<div class="MsoNormal">I think the best path for me would be a mixture of both a businessman and entrepreneur. But if I had to choose just one it would be Entrepreneur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some traits or strengths that I see aligning with my conclusion of entrepreneur would be valuable time with my family and providing for me and my family as well as the idea to never stop learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are just some examples of the strengths I see that would make me an entrepreneur instead of a businessman. Some weaknesses though are the fact that to have a career I need to make money to go to college and graduate school. By making money I would have to have one of those jobs that take away from the family time and the need to learn since I would not have enough hours in the day to do all of that. I think that once I finish school and find that career I would be in better position to have that family time and commitment to never stop learning. I wouldn’t say that entrepreneurship is just about starting a business. I would say that it is partly that and partly about making your own decisions in both a personal and professional capacity. From the traits it looks like a businessman tries to have a family but is more about the job whereas an entrepreneur has more emphasis on the family instead of the business. I think that you can be an entrepreneur on your own terms because in the end it only matters what you think and not what someone else thinks. In the future, I would think that the more successful one or the happier one would be the one who thinks that they themselves are happy by their terms not someone else’s. But if I had to choose, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that the entrepreneur would be the more successive one and be the happier one. The businessman is just someone who is trying to be successful in their career since that is first priority to them; but the entrepreneur’s first priority is his family and then his business. Both are equally important to him but his family would be the number one. </div>Caitlin Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837685173086848073noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271029718559798480.post-49288192073199562732011-11-23T11:10:00.000-08:002011-11-23T11:10:01.705-08:00Implementing a Lean Process I noticed that our desk drawers had folders, papers and just random things in it that we hadn't used in a while or we just didn't need anymore; so I threw all that away to give room for the papers and folders we are using now so that the desk top would stay clean. So far this lean process seems to be working now that my family knows where to put certain papers and folders and they have a specific spot instead of just everywhere. This is waste that may not be huge but is still waste that was necessary for a lean process to occur.Caitlin Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837685173086848073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271029718559798480.post-32180999387048078792011-11-22T17:44:00.000-08:002011-11-22T17:44:14.633-08:00Criteria for Evaluation<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="internal-source-marker_0.3710153881794179" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Review criteria</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">So as you can see in the before picture my family’s community computer desk was not very organized and it was very messy. As part of the 5s system I went and took each step one at a time and bit the best I could. So I moved all the unnecessary things off of the desk straight off and put them in a pile for now (step 1). I then made a place for anything and everything. I made it so that it was easy access to the key board and the printer, made sure the mouse had room to move, moved all the papers to folders inside the drawers and on the shelf right next to it (step 2). After finding places for everything I proceeded to clean the counter, the keyboard, the printer screen and the computer screen inside and out (step 3). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I was done I asked my family that they clean up their messes when done with the computer. (step 4). A couple days later I went to see if my family was practicing what I had asked and sure enough they were (step5) Steps 6-8 are pretty self explanatory in terms of safety, security and satisfaction. I am happy with the results of this system. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The objectives of this program:<br />
<ol><li>Fully comply with applicable regulatory requirements,</li>
<li>Seek to achieve and maintain plant product integrity, and</li>

But it being a new system it is sure unsure of what is needed in the realm of GM foods.Caitlin Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837685173086848073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271029718559798480.post-87753332685511048472011-11-09T11:33:00.000-08:002011-11-09T13:45:39.740-08:00Specific Ethical questionMy field of interest is in Biotechnology and how we can develop new ways to find answers to medical questions, alternative energy situations, etc. A question that has come up in this field is whether or not we should be genetically modifying foods (GM foods).<br />
<br />
Supporters of GM food say that the food can potentially produce higher crop yields, which could help by feeding more people in developing countries. Better financial gain in the long run, improved food quality. These foods can be designed to stay fresher longer and with stand diseases better than normal foods which would extend the shelf life of the food. They can be engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions which will again produce higher crop yields in those poor season with bad weather. For example if it was an extremely dry summer certain fruits would not be able to survive well and not produce a lot causing a shortage. With GM foods they would not need the weather to cooperate to produce enough to not cause that shortage. These foods could also be designed to have better nutrition content. They can be designed to give more of the vitamins and nutrients we take from them. Which would help in our attempts to stay healthy.<br />
<br />
People against GM foods also have reason to support not modifying our foods. One reason is that the GM foods has the ability of a food to trigger an allergy in humans. Some of the genes used in GM technology might be taken from a food that causes allergies in some people. Inserting that gene into another organism could cause the host organism to express that allergen as a trait. Alternately, a new allergen could be produced when genes are mixed across different species.Another reason is the food could cause organisms in the ecosystem could be harmed, which would lead to a lower level of biodiversity. By removing one pest that harms the crop, you could be removing a food source for an animal and so on. Also, GM crops could prove toxic to an organism in the environment the food is grown and potentially lowering the count of the organism and possible leading to extinction of that organism. There is also fear that GM foods will cause the formation of new diseases since some are modified using bacteria and viruses.<br />
<br />
I personally don't see why we aren't doing this to a lot more foods. I feel that the pros far outweigh the cons. Yes there is a potential to create a new allergy, but doesn't that already happen with the formation of new drugs? But if the possibility to stop hunger is real then I think that would be better than trying to prevent things that may or may not happen. If It was a sure thing that these foods caused new allergies and caused new disease formation then I am sure I feelings would change, but there is still uncertainty to whether or not these issues will occur.<br />

I understand why the Pharmaceutical Reps potentially bribe doctors into buying/promoting the drug they are selling, but I think that there is a fine line that should not be crossed in this situation. If the Rep is just offering them once that is okay, but if they keep coming with it then I would say that is not ethical. Pushing someone into a situation they don't want or they shouldn't have to deal with is unethical in my opinion. I also don't think that they should bribe the doctors. If they give enough information on the drug to the doctors then they wouldn't need to be bribed into buying or promoting, etc., and their product would have a better chance at making it into the open market.Caitlin Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837685173086848073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271029718559798480.post-4094709579933682852011-10-22T15:36:00.000-07:002011-10-22T15:36:54.253-07:00General Ethics<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

2.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the criteria established. Where these good criteria, or should there have been different criteria established?</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I think that the criteria had one good strength and good weakness. The strength would be that because of the broadness of the criteria it allowed us to challenge ourselves and make this project worth it. By being broad the criteria forced us to think about what exactly they meant and what should be allowed to fall into that category. A weakness though would be that same thing, the criteria being broad. I know it is the same thing but that same thing that is a strength is also a weakness, but for a different reason. I think it is a weakness because the criteria were just broad enough to leave doubt. If you can believe what you are suppose to being supportive of the doubt leaves, but the criteria left some doubt amongst some.</span><br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">3. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the presentations as a whole.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The presentations I think were stronger than previous ones. Now that we have a clearer idea of what exactly presentation should be in professional settings and in this class; we also we more confident that we knew what we needed to do and how we should do it. . I think something that didn’t go so well was the fact to the groups weren’t talking to others like them; the no groups weren’t talking to the other no groups and vice versa for the yes groups.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">4.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Reflect on the group management of your group. What went well, what did not?</span></b></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The management of the groups seemed to work well; everyone listened to each other’s ideas and tried to make them work for their projects. There was just enough management that it wasn’t overpowering but that said I think someone should have taken control and said okay this person do that and this one do that. I think that this way would have made it easier to find information and make sure everything got addressed. This would also have to be regulated though to make sure the authority wasn’t going to someone’s head and to make sure people were still having some fun to the project.</span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">5. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Reflect on the personal “ethic” you felt in your group. Did you believe in your position? Where you arguing against your beliefs?</span></b></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">My group’s ethic was something that needed to be worked on. We all read it and thought no, this paper is one that is not, but we knew what we needed to do. We tried to be objective but our thoughts of doubt kept creeping in. I tried to have an open mind to the project but the more in depth we went the more I started to feel that this paper was not legitimate, after awhile though I did come around and say yes based on our criteria the paper was legitimate. So in the beginning I was arguing against my beliefs but after seeing some of the evidence my group member had and comparing them to the criteria I changed my belief and compromised.</span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">6. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Did the class make the correct decision when considering the broader impacts of the global warming/climate change debate? Why?</span></b></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I think that when it came to the vote, people really were not actually thinking about their opinion, just their grade. Some were, don’t get me wrong, but overall I think it came down to getting the points. Some questions people had for groups were ignored, others were shifted to make the presenters look good even though it was a good question that potentially could have shut them down and made them not look good. But most people probably voted the way they did for the grade rather than from data presented.</span><br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">7. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Explain the statement, “What we do in the US, soon will not matter” Provide evidence to justify this statement.</span></b></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So this statement does have justification to it since as of 2007 China passed the United States in the biggest country to create pollution. (<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2007/jun/19/china.usnews">http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2007/jun/19/china.usnews</a>) Plus just from past classes I have learned that the majority of the Earth’s pollution comes from the developing nations that are trying to make a name for themselves. All of the industry that they need is making more pollution that the US. So just based off of this one link the statement is true that what we do in the US will not matter.</span><br />

Once a vast reef is no withering away into nothing because of the pesticides and industry waste humans have created and wasted. Here is a link to give more information: <a href="http://sitemaker.umich.edu/gc2sec7labgroup3/pollution">http://sitemaker.umich.edu/gc2sec7labgroup3/pollution</a>. And it is always been said though that what you do will always have a result; so essentially cause and effect. We have as societies have always just jumped right into things without thinking. This can be good, but no one person really thinks about what effect they would have on something if they did that activity. So yes what we do as individuals matters.</span></div></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>Caitlin Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837685173086848073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271029718559798480.post-64786677676579108482011-09-20T14:05:00.000-07:002011-09-20T14:05:06.930-07:00Powerpoint ReflectionsOur powerpoints were good if we were in a different class than a science one. I think for this class we should have had a bit more science content instead of brief slides like we all had. They were still nice presentations just should have been more audience friendly. My own presentation was good for the time allowed to prepare. I think we answered the questions that we were presented with and tried having fun with it. I think that a strength we as a group had was that we knew what we were to talk about without having to many "um's" "ah's" and awkward silences. We also like I said before answered the questions given to us. Unfortunately we did not have a lot of statistical evidence or experiments in our presentation; which would be a weakness that we had, but still was appropriate to a degree. Now that we know what our audience expects from us , our next presentations should be a better fit and more fluid than this one.Caitlin Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837685173086848073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271029718559798480.post-37987402004847455482011-09-18T10:39:00.000-07:002011-09-21T08:45:08.109-07:00CriteriaSome criteria I think that would be the best for this class to utilize would be something like: are the sources/references credible? Are the author's methods valid and somewhat widely accepted, does it have a non-bias approach to the issue, is it repeatable, etc.? These may not be the only things but are the major ones I think we should really adhere to when asking is the paper legitimate.Caitlin Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837685173086848073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271029718559798480.post-49955337612451273492011-09-10T13:01:00.000-07:002011-09-10T13:01:49.477-07:00A PDP<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">This is the "plan" or idea that will help</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">one align their life with their mission, values and goals that they have. This plan should show you and others what you think your career goals are at certain time intervals</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">. This could be any time frame but essentially you want to state where you think you will be in 5 years, 10 years, for example. What should also go in it is what skills you think will be necessary for you to achieve these goals and how you will gain these skills. A PDP for this class I think would consist of the same things only maybe thinking about what we want for ourselves. Since we are still in school and potentially unaware of exactly what we know. I know that is is a tool that will help us realize this but hopefully it will make that path clearer so that we <b>will</b> achieve these goals</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and succeed at life.</span>Caitlin Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837685173086848073noreply@blogger.com0
