Throughout the course of my childhood and early adulthood, I have faced several obstacles in pursuing my academic and professional goals. I grew up in rural Oromia in Ethiopia, where opportunities to pursue academics were not available. Consequently, my mother did not receive any formal education and my father was forced to leave school during his primary education due to lack of financial support. Fortunately, I was able to move in with relatives in the city as a child in order to attend school. Despite my excitement to pursue an education far beyond what most of my community was able to do, life away from home was very difficult. In order to earn my stay at my relatives’ home, I took on many responsibilities that were hard to accomplish as a child. These duties included fetching water from nearby rivers and carrying heavy loads of firewood from the forest, walking long distances to procure produce from open markets as well as hand washing and ironing all of the family members’ clothes. Often times, I had to endure hunger and exhaustion from hard labor in order to stay in school. However, from a young age, I had always deeply valued my education and was determined to excel academically and thus was able to push through the many physical and emotional obstacles in my life. Year after year, I was a top student in all of my classes and was thus able to pursue a college education. Relying on the assistance of many individuals and part-time employment, I finally became the first of all of my family to earn a college degree, graduating as the top student of the year and receiving the President’s Cup.
Reflecting on my experiences as both a child and young adult, I largely accredit my success to the many great teachers and professors w...

... and experience in accounting with students. Thus, after earning a PhD, I would like to apply for a faculty position at a leading university and begin pursuing these goals.
Boston University’s PhD program in management would prepare me for this role by building upon my knowledge of accounting, management and information systems. It would enable me to channel my quantitative and conceptual skills in analyzing accounting issues in my future research. Additionally, the program will help me gain a general business perspective required to be successful as an academic. Particularly BU’s comprehensive and competitive PhD program would equip me to be a productive teacher and researcher in various areas of accounting. Furthermore, I believe that the program’s rigorous environment will help me to grow personally and professionally to be successful in this global environment.
Democratic is when citizens vote for all elected officials. Many had defied political system as it was, and thrived towards to create a democratic system that will be beneficial for America as a whole. Andrew Jackson was one of those individuals who challenged the government’s views, and whose name is tied closely to democracy. This essay will focus on the aspects that made this president so great and how democratic was he in actual fact.
Even the easiest and trivial problems do have several solutions, dictated by different approaches, driving forces, and starting points. So, what can one tell about solution of the complex issues that require a lot of time, effort and thought to be solved? There are always a multitude of positions, opinions and options to solve the complex problem, so one cannot even tell which of these options is the only true and right. Thus, it is hard to judge whether specific solutions for the problem of slavery in North America of the 18th-19th century would be efficient or not. So, comparing Lucy Stanton’s and Nat Tuner’s positions and approaches to achieve the freedom for African-Americans it seems almost impossible to claim that only one of the points is valid.
Our belief states are determined by the external factors, for example, perceived complexity and priming ethics is an interesting subject and everyone lives by their thoughts and their ways. Everyone lives by a different code. The difference between morality and ethics is that morality is about primary making the right choices and ethics is proper reasoning. In the essay “The ethics of belief” by W. K. Clifford, he argues that if anything on insufficient evidence, then it’s unethical. In this essay I will remain undecided with what Clifford is trying to say. I agree and disagree with some of his viewpoints. Some I do have to say are unethical and some are reasonable. What Clifford is trying to portray is interesting. Especially since he comes from a religious background. And reading about his new discovery, is quite interesting.
In America, it is becoming more difficult to achieve the American Dream. The American Dream is based on the idea that people can move higher up on the social scale, as long as they work hard work to accomplish their goal. The American Dream is also based on the belief that the social class you’re born into, is not the social class you have to stay in. In other words, everyone can move up in their lifetime if they work hard. However this is not true today, and people are not moving positively up the social class ladder. It has become a chain reaction of people with a college education vs. people without a college education. People with a college degree, or who have parents that have received a college degree, are significantly more likely to be in the upper class in America today, giving them an unfair advantage.
Parenting may be said as an experiment, because every parent has different views and ways of raising their own children. Parents raise their child in such ways in which they believe is beneficial and healthy for the child. A story that came across media news about a baby, Storm, being raised as “genderless” fueled a controversy in defiance of gender stereotyping. The Witterick family in Canada believed that by acknowledging this practice it would, “tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a standup to what the world could become in Storm’s lifetime” (Davis and James). However, in terms of raising a genderless child, this can cause the child to be unprepared to face the conventional norms or society. This practice may be causing the child a disservice.
Hesiod’s Theogony and the Babylonian Enuma Elish are both myths that begin as creation myths, explaining how the universe and, later on, humans came to be. These types of myths exist in every culture and, while the account of creation in Hesiod’s Theogony and the Enuma Elish share many similarities, the two myths differ in many ways as well. Both myths begin creation from where the universe is a formless state, from which the primordial gods emerge. The idea of the earth and sky beginning as one and then being separated is also expressed in both myths.
Like the human body, the ideas that will be discussed in this research paper revolve around food. Food is essential for the human body to function, grow, and survive. In addition to these physiological effects, food has developed culturural purposes, such as, for enjoyment, creation, and profit. The food industry in the United States has taken advantage of food’s purposes of enjoyment, creation, and profit. This advantageous behavior is done so in a way, that has altered the make-up of food; which consequently has altered food’s effect on the human body, no longer giving the human body optimal function, growth, and survival. Overall, the food industry and the alterations of food have not only negatively affected the animals and food used in production, but also the minds and physiology of consumers.
and passing the CPA exam, and maintaining the CPA license. What’s more, the institute that I will attend that in my opinion will give me the best opportunity to attain my goal is Walsh College.
Do not end up in situations that can be avoided. Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a novel set on a tropical island, explores the idea of mind control. In this story there are a group of schoolboys that get into a plane crash and are left without adults. As adolescents they decide who gets the power to be leader and out of them. Ralph is picked because of his appearance. Throughout the book a character Jack abuses his power and then because his influence on the others it leads to the death of two schoolboys. In Lord of the Flies Golding’s point is to demonstrate that people react to bad stimulus without realizing it,which results in an emotional breakdown.
During the Great Depression, while the competitors were cutting costs and reusing outdated designs, Kress was expanding and building more elaborate stores than their previous ones. The architecture was referred to as an “emporium” evoking an elegant atmosphere more suited to a fine cloth or furniture store in New York rather than the five & dime stores dotting small town America. Many wonder what the driving force was behind these design decisions, especially during a national time of economic recession. Perhaps simply to outpace the competition, but perhaps more importantly Samuel Kress was an avid art collector and a proponent of public art enhancing a community. In this way the Kress legacy of the brand became more than a retail business, it became a symbol of small town civic pride.

Accounting PhD, I believe, would enable me to channel my quantitative and conceptual skills in analyzing accounting issues opening new opportunities in research. Subsequent to earning a Ph.D., I would like to apply for a faculty position at a leading university; and investigate issues concerned with accounting information systems as it affects decision making, internal control and auditing and assurance services.
My first goal is to continue my education by earning a Master’s degree in Accounting right after completing my bachelor’s degree. The MSU’s Accounting program attracts me for both its reputation and its career opportunities available for international students. It is my responsibility as a future accountant to be really familiar and proficient at the tools accountants use regularly. Achieving my master’s degree will also help me achieving my second goal of becoming a CPA by meeting the requirement of curriculum. Thus, I am professionally and academically motivated to earn a Master’s degree of Accounting at the Broad Business College.
Although I said I am not the most confident individual, I can easily see myself becoming an accountant in the years to come. During my brief time at this university, I have already seen myself start to mature as an individual. As a student, I realize there is still much work for me to complete. However, I am finding it much easier to study and push myself to go further than I have before. These changes only seem small right now, but I know they can be limitless. As long as I keep pushing forward and maintain my effort as a student, I will, without a doubt, become a professional who can call himself an
When I was growing up, I remember attending elementary school, learning a new language seems to be difficult at first, but I was able to learn the English language because of the dedication of one of my teachers. Now, as I reflect on this experience, it is obvious that she was dedicated and enjoyed teaching her students to be successful. I know today that she made a difference in my life as I navigated through my education experience and high school years to present.
