The United Way of America is a charitable not-for-profit organization who has been around since 1987. United Way made fundraising easy by coming up with the idea of receiving money straight from worker’s pay checks. This system created large amounts of money, that was donated to smaller local charities. This organization was built by William Aramony, who was the CEO until 1992. Aramony created a bad public image by giving himself to large of a salary, which forced him to resign. The board of directors

corruption/greed, media takeover, and ignorance. Corruption is one of the worst evils to enter society; it has seemed to become a type of faith on its own. The way it is evil is that corruption has blinded society by the way we think and act, it allows people in society to think that doing evil things is an ok thing to do. The reason corruption has changed the way society thinks is, when we hear that it has not only led to the breaking of the managerial system and weak authority, but also some serious causes
leading ability very well by the way he treats the kids. He said “We can’t have everybody talking at once. We’ll have ‘Hands up’ like at school” (33). Apparently, Ralph has a democratic view of governing: he wants everybody to have a chance to speak out. By saying this, Ralph built a good image of himself to make others support him voluntarily. “Ralph held out the glimmering conch and Maurice took it obediently” (88). As a result, the boys truly respect Ralph like the way he respects them. Ralph was very
The Road to Character Our society today in the United States has a cultural mold that they would like to see everyone fit into. It goes beyond how successful of a career you have or if you are married or not, the majority tries to sway opinions politically, spiritually and in other ways, these are the winds of culture that I want to stand up against. In The Road to Character, David Brooks uses a novel from Leo Tolstoy to show an example of a man named Ivan Ilyich who fits the social norm but started
1. What is a single story? A single story is many things: an assumption, a prejudice, and even a single-sided point of view. It is a way of sharing information that implants a preconceived notion about a place or a group of people in the minds of others. Single stories “…show a people as one thing, as only one thing, over and over again, and that is what they become” (Adichie “The Danger of a Single Story”) in the minds of those subjected to the stories. It highlights differences, and fails to truly
Brilliant Lies - In many ways, Susy is just like Gary. Do you agree? In many ways, Susy is just like Gary. Do you agree? Susy Conner, and Gary Fitzgerald. Both are Brilliant liars - and seemingly total opposite gender counterparts of each other. To say however, that they are alike simply because they are liars is to place them into a frame that is far too restricting and incomplete. No, the similarities - and even differences - between Susy and Gary lie beneath the surface. It is in these

by Felicia Morgan’s attorney, Robin Shellow, that the environment in which Morgan grew up in was somewhat comparable to a “war zone.” In some ways I agree with Shellow and believe that there are similarities between the two. Although the attorney makes it clear that there is a difference between the ghetto and a war zone and that the ghetto is in some ways worse. Shellow starts off by saying, “In war, there is at least a sense that someday there will be a resolution, some vision that things could
The book, Studies in Galatians, by Tom Wacaster was an excellent study and very well put together. I felt he did a great job gathering others together to elaborate on some of the main points from this book. From the beginning, the author let you know, in the introduction a specific direction he was aiming toward even though the introduction seem to be a bit long. However, after I looked at it upon completion of reading, I appreciated it more than when I read it the first time. When you take second
understand the process of listening there are ways we need to break it down. You must be able to master these different skills in order to learn how to listen. One of the biggest things I personally do is make assumptions about what things specifically mean. I make my own judgement of an event that takes place and I put what I think the meaning behind it really is. This in return can make me not understand situations fully because I wasn 't listening in the proper way. For example, back my husband and I
