French Fifth Republic

The Democracy of France France has had a tumultuous political history. From the reigns of absolute monarchs, that led to French Revolution to the empire of Napoleon Bonaparte. Today, France is a democratic parliamentary republic called the Fifth Republic. France generally is a well-to do country, but it is currently having issues. Economic concerns, like lack of growth and unemployment, have shook the country. Other issues, like terrorism, have left citizens afraid and unprotected by their government. So, current French economic and social issues call for governmental reform for the French to trust their government again. Democracy is a form of government that self-governed by the people. In a democracy, everyone is free to participate in the governing process. Democracy guards…

France in the nineteenth century hit on some of the darker parts of modernity on its journey to the France of today. There were many events and attitudes that a good portion of French men and women would like to forget. Many governmental officials, historians, and citizens of that time period repressed or consciously used policies and writings to perpetuate a myth that allowed for these same events and attitudes to fall by the wayside. In recent years, revisionist historians, or historians who…

An Outsider “I wish you could see all the pain and emotion that is built up inside me.” My school and social life was very different in elementary school than how it is now. Back to kindergarten all throughout elementary and a bit of 6th grade, I was in so much emotional pain. I wasn’t happy with my appearance or body, I would always put myself down, had zero confidence in myself and hated who I was. There was a point where I believed everyone who left me out, and made fun of me. I believed…

the playground with a kid I had never talked to before. All my life I had been very outdoorsy and absolutely loved playing outside. Being on the playground was where I was happiest. As I grew up and moved to two different schools from fourth to sixth grade, I had begun to lose my outgoing personality. I became shyer and was less likely to start new conversations with new people since I was out of my comfort zone. By sixth grade however, I had been at Shadow Hills Elementary for about a year…

communication? BRIEF ANSWER Yes. This is due to the fact that reasonable precautions were taken by having the products liability team examine each document, and furthermore, having a paralegal sit in with Mr. Beene while he was sifting through the documents. While the second and third factors are not being disputed solely for the reason that the inadvertent disclosures did occur, and the extent of them was very minor in comparison to the total, the fourth factor also determined that there was…

One time, when the students were playing their states and capitals game, they did work in two groups, boys and girls. The two groups, then decided who would be the advocate, by narrowing down who had not yet been one, then, they played rock, paper, scissors, to make a final decision. When the boys chose, everyone but one student agreed. The boy who did not agree thought it should be his turn and threw a fit about not being chose, Mr. Demchok, ignored the behavior. I figured it was appropriate,…

assigned an individual reading goal to meet by the end of the year but divided into 4 quarterly segments. Since our school theme for this year is ‘Riding the Wave of Success,’ our reading initiative was named the Big Kahuna. The first reward for meeting the quarterly reading goal is a reading hat, which is a navy blue monogrammed baseball hat. One of the additional perks to the hats is that students can wear the hats to school on Fridays. Each additional quarter when the reading goal is met,…

order to do this we set up a project with a three step process to help reach our goal. The first step of our process was to educate students at Smith elementary school about what cancer is but more importantly what they can do to help those who have been diagnosed. The second step of our project gave those students the chance to help; the students decorated covers that go over the chemotherapy bags and small pillowcases that are used by the hospital to have the patient 's rest their arms on…

Theory of Change Management Peter Senge promotes the idea of a Learning Organization as a theory of change management in his book ‘The Fifth Discipline’. Senge (2006) encourages the “rethinking of corporate philosophy” and a commitment to individual learning to establish a learning organization. Individual learning, according to Senge (2006), does not guarantee a learning organization, but without it, learning organization is impossible. Individual learning, therefore, is key to the…

What defines a person? Life has many ups and downs, positives and negatives, and unfortunately my early life had a few more negatives as opposed to positives. The biggest negative in my life was being bullied at a young age and the struggle to overcome it. Being bullied showed me that I can prove everyone wrong and no one person or persons opinion can or should define me and my future no matter the pain it caused. The early years were rough with minor name calling, but the real heavy hitters…
