Carlos Ghosn as CEO of Nissan and Renault: Can He Rework the ‘Nissan Magic'? â€Å"We realized a few people were worried about the potential for culture conflicts, between the French and the Japanese, yet it was anything but an issue. Social contrasts ought to be utilized as an impetus for change, not as a prop that represses change. You can gain so much from someone who isn't care for you. â€Å"1 †Carlos Ghosn, CEO, Nissan. â€Å"Make sure you are centered around your own kin. Get them inspiration and feeling of possession, at that point you can do your supernatural occurrence. 2 †Carlos Ghosn, CEO, Nissan. Presentation In 2002, Louis Schweitzer, CEO of Renault declared that Carlos Ghosn, the president and CEO of Nissan would likewise assume control over the reigns at Renault in April 2005, while Schweitzer would remain the administrator of the board. With the new position , Carlos Ghosn would lead two organizations Nissan and Renault. As of 2004,Renault held 44% stake in Nissan and Nissan claimed around 15%of Renault's offers. ‘Turnaround craftsman', as Carlos Ghosn was called was behind the business' most astounding turnaround at Nissan.After he turned into the CEO of Nissan in 1999, he had gotten numerous un-Japanese changes in the Japanese organization and had effectively convinced the workers to acknowledge change. Carlos Ghosn was credited for resuscitating the organization from$254million misfortunes and $19billion obligation in 1999 into benefits inside two years. In the wake of taking up his situation as the CEO of Renault in April 2005,CarlosGhosn is probably going to confront numerous difficulties. Heading two distinctive car organizations from two unique nations was first of its sort and industry spectators communicated questions whether Ghosn would have the option to take up the weight and improve the ‘Nissanmagic'.Carlos Ghosn: The ‘Nissan Magic'In March 1999,Renault, the then ninth carmaker on the planet decl ared its union with Nissan contributing $5. 4 billion. Nissan was in misfortunes for a long time from 1990-1999 aside from benefits revealed in 1997(Annexure I) and paid special mind to accomplices to recoup from the difficulties. The brand acknowledgment was exceptionally low and it was evaluated that Nissan was losing $1000 for each vehicle it sold in US. Before the finish of 1990s,Nissan sent out vehicles to Europe and Australia and a few pieces of Asia. The organization was in misfortunes as much as $5. billion, had obligations totaling around $19 billion and was experiencing a poor item portfolio and decreasing brand esteem. Nissan’s piece of the overall industry had dropped from 6. 6 %in 1991 to 4. 9%by late 1990s. Renault simultaneously was growing universally through acquisitions. After the ineffective merger with Volvo, Renault under Louis Schweitzer went into a union with Nissan procuring a 36%stake in the organization. Setting off the partnership was Nissan’ s quality in item plans and refined assembling that mixed well with the designing quality at Renault.For Renault, the collusion would help in global developments in the long haul while for Nissan; it was to dispose of its momentary difficulties that had collected. At first industry onlookers were wary about a non-Japanese director effectively driving a Japanese firm. While Carlos Ghosn was fruitful in reducing expenses and had in some cases forced hard systems during his residency atMichelin3 , many were uneasy on the off chance that he would be effective in Japan. | He was 46 when he joined Nissan and was far more youthful than the center level supervisors in the company.Carlos Ghosn thought nothing about Japan and had no information on the way of life there. He once said that he had a ‘very ambiguous' thought regarding the nation and acknowledged, â€Å"I didn't attempt to find out a lot about Japan before coming, since I didn’t need to have too many assumptions. I needed to find Japan by being in Japan with Japanese individuals. â€Å"4 On the main day, when Carlos Ghosn showed up at Nissan, he took a lift to arrive at his office. As he entered the lift, which was at that point pressed with laborers who were coming up from carport, everybody realized he was the new CEO. Incredibly, at each floor the lift halted, none got down.Finally, when he got down, the workers bowed as he left and returned to their floors. After such an unforeseen occurrence, which reflected major social distinction, Carlos Ghosn acknowledged that it was so essential to get them. Since the main day, Carlos Ghosn had made the social decent variety an impetus as opposed to a support for the organization. 5 Next >> 1]Carlos Ghosn's meeting, â€Å"Interview: The way to ruin†, www. themanufacturer. com, December 2002 2]Parachkevova, Anna â€Å"CEO plots Nissan’s resurgence†, www. thedartmouth. com, May twelfth 2004 3]Carlos Ghosn joined M ichelin in 1974, where he was director and CEO ofNorth American activities and had embraced a few cost cutting activities. 4]†Carlos Ghosn: remaining at the worldwide crossing†, http://web-japan. organization, April fifth 2002 5]†Throwing endlessly the way of life crutch†, 2000 Automotive News World Congress, January eighteenth 2000 Carlos Ghosn: The ‘Nissan Magic' Cont†¦ However, since the start, Carlos Ghosn was in a Catch-22 circumstance as Japanese were not used to tyranny sort of initiative. He realized that on the off chance that he attempted to direct terms, that could prompt wounding representative spirit, and on the off chance that he stayed permissive, it could thwart the required change.Instead of forcing change ,CarlosGhosn achieved the requirement for desperation in tasks by mobilizingâ them an agers. Carlos Ghosn distinguished that the fundamental defect with Nissan’s culture when he took over was that representatives were he sitant to acknowledge the disappointments and considered different divisions or monetary conditions answerable for them. This brought about an absence of desperation among representatives as everybody expected the other would make a move. He found that as opposed to tackling the issues, they were attempting to live with them.Nissan all through 1990s, had been focusing on short-termmarket share development as opposed to long termgrowth and as opposed to contributing its benefits towards item portfolio improvement itwas spending themtowards value acquisition of different organizations particularly its providers. Its item profile was similarly obsolete with old structures when clients ached for snazzy plans while contenders were consistently concentrating on new item structures. By 1999, it had around $4 billion held as offers while its buying costs stayed exceptionally high, around 20-25%more than that of Renault's.The representatives transparently opposed cross-practical groups, as t hey emphatically put stock in domains and sectionalism, which was a significant piece of their way of life. Carlos Ghosn clarified, â€Å"Engineers work very well together, money related individuals work very well together, salesmen work very well together. Be that as it may, when you begin to include a specialist, an advertiser, a salesman, and a maker, here all the qualities of Japan in collaboration vanish. â€Å"6 To conquer the obstruction, he needed to disclose to the workers why the cross-practical groups were significant and how they would affect the general benefits.Carlos Ghosn accepted that the general human propensity was to oppose anything extraordinary. He thought about that by tolerating change, individuals will in general become more grounded, as they comprehend the distinctions and attempt to break down the foundations for such contrasts. Cross-useful groups were framed and workers were engaged with the recovery procedure. This helped Carlos Ghosn clarify his ar rangements and increase acknowledgment without any problem. Through these cross-useful groups, representatives were made to look past their line of obligations, understanding the nitty-gritties of different offices as well.After the cross-utilitarian groups were set up, individuals possessed up duty at whatever point something turned out badly. â€Å"The answer for Nissan’s issues was inside the organization. The principle [idea] we would have for restoration of the organization would be a modified inspiration of Nissan representatives and partners,† he clarified. 7| | Immediately in the wake of designating the groups, they were approached to submit plans to accomplish the most extreme conceivable yield in every territory and inside seven days choices were made. The result was the Nissan Revival Plan (NRP).After the NRPwas reported, each angle from the planning, the arrangement plans and the duties just as targets were obviously expressed. Shiro Tomii, VP, Nissan Japan commented, â€Å"He sets up high yet feasible objectives; makes everything understood to all jobs and levels of duty, works with speed; keeps an eye on progress; and evaluates results dependent on actuality. â€Å"8 Next >> 6]†Carlos Ghosn: remaining at the worldwide crossing†, operation. cit 7]Saadi, Dania â€Å"Nissan's wonder man offers hints to understanding national monetary woes†, www. lebanonwire. comâ 8]David Magee, Turnaround: how Carlos Ghosn safeguarded NissanCarlos Ghosn: The ‘Nissan Magic' Cont†¦ Listening to the workers and encouraging their support in the dynamic procedure, was key part of Carlos Ghosn's initiative.

He accepted that the individuals near the organization could come out with preferred arrangements over an untouchable like him. Interestingly, the Japanese were pleasant , hesitant and never talked about the designs to their chief. Carlos Ghosn needed to over and over disclose to the representatives that he required their perspectives and would wouldn't fret on the off chance that they speak out.This, as indicated by him was the best obstacle. While in France at Renault, he accentuated on collaboration, in Japan he trusted it was not required and rather uniqueness was given more noticeable quality.

Presentation Origin of the Problem In our general public, hunger and under-nourishment is a rising issue for the more seasoned grown-up populace. Around 35%-85% of inhabitants living in a drawn out consideration office, 60% of hospitalized more established grown-ups, and a gauge of 5%-10% of more seasoned grown-ups living in network settings are malnourished (Maher and Eliadi, n. d. ).These insights tragically show that hospitalized and long haul care patients are bound to become under fed contrasted with the older populace in the network. As indicated by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI, 2007), lack of healthy sustenance can prompt genuine or antagonistic wellbeing results. Lack of healthy sustenance has been connected to protracted medical clinic remains with higher difficulties, bleakness, mortality, and regular visits to their general expert (JBI, 2007). There are a few hazard factors (I. e. physical, psychosocial, social, and clinical variables) that lead to ailing health (Maher and Eliadi, n. . ). It is anticipated that by 2030, the old populace in the United States will twofold in measure and surpass 70 million individuals. Considering these forecasts, tending to the dietary needs of the older will arrive at incredible scale and become a perplexing issue. In view of clinical perception, the signs and manifestations of ailing health and under nourishment are frequently ignored. Watching inhabitants in a clinical setting at a neighborhood long haul social insurance office hastened our enthusiasm for this issue with malnutrition.The greater part of old individuals living in ca re homes either have dementia, experience the ill effects of some type of physical handicap, or experience issues gulping, which limits them from sufficiently hydrating and supporting themselves. With dementia, they for the most part don't recall how to eat or how to bite. With different physical incapacities, for example, furthest point contractures, their capacity to take care of themselves is frequently restricted. In case of gulping troubles, their food inclination is regularly adjusted to forestall gagging or aspiration.This frequently demoralizes them from eating because of the surface of the eating routine arranged. With the issues fore-expressed, the occupants frequently need to depend on the staff to help them with suppers. Parental figures regularly add to the issue of lack of healthy sustenance in light of the fact that insufficient time is committed to helping and administering the inhabitants to guarantee they are eating appropriately. It is our activity as parental fig ures to know the indications of ailing health and hazard factors that lead to lack of healthy sustenance with the goal that it tends to be recognized and answered to the doctor or dietitian right on time, before serious issues occur.Various wholesome screening devices, appraisal instruments, studies, and research programs are accessible to help seclude and give forceful preventive treatment procedures to those in danger. The Nutritional Form for the Elderly (NUFFE), Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST), and the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) are instrumental in recognizing and giving intercessions to diminish grimness and mortality. These different examinations help bolster the way that ailing health is ignored, unrecognized, and left untreated by medical caretakers and human services professionals.Other considers locate that despite the fact that lack of healthy sustenance was distinguished, no intercessions were established to treat this developing concern. Noteworthine ss of the Problem for Nursing In a medical clinic based setting, there are a few distinct gatherings and divisions that manage quiet consideration. These offices and gatherings comprise of nutritionists, specialists, social laborers and different orders. In any case, the medical attendants are at last liable for the whole consideration of the patient all through their stay.Nurses understand that numerous older patients come into the clinic undernourished or malnourished identified with their being on a fixed salary, having diminished access to food, having poor information on sustenance, or being reliant on others for food arrangement. These old patients here and there have ceaseless ailment, for example, misery, malignant growth, diabetes, renal disappointment, and cardiovascular infection that prompts lack of healthy sustenance or under-nourishment (Briggs 2007). Under-sustenance is a wide spread issue that generally brings about the older remaining in the medical clinic longer id entified with a postponement in recuperation, more difficulties, and higher mortality rate.That is the reason it is significant for attendants to do a point by point appraisal upon admission to forestall these issues or issues. It is the nurse’s duty to accumulate all the foundation data about a patient during the evaluation time frame. This will assist with diagnosing the dietary status from the earliest starting point of the patient’s care. A portion of the data that is gathered during this time, for example, the patient’s mental status, permits the nursing group to distinguish if the patient is arranged or has issues with dementia.According to Briggs’ 2007 article, dementia is a typical reason for under sustenance, just like the antagonistic impacts of drugs, for example, digoxin and some antidepressants. Antihistamines, angiotensin-changing over catalyst inhibitors, and lithium zinc lack can adjust a patient’s taste and smell. Thus, the attenda nt needs to gather a drug list that is current (Briggs 2007). During this procedure, attendants ought to pose inquiries that will uncover data about the patient’s clinical history. This is done to recognize potential maladies that affect the patient’s wholesome status.Nurses should utilize all assets accessible to them in the wake of gathering information to help with care of the patient. It is significant for the medical caretaker to know the strategies and systems at the

The main claim is that if more hybrid and electrics are produced, the more traffic accidents will occur. To make this argument, they provided two reasons. The first reason is cars with engines that produce no sound leads to more accidents. To support this reason, they found out through car testing that sound coming from the engine is produced when cars travel at high speeds. These sounds serve as warning signals to those who are crossing the street, like pedestrians and bicyclists. The second reason is that older people and children are endangered.

Oranges by Gary Soto Essay - 653 Words

Oranges By Gary Soto Gary Soto was born April 12, 1952, in Fresno, California to Mexican-American parents. His grandparents emigrated from Mexico during the Great Depression and found jobs as farm laborers. Soto grew up poor in the San Joaquin Valley and learned that hard work pays off through chores, such as moving lawns, picking grapes, painting houses, and washing cars. When Gary was five his father died as the result of a factory accident, and his mother was left to raise her three children with the help of her parents. Soto describes his family as an illiterate family. They did not have books and were not encouraged to read. In fact, Gary did not start writing poetry until he was in college.

Soto talks about sacrifice, and we all go through that. What we do to please other people. The boy had to give up his orange because he didnt have enough money. He told his girlfriend that she can chose any kind of candy found in the isle, and she chose a chocolate bar that cost a dime, now the boy only had a nickel and a pair of oranges in his pocket. Instead of feeling embarrassed and cheep in front of his new girl, the boy decided to put up the nickel and an orange on the counter for the saleslady. Oranges are rare in the winter and their encounter might be precious. They convey a powerful feeling. Making fire in the hands represents that he is in love. That he feels God like, he feels tough like he can do it all when hes around his girlfriend. The tone of the poem is simple with broken down sentences. Adolescent love is simple much like childhood love. There are the sweaty hands, heavy breathing, butterflies in the stomach, but when kids fall in love, its not true love, it most likely is just a crush. The words that are used in the poem are not complex but short and meaningful.

“Social Classes Role in Bringing About Change During the...

The industrial revolution, a period of transition and innovation, inevitably brought with it changes. Life for both rich and poor was changed. The Industrial Revolution brought about the birth of two classes: The middle class and the working class. In the article â€Å"The Communist Manifesto† (1848) by Karl Marx, it states that â€Å"Marx saw the oppression of the worker by those who owned means of production.†(1) Did the Industrial Revolution benefit both, or yet cause grievance in one and be beneficial to the other.

Summary of 12 Years A Slave free essay sample

Solomon Northup was born a free man in Minerva, New York, in 1808. Little is known about his mother, whom his narrative does not identify by name. His father, Mintus, was originally enslaved to the Northup family from Rhode Island, but he was freed after the family moved to New York. As a young man, Northup helped his father with farming chores and worked as a raftsman on the waterways of upstate New York. He married Anne Hampton, a woman of mixed (black, white, and Native American) ancestry, on Christmas Day, 1829. They had three children together. During the 1830s, Northup became locally renowned as an excellent fiddle-player. In 1841, two men offered Northup generous wages to join a traveling musical show, but soon after he accepted, they drugged him and sold him into slavery. He was subsequently sold at auction in New Orleans. Northup served a number of masters—some brutally cruel and others whose humanity he praised. After years of bondage, he came into contact with an outspoken abolitionist from Canada, who sent letters to notify Northups family of his whereabouts. An official state agent was sent to Louisiana to reclaim Northup, and he was successful through a number of coincidences. After he was freed, Northup filed kidnapping charges against the men who had defrauded him, but the lengthy trial that followed was ultimately dropped because of legal technicalities, and he received no remuneration. Little is known about Northups life after the trial, but he is believed to have died in 1863. Twelve Years a Slave was recorded by David Wilson, a white lawyer and legislator from New York who claimed to have presented a faithful history of Solomon Northups life, as [I] received it from his lips (p. xv). Dedicated to Harriet Beecher Stowe and introduced as another Key to Uncle Toms Cabin, Northups book was published in 1853, less than a year after his liberation. It sold over thirty thousand copies. It is therefore not only one of the longest North American slave narratives, but also one of the best-selling. The first two chapters of Twelve Years a Slave relate the Northup family history, Solomons marriage to Anne, his employment as a raftsman, a farmer, and a fiddle-player, and his abduction. Promised one dollar for each days services and three dollars for every show that he played, Northup travels willingly with the two con artists to New York City and then to Washington, D. C. (p. 30). Their ruse is thorough: the men perform a vaudeville show of sorts in Albany, and they convince Northup to obtain free papers before leaving New York. However, once in Washington, the men offer him a drink that causes him to become insensible, and when Northup awakens, he is alone, in utter darkness, and in chains (p. 38). The narrative expresses his amazement at discovering a slave pen within the very shadow of the Capitol! (p. 43). Northup is sold to the notorious Washington-based slave trader James H. Burch, who brutally whips him for protesting that he is a free man. While in the slave pen, he makes the acquaintance of several other slaves, including Eliza, whose sad history he relates in detail (pp. 50-54). The slaves are handcuffed and transported together via cars and steamboats to Richmond and then to New Orleans. Their experience aboard the steamboat is a miserable one: sea-sickness rendered the place of our confinement loathsome and disgusting (p. 68). Northup plans a mutiny with two of his fellow slaves, but the plan is foiled when one of them contracts smallpox and dies (pp. 69-72). Northup and the rest of Burchs gang are delivered to Theophilus Freeman, a New Orleans slave trader who informs Northup that his new name is Platt (p. 75). After surviving a bout of smallpox, Northup and Eliza are purchased by a Baptist preacher named William Ford. Touched by Elizas pleas, Ford attempts to purchase her young daughter Emily as well, but Freeman refuses to sell her. Ford proves to be a kind master; Northup writes that there never was a more kind, noble, candid, Christian man (p. 90). Fords plantation is located several hundred miles northwest of New Orleans, in the Great Pine Woods along Louisianas Red River. Northup is put to work stacking and chopping logs at Fords lumber mill, and he decides to reward his masters kindness. Realizing that Ford ships his lumber by land at great expense, Northup devises a set of rafts to deliver them by canal, greatly increasing Fords profits. I was the Fulton of Indian Creek, he recalls (p. 99). He also builds a loom for the plantation that worked so well, I was continued in the employment of making looms (p. 103). Despite (or perhaps because of) his value as a laborer and de facto engineer, Northup is sold in the winter of 1842 to John Tibeats, a quick-tempered carpenter to whom Ford had become indebted (p. 103). Unlike Ford, Tibeats is never satisfied, though he works his slaves from earliest dawn until late at night (p. 107). When Tibeats attempts to whip Northup for a dubious offense, Northup fights back, and with his foot on the masters neck, he whips Tibeats until my right arm ached (p. 111). When Tibeats and two associates attempt to lynch Northup, a kindly overseer (armed with pistols) intervenes and saves his life. Because he had not yet paid Ford the full amount for Northup, Tibeats is compelled to spare him for a time. Later, when he attacks Northup with a hatchet, the slave again bests the master, and this time he flees from the plantation, chased by hounds. Northup escapes by running and swimming through the Great Pacoudrie Swamp, evading water moccasins and alligators (p. 139). He makes his way back to Fords plantation, where he is protected from harm. Persuaded by William Ford that killing Northup will only bring him the condemnation of his peers as well as financial loss, Tibeats hires Northup out to cut sugarcane in the Big Cane Break farther down the Red River. Around this time, Northup learns that Eliza has died of malnourishment and grief at the loss of her daughter (pp. 159-160). Soon afterwards, Tibeats sells Northup to Edwin Epps, a repulsive and coarse cotton planter whom Northup describes as being devoid of any redeeming qualities. (p. 162). The second half of Northups narrative is chiefly devoted to describing life on a cotton plantation. He provides detailed descriptions of the processes of planting, cultivating, and picking cotton (pp. 163-168), character sketches of his fellow slaves (pp. 185-190), and gradations of punishment for various offenses (pp. 179-180). As he was periodically hired out to sugar plantations as well, Northup describes the methods of planting, harvesting, and processing the cane in similar detail (pp. 208-213). Though his account reveals the misery and despair of field slaves, like many other slave narratives, it also reflects the wry humor with which Northup endured his situation. For example, in describing the meager rations allotted for each weeks subsistence, he quips that no slave of [Edwin Eppss] is ever likely to suffer from the gout, superinduced by excessive high living (p. 169). Likewise, he begins his description of slave huts by stating that the softest couches in the world are not to be found in the log mansion of the slave (p. 170). Ironic metaphors and understatements such as these render Northups account all the more compelling, leavening the extent of his degradation with a wry and persistent sense of humor. Twelve Years a Slave occasionally ventures into nature writing and ethnography, as Northup describes southern flora, fauna, and culture from the perspective of a northern traveler. Narrating his relocation to work as a cane-clearer after his fights with Tibeats, Northup writes, we were now in the midst of trees of enormous growth, whose wide-spreading branches almost shut out the light of the sun . . . The bay and the sycamore, the oak and the cypress, reach a growth unparalleled, in those fertile lowlands (pp. 154-155). Northup seems to find the talk and behavior of Southerners equally interesting; he frequently quotes and explains colloquialisms, such as the verbs allowed (p. 153) and toted (p. 167). Remarkably, he compliments some aspects of (white) southern life: whatever their faults may be, it is certain the inhabitants [of] the interior of Louisiana are not wanting in hospitality (p. 159). He also repeatedly notes the abilities of female slaves in a manner that suggests a sort of proto-feminist sensibility. Northup praises the lumberwomen with whom he clears cane as excellent choppers who were equal to any man at piling logs (p. 156). On the cotton plantation, he observes that women plow the fields and tend their animals precisely as do the ploughboys of the North (p. 164). When it comes to picking cotton, Patsey is queen of the field, for her fingers possess a lightning-quick motion—the very dexterity that Northup lacks (p. 188). Whether his subject is the Southern landscape or the Southerners themselves, Northup frequently writes with the bemused curiosity of an intellectual tourist. Northups first attempt to write a letter home—with a duck feather and ink that he produced from white maple bark—is thwarted when the white field-laborer in whom he confides exposes the plan to Edwin Epps. However, Northup had been savvy enough to request the favor without entrusting the letter, so he is able to deny the allegation and convince his master that it is spurious. Later, he meets a Canadian carpenter (and outspoken abolitionist) named Mr. Bass, who agrees to mail several letters for him. Both men realize the significance of the act: Northup notes that my previous ill-fortune had taught me to be extremely cautious, and Bass advises him on the great necessity of strict silence and secrecy (p. 269, p. 271). Indeed, the letters that Bass writes for Northup inform the recipients that he that is writing for me runs the risk of his life if detected (p. 275). After a lengthy delay that causes Northup to despair of ever being rescued, he is found and liberated by Henry B. Northup, a member of the same white family that his father had served years before. Northup later learns the causes for the delay: first, his wife had to prove to the Governor of New York (Washington Hunt) that Solomon was a free man who had been abducted; next, Governor Hunt had appointed Henry Northup as an official state agent to rescue Solomon; Henry Northup had then negotiated with former Louisiana Senator Pierre Soule, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Nelson, and Charles M. Conrad, U. S. Secretary of War, to provide federal support for his mission (pp. 290-292). Even after all of these careful arrangements, Henry Northup still struggled to locate Solomon, because no one in Louisiana knew him by his real name. It was only a chance encounter with the carpenter Bass that revealed Solomons location—and that he was now called Platt (p. 298). With this knowledge and the help of a sympathetic sheriff, Henry Northup was able to rescue Solomon Northup. The final chapter outlines the legal proceedings that followed—in New Orleans, where the men received a legal pass to leave the state; in Charleston, South Carolina, where Henry was challenged by customs officials for not registering Solomon as a servant; and in Washington, where the two filed charges against Solomons former captors (pp. 310-319). The narrative concludes with Solomons reunion with Anne, his daughters, and a grandson whom he had never met. The childs name was Solomon Northup Staunton (p. 320).

In pursuit of the American dream an analysis of Willa Cathers O Pioneers

O Pioneers, by Willa Cather, is set about a decade to the 19th century – 1880-1900. O Pioneers depicts the lives of the Bergsons – Joe and his wife, their daughter, Alexandra, and their sons, Lou, Oscar, and Emil, as they explore their lives and the vast Nebraskan land over a couple of decade s.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on In pursuit of the American dream: an analysis of Willa Cather’s O Pioneers specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The settlers into Nebraska, for instance, the Bergsons, mainly originated from European countries such as Sweden and Norway. The immigrants were farmers and ranchers whose aim was to obtain food for themselves and their families, as well as to rear animals in the farms for economic purposes. John Bergson’s struggle for survival as he endeavors to raise his family captures the life story of most of the early immigrants. He strives to establish himself econom ically in a tough and unforgiving environment: â€Å"In eleven years, John Bergson had made but little impression upon the land he had come to tame† (Cather 6). The early immigrants, as illustrated by the Bergson’s case, were in an invariant struggle for survival. Therefore, the immigrant experience was one of struggle and hardship in an effort to tame the wild Nebraskan land for their farming and habitation. The weather patterns were also a contributing factor in making the immigrants’ early experiences tough. John Bergson loses his entire flock in one winter as he tries to settle in Nebraska (Cather 6). Even after his death, his children have to contend with famines that make the life for the early immigrants almost unbearable. Sixteen years after John Bergson’s death, â€Å"†¦Came the hard times that brought everyone on the divide to the Brink of despair; three years of drought and failure†¦Ã¢â‚¬  (Cather 28). Therefore, the early immigrant s were in a constant battle for survival against the vagaries of a harsh climate that usually dealt a heavy blow on their best-laid plans and actions. The experiences of the characters in the novel portray the endeavors of the early immigrants’ pursuit of the American dream. Primarily, the immigrants left their native countries to seek a better life (Veracini 110).Advertising Looking for essay on american literature? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More The instinct to forgo the comforts, which a home country offers by default and then sail across the oceans to a then wild and untamed America, was indicative of the immigrants’ spirit of adventure and the search for a better life. At the time when O Pioneers is set (1890-1900), many immigrants from Europe were still moving to America in numbers. The Bergson family is originally from Sweden, and The Divide – the location in Nebraska where the novel is set, has ma ny other Swedes, Norwegians, Russians, and natives from other European countries. At the very core, these immigrants sought a better life for themselves and their families. The very act of moving such vast distances in search of a better life signifies the immigrant’s pursuit of the American dream. The experiences of these immigrants, for instance, John Bergson, speak a lot about the hard times they were willing to endure: â€Å"Bergson had spent his first five years on the Divide getting into debt, and the last six getting out† (Cather 34). The early immigrants, in their pursuit of the American dream, gave their all; the harsh climate and the extreme hard work involved in taming the wild lands of Nebraska took a toll on their health and even lives. Most of the early immigrants died early or were plagued by diseases in their middle ages; for instance, Bergson dies at a comparatively young age of forty-six years, having spent his entire life trying to better it. Ivar, o nce a prosperous farmer on the Divide, eventually loses his farm and stock due to the harsh and unpredictable weather conditions, leaving out his last days as a helper at Alexandra’s home. Therefore, for some characters like John Bergson and Ivar, the American dream is hardly realized in their lifetime; John Bergson’s children are the ones who eventually get to live the stable and prosperous lifestyle that their father might have envisioned. The American dream is also realized by the acts of various characters in the novel. The American dream encompasses acts of benevolence and humanity that make society better and Alexandra’s actions portray this. From a young age, she shows a desire to make the lives of those around her better. She takes care of her younger brother, Emil, in the beginning of the novel and exhibits a leadership streak at an early age. When their father dies, she is designated as the head of the family ahead of her brothers, Lou and Oscar. Subse quently, for nearly two decades, she leads the Bergson family towards prosperity. She is friendly and offers food and shelter to some members of the community at the Divide for whom the famine and draught has taken a huge toll.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on In pursuit of the American dream: an analysis of Willa Cather’s O Pioneers specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Alexandra practices modern farming techniques that make her farm prosperous and she shares her fortunes with the less fortunate members of the society. Emil, her younger brother, also displays selfless attitudes by refusing to pursue a romantic interest in Marie Shabata. Actually, Emil moves away from the Divide in order to give Marie’s marriage the respect that it deserves. Although Marie’s husband, Frank, in a fit of jealousy later shoots him, Emil does not fall into the temptation of courting another man’s wife even thou gh both he and Marie had a deep affection for each other. Furthermore, Alexandra’s benevolence appears again when she pardons Frank even after he murders her brother, Emil. Amongst the many reasons that immigrants had for immigrating to the US in the 1800s, the quest for a new life experience; a new start, was prominent. By themselves, the immigrants were adventurers, ready for the challenge that new lands and climate offered. For instance, Alexandra describes her own mother’s willingness and readiness for challenge aptly. She states that, if her mother â€Å"were cast upon a desert Island, she (the mother) would thank God for her deliverance, make a garden, and find something to preserve† (Cather 58). Almost as an innate characteristic, most of the immigrants were adventurous and were always ready to take up any challenge that settlement in a new environment brought. Even in the settled lands of America, many of the immigrants were always moving from one locali ty to another in search of better land for farming, better jobs, and better weather conditions (Post 460). For instance, Carl Linstrum and his family move from the Divide when his father secures a better job at a cigar factory, and this almost nomadic nature of the early settlers drove them initially to move away from their European countries. In conclusion, O Pioneers by Willa Cather is a fitting tribute to the adventurous spirit that immigrants to the US have always had. In search of a better life, many immigrants, as shown in the novel, made huge sacrifices in an attempt to live the American dream. One is tempted to believe that, the sense of adventure, sacrifice, and benevolence captured in the novel have run through the generations to this day, bequeathing to the US a characteristic that makes it the great nation that it is today.Advertising Looking for essay on american literature?

Desperate Measures essays

Desperate Measures essays Desperate Measures Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. often stood up for something that is not popular, but an issue that is morally right. Some of his ideas included moderation and extremity. He practiced non-violence and peaceful protest. In his letter from a Birmingham jail he states, "In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps. The first is to determine whether there are injustices alive. The second is negotiation between the two-arguing parties. The third and fourth step is self-purification and direct action."# I believe in the saying, "Desperate times call for desperate measures." I do not believe that Dr. King would disagree with me, but his approach to a situation would be different from mine. I have used nonviolence to solve problems, but sometimes that always does not work. Sometimes one has to use alternative measures to get a point across. Many people remember the case of Rodney King. Rodney King became a reluctant symbol of police brutality a decade ago when amateur photographer George Holliday provided evidence that was hard to ignore. The videotape Holliday shot showed several white Los Angeles police officers using their batons to beat King, who had led them on a car chase after they tried to stop him for speeding, was broadcast around the world. The public and the media supported Rodney King and felt the police officers were wrong. But a Los Angeles jury seemed to ignore the video evidence. And when the four policemen charged with the beating were acquitted, it set off the worst riot in U.S. history. The King beating was followed by criticism of how police handled the 1992 riots and later the O.J. Simpson murder case. And now, the department is struggling with a corruption scandal in its Rampart Division that has led to charges against five officers, dismissal of more than 30 others and more than 100 convictions being overturned.# ...

Cultural Anthropology Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2000 words

Cultural Anthropology - Essay Example Sir Edward Taylor gave one of the earliest definitions of anthropology as â€Å"A culture or a civilization is a complicated package which includes knowledge, ideas, beliefs, morals, values, style of living and any other capabilities acquired by a human being when he becomes a member of any society.† Cultural Anthropology is supported by ethnography (Ethno meaning people graphy meaning writing). Whatever data is collected by anthropologists through observations, interviews, questionnaires; it is captured by â€Å"writing† it. This â€Å"writing† is very similar to the field studies or case reports which we make these days. These â€Å"writings† are used to describe the human societies, their cultures, their style of living, customs, languages, food, marriages etc. Ethnography is the backbone of cultural anthropology. Without the written descriptions of civilizations and human societies, it would be impossible for the future generations to learn of a particular cultural/nation or society that existed in the past. There are various ways through which an anthropologist can collect data for ethnography. The most common and the easiest way to collect data is by observing the participants. Anthropologists often study different human societies by living with the participants and observing them. Another common method often used by anthropologists is by interviewing the people of a society. Interviews can vary between small peep talks with the citizens or can involve long detailed conversation covering various topics.The third method is by asking the participants to fill in the questionnaires.

Critque essay Essay Example for Free

Critque essay Essay In the story â€Å"The Operation,† by Pensri Kiengsiri , a story that has a third persons’ point of view. The reader learns that Kamjorn, the father of the kid, don’t have much affection to Danu because Danu is a victim of polio which made Danu a crippled kid. Its conspiracy leads the reader into having a feeling of sympathy for the boy. And the story’s setting, contributes well to the growing sympathy of the readers to Danu, as Kiengsiri’s treatment of timing cause the readers to anticipate a shocking things that’s to unfold. The time at which â€Å"The Operation† is set introduces an element of tension between the parents. Kamjorn informed the readers that when he taught about going to Bangkok he first wanted to see his best friend, rather to go to the hospital which is his main reason of going to Bangkok; it is â€Å"his mind strayed to other days in Bangkok, student days and to the old school mates, he would have a chance to look up. † As the reader already knows that Kamjorn intends to catch up with his old friends, the very mention of â€Å"strayed to other days† evokes the sense of a plan that will certainly make sadness to the boy’s feelings. The added suggestion of â€Å"chance to look up† introduces an atmosphere of uncertainty: that planted to the reader’s mind is the notion that all is not normal and right to the world. The sense of uncertainty to Kamjorn that he will not go to his son and doesn’t show to his son it is a big factor to his son operation. Just as the time in which â€Å"The Operation† is set infuses the story with an atmosphere of sadness, so do the physical surrounding in which the bulk of plot unfolds. â€Å"When Kamjorn reached Bangkok, he went to meet his friend and to actually catch up with them. When his daughter haven’t seen any sign that either one of their parents arrived, she was worried and called to their house and somehow convinced her mother to travel. † Both things added to the reader’s sense that there’s something is not right and that something imminent is about to occur. This atmosphere of imminence increases as their mother went to the train and hasn’t heard anything from her until the operation is almost finished â€Å"an accident on an express train†¦fatalities†Ã‚  that’s the only words Kamjorn’s mind ever digested before he fainted. For it is only in the final conversation of the story. The imminence that happened to Kamjorn’s wife that caused him to faint. It has successfully concealed the true sense of Kamjorn tears last before he fainted. Hence, the manner Kiengsiri described the time and setting of â€Å"The Operation† serves to greatly enhance the effect of this tale upon the reader. In accompanying the story’s characters into a world thet grows steadily more gruesome at every turn, the reader’s feeling of sadness and foreboding increases, the reader is doubly troubled the disturbing revelation made in the story’s final conversation. Kiengsiri’s use of setting and timing in this story mirrors the special effects employed in dramatic movies-effects that have the viewers wiping their tears, totally absorbed in plot and atmosphere. It is good that a 6 page short story can evoke with words the same response that movie makers use millions of dollars, efforts and truckloads of technology to create.

Change Management Plan

This document will cover Riordan Manufacturing’s current management plan and the new proposed plan. It will also cover how the management plans on changing this plan over the next 12 months. Change Management Plan Riordan Manufacturing is a company which operates its official system like a bureaucracy. Every division has a manager and that manager responds to their manager who then reports to the president and CEO Dr. Michael Riordan. The bureaucracy is established like a matrix system. Every division consists of those who perform specific jobs. Every division has their own informal systems. These informal systems are created by building working associations collectively. Riordan motivates every worker to report any problems that they may have directly to their supervisor. This lets every worker, as stated in Riordan Manufacturing’s Worker Handbook, â€Å"Our experience has demonstrated that when workers deal openly and directly with administration, the work atmosphere can be fantastic, interactions can be obvious and attitudes can be optimistic. † By opening up the door to open interaction with all administration it improves worker behavior since they are capable to convey their values and problems. When workers are motivated to express themselves freely it increases the dedication to the organization and increases job satisfaction. Although Riordan Manufacturing desires to apply a fresh client administration method, Riordan Manufacturing must continue to adopt the matrix structure which they presently have set up. By setting up a fresh client administration system it will let every place be capable to assess the info for every client regardless of what place they would be at. Maintaining the existing matrix system will let and continue to improve team attempts to develop the complete work which is expected from every division. Riordan Manufacturing is a plastics production organization which employees more than 500 individuals. They have organizations in Albany, Georgia, Pontiac Michigan, Hangzhou, China, and San Jose, California where their company head office is located. Riordan items contain plastic drinks cans, customized plastic components, and plastic fan components. Their major clients are auto and plane component producers, soft drink producers, Department of Defense, and appliance producers. Worker conduct affects how they work and react to their work, managers, and clients. The company tradition at Riordan contains equity, confidence, commitment, have an inventive and team work atmosphere, impairment accommodations, performance assessments, worker rewards for example 401K, academic help, health and life insurance, respect vacations, honor vacations, assistance with day care, and employees compensation insurance coverage. Riordan seems to be a production organization which tries to become a choice for their clients rather than being a problem to their clients. Although this organization might be a great organization they just like any other producer have issues that must be tackled together with modifications which might influence the organization for the organization to remain in the loop with present economy problems. Some workers can't cope with modification and they may become unwilling. Some workers avoid modification is because of the lack of knowledge regarding the modification, comfort, personal private views, lack of confidence. However, even though the workers are being resistive, the administrators are intending to cope with the opposition and assist workers cope with the modification more efficiently. Administrators may apply the modification by conveying clearly, being straightforward, and acknowledging their worries together with acknowledging and respecting the workers. Administrators may rovide reinforces and support by letting workers to meet with them face to face with regards to the modification or the worker could benefit from some additional coaching. Administrators might place the resistive workers with somebody who is already using the modification, therefore the worker that is not adjusting will see a confident and administrators may make certain they have set some objectives to make sure the success of the modification was worthwhile and advantag eous. Modification is a part that needs constant and continuous quality of improvements. During the months administrators must be sure that the modification they put in place keep growing and continue to remain effective. Administrators can perform this by applying reaction to areas which are in danger, continue to make contact with their workers whether it is through phone, email, individual to individual, text messaging, or memo. Safety precautions will also continue to be managed and improve, and when the economy changes medical care in the organization might accommodate employee’s requirements. Staff and administration attitudes will remain optimistic, involve your workers, care for their views, ideas, thoughts, continue to provide training sessions, set objectives and goals (praising the workers might be a plus), and encourage inspiration in which this will let the workers to be more devoted. Administrators may assess achievement by viewing how the organization modifies that went into effect is up and running, organization numbers/sales haven't decreased, and workers are producing good results. To assess failure it would be the total reverse, however what would it be to assess. In case the organization is failing or haven't seen any growth then they must put forth one more change. Communication Plan When modification is introduced in the office it may also bring opposition from workers. This opposition arises from a modification in routines, anxiety about the unfamiliar, a reduction in a sense of safety, or even a danger to associations to name a few. While developing an interaction to workers, administration must try to train regarding the modification as well as contact as many employees as is possible. Doing so will likely reduce the opposition from workers and let approval of the modification. Administration must pick a type of interaction to convey administration modification at Riordan Manufacturing which will reach all workers with the same information. In this situation the best way to contact the most workers is to utilize a mix of a memo and e-mail. In these types of interactions, administrators must express why the modification is essential, what the modification will bring to the company, and develop a fresh mission. Describing the modification to workers will train them on why the modification must be made and provide them insight into the unfamiliar. The new administration mission will assist create company tradition that workers can buy into. Using a memo and e-mail is the most efficient way to convey the modification to the workers. This technique additionally permits the identical information to be sent. The information being sent is vital in order that workers aren't getting different info regarding the modification. While transmitting the message to workers, some hurdles might come up. Some workers might not read the message that will lead them to be unaware. Administrators must contact front line supervisors to make sure that all workers have read the message. A read receipt may also be linked to the e-mail to make sure that workers are getting the email. The information found in the message must also help the modification in a positive manner. Some workers might take the information as a bad modification that will enhance opposition. Team conferences must take place in order that supervisors can go over the content in the memo and e-mail. These conferences will let supervisors to deal with any queries regarding the modification and put the workers relaxed. Conveying modification is a vital method utilized to permit the change to be finished properly and keep worker spirit. Conveying modification in the office is essential to reduce opposition among employees. This interaction must try to train workers regarding the modification to assist put the employees relaxed. This information must be created in a manner to reach all workers with the same message in order that all workers are receiving the same info. Conveying modification in an efficient manner will probably enhance approval of modification and maintain the company tradition unchanged. Valued Employees of Riordan Manufacturing: The organization has made a decision to apply a client administration method which will permit you to easily monitor our clients. Administration knows that we have put great accountability on you to manage client info and wish to provide you the methods to do this job more efficiently.

Impact of Foreign Aid on Poverty and Economic Development...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION This project focuses on the poverty profile in Nigeria, the foreign aids given to the nation to help alleviate poverty and how it affects the economic development of Nigeria. According to the World Bank website, â€Å"poverty is hunger. It is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. It is not being able to go to school, not knowing how to read, and not being able to speak properly. Poverty is not having a job, and is fear for the future, and living one day at a time. It is losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water. And lastly, it is powerlessness, lack of representation and freedom.† Poverty is the inability to achieve a certain minimum standard of living. It is†¦show more content†¦By 1996, it was very obvious that urban poverty had become an increasing problem in Nigeria. For example, the number of people in poverty increased from 27% in 1980 to 46% in 1985. it declined slightly to 42% in 1992, and increased very sharply to 67% in 1996. In 1999, estimates showed that over 70% of Nigerians lived in poverty. The government then declared in November 1999 that the 470 billion naira budget for the year 2000 was â€Å"to relieve poverty.† By 1996, Nigeria had become the 13th poorest country in the world and occupied the 142nd rank on the human development index (HDI) scale. (World Bank, 1996) With the reforms, the real growth became positive but there was still a question whether the reform alleviated poverty; how far poverty was reduced. Foreign aid is the economic help provided to communities of countries due to the occurrence of a humanitarian crisis or for the achievement of a socioeconomic objective. There are two types of aids: Humanitarian aid is the immediate assistance given to individuals, organizations or government for emergency relief caused by war or natural disasters. Development aid is help given by developed countries to support economic or social development in developing countries so as to create long term sustainable economic growth. The sources of foreign aids include bilateral and multilateral aids. Bilateral aid is given by the government of one country directly to another.
