Common Land and Property Terms Definitions and Examples

The land and property industry has its own language. Many words, idioms, and phrases are based on the law, while others are more common words that have a certain meaning when used in relation to land and property records, either current or historical. Understanding this special terminology is essential for correctly interpreting the meaning and purpose of any individual land transaction. Acknowledgment A formal statement at the end of a deed certifying the validity of the document. â€Å"Acknowledgement† of a deed implies that the interested party was physically in the courtroom on the day that the deed was recorded to swear to the authenticity of his signature.   Acre A unit of area; in the United States and England, an acre is equal to 43,560 square feet (4047 square meters). This is equal to 10 square chains or 160 square poles. 640 acres equals one square mile. Alien To convey or transfer unrestricted ownership of something, usually land, from one person to another.   Assignment A transfer, typically in writing, of right, title, or interest in property (real or personal).   Call The compass direction or â€Å"course† (e.g. S35W—South 35) and distance (e.g. 120 poles) that denotes a line in a metes and bounds survey.   Chain A unit of length, often used in land surveys, equal to 66 feet, or 4 poles. A mile is equal to 80 chains. Also called a Gunters chain. Chain Carrier (Chain Bearer) A person who assisted the surveyor in measuring land by carrying the chains used in a property survey. Often a chain carrier was a member of the landowner’s family or  a trusted friend or neighbor. The chain carrier’s names sometimes appear on the survey.   Consideration The amount or consideration given in exchange for a piece of property. Convey/Conveyance The act (or documentation of the act) of transferring legal title in a piece of property from one party to another.   Curtesy Under common law, curtesy is a husband’s life interest upon the death of his wife in the real property (land) that she solely owned or inherited during their marriage, if they had children born alive capable of inheriting the estate. See Dower for the wife’s interest in the property of her deceased spouse.   Deed A written agreement conveying  real property  (land) from one person to another, or transferring title, in exchange for a specified term called the  consideration. There are several different types of deeds including: Deed of Gift  -  A deed transferring real or personal property for something other than the normal consideration. Examples include a token amount of money (e.g. $1) or for â€Å"love and affection.†Ã‚  Deed of Lease and Release  -  A form of conveyance in which the lessor/grantor first transfers usage of the property by lease to the lessee/grantee for a short-term and token consideration, followed within a day or two by execution of a release of his right to recover the property at the end of the lease, in exchange for a specified consideration that more accurately reflects the true value of the property. Together the two documents act, in effect, as a traditional deed of sale. The lease and release was a fairly common form of conveyance in England and in some American colonies, to circumvent laws of the Crown.  Deed of Partition  - a Legal document used to divide property among several people. Often seen in wills where it is used to divide property among multiple heirs.Deed of Trust  -  An instrument, similar to a mortgage, in which the legal title to real property is temporarily conveyed to a trustee to secure the repayment of a debt or fulfillment of other conditions. If the borrower defaults on the requirements, the property is forfeit; the trustee may transfer the property to the lender, or sell the land to clear the debt. A trust deed may sometimes be called a  security deed. Some states use trust deeds in place of mortgages.  Quitclaim Deed  -  A record of the release from a seller to a buyer of all rights or claim, real or perceived, in a piece of property. This does not guarantee that the seller is the sole owner, thus only covers relinquishment of all  rights,  or even possible rights, held by the seller; not the absolute title to the land. A quitclaim deed is most often used to clean up title to a property after the owner has died; for example, several heirs may quitclaim their shares of their parent’s land t o another heir.  Warranty Deed  -  A deed in which the grantor guarantees clear title to the property, and can defend the title against challenges. Look for language such as â€Å"warrant and defend.† The warranty deed is the most common type of American deed.   Devise To give or bequeath land, or real property, in a will. In contrast, the words bequeath and bequest refer to the disposition of  personal property. We  devise  land; we  bequeath  personal property. Devisee The person to whom land, or real property, is given or bequeathed in a will. Devisor A person giving or bequeathing land, or real property, in a will. Dock To curtail or diminish; the legal process in which a court changes or â€Å"docks† an entail to land held in fee simple. Dower Under common law, a widow was entitled to a life interest in one-third of all land owned by her husband during their marriage, a right referred to as dower. When a deed was sold during the time of the couple’s marriage, most areas required the wife to sign a release of her dower right before the sale could become final; this dower release is usually found recorded with the deed. Dower laws were modified in many locations during the Colonial era and following American independence (e.g. a widow’s dower right might only apply to land owned by the husband at the time of his death), so it is important to check the statutes in place for the particular time and locality. See Curtesy for the husband’s interest in the property of his deceased spouse.   Enfeoff Under the European feudal system, enfeoffment was the deed that conveyed land to a person in exchange for a pledge of service. In American deeds, this word more commonly appears with other boilerplate language (e.g. grant, bargain, sell, alien, etc.) referring only to the process of transferring possession and ownership of property.   Entail To settle or limit the succession to real property to specified heirs, generally in a manner different from that set out by law; to create a Fee Tail.   Escheat Reversion of property from an individual back to the state by reason of default. This was often for reasons such as property abandonment or death with no qualified heirs. Most often seen in the original 13 colonies.   Estate The degree and duration of an individual’s interest in a tract of land. The type of estate may have genealogical significance—see Fee Simple, Fee Tail (Entail), and Life Estate.   et al. Abbreviation of et alii, Latin for â€Å"and others†; in deed indexes this notation may indicate that there are additional parties to the deed not included in the index.   et ux. Abbreviation of et uxor, Latin for â€Å"and wife.†Ã‚   et vir. A Latin phrase that translates to â€Å"and man,† generally used to refer to â€Å"and husband† when a wife is listed before her spouse. Fee Simple Absolute title to property without any limitation or condition; ownership of land that is inheritable. Fee Tail An interest or title in real property that prevents the owner from selling, dividing, or devising the property during his lifetime, and requires that it descend to a particular class of heir, typically lineal descendants of the original grantee (e.g. â€Å"the male heirs of his body forever†). Freehold Land owned outright for an indeterminate duration, rather than leased or held for a specified period.      Grant or Land Grant The process by which land is transferred from a government or proprietor to the first private owner or title holder of a piece of property. See also:  patent. Grantee A person who buys, purchases or receives property. Grantor A person who sells, gives or transfers property. Gunters Chain A 66-foot measuring chain, formerly used by land surveyors. A Gunters chain is subdivided into 100 links, marked off into groups of 10 by brass rings used to assist with partial measurements. Each link is 7.92 inches long.  See also: chain. Headright The right to a grant of certain acreage in a colony or province—or the certificate granting that right—often awarded as a means of encouraging immigration to and settlement within that colony. Headrights could be sold or assigned to another individual by the person eligible for the headright. Hectare A unit of area in the metric system equal to 10,000 square meters, or about 2.47 acres. Indenture Another word for â€Å"contract† or â€Å"agreement.† Deeds are often identified as indentures. Indiscriminate Survey A survey method used in the U.S. State Land  states which uses natural land features, such as trees and streams, as well as distances and adjoining property lines to describe plots of land. Also called metes and bounds or indiscriminate metes and bounds. Lease A contract conferring possession of land, and any profits of the land, for life or a certain period as long as the terms of the contract (e.g. rent) continue to be met. In some cases the contract of the lease may allow the lessee to sell or devise the land, but the land still reverts to the owner at the end of the specified period. Liber Another term for a book or volume. Life Estate or Life Interest The right of an individual to certain property only during their lifetime. He or she cannot sell or devise the land to someone else. After the individual dies, the title transfers according to law, or the document which created the life interest. American widows often had a life interest in a portion of their late husband’s land (dower). Meander In a metes and bounds description, a meander refers to the natural run of a land feature, such as the â€Å"meanders† of a river or creek. Mesne Conveyances Pronounced â€Å"mean,† mesne means â€Å"intermediate,† and indicates an intermediate deed or conveyance in the chain of title between the first grantee and the present holder. The term â€Å"mesne conveyance† is generally interchangeable with the term â€Å"deed.† In some counties, particularly in the coastal South Carolina region, you’ll find deeds registered in the Office of Mesne Conveyances. Messuage A dwelling house. A â€Å"messuage with appurtenances† transfers both the house, but also the buildings and gardens belonging to it. In some deeds the use of â€Å"messuage† or â€Å"messuage of land† appears to indicate land with an accompanying dwelling house. Metes and Bounds Metes and bounds is a system of describing land by specifying the exterior boundaries of the property using compass directions (e.g. â€Å"N35W,† or 35 degrees west of due north), markers or landmarks where the directions change (e.g. a red oak or â€Å"Johnson’s corner†), and linear measurement of the distance between these points (usually in chains or poles). Mortgage A mortgage is a conditional transfer of property title contingent on repayment of a debt or other conditions. If conditions are met within the specified period, the title remains with the original owner.    Partition The legal process by which a parcel or lot of land is divided between several joint owners (e.g. siblings who jointly inherited the land of their father upon his death). Also called a â€Å"division. Patent or Land Patent An official title to land, or certificate, transferring land from a colony, state, or other governmental body to an individual; transfers ownership from the government to the private sector.  Patent  and  grant  are often used interchangeably, although grant typically refers to the exchange of land, while patent refers to the document officially transferring the title. See also:  land grant. Perch A unit of measurement, used in the metes and bounds survey system, equal to 16.5 feet. One acre equals 160 square perches. Synonymous with  pole  and  rod. Plat A map or drawing showing the outline of an individual tract of land (noun). To  make a drawing or plan from a metes and bounds land description  (verb). Pole A unit of measurement, used in the  metes and bounds  survey system, equal to 16.5 feet, or 25 links on a surveyors chain. One acre equals 160 square poles. 4 poles make a  chain. 320 poles make a mile. Synonymous with  perch  and  rod. Power of Attorney A  power of attorney  is a document giving a person the right to act for another person, usually to transact specific business, such as the sale of land. Primogeniture The common law right for the first-born male to inherit all real property upon the death of his father. When a deed between father and son did not survive or was not recorded, but later deeds document the son selling more property than he bought, it is possible that he inherited through primogeniture. Comparing deeds of possible fathers for a matching property description may help to determine the father’s identity. Processioning Determining the boundaries of a tract of land by physically walking them in the company of an assigned  processioner  to confirm markers and bounds and renew the property lines. Owners of adjoining tracts often chose to attend the processioning as well, to protect their vested interest. Proprietor An individual granted ownership (or partial ownership) of a colony along with the full prerogatives of establishing a government and distributing land.

Quitrent A set fee, payable in money or in kind (crops or products) depending on the location and time period, that a landholder paid a landowner annually in order to be free (â€Å"quit†) of any other rent or obligation (more of a tithe than a tax). In the American colonies, quitrents were generally small amounts based on total acreage, collected mainly to symbolize the authority of the proprietor or king (the grantor). Real Property Land and anything which is attached to it, including buildings, crops, trees, fences, etc. Rectangular Survey The system used primarily in  public land states  in which property is surveyed prior to grant or sale into 36-square-mile townships, subdivided into 1-square-mile sections, and further subdivided into half sections, quarter sections, and other fractions of sections. Rod A unit of measurement, used in the metes and bounds survey system, equal to 16.5 feet. One acre equals 160 square rods.  Synonymous with  perch  and  pole. Sheriff ’s Deed/Sheriff ’s Sale The forced sale of an individual’s property, usually by court order to pay debts.

Kantian Triangle, By Immanuel Kant Essay - 2116 Words

Kantian Triangle Liberals believe the causes of war are miscommunication, mistrust, and misperceptions. As a solution, Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher, believed that to overcome international anarchy and achieve perpetual peace, there needed to be collective action (interdependency between states), and a federation of states in which state sovereignty will be left intact (international organizations). However, for this to occur, states must have a democratic government. This later became known as the Kantian Triangle. Kant assumed that states would act in self-interested ways and that repeated interactions would eventually lead to an expanding zone of peace – for example NATO. Like Kant’s theory, the Prisoner’s Dilemma is a model that posed that after continued repeated interactions, states would realize that it’s in their best interest to cooperate. Economic interdependency, also known as functionalism, proposes that states take cooperative ventures in nonpolitical areas such as the economy and security. This in turn will lead to greater interdependence and eventually, greater peace. Functionalism is a means to achieve peace now, starting with economic interdependence through international organizations such as the European Community. It is also a strategy in which international organizations, including the United Nations, use to promote interdependency and thus, maintain peace. Consequently, functionalism is most successful under a democratic government.

Importance of A Computerized System Efficiently tracking inventory is an imperative component to a small business;Russo; successful operation. By having up-to-date data regarding all needed office supplies, raw manufacturing materials and merchandise for sale, an organization will drastically increase its bottom line. In addition to the money saved by not reordering unnecessary goods, an enterprise will be better positioned to services customers quickly, as well as navigate any unexpected changes in business, such as a supplier abruptly going out of business. Although many companies maintain this information manually, there are benefits to using a computerized inventory system. No matter the nature of your business, you need to keep track of the products your firm has on hand. Keeping an accurate inventory is critical to lowering costs and providing a more streamlined operation. As a business owner, you can rely on traditional hand counting methods or institute some form of computerized inventory control. Both approaches have their benefits and drawbacks, and it is important to weigh the relative advantages carefully. Time Savings As the old saying goes, is The amount f time that can be saved by a business is, perhaps, the biggest benefit of using a computerized inventory system. A great example of this benefit is the retail industry. In cases where a shop maintains all data manually, its manager must reconcile each sales receipt with every piece of physical inventory’. Depending on the size of the establishment and how many different products are sold, this can be a daunting and time consuming task. If that same store, however, used a computerized point of sale, POS, system, the master inventory list would be updated electronically each time a sale is dad. The only thing a manager would have to do each day is print out the report highlighting the inventory to be restocked. Accuracy An additional benefit of using a computerized inventory system is the accuracy it ensures. Eighteenth century English poet Alexander Pope is often quoted as having said, liquor;To err is human. roux; When an inventory’ list is maintained by hand, the margin of error widens with each update. If one mathematical calculation is wrong or one typo is made, disaster may occur. For instance, if a clerk accidentally adds a zero to the end f a purchase order, a business could potentially end up paying for 1 0,000 units of merchandise as opposed to the 1 ,DOD that is actually needed. Consistency A small business operates most efficiently when its processes are executed in a consistent manner. By using a computerized inventory system, a business owner can ensures that all orders, reports and other documents relating to inventory are uniform in their presentation, regardless of who has created them. This will allow ease of reading. In addition, uniformity creates a professional appearance, which can go a long way to impress associates, such s potential investors. Speed and Efficiency A computerized inventory management system makes everything from inputting information to taking inventory easier. Doing a hand count of inventory can take days, but with a computerized inventory management system, the same process can be done in a matter of hours. Document Generation Once the computerized inventory management system is in place, managers and workers can use it to automatically generate all kinds of documents, from purchase orders and checks to invoices and account statements. Managers can also use the system to automatically order products when they run low. How to cite Introduce The Company, Papers

Discussion about Ethical and Financial Services

Question: Discuss about the Ethical and Financial Services. Answer: Introduction The current business structure is based on the changing time and the taste and preferences of the consumers. Every firm functioning in the economy tries to maximize profit by using extensive techniques and strategic business plans so that they can obtain a significant market share. It is seen that many organizations in order to increase market share and profit from the market uses unfair means to reach their goal. In order to do so, the organizations affect the ethics and morals of the society and the employees working within the organizations. The society plays a big role in the development of an organization as he individuals living in the society are the customers of the firm. It is important for every organization to function their business activity by not affecting the morals and the ethics of an individual or the society. Ethics play a big role in the life an individual as it comprises of the principles and moral that direct the behaviour of an individual (Welsh and Birch 2015). These behaviour are essential for conducting various activities in the day to day life. The evaluation of ethics is a significant role in the current life and one of the important tools for evaluating it is through the ethical lens inventory process that helps the students and an individual to understand the various values that determine their choices. It is essential in recognizing how a person prioritizes its values during the time of making an ethical decision. The current paper tries to highlight the ethical lens inventory process and how it affects the future course of life for the Global Citizenship concepts. Primary Definition The term ethics can be vastly explained as determining the actions and values of an individual. During the time of making a choice, everyone knows their values and motivations. The determination of each choice leads to the translation of our values into concrete actions in certain situations (Chartier and Plante 2013). The particular actions are then differentiated into ethical and unethical on the basis of whether the actions are similar to understanding of the observer regarding what the behaviour means. Morality: Everyone has various value sets that is helpful in deciding what to do. Though we share our values with each other in various communities like in the family, professional friends and others, the focus every individual place on the various values and the behaviours that means the living of those values as personal. The character values of every individual is created on their personal morality and it shapes over the life as one selects what kind a person he/she chooses to be and make decisions that is helpful in living those decisions. Ethics: It is known that everyone live in a community. It starts with our family to people we live around; everyone has an expectation about what should be traits of a good individual. As an individual grows up, they are aware of the norms, principles and rules which need to be abided while living our life. There are even conversations about the behaviours and goals that are treated as ethical. With the change in time, there are evolutions of standards and therefore there are continuous discussions what are the behaviours that are seen in a person with integrity, working with courage and provides justice to the community and the environment where they dwell (Collmann and Matei 2016). The term ethic can be divided into personal, professional and organizational ethics. These three types have their own definitions and determination of values that guide the progress of everyone living within the environment. The Ethical Lens Inventory The term Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI) is an online tool that comprises of thirty-six pairs of words or statements with compelled choices. The students or the individuals are given instruction to select the item that will reveal their actions and values if they had the option of choosing. The choices of an individual indicate the favourable ethical lens with the estimation that the default lens of a person is their chosen perspective taken while evaluating the moral dilemma. The ELI instrument keeps the students in their respective quadrants that comprises of one of the four vital ethical outlooks. They comprise of Deontological theories, consequential theories, virtue theories and justice theories that is helpful in allowing the more precise picture of the ethical choice in decision making (Hamori 2016). These above mentioned outlooks later complements to the four Ethical Lenses namely, Results, Relationships, Responsibilities/Rights and Reputation. However, in addition to recognize the four ethical outlooks, the instrument also depends on two perpetuities that express the values often discovered in tensions in the moral dilemma. It is seen that equality versus autonomy and sensibility versus rationality. The ELI instrument evaluates the students inclinations for entrusting sensibility, equality, rationality and autonomy in solving the moral dilemma (Jondle et al. 2013). The below given diagram represents the illustration of the quadrants and values in consideration that makes the ELI. Moral Reasoning It is essential to understand and have knowledge about the moral reasoning of the individuals and therefore, it is mandatory to recognise their judgment of their frameworks, theories and models they made use of while undertaking the moral decision. Similar to Ceranic (2013) the paper even evaluates the moral reasoning with respect to the capability of one person to evaluate and analyze various courses of actions and results while finding out an individuals stance by taking into consideration certain ethical principles or decisional rules. The paper therefore, uses the responses and analyses of the individuals to the Hot Topic Simulations as the method of their moral reasoning. Moral Decision Making There have years of research that reveals that moral behaviour is the effect of a multi-stage procedure. There are have been other researchers who have proposed four levels that acts as a foundation of this research. Firstly, it is essential for an individual to identify the presence of a moral issue or awareness. The next step involves taking a moral judgment also known as moral reasoning and then solves to behave morally even known as moral decision making. The last involves acting on their moral decision by intriguing in the moral behaviour. The process enables to test the moral decision making by looking at the responses to the Hot Topic Simulations (Stonehouse 2012). The answers of the individuals and the students are helpful in providing qualitative information that provides awareness about how they went about to discover that the moral concerns of the concerned time was most significant. Ethical Perspectives The value preferences of the individuals leave us in a particular ethical lens, which concentrates on various secondary values, the values that arrive from the meeting point of the values on the primary continuity (Long, Mertins and Searcy 2012). This placement explains that we need to giver importance to various values, which provides various prospects on the ethical issues. The position on the grid shows the preferred ethical lens and the pros and cons of the desired preference. Rights/Responsibilities Lens: The individuals in this lens focus on the core values of sensibility and autonomy. This quadrant has the symbol of a telescope as it takes a long view to discover the ideal values that are crucial for human beings (Litzky 2012). This lens highlights the works that shows the ethical issues known as Deontology. Result Lens: This quadrant concentrates on the core principles of sensibility and autonomy. This quadrant is symbolized by a microscope sign. This lens concentrates everyones attention on the actions as we make choices that will be useful to obtain the goals that have been set in life. This lens even concentrates on individual results and aims as they question everyone to identify what would make everyone satisfied and happy (Torres Jr 2012). As the concentration is on the results of the actions, these ideologies become a part of the technological tradition also known as utilitarianism. Relationship Lens: This quadrant looks ver the core principles of rationality and equality also known as the theory of justice. The symbol of this quadrant is of a binocular. It does not look at the extreme view but are encouraged to survey a definite community as justice is searched. This lens looks through a prophetic tradition, which asks to have a fundamental cleanliness and stimulates everyone to care for people who are unfortunate (Drover, Wood and Fassin 2014). Reputation Lens: This quadrant is similar to relationship lens as the core values of this section are equality and sensibility. The symbol of this section is represented by a camera and concentrates on recognising the functions, which are to be fulfilled in life and the aspect in which the work is done. The other idea that this section highlights is the frames and name of all the activities that is seen in our daily life. This lens abides with the technological tradition, which is known as virtue ethics (Isaacson 2013). The concentration of the lens is on the specific virtues the community believes that need to be cultured by the individuals who are in the responsible position. The secondary principles refer to those, which are in relation to a good character that is created through addictive reflective behaviour. Implications The understanding of the connection between the individuals ethical prospects, moral reasoning, moral decisions and moral awareness is crucial as it provides intuitions about how the designing of the ethics curriculum is undertaken and the efficiency with which students and the individuals are prepared so that they can deal with the moral dilemmas in life and society. If the results show that the business students moistly depend on a definite prospect while resolving the moral dilemmas, and helping them to understand and emulate on their ethical prospective references that that enables them to understand the relative strengths and weaknesses that every theoretical prospective offers when interpreting through the moral dilemmas and creating moral decisions (Finlay 2012). Moreover, if the analysis show that few prospects tend to the creation of greater moral awareness and enhanced moral decision making, this method establishes a base for the development of teaching arbitration to raise the flexibility of the students to make use of the other prospects. Furthermore, if for instance, it is seen that the individuals and students in the Reputation Lens are likely to display moral awareness and moral decision making, it can be seen that a design can be created. The design is created for learning activities, which concentrates on the culturing of characteristics within an individual that is worth a thought in their perceptions and has honest purpose. The implication of ethical lens inventory through all these concepts is helpful to the Global Citizen as the instrument takes into the consideration the total population and tries to underline the various principles available in the global community (Covrig, Ongo and Ledesma 2013). The ELI therefore analyses the cultural and intercultural values of various societies globally. Conclusion The above study therefore looks at the importance of ethics and morality of individuals and students all over the world by evaluating the various cultural values in different societies and communities and evaluates their effects on the moral character of a human being. The paper even highlights the point of moral reasoning and sensitivity that exist in the mindset of a human being as the individual grows up resulting to their activities in present life. The way a person leads his life is made up of all the moral and ethical awareness that they receive from their local community and family. The Ethical Lens Inventory is therefore a crucial tool in analyzing all the perspective of ethics so that the idea of a developed future Global Citizen in the world can be attained thereby making the individuals more ethical and good.

Schindlers List Journal Entry Essay Example

Schindlers List Journal Entry Paper The movie schindlers list had a couple of aspects that helped me understand Night. A lot of the book Night sort of reoccurs in the movie. At the start when the Jews were taken into the Ghettos although in Schindlers list it reminded me of the book except that I think in the book the setup of the ghettos was different, Elie didnt mention that there was a certain date that they had to be in the ghettos by. I just imagined the ghettos differently when I was reading Night then to how it was shown in the movie. The movie also showed me why a lot of the Jews werent able to escape when the officers came to the ghettos. Like when the boy tried to escape, when the Nazis camp to take the Jews from the ghettos, he was caught and shot immediately. Later on in the movie when the ladies were in the bunks at one of the concentration camps, it was an example of how the Jews were not willing to believe that any human could be so cruel. It is a lot like Night when Elie was talking about the optimists in Sighet, who thought that nothing so inhuman could happen to anybody.

I think that that scene is amazing. You can really feel the deepness of what he is feeling. When Schindlers Jews gave him the ring that also was powerful, giving Schindler everything they had as a sign of appreciation and gratitude. Another powerful scene is when we see the little girl in the red dress. Her part was like a before and after, at first we see her as young, innocent and alone, then later she is dead and being taken to the crematory to be burnt. I think Spielberg added this little girl in so that we have a important character in the camps, because we had seen her before and then we saw her dead it showed us that actual individual people died not just figures of corpses counted at the end of the war. An important scene is when Schindler changes from not caring about the Jews to a person who does care. After the girl comes and asks him to get her parents from the camps he is really angry then he gets over it and it transforms him into a caring person and from there his mission to save the Jews begins. That is the reason this scene is important, because it is the turning point for Schindler. I never new that the children were taken away from their mother like they were in the movie, while in their mothers were in selection the children were taken away on trucks, probably never to be returned. Also the gas chamber and showers that looked the same was something that I didnt know had been part of the camps I just knew there were gas chambers so that is very tormenting not to know whether in a few minutes you will be dead or clean,

Education essays

Education essays Everyday a middle class child goes to school. They are taught to read and write. This child is also taught that they will play sports in high school, have a perfect GPA and attend a good college. From kindergarten through a child's senior year in high school they are told taught what to want from their future. It is not always the books and the curriculum that shape these childens lives. It is the teachers who tell these children to study hard because college is going to be much harder. From the first day of school every child is shaped to the mold of what their parents, teachers, and society want. Coming home from the hospital every baby is introduced to their first form of institution. Each child's outlook on life is shaped by its parents. Parents teach child certain morals that are vital to live in society. Morals such as trust, virtue, humility, affection, honor, and respect. Morals are taught, but their are also things that are learned in a latent aspect. The parents of a child create a base for future learning that the child will encounter. If the parents install good morals such as the one mentioned above then their child has a good chance of becoming a active member of society. In the case of Bell Hooks, her "Mama" does a great job of instilling morals (Hooks 86). Bell goes to college and is able to be active within her social sphere. Although she did not feel comfortable, she was able to thrive within this small scale society of Stanford. Her ability to live within a society is proof that her mother instilled enough morals so that Bell is an diligent membe r of her college community. Hooks does well in a college atmosphere because of her upbringing and her educational back round. Hooks is from a working class home and attended public schools throughout her life. She has a humble backround, yet a great work ethic, and that work ethic enabled her to gain exceptance to Stanford. ...

Evaluate 2 aspects of effect of globalization in India in the last 5 Essay

Evaluate 2 aspects of effect of globalization in India in the last 5 years - Essay Example FDI has tremendous impact in economic development of India. Among the emerging economies, India offers the most liberal and transparent policies on FDI investments. The following table shows how FDI inflows from different countries flew to India. The maximum impact of FDI has taken place in service sector which at 21% includes financial sector, information technology, and travel business. Computer software and hardware businesses are next in the line contributing around 9%. Telecommunication sector has grown rapidly in India due to huge contributions by FDI. There is no surprise that Indian telecom industry which is growing at the rate of 45% has the highest growth rate found in the world. (Chaturvedi, Ila 2011) Indias growth story and FDI has direct linkages. Ratio of FDI Inflow to Gross Capital Formation rose to 9.6 percent in the year 2008, which was found to be only 1.9 percent during 1999-2000. In the same way, ratio of FDI Outflow to Gross Capital Formation went to 4.1 percent in the year 2008 which was ruling at only 0.1 percent during 1999-2000. (Ansari, Shamim 2010) India has been one of the most lucrative destinations for investment in the service sector for its competitive wages and due to huge demand and supply gaps in the sectors like insurance, banking, telecommunication and financial services. India has become a hub for back-office processing, medical transcription services, call centres, knowledge process outsourcing and back office accounting and financial services apart many other services including software and information technology business. The Indias average quarterly Gross Domestic Product Growth rate averaged 8.4 between 2005 and 2010 that reached at its pinnacle in September, 2006. This growth rate should be seen at the back drop of previous growth rates that prevailed around 5.5 percent before 2005. Globalisation means opening up of markets for

Understanding Challenges In The Third Sector Essay - 3

Understanding Challenges In The Third Sector - Essay Example Now besides donations, the organization charges for its services from people who can afford to pay, which enables them to look after poor and destitute people. Large businesses and corporations donate generously to such organizations in the form of cash and kind. They help with the purchase of equipment, construction and contribute whatever is needed for extraordinary circumstances. The public also trust charitable organization and appreciates the work that they are doing. The public also donates in their individual capacities according to what they can afford. Besides cash and kind, many people voluntarily give their time to these organizations, which spares the organization from spending money to hire people for performing these tasks. People also organize walks and other special events such as musical programs, shows or organize dinners for raising funds. All proceeds are all donated to charitable organizations such as St. Elizabeth to meet all its expenses. What I think is that to be successful, charitable organizations need a local as well as an international perspective. The local chapter addresses and looks after communal issues, while their global perspective, reputation and image is looked after by the international wing. In this technological age, the international image is as important as the local image and reputation of the organization. The global recession has left more people without jobs and needing help from charitable organizations. Cost of Medicare have more than tripled in the last decade, and even people who are earning well might not be able to afford medical expenses for their dependents, especially those requiring special care. With the economy in such a bad condition and people without jobs, it is not possible to raise adequate funds from local communities. Charitable organizations have to look outside their localities and sometimes even outside their countries for support for their charitable work. . I know for a fact

MPH503, Infertility and Public Health, Mod 3 SLP Essay

MPH503, Infertility and Public Health, Mod 3 SLP - Essay Example It can be assured from evaluating what was in the program, whether or not it met all the standards but the only way to know for sure that the information was absorbed is to in some way ask, and a post test answers those questions. Secondly, it is needed to know whether or not the instructors established a rapport with the audience (Griscli & Jacono, 2007). This can be known early by assigning someone to watch the reaction of the audience during the education. If the speaker does not engage the audience, they will not appreciate and learn the material involved. This is also very important in participant satisfaction. Other things that need to be determined are participant satisfaction, whether the participant felt that the objectives were met, and participant relevance. These thing can be best determined by a survey given to the participants at the end of the program asking questions directly related to this (Chambers, 2008). It is a good idea to not give the credit for attendance until the test and survey are completed. This will give you better information. The one item that is difficult to evaluate is "are they able to take this information back to their units and put it into practice?" Leaders are finding this to be the most difficult answer to get. There are some ideas, such as having supervisors evaluate the use of the information or evaluating practice to determine if the newer ideas have been added. Any of these things are quite difficult and quite controversial at this time, however. This leads us to the recommendation that there be more concentrated study on how to insure that educational programs are used as well as learned. Though our program has traditional objectives, there may be a need to change how those objectives are written (buinesstraining) and how they are evaluated. In conclusion, evaluation of educational

Importance Of Faith And Prayer In Islam Religion Essay

Importance Of Faith And Prayer In Islam Religion Essay The quotation from the course textbook (page 225) gives tremendous significance to faith and rituals of the Islamic culture, both of which are greatly highlighted in the holy book of Quran. The main source where Muslims gain an enormous amount of faith is from reading the holy book of Quran. One must fully believe and understand the messages written in the Quran to have complete faith in it as a Muslim individual because without faith, performing those rituals are useless. For centuries, the Quran has been preserved in its original form as it was first revealed to Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H). Any slight change in it can be easily detected, since over the years, the Quran has been memorized by millions of Muslims all over the world. The originality of the holy book for over a decade is a huge fascination on its own. Since its original script is from God, the Quran is able to hold a great extent of value in the hearts of its followers. The term religious rituals, as explained in our text are basically repeated actions or words that connect an individual to God. The religious rituals in Islam are a few in numbers, but each hold great importance to Muslims. The quote from the text reminds Muslims to keep up with prayers. The ritual of prayer, known as Salat, is the second of the five Pillars of Islam. These five pillars are the five practices that every Muslim is encouraged to perform throughout their life by the holy book of Quran. The ritual of Salat is a distinctive mark of a true believer. This ritual, performed five times during the day, provides a Muslim individual with direct communication with the Creator, the Almighty. The religious ritual of prayer is essential to all Muslims. An individual performs a ritual ablution (wadu), before each prayer, to be in a state of purity. Praying five times provides Muslims with a sense of punctuality in their everyday lives. An individual carries out a prayer in order to praise and admire God for his benevolence. Prayer gives one an opportunity to ask for forgiveness for all the misdeeds committed and also to ask the Almighty to guide him/her in the straight/ right path. As described in the Hadith, one of the sayings of Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) relates prayer to the convenience of having a stream flowing outside ones door. If an individual could easily bathe in this flowing stream of water five times during the day, he/she will have no filth left on him/her. Likewise, praying five times daily washes away ones sins. This repeated performance of the ritual keeps everyone remembering and fearing God throughout the day. The quote from the text refers to highly important claims and one cannot help but agree with them. Reciting the Quran and keeping up with prayers are the key factors that keep a Muslim connected to Allah, the greatest. Remembering the power of Almighty several times during the day is beneficial in endless number of ways such as keeping an individual away from evil or committing misdeeds and reserving a place in the afterlife (Jannah). These benefits clearly link the ritual of prayer with morality. The term morality, as defined in the text, is a set of norms designed to regulate and govern the conduct of humans. Religious rituals, on the other hand, help keep an individual connected to God and following in the path of guidance of the divine being. Prayer requires complete submission of an individuals mind and soul to the Ultimate. It reminds everyone that the Creator, the Almighty owns everything, including the Day of Judgment. Praying is not done by choice, but is rather obligatory s tarting at the age of seven. The religious ritual of praying can be seen as a true sign of having faith and the quote from the text greatly helps to signify its importance as mentioned in the Quran.
