The professor comes to be a nice guy, a little too nice, and uses his words in order to end conflicts. In Naples, violence seems to earn people’s respect, and towards the end of the film the professor takes on this attribute of violence, showing that actions are louder than words, that some of the time words won’t get your point across. The main point of the movie that I noticed is that no matter where you go, things are different, even if you are still in the same country. The professor came from an area up north where education was important, where he lived was clean, and made a good amount of money without support from others, while in Naples organized crime was normal, a whole family making income was normal, and the area was not taken care of properly. What may be wrong to you may be right to someone else because of how they were raised within their culture.
Thomas Jefferson and Elizabeth Cady Stanton did a fantastic job in each of their pieces however some words can lose the readers in the process and take their minds from understanding the point to trying to figure out what a certain word means, and with that you can lose attention from the audience. Although it was acceptable back then because the norms for speaking and vocabulary were much higher than they are now, Barry is just relating to today’s average vocabulary. His style is centered on being informal and conversational. He is able to inform his audience of the fallacies of his kitchen and living room appliances and talk to them like they’re human, rather than talking at them as if he was giving a lecture. People don’t have that long of an attention span.
Walgreens Essay Anita Henderson BUSS460 Rich Rawlinson March 7, 2010 In his popular book about business, Jim Collins discusses ways businesses can improve their performance, making a good company a great one. This paper discusses these concepts in regard to Walgreens. Walgreens is a great company to shop for a numerous of items, but the pay scale is downgraded for the amount of business that it produces. Collins begins by dismissing a number of “myths” about what has to happen in order for a company to effect change. The myths are as follows: first, there is the “Change Program,” the idea that all change begins with some sort of “launch event” (Collins, 2001).
The subject matter of his employees was very significant to him; they should always learn and think new things in order to benefit the company and have the freedom to make decision all through the organization. Unlike Mr. Liu, autocratic, who had U.S.-based, with a reputation for non-sense professional management style. Shih was a delegator who would give participation to his employees on decision making. For example, Liu hand brought more of a professional (based on American-individualistic culture) model to Acer since it was believed that the company was “frugal and hard-working, but with little organizations structure or procedure-based administration”. ------------------------------------------------- All these kept on only during the first decade because by the time that Leonardo Liu joined the company, everything changed.

I chose the article BECOMING A CRITIC OF YOUR THINKING by Dr. Linda Elder and Dr. Richard Paul. I felt the message was more straightforward and relatable than some of the other articles I read. This article struck me as a “how-to guide” to improve one’s critical thinking, which is something anyone could benefit from even if one is already a good thinker. I liked how the article first asks the reader how much they really know about their own daily thinking. It’s an interesting question, because as the article also states, most people probably think that “it just happens in their minds automatically,” and that we probably, for the most part, “take our thinking for granted.” I know I am guilty on both counts.
More than describing his reasons, he hopes that many other people identify with his ideas, so he don’t feel as the only one who degrades computers’ function. Berry’s article draws attention of the audience because we live in a society that barely looks up for reasons for not buying not only computers, but also any other technological advance. We live on a pro technology world. Past generations might always seem technology as an enemy because it is hard for them to catch up with technology. Berry’s intention to persuade readers depends whether the reader agrees or disagrees with his reasons.
Also, numerous other facts scattered throughout the article, demonstrate the importance placed on increasing consumption by modern societies and economies. David uses these facts combined with quotes from several personalities in an attempt to shine an objective light into an otherwise subjective argument. The integration of facts and statistics into the article, help David downplay his obvious bias towards the issue. He is successful in steering the reader directly into agreement with his own personal opinions. Through a short article, Suzuki is able to influence someone who is oblivious into his cause.
Creative minds and critcal thinking | Famous Thinkers | PHL/458 | | Edward McClendon | 7/11/2013 | Facilitator: Dane Scott Schnarr | Famous Thinkers When deciding which famous thinkers to discuss in this paper it was easy to pick individuals that stood out above all. Researching individuals in which there is familiarity was not a challenge so the decision was based on interest. William “Bill” Gates always has been an individual of impressive interest because of his integrity portrayed in the media. Reading and hearing about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through history books and on television does not do him justice. Reading the words written by Dr. King piqued the interest to understand it directly from his point of view.
“Talent is Overrated” is the best answer for them. Colvin obtained a degree from Harvard and his MBA at New York University so obviously he is a highly educated person, yet his language in book are not difficult and required high education to understand. Colvin used the language to bring his knowledge about talent and deliberate practice to audiences and he did this successfully even though there are some jargons in the book. The author chosen to write his book in cynical and academic types, for he wanted audiences to get involve what and why people need deliberate practice. Hence, Colvin used academic type to teach people how perform deliberate practice.
