“Welcome all 2,500 competitors to the 2016 Tough Mountain Challenge!” I heard the emcee yell that over the speakers around the area and my chest seemed to vibrate with the noise coming from them. My eyes seemed to wander around to the many diverse faces lining up at the start. This would be my second year doing the race and I was both nervous yet excited to start. That day I overcame many hurdles both physically and mentally.

Everest simulation helped me saw the importance of communication as a team. This simulation was set up so that we all have individual goals to complete but we must work together to complete our goals. Given our roles beforehand allowed us to interpret and understand what we need to complete but this left us out from considering other team members goals. This simulation also allowed us to consider outside factors that happen to us like the difference in health conditions. With unexpected conditions and temperature, I realized that as a team we need to work together and pull all our information to complete the task.
On May 10, 1996 six people died trying to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. These people were parts of two expeditions that were in the Himalayas, preparing to ascend the summit for six weeks. The first group was under the direction of Rob Hall, who had put 39 paying clients on the summit in five years. Hall was considered the leader of the mountain and the man to see no matter what the discrepancy. Group two, headed by Fisher, who like Hall, was trying to start a profitable business in providing the experience of climbing Mt. Everest to all for the price of 60 to 70 thousand dollars. Unfortunatly, neither man would live to tell the tale of this expedition.
Sir Edmund Hillary’s, View from the Summit and Tenzing Norgay’s, The Dream Comes True were very interesting articles on Mount Everest. Climbing though the chilling Himalayas, they had to overcome difficult obstacles. In each of their essays, they have some things they agreed upon, and some they did not. Each perspective brings out a sharp contrast in the personality of both of these men. They did share several similarities like a few of the obstacles they had to overcome. Two of these obstacles were the navigation of the steep section also known as a crag and the clotting of ice around oxygen equipment.
Mount Everest known for its stature, has many drawbacks and advantages. It was reported in 2013 that 4,000 people have reached the mountain’s summit, with numerous more attempting. Could you imagine climbing Mount Everest, navigating through the biting and brisky wind, while a storm brews in the distant. A bouquet of white roses grows in the sky. Causing lightning to crack the cerulean sky into two, doesn’t sound very delightful.
The case of Mt. Everest focuses on two commercial expeditions, Adventure Consultants and Mountain Madness, and the tragic event on May 10, 1996. These two commercial expeditions were lead by Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, and were consisted of 20 members. Both leaders were experienced climbers, but due to several factors, the expedition resulted into five deaths including Hall and Fischer. The event has thought managers to evaluate the importance of leadership together with its internal and external factors that managers should consider to survive in the high risk business world.
Mount Everest is a destination that has been a struggle and an adventure to climb for thrill-seekers. By the middle of the year 2013, a total of nearly four thousand people had reached the mountain’s summit. Yet one day, Mount Everest may become a mountain of garbage. Climbers who climb Mount Everest often leave behind their unneeded items, such as food containers, empty oxygen canisters, and even human waste. All the debris left on the mountain stays frozen in place, due to the extreme weather conditions on Mount Everest. One day, Mount Everest may be fully polluted with climbers’ litter, where climbers must scale Mount Everest while stepping in garbage, instead of snow.

In his novel, Orwell creates an allegory by comparing the events in both revolutions and the actions of both leaders. The events and characters in this novel matchup real well with the real life events that happened back in 1917. Orwell uses an animal fable to compare the two. Orwell is spot on when comparing the similarities between the characters and real life people. Orwell is able to show his subject in easy similar terms by treating the making of communism as a story that is taking place on a single farm with talking animals.
The, “War on Drugs” has been an ongoing debate in many circles for much longer than most people know. Starting in the late 1800’s, drug regulations and laws have been imposed upon American society and, although they have changed and been manipulated to fit different policies, by different politicians with different agendas, they are still in effect today. These laws and regulations may be in place for the safety of society or, according to some, are a way for the federal government to control the American population. With the many different effects, uses or styles of drugs available both legally and illegally there are countless reasons why these regulations are in place, but equally as many examples of why they are not needed or are detrimental to our culture. The more recent regulations have brought about more negative issues in society than the positive result they were intended for. The initiation of the War on Drugs as a peacemaking criminological approach to drugs in an effort to eliminate illegal drug use has failed resulting in overcrowding and dangerous prisons, increased violence and fatality rates in the underground drug trade and unjustifiable costs to the American taxpayer for the treatment and incarceration of those targeted. A look at a brief history of drugs in America will help put this failure into context.
Mount Everest Simulation; where we explore the leadership and the group dynamics in the context of climbing the Mount Everest. We have to decide what step is to be taken in each round of the Mount Everest Simulation, like how the supplies are going to be distributed amongst the team members, taking care of the health of everyone (if you’re a physician) information needed for the ascent and the proper way of implementing the decision as a leader.
