  • Interesting ideas

    Most retail jobs are like this all the time. Walmart, Home Depot, the average Grocery store. Welcome to the new economy, my friend.

  • Good Essay With some thoughtful points on Tom Stoppard's play

    I would have tied the nature of Ragad back to Hamlet a bit more strongly. Overall nice contribution.

  • So what is management and how does it relate to leadership?

    Nicely written, but not overly insightful.

  • Plagarism cheats the cheater

    Folks -Copying other people's work and passing it off as your own doesn't hurt me, but it hurts the person who indulges in this practice (because they are missing a learning opportunity) and it hurts the person whoes work it really is (unless they are paid for the work). My work is regularly stolen and passed of as other people's work. It is very flattering, but it is also stealing.

  • Was this from an exam?

    This is not a fully fleshed out analysis. Migt be good for a final exam answer. Not sure how else you would use it.

  • It is ALL about the bottom line folks

    Outsourcing has one main benefit for most companies. That is the gerbils in India or China work for a fraction of what they have to pay people in the US. Those gerbils BTW are living like princes back in India, while we are working for below povery level wages at Walgrens. It is ALL about arbitrage. Nothing more and nothing less.

  • So sad....

    I am just overwelmed with sadness reading this. I had a pet cat that died and a pet goldfish, all those poor hermit crabs. I knew that I should have feed them occasionally. Same with the goldfish. The cat fended for herself.It just makes you want to jump off a cliff.

  • Misses Wiesel's entire point

    Night is a horrific book and it decribes some truely horrible events. But part of the point of the book was that the people did rise above their circumstances as best they could and did help their fellow prisoners as long as they could.

  • Whaat is the purpose of this essay?

    This is not the story of the birth of Christianity. This is a paraphrase of the Gospels. What happened to all the information about the development of the church?

  • Compensation is NOT the highest motivating factor

    What people say in a survey is not always what they actually do. The highest motivator at work is consistantly how much people like their bosses and co-workers.

  • Is this an Essay?

    This sort of jumps around quite a bit. It does have some facts correct but overall it seems more like answers to a series of questions than something coherent.

  • One source is NOT enough

    This a generally a good essay, but opening with a dictionary definition is always weak. Also heavily paraphrasing your one source weakens your argument significantly.

  • Where is the rest of the essay?

    OK. This is a good start, but you need more content. You could use this to get a dragging assignment started. Not a bad way to use it.

  • Do you secretly work for the Coca Cola Company

    OK, but why are we paying a dollar a can for water, corn syrup and a bit of flavoring? Coke costs pennies to produce. The triumph of marketing over rational thought. Sounds like good business to me. This essay would have been helped with a bit more analysis of the marketing of brand images in the flavored beverage industry.

  • Good points but watch the writing mechanics

    Overall good essay for High School, but could someone give the writer a lesson in writing mechanics! People are "losing jobs", not "loosing jobs". "using computers, in this competing world." And that world would be Mars, maybe?

  • Learn something about other religions before comparing them

    Islam is not a brother to Christianity, rather a distant cousin. The essay is COMPLETELY wrong about the role of Judaism as an influence in both Islam and Christianity. Islam does not have any belief of the divinity of Jesus -- a major tenet of Christianity. In fact he is seen as one of an endless series of divinely inspired prophets, like Abraham, Moses,and Mohammad.

  • Misses the point of the book completely

    "The Sun also rises" is a semi-autobiographical book about the post WWI reaction of a group of expatriot Americans against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War and the rise of Nazism in Germany. Hemingway is attempting to come to terms with his own political and moral confusion through the characters and the symbolism of the Bullfights.

  • Hitler is still to blame for WW2

    As far as I can tell,this essay has a serious case of circular reasoning. Hitler still was responsible for the start of WW2. Maybe Neville Chamberlain's actions delayed the war by a few months (and gave Hitler time to consolidate his power base in the process), but nobody ever asked the Austrians or the German speaking Czechs if they were interested in becoming part of the German Empire.Yes, the treaty of Versielles was unfair and punitive, but Hitler's actions were not attempts to reneigotiate the treaty, but active acts of aggression to test the willingness of the other European powers to back down.

  • Accuracy in news photos

    The author forgot a significant detail about this picture. In the original the girl's genitals were exposed. Most media outlets that published this dramatic and tragic picture obscured that detail. The picture was already not a depiction of "reality" as we would understand it. Poorly organized and sloppy sentence structure.
