-------- When Don Henson came to Mountainside Industries a year ago, he understood that his assignment was to bring about tighter coordination among its four divisions. The company had earlier experienced great success, but in recent years competition has become much more serious, and now Mrs. Hill, the owner, recognizes that the company must make its operations more efficient if it is to
- Medicare is not currently in a state of crisis now, but considered and definitive action is needed to avoid an impending funding crisis with respect to the program. - Medicare is funded through taxation of income; any additional funding will have to be derived from cuts in other programs or an increase in the tax rate. - The elderly regard Medicare as insurance, rather than welfare because they spent their working lives paying into the system. This is not an unreasonable viewpoint, and serves to solidify the notion that the population, elderly and otherwise, will not take kindly to substantial cuts in a benefit thought to be an entitlement, rather than a handout. - Whether there should be Medicare at all is a fundamentally moot point.

This is getting into the Industrial Revolution, a time where big business controlled the way millions lived and worked. Production was up and spirits were down. Business was booming and conditions got worse. Populations as well as prices skyrocketed. The U.S. was truly stepping up its game, but at a cost.
The individual states would still have authority to determine allocation of Medicare funds and the federal government would continue to distribute monies to the state. Employers would have the option to provide coverage that supplements the benefits package available under Medicare. This single-payer system would replace the now employment-based system of financing health care. Over the last decade, many Americans have lost their jobs along with their health care benefits. The new Medicare for All programs would offer more coverage than the current Medicare system.
New laws and regulations come about because of social and political changes. Organizations abiding by state and federal laws and regulations may result in the organization spending more money on additional taxes, new technology development, and legal fees. Competition may consist of the startup of a new organization offering similar services and products in the same marketplace, which presents a new challenge. The customers are the most critical in the environment. As the end-users, they will usually improve the organization’s image in the community because of satisfaction with the product or service, or ruin the image of the organization in the community because of dissatisfaction with the product or service.
Advertisement, commonly viewed as a way to promote a product, is more than what it seems. In the present day, critics view advertisements as a propaganda that guides the audience the wrong direction. Mr. Schrank suggest that some people who watch advertisements are vulnerable to the “ad’s attacks.”(Doc. E) However, I disagree, advertisements are informative to our daily lives; without them our world would probably fall apart. They do just more than promote a product; an advertisement helps wage for jobs, educate people, and also explains how to make our lives better.
In Harry J. Carman and Harold C. Syrett’s, A History of the American People, they state that, “As more investors put their money into securities (stocks) in hope of making a quick profit on a speculative rise in stocks, the characters of the New York Stock Exchange was fundamentally altered” (Doc F). Because of the rise in stocks during this period were so high, many people did not have any reasons to believe that it would drop or change anytime soon. So rather than seeing this as a business and investment opportunity to make money, they saw it as an opportunity to gamble to make quick money. In addition, they also explain that, “Liberal margin requirements permitted the investor to enter the market in a shoestring. By buying on margin, the investor had to pay a fraction of the quoted price of any particular security.
Everything that came up under “Challenges” was true for me. The challenges that related to me most were having difficulty managing time and losing interest in long, complex projects. However, the suggested strategies for these challenges are actually very helpful and I will definitely be using these suggestions from now on in both my short and long-term career goals. I learned that I am a Thinker rather than a Feeler – meaning I base my decisions on logic versus values. I have always thought I was more likely to use my feelings to make decisions rather than what my head tells me – but this assessment says otherwise.
Pride A dignified sense of what is due to oneself or one’s position or character. So many different twists and variations of the word “pride”, but pride is what drives people, what makes them persevere and fight through tough times. It dictates what kind of a person one can be, one with too much pride can be unliked and overthrown. Someone who lacks pride could be pushed over easily, but one must find that balance in between and hold it there. In times of kings and queens people would speak of leaders to prideful that they can not see past the truth they do not realize their own corruption.
