    False Stereotypes In Quinton Tarantino's Pulp Fiction

    Mia is discussed in a dialogue by Vincent Vega(John Travolta) and Jules(Samuel L. Jackson) before she is even seen on screen. Vincent casually mentions to Jules that he is taking the "boss's wife" out while Marcellus is out of town. Jules warns Vincent of a rumor he has recently heard about Marcellus throwing a man named Antwan off of a roof for giving Mia a foot massage. This scene in the movie gives the viewer the sense that Marcellus is not only protective of his wife, but also dangerously protective. When we meet Mia, it is obvious that she is a very powerful character. Where she derives that power is from her husband, Marcellus. For example, when Vincent refuses to dance with her at Jackrabbit Slims, she subtly threatens him. "I do believe Marcellus, my husband, your boss, told you to take me out and do whatever I wanted. Well now, I want to dance." This quote proves that Mia Wallace does not have any power of her own, but derives power from her husband. This portrays women to be powerless without the attachment of…

    Using the Balanced Scorecard at the United States Postal Service

    In response to the key issues for discussion question one; let’s first start out by defining what the USPS strategic goal areas of interest are. The “Voice of the Employee (VOE)” was one of the first strategic areas of focus deemed most important due to the past workplace violence at the post office. The VOE placed the emphasis on providing safety and security in the workplace and improving employee relations. Our stated in our text, “Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that when service worker satisfaction is high, customer satisfaction is high, and that when job satisfaction is low, customer satisfaction is low.” (Evans & Lindsay, 2011) Utilizing the balanced scorecard approach, the USPS gauged the VOE by measuring safety based on the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Employee satisfaction was measured by employee surveys which were conducted annually but could be traced on a monthly basis by each unit. The USPS realized that it must improve employee satisfaction in order to improve its internal processes. This was accomplished by providing training and growing their employees professionally. The second element of the balanced score card was the “Voice of the Business (VOB)” which focused on the “Breakthrough Productivity Initiative”. The VOB was separated into two areas which were represented by a measurement in productivity and another in revenue generation. These areas were good indicators of whether internal processes were improving which would have been a direct result of improved employee satisfaction. Lastly, the “Voice of the Customer (VOC)” was considered. The VOC focused on providing timely and reliable delivery. In order to track this strategy a set of delivery service measurements systems were created. The VOC is a term used to describe the in-depth process of capturing a customer 's expectations, preferences and aversions. The USPS strategy was alignment of the three strategies which would lead to…

    Act of Revenge or No?

    “ON THAT GLORIUS NOONDAY when Dulce Rosa Orellano was crowned with jasmines of Carnival Queen, the mothers of the other candidates murmured that it was unfair for her to win just because she was the only daughter of the most powerful man in the entire province, Senator Anselmo Orellano” (Charters, 2011, p.42). This first paragraph of the passage as well as the title of the story leads the reader to prepare for some sort of battle. The story goes on to discuss how her looks were not the cutest but because she was talented in playing the piano and had the ability to dance well it compensated for her attractiveness. The story went on to discuss how many men from other villages came out to meet her at the dance (this is where she was crowned). Once they returned to their village make believe stories of her beauty were discussed such like the game of telephone where each time it was transferred to another they added on to the tale. With all of the envy and commotion will something happen to her father and with her being the only child and a female instead of a male will she be capable of retaliating against the wrong done to her family or no?…
