The Tragedy Of The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald

Even though dawn had now broke and the sun began to make its way through the land of the Danes, the sinister laugh from the unsightly creature remained to haunt the minds of the survivors. Thirty men the monster murdered. The creature’s attack was cold-blooded in that it took place after every man was sound asleep and undefended. A few fortunate ones fell in their slumber while the less fortunate perished from the brutish beatings of the beast. His escape painted over the grounds of the misty forests and hills and lay a direct, crimson path to the creatures retreat. Of those lucky to have not slept in Herot, the lands finest mead hall, the most thankful was one of Hrothgar’s leaders, Aeschere. His choice of sleeping in his home was greatly affected by his son’s recent coming of age. Aeschere’s time had become his sons for he needed his father s mastery to become a mighty warrior like his father. Aeschere, chief warrior Hrothgar’s kingdom, was tasked with his remaining men to restore Herot’s beauty from the previous night s attack. The blood of the thirty men that coated the interior of Herot would prove to make the jobs of the grieving difficult. Any joy or festivity from the night before could not be found anywhere in the lord’s land that morning. Hrothgar, lord of the Danes, grieved the most of the men for he knew of no solution for his newfound problem. Word of Grendel, killer of Danes, spread through the breaths of the lord’s people.

The Civil Rights Law For Children With Disabilities

Throughout history there have been many educational mandates and laws in which have provided more opportunities for equal educational access. Section 504, the first Civil Rights Law for protection of students with disabilities was signed into law in 1973. This paved the way to many rights for students with disabilities to have a Free, Appropriate, Public, Education. This law in essence means, no program, that receives federal funds, can discriminate based upon their disability in which substantially limits one more more major life functions. Throughout this paper I will be reviewing the historical perspective on Section 504, the federal and state mandates, legal cases pertaining to Section 504, current issues, and applying the information to my current districts implementation of 504 plans. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was a legal protection for people with disabilities. It is a civil rights law in which prohibits any discrimination against people in any programs from discriminating. Congressman Charles Vanik from Ohio, and Senator Humphrey from Minnesota, proposed this amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It is a civil rights mandate, not a special education law.

The marketing manager of Nostalgia Incorporation Mr. Evans was in deep trouble as the company was facing huge number of sales drop and the competitive position of the organization have been lost (Bryman and Bell 2015). According to the researcher, the primary goal of Mr. Evans is to conduct a Market Research of their basic product and make proper changes in their product line to increase the number of sales accordingly. Therefore, by implementing market research of their datebook calendars Mr. Evans will be able to understand and identify all the possible shortcomings of their product that are not really appreciated by the customers due to which the sale of their calendars are drastically reducing year after year. The various steps through which Mr. Evans can solve the problem are as follows It is one of the fundamentals and it is very much needed to make a habit of prospecting. That means in creating a preplanned procedure to attract prospective client base from time to time. It is one of the best ways to target the organizational potential customer base and it ensures that an individual hit the essential number of calls to be successful in prospecting clients. Moreover, prospecting lead towards the attainment of cold calls, emails and personal calls that are the most enjoyable responsibilities of sales people (Hair 2015). Therefore, in order to increase the sale the marketing manager of Nostalgia Incorporation Mr. Evans must put more focus on prospecting. Scheduling Administrative Time: The marketing manager also needs to schedule their administrative time and put more focus on non-revenue generating activities like handling existing customer issues and processing sales paperwork. This will basically help in solving customer problems and Mr. Evans will be able to retain more number of customers for Nostalgia Incorporation (Babin and Zikmund 2015). The marketing manager of Nostalgia Incorporation needs to do an extensive market research of their potential customer base in Texas to ascertain the problem of their sales drop. A good market research will help in understanding what the customer is generally expecting from the organization and their product. Therefore, Mr. Evans will be able to make all those changes in their basic product according to the requirements and information provided by the customer and by doing so Nostalgia Incorporation will be able to get the potential customer back under their belt (Malhotra, Briks and Wills 2013). According to the researcher, the procedure that is needed to follow to determine the sale decrease is focus on all the internal causes of declining of sales. The factors that are taken into consideration are as follows: In this fast changing business environment, there are huge difficulties to manage change and there are several implications of these changes within the sales team. The most common disruptions are towards morale that eventually results in dropping down the sale of the organization. Therefore, in order to determine the valid reason Mr. Evans needs to understand the internal disruptions and take following measures to handle team conflict as it has a direct impact on the productivity of the organization (Farris et al., 2015). Ineffective Amount of Incentives: Often lower amount of Incentive towards the sales team lower the sales performance. Mr. Evans needs to discuss with all the sales people regarding their expected remunerations and other financial wants required to be fulfilled in order to increase the sale of the organization. The marketing manager need to update the organization compensation system and take a brief look in the sales team and try to focus on activities that are causing the sales drop accordingly. Mr. Evans must make proper discussions with the sales team members and try to find out the actual reason behind the sales drop (Johnston and Marshall 2016). Therefore, the actual reason can be identified by taking these procedures while most of the reasons will sound like excuses but not all will be and it will provide brief and valuable insights to allow in making all the adjustments that are required to get sales back on the track. Demand Exceeding the Sales Team Capacity: In many cases it is been observed that the excessive demand often results in the increase of sales volumes but in many cases it has been observed that this scenario is only a temporary effect. Therefore, as the capacity of the sales force and team erodes in the face of the increasing demand for the product the service capability tends to suffer and the organization losses the potential customers. There are several impact that arises due to excess of demand that includes inability to schedule appointments with new customers prospects due to decrease in time and there is always a situation of dilemma whom to serve first new or old customer that causes distractions and conflict among sales people (Hu, Koh and Reddy 2014). In addition, it can be concluded that all the above-mentioned procedures are needed to be applied by Mr. Evans in order to determine the actual reasons behind the Sales decrease. Mr. Evans must provide more efforts to solve the problems of the organization internally. As most of the problems arise within the internal environment of Nostalgia Incorporation and if all those situations are taken care of the sales volume will be increased in the future context. Moreover, s sound market research are also required in order to understand the customer choices and preferences regarding datebook calendars as with changing environment the wants and needs of the customer are also changing (Epstein and Buhovac 2014). Therefore, market research will be very much beneficial for Mr. Evans in order to determine the reasons and take proper measures to solve the customer problems that will enable the sales to increase for Nostalgia Incorporation.

Social and Political Effects of the Protestant Reformation Essay Example

Social and Political Effects of the Protestant Reformation Paper Martin Luther, a monk from Wittenberg, Germany criticized many of the attributes of the Catholic Church and compiled a list of reasons why he believed Catholicism was entirely flawed. This document was called the 95 Theses and lead to a movement called the Protestant Reformation which ended the unity imposed by medieval Christianity and signaled the beginning of a modern era. Luther’s propositions challenged some portions of Roman Catholic doctrine and a number of specific practices. He argued that the bible not the pope, was the central means to discern God’s word — a view that was certain to raise eyebrows in Rome since the pope was a very worldly figure and accommodated power in the Catholic church. He saw the bible as the most important factor to spirituality and thought that the Christian followers should abide by it as opposed to the orders of the pope. The system of the Catholic Church was constructed imperially giving some people more authority over others according to how financially stable they were. For instance, a Christian would take part in indulgences by paying for their sins to be forgiven granting them a position in heaven during their afterlife. This was seen as injustice towards the true meaning of salvation and was in no means a real way of having faith in God. The Catholic Church economically controlled a majority of Europe in the 16th Century as it heavily taxed 1/3 of its land. Luther saw Catholicism as a way of manipulating the lives of people and essentially drawing them away from God.

This stirred awe all over Germany a movement began to grow crystallizing a new basis for Christianity. In 1520, the Catholics recoiled in response to the growth of Luther’s followers and a Counter-Reformation was developed. This reformation combated the new reforms and assisted the doctrine and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Mendicant orders such as the Jesuits were formed to reinforce Catholic doctrine, and the Church continued to be supported by the major European monarchies. Ultimately, the Reformation created a north-south split in Europe. The northern countries became Protestant while the south remained Catholic. As old methods of the Catholic Church lost efficiency, and a new denomination of religion formed, political and social changes began to shake the foundations of Europe. For the wealthy, becoming a Lutheran was one way to keep their wealth yet still be given a chance for salvation without paying homage to Rome. The wealthy followed Luther as a form of protest against the Church. For the very poor, Luther offered individual dignity and respect. Not good works or servitude to Rome could guarantee salvation. Instead, faith held out the possibility of salvation. Luther also opened the doors to other theologians who agreed with his stance on the imperfections of the Catholic Church. John Calvin was an important figure to Protestantism who began the Swiss Reform Church. Ulrich Zwingli joined the Swiss Reform and developed radical ideas where he taught about theocracy: the idea that the church and government should be combined. Regardless of his successful achievements, Luther was unable to extinguish radicalism further astray. The German Peasant’s War of 1524-25 was instigated during which many atrocities were committed in Luther’s name. His attacks on the Catholic Church conveyed liberal language leading peasants to believe that he would support an attack on the upper class in general. Revolts broke out in Franconia, Swabia, and Thuringia in 1524, even drawing support from disaffected nobles, many of whom were in debt.
