“ (Moore 141). While Moore focuses more on the advertising established into school and companies promoting themselves using schools, Gatto speaks more one the effect that this way of schooling creates the adults in the world. Also he explains how marketing on the school systems is keeping the adults nowadays very “childish” or young in the mind. (Gatto 149) According to Gatto if you strip children of all of their independence, and only develop their trivial emotions, they would never truly grow up. (Gatto 154).
4) I remember in elementary teachers would tell me “You can be anything you want to even the President of the United States.” I know I’m sure not the President now, but that did not stop me from pursuing a higher education and moving forward. I believe if we don’t seize the changes we desire as kids or adults we still have the opportunity to get educated for a better future. Having the ability to read, write, and keep learning gives us a chance to carry on with our everyday day life. Can you imagine our lives without having the knowledge to do either of those? We would be stepped on or possibly be perceived as idiots.
Within in the article, “No Child Left Behind: Test-Obsessed Education Won’t Move Us Ahead” the author, David Marshak, slashes the No Child Left Behind Act. He supports his claim with various political views, opinions, and studies. He clearly states that NCLB will not change anything for better or worse in the United States. Although he has plenty of support for his claim, many people disagree. According to Marshak, relationships and personalization are far more important in a child’s life than academics.
It has come to increase efficiency, reduce overhead, and maximize competitive advantage. Collins emphasizes heavily that technology shouldn't be used and regarded as the remedy to a company and the crash of the tech bubble in the early 2000's revealed this. Collins contends that the good to great companies approach the prospect of new and emerging technologies with the same careful management and deliberation that characterizes all of their other business decisions. These companies tend to apply technology in a manner that is reflective of their "hedgehog concepts", typically by selecting and focusing solely upon the development of a few technologies that are fundamentally compatible with their established strengths and objectives. Collins characterizes the ideal approach to technology with the following cycle: "Pause, Think, Crawl, Walk,
The author argues from a unique point of view that educational loans hold out freshly graduated students from boosting the economy by contributing to other economic sectors such as invest in homes and pay for vocational trips (Applebaum 2). The greatest stumbling block that is caused by educational loans is the limitation that they create on the purchasing power by the student graduates. In actual sense, lazy loan holders calling for free handouts should think of forgiving the educational loan as a scheme of economic growth stimulus initiative and not a call. Not even the new “pay as you earn” initiative is likely to solve the economic situation, at least not for private educational loans (Applebaum 4). Federal loaners may benefit from the new initiative, but, private educational loan holders will continue being burdened with the loans that continue to accumulate serious interest rates with each passing day.
An example of a good speech is the one presented by Martin Luther King Jr. His speech impacted millions of Americans and is still shared and remembered today. One of the main characteristics that stand out about his speech is his powerful, confident voice. It is loud, which grabs the listener’s attention immediately. He also combines a good use of word pronunciation and long, dramatic pauses which gives the listener time to process and take in what Martin Luther King Jr. is trying to say. The strength in his voice tells the listener that he is confident about what he is talking about which is very important or no one would listen to what he had to say.
In 2004 that is when they set out to create a business-ethics index that companies could use to benchmark their behavior over time to help create a clear comprehensive guideline for the conduct of global companies. Some companies have appoint a chief compliance officers Relation With International Business: This topic is one hundred percent an international business issue, because its about the conduct of these business’s. Because over the past several years and the increase in different international business’s developing through out the world, different countries think there has to be more guidelines out there. This topic is taught within our text in chapter 8, the chapter discuses the future of the transnational concepts, the importance of growing and growing into a better MNE. I believe that this concept is used within the 8-2 reading as a big part, the idea of creating guidelines is in hope of creating a better future for MNE.

Due to that they are all confronted with currency exchange changes which can have a huge impact on their business. Currency hedging is a possibility to protect themselves against currency exchange fluctuations. The Harvard Business School Case “Hedging Currency Risks at AIFS” deals with the student exchange organization American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS). The group faces currency risks due to the fact that it receives most of its revenues in USD but most of its costs incur in EUR and GBP and at the same time it guarantees that its prices will not change before the next catalog, even if changes in currency exchange rates alter its cost base.
That parents stress to children the importance of education all their school lives, but they continue to give money things that are less important, instead they should put money towards the teachers who wants to help make a difference in every child's life. Barber believes that parents should actually display their actions that they care and value their education. He explains who are to blame for the lack of quality education in America. The generations before the young and the government have a partial blame in why the school system is failing. Barber's argument is more superior, because he takes the sociopolitical context of education in to account, where as Henry does not.
Simple numbers don’t lie and it’s not hard to prove inequality in Americas education system. If your born a shade of color other than pink in this country your chance for a first rate education automatically lessens, even more so if your born poor. I believe its imperative for teachers to leave all their stereotypes at the door of the classroom and try to understand how different social-cultural influences have shaped their students. We don’t all get the same opportunities at home but school should be the great equalizer, where a student’s success isn’t based on factors they can’t control but by the factors they can. Funding for schools in this country is grossly disproportionate to educational needs.
