World Equivocal Analysis

If I were the current CEO for the United States Postal Service, I would be gravely concerned about the future of my business, as it has recently taken a steep plummet from its success and popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries. The USPS is now faced with the decision to renovate itself due to the extreme loss of business as technology takes over the 21st Century. Some say that the USPS should be entirely reconstructed because the business is only headed further downhill, while others say that paper mail is still very practical, more so than e-mail, and we must each write more letters to do our part in reviving the business to profitability again. Because the USPS has been such a vital part of our country through

During the years 1200 to 1500 CE, two ideal empires, Mali of Sub – Saharan Africa and the Aztecs of the Americas developed into truly influential and powerful empires. Both empires shared a similarity in economy but a different society. The Mali and Aztecs both traded, but while Mali traded with Islamic regions developing Islamic institutions within its borders, the Aztecs traded locally consequently not being influenced by outside cultures. Both Empires differed in society in which women in Mali tended to have more rights than women in an Aztec society whom they had little to no role in their society. Also social structure of both societies varied in which Mali had extended families and clans serve as the main foundation of their social

According to a Case Study-United States Postal Service (Jan 06, 2010), retrieved from: http://www.slideshare.net/bakeursilly/usps; since 1175 when Benjamin Franklin was appointed as the first postmaster general of the United States, the agency known as the United States Postal Service (USPS) has grown to become an institution that delivers about half of the world’s mail in snow, rain, and the dark of the night. Employing about 656,000 workers and 218,684 vehicles, 36,496 total retail and delivery facilities nationwide, 599 processing facilities, 584 million pieces is the average volume per day, and a total work hour of 1,258,025 per year delivering over 200 billion items per year via air and highway.

The Post Office Department known as the United States Postal Services (USPS) (Annual Report, 2009) today, is a dominate player in the mail delivery arena and has been existence since 1776. The Post Office was originally a governmental agency, but due to mismanagement by Congress, was reorganized in 1971 and no longer a part of the presidential cabinet; but became an independent establishment of the executive branch of the Government. To date, the USPS maintains a monopoly on the day-to-day delivery of mail but competitors do share the market on some of the other types of deliveries; shares the market on some of the other types of deliveries (i.e. express

Otis Smith and Dr. Clark Smith in Redford, Michigan from May 2000 to December 2001 (I only stopped working in order to take care of my newborn daughter), I was able to learn a lot about oral health, dental equipment organization, and equipment sterilization. I also became familiar with the medical working environment and enjoyed helping people feel better as I had to communicate with our customers on a regular basis. I always knew that my passion was to work in the medical field because I have always enjoyed interacting with people and learning about biology as well as chemistry. My externships as a Central Service Technician (CST) trainee and as a Pharmacy Tech trainee have taught me to be even more detail-oriented with a strong focus on accuracy and efficiency. I have also been able to learn a lot more about pharmacology, surgical equipment, surgical procedures, and the importance of keeping a safe and sanitized working environment as I worked at St. Mary Hospital, Harper University Hospital, and CVS

One way the postal service can become more useful is to become more involved in e-business(Source A). If more people are emailing and using internet for communication, the postal service should become more involved and get their name and business out there. Another way to rebrand the USPS is to make a play for control of government broadband[Internet Access](Source A). The government is making rapid plans to expand broadband access. If the government puts this underneath the postal service, this would be able to make create a new name for the postal service. It could be defined as a communications-delivery service rather than a perceived, “team of letter carriers”(Source A). A final way to help reconstruct the USPS is the rebrand. As simple as it sounds, the majority of the people in the United States today do not understand the importance of what the postal service means to our country. The brand of the USPS also does not give a good perception of what they do and how they do it. “Fly like an eagle, what does that even mean”(Source A). Many people do not know what this means. “A company’s brand is its most valuable tool, or its biggest liability(Source A). The USPS can easily reconstruct themselves as a communications-delivery service by changing and rebranding their company. Using e-business, government broadband access, and rebranding can all be steps and help grow and continually make the USPS a more useful source of

Buddhism is very different from the Christian worldview. The first question ask about the origin of Buddhism. The Buddhism faith could be viewed as being atheistic. According to Buddha life was never here to begin with so it is a waste of time to think of where we came from. Also Buddha says if God exists then it is irrelevant, impersonal, and agnostic. However, the Christians faith believes the opposite. Christians believe that life began when God created life. “In the beginning God created everything in the world. God has an image and created all of what we see today. (King James Version, Gen 1:1-31)

The ‘quest’ continuum measures the degree of importance the individual places on existential questions, but does not necessarily feel an urgency to have answered. An example of this would be an agnostic, or a philosopher who enjoys the process of examining these kinds of questions. A person on the high end of this continuum would tend to have doubts about religion, and be tentative about religious viewpoints.

USPS requires all mail carrier to have stamina to walk and have strength to carrier their mail bags around on their shoulders. Mail carrier does not have to have any experience to do that job. Mail carriers are in training up to 1 months or less than a month. In between those 3 months you are trained to put all mail in the correct order. Those who have a mail route initially work alongside an experienced mail carrier. While in training you get paid according to how long you are in training. Class room conduction is available at some post office to learn the safety issues on defensive driving. All mail carriers all trained to drive the mail truck on the opposite side of the steering wheel. Postal service begins as a part time worker and work they selves up to full time. In training they receive new equipment when need. Mail carriers are not to get out their vehicle to put mail in the mail boxes. In order to be trained you must be conducted by a worker that knows what he or she are doing. All mail carriers are trained to pick up on 70 pounds boxes. Being in training you learn how to scan package. Beginning mail carrier will learn how to case mail up, learn addresses. Also you is taught where to put the unfamiliar mail and what everything goes. Mail carriers are trained every day when they come to work. After your 1 month of training is over that’s when you are responsible for the things that you do. Manger can choose to use a nun postal if it’s their choice. All mail carriers trainers should record the Learning Method System of record. The LMS is use to document and maintain individual training records for all postal employers. All registration is accomplished through the variety of method including training, administration, and the enrollment system. Mail carriers that are in training do not make that much money starting off. Ounce every things get right their pay will

Over the years, the Postal Service has played many roles. By statute, the mission of the Postal Service is to “bind the nation together.” This is typically thought of as providing hard copy delivery. But, historically, the mission of the Postal Service has been broader, including educating and informing the public, enabling commerce, and representing the federal government in local communities. The key to determining the appropriate future business model of the Postal Service is clarifying its role. What future role does the

During this semester I had the opportunity to work along the side with many dentists, hygienists, assistants, treatment coordinators, and also financial coordinators at Dental Associates of Manchester. Dental Associates of Manchester is located at 120 E Fayette Street, Manchester, Ia 52057. While I was on the work site at Dental Associates my job duties were to watch how the dentist and hygienists work and clean inside a patient's mouth and their full routine of what they do before a patient comes in and after a patient comes in. While I was working up front my job duties were to watch and see how they interact with customers and how they go about signing in patients checking them out and also scheduling them for their next appointment if necessary.

Going into this job shadowing experience I did not expect to get hands on experience the way I did on some days. On some days I got to go in patients rooms and interact and make conversation with the patient. The nurse guided me, and showed me what exactly her day was like and what she was going to do with the patient that day. Some patients were better off than others which was very sad to see but is also reality. Once I get a job in this field I have to realize that.

For my mentor project, I chose to shadow Dr. Kristen James, D.O., a young emergency room Physician (approximately 33-34) who works in the E.R. at Tenova North Knoxville Medical Center. The length of all emergency room shifts are twelve hours—7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., or 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.— but for the sake of the well being of my mind and body, I only shadowed for a half of a shift (11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). I had previously shadowed my father in the same emergency room for a twelve hour shift and I knew that I definitely did not have the stamina to make it through another one with a clear mind or comfortable feet. During this essay, I will be tying in some useful comparisons between shadowing my father vs. shadowing

Jessica Becker at Becker Family Dental. This dentistry is the one that my family and I go to, so I was able to avoid the initial feeling of dread, per se. Dr.Becker is a self-employed practitioner who owns and employs her own business. This career fell into the (medical) science field. The dental office was quaint and and overall there were around eight ladies working at the dentistry. The office had a waiting room and three dental stations, along with Dr.Becker’s office in the back. Another room in the back served as a storage room, in which they stored all their materials, implants, and cleaning/sanitizing machinery. All the ladies who worked there were friendly, and they conversed in between clients. The atmosphere of the dental office was calm and relaxing, mostly due to the fact that it was a weekday. There was not too much bustling about—everyone just went about at a decent pace. Whenever there was a client, the workplace became focused on getting the job done and as efficiently as possible. Being a dentist requires one to have a steady hand while working in a client’s mouth. Another part of being a dentist requires you to be friendly, so Dr.Becker often struck up a conversation with her clients. At times there were no clients, so the dentistry became a bit slow and monotonous, but that is expected on a weekday. Weekends are much more crowded, as people are home from work. This is a career that I could look

As a retired United States Postal Service employee, I can tell you from experience that working there is a life changing and rewarding experience. It’s a job that gives you a sense pride and accomplishment at the end of your workday. Furthermore, it can be an outstanding opportunity for someone without a degree or with limited formal education. Working for the Postal Service has the potential to improve your quality of life with exceedingly competitive compensation and benefits.
