  • Chick-Fil-A Excellence In Customer Service

    1905 Words  | 4 Pages

    In 1946 two brothers, Ben and Truitt Cathy, opened a diner in Atlanta Georgia called the Dwarf House Grill. The Dwarf House served a variety of typical grill food that included everything from burgers to hot dogs. All of that changed in 1961 when a poultry supplier stopped buy and sold Mr. Cathy chicken breast that were too large for the trays that they typically cooked the chicken on. Truitt Cathy decided that he did not want to throw out the chicken so he breaded the chicken and put it in the pressure fryer. He realized that he could cook the chicken in the same amount of time that it took to cook a hamburger and it tasted great. He had hamburger buns and pickles in the restaurant already and this is how the first chicken sandwich was made. In 1967 the first Chick-Fil-A store was opened in Atlanta’s Greenbrier Shopping Center and in 1986 the first freestanding franchise was opened. Today there are more than one thousand seven hundred Chick-Fil-A restaurants in thirty nine states. One of the ways that Chick-Fil-A has been able to make their company a success is through their unique approach to customer service.

Teams can be seen in the hiring process, community involvement, national sponsorship, knowing what customers want, and cooperate culture.

  • Hannah Arendt 1917 Revolution Analysis

    1235 Words  | 3 Pages

    Hannah Arendt identified several key features that she believed were integral for a movement to qualify as truly revolutionary. She presented these features in her book, On Revolution, when she wrote “Violence is no more adequate to describe the phenomenon of revolution than change; only where change occurs in the sense of a new beginning, where violence is used to constitute an altogether new body politic, where liberation from oppression aims at least at the constitution of freedom can we speak of revolution” (Arendt, pg 25). Hannah Arendt’s definition of revolutions can be boiled down two parts. The first is the creation of a new body politic, which can be understood as the founding

  • Formal Analysis of Art Works: Three Examples

    604 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first artwork I chose for the formal analysis project is The Tiger by Ito Jakuchù originally painted in 1755. This painting is of a tiger licking its paw in the grass underneath a tree branch. There seems to be two diagonal planes as the tiger is leaning forward and sitting erect. There is a horizontal plane from what appear to be branches above the tiger. The painting has asymmetrical balance as the elements are equally distributed to balance the top and the bottom of the space. The artwork demonstrates several types of line. There are curved lines used in the tiger’s stripes. There are also diagonal, vertical and horizontal lines used in the background for the grass and the overhanging tree branch. The curved and wavy lines used in the tiger’s body, for example in the shoulder muscles, imply movement in addition to the curve in the tiger’s tail. The color scheme used in this painting seems to be complementary to one another as the artist used orange and brown tones with blue and red-orange accents for the tiger’s eyes and tongue. Black is used throughout the p...

  • On Revolution

    1229 Words  | 3 Pages

    On Revolution, a book Hannah Arendt published in 1963, after Eichmann’s trial. The book didn’t gain a lot of popularity at first due to the remarkable Eichmann in Jerusalem notability. On Revolution is a work of dichotomies. Arendt compared and differentiated between the French and the American Revolution. How one was successful and how the other was less successful according to her perspectives. To begin with, Arendt defines revolution as a new beginning, a novelty, an irresistible force, something that is unprecedented that cannot be controlled. She also stressed further more on this point that a revolution should have the ability to create something new that would result in more space of freedom. Arendt does not favor the liberal view of freedom, as it is the case in the American model: “pursuit of happiness”. Freedom, according to Arendt, is the freedom of participating in the political life, being an active member in politics instead of being partially active during the elections only. Arendt observed these revolutions and wanted to know what they signify. On Revolution is a narrative of the French and the American revolutions. The book received criticism and Arendt’s historical account came under-attack by historians and experts from the both side. The fact that she referred to the American Revolution as a revolution instead of calling it the war of independence stunned many. Hence not only her views and claims were problematic to some but also the title. In this paper, I’m going to argue and point out the differences between the French Revolution and the American Revolution in line with Arendt’s theory of revolution.

  • Expositional Essay of 1 Peter 3:13-22

    1880 Words  | 4 Pages

    "For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him."

  • Shanshui Analysis

    766 Words  | 2 Pages

    When looking at the tradition of shanshui, it seems to face an endless stream of reproductions of limited number of landscape stereotypes. New masters built their reputation particularly on borrowing and copying freely from those old masters. Still, now when people learn Chinese landscape painting, they start with imitation (臨摹), which means they was confined to copying old masters, thus studying and copying masters’ works are necessary foundations for artists’ creation. From the modern culture condition, creating is what art should do, but not like the way of tradition shanshui used to be. But then, some studies found that what they call “copy” is not really what we understand “copy” to mean. From particularly tracing to liberal reinterpretation to subtle recreation, what begins as a way of learning continues as a way of self-cultivation and of creation. Dong Qichang said that the main point of using brush and ink to imitate the masterpiece is that to connect with and think deeply of the original on...

  • Revolutions In Crane Brinton's The Anatomy Of Revolution

    1485 Words  | 3 Pages

    In his book The Anatomy of Revolution, Crane Brinton describes revolutions as an illness that can be analyzed by discovering the precursors of such events. In this regard, he would argue that revolutions are not necessarily a good thing and something that can be avoided. Brinton specifically investigates the English, American, French, and Russian revolutions to dissect each one and discover the symptoms that lead to it. The Anatomy of Revolution is thus broken into the three phases that he defines as making up most revolutions: the symptoms, the fever, and when the fever breaks.

  • The Importance Of Landscape Paintings

    1506 Words  | 4 Pages

    Balance was a key aspect in creating the landscape paintings. The artists’ main goal was to create a wholesome piece that captured the characteristics of nature (“Chinese Paintings” 1920, 32). Therefore, balance was important to portray in the paintings. Artists’ achieved balance through the placement and variation of aspects. While the sides of the paintings were far from symmetrical, the busyness of each side was fairly equal, creating a balanced appearance. Size variation between features also created balance. Mountains were often the focal point of the paintings, and therefore painted very large in comparison to the other aspects (“Chinese Paintings” 1920, 30). By doing this, the artist balanced the focal point of the piece to the other smaller aspects that would be higher in quantity. Most paintings were simpler, in order to emphasize the vast atmosphere and balance the enormity of nature to the small piece painted (“Chinese Paintings” 1920, 30). The importance of landscape coverage equaled that of balance in the composition of the
