Both of these fields fit that of the business person model, however it does also fit that of an entrepreneur. As I further self-evaluate what I want with my life I most fit under the category of a business person. I want to have the characteristics that are found in both the Entrpreneur and Business person models. If I could blend these two models I would want to work in a business that is already running. I still want to have time for family and personal life while still being able to live within my means and being financially free. <o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">An area for improvement would be for me to allow others to help me and for me to ask for help. I have a problem in asking for help. I have a feeling that in being a business person rather than an entrepreneur I would be more inclined to ask for help before I find myself into much of a whole.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">As far as who lives the happiest life, that of an entrpreneur or that of a business person, I think it is whoever is happiest with what direction there life has taken them. To each person the definition of happiness is different. Life is what you make it, if you are not happy with it change it.<o:p></o:p></div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15028474003009805800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587183645167055173.post-36098091129275351262011-12-13T20:45:00.001-08:002011-12-13T20:45:17.666-08:00Criteria For Evaluation<span id="internal-source-marker_0.2719325698583703" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

Many say that it is not the sale of the pill that is the problem; it’s the education that people are receiving. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Argument for No- It is argued that no it is not ethical because every person is put on this earth for a reason. Who knows maybe you just killed the human being that would have discovered the cure for a certain disease(s). They also say that even if you didn’t intend on that happening you could also do embryonic stem cell research instead. Some argue that with the sale of this pill, it is giving younger people the idea that having sex before they are ready is ok because they will have the pill.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

I understand that everyone is entitled to make decisions for themselves about what direction they want to take their life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would say the sale of the pill would be ok for reasons such as cases of rape. I otherwise believe that everyone is put on this earth for a reason and so you should allow that life to live. Your parents kept you, they decided that you were important to them. If you personally don’t want to keep the life your responsible for creating then there are adoption agencies and programs where you can hand your child over to authorities after the first 72 hours of life to give them a better life then what you can provide for them at this point in time. </span><br />

Otherwise I think that it is a conflict of interest and that they should not be accepted. Many may not agree with this stance, but it is my personal morals and beliefs. You do not mix business with pleasure. Many things can go wrong when this happens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15028474003009805800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587183645167055173.post-57315919907170037592011-11-01T08:05:00.000-07:002011-11-01T08:05:44.393-07:00Blog Post 7: General Ethics<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Post an ethical code/statement for your career field of interest that has been developed by a professional organization in your field. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

These differences can vary from race to views on different issues. No two individuals are completely identical down to the core. Diversity will help in my career because not everyone will have the same viewpoints within the medical community. My hopes are to work as a pharmacist or work in pharmaceutical and medical sales. These fields can be controversial for many reasons. One major issue within the medical field is on stem cell research and if we should be tampering with the natural order of things.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My group, like alot of the others added the hisoty of the penny. This made it seem as though you, and kind of did, hear the same presentation over and over again. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The following questions were presented to the class and this is what my group had came up with:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">1) What would a penny weigh picked up from the sidewalk? A penny minted today would weigh 2.50g fresh from the mint. So you would have to adjust that value since it has been exposed to the world.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">2) What would a 1908 penny weigh? A penny fresh from the mint in 1908 weighed 3.11g, however you would have to adjust that value since it has been exposed to the world for some time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">3) What would a 1793 penny weigh? A penny fresh from the mint in 1793 weighed 13.48g, however you would have to adjust that value since it has been exposed to the world the longest out of the three pennies that are being examined.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">One thing that has been expressed of how we can make our presentations better in the future would be to add in more scientific data.</span>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15028474003009805800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587183645167055173.post-1864256617468463102011-09-19T07:39:00.000-07:002011-09-25T13:17:39.711-07:00Criteria for CreditabilityWhen looking to see if something is creditable or not you need to look for a few things:<br />
<br />
How reliable are the sources stated in the document, if there are any sources listed.<br />
If there is any data or reproducable experiment to go along with your argument.<br />
Does the document have a clear direction that they are trying to get the reader to see, if so how effectively are they able to get the reader to see there point of view without straying to far from the outline that they have set up for themselves.<br />
<br />
According to our in class discussion, we will be using the following criteria to evaluate the CO2 Science Paper posted on D2L and answer the following question, "Is the paper legitimate now?" :<br />
<br />
1) Reference/ Sources<br />
-Credibile, Publisher<br />
<br />
2) Science Method Valid<br />
-Accuracy, Repeatability, Data Analysis, Open Perspecive, Non-bias ApproachAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15028474003009805800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587183645167055173.post-37475686405073118692011-09-15T20:15:00.000-07:002011-09-17T13:04:39.001-07:00PDPIn class we talked about Personal Development Plan, also known as a PDP, should include the following items: A mission, goals, values, and stragies of how to accomplish these things. <br />
<br />
<br />
I think that a PDP for this class would be to present the class with scenrios that we will find in the field and talk about what/how we would handle the situation. I also think we need to look ahead to the future to see what things we could potentially encounter if we do not take the time now to address the issues.<br />
We should also take advantage of professional resouces that are available to us, get to know professors that relate to our field of study and get involved with organizations and clubs that will help to advance our future opportunities.Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15028474003009805800noreply@blogger.com0
