"Boom! Pow! Sounds that are immediately followed by Ahh's and cheers. For most of us these sounds are all too familiar at annual 4th of July firework celebrations. However, what would a 4th of July celebration be without the glimmering colors of our nation. People all over our country are able to share in the excitement of fireworks partly due to the effects of one element. The glow of a child’s face from “Glow in the dark” paint is able to work - again- because of the effects of one element. However, the feelings of happiness and pleasure are not constricted to only the red glow of paints and flares. This amazing element is also able to bring pleasure and

Every organization deals with several challenges when they have to make the decision of changing and structuring the organization frame. Organizational change is a complex systemic undertaking (Bolman and Deal, 2013, p.378). It is common for employees to be resisting to change when they are not well informed as to why the changes are being made and when they do not have clarity of what is going to happen next. Bolman and Deal did a phenomenal job explaining the four frames which are human resources, structural, political and symbolic fram when reframing organizational change. It is important for the leadership to understanding how each frame affects the employees by knowing the mission, training and participating with the staff.

In my collage I have included elements that describe me and are most important to me, such as:dance,music,fashion, travelling, and most importantly, family. I chose these elements because they are what I think of when I think of me. There are other things that describe me as well, of course, but these things are the most important factors that describe me. Dance is impacted by globalization because with the communication technologies I am able to experience all the dances around the world. Also with the technologies I am able to keep connected with my cultural dance as well. This also helps expand my cultural aspect of my identity. Globalization is also a really big factor when it comes to music. Music is something that connects everybody around
