Why Is John Lewis Successful

Firstly the role of accounting is to record business transactions in a systematic way, for instance recording the amount of sales made to customers by John Lewis. This is done by the business to keep the records accurate and updated as well. If bookkeeping is done incorrectly, this will result in the business processing wrong payments or billings. For instance, if John Lewis does not do bookkeeping, the business will end up making payment to wrong suppliers.

Everyone has turning points during his or her life, some of them change our mind, and some others change our life. In this essay I will be writing about an African American named John Lewis, he was born and raised in the State of Alabama and had several turning points during his life, some of them happened during his childhood and others as an adult. Many turning points are remarkable and well known by the society who has read about him, but some others are hidden somewhere and not too many people talk about them and how it influenced him, nevertheless all of them helped him to create his character and becoming the person who he wanted to become. For example, since almost killing one of his precious chickens trying to baptize it (because he

Jim Lawson is a civil rights leader who has had his story illustrated in a three volume hardcover graphic novel called March. It was written by Jim Lawson and Andrew Aydin, with art by Nate Powell. It was produced by Top Shelf Productions in 2015. This story covers the highs and lows of Lewis’ journey towards equality. Many of his influences are documented including; his childhood, a trip to New York, nonviolence workshops, lunch counter segregation, and the “Big Six”. It’s a powerful story that through its art, may capture the attention of those who frown upon traditional literary books.

Every person experiences specific points in their life that shapes who they are. This can be exhibited in the book March. Throughout the book the life events of John Lewis are displayed and it is clear to see that these events changed him. Even though many of the events in his life may have changed John Lewis, the turning points in John Lewis' life helped make him a more inspired man and more influential in the civil rights movement. John Lewis receives a bible, goes on to be inspired by MLK’s speech, gets arrested for his protests, and stops going home to his family as much all of which motivated him to help and support the civil rights movement.

Cons: The main reason any company would object to participating in CSR is the associated costs. With CSR, companies have to pay for environmental programs, more employee training and efficient waste management programs. Proponents of CSR agree that any expenses to businesses are ultimately covered by stronger relationships with key customers. However, David Vogel indicates in his Forbes article "CSR Doesn 't Pay" that investment in CSR programs may not necessary result in measurable financial results (Vogel, 2008).

In the book March: Book One and Two, the main character John Lewis takes part in the civil rights movement in 1960’s. While it's true that many events in his life did not increase his devotion to the civil rights movement and religious beliefs, I believe that John Lewis's beliefs and determination were reinforced by the turning points in his life. I believe the gift of his bible helped him grow stronger in religion, which helped him bring a sense of connection to the civil rights movement through Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words. Through that he started going to nonviolent workshops where he learned more about nonviolent protests, which started him on the road to joining the civil rights movement. This eventually pushed him to join the freedom riders.

Everyone in their life experiences a state of hopelessness. Whether it is a big or a small occurrence; it helps us shape up mentally or physically ready for the real world. In March, Lewis talks about the events in his life that we classify as his turning points which caused them to turn their life around. It is true that many events did not increase his will to protest. I think that John Lewis' life was changed by his turning points, there are four turning points what continues to affect him to this day. The four turning points that stand out are his first arrest, Lewis' trip to Buffalo with his Uncle Otis, Dr. King's speech, and when he decided to join the Freedom Riders.

John Lewis starts arguing about how the African Americans need a good FEPC bill that will protect them throughout work or it can help them gain more money with what they do as a job. Lewis reminds the audience that if the legislation doesn’t give a bill than many sharecroppers or workers won’t be safe anywhere, “We must have legislation that will protect sharecropper who is put off of his farm”. We put completely different things I put that he wanted to change the law enforcement but I don't know if that was right either The essence of Lewis’ argument is that they need a bigger person in the situation so they can bring a bill in which will let any farmers vote equally like the other white people. The significance of this statement or speech

By the middle of the century, one-fifth of Pike County’s 16,000 populaces were African Americans-all of them but ten were slaves. In 1813, General Zebulon Montgomery Pike, who John Lewis said never set foot in Pike County, got killed in a battle in Canada. After his death, ten counties decided to honor his name by establishing counties- including Alabama which created Pike County in 1821. The experiences of John Lewis helped to enhance my understanding of pre-Civil Rights African American life in the south by showing me that Pike County had their similar shares of cultural brutality; moreover, just as other counties in the deep south had. Furthermore, I learned that after the Civil War African Americans’ life in the South improved gradually.

The aim of this report is to explore the internal strengths and weaknesses of John Lewis and the external threats and opportunities for this organisation. Secondly, it will explore how John Lewis could use this SWOT analysis to benefit them in the future.

Their stores were also designed with the environment in mind, even though there had been no directive to do so from the executive level. These initiatives, as well as their more environmentally friendly manufacturing practices, such as using rail for shipments instead of trucks were, very much in line with the company’s corporate philosophy and culture.
