Awards

the absurdity of Obama winning the award. Humorously titled “Heavy Medal,” the comic depicts the Nobel Committee as a large, wizened, old man. He is shown instilling hope and trust in the newly elected President Obama, without any signs of manipulation of trickery, when he simply awards President Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize. There are no “shady deals” or unscrupulous promises made between the two, the Committee plainly believes that Obama is worthy of the award. The scene is an all white…

I don’t believe Dr. Kligman should have received the lifetime achievement award from the University of Pennsylvania’s College of Physicians. While he was a pioneer in the field of dermatology, I think all of his accomplishments are marred by the way in which he tested the products. When someone is given an award as prestigious as one celebrating lifetime achievement, I think it is important to take into account their entire professional career, both the good and the bad. With that being said,…

good job was done. Awards give someone the motivation to work hard towards their goals. The awards given need to be earned; otherwise we are teaching the younger generation that they do not have to fight for anything. Participation does not warrant a trophy but success does which is why trophies should be given to those who win. The inspiration to work for a goal can be given through the want for a trophy or award. Many people in life are lacking in a purpose or goal. An award can help to give…

The Malcolm Baldrige Award was set up in 1987 with the signing of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Improvement Act of 1987 by the honorable late President Reagan. However, in the last four years, the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award has become the most important symbol for transforming American businesses. The Reason for coming up with this award was to encourage quality awareness and innovation and to actively advertise these winning strategies to United States businesses. So, many…

The video that I chose is from this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards, which celebrates works of excellence in the television industry. It’s Viola Davis’ acceptance speech after she won the Emmy Award for Best Actress in a drama series. She became the first African-American women in the ceremony’s 67-year history to win in that category. She used this large platform as an opportunity to address the lack of diversity in the entertainment industry and what essentially stands in the way of women of…

A trophy is a reward for a specific achievement, and serves as recognition or evidence for your accomplishments. Receiving a trophy has been one of the most special and humbling feelings I have ever experienced in my life. It symbolizes my hard work, dedication, and has been a beneficial memory tool. Trophies can have different meanings for certain people, but with me a trophy symbolizes my long journey to get where I am today. Each trophy can tell its own story, and that is something so unique…

Are people giving kids too much trophies. Lately kids are giving participation trophies for everything. Adults are giving too much trophies because It teaches that losing is bad. There's no participation trophies in the real world. It can also develop narcissistic traits. People are giving to many trophies to children. There now participation trophies for everything, only mildly ridiculous. I understand why they do it, giving them self confidence. Doing it in moderation is fine, but doing too…

When kids reach a certain age to play sports or any type of competitive activity, they earn trophies, medals, and ribbons. But kids that have amazing top performances are not acknowledged anymore because many programs have begun awarding all athletes even though some of those athletes aren’t top performers. Giving out trophies, athletes good or bad, it can carry out wrong representations of hard work. In this reflection, I will discussing whether or not everyone should be awarded with a trophy.…

Why do I deserve an award I believe deserve and award because I come from a single parent family and do my best to not let low income interfere with my schooling. Another reason is because when I went to Auto/Diesel trade school, my classmates weren’t very respectable, therefore my professors couldn’t give the few who wanted to learn the knowledge he was there to present all the time. With that said, it was mainly up the individual to take learning into their own hands. During my first year, my…
