Cooper. On November 24, 1971, shortly after takeoff from Seattle, Washington, a man in seat 18c of Northwest Orient Airlines handed the flight attendant a note that started one of the most famous cases in FBI history (Pasternak). The man’s name, at least according to his ticket, was Dan Cooper (Mysterious Disappearances in U.S. History), and the note claimed that he had a bomb and that he would detonate it unless his demands were met (Pasternak). Cooper demanded $200,000, four parachutes, and “no funny stuff” (Brad Meltzer's Decoded). At the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, in Tacoma, Washington, he released thirty-six passengers and two crew members once his demands were met (Pasternak).
Sweeney should not let others give him advice. Make all the decisions by his opinion. | Without anyone’s influence, Sweeney is able to make all the decisions by himself. This can reduce decision process time and better performance on the mission. | As the least experience officer on the plane, Sweeney’s decision without other’s knowledge could be unwise and led to mission failure.
Nicholas Carr, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” - A Rhetorical Analysis Nicholas Carr starts this very well written article with a rather emotional scene from the 2001 blockbuster movie – A Space Odyssey. In the scene, the main character of the movie; an astronaut named Dave disconnects the memory circuit that controls the artificial brain of the supercomputer HAL which via a malfunction nearly sent Dave to his death. He then goes over to liken that scenario ironically to what he believes the internet is doing to his brain. His central claim simply put is that the internet is adversely affecting his thinking. He says that as a writer, he has ceased to go deep into the sea of words like a scuba diver but now rather skims through various texts on the internet propelled by hyperlinks just like a guy on a jet ski.
While passing this inspection can be very crucial in influencing the reputations of everyone from the division officer to the skipper, he emphasized there is never an appropriate time and place for gun-decking. He also explained the importance of having
Tool control is important to help keep the work running smoothly and make it more eficent for marine aircrafts and other equipment to operate without any damaged. Keeping accountablity of your tools can keep the flight line running without interruptions for sucess to aricraft meintence. If a tool or piece of equipment was missplaced on the flightline or any where else you would first have to thoroughly look for it. If you cannot find it, he must report it to the proper quaified personnel. If the tool or piece of equipment is not found, the flight line must be shut down until it can be located.
This is because the pilot is the only person you can rely on when flying in there plane. Your life is in the pilots hands from the moment you step foot on the plane. They should do anything necessary to keep themselves and all the passengers and the crew safe. If that means carrying weapons, then so be it. Many say that they don’t want to see any type of guns on a plane, no matter if they are in a pilots hand or not.
There should have been a proper work scope that laid out the deliverables at each stage, along with criteria that measures the quality of the work being performed. The cost was a big one with this project. As mentioned above, a project needs to stay within the budget set forth by the work scope. Unfortunately, the treaty did not specify a financial limit. This type of oversight will not stop a project from being completed – after all, they did build a plane – but with no budget, costs can easily get out of control.
As we saw in Klosterman’s Paragraph, he focused on the negative events that happened from the year 2000 to 2006. At the end of his paragraph he writes things have been better and based on the last 5 years things have become worse for the United States. We can see this through the wars overseas, the BP oil spill and the Obama election. In 2001 the war began when Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked planes and flew them into the World Trade Center. To this day in 2011 we are still fighting these very same wars.
Thanks to the fact that their words mean nothing, the soldiers learn to speak and interact with authority as little as possible, learning the acceptable ways of the bureaucracy. Through the bureaucracy is where Catch-22 comes in. “There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind...All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions,” (46,Heller.) So, as Yossarian proceeds through war he attempts to go home on the account of insanity, where the feebleness of language plays in because no one listens to him, and is in the end forced to face the higher chances of death still, which is
Here he uses himself as an example to explain difficulties on communication, Malcolm X says that “I not only wasn’t articulate, I wasn’t even functional” (Chaffee, 2012 p. 18) it was not about inability to speak, but he was not coherent enough to be understood or to achieve what he wanted. To explain the differences between oral and written expression professionally, I could say that written communication is one of the two main types of communication, along with oral/spoken communication. In one hand, I believe that written communication is formal and courteous and according to Reference for Business site (2011) … One advantage is that written messages do not have to be delivered on the spur of the moment; instead, they can be edited and revised several times before they are sent so that the content can be shaped to maximum effect. Another advantage is that written communication provides a permanent record of the messages that have been sent and can be saved… For these reasons, written forms of communication are often considered more appropriate… (5th paragraph) with this I can support that it provide common benefits for sender and receiver in the communication process, to “improve efficiency” by avoiding interference or misunderstands. But it can also be impersonal, where people may not always read them and there is no immediate feedback.
