Perfectly flawed leadership The United States of America is still arguably still the greatest nation on the planet. Funk & Wagnalls (2015) defines a corporation as “an organization, recognized and created by law, which allows people to associate together for a common purpose under a common name.” It is my assertion that America acts as a corporation in interest of economic, legislative, and judicial stability, only not legally incorporated because the government itself would be the granting body. With that in mind the Unites States of America is the greatest Corporation on the planet. The United States military grooms its leaders in this corporate mind set leading to effective business professionals. Is the military providing the business …show more content…
He knew that the standard structure for business models were no longer relevant. Lessons learned on the battle field with the hybrid threat, changed the current progressive model to an adaptive model. It became obvious once the correlation was made. A threat that is technologically overmatched has no chance of survival if it maintains itself as a peer and tries to stand toe to toe. However, if you take the same threat and introduce the ability to adjust and evolve to the challenges that it faces, if it can evolve fast enough then its longevity is greatly enhanced. "In reality, we had the advantage with only three of those; via the Internet and today's cell phones, we found our enemies could leverage communication better than we could," McChrystal noted (Kilcarr, 2015). If there was only one lesson that could be gleaned from the insight of McChrystal, it would be: that the restructuring of a functional team to allow for autonomy, is essential to allow them to speed up their adaptation to the unforeseen. In industry, just in war adaptation is the key to survival. Despite whether it is for the sake of attrition of the competition or to counter a technological advantage. Therefore, Virtual agility is the technological infrastructure management and usage ability that is used to enhance its own ability to remodel at a comparable rate. The need to Re-streamline into a real time virtual network to enhance sustainability is an undeniable

Being the first film of the series, “The Terminator” did not make a lot of money in total given that it had little hype going into it and it co-starred a relative unknown with some German sounding name that it turns out was Austrian. However, considering it only had a budget of $6.4 million and it made $78 million worldwide according to the Wikipedia page about the franchise, the producers were no doubt happy with the result. “Terminator 2” was the highpoint of the franchise in terms of box office draw and overall awesomeness.…

    On the topic of participation awards, Lisa Heffernan and Vivian Diller have both published articles advocating either for, or against rewarding children at a young age, regardless if they’ve won a game or not. In terms of making a strong argument, both writers used celebrity testimonies, life experience, and quotes from reputable sources, some tactics more effective than others. In Lisa Heffernan’s article favoring participation trophies, “In Defense of Participation Trophies: Why They Really do Teach the Right Values,” she often pulls from her most powerful and relevant source to her topic- her son. Statements such as “When my son was around eight years old … he scoffed at the very idea that such an award existed.” would play a critical role in setting up a counter argument, but much like her other quotations in her article, it was followed by a statement from Hillary L. Friedman, a sociologist, that initially seems to back up her son’s opinion.…

    This became a major issue due to the fact that in order for NAGPRA to apply, Native American tribal groups must be able to provide evidence that the remains discovered had been buried on what was once or currently. Thus in the eyes of the Native American community, to deny their claims of being the descendants of the Kennewick man equates to denying their religion and traditions. (Jones 2005 cited by Sayer 2010: 112). This is due to the fact that according to oral tradition and religious beliefs, their ancestors were placed there over 10,000 years ago however the Supreme Court did not rule oral tradition as viable evidence of that particular tribe inhabiting the region at that time (Herman 2015: 181). Thus while NAGPRA was created to settle…

    To accurately depict the overarching qualities of Northwestern which I find most intriguing, it is easiest to provide a line from the university’s president, Morton Shapiro, on why the university stands out from their competitors. While emphasizing the school’s motivated approach to maximizing attention toward undergraduate students, Shapiro professed that the school’s “focus on undergrads without losing the identity as a great research institute” is a quality that sets Northwestern apart. This ideal, which is a crucial part of Northwestern’s identity, makes it all the more captivating. In the majority of colleges I have researched during my prodigious quest for the perfect university, I found that their “commitment to every student” was…

    In 1968 a philosopher named H.J. McCloskey wrote an article titled “On Being an Atheist,” which attacked the main arguments held by theists. The main arguments that he refers to as “proofs” are the cosmological argument, the teleological argument, and the ontological argument. McCloskey’s article debunks these arguments as being false and without proof. He states that theists should dismiss the idea of God entirely. He claims in his opening statements that he will show reasons why theists should be miserable just because they are theists (1).…

    On the other hand, the distributed self would suggest that how people experience the world and make sense of it is primarily a result of socio-cultural processes, which varies over time and space. Constructionists conceptualize depression as an identity continually renegotiated via linguistic exchange and social performance. They would argue that the biological attitude excludes the social and linguistic dimensions of experience from consideration; social constructionist perspective is essential to understand how subjectivity and meaning are constructed in language and social interaction. For example I will briefly discuss the argument of gender differences in depression and how social constructionists consider that through looking at the ‘material discursive’ practices it is the pressures of society, which causes depression. They argue that a certain pressure is thrust upon women to be doing activities that fits the ideology of being a ‘good woman’ this can exhaust the woman’s body therefore causing depression.…

    Mayhew, in Congress: The Electoral Connection, “The Electoral Incentive,” describes a seat in congress as a “congressional career, [offering] good pay and high prestige” (Mayhew 2004, 14-15). In order to keep that career, those in congress must continuously run for reelection, thus forming the “electoral connection.” To be ale to achieve reelection, a congressman must secure voters, and to secure voters he must give these voters what they want. Through this method, congressmen can keep their coveted jobs and the American people can reap the benefit by having congressman pass desired legislation to try and ensure voters. Although this sounds like a stable relationship, outside variables do get in the way.…

    The argument presented in Hibbing et al. is that the liberal-conservative is universal and grounded in psychological differences in sensitivity to negative stimulus. There are observations from historical conflicts from Sparta vs Athens to Sarah Palin vs Hilary Clinton, and some psychology references which are cited as having documented but not demonstrated the liberal to conservative divide.

People differ, at least by degree if not kind in a way that some component of this is not learned or chosen which means that it is likely to be stable.…
