Understanding networking is a fundamental part of configuring complex environments on the internet. This has implications when trying to communicate between servers efficiently, developing secure network policies, and keeping your nodes organized. Every location or device on a network must be addressable. This is simply a term that means that it can be reached by referencing its designation under a predefined system of addresses. In the normal TCP/IP model of network layering, this is handled on a few different layers, but usually, when we refer to an address on a network, we are talking about an IP address.
Discussion Assignment Unit 4 In Unit 4, we are introduced to the functionality offered by routers and switches Explain how MPLS VPN’s create tunnels Introduction: According to Marsic (2010), “Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is essentially a mechanism for creating and using special paths, known as “tunnels,” in IP networks”. MPLS is designed to speed up and shape the flows of network.
In her article, “Lean In: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?” Sheryl Sandberg discusses the issue of women’s equality and success in the workplace. She states that women are told they won’t become as successful as their male counterparts, and ironically that becomes true. Sandberg also discusses women and their struggles of balancing personal lives and work. Although the article may seem slightly monotonous, the author appears extremely credible and reliable because of her use of references to pop culture, use of personal stories, and exceptional use of facts.

“What’s the part of the worm in the middle that looks like a band aid called?” “Will bananas stay fresh if you put them in the freezer?” “Who won the world series in 2003?” The most common response to any of these questions would be “I don’t know, google it.” The internet is arguably the most prevalent source for information in the current generation and will continue to be for future generations as well.
Does growing up tethered take away from a child’s childhood? When growing up tethered there are many benefits, but there are also some drawbacks as well. I will say that I grew up with the best of both of both views. What I mean when I say that is that I was able to grow up without it and learned to be very independent. While growing up this way I was able to easily entertain myself.
One of the reasons why many women are stuck looking at the glass ceiling. Although, several women are graduating with degrees, many are confined in their positions at their place of employment. While have a corporate position would be the ultimate goal, many women are starting their own businesses. By starting their own companies, they are taking ownership of their skills, lives and careers. If a woman makes the decision to open a non- profit, they are still able to generate a salary from the organization.
By the time someone enters the first grade, the child will learn those who are a part of his or her own support network. Further on in life, those support networks will begin to link off into different categories, such as primary groups and secondary groups. When looking at the Merriam-Webster.com, a primary group is defined as a social group (as a family or circle of friends) characterized by a high degree of affective interpersonal contact. For this reason, a support network is in place, as members of the group can rely on one another to be able to solve such problems. For instance, when working on a presentation, members of the group decided to divide the work equally between them.
Arfken, Bellar, and Helms (2004) described the evidence of glass ceilings as “blocks” and restrictions that are reflected by various forms of gender equality breaches to females such as denial of promotion, due rewards, and equal opportunities as well as limited training, development, and promotional opportunities to TMTs. Similarly, scholars including Bryant (1985), Cox and Smolinski (1994), and Cotter et al. (2001) found that a glass ceiling stifled the career growth of women leaders irrespective of their skills, experience, and aspirational goals, thus, impeding their advancement to TMTs. The authors found evidence of restrictions that limited women’s entry into top jobs to analyze the impact of gender-based barriers to women’s careers. These authors observed that a glass ceiling functioned in a way that affected not only its victims, but also a firm's productivity.
According to Hall, discursive formation that accompanied colonialism was “the West/the Rest” (89). It emerged from asserting a new sense of identity to unify internal relations in Europe, such as Christianity, and it legitimated colonialism by imprinting the Western (European) “culture and customs on the new worlds” (Hall 197, 195). The new identities distinguished the West from the Rest while producing certain knowledge of the Rest: “an Earthly Paradise” “the simple, innocent life”, and “the lack of developed social organization and civil society”, and “people living in a pure state of Nature” (204, 209). In other words, the discourses through languages and images produced “meaningful knowledge” about the Others, and the Others is categorized
Gender Stratification in The Workplace Over the years, women have fought their way through the various barriers thrown at them by society, they are now more educated, matching male participation rates in the labour force and they are seen to create more opportunities for themselves in the workplace. Despite these achievements, gender stratification still exists in organizations and corporations in the 21st century; this paper seeks to analyze the numerous reasons why women remain underrepresented in leadership positions in the workplace and how this causes a trickle-down effect for other females in non-managerial positions. One of the major factors influencing the progress women experience in their career advancement stems from the deep cultural-infused gender stereotypes associated
"No matter what profession or role my child chooses she will more than likely, at some point, need to be able to speak or conduct herself confidently in front of others—whether it be on the PTA, as a stay-at-home mom, or in front of a Board of Directors of a large corporation." (Wendy McElroy). In life, people will need to learn how to communicate to others in both large and small groups. “Women that are in beauty pageants like Miss. America, contribute in many community services like homeless shelters and food drives.” (Horton, Becca).
Over the past 40 years defenders of women’s right have worked hard to assure growth of women's careers, trying to contest what is attribute as ‘the glass ceiling’ which is the invisible barriers that control woman from rising to top positions in corporate context. From the mid-90s European Government firms and private and public organizations have pursued a suit, bringing the recruitment of women at the upper levels of companies. The increasing prominence of leaders like Carly Fiorina, Hillary Clinton, and Condoleezza Rice accentuate the development in gender roles over the last half century. In the first paragraph I will discuss what do you need to be a successful leader and also about how women rises in organizational structures and practices,
In her widely watched 2010 TED talk “Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders” (currently with more than 1.5 million views) Sheryl Sandberg, currently Chief Operating Officer of Facebook (and the first woman to serve on Facebook's board) and formerly Vice President at Google, shares her experience of being one of the rare women in top global management positions and offers advice to women who would like to succeed in their corporate careers. In the 15-minute video, Sandberg asks how we can fix the problem of having too few women in top leadership positions in spite of many advances in women’s rights being made. She argues that the solution lies with women themselves, as individuals, and the messages they need to tell themselves and their daughters. This entails three steps: (1) ‘sit at the table’, meaning women should negotiate for themselves more assertively and stop underestimating their abilities; (2) ‘make your partner a real partner’ and establish shared/equal responsibilities between partners at home (i.e. with raising children and housework); and (3) ‘don’t ‘leave’ before you leave’, which means continuing to work at the best of your abilities (i.e. ‘leaning in’ instead of ‘leaning back’ when the possibility of having a child is entertained) until
