File #1
Fist one

The relationship between the mother and daughter is very sacred and the relationship between Jing-Mei and her mother is so much more unique. Because of a devastating loss of her first husband, mother and father, home, and two twin baby girls, Jing-Mei’s mother only wanted her daughter to unveil her fullest potential. So coming into America, she wanted nothing but the best for her daughter. No mother wants to see their child struggle, this explains why the mother was so harsh on her daughter to be “famous” and or a “prodigy.” With this being said, she pushed Jing-Mei into trying various “talents” so that she can become the next prodigy in America. All of these “talents” Jing-Mei’s mother had her do caused her to have a resentment towards her mom. I am not condoning the mother’s behavior but I do understand her intentions.
The humor used in this story by Jing-Mei mainly because this story is a very unfortunate one. For example, when Jing-Mei nicknamed Msr. Chong, “Old Lady Chong.” The author described “Old Lady Chong” as having “…a peculiar smell, like a baby that had done something in its pants, and her fingers felt like a dead person’s, like an old peach I once found in the back of the refrigerator: its skin just slid off the flesh when I picked it up.” This helped lighten up the tone of the story.
The importance of the two song titles, “Pleading Child” and “Child Contended” all tie together to the author’s childhood. “Pleading Child” was a desperate cry to her mom to finally understand her and her feelings. I believe that ”Child Contended” is about Jing-Mei being misunderstood her entire life. In conclusion, I believe that her mom’s gift, the piano, is a peace offering to Jing-Mei and a sign that her mother finally understands what she put her through and her everlasting love for her. The significance of the title “Two Kinds” is what the author explained “Those who are obedient and those who follow their own mind.” At the beginning of the story, Jing-Mei made it her goal to be obedient in order please her mom. After reaching her limit, she finally followed her mind and ultimately lived her life the way she wanted to.

Second one

“Two kinds” short story is an important illustration of mother-daughter relationships involving generational differences. Jing-Mei desperately aspires to make a career in singing and dancing. Her mother, on the other hand, is opposed, because she considers her daughter a genius. Suyuan persistently pushes Jing-Mei to make efforts in improving her talents, and this causes a drift between them. The fact that they are immigrants in America makes it hard for them. The mother’s painful past back in China also played a great role in their relationship. Jing-Mei, however, believes that she could still fulfill the American dream. Suyuan expects more from her daughter because she has this belief that Jing-Mei is gifted just like her friends’ kids. She believes that having talent is what is best for her child.

The author has effectively used similes to make the short story humorous. Jin-Mei great sense of humor for a moment distracts the reader from the sad story. When referring to people who come to see her perform, she calls them gawkers. She describes old lady Chong to be as smooth as a baby; the comparison easily puts a smile on the reader.

The song titles’ “Pleading Child” and “Child contended” played a great role in the story. They represent a long journey through childhood. They refer to a balance between parental expectation and youthful ambitions. After Jing-Mei had realized the last part of the song, there was a grasp of the reality of what is expected of her. Suyuan is offering her daughter the piano after so many years of nobody playing it symbolized peace that was being restored in their relationship.

The title deeply illustrates the struggle between mother and daughter. It elaborates the kind of daughters that Suyuan the mother, understands: those that obey and those that follow their paths. Jing-Mei’s lack of talent and her failure to honor Suyuan wishes was a great disappointment.

Apply three technology changes covered in the course to your organization and explain how they will affect your processes and your management.

1) advance materials

The paper that you are writing on your organization can cover any technological changes we have covered in class. You are not limited to the one you are exploring in the above assignment. The reason you are posting your articles to Canvas is so that others can have access to them for possible use in this paper.
You will focus your paper on three technological changes covered in the course that you believe will affect your organization in the near future. (Any organization is fine)

8 pages minimum.

For each of the three technological changes:
•Identify the technological changes and explain how they would be implemented in your organization including changes to your organizational process(es)
•Explain the changes to your managerial process and/or style that the technological changes would produce. (For example, using video technology for meetings wouldallow employees to work from home or any location in the world with internet access. This would change how these employees are managed and how their performance is measured.)
•Explain the expected organizational performance outcomes of implementing these technological changes and how you will measure those outcomes.

Part One: The Facts

How are the number of electoral votes decided for each state? How many electoral votes are in your home state?
Which Presidential candidate (Obama or Romney) won your state’s electoral votes in the 2012 election? Which of these candidates won the popular vote in your state?
Part Two: The Controversy

What are the most compelling arguments you found for continuing to use the Electoral College?
What are the most compelling arguments you found that were in favor of abolishing the Electoral College?
Part Three: Your Position

Explain what you think. Should the U.S. maintain the current Electoral College system,move toward a national popular vote system, or use the “proportional voting” system forthe Electoral College used by Maine and Nebraska?
Why do you think the system you chose is the best of the three systems?
What impact might that have on voters? More engaged? Less engaged? The same?
Please note: You will need to do research to complete this assignment, however; you may not use websites such as “ask.com” or “wiki answers” to inform your responses. There are plenty of great resources which are far more credible and will provide a much more complete understanding of the topics we are exploring. We suggest the following sites to help you find the information you will need:

As always, be sure to identify any direct quotations you draw from a source by identifying the source and by placing those words in quotation marks (no more than 20% of your essay can be quotations). The source of any ideas or facts you include should also be identified whether you use the direct words or not. Additionally, you should include the links to any news articles or websites you visit by copying and pasting the link at the end of your assignment.

Read this link :http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/guatemala.mexico/thestory.html

Why don’t the farmers in the video drink coffee? Why is there no domestic market for coffee in Guatemala and only one Starbuck’s in Mexico?
If coffee growers are getting so little money for their product, what explains the cost of a $ 4 coffee drink from a coffee stand? What other factors are involved in the product chain?
Is the consumer of a cup of coffee part of the problem or part of the solution when it comes to the lifestyle that a coffee producer can afford?
Still, though voter turnout in battleground or swing states does tend to be higher, demonstrating that voters in other states may feel less inclined to cast their ballot, especially if they do not follow the majority within their state, there are some compelling reasons why America continues to use the Electoral College to choose its leaders. In this assignment, we will work to identify and describe some of those reasons.

For this assignment, write a 500-750 word essay which examines the Electoral College. Your essay should have three distinct parts: The facts (looking at the numbers), the controversy (summarizing the arguments), and your position (how you weigh in on the merits/problems with the Electoral College). In your essay, answer each of the following questions—they are separated by each part to help guide your response:
