Great, I think to myself as I stare into the bathroom mirror, another long day at the stinking T.V. factory. As I rush down the stairs to the street I bump into Ms. Chong, my neighbor from across the hall. She asks me if I would like to eat some fish and rice later, but I decline, as I may be working late. I hurry to the station and jump on the crowded train and ride it towards the factory.
Luckily I make it to work on time and change into my work uniform. My job at the television plant is to pour the foam packing peanuts into the shipping boxes after the finished televisions are put into them. My job is pretty monotonous, but I like it because I sometimes shoot my co-workers with the foam peanuts that come out of the hose. Everyone always gets mad at me because they think I’m a slacker. They just don’t know how to have fun. My boss, Mr. Wong is a real piece of work. He is always on our backs about productivity, and he is always comparing us to other factories, telling us how unproductive we are compared to them. I think I’m the only one who ever complains about the guy. Everyone else acts like Mr. Wong is a super great guy; I think they are all a bunch of brown nosers.
As the months roll by, my job becomes more and more boring. Rumors begin to spread throughout the factory. Rumors that our plant is going to be closed down and sold to another company. It is more than likely that if our plant is sold my co-workers and I will be replaced, and we will be out of a job.
So I begin to search the city for a new job. Just in case my old one ends. I am able to find many jobs in the fishing industry. These jobs don’t appeal to me because the smell is bad, and the pay is low. Finally I am able to find a position as a mailroom clerk in a computer company.
Sure enough five months later my television factory is sold and all the workers are replaced, including me.
Luckily for me I am able to get the job in the mailroom at the computer company. The name of the company is Wang Global. Wang Global builds computer boards for cash registers. It also buys integrated circuit technology from other companies and modifies it, then resells it. I like the people at Wang much better than the people at the television factory. I also like my mailroom job much better. All I have to do is put incoming mail from giant bins into slots that co...

...d designs from existing plans bought from other overseas computer companies.
Things go great until foreign companies start refusing to sell us their technologies. All of the overseas technology producing companies, primarily in the United States begin to catch on to the Wang Global’s moneymaking strategy and stop selling us new technology. This spells bad news for Wang Global and for my research department especially. Without new technologies coming in, my department has nothing to do and none of us know how to come up with new technologies ourselves; therefore, Wang Global doesn’t need us anymore. Within a year my whole department is informed that we need to clear out our things, and start looking for new jobs.
Luckily, I remember from my ECO 281 class back at Central, that this whole technology buying business will be coming to an end at about this time. Over the years I have been saving a large portion of my paycheck every week and putting it in high interest CDs and bonds. I have invested the other portion of my savings in Internet business startups so I am doing quite well. So, I decide to just retire and live off of my savings, I am quite happy with my life.

Jim is a upstanding, hard working, American computer programmer who recently lost his job to a man who doesn’t provide the correct code or patches for the computer programs he builds. This man is living in a far off country providing money that doesn’t benefit Jim or America, now Jim has a nice spot in the unemployment line. This is not how any good employee should be treated, but now many companies are dropping their good employees for cheaper foreign employees. Recent outsourcing is factor in the recent downturn in the U.S. economy.
The Vietnam War was arguably one of the most controversial wars the United States has gotten involved in. Not only did many men not have a choice about whether they joined the military during this time, but much of America was against getting involved with this war, especially college students. People and college students all over the country protested and picketed against the United State’s involvement. This was waged on from 1954 to 1975, but the U.S. was only fully involved with the fighting from about 1965 to 1973. This Vietnam War biography tells the story of a young Lowell Rogne, who served in the Marines during this time.
The media is constantly showing one body image calling it perfect and it’s an impossible goal to reach. As you just read the media alters every image it sets out thus the video released on YouTube showing a model posing and then getting a total makeover digitally making her perfect in the medias eyes and how that can affect the way a woman thinks and how they feel of their body making our minds our own worst disorders for example anorexia
My first job was with a loan officer where I worked as support staffer which pretty much meant everything from translating and interpreting to taking out the trash. From there I worked for a bit at Target, in their little café/Starbucks, which was my lesson in life where I did not want to be. During this time I interviewed for an internship with then Senator Ensign, and was brought on the team as an intern. I graduated high school and knew I had to get out of fast food, and went to apply for retail. I landed a job in a luxury retail store, thanks to my multiple language skills and did great. I had the time of my life working with very important and high profile clients and being close to what I loved Fashion, but I knew this was not going to be my career. I quit for an opportunity I was offered with Nevada Youth Coalition helping out with voter registration, but had to go back to Mexico for a bit. Upon returning I attended the NCLR conference in which I ran into a person from my past Law School mentorship program HUELLAS, who happened to tell me they were looking for a file clerk. I applied and interviewed, and was hired that fall with DeCastroverde Law Firm. I worked there for about a year and a half and moved up to legal assistant, when the opportunity for this job came. I interviewed in the fall, but was not given the job. I decided to head back home, and the day I returned back to Las Vegas to start my spring semester I got a call for a second interview and the rest is history.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In our society today, people would rather see what celebrities are up to than what is going on with our health plan. Watching the news makes us aware of the latest trend, new gadget, who’s in rehab, or who has an eating disorder. In the eyes of society, women like Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian, and Megan Fox are the epitome of perfection. What girl wouldn’t want to look like them? Unfortunately, this includes most of the girls in the US. Through TV shows, commercials, magazines or any form of advertising, the media enforces a certain body type which women emulate. The media has created a puissant social system where everyone must obtain a thin waist and large breasts. As a society, we are so image obsessed with the approval of being thin and disapproval of being overweight, that it is affecting the health of most women. Women much rather try to fit the social acceptance of being thin by focusing on unrealistic body images which causes them to have lower self esteem and are more likely to fall prey to eating disorders, The media has a dangerous influence on the women’s health in the United States.
It was argued by Cheung the reference by Lord Scott in Gamlestaden is still a summary of principles derived from Re Chime Corp. It is submitted that the reading of the case of Gamlestaden as it is does not state any criteria to allow corporate relief in unfair prejudice petition but rather the decision just endorsed that the court “may make such order as it thinks fit for giving relief in respect of the matters complained of” under an unfair prejudice petition. This could be a cautious approach not to restrict the ability of the court to may make such order as it thinks fit which would not be available if a test is introduced.
Apple is one of the largest and most powerful technology companies around the world, and one of the best example of the electronic product that gives the value for the technological field that we start living in since the Iphone was born. Apple has the market value to make it the largest private company in the world, and we all know its distinctive products and unique devices of iPhone and iPad as well as MacBook and private operating system, and Apple consider the world's ninth-largest company by revenue
Cutting costs by competitors is the most logical way for competitors to be more competitive in the market. By cutting costs, there are more profits to be made and to gain market share by offering lower cost substitute products. The industry is flooded by competition, but no other competitor of Apple really focuses on creating great technical upport or brand loyalty. (Elliot, 2014)Apple’s primary focus is to develop innovative products and create a unique product that consumers can depend on the being the most highly anticipated technological device while offering great service and support for these new products. Apple uses business model innovation which introduces new products that are compatible with each other such as iTunes and the iPhone or ipod. This has proven to be a very effective business model and competitors are trying to replicate the same model to their advantage. (Jakab, 2015) By being an innovator and first mover on this type of technology, it gave Apple the competitive advantage in the market. In order for competitors to be more effective in the industry, they must attempt to gain customer loyalty and offer a simliar business strategy to that of Apple if they are to be the industry
It is, without a doubt, true that the media is obsessed with perfection. The media is basically showing everyone that even the beautiful is not beautiful enough. As they take the original photos of women with natural skin and a healthy body shape and convert it to their perception of “beautiful”, they begin to lower the self-esteems of many people around the world. This is because it is not possible to look like these edited models, no matter how much effort is put into it. When people see the perfect women in a magaz...

In today’s society, a job is necessary. Many people get up every morning hating what they do, but as the working class people we have to learn to live with it. Not everything we do we will like.
While I was a in my teens and even in my college years I remember many strange and miserable jobs. I quit in the middle of jobs. I thought some jobs would be great but eventually turned out to be not for me. Some jobs I quit after a few minutes, even jobs that I expressed to my boss what I thought about him. That wasn’t always the best idea. I am so grateful that after a great deal I can honestly say I am glad to have a career. At one point I had a job I very much disliked yet it was funny at the same time at one particular moment. The job was trying to sell a “special” vacuum cleaner. This job was the first in the sales area for me. The one thing I hated was going house to house. I would knock at people’s doors and beg them to buy the vacuum. I was just a trainee when I started this new job and had looked at the videos the company instructed me to watch to optimize my selling potential. Once all the class work was done we had to go out five days straight a field trainer, there were many doors to be knocked on.
-So many years, Demkë, so many years! A man feels sorry to leave his job!…It is not little effort we put in this, it is not little sweat we shed!
Forensic Science, the practice in which information and evidence is gathered in order to determine the sentence of a suspect, is a profession that most individuals are unaware of. However, those who have watched CBS or Spike TV may have viewed the show CSI, which stands for Crime Scene Investigation. This somewhat popular show portrays a few positions of the forensic science department, and it also gives different scenarios that a forensic scientist may come across on a daily basis. As an adolescent, I spent countless hours with my grandmother while my parents worked; we both would always sat in the living room while we ate vegetables and watched CSI. At first, I didn’t like science nor did I understand it in school. However, as I started watching CSI, I began to understand the different procedures and methods that the scientists on CSI used and science in school became much easier. I felt as if CSI gave me a breakthrough and it was my calling to become a forensic scientist. As I became more interested with science, I also began to look up the different types of forensic scientists and became interested in the position of a Forensic Reconstructionist. The three main reasons for choosing my major and career was because I was fascinated with science in high school, I wanted to support my family, and because I want to make my parents proud.
