being a form of communication, is therefore among the important elements to a…...

Program ReflectionFollowing my graduation from college, I hope to pursue a career in criminal justice. Within the field of criminal justice, there are a number of different roles that I could potentially pursue. Like many students studying criminal justice, I am unsure of which specific role I hope to pursue. However, I am certain that I want to work within the federal corrections system. This system is in need of reform, and I hope to be a part of the change. In addition, I believe that my experience as a corrections officer will be valuable in this role.In five years, I do have some hope to be working as a federal corrections investigator. This position would allow me to use my skills to help improve the conditions within the federal corrections system. In ten years, I believe I could build on that experience and be working as a federal correctional…...

Skill Assessment
Matrix A shows a set of skills and tri-part analysis of those skills for five individuals. The Matrix is based on: S = Strong, W = Weak, or T= In Training. The skill sets are: problem solving, written communications, oral communication, leadership, creativity, goal orientation, multi-tasking, time management, analysis, delegating, and strategic thinking. Analysis of the matrix shows the following:

Skill

Strong

Weak

In Training

Problem Solving

All

Written Communication

Oral Communication

Leadership

All

Creativity

Goal Orientation

All

Multi-Tasking

All

Time Management

Analytical

Delegating

Strategic Thinking

Based on the matrix, areas of concern are, in order of ranking:

Oral Communication (3 weak)

Strategic Thinking (4 still in training)

Analytical Skills (3 still in training)

Written Communication (1 weak, 3 in training)

Time Management (1 weak)

If we assign points to each individual as 3 for Strong, 2 for In training, and 1 for weak, we find that the group itself is relatively homogeneous: Joshua, Thea and Michael at 29 points; obert and Melodie at 28 points. This would indicate that, in general, the group is…...

In that survey, employers in the field of "Health Care and Pharmaceutical" were queried as to the "Top Five Skills That Are Attractive in MBA Graduates." Since my concentration is Healthcare Management, this portion of the survey is of keen interest. Those top five skills, which I believe I possess, include: 1) "ability to think analytically"; 2) "ability to think strategically"; 3) "leadership skills"; 4) "oral communication skills"; 5) and "interpersonal skills."

Moreover, among the Healthcare/Pharmaceutical skills that employers in this survey believe should "be strengthened" through MBA programs, are: "ability to make decisions with imperfect information"; "ability to think strategically"; and "written communication skills."

In conclusion, I wish to address another question which was posed for this essay, "What are your concerns about your ability to be successful in an MBA program?" My concerns are related to how high I can go in my MBA program scholastic achievement -- to what…...

A reflective letter should accomplish several tasks at once.  Because it is reflective, it should describe something personal to you.  Usually, those are going to be your thoughts on the subject, though it may also include some of your experiences.  For example, in an essay about your growth as a writer after participating in a particular course, you could give examples of experiences you had during the course. Because it is a letter, it should be structured differently than a reflective essay.  You want to include the traditional parts of a letter, including....
