Imagine not knowing where your next meal will come from while your stomach aches , you attempt to quench your tremendous thirst with water if you have any, that will undoubtably make you sick when you do not have access to medical care. This is the plight of the impoverished individual. 1.3 billion humans must go through this every single day of their lives when the next is not promised (Shah). Poverty is one of the great problems that faced every major human civilization . Poverty continues to…

atmosphere (Girolamo, 1988, p. 53). Bono (1967) originated the concept of lateral thinking and he also developed techniques for deliberate or conscious creative thinking.

This method is associated with the idea of parallel thinking which provides a means for groups to plan thinking in a cohesive way therefore making thinking more effective. According to de Bono creative…

exhibits traits that paint him both as a villain and a hero. Troy is seen as a character who portrays negative ambitions and values to every person. He succeeds in blocking people out of his life. Through his evil habits and selfish ambitions, he blocks Bono, his best friend, Rose, his dearest wife and Cory, his son, out of his life completely. Troy’s failing flaw is the fact that he is very stubborn and egocentric. His life is full of isolation since he did not welcome views of other people…

In C. Richard Panico’s article “Naked Leadership: Lead to Win Hearts and Minds,” Panico argues that leaders must be willing to invest themselves and become “naked” to the organization. In this paper, I will “dress up” some of the ideas in Panico’s paper by discussing of some of the academic research and issues related to his ideas. The relationship between academic and practitioner literature on leadership is symbiotic. In leadership studies, most researchers either use surveys to test their…

Another weakness I noticed in my work is I would apply my own knowledge and logic to my interpretations, which is a skill that can be great, but it can also backfire. For example, one docent signed something that I was certain was accidental, so I decided to correct her mistake in my interpretation. This was a strategy that I have seen other interpreters use, and know it to be effective, but I found it was the wrong choice for this moment. The docent caught my correction and made me reinterpret…

common people will never be able to achieve this “American Dream,” which is a mental scam in itself. We the people must hold our leaders and representatives accountable for their illegal actions just as the police do with common criminals. The singer Bono once said “the worst disease in the world today is corruption. And there is a cure:…

Fences by August Wilson is a more complex play than what naturally lies on the surface. Wilson writes a series of controversial themes, metaphors, symbols, and dynamic characters to create the play. The first major theme is the effect of Troy’s broken childhood home. His father was abusive which forced Troy to adventure out of his own house into adulthood at an early age. Troy finds life challenging and serves a prison sentence for fifteen years. His father made Troy quit school and help on the…

The Importance of Fine Arts and Music Education in Schools From learning how to play the recorder in elementary school, to starring in the school play in high school, kids around the country participate in music classes and fine arts. However, in other areas of the United States, some students don’t get that oppertunity. Their school either can’t afford these classes, don’t think they’re important, or just don’t fund them. The students that have these music programs and are involved in them have…

a hard time getting a job. After Erin was involved in a car accident, which she wasn’t at fault, she begs her attorney, Ed Masry, to hire her at his law firm company. While working for Ed Masry, Erin came upon some medical records placed into a pro-bono real estate file that caught her eye. After getting permission to do further investigating in this case, Erin begins to find this case very suspicious. A Pacific…

together already? mindset I agonize over. Hell, after $482 million in donations, by now Port-au-Prince should look like Paris! Right? In a July email communication with my friend Marguerite Lathan, a clinical therapist, who has often worked in Haiti pro bono since the earthquake, here’s what she had to say upon hearing about the congressional inquiry into the Red Cross: “It's about time. They have to be accountable. I saw them in Haiti running around in their chauffeured, air conditioned Range…
