Sales Analysis for Obscene Offroad and Fabrication

This is an analysis of financial information generated from the business Obscene Offroad and Fabrication. The services offered by this business included automotive, boat, and utility vehicle repair and fabrication. The company was in operation from 2006 through 2008 and had just become successful when the economy began to decline. One aspect to be analyzed is the parts versus labor sales and their effect on each other. Another analysis will include the cost and methods of advertising and its relationship to the sales figures.

The Profit of Slavery: Developing the Economy of the Colonies Through Slavery

The economic development of the North American colonies was essential for Europe. The most lucrative commodity for the colonies was the trafficking and use of slaves. From indentured servants to African slaves, the colonies’ economy was dependent on slavery. Through this dependence and continual trafficking of people from Africa the birth of different social attitudes towards slavery, such as racism and abolition, occurred.

Close to Home: The Survival of Slavery in the Modern World

Since the beginning of civilization, slavery has been rationalized and defended as necessary. Every culture has defined its own reasons for having the need for slaves. Today slavery still exists, especially in American. This slavery happens on a far larger scale than the slavery of the colonial and civil war periods , and needs to be recognized as a global problem.

Understanding Sex-Offender’s Cognitive and Hunting Patterns

Sex-offenders come in many guises. They can blend in with society and become an integral part of someone’s life. Different kinds of sex-offenders have different methods and criteria they use when hunting for victims, but commonalities exist. Cognitions and justifications can mirror their grasp on reality and the way they view their victims. There are misconceptions about who a perpetrator is. Added to that is the complexity of how victim-offender relationships affect violence used in the assault. After the assault, the survivor has the choice of reporting the assault. Treatment for convicted offenders depends on the individual.

The Effects of Learning Style on Memory

Claims have been made that different modes of learning in students can be improved by matching one’s teaching with the preferred learning style of the student. The two modes that are used to describe learning styles are auditory and visual learning. Some teachers believe they should take a student’s different learning style into account and match the mode of instruction to the individual’s learning style. However, there is little empirical support to conclude that this type of teaching should be implemented in classrooms. The current study tests if participants recall more items through auditory-only, visual-only, or auditory-visual presentation of material. It is hypothesized that participants who receive the auditory-visual condition will perform better than participants receiving either the auditory or visual condition independently.

Uganda – Education and Orphans

In my capstone I went into detail about the need for education and the lack of resources orphans in Mukono, Uganda have. I will present my idea to provide relief for this growing dilemma in Uganda. I will discuss funding solutions, staffing problems, and logistics for a grassroots organization to start in Uganda. I will also share a personal story about my experience in Uganda and explain how that helps me understand the needs of the Mukono people a little better. I won’t attempt to solve all Uganda’s problems, just propose ideas to help.

Growing up on the Family Farm during the 1920s and 1930s

This presentation is based on an oral interview with my mother, Margaret (Peggy) Bergquist, who was born in 1922 and is 87 years old. Her maiden name was Connor. She grew up on the family farm just outside St. Paul, Oregon along with two siblings, an older brother and a younger brother. At that time, the family had about 200 acres that included land along the Willamette River and Mission Landing. The interview covered what it was like growing up on the farm during the 1920s (Roaring 20s) and the 1930s (Great Depression).

Child Abuse Today and the Obligation of the Church

Child abuse is a big issue in the United States and is more apparent to observers today more than ever. In this paper I intend to focus on the church’s obligation to a child who has been abused or is at risk of abuse. Hopefully this research will enable me (as a Children’s Pastor) and others to help a child in need.

Evangelism: Relating to the World we live in and Telling it about Jesus

The message of Jesus is extremely important. However, this message has been reduced to quick Bible tracts we can hand out to people we don’t want to talk to or catchy billboards on the side of the highway. Examining the culture of this generation tells the importance of being a friend who cares about spiritual matters, and how the church should be present outside of its four walls.

Adolescent Addiction

Over 23 million Americans struggle with addiction every day. But the statistic I’m really looking for is how many of these 23 million are adolescents. Kids every day are faced with obstacles getting in their way of growing up, whether it is a peer forcing them to use because it’s cool or they are faced with a close family member abusing a substance. Either way these adolescents are victims and what we need to look at is how we can help them face their struggles with addiction.

The Importance of Social Emotional Learning and Counselors in School

School counseling is an important part of learning in schools today. It promotes Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and that is vital to a student’s life. In the schools, the bigwigs feel that SEL is secondary to other learning processes that go on in K-12. The school counselor is one of the first programs to get cut in schools today. These counselors play an important role in these kids’ lives and really have to stress SEL to these children. SEL can improve the classroom quality of a student, help those with aggressive tendencies, as well as be effective in the long run of life for that student. SEL is an important part of schools today. In order to teach that to children we need to have school counselors who can advise this and stress its importance in life skills.
