As you may have heard, Mr. Swift has made a very modest proposal about what to do with the situation of starvation among adults. Mr. Swift has proposed that after a year of a child's birth, they be eaten if the family wishes. I, being a mother of a baby, currently, could not approve of this proposal more. Me and my husband together, concur, this will allow us to not go hungry, but also fulfill our wish to have another baby. We've always wanted more kids, but we only desire a baby. We don't want them after they have grown older. We already have an older son. Now, with this proposal, we won't go hungry and we can stay full for months on end and all I must do is push out a baby. No big deal.

Fitting in has always been a challenge for me. Even though I have lived in Unionville since I was in kindergarten, I sometimes feel that I do not fit the role of a stereotypical Unionville student: a rich, well-rounded student with a 4.0 GPA.

“Northside Achievement Zone” someone replied when I asked, “What does NAZ stand for?” from that very moment I knew I wanted to learn more about this organization. After collaborating with NAZ, and learning about the services they provide to a community that I’m a part of, I then knew I wanted to be part of the organization. I believe that my passion not only for youth work but my passion to impact my community positively is what motivates me to become apart of the Northside Achievement Zone and push scholars to succeed.

My educational objective is to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Information Systems specializing in Systems Support. An education from GCU will give me the necessary knowledge to obtain my career goal of becoming one of the best Computer Network Architects in the US.

I truly can't understand why so many people feel it necessary to complain and point fingers both directions, but always claiming the DCS workers are all bad and doing wrong. Have you ever considered the ramifications of the negative attacks that are indefatigable to this agency? If you think that they should take more children from their homes, perhaps you should consider who will care for all of those children when there are no foster homes available and there are no group homes and there are NO DCS workers left willing to take the blame and beating when they are working for mere peanuts at one of the most stressful jobs imaginable that will never receive recognition regardless of how many lives they save or work tirelessly to help.

When I began the search for which college I was going to attended I never thought about Montana State University. I got a letter in the mail from the school telling me to apply. I began researching the school and became more interested. I knew the only way I would know if it were the right school was if I toured it. My mom and I came to tour in February of last year. As soon as I toured I knew it was the right school for me. It gave me a feeling as if I were home. While spending the next four years at Montana State University I hope to obtain a degree in sociology. I also want to have new experiences. I choose an out of state school to push me out of my comfort zone. I want to make life long friendships and enjoy what the school has to

When I first stepped foot on the campus of Western Michigan university, I felt as if I was at my new home. My tour guide, Cal, was very friendly and informative. Everyone on campus waved to our group. They were happy to see prospective students. The campus was beautiful and the living quarters were nice as well. I liked the interactions on campus and how personal the experience was. I like the small class sizes and statistics for success. I like that Western is a bigger school, but it is still quite small. I can see myself going to WMU in the future.

Motivation is the force that makes us do things, whether accomplishing personal goals or completing tasks at work. Most people are motivated as a result of their individual needs being satisfied, which gives them the inspiration to perform specific behaviors for which they receive rewards (Kinicki & Williams, 2011). These needs vary from person to person, as everybody has specific needs to be satisfied. When we consider factors that determine the motivation of employees, many of us think of a high salary. This answer is correct for the reason that some employees will be motivated by money, but mostly wrong for the reason that it does not satisfy other needs to a lasting degree (Bizhelp24, 2010). This supports the idea that human

Currently I am attending Houston Community College in Houston, Texas. I lost both of my parents at the age of one, and since then sacrifices was something my family and I had become accustom to. As the youngest some assume that everything is given to me. I had to teach myself how to become my own idea man. Rise by my God fearing grandmother was very challenging at times. With the help of God, family, friends, teachers and community also taught me the true meaning of hard work, responsibility, work ethic, teamwork, and dedication. I was a member/ student currently mentor with the Positive Black Male Association of Houston. Our mission is to empower youth, build strong bodies, minds and spirits in our homes. By impacting achievement and promoting

‘Motivation’ is derived from the Latin term ‘movere’ that means ‘to move’. Thus, motivation is a process that starts with a physiological or psychological deficiency or need that activates a behaviour or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive (Luthans). Broadly speaking, motivation is willingness to exert high levels of efforts towards organizational goals, conditioned by the efforts’ ability to satisfy some individual needs (Robbins). Need means some internal state that make certain outcomes appear attractive. An unsatisfied need creates tension that stimulates drives within the individual. These drives generate a search behaviour to find particular goals, that if attained,

Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology is devoted to the study of employee behavior in the workplace and understanding the issues facing organizations and employees in today’s complex and ever changing environment. Motivation refers to the set of forces that influence people to choose various behaviors among several alternatives available to them.
