NCLB set forth a certain criteria to be met, but allowed the states to determine how they would accomplish it. Therefore, each state handles assessment and accountability differently. This makes it hard to show success or failure of the programs. Supporters and critics alike can cite research that supports their opinion. My opinion of NCLB is it is flawed, developmentally inappropriate, ill funded, ←and→ leaving more students, teachers, ←and→ schools behind than ever before because The tests have turned into the objective of classroom instruction rather than the measure of teaching ←and→ learning.
It is basically a win for the U.S because we take advantage of people, by promoting investments we know thecountry will never be able to pay back; because of the interest and the amount of the loan.It is amazing how a group of individuals can make so much influence and cheat countries around the globe, and funnel money from the world bank in order to do so. It sadden me how they can damage a country, and how they are taking peoples dignity and culture as well as their lands. This clearly shows how economic growth and development doesn’t benefit everyone in a country, for example the indigenous tribes that were being forced of their land for oil.It seems that governments, big business and the banks will stop at nothing to get what they want. They get away with it because we all live in a state of ignorance. I wonder when we will say enough and demand that these institutions conduct their business with honesty, integrity and complete transparency.It’s no wonder that these countries hate the United States so passionately.
BOOK REVIEW FREAKONOMICS AUTHORS: STEVEN D. LEVITT & STEPHEN J. DUBNER By: Arpit Nanda Divya Jain Karan Sarda Prabhpal Singh Grewal Prashant Kumar Pratik Gupta Varun Mahajan Steven D. Levitt is an unusual economist. He doesn't particularly enjoy the math involved, and he doesn't involve himself in global macroeconomic projections. Instead, he is intrigued by the stories that data can tell, and how they can contradict conventional wisdom and show us insights that we would have ignored. He's intrigued by anomalies and unusual patterns of data and the truths that might be hidden behind them. Stephen J. Dubner is a writer for the New York Times Magazine, and had met Levitt while researching a book.
These same individuals trusted and respected Bernard Madoff and yet he showed less than the mutual respect a professional investor should show toward his clients. Family members were not immune to his scheme. In fact, other family members were encouraged to invest and also bring in new investors into the fold of his deliberate hoax of profiting off of the rich and unassuming. Madoff showed that he lacked care and empathy for his clients, clearly a pure dereliction of duty, to provide the best information and protect investor’s financial investments. There were also unethical issues involving the entity that was supposed to secure and watch over those that are investing our money.
He cannot see that he did anything wrong when he fired Eva smith- he was just looking after his business interests. An example of him putting his business first is when the Inspector asks him why he didn’t give Eva more money. ‘Well, it’s my duty to keep labour costs down, and if I’d agreed to this demand for a new rate we’d have added about 12% to our labour costs.’ This shows a clear understanding that Birling only thought about his business and was very selfish towards his work. He wants to protect is reputation. As the Inspector’s investigations continue, his selfishness gets the better of him: he is worried about how the press will view his story in Act 2, and accuses Sheila of disloyalty at the start of Act 3.
But, he knew achieving perfection was impossible, yet he believed trying to achieve moral perfection is what the true American Dream is all about. Gatsby says, “…I carry a little business on the side…you might pick up a nice bit of money. It happens to be a rather confidential sort of thing.” (Fitzgerald, 83) This passage indicates how Gatsby does not earn his money the proper way. His “side-business” refers to his unknown occupation of bootlegging. The reason for Gatsby to participate in this business was to earn a nice amount of cash quickly to purchase glamorous riches, which was all done to attract the attention of Daisy.
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.”- Jim Rhon. A good leader should allow there people to be secure, and allow the people to grow financially, and he/she should be able to represent there peoples values. Philip II didn’t do any of that. Philip was a murderous oppressor, who acquired large debts from his military actions, and imposed high taxes on his citizens which evidently led to his ultimate failure. Philip is called close minded and said to be selfish with his money.
A Raisin in the Sun Essay Have you ever wanted something so bad, and then once you got it things didn’t go as planned? Good things come to those who wait, but when you have the greed for money some people will do anything. When money is on the table, a man will learn who you can and can’t trust. Money should not be put before happiness and the happiness of your family members, but many people forget that when their eager about success. Everyone’s dream is to be wealthy and successful, but that shouldn’t persuade a person to be selfish towards others.
There are endless economic policies that the politicians agree on which fail the libertarian test of both the axiom of non-aggression and basic economics. Many of the politicians and politically active people of the left and right are economically ignorant. They do not consider each and every policy's long term effects on not just one groups of people but all the people. One of the well accepted economic policies of both the right and left is the minimum wage. The minimum wage is a form of coercion in which it forced employers to hire at an arbitrary price that otherwise wouldn't be used if not for the government's intervention.
They can raise and lower it. If they wanted to make it higher or lower, they could. This is usually the most important piece because people don’t want to pay taxes, even if it is to benefit the country. Having our money taken away is not what people want without good reason. Our representatives have to decide on what the cost of improvement is and if the people really want or need it.
