people. If I were able to develop an international version of Mt. Rushmore, I would choose to create the four faces of Mother Teresa, Marie Curie, Nelson Mandela, and Winston Churchill, because of the versatility of their actions, nationality, and merit. To begin, Mother Teresa stands as a strong activist from India, who deserves recognition for her tremendous actions. Mother Teresa, founder of a religious group of nuns in Calcutta, India, devoted her life to aiding sick and poor people throughout
These two sources are different because they are opposite opinions which are referring to the Battle of the Somme but they are written by the same person which was Lloyd George. The two sources however were very different from each other. Source I was written by Lloyd George on the 21st of September 1916 when he visited the battlefield with Sir Douglas Haig. It says that Lloyd George was the secretary for the War at this time of the Somme he was the war leader from 1906-1916. Source J is very
Evaluation of an Interpretation for Sufficiency John Keegan, a modern military historian, suggests that Haig was an 'efficient and highly skilled soldier who did much to lead Britain to victory in the First World War'. Is there sufficient evidence in Sources C to L to support this interpretation? There are those that believe Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig was 'the Butcher of the Somme', those who would agree with John Keegan's opinion of Haig and those who see arguments for both views
Thomas Hardy's The Son's Veto, Graham Greene's The Basement Room and alan Sillitoe's Uncle Ernest In each of the three stories, 'The Son's Veto' by Thomas Hardy, 'The Basement Room' by Graham Green and 'Uncle Ernest' by Alan Silitoe, the respective writer conveys a sense of isolation regarding the central character. There are numerous similarities between the characters based on their common plight, but each story differs in the portrayal of these characters. The writer's effectively present
It’s time to Get Rid of Merit Pay Teachers are a valuable asset to the educational system without them, how would the children of the future be able to go off to college with an open mind and ready to take on the world. The merit pay system kind of comes and goes. The problem is that they have a system set in place to encourage teachers to up their teaching abilities; meanwhile the merit pay system is struggling because there just is not enough money to keep up with how fast the teachers are reaching
Merit, in general, can be understood as receiving a reward from someone or something for doing a good service or action. However, in the theological context, merit refers to actions that are considered charitable by God. A supernatural reward can then be gifted by God, with the ultimate reward of eternal life in heaven. When it pertains to the subject of merit, one has to state the nature, the conditions, the types, the purpose, and the ending results on the subject of merit. In Christianity, the
Social and Economic Justice The term justice, in its simplest state, is defined as “the process or result of using laws to fairly judge and punish crimes and criminals” (Merriam-Webster). This means that in order to declare if an action is just or not, it is first imperative to set standards as to which actions are deemed acceptable by society and which are not. Once these standards are set, each and every action can be judged based on the previously set standards allowing society to rule whether
educators and government officials have argued what the most effective system of payment is for teachers in the United States. Government officials state that a “merit pay” system, where teacher pay would reflect the students’ test scores, would be the most effective and would increase teacher performance. Teachers, on the other hand, see the merit pay system as a threat to their salaries and fear that they cannot control student performance. The debate will continue for years to come. However, many
The merit system standards case is based on Congressman Wally Herger’s comments regarding the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) civil rights program (Reeves, 2006). In an attempt to persuade the House of Representatives that change was necessary, Herger quoted several United States Forest Service job announcements that included language such as “only unqualified applicants may apply” and “only applicants who do not meet Office of Personnel Management (OPM) qualification requirements
both society and in the English legal system. Currently, the process of the merit system causes a lack of diversity in the English bench, which is highly due to the undiverse characters of the upper reaches of the legal profession. There have been numerous unsuccessful attempts to promote diversity within the judiciary. The Constitution Reform Act 2005 (CRA 2005) was then introduced to ensure selection is based on merit and to promote judicial diversity. Lord Sumption views that the judiciary will
that contains two words that strike as much fear and diverse opinions in teachers as merit pay. There are two distinct sides to this topic. On the pro side are usually state officials and some administrators, on the other are teachers. I chose the topic of merit pay for teachers for several reasons. The first is I enjoy reading the different economic theories that both sides use in arguing their points on merit pay. It is very interesting to see how some basic economic concepts are misused and
In Canto 28 of Paradiso Beatrice explains, “the measure of their vision lies in merit, produced by grace,” (112-113). A balance and interplay can be found in the elements “merit” and “grace” because they are an allegory of the entire book in which the whole focus of the sanctification of Dante, and all souls for that matter, is based upon merit and grace. Beatrice’s representation of God’s grace is reflected by her radiance in that she plays an image of nobility, virtue, the Redeemed Life and, to
The major objective of incentive plans is to preserve a company most capable people. In order to maintain the competitive edge, companies have to award incentive plans and bonuses that are similar or greater than other companies.

System for Electing Judges Compared to the Merit Plan The Merit Plan, which is also known as the Missouri Plan, has been fenced by controversy since it was first came into play. The controversy about this plan is over the effects, disadvantages and advantages of the merit plans on the quality of the judiciary. Time has not silenced the debate. Other issues have surfaced in response to political, legal and operational factors. Advocates of the merit selection offer the plan as an alternative to
through his/her own satisfaction from achievements. In order for that to happen, the society should be merit-based. A place where people have an incentive to work for themselves without harming others will ensure a safe, respectful, and successful community. Unlike our society in the twentieth century, people are actually encouraged to strive for success and get rewarded according to the level of accomplishment in this utopia. The main idea of a merit-based society is a person receives what he works for
legal traditions. Thus, by being informed by the United Kingdom’s model, Australia’s reform should be two fold. The first limb being the creation of a commission for judicial appointment and the second being a sound articulation of the requisite of ‘merit’ by said commission. A Commission for Judicial
Today my topic will be analyzing the poetic merit of The Show Must Go On, written by Roger Taylor, Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, and Brian May; performed by the band “Queen”. The song has poetic merit because of three main points; being end rhymes, couplets, and oxymorons, among with other poetic elements. All of which will be explained with quotes and textual evidence. My first claim is that this song has poetic merit because of end rhyme. End rhyme is when the end of two or more lines’ last words
between the Spoils System and the Merit/Civil Service System. These two different personnel systems helped pave the way for modern public personnel management. Both of these systems had their advantages and disadvantages. This paper will define, explain, compare, and contrast the two systems.

The American Dream What is the American Dream? Is it the idea that everyone is free and equal? Is it the idea that we can all achieve success based on our merit and our work ethic? The American Dream means different things to everyone. But in a part of everyone’s definition of the American Dream includes the principles in which America was founded on. In theory America is the “Land of the Free”. In actuality America is the Land of the Oppressed. America was supposed to be built on freedoms that
