Many people say that you must have plenty in common with someone in order to be their best friend. However, in the novel Finnie Walsh by Steven Galloway, this is not the case. Finnie and Paul have a few things in common, such as their passion for hockey, but they were (for the most part) complete opposites. Paul's family has a struggle with money throughout the duration of the novel, while Finnie's family is quite wealthy.

Finnie is a risk taker along with being very outgoing; but on the contrary, Paul is very timid and takes everything in stride. Paul and Finnie have few things in common;

Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World is a fictional book, written by Jennifer Armstrong. It tells the true and extraordinary tale of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, led by Sir Ernest Shackleton 1914-17. All of the men worked extremely hard to get back home alive, but three men stood out the most. Those three men are: Sir Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley, and Tom Crean. These men were definitely the most essential to the entire expedition, and took part in almost every single task executed.

Confetti Girl, by Diana López, and Tortilla Sun, by Jennifer Cervantes are using different points of view to create tension in their stories. First, the author made the girls feel depressed of how their parents won’t understand their feelings. Furthermore, the parents are careless of what the girls do and want them to do things as they tell them to. Lastly, the girls’ opinions are being respected by their parents. Thus, the authors are effectively using different points of view in the story, enabling them to create tension by having the parents who do not understand their children’s feelings, not interested in what they do and wants them to just follow their orders, and not respecting their opinions.

Persistence is a firm continuance in course of action despite difficulty or opposition. In the world of entrepreneurship and business you can't be weak even if you fail a couple of times. Janelle Shanise James is the embodiment of this strength and ideology. She prides herself as a mother, beauty lover, rule breaker, and truth seeker. Make-up has always been Janelle’s passion throughout life, but, up until a few years ago, she had always discounted it as something that girls just play around with.

She began

In the recent past, many organizations and consultants have continued to recognize the commercial importance of organizational learning, which has contributed to the more consideration of the concept of learning organization. Since learning organization has become a central orienting point to organizational learning, several writers have attempted to identify templates, or ideal forms for real organizations to emulate. Actually, organizational learning is basically considered as the process or activity in which organizations ultimately reach the model of a learning organization (Smith, 2001). Consequently, learning organization is a model with which organizations have to evolve to respond to the several pressures they experience. This model enables organizations to respond to pressures because it's characterized by recognition of the importance of individual and collective learning.

According to Senge (1990), learning organizations are organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together. (Smith, 2001)

Since I was young, I knew exactly what I wanted to do in life, to be successful and happy. My whole life, I have been surrounded by prosperous family members and family friends. Growing up around these people, I came to acknowledge that they had a sense of stability and happiness about them because they got to get up every morning and go to a job they love. However, what I admired most is their success did not come easy, they worked hard to become the respected people they are today. This assisted me in adapting three strong core values: personal growth, entrepreneurship, and respect.

This semester we have focused on four modules which consist of business organization, vocabulary, ethics, and management. In retrospect of all the content I have learned, the video does make a good point in that humanity needs to be considered and understood when analyzing the entire management in a business. Businesses thrive off positive work ethic, strong leadership, and efficient management. Without these factors, the business will lack strong productivity, teamwork, social responsibility, organization, and appeal to the consumer. Starting with strong management in a company determines a large factor of the prosperity of the business.

A report generated by YWCA USA (2008) indicated that a total of $7 billion is spent per year on cosmetics, which is 0.5% of the country’s total GDP. This essay aims to determine whether the ever growing cosmetic industry is affecting individuals in a positive or a negative manner physically and psychologically by studying various sources of information such as books, articles, reports and websites keeping a feminist’s approach towards the topic.

A learning organization is one that is able to transform its culture and behaviors from an occurred situation. This includes the organization realizing a repeated pattern of behaviors that is not growing or helping the organization in the right direction. When organizations admit to certain truths or facts and acknowledge flawed behaviors, then change can start. Organizations attempt to change by restructuring and reorganizing the company. Organizations learn only through individuals who learn. Individual learning does not guarantee organizational learning but, without it no organizational learning occurs’ (Senge 1990).
