Education and Martin Luther King
Education is a fundamental way of life. A means to learn something new, the intention is to mentally, physically, and emotionally benefit the person by putting them in a better place than they were previously in before. This is an example of what my dad said ââ¬Å"If could, if I had the power to change something. It would be education, the fundamental base in everyoneââ¬â¢s life. â⬠Education is something that leads us to reach our goals and to be successful in life. So primary, we need education to be successful. Education includes moral values, and much more.But nowadays the meaning of education is misunderstood by people. Without education nothing is Achieve. Education is very important in every human life. Some people are not to be educated but they intense is too reached their goals, in my view education means which lead us to our destiny. If you think about Education, it gives us a basic knowledge about our surroundings. It is the first step that helps begin our journe y to reach success. We can reach success without education but we have to work hard or try till we reach our goal or success.Education is not only the way for us to reach our success, but it's just a step to reach knowledge. Education is must for every person on today's life education has become a basic need of every one's life it is a key to success. Education is the key to all we need in life without education and knowledge no one can be successful. Education is necessary for success.

Educations are what leads a human to being successful, and make an improvement in life. Malcolm X provides an argument which states that education is important no matter whe re it is received. Education helps us to understand ourselves better also it helps us to learn about our strengths and weaknesses. Omar Bradley wrote that ââ¬Å"education makes people easy to lead but difficult to drive, easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.ââ¬â¢Ã¢â¬â¢How can it that someone can be taught something and they grasp the whole concept of it, they understand it fully and still they donââ¬â¢t use it in their life as if the things they were taught meant nothing to themâ⬠A fundamental desire of parents is for their children to have a better education. Every parent dreams for their children to be successful in life and that all starts with education, our parents know the true meaning of work, they donââ¬â¢t want us to go through the struggles they went through to be where they are now.They instruct us to do the best in school from pre-k to college because they know it will help us in the long run. They inspire us to do better not only for our futures b ut also our kidââ¬â¢s future. Education gives us a lot of opportunities, not only for us but people around me and our futures children.

Extraordinary Circumstance Review
Introduction and Aim of the Review This review of WorldCom is based on the Extraordinary Circumstances by Cynthia Cooper. The purpose of review report is to conclude whether WorldCom satisfied the Code of Ethics and the Attribute and Performance Standards set forth by the IIA. Background WorldCom was one of the largest telecom companies in the world during 1996 to 2002. The company helped to grow a small regional company that bought and re-sold long distance in the South into an international behemoth that operated in over 65 countries.However, in 2002, the senior management and employees perpetrated a massive fraud, and in June, WorldCom announced that it had ââ¬Å"misstatedâ⬠its financial statements over the last five quarters by $3. 8 billion. After coming out this scandal, WorldCom went bankrupt, and it has been the largest bankruptcy ever. Analysis Based on the book Cynthia Cooper wrote, WorldCom didnââ¬â¢t comply with the Code of Ethics and the Attribute and Performan ce Standards. Fraud The internet bubble that burst in March, 2000 is followed with much larger and more devastating collapse: Telecom.WorldComââ¬â¢s financial statements were far worse than expectation that would result in stock price fall, downgrading company and most importantlyââ¬âlosing capital to acquire companies. Then CEO and CFO were planning to change the financial statements with mid-level accountants. They thought if the financial statements were better in next quarter, they could cover the change. But things didnââ¬â¢t go according to plan. They had to change the number until the whistle blew. Lack of risks assessment During the WorldCom expansion, CEO, Bernie led the company through 70 acquisitions in less than 20 years.Bernie was too audacious to expand the company without consideration. For example, when board didnââ¬â¢t want to invest any more capital or incur more debt on telecom, Bernie mortgaged everything he had to buy TMC outright. The strategy help s LDDS expand, but also planted bomb in the company which exploded in the future. Gambling rather than risk control When World Com was acquiring other companies, some were not willing to receive a combination of cash and stock. They would sell the stock as soon as they get.In order not to let the stock price fall, the executives in WorldCom bought the stock instead at a discount price. Luckily, as the result, the stock price went up dramatically. Low internal Audit department position Internal audit department was a dispensable unit in the company and didnââ¬â¢t get high attention during that time. Unlike external counterparts, internal auditors are usually employees of the companies they audit. Some companies choose to have only a small, token group, others none at all, and others outsource the function altogether, sometimes to the same public accounting firm performing the external audit.Cynthia Cooper was announced to be the director of internal auditing by CEO, Bernie. They p robably had some deals under table during CEO fraud. Individual manipulation and lacking of proficiency LDDS was too big to have so many employees reporting to CEO, Bernie directly. Meanwhile, Bernie doesnââ¬â¢t have technical telecom or financial training and he was only interested in what he liked and understood. His goal was to make WorldCom to be the NO. 1 stock on Wall Street rather than capture market share or be global which implied the tragedy of WorldCom.He continuously acquired the other companies to make WorldCom bigger and bigger without deep consideration, even paid the price to lose his confidants. Lack of programs improvement WorldCom was praised as a ââ¬Å"fast-growthâ⬠companyââ¬âa rate of growth usually achievable only by external acquisition, not organic internal evolution. If WorldCom ever stops acquiring, growth will most likely slow, which will negatively impact analystsââ¬â¢ ratings and WorldComââ¬â¢s stock price. The main business in WorldC om is not real telecom business; instead, itââ¬â¢s a acquiring and resell business.Thus, there were no improvement or clear organic structures in the company. Whatââ¬â¢s more, WorldCom didnââ¬â¢t have its own wireless network and it only sells wireless service, which would result in loss revenue later. Lack of after acquiring testing WorldCom acquired 65 companies successfully until the failure of acquiring Sprint. Internal auditing department only employed 10 people to monitor the huge company. Not mention to monitor and test the acquired companies. Lack of auditing CEO During the golden period of WorldCom, Bernie obtained loan from plenty banks which related to the stock price of the company.As long as WorldCom stock stayed higher above a level, banks wouldnââ¬â¢t issue a margin call, requiring Bernie to come up with the cash to pay down enough of the loan to bring the collateral to remain at a certain percent of the loan. As a result, when the stock market fluctuated in 2002, WorldCom stock price went down below the certain level, and the board had to help Bernie to pay the loan, or the stock price will keep falling as the banks lose confidence in WorldCom and sell stocks one after another.But at the beginning, there was no one to control Bernie not to borrow money and take that risk to pay marginal call. Conclusion WorldCom was proved to be a big success and a tragedy in the history. Its strategy of expansion through acquiring constantly helped it grow-up to be a top 100 company in the stock market. However, itââ¬â¢s precisely because this ââ¬Å"crazyâ⬠acquiring method let the WorldCom ignore the foundation of operating activities. Investors neglect the cash flow statements rather than totally relied on the equity return.As the internal department, it didnââ¬â¢t play a good role in assurance and consulting activities for the acquiring process. Since the department wasnââ¬â¢t gain enough attention from the board and was usually i nfluenced by the executives, like CEOââ¬âBernie, it was hardly to let them perform well under the Bernieââ¬â¢s control. In this case, Bernie was seen as ââ¬Å"Godsâ⬠in WorldCom and there was no one came up with objections, even some will oppose the acquiring, but at last Bernie still could do what he wants.Even Cynthia found there was a fraud from the new CEO and CFO after Bernie left WorldCom. It still couldnââ¬â¢t prevent the tragedy Bernie planted before. At the same time, this case also gives a lesson that power should be divided rather than central control, and the person who holds the power should have the enough capability and professional knowledge. ââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬âââ¬â [ 2 ].

Essay on The Chemistry behind our Television Sets
Chemistry has had a colossal impact on the advancement of technology throughout the world. Every electronic item can acknowledge chemistry for its creation. A main example that everyone knows of would be the television. Without chemistry, there would be no technology; and without technology, we would not be where we are today. Before television was invented people tried to find different ways to entertain themselves. One bizarre thing people used the do was to attend surgeries for entertainment. They found surgery to be very interesting and thrilling so they watched for their entertainment, almost like a TV show but in real life. Before television was invented news could not be delivered on a screen broadcasted to everyone, thereforeâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦The newer models of televisions contain plasma in their screens. Plasma screens are made up of groups of cells called pixels. These pixels are composed of three sub-pixels that consist of three different colors; green, red, and blue. ââ¬Å"This technology uses a plasma etching system which is a type of plasma processing mainly used in fabricating integrated circuits. The process involves shooting a gas mixture of glow discharge or plasma towards a sample at very high speeds.â⬠(The Canadian News). The plasma, in gas state, reacts with phosphors in the television panelââ¬â¢s sub-pixels to create colored light in green, red, or blue. A phosphor is a synthetic fluorescent or phosphorescent substance. The phosphors used are comparable to the ones used in traditional Cathode Ray Tube televisions and computer monitors. Cathode Ray tubes are a high-vacuum tube in which cathode rays produce a luminous image on a fluorescent screen. With plasma technology, televisions are now able to display richer, more dynamic, and more realistic colors than the CRT televisions (The Canadian News). Technology is affecting society in various ways today. The television has an impact on the behavior of adolescents that many would consider negative. For example, violence in media can cause youth violence. According to Brandon S.

Lab Report on TLC analisys of Analgestic Drugs Essay examples
TLC Analysis of Analgesic Drugs Introduction In this experiment, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was used to determine the composition of various over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics: Anacin, Bufferin, Excedrin, and Tylenol. The TLC plates were first viewed under ultraviolet (UV) light and then treated with iodine vapor in order to visualize the spotting. Experiment Scheme Initially, sixteen capillary micropipets were created in order to spot the TLC plates. Two TLC plates were then obtained and marked with pencil for spotting. A line was drawn 1 cm from the bottom of each plate, and five small, evenly spaced marks were made along those lines (see Figure 1). Each mark indicated where a substance would be spotted. All compoundsâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦They were first viewed under UV light, where any spots were circled with a pencil. They were then placed in a jar with iodine where some spots developed a brownish color. Figure 6 shows approximately what each plate looked like after it was viewed. Any circles with Xââ¬â¢s were ones that developed the brownish color after exposure to the iodine. Figure 6. Developed TLC Plates The Rf values were calculated based on these observations. They are shown in Table 2. Table 2.

Problem Solving Techniques and Tips â⬠Free Samples to Students
Question: Discuss about the Problem Solving Techniques and Tips. Answer: Introduction: Being a support worker at the youth disability accommodation service, I come across number of behaviors which are different than normal or sometimes silent behavior which is perhaps more dangerous or complicated in results. My response to various behaviors below would be based on understanding the psychology of the individual and then responding with the best possible solution. Elizabeth tripped over the mat on the lounge room floor. Behavior aspects: Elizabeth is walking in the lounge and she slipped may or may not have certain behavioral implications. In normal situations where it is possible for her to walk in the usual manner, she intends to walk with shuddering feet. Such kind of conduct do not hint positive response in the mental health of the person. Elizabeth is suffering from memory lapses and this could go severe because under such medical condition, someone forgets on what they are doing in the current time. Elizabeth is walking and suddenly, she overlooks her thoughts and does not know to take next steps in her walking process. Such behavioral response requires documentation because memory phase treatment would be required to ensure consciousness in her mind and that will make her overcome such kind of behavior. Sudden loss to the memory may prove fatal for her in her regular activities of life and therefore, memory treatment would help her do the best in life. (Elizabeth, 2015) You found medication tucked under Mikes pillow. Behavior aspects: Mike has been at the youth disability accommodation service for three years and improvement in his health was not remarkable that could allow him to stay normal in the outside life. Mike have a problem in dealing with the people where he struggles to understand, say or believe someone. Such behavioral symptoms of hiding the medication may have thoughts of not getting well. (Kane, 2016) In simple terms Mike believes that if he does not take medication, he would not leave disability accommodation because it the area of his comfort. Here he doesnt need to deal with people who have strange comportment as per Mike. Mikes behavior need special attention because giving him medication by force or other method would only deepen his fears. There is need to help him comprehend that medicines on timely basis will make him good and people outside are willing to interact with him. Once medication is normal and Mikes response is on expected path, miracles are bound to happen. Behavior aspects: Such behavioral response from Raelene could be easy going or it may have other regressive impacts depending the sternness. Raelene is suffering from Hyperopia where she can see things clearly which are far away from her whereas nearby things need glasses to see them. Simple facet of the behavior is that she might not be looking good wearing those bulky glassed frames. Severe impact of this rejection by Raelene could be trying to stay natural. She believes that glasses are hindering her vision to see virtuous effects and this makes her irritated over the topic of glasses. Also, it is to be noted that Raelene cannot walk a step without her glasses and whenever she even attempts the same, she fells down after hitting any non-moveable object at the place. So, it clear that the problem of the vision has undesirable bearings which could prove fatal to her life. There is requirement to help her understand the vision of glasses by highlighting the virtues. Leanne was complaining of stomach pain. Behavior aspects: As a support worker, I can never rely on one observation or one method of observation for monitoring the behavior of the person. Leanne has been regularly complaining of stomach pain. Taking it on a serious note, I decided to go for initial health checks to determine the problem of Leanne. Reports were beyond the general perception that Leanne might be lying to avoid any kind of workload. As per health reports, Leannes intestines were malformed due to lack of proper diet. It clearly indicated that Leanne was not eating his food. Since the root cause was identified and I initiated to provide Leanne diet on demand. Though it took time to see responsive change in behavior, yet ensured that Leanne recovered and the complain of stomach pain was thing of the past. With this observation, it is important to appreciate the right action that is surely required before jumping to set conclusions. George was upset and arguing with his roommate Jim. This has been occurring consistently for some time Behavior aspects: It is clear thought of humanity that not necessarily, two persons may not resemble in aspects of personality, thoughts or backgrounds. In case of George, there is lot of friction in the empathy with his roommate Jin. It is not the case that Jin is pinching him for one or the other thing. In fact, situation at Georges end is fiddly and need to be addressed. In terms of mental understanding, George is under the influence of personal friction. Under personal friction, a person is in habit of complaining about others, yelling or argument in nature. Without discriminating on behavior of George or Jim, my job required me to help George in minimizing gaps. I prepared a care plan for George where listening actively was in focus. It helped George to keep calm with his tempers and his bonding links became compatible not only with his roommate but also with other contacts. How will you respond to Antons behavior to demonstrate effective communication and problem-solving/negotiation strategies? Initially when Anton came to Youth Refuge, his nature was filled with anxiety and anger to argue with people around. With spending routine time in the refuge, it was observed that Anton is improving and is taking time to solidify with other residents. Antons behavior during the last week at the refuge was changing drastically and need to be addressed before he moves out. Ignorance and anger was again observed in the nature of Anton and this was not a good sign. (Valdellon, 2017) With communication and timely discussion approach, it would be possible to address the real problem faced by him. Regular interaction may help him to speak his mind on why there is shift in his nature when time is coming close for him to meet and stay with his family. Might be there is some situation at his home which he is not willing to handle or face. Thats why he is behaving rigid to ensure his stay at the refuge for extended time. I believe meaningful conversations may help me in solving the problem face d by Anton and improving his behavior as well. How will you address Antons cultural differences? Antons behavior is also the output of the family background and differences in the culture need redressal at the earlier because different people from different cultures tend to same thing with different aspects. I will help Anton create supportable relationships with people from other cultures. The first concept to be addressed to Anton is to meet others as an individual and not as someone from some culture. He should be made aware about fair attitude by demonstrating uniformity and fairness in actions rather than judging anyone on different grounds. Communication can solve any misunderstandings and therefore I would encourage Anton to interact with other people. In this way, not only he will overcome these cultural differences but also learn values, styles and skills. In simple term, diversity will be his learning to be successful. (Ryan, 2012) As Antons behavior continues to escalate, how can you respond assertively to ensure personal safety for yourself and Anton? Aggression in Antons behavior may prove terminal both for myself and for him because action/reactions in state of anger are never reversible. With Antons behavior getting depraved, it becomes necessary to raise the concern to the management of the Refuge. With good team of psychologists and counselor, Anton will get the best help to control the anger and irritation that pops his mind. Room of Anton will not have any heavy object which he may use to harm himself or others. It will ensure safety as well. What actions would you need to take after this exchange and over the next week to comply with the organization policies and procedures? Prepare a brief incident report with one entry immediately after the incident and a follow up entry during the week to update the report. With my observation of the refuge, there needs some structural changes to comply with organization policies and procedures. There is need of work as per interest policy along with compulsion activities. It will help resident to be active and happy. Rather than focusing on what is wrong with the resident, it is more better to go with the positives present among them. Rules in case of non-disciplinary action should not be very stringent as they may bring needless fear among the residents. Various curricular activities must be included in improving the social network among the residents. In the disability refuge, nature and dependency of residents coming in varies a lot from each other. Therefore, support and assistance provided to them would always differs. A person may be experiencing various kind of difficult emotions or frustration or anger management and this behavior is different from normal. All due care and support help a patient more than medications and recovery from existing illness is recovered. References: Elizabeth, M.

World civilizations 1500 March 17, 1999 1. Essay form (7%) 2. Tenochtitlan case study (10%) 3. Mozambique case study (13%) 4. Comparison of Tenochtitlan and Mozambique cases (15%) 5. Summary of the gun powder arguments in Stearns (35%) 6. Discussion and critique of gun powder arguments in the light of the Tenochtitlan and Mozambique case studies (20%) In the past wars were fought to gain land, wealth, and fame. Two such examples of this are the battle of Tenochtitlan and Mozambique. These are two battles that disprove the gun powder superiority theory. Certain countries look to get an advantage, by incorporating such things as guns, canons, and steel armor. Some countries look to gain an advantage through superior numbers. Several Army leaders simply believed they were superior to their adversaries. Such as the case in Tenochtitlan. The purpose for the invasion of Mexico is not clear however, has stated above it is usually for power, land, or money. In this case Cortes was looking for gold that he hoped he could take from a primitive people. In April 1521Cortes had reached Tenochtitlan. This would mark the beginning of the battle between the Spanish and the Aztec. Before the Spanish arrived in Mexico, a sickness broke out. This epidemic was small pox. Small pox decimated villages. Small pox caused blemishes on people faces, it caused their bodies to become stiff, and made some people unable to move. "And when things were in this state, the Spaniards came..." (Sources, 70 L.). Twelve Spanish boats had come, traveling the coast and looking for places to land. The Spanish managed to get two boats in. It is documented that these boats came in fighting. "There were deaths on both sides, and on both sides captives were taken." (Sources, 70 L.). It is recorded that at the first sight of the Spaniards the natives ran. W ith the village emptied the Spaniards took as they pleased. As the Spaniards continued they came to a place where the fortress was well fortified. This presented no obstacle as they used their canons to blast down the wall. "and the fourth time finally the wall went to the ground once and for all..." (sources, 70 L.) Once inside, the Tzilacatzin and some other warriors went out to face the oncoming Spaniards. These warriors used nothing more than stones repeal the oncoming Spanish. This sent the Spaniards retreating. Some of these warriors hid in the dense brush, and as the Spaniards came through the warriors ambush them. The Spaniards had come with gunpowder and guns and when ambushed these guns did not help. The selection is not specific but I don't believe the Aztec had guns of any kind. "Then he went and threw a Spaniard down, knocking him to the ground..." (Sources 71 L.). The captives were taken to Yacacolca and sacrificed. Spanish first and all other second. The heads were h ung on skull racks facing the East. The Aztec won this battle but it would be short-lived. The second example is the battle in Mozambique. This is similar to the previously described battle in that the natives seemed fearful at first, and retaliated to win the battle. The Portuguese arrived in the rivers of Cuama in the year 1593. Dom Pedro de Sousa led them. This battle was a retaliation of an earlier battle in which the Zimba had killed one of the Portuguese priests. Dom Pedro de Sousa obtained information about his enemy and quickly raised an army. "... 200 Portuguese and 1500 Kaffirs..." (sources, 65 L.) He also took various pieces of artillery, which he wanted to use on the walls. When this failed he was determined to enter by assault. He had part of the trench filled, through which several of his soldiers were wounded by the arrows being shot from above. The natives also used boiling fat and water, which they poured on the attackers and scalded them. They also used iron hooks, which they would stick through the holes of the wall and grab anyone who came too close and wounded them mortally. Following this encounter the captain ordered his men back to camp so they could rest and tend to the wounded. The captain had an idea that would put his men on World Civilizations 1500 Essays - Mesoamerica, Fall Of Tenochtitlan World civilizations 1500 March 17, 1999 1. Essay form (7%) 2.
