Weekly Discussion #16: Empiricism and Rationalism

Empiricists contend that our knowledge of the empirical world comes solely from sense experience. Rationalists argue that we can come to know what the world is like from pure unaided reason. The empiricists include philosophers like Locke, Berkeley and Hume. The rationalists count Plato and Descartes among others as belonging to their camp.

  • Compare and Contrast Empiricism and Rationalism
  • Express and discuss your view

Write two paragraphs on which of these schools of thought best explains where knowledge comes from and why? Try to refer to some of the arguments we have read about in both schools of thought. These paragraphs will be due May 4.

Discussion: Professional Networking and Your Elevator Speech

/in /by

I need help with a Management question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Discussion: Professional Networking and Your Elevator Speech

Louis Pasteur once observed that “chance favors the prepared mind” (Forbes Quotes, n.d.). You have probably heard of many chance encounters that led to an unexpected opportunity or a perfect job. It can happen anywhere and anytime, so you need to be ready. If you don’t want your career to be a matter of “chance,” you need to build your professional network. Having a great “elevator speech” is an important way you can prepare for any opportunity that may come your way, expected or otherwise. An elevator speech is a brief, convincing “impromptu” talk that conveys your uniqueness and professionalism in the time it takes to ride an elevator to your floor—because you never know who you may meet, or when. Furthermore, your elevator speech can contribute to your online professional profile on such sights as LinkedIn.com, where you can expand your networking opportunities.

For this week’s Discussion, you will discuss the importance of networking and branding to your career development. You will also craft an “elevator speech” that highlights your unique professional skills and knowledge.

RIP City

Portland is not just a great city. It is a city that has every kind of aspects such as parks, bars, sports, weather, etc. Sports are all over the place in Portland. Basketball for example is the famous and more popular sport in the city. The basketball team called Blazers. Blazers got their first championship in 1977 at their first time in the playoffs. However, “rip” means rest in peace, but not here in Portland. In Portland, rip city represent the basketball team, or Blazers as it is called. The nickname appeared when Bill Schonely screamed and said rip city during Lakers game’s when three point shot by Jeremy Barnes got in. Schonely knows how and why fans feel the way they do. If it weren’t for him and the emotions he evokes, none of the craziness, the fervor, the insane home crowds and peerless support would have ever come about. He said that “rip city means something good, something positive. Furthermore, Blazers’ fan believe that the nickname came from a lover to the team. They loved it and they will love for ever. On another hand, other teams’ fans might think that the meaning of rip city is the original meaning of it which rest in peace, however that might help Blazers to affect other teams psychologically. Additionally, imagining how much power could be found in one or two words by a famous person. Over four decades, these two small words has become special for both of the fans and the team itself. Nowadays, anyone can find rip city logo almost all around the city. Fans are crazy about it. This logo is very special for the Blazers, so use it as a representation for all kind of sports cannot be possible because the way it appeared, where it appeared, and who come up with it are things cannot be ignored. Tempers, Thornes, Vikings are sports teams where every one of them has something special. Tempers for example, cut piece of tree once someone soccer. These things are very important for the fan. Same thing happening with Blazers’ fan and rip city though.

include these question:

what this slogan says about the city’s passion for its sports teams.  Does it portray Portland as a city that’s crazy about sports?  Is that an accurate representation.  Why or why not?  Also, do the Blazers really have a home court advantage (in other words, are the Blazers’ more likely to win on their home court, especially in the playoffs, than other basketball teams)?

Write 11 pages with APA style on Gender and Leadership. Gender discrimination has long been an ever-present issue in the workplace. Discrimination against women has been the dominant type of discrimination observed in the workplace, especially in terms of hiring, firing, as well as being promoted or considered for salary increases, relevant assignments, as well as management or leadership positions. Such discrimination has been founded on traditional roles expected for men and women with men traditionally attributed the breadwinner role and the women being attributed to the homemaker role. As such, the men have been expected to find work and earn for the livelihood of the family, and the women have stayed home, bearing children, caring for the immediate needs of the family. From the 1950s onwards, new trends were observed as women have been prompted by financial constraints to find work and also help sustain family needs. Such trends grew to more significant proportions, to the current trends which have now been observed in society. Men and women are now equally expected to find work, have careers, or simply work for themselves, not necessarily for their families. Regardless of the seeming egalitarian situation, such work conditions have created, issues on discrimination have still been observed. Moreover, such issues have also been very much apparent as far as leadership or managerial positions are concerned. The male: female ratio for managers in organizations very much favors more men occupying leadership roles. However, organizations are often quick to dismiss such trend, arguing that the difference is mainly caused by the fact that men are more interested in gaining managerial roles, and that women can have as much chance to be leaders much as men.

Body Image

XXXX, “Body Image

What is so unfortunate is that girls are getting pressure from all sides. The media wants them flawless and skinny, their boyfriends want a large chest, perhaps, maybe curves…the problem is that for girls who aren’t stick skinny, and don’t have curves and a size 36C chest, they feel as though they aren’t measuring up to any standards. It’s awful and ads that are ‘fixed’ in Photoshop aren’t helping.
