The examples and evidence on a lecture's content are important when writing an essay in order. Anna Quindlen evidence on Driving to the Funeral does not convey a satisfactory and concrete solution -raise the driving age among teenagers- because does not present consistent statistics or analysis, most of its evidence are based on collective anecdotes, and the evidence makes biases on the crashes related to young driving and the evidence makes biases on the crashes related to young driving and does not have in consideration other crash-related circumstances. Despite the fact that there have been a numerous amount of car accidents that prove minors are at greater risk of crashing and that it is a good suggestion to raise the driving age, Quindlen…
We would recall the refusal of Britannica to partner with Microsoft on a multimedia CD-ROM version of the encyclopedia, owing to its “traditional way of selling. They regarded an IT initiative that would have reduced the cost of printing encyclopaedias as one that would ‘both cannibalize revenue and reduce the company’s strong profit margins’. We recollect how those series of event led to the birth of Encarta. The Encarta team decided to distinguish the product from the traditional encyclopedias currently on the market. How? It aimed to stress…
Throughout time people have believed that others are motivated by just basic needs and rewards/punishments. However, in the book Drive by Daniel H. Pink, Pink claims that people are not just motivated by basic needs and rewards/punishments. They are also motivated intrinsically. Pink quotes scientist Bob Wolf, “Wolf uncovered a range of motives, but they found that enjoyment-based intrinsic motivation, namely how creative a person feels when working on the project, is the strongest and most pervasive driver” (Pink 21). In this quote Pink proves his point by citing a scientist that has states that intrinsic motivation is the not only a motivation, but the strongest motivation. People are motivated by internal rewards, what is enjoying to them. Pink also claims…

Research has explained the often ambiguous term ‘motivation’ by identifying two key types of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic.…
Wikipedia's mission was to share the entire world’s information with everyone everywhere, anytime. A quotation of Jimmy Wales (the founder of Wikipedia) taken from his personal website said, "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s what we’re doing" (2013). Because anyone can edit information on Wikipedia, many different fields of knowledge can become part of the encyclopedia; it is very useful for getting a quick review of information. "Wikipedia isn't a commercial website. It's a community creation" (Wales, 2009). I personally us Wikipedia as a…

There are a few important points that are emphasized in Pink’s Drive, one of the most important being that the operating system our society runs on today needs a serious upgrade. His metaphorical uses of Motivation 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 put it into perfect perspective for exponentially growing, technologically centered recent generations. Just like a well built computer, our society runs on key smaller parts working in sync to make one big functioning machine. However, when those small parts fail to work together, the whole system will malfunction.…
Jimmy Wales set his life goal as creating a free-online encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to everyone on the planet in their own languages,that was original model of Wikipedia.…
In Mark Wilson’s article “Professors Should Embrace Wikipedia”, Wilson argues that despite the legitimacy of Wikipedia, educators should engage and take part in helping shape the direction of Wikipedia. In a test published in the journal “Nature”, articles in Wikipedia are said to be as revered as those in the “Encyclopedia Britannica.” Since the perceived lack of academic authority, Wilson suggests that those with research specialties should enroll as editors of Wikipedia to add, control, and learn from the information being provided. Wilson describes his own interaction with Wikipedia and how he, his students, and other colleagues have benefitted from the use of it. From becoming a Wikipedia editor and a collaborator with other colleagues, Wilson has “in turn taught some people how to properly reference ideas and information.” Wilson expresses his ideas to involve scholars with Wikipedia to make it more useful to students and the public. Wilson argues that Wikipedia is a source that although warned from, students will go to anyway to start projects, look up terms, and go for general information. If Wikipedia is “the largest coherent store of information and ideas” as stated by Wilson, then “teacher and scholars should have been on this train years ago for the benefit of our students and professions.”…
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation may increase Shannon’s motivation because it motivates her to see others see her doing a good job and this behavior can be defined as intrinsic motivation because of the praise she gets from others. Her behavior is also motivated by the goal of being employee of the year, which comes with rewards and this can be defined as extrinsic motivation.…
“Motivation is either intrinsic (from within), meaning the student wants to learn for their own fulfilment, or extrinsic (from without), meaning there may be an external factor motivating the student, e.g. promotion at work” (Gravells, A. p40).…
Wikipedia can be beneficial to the academic student as well as the general researching public. Wikipedia covers an immense variety of topics that is continually maintained and updated, relevant, and non-biased in its presentation of information. Wikipedia possess all the qualities a reliable source would have. Wikipedia’s premise is promoting involvement of the general public for inputting information and continually adding into a comprehensive knowledge base.…
Wikipedia is a collaborative resource, which aims to be a compendium of all human knowledge. In a serious examination of Wikipedia as a credible and valid source of information we need to place our argument within a definable framework. As I will show information has many uses, for the purposes of this paper I will examine the use of Wikipedia for scholarly research, the kind, which I will be utilizing throughout the rest of my MBA program. I will be evaluating Wikipedia based on the parameters set forth by Brenda Spatt. The credentials, Impartiality, style/tone, and currency of Wikipedia will all be examined in this paper (Spatt 2011).…
