Quartile

It 's good to have a philosophy in the never-ending story we call life. Through the ups and downs of life, humans keep their spirts up at a high level. Ethics also have ups and downs, as if you give hobo money, are it morally right or wrong? In your own mind, it may be morally right or morally wrong. It all depends on your ethical standpoint in life. What is life? I ask myself that a lot. To me I see it as a movie, and when the movies done filming, you 're dead. Life is about what you do to…

the subject of almost widespread dismissal, even condemnation, is the thirtieth president of the United States, Calvin Coolidge. He, alongside the other “inept” Republican presidents of the 1920’s, has been almost universally ranked in the bottom quartile of presidents, alongside such “notables” as James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce (Silver, 1982, p.3). In recent years, however, Coolidge, that stout, implacable “man from Vermont”, has seen somewhat of a resurgence in the public mind and in…

According to the OECD, the United States is the only nation amongst its ranks that does not provide a “statutory entitlement” to parental leave, for mothers or fathers. Though 59 percent of Americans claim to be entitled to leave, lack of statutory protection means that the availability of leave is tenuous at best-- and a large number of low-wage workers do not have access to leave at all.

Sexual, Physical and Verbal abuse have devastating long-term effects on children and their development. Child abuse causes higher rates of depression, an increase in the likelihood of developing an addiction as well as socioeconomic consequences later in life. When a child is abused, they tend to begin forming negative thought patterns, which, after many years will develop into mental illnesses such a depression and anxiety. As well as having severe mental health problems, abuse survivors are at…

This paper explores the results of the Prentice Hall’s Self-Assessment provided by the Organization Behavior textbook (Robbins & Judge, 2009). The test measured several areas including: personality traits; ethics; decision-making skills; communication skills; insights on leadership skills; and the individual’s ability to work within a group. The results of the exam were based on my answers to the questions—from this I have learned how to be a more effective leader, employee, and co-worker.…

Could you imagine a world without tests? I know I would love one! Having a world without tests is something I think the majority of students would like to have, but sadly it is not possible. In school we learn a vast amount of material for each class, and there has to be a way for teachers to determine if you know a material or not. If you ask me, I do not like tests, but I do feel it is necessary for schools to have them. Now, I do not think that all of the tests in the world are necessary.…

Today’s leaders are faced with many challenges. In an ever-increasing global and interconnected society, it is important for modern leaders to be able to connect with and lead a variety of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Leaders must be savvy in the way they interact with employees and stakeholders, but must also consider ways to build a multi-cultural workforce. Spiritual leaders seek to engage the human spirit-mind, body and soul (Benefiel, as cited in Redden, 2010). It is then…

This situation has been documented in many scientific journals, such as one by Xenopoulos et al.," In rivers with reduced discharge, up to 75% (quartile range 4-22%) of local fish biodiversity would be headed toward extinction by 2070 because of combined changes in climate and water consumption, (Xenopoulos et al., 2005). Another paper by Verones et al., explains that when humans take water from…
