In Search Of Excellence: Review
... ridiculous. The organization of workers must
adjust and adapt to the new manager's way of business.
Another more main topic of the novel is the Eight Basic Principles.
Their research had shown that the excellent companies had been based on the
basics. The companies had to try to keep things simple. Sometimes, to a big
business, it might seem logical that business should be run more complex the
larger it is. From their research, this is usually not true. The first
pricnciple is a bias for action. This is basically saying "Stop talking and do
something about it." When Taco Bell has a rush of customers and their supplies

Animal Farm Essay
... ideas like the committees and the
windmill. He was a better thinker than Napoleon.
When all the animals helped kick Mr. Jones off the farm, Snowball led
the animals to the store-shed and served out a double ration of corn to
everybody with two biscuits going to each of the dogs.
Napoleon on the other hand was very selfish. He stole milk that was
meant for everybody and drank it all, and he stole apples. He doesn't care
about the work the animals do, just what would benefit him.
For example, Napoleon comes up with the building of the windmill that
would supply electricity so they would not have to work as hard. Napoleon was
against this because he didn't come ...

Kate Chopin's Controversial Views
... Chopin grew up knowing that women could be strong and intelligent and that
they did not have to be submissive creatures (Skaggs 2). She loved her
mother and considered her "A woman of great beauty, intelligence, and
personal magnetism" (Seyersted 14).
Growing up around independent women, however, did not dissuade her from
marriage. Her marriage to Oscar Chopin by all accounts was a happy one.
Taking on the role of a high society lady as well as wife and new mother,
Chopin fit in well with the New Orleans culture. She enjoyed the Louisiana
atmosphere so well that most of her writings were based here. Chopin
continued living in Louisiana raising her six young ...

a basement door.

the man, warning the man that they would discredit him in every way
possible unless he compensated the girl. The strange man agreed to offer
100 British pounds.

Feminism In Jane Eyre
... opportunity existed for women, and thus many of them felt
uncomfortable when attempting to enter many parts of society. The absence
of advanced educational opportunities for women and their alienation from
almost all fields of work gave them little option in life: either become a
house wife or a governess. Although today a tutor may be considered a
fairly high class and intellectual job, in the Victorian era a governess
was little more than a servant who was paid to share her scarce amount of
knowledge in limited fields to a child. With little respect, security, or
class one may certainly feel that an intelligent, passionate and
opinionated young woman such ...
