But, researchers are not shadowing light on why low income people are poor and often stay that way. A healthy, vibrant family man, and a prize winning journalist David K. Shipler seemed concerned about others than about himself. The Working Poor: Invisible in America, tells us that poverty is the fault of society. The poor faces a system that makes it almost impossible for them to rise. The writer, describes the lives of America’s low wage earners and families living in or near poverty line, interviewing many individuals and narrating their stories in great details.
This lets no person be richer than the next and eliminates the poor and beggars. If the poor and the beggars are gone there is no need to steal and there is no greed, which helps eliminate crime. Even with just these improvements society would drastically get better, but in More’s utopia there are still aspects that make it continue to improve. These other aspects that continue to improve More’s society and push it closer to a utopia include their work and religion. In this society everyone learns a special skill, most of the time these skills stay with in families but everyone has the opportunity to change to do anything they want.
Kendrick Johnson Hrm James Moes 19 September,2013 Case Application 8-B: DELIVERING AT UPS 1. How does the CIP at UPS foster a positive and inclusive culture in the organization? a. Well the program allows managers that have never been exposed to certain diffulcuties of life such as, poverty and inequality it allowed many new mangers the chance to expose themselves to diversity within the work place so that they could better relate to the needs and concerns that most of their entry level employees have. After the managers go through such a unique training program they are better suited to deal with situation that managers that have never been exposed to low-income, inner city people which just happens to be the majority of minorities.
He set up a system that would reward the hardest working and most efficient workers with large financial prizes. The workers were encouraged to skip smoking breaks, take short lunches, and work as quickly as possible, while still paying attention to quality standards. Though challenging, the work environment was viewed favorably by the employees who were interviewed for this case. All respondents admitted that there were serious deficiencies in the system, but that it was generally favorable. The employees accepted that the system fostered competition; however, they agreed that the financial incentives and the freedom from micromanagement were much more important.
Quaker Steel and Alloy Corporation has a small-town feeling to it despite it large size. As a company with deeply seeded Quaker roots, the firm keeps the interest of the Holderness community in mind at all times. Quaker Steel instills this sense of community in all of its employees by requiring all managers above the third-line supervisor rank to work in Holderness for at least a year. This requirement also fits well into the informal environment of the company, which leads to ease of cross organizational personal relationships within the firm. The open and friendly environment that the company has planted in its culture leads to better discussion and analysis of differences of opinion in organizational decisions.
I warn’t lonesome now” (pg 49) This quote is important because it is a key detail that indicates the feelings of Huck when he sees Jim at the beginning of his trip. It reveals to us that Jim fills a void in Huck’s life by providing him with companionship in their adventures. In conclusion Twain examines the theme of friendship to show us that friendship makes Huck’s decision of whether to help Jim escape slavery so difficult. And that Huck makes several comments throughout the book that let us know how seriously he takes his friendships. Furthermore, throughout the novel one discovers another theme that is presented in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, it introduces the theme
Here are just a few analyses that we learned in class: Coach Boone was a great leader from the sense that he brought the team together and created such a strong bond between all the players, but he also failed in other aspects of leadership. He was more focused on his personal success rather than that of the teams. He could often be heard speaking of just himself rather than of the team as a unit. Coach Yoast was a very selfless leader to this team. He could have taken the opportunity to leave his team and coach a different team the next year, but he loyally stuck by his players that he had coached for years on end.
Furthermore these immigrants are taking whatever jobs they can find, and because of this they are doing some of the most undesired jobs in the nation. Some people would argue that the illegal immigrants are taking money from our economy, but this notion is also quickly put to rest, as these workers are putting there money right back into the economy as they buy cell phones, or parts for their cars, or any number of other goods. Because they purchase goods they help other businesses prosper and more jobs are created. Hence the non-legal immigrants are not a hindrance to our society but rather they help it. These people are close to the bottom of our society and yet they provide a crucial role.
Above all else, I believe being a leader one has to make being at work fun. I think if you enjoy what you are doing and do not get up every morning hating to have to go work the employee becomes a more productive worker. I am a firm believer that if an organization treats their employee’s well they will be happier, loyal and more productive to the organization. I believe my leadership philosophies now and as a future leader will be a blend of autocratic leader, innovative leader, constant improvement leader, and a transformational leader. I know this is a lot of different philosophies of leadership, but I do not think there is just one type of leader and to be a good leader one needs to be open to learning new things.
Obama goes on to say that his former pastor is a good man, that he just has lived and grew up in a time where segregation and the Jim Crow Laws were very much legal in the U.S. The anger and hostility of not being able to achieve something of oneself is felt not only in the African American community, but also in portions of the white community. Obama’s solution to ending this anger of diversity and discrimination is to work together and to move past some of the terrible things that have happened, and take our lives into our own hands and take responsibility for our own lives. We need to come together as a nation and improve our health care, jobs, and schools. After reading this speech I must say that President Obama definitely has some great points that made me really think about our society and how the older generations have really affected peoples lives today.
