He uses words like momentum, aggravate and promising to create a tone of importance, hope and concern. Although Abramson presents the information in an equal way, I can see subtle traces of his pro-seniority views coming through. When Abramson uses sentences like “an uphill battle against a practice that is enshrined in law”, I sense that he is advocated for a change in the laws and believes it is a benefit to the educational systems and children as well. Just in the title of the article “Pressure Mounts To Ax Teacher Seniority Rules” ,Abramson creates a sort of excitement around an issue that is important, but will take time to resolve and gain either widespread support or will have no impact at all. Abramson does not have any forthright biases, but subtly shows his support for the ending of the laws by using a change in tone.
Murray and Ungar Synthesis In the many recent debates about how to approach higher education, one issue that has constantly appears is the question of students benefiting from a liberal arts based education. Some argue that a liberal arts education is helpful in teaching students the basic life skills, others claim that a more specific field of study is necessary in order to b successful in life. In Ungar’s essay “the New Liberal Arts”, he claims that with a liberal arts education, students can benefit tremendously when they receive their jobs.

Sanford J. Ungar and Charles Murray both conduct and display their own opinion towards the facts they learned through their own strenuous research.

When groups were formed and I was to conduct a peer review on Dominique’s paper, there were a couple of questions I wanted to ask.

Dominique explained she wanted the reader to gain a better understanding of the harsh life these immigrant workers were going through. She also explained that while I was conducting my peer review to make sure the topic was consistent.
DeVry University has the weaknesses in customer services with huge impact on quality parameters following with the opportunities to overcome through better online offerings as well as educational programs in order to grab large market share and has a threat related to the Government Regulation for the profit oriented education industry (Govindarajulu, 1990).

He should consider the alternatives and consequences of appealing the disciplinary action against Laura and work toward a concession on the impending remedial action. Dean Frederick will have to face the consequences of disciplinary action for failure to comply with the University’s policies. The most efficient method of implementing this alternative would perhaps require Dean Frederick to communicate the situation to the University in writing and outline the facts that led to the present situation. It would also require him to admit fault on his supervisory responsibility and most importantly it would require a willingness on his part to do such. Laura Adams was subject to a written reprimand from Jerry Forrest as outlined in the remedial action plan.
Being an extrovert, we are usually motivated by outside factors and greatly influenced by the environment. As I have been reading , I have learned more about the extroverted personality type. I have also learned that having an extrinsic motivation is a means of encouraging an activity such as the company merger. For example, if we joined in and took the merger with open arms, we’d get better benefits across the board. However, if we had reluctance by a significant amount, we’d see the doors close for UT Medical Group.
