I want to start out saying that I really didn’t know anything about Islam, Mecca or the Hajj. So this whole video was quite the learning experience. What I found the most interesting is the…hoops that they have to go through to be completely forgive. Having to go on this journey, if female asking for a males permission to go, and how much it costs. I found it silly that you could pay for a better tent to sleep in – considering that they all supposed to be one and the same. The whole concept of the Hajj was extremely interesting too – a religious journey to see Mecca. The people that go through this would need to have a lot of patience – walking to and from each place, getting little to no sleep. They would have to have patience because this is something that we typically don’t take part in in our daily lives so it would be a whole new experience to go on. Religious endeavors rarely seem as ‘tedious’ when they’re for something that you believe in so strongly. Such as for Christians going to church on Sunday isn’t seen as a hassle, it’s a religious experience and important for us to go through. However, it was a little odd that a building and places had such a huge influence on the Hajj, from walking around the Kaaba, to walking in-between two hills – I just found it odd, probably because I have never gone through something of this nature. What really through me for a loop was the fact that they so easily mentioned that many people die every year simply because of all the…

However, only recently fracking has become much more widespread. Only less than 2% of the well fractures have used the high-volume technology necessary to get gas from shale, almost all of these in the past ten years. This new approach is far riskier and bigger in volume than the conventional fracking of earlier. An average of 20 million liters of water are forced under pressure into each well, combined with large volumes of sand and other materials to help keep the fissures open, and 200,000…

district. One newspaper wrote, “the buildings destroyed were of frame and consisted of hotels, restaurants and stores covering six blocks.” Due to the flammable nature of petroleum and the fact that the buildings were wooden, they were only partially covered by insurance. This caused the owners to endure huge losses. These owners relied on their neighbors to assist them in times of need. For instance, one man had to have help in attaining a new building for his store. The community rallied…

begin to reflect on my educational road, and what I have accomplish, and learned. I have taken many classes where it teaches me about law, the Criminal justice system, how the court works, and the process. Being fortunate enough to learn all this at Everest College, where I did obtain my AA degree in Criminal Justice. The feedback that I was giving at this college will prepare me for law school or for my investigation job at Wells Fargo Bank. In the college I was giving the feedback that law was…

of them are human errors and in the end the benefits of fracking outweigh the risks. If done professionally, fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is beneficial to society because it provides towns, states, and countries with the natural gas they need, and reduces costs by using old oil and gas wells. Fracking is the process of extracting natural gas from in between layers of bedrock below the surface of the earth. The process involves sending large amounts of water and sand, along with small…

Trucks bring large amount of water and chemicals. Per frack, “a well site may need up to 2000 tanker truck trips,”(Hoffman 1). Each well as stated before can be fracked up to 20 times. So for each well, 40,000 tanker truck trips are made. This is not only contributing to the waste of oil, it 's contributing to air pollution as well. A study that was done found that 30,000-pound single axle trucks cause more damage than about, “‘...900 times and 7,500 times more damage than a 3,000-pound single…

In 1979, the Pacific Oil Company began its relationship with the Reliant Corporation, an association of immense consequence for both organizations. Lewicki chronicled this case in Lewicki, Saunders, and Barry (2010, pp. 582-609). Two multinational industrial giants, these companies had much to gain through a contract for the sale of vinyl chloride monomer from the Pacific Oil Company (or simply Pacific) to the Reliant Corporation (or simply Reliant). When representatives from the companies went…

Prentice (2013) describes Stumpf’s situation well in the sense he was spending “too much time dealing with issues of importance to them rather than assessing the situation and dealing with what is truly important to the organization” (p. 136). As the CEO and Chairman of the company, his focus should be the company, but he chose to focus on his own financial status. Additionally, by enforcing a compensation structure of the employees, Stumpf was compromising the integrity of Wells Fargo and…

actual transaction and can occur from processes such as bargaining, research or communication. Therefore, they differ from the actual production costs and arise “when a good or a service is transferred across a technologically separable interface” (Williamson 1981). In order to determine their emergence and amount, Williamson (1985: 7) identified the importance to distinguish between costs occurring ex-ante (before) and ex-post (after) the conclusion of a contract. Additionally, he analyzed the…
