Together, the Father, James, and David strived to maintain equality by helping with the chickens and taking care of Scott; however, despite the effort that they had put in, the Mother refused to be persuaded that Scott was of any value and therefore she felt that selling him would be most beneficial.

One of the HR challenges that Shell currently faces includes a bureaucratic structure that hinders effective decision making and performance at the local level. Peter Voser, the Shell Company CEO since October 2008, has been committed to breaking down bureaucratic barriers that impede performance and has consistently emphasized diversity and inclusion. Despite Voser’s recognition that different people bring different perspectives that offer value, it cannot be ignored that he was selected as CEO during one of the worst economic recessions since the Great Depression. Due to the effects of the economic recession in addition to rising internal operating costs, Voser’s focus toward advancing diversity and inclusion within his organization has been challenging. According to Diversity Journal, “Shell’s leaders, including CEO Peter Voser, are firmly convinced that, as Shell moves forward, the importance of...
In the roaring twenties, the life of organized crimes was at its peak. What was the greatest mob hit ever pulled off in history? Well I'll tell you. It all happened on Valentines Day, the morning of February 14th, 1929. This incident was call, "The St. Valentines Day Massacre". The man behind this infamous crime was none other than, the infamous Al "Scarface" Capone. Al Capone was the all time greatest mobster of all time. The idea of organized crime fascinates me in so many ways. Capone was the only person to have pulled off such a crime. Al Capone was top gangster in Chicago and was one of the greatest members of the Italian Mafia and George "Bugs" Moran was the leader of the Irish/German mafia and he was the main target behind this hit. He targeted Capone because Al Capones had a bounty on his head, $60,000,000, and found George Moran as a threat. George was Capone's biggest threat of all. He needed to take him out quickly. (Al Capone, True Crime Story). Writing this paper will let me learn a lot more about this massacre. There is one question I would like answered, "Why hadn't Moran's crew made an attempt to fight back?" (Al Capone, True Crime Story). Moran's men had a long history of being violent with others. This is one question that we will never know. My most used source on this essay will be internet information and a book. I feel these sources will give me the most amount of information. Using a magazine will too but it was very hard to find a 20's magazine article.
