I decided to interview my dad, Tim Ely. He 's a certified life coach, financial advisor, and special education teacher. He 's been a certified life coach for about 2 years now and a special education teacher for about 5 weeks now. I chose to interview him because he exemplifies success in that he has impacted so many people that he has talked to. This very much fits in with my own definition of success in that success is people impacting others. The structure of this narrative will be, first, the questions I asked him and, second, the answers he gave me as well as how parts of the interview connect with certain chapters of the book and reflection and analysis before the conclusion.

If it does not take as long, then I can adjust my time scale and if takes longer some things will get moved to another time.

In the fourth paragraph, there are a series of rhetorical questions that represent the absurdity of the business culture. “What, I would ask my father, is better to argue with? How the success was achieved, what went into it, who suffered because of it?” These rhetorical questions leave the reader to ponder the true meaning of this paragraph. He strives to unmask the true nature of business, which is making money, not political statements.

There are many events prior to the 1900s that could be construed as turning points in American history. Columbus’s discovery of America in the 1490s and the American Revolution from 1770 to 1779, for instance, are quite important in this way. However, the Industrial Revolution was a far more significant turning point. The American Industrial Revolution began around 1790 when Samuel Slater was inspired by British industrial success and brought the idea to the United States.

Social location is important in knowledge production. One’s perspective is influenced by the location of his or her identity. Maps are useful for one to find one’s way and for navigation, but also to show others how to get somewhere.
