Tier 1 capital

A group of men are sitting inside a hut in the middle of the dessert, the three men are all known terrorists. Suddenly, the hut disappears in a flash of fire and shrapnel, unknown to the men a missile was launched from a circling reaper drone controlled by another man thousands of miles away in Nevada. This is a prime example of a fairly new tactic of drone warfare used by Armies around the world to fight terrorists. Drone warfare is the use of unmanned radio or satellite controlled aircraft to…

During my work as a Teaching Assistant, my role involved teaching intervention and booster lessons in both Key Stage 1 and 2. Interventions are essential in targeting areas where children are having difficulties that are effecting their work in class and effecting their ability to progress and meet curriculum expectations, whilst early intervention is important when considering a child’s future progress. Working in Year 6, I provided booster lessons in Maths and English, which had a positive…

Characterization of Toby If asked, most people would describe getting a ticket as, for instance a speed ticket; a ticket you got for driving too fast. Tickets are given to us by our higher authorities if we do not follow the law. However, for Toby Heckler, that is not the case. Toby is a socially handicapped male, with a rather childish appearance. (Page 37, ‘’On the yellow paper Toby had printed in red ink ‘PRAKING MISTEAK’ and signed his name ‘TOBY’ in a childish-looking hand.’’) The fact that…

final call of the church in Colossians 3:1-15 is witnessed in Colossians 3:14-15 which reads, “And above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” Both love and thankfulness, but especially love, are some of Christ’s most prominent characteristics. 1 John 4:19 states, “We love because he first loved us.” (ESV 1 John 4:19) Again, we are taught to love…

Then on my third try I was in the water Papa Joe yelled “3 2 1 hit it” and I rose again all the way up to the top this time because I kept my skis up. “Yes! I did it.” I exclaimed, I was actually water skiing right behind Papa Joe and his boat. My legs were as stiff as planks, my mind was running away, as my heart…

As Henry walked down Haussmann Boulevard, his beaten and creaky shoes made a squeak with each step. They were falling apart. Most people around Paris knew Henry Raggle as “Rags”, the homeless war veteran that was almost too poor to eat. His best source of income was begging and gaining information on the Milieu Gang. They were the biggest gang in Paris and people payed for information on their movements. Rags didn’t know much about the gang, but everyone hears rumors and whispers of what the…

the US and Mexican border and the US and Canadian border (GCN,2006) (Military.com,2014). These systems are not equipped with armament. I cannot figure out why the Customs and Border Patrol chose to use the MQ-9 Reaper instead of its predecessor the MQ-1 Predator. The only viable option I can come up with is the fact that the Reaper comes equipped with the Synthetic Aperture Radar and the Predator does not, which could be of vital importance along the border while searching for drug smugglers and…

Drones, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to point out, are aircrafts that can be controlled remotely or through pre-programmed missions. Drones are mostly slow moving but they have a huge advantage of the conventional aircrafts. The difference between conventional aircrafts and drones are the fact that drones can stay airborne for up to several days at a time while conventional aircrafts just cannot. They have also been putting much work into reconnaissance technology and missile strike…

According to Brym and Lie (2012), social capital consists of the networks and connections individuals have with others that are of value, as they enable individuals to have more opportunities depending on the amount of possessed diverse networks (p.121). This paper will provide an example of how I was able to use social capital to my advantage in terms of employment, and how this is example is connected to the concept of stratification and conflict theory. Then I will end off with explaining how…

doors to more internships and opportunities that I was able to access and turn into social capital. Not only did I gain experience in the working field, I grew accustomed to interacting with professionals in society. In high school my AP Economics teacher also introduced me to a popular English teacher at my school who offered tips to write my college personal statement. Oseguera talks about social capital as being dynamic in this context, “These resources may be evident, such as financial…
