Trevor Mckinney's Seventh Class Assignment

1. Why would demand forecasting make sense in a “make to stock” situation? It projects the standard components needed so that the product can be made after customer receiving a customer order.

When I was younger, I would see that Sarah McLachlan commercial with the sad puppy-eyed puppies and think about how much I wanted to help them. But being a kid with no job or money made it difficult to be able to give what I wanted to. I told myself once I started making my own money, I would give it to a bunch of charities. Yet years later, when I started working at a McDonald’s in my hometown, I forgot all about my promise and blew all my money on clothes and food. I subconsciously pushed the idea of donating far away, with countless other thoughts flooding my mind: school, my first job, and balancing the two. With my own life to worry about it was tough to remember to think about someone else’s. I do the occasional “buy the T-shirt/bracelet/cookie/etc. to support the cause” but aside from that my altruism does not go too deep. After reading this book, Singer ideas led me to rethink my impact in life and while I still probably won’t become a full fledged effective altruist, there are still countless ways I can easily make a change for the

1. When Trevor first presents his “Pay It Forward” plan—as a way to change the world for the better—many dismiss it. What does their rejection say about Trevor’s plan and what does it say about those who dismissed it? :

McDaniel College had first been created when its first building went up in 1866-1867. The school was the first institution that was south of the Mason-Dixon line and was coeducational. The first name that the school had was Western Maryland. That name originated because the institutions first board chairman (John Smith Wakefield) was president of the railroad, which had been called Western Maryland Railroad. The railroad had run through the college town. McDaniel had been one of forty colleges in the nation to be recognition in the New York Times education writer Loren Pope’s book, “Colleges That Change Lives” ("World Ranking Guide”). The schools colors are green and gold and the mascot is a Green Terror. There are about 1,629 students

It realty shouldn't take much put of a person to help others. Although the video didn't show one of life's greatest friend (Karma) which is basically. What goes around comes back around. This would have been a great scene to add in the video. To show the audience that helping others will always return to you. Instead it showed a man that wanted to give to people and did not want anything in return. This video took a total turn that I wasn't expecting. This is a story of a kind and humble man. That wants nothing in return but peace. This message could also be trying to encourage others to become more generous. But we all know in today's society , this is pretty much nonexistence. There is so much violence going on in today's world. So many people want to be the chief and filled with pride. Then there are some that just wants to be heard. But the High Seat is not looking around to see the bigger picture, and how it is affecting families. Plenty countries in this world needs help with educational funding, housing development, and employment opportunities. We all know that the government ,or High Seat has the will to help the countries and communities with their financial struggles. It all starts off with basic foundation of success. No education, no future career goals, no life. Instead very few people are taking matters into their own hands, such as the man in the video. Doesn't really look like he

　　N.C.G.S 14-230 Willfully failing to discharge duties. This crime is being committed when any clerk of court, sheriff, magistrate, school board member, county commissioner, county surveyor, coroner, treasurer, or official of any of the State institutions, or of any county, city or town willfully neglects or refuses to discharge any of their duties of their office.

　　The basic assumptions of classical theory of crime causation is the belief that the majority of human beings are are fundamentally rational and that human behavior is the result of free will, meaning that people should be free to choose how they act.

Helping others doesn’t have to be difficult. We know money is an issue throughout life and we can’t just provide everyone with money. But what can that money actually do? Money is traded in for goods and services right, so in theory, we don’t need money to help others, the question is more like what can we do for another. There is always one job out there that can improve our lives; we don’t have to be millionaires to contribute; we just have to try.

Politically, socially, environmentally or one person at a time, how will you give back to society? Day in and day out many citizens change the world, or they do just the opposite and make the world a worse place than when they woke up. The article I chose to review is, “Community Service” written by Robert Coles. The article tells a story of college students who make a difference in the world through peer tutoring, an act of community service, and have such an impact that they act as role models for Coles and he begins to do the same. Briefly in the beginning of the article, Coles states that, “students are likely to express their lofty political and social impulses and practical desires to change the world through community service, even if in limited or modest ways.”(Robert Coles, pg.93) We must make an ultimate decision about the world we live in, will we choose to make a difference in the lives of fellow citizens or discriminate and punish not only them but ourselves by not sharing the knowledge we have been taught.

Another example of how altruism can be viewed in today’s society can be seen in the works of Mother Teresa and her plethora of altruistic acts throughout the globe. Although her focus was in India where she persued her novitiate (training), her organization has opened over 500 centers around the world helping the dying and the destitute (Moore 2002, pg. x). She took in the “untouchables” of society and gave them care and made sure that they were comfortable. Mother Teresa is often used as the benchmark when determining whether a selfless act is truly altruistic.

When I was eight years of age, I started to realize that there was an entire word outside of the town, state, and country that I lived in. I became concerned about the lives of others, even those that I didn’t know personally. I often thought “There are people in other countries that don’t even have enough water to live, and I am living an amazing life here in America”. Not only was I concerned for those people, but I took action to help them. It was then that I started a fundraiser to raise money for people that can’t afford the basic necessities to live in third world countries. To this day, I have been saving every penny I could afford to make sure other people can live a better life.

The “Pay It Forward” concept developed by Trevor required that a person assist someone with a major favor. In return, the person will ask for the recipient of the favor to “pay it forward”. To pay the action forward, the person must assist three more people with a large favor. The theory is that this will cause the movement to grow exponentially and to eventually change the world. This theory is reliant on the fact that everyone who is asked to pay it forward actually

Altruism, also known as selflessness, is one of the most puzzling topics in the public domain today. The main issue from the perspective of many scholars is how altruism can be effective. Even though many people get involved in lifelong altruism, only a few of them emerge to be effective in it. What could be the reason behind this? And what makes altruism such a common issue that everyone needs to engage in it? The producer, Peter Singer, puts on important points that give more light on the urgency of the altruism to the younger generation and how to make it effective in the long run.

It's time to start paying it forward, not paying it back. In the book Pay it Forward, a boy named Trevor got an assignment to think of how to change the world and put in action, which creates the Pay it Forward movement. Through the Pay it Forward movement, Trevor affects change, shows the power of one, and stands against the greater, me me me generation of society.
