Protestant work ethic

developed my problem-solving skills through my previous work experiences. Nothing ever runs exactly as it should, and that was particularly evident when I worked for Kohler on the assembly line. A job that should have been as simple as repeatedly doing the same task turned into a constant problem-solving battle involving missing parts and part numbers, old equipment, and sometimes difficult employees. These issues gave me numerous opportunities to work with those around me to find out what…

understanding and appreciating a piece of work is often quite difficult without the back-story. Not only does context place the work in time, but also allows us as viewers to further relate our own experiences to what the artist is trying to say. This process of obtaining context through research therefore allows for a deeper appreciation of the given work despite our initial assumptions and bias. My process for understanding a work of art, like many, starts with the work itself. Things such as…

Dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres. The people we surround ourselves with on a daily basis are the ones that reflect what type of person we are. With our company, it is easy for people to judge the characteristics of those around us, and assume we those same qualities it is important that we are able to be surrounded by people who bring positive influence to make the right decisions in life, and so that others will not think poorly of us. Basically, the people one surrounds…

being deluded. Throughout King Lear and Snow Falling on Cedars, characters undergo a series of events where they experience the negative impacts of their wrongful decisions, but later encounter overall growth as human beings. Throughout the literary works, various forces act in ways where their power to overwhelm an individual causes a waste in human potential. As a result, characters refrain from taking action, a storm occurs causing characters to introspect, and characters commit reprehensible…

Each individual’s daily life is completely different, maybe some of them full of activities, some of them may be more relaxed and others more stressful, some people may take healthier decision than others; what it is completely true is that every person has a unique story to tell. Everyday minutes run and we keep following the sense of our occupations, but let’s pretend you could stop time just for one short moment, would you be enough brave to see and accept your mistakes and change something…

Working in retail can be stressful and unfulfilling because of the environments and customers that you interact with. In the short story “A&P” by John Updike, a young boy is easily distracted at his job as a cashier because of the unfulfillment it leaves him as a worker but nevertheless he still abides by the rules in places of the job. The cashier finds frustration in the rules required of him while working. Lengel holds everyone accountable including the customers that come in to shop to meet…

Chap. 7 & 9 Notes ● The people who are ultimately the most successful at working a room are those who genuinely like, respect and trust other people. When we don’t really care about other people, they sense the insincerity and rarely take kindly to it. o I agree with the idea that we must care and be sincere when it comes to networking. This idea holds me from forcing myself to be outgoing. I truly believe that a good relationship is long lasting and we must stop the mindset of getting…

The first job someone has is often memorable in many ways, they are earning their own money, accepting a new form of responsibility, and they’re usually treated horribly because their position is seen as inferior. In today’s world, people who work jobs that don’t require a degree are looked down upon. It is often ignored that the resources that are needed to obtain the education that is required for a white collar job, are not available to everyone. A certain intelligence that comes of blue…

It seems to be more important that these characters keep quiet about issues than to actually follow the rules and social norms. The repeated, extreme emphasis on social rules, like not mentioning these disturbing happenings, implies that the actual work done in this office is unimportant or irrelevant. The unsettling nature of some the behaviors that are excused in this workplace make it clear that Orozco isn’t praising this…

sleep in a little more. That also left extra time for me to work and put in a couple more hours. What also came beneficial with this was that we got to do our work when we wanted to. This was nice because there would be days that I would be extremely busy and I wouldn 't have time to do my homework that exact day. Even though there was due dates on it, the due dates were somewhat fairly apart so that lift gaps to catch my breath and work on other assignments. Another thing that I liked about…
