Last year, I was working in a job that I truly hated. At least, I thought I hated it. I would come home after a long day at school, and I would have to mentally prepare myself to go to work. I dreaded this job so much that I actually didn't want school to end on certain days because that meant I had to be at work in a few hours! And while most people looked forward to their weekends, I silently dreaded mine, because rather than be out with my friends, I had to be stuck in a department store. You're probably wondering what was so awful about this job for it to cause me such stress. Was it the people with whom I worked' No, I actually got along great with everyone. From the day I started my job, the other employees (some who were my age, and some who were a bit older) were all very nice, welcoming, and extremely friendly. They were also helpful; if I ever had a problem, I knew right away that I didn't have to hesitate to ask them to lend me a hand. For

History Development and Growth In 1914, Edwin Booz developed a conception. He assumed that in order for the corporations to be more profitable they might call on an expert from outside their company for professional, independent recommendations. By developing this concept, he formed a novel line of work, which is known as management consulting. By the year 1914, Edwin Booz graduated from Northwestern University. He then goes into business all by himself, executing research and numerical evaluations for corporations. In the year 1915, Ed Booz coordinates a corporation, Business Research & Development Company that dealt with investigating market environments in diverse fields and corporations. In 1919, another milestone was achieved when Ed Booz inaugurated Edwin G. Booz, Business Engineering Service. Its very first client was The State Bank & Trust of Evanston, IL. In 1924 the name of the company changed to Edwin Booz S

When writing a college research paper, it is extremely important to lend credibility to your research by citing various sources used during research process. However the type of source you use can make a huge difference to both the quality of your research and the final grade assigned to your work. This is because not all sources contain authentic information and some may present one-sided views on an incident, which turns your research paper into a lop-sided opinion piece, lacking originality and objectivity. For this reason it is important to know which type of sources work and which don't in a college research paper. In this paper, we shall evaluate three different types of sources that college students mostly use and assess their strengths and weaknesses. The topic chosen for evaluation of sources is PCB and water pollution.

This paper presents a detailed examination of the use of criminal prosecution for the purpose of cleaning up corporate America. The writer uses several examples of criminal prosecution in large corporations to provide evidence of the trend. The writer also discusses the federal government's stance on corporate crime. There were four sources used to complete this paper.

Investing a thousand dollars doesn't have to be a headache. It can be as simple as placing the money in a bank account and collecting the interest. However, interest rates are low, and bank accounts are not the best ways to invest money. Some of the more lucrative options include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, money market accounts, real estate, and starting a business. Each of these methods has pros and cons, and the right one depends on the goals of the investor. Furthermore, some investment strategies are higher- risk than others and it is good to determine how much risk is necessary or desirable. It may also be helpful to determine whether or not investing is necessary, for if a person is in debt it is probably better to pay off the debt before investing further. If the person is in healthy financial shape and wishes to invest, there are several options. Investing in stocks is usually not recommended for beginning investors because it requires a good deal

The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the case against the minimum wage in America. Specifically, it will discuss the minimum wage, and why it does not work in America today. The Federal Minimum Wage was created to ensure American workers received adequate and fair wages during the Great Depression, when jobs were scarce and wages were abysmally low. Today, the Federal Minimum Wage stirs controversy and ire in many areas of American politics and business. The Federal Minimum Wage has served its usefulness, and many believe there are now better ways to ensure workers receive adequate wages.

Practitioners of justice, sociologists and philosophers have long propounded the theory that the ultimate form of justice is the absence of injustice in society. Viewed from this stand point, the main argument of Retentionists for capital punishment that it acts as an effective deterrent in the prevention of crime and the protection of society from the evils of crime, seems a tenable one. But does it really' A review of the effects of capital punishment as a deterrent not only fails to corroborate the theory of Retentionists, it also raises questions on whether capital punishment violates the very concept of ultimate justice since there is a prima facie case to argue that, the practice of capital punishment may, in itself, actually amount to a form of social injustice. But first, it would be of importance to actually discuss the role, if any, of capital punishment in acting as a deterrent to crime. The Retentionists argue that the threat of capital punishme

The subject that I have chosen for my biography is Christine de Pisan. I chose her because I have never heard of her before and therefore; her life and her work would shed light on my knowledge of history and open up new avenues to work on. Furthermore, I was curious as to what the women had done during her life that inspired and changed the society during that particular time in history.

Computers would be useless without input devices. Even small-scale computers from calculators to GPS navigation systems require some input from the human being in order to work properly and produce worthwhile output. Some of the everyday input devices like keyboards, mice, joysticks and microphones have reached increasingly more sophisticated levels of technology. Other input devices that are available to the general public but are generally used in commercial settings include touch-screens, keypads for ATMs and bank card purchases, credit card scanners, bar code readers, and more. However, new technology is constantly being developed to create ever more sophisticated and futuristic input devices. Some of these, like the digital signature capture pen and 3D body scanner, may never make it into the common household but are nevertheless fascinating new developments in technology. They enhance the ways in which human beings can interact with machines. Some other new input dev

Dependent on British goods for the survival of their agricultural economy, the Southern States strongly opposed any attempts by Congress to tax foreign and interstate imports. This was seen as a direct affront to the South as well as to states' rights in general. Those who believed in a strong, powerful federal government favored import duties because the money raised bolstered the national economy. As the United States was still a new nation, federal monies were needed to fund infrastructures. However, the American economy was still regional in the decades immediately following the War of Independence. The North became increasingly industrial in nature and was largely self-sufficient. Northern states did not rely on foreign imports as much as the southern states did at the time. However, the south had been practicing a plantation economy for centuries and to suddenly impose a tax would burden many southern plantation owners and business men and severely cut

The phrase, "Monkey See, Monkey Do!" takes on connotations of reality with the discovery (or at least, the conjecture) of mirror neurons. Mirror neurons were first identified in the frontal lobes (pre-motor cortex area or Broca's area) in monkeys. Broca's area is the center in the brain associated with the expressive and syntactic aspects of language in humans. Giaccamo Rizzollati and co-workers made the discovery of mirror neurons. (Rizzolatti et al., 1996) Mirror neurons are identified as potentially important from an evolutionary standpoint. Scientists have identified them as the key to the evolution of our cognitive and language abilities. The problem as it exists is that the human (or primate) brain attained its size with all the attendant genetics more than 250,000 years ago. However, our ability to create language, music and establish evolved cultures have come after our brains were fully developed. This means that the above-mentioned abilities were present in the human brain, but were latent. This would go against Darwin's theory of evolution, which suggests that only expressed gene

In seeking some form of rational explanation to comprehend the underlying reasons for the widespread, relentless, annoying scams on the Internet, looking at the classic strain theory (CST) puts things into a helpful context. According to an article in Youth & Society (Agnew, et al., 1997), individuals engaged in any kind of wrongdoing - such as scams involving phony spam-spawned email promises on the World Wide Web - are very likely people who were (or are) unable to "achieve their goals." The dominant goal, as has been very obvious for many years, is "monetary success or middle class status." Significant segments of society, the journal article continues, "are said to be prevented from achieving this goal through legitimate channels" - and somehow, getting a good education, and doing an honest day's work and saving and investing for the future are concepts that haven't worked for this deviant segment. And so, certain of these individuals "employ illegitimate means to achieve their goals," such as theft, "striking out at others in their anger, or retreating into drug use." And in this par

One of the most important natural resources involved in farming is the soil. When we hear about the soil,' most of us usually think of the ground or of the dirt we track onto our mother's floor, or our soiled clothing that we need to wash. But the soil is so much more than that! When farming, a farmer must be sure that the soil he or she is using is rich enough to grow the crops he wishes to sell, later on, in the marketplace. The soil must have enough minerals in it, and be properly watered so that the farmer's crops can grow. The farmer's soil in the fields m

Drug use and abuse is by no means a new phenomenon, but in the United States the problems associated with drugs has recently received much attention in the media, in politics, and in the scientific communities. In particular, drug use among teenagers has been the focus of many studies. Eric Sterling notes that "illegal drugs such as heroin and marijuana were more easily available to high school seniors in 1998 than at any time in history," suggesting that drug control measures issued by the US government are failing miserably. Marijuana has received the strictest criticism of all the drugs in the illegal pharmacopeias, ostensibly because it is the most popular illicit substance. An estimated 76% of Americans aged twelve and over who use illicit drugs use marijuana; almost half of these people don't imbibe any other drug like cocaine or heroin (NIDA). The news is peppered with drug-related death stories, most of which ironically do not involve marijuana use but "harder" dru

Life changed dramatically for 17th and 18th century Europeans, as a result of major social, political, and philosophical transformations. Following the Reformation, the authority and dominance of the Catholic Church were already being questioned and severely criticized. This in turn contributed to a shift away from the Church as the source of political and spiritual power toward the King. Endowing Europe's monarch's with supreme authority, known as the Divine Right of Kings, led to the trend of Absolutism. Absolutism gave the king exactly that: absolute power to control his territories and peoples. The rise of the eastern European powers like Austria and Prussia were largely a result of Absolutist sentiment throughout Europe at the time. Philosophers during this era also ascribed to the notion that Absolutism was good for state and countrymen. Ironically

The period from 1690 to 1760 saw massive changes in the social, political and economic landscape of early America. Because of the importance of travel and agriculture, the first colonies grew along the coasts. The colonies were self-sufficient and had distinct cultures. However, they were also linked by commerce and navigation. By the early 18th century, New England colonies like Boston and Salem were established shipbuilding communities as well as important ports for ships from ar

Religion Religion played a major role in the development of the New England colonies. Protesting the corruption within the Roman Catholicism that remained dominant within the Church of England, members of the Puritan movement left England, then the Old World behind entirely to establish colonies in the New World. Eventually, the initial colony established in present-day Southeast Massachusetts would grow into network of settlements around Massachusetts Bay, up to New Hampshire and the coast of Maine. Ironically, though the original colonists fled because of religious persecution, religion would continue to be a divisive factor among the Massachusetts colonies. Though most colonists identified themselves as "Puritans," their beliefs differed widely, inspiring the growth of various religious groups. By the 1730s, these divisions were further aggravated by the Great Awakening (Hall 334-338). In contrast, religious differentiations in the Chesapeake colonies were not as diverse, altho

The second installment in the amazingly successful Harry Potter series is a delightful literary romp that can appeal to adults as well as children. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chronicles the adventures and escapades of the title character during his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Along with Harry Potter's intrepid sidekicks, the aptly-named Ron Weasley and astute, precocious Hermione Granger, J. K. Rowling crafts a fine array of colorful characters. The evil ones of the bunch: Draco Malfoy and Professor Severus Snape, add complexity to the cast at Hogwarts, as do ancillary characters like the likeable Hagrid and regal headmaster Dumbledore. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets includes the requisite elements of the supernatural and macabre that characterizes the Harry Potter series. However, it is Rowling's distinctive sense of humor that set apart Rowling's books from other young adult series. The names of spells, slapstick

Statistical concepts have literally thousands of applications. These include both the hard' sciences and social sciences but also fields such as political science. Statistics are so key to the nature of certain fields that most of them could not exist without concepts such as the median and sampling. The mean, median and mode are often used in political campaigns. These campaigns are designed to appeal to targeted demographics, which form the basis for blocks of voters. Presidential speeches are designed to specifically appeal to a hypothesized median' voter. Swing votes often represent a mode or block' of voters who can be expected to vote in a similar fashion. Where the political support of one's party members can be predicted with safety, the fate of elections always swings with popular opinion. If the opinion of the hypothetical median' citizen were not courted to, one of the two parties would eventually become marginalized. A concept like the Axis of Evil' or Lock Box' seems adolescent to university professors and political analysts, but speechwriters didn't have these people in mind when they created the c

Eric Schlosser's 1994 article "Reefer Madness" outlines the history and ideology behind marijuana criminalization laws. The author attempts to point out the flaws in America's anti-drug policies by criticizing heavy- handed sentencing and the lack of scientific evidence against the dangers of marijuana use. Tracing the origins of marijuana cultivation in the United States, Schlosser shows that pot was not always the "evil weed" that many assume it is; it was once used in an innocuous manner by the Founding Fathers as a sturdy fiber and even as legal tender. What began the campaign against cannabis sativa was actually rooted in racism and class discrimination, according to Schlosser. Citing evidence that Mexican migrant farm laborers, black New Orleans jazz musicians, and underground groups used marijuana recreationally, the author connects anti-marijuana laws to the era of the Great Depression. Consequently, drug laws began politically charged and remain so until thi

The advertisement sheet for Muller's "Alpha" Patent Gas-Making Machine provides much insight into the state and orientation of American technology in the 1870s. From the advertisement, we can discern a United States at the dawn of its rise to an industrial power, using technology to hold its own against the more advanced industrialized European countries such as Germany. The advertisement shows a rendition of a gas-making machine, a devise that could produce fuel for "lighting all places out of reach of coal gas." The sellers further touted a machine that would provide fuel for household activities such as lighting and heating, though paradoxically, the machine itself would not generate any heat. The advertisement most likely was published between the 1870s and the 1880s, a time that saw much research into various gas-making machines. During this time, much of the industrialized nations were dependent on coal gas, a by-product of the distillation of co

China's attractive market size and the economic advantages of opening factories there raise a host of controversial issues. Without even touching upon human rights issues, it is easy to see the problems inherent in China demands that multi-national corporations transfer modern management skills and technology. Ideally, the relationship would be reciprocal: if companies choose to locate production facilities in China then they should be willing to share valuable information such as technolog

There are likely as many similarities between these two plays as there are dramatic differences. And yet, both are extremely well- written, both allow the audience to peek into the living rooms and lives of interesting people, and both also put a microscope on society and allow the audience to examine the real characters that make America what it is. In this paper, plays will be compared and contrasted in several ways. Fences, which depicts the African-American family experience of the late 1950s, just prior to the social and civil rights explosions of the 1960s, is in a way the balancing act on the other side of the American teeter-totter from Salesman, a story of the middle class American Caucasian experience of the late 1940s. Characters in both fictional families are seen in their realistic settings, and are believable. Death of a Salesman of course is a far more well-kno

Smoking has been an issue for many years now. Questions as to when and where smoking should be permitted are usually the concerns of the public health. In some places, such as the restaurants and offices, non-smoking regulation is sometimes a strict rule. However, in other public places, smoking does not post an illegal act to smokers. Up to what extent should smoking really be restricted in public places' Many governments in many nations are taking actions in discouraging the habit of smoking. Health institutions promote health warnings and advertisements to discourage people from smoking. According to Daniel, Rosen, and Allen, however, in their Attitudes, Information, and Behavior of College Students Related to Smoking and Smoking Cessation, the government's action of influencing people in their crusade against smoking will only reach the support of the non-smokers, those who quit smoking, and those who ha
