If you 're looking for a unique elephant encounter you 'll find it in Chiang Mai, Thailand at the Elephant Nature Park. This place is an expansive sanctuary and home to many of Thailand 's distressed elephants. They not only save and care for elephants in need, they also rescue dogs and cats. Luckily for us, they 've made it their mission to educate the public about general animal welfare and the torment that many elephants are forced to endure for the tourism industry. Why is that little factoid 'lucky for us ' exactly? They share their park with us to allow us to have an up close elephant encounter in a much more ethical way. They share their stories and spread awareness in the hopes that one day, the elephants won 't face the same troubles in the future. Let 's get into my experience with this park. I should start off by saying that I actually came to Chiang Mai to see this park and meet these elephants, with less than 30,000 Asian Elephants left on the planet I wanted to do my part to learn more about how we can save their species. I was on a mission to meet these beautiful animals in an ethical way. I wasn 't interested in riding them or supporting a company that encourage breeding and wildlife trafficking. This park met all of the requirements for me. I purchased the 'pamper a pachyderm ' package for my excursion. Fun fact, a pachyderm is an animal that is large with thick skin. Anyways back to the story! This tour allowed for me to walk amongst the elephants on…

description of organizational culture. How could this be measured? Measurement Schein (2010) posited that although the impact of the individual founder’s values and principles on the tacit basic assumption of organizations tend to fade with time, some may linger on across many generations. For example, the strong personal values and religious principles of Chick Fil-A’s founder S. Truett Cathy defined the organization’s practices even after a change in leadership (Davis & Lucas, 2007). Schein…

My brother told me that nothing ever works when you look at education as something that you have to do instead of something that you desire to do. My brother told me that you are successful if you try, even if the odds do not work out in your favor if you tried then you have done everything you can do. My brother inspires me because he wants to go to college now, but my mother is telling him that it is too late, which I think that it can never be too late for someone to better their life. My…

cop pulls her over or the IRS audits her tax return she can be sure it’s not due to her race. McIntosh further stated that she can choose public accommodations without fearing that people of my race can’t get in or will be mistreated in the places I have chosen. To relate and compare to McIntosh last statement. This past weekend while out in the mall with my grandchildren, I decided to stop for a bite to eat at the Chick Fil A. As always 4 Chick Fil A was pretty crowded, and I…

Chick-Fil-A: More Than Chicken When most people think of Chick-Fil-A, they think of the Original Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich. It is a hand breaded, boneless piece of chicken breast, seasoned to perfection, on a toasted and buttered bun, with two pickles. While Chick-Fil-A is widely known for the original chicken sandwich, the founder, S. Truett Cathy, wanted it to also be known for having excellent customer service, making sure that each guest has a pleasurable experience, and maintaining…

Closing on Sundays is a decision made by the Chick-fil-A’s founder and it is an opportunity for the employees, and more so, the owners of the business to observe the sacred biblical value of resting per God’s command (Dyck & Wiebe, 2012). The decision is said to have been undertaken because the business did not matter to Cathy, but fulfilling the Supreme command all Sundays mattered more than business. It is a case of utility, but many people would think otherwise. In an astonishing case, the…
