The case study I chose to write about is “It Isn’t Fair”, unfair treatment of wage is increasing more and more and still exists today. The story begins with a woman named Mary Jones, at that time she was a senior at the central university and interviewing for jobs. Mary was also talent and smart at the top one percent of her class, active in numerous extra activities. During her jobs searches, she was offered positions with every company she interviews with.

Many villages and towns celebrate with a special custom on Christmas Day with special bullfight in which no bull is killed or even hunt. (Grigni, J., 1997).

Personal Improvement Project I have always loved the Spanish language and have been studying the subject since 7th grade. This summer, I plan on studying abroad in Costa Rica and staying with a family who lives there. Since deciding this, I realized that I should be practicing in preparation for my trip. Spanish has always been something I am interested in and will help me in my future career as a nurse. That’s why I have dedicated three weeks to learning the language in as many ways as…

An entrepreneur from Minneapolis, Curtis Carlson, started a business in 1938 called the Gold Bond Stamp Company (Lawrence & Weber, 2014, p. 459). He had an idea where different businesses could trade stamps. The use of the stamp system served as an initiative for customers to return for repeat business, and allowed its merchants to differentiate themselves from other competing companies (Lawrence & Weber, 2014, p. 459). The stamp business flourished and showed to be very successful. According to…

bobbed my soaked head out of the water to see my friends all laughing. I smiled back as I climbed myself back up onto the raft. For my first time white water rafting, only falling off once wasn’t half bad. In November of 2014, I spent nine days in Costa Rica thanks to a program called Agora at my school. It’s pretty safe to say it was the best nine days of my life. Throughout the week or so, we did everything from hiking to zip lining to helping plant trees. On our hikes, I saw little poison…

This is the mission statement I have set for myself when I live my life on a day-to-day basis as well as when I journey to Costa Rica to apply the principles I have learned in the Bible. However, I wasn’t always the best at applying this statement to my life. Before coming in contact with Christianity and Bent Tree, I was a huge narcissist. It has taken a decade of spending time…

Plog’s Framework for categorizing tourists was developed in the U.S. Some researchers have questioned in other cultural contexts. Talk to your friends and colleagues about their motives for travelling. Draw up your own conclusions about Plog’s framework. When a destination is visited by large numbers of tourists, it has reached a critical phase in this cycle; to avoid decline, destinations must understand that tourism growth must be planned and controlled. There are five different traveller…

False Killer Whales versus Killer Whales Both Killer whales (Orcinus orca) and False killer whales (Pseudorca Crassidens) belong to the Delphinidae family. False killer whales resemble orcas because of the shape of their skulls, but the two species are actually not closely related (Baird, 2012). False killer whales are found in all tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate seas (MarineBio, 2013), usually in relatively deep offshore waters (Taylor, et al., 2008). In contrast, killer whales are…
