Closing

In this reflective essay I would like to discuss the 2 common links that I found running through the topics of Engaging India, communication and economics.

throughout our one hour set. As we began our closing song, a feeling of excitement rushed over me! I was so enthralled with the idea of leaving this nursing home and relaxing. Then I caught the eye of a lady sitting front row in a wheelchair; she way crying tears of joy at our performance and was having the time of her life. I remember thinking to myself in that moment that I cannot even remember a time when I was that joyous about something. After our closing song all 30 of us in the group…

Robber Baron refers to the industrial businessmen of the nineteenth century (Stiles, “Robber”). “It conjures up visions of titanic monopolists who crushed competitors, rigged markets, and corrupted governments. In their greed and power, legend has it they held sway over helpless democracy,” (Stiles, “Robber”). Founding the debates over government regulation and private enterprise or opportunity and equality, these industrial titans were either condemned as robber barons or praised as captains of…

Pink talked about ABC which we all know as “Always Be Closing” he stated that for many years now it has been the cornerstone of the sales cathedral. His analogy was “Successful salespeople, like hunters of any species, never relent in pursuing their prey.” So, what he is saying is no matter what you don’t give up and you make that sale.

Despite the claims of the theatre being obsolete, it’s influence penetrates deeper into our existence than many would suspect. Theatre’s social footprint is one of its most recognizable factors; according to the 2012 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA), forty-nine percent of adults that…

the same insatiable curiosity that we humans show, when regarding our planet and the galaxy that surrounds it. NASA is our doorway to the galaxy giving us the ability to explore the unknown that toys with our curiosity. However, that door is slowly closing. In an attempt to lower the debt that United States is facing, NASA’s budget is being decreased each year. The attempt has not helped with anything, America’s debt growing more and more each year, aiding to the fact that NASA is not the…

fact that it was closing. Every day each car was greeted by “Uncle Howie,” the camp owner, who has not missed a day of camp. He greeted us a with a smile each morning, “What a bee-u-ty-ful day,” he would say. This would be the last morning seeing his smiling face to start my morning. Little by little as the day went on I could feel college slowly approaching, breathing, creeping, down my spine. In a way I was beginning to realize that this day was very symbolic. I was, in a way closing the door…
