As a Navy Reservist in a top cargo handling unit, I found myself on an airplane more often than I could have imagined. In those 5 years, we traveled to Virginia and Texas numerous times throughout the year for our weekend meetings not to mention yearly trips to places like California, Guam and Hawaii. It doesn't matter if I was away for the weekend or for two and a half weeks, packing made me apprehensive. I knew what I must bring... the uniform and what I wanted to bring... fun clothes.
One of my biggest roles I have played during my high school career was being a DECA Vice President. This position I took on Vice President of Communications. Being V.P. of Communication was something so special to me because the previous DECA officers felt that I would be one to fulfill the duties of V.P. of communications. The impact this made of my life was very heavy because I learned a lot and gained a deeper love for DECA. I have learned how to communicate with others more, manage time wisely, and plan accordingly.
Through the use of recorded patterns Gladwell makes the belief of, more or less, seven errors on a plane will result in a crash. Gladwell embraces repetition to present the problem of pilots not communicating consequently making errors of flying a plane “and then another and another and another and another” using this rhetorical structure he presents the number of small errors that have happened that lead to a crash (Gladwell,184). He emphasizes the extent of problems on the plane to create an image of chaos on the plane. The use of anaphora created a feeling of anxiousness as the problem could’ve been prevented “one pilot knows something …one pilot does something wrong” with all the problems that have occurred and the pilot and co-pilot not

They help gather information for the future to help prevent matters like these. Risk-taking plays a big part when it comes to explaining the actions of what others had to do in a situation that could have happened later. But figuring out what happens sooner can help stop it
In “The Genocidal Killer in the Mirror”, Crispin Sartwell argues that the average citizen can be convinced to commit atrocious crimes under the right circumstances from the premise that the traits to become a genocidal killer are not that uncommon, using examples from recent history such as the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and the Rwandan Genocide. Sartwell clarifies that although most people delude themselves into thinking that they wouldn’t partake in genocide if they were placed in a similar situation as many have before, it would take a “moral hero” (Sartwell 118) to refuse the opportunity given the circumstances. On the other hand, in “Just Do What the Pilot Tells You”, author Theodore Dalrymple claims that people's response to authority in respect to their obedience is what leads the average man to kill countless others. While both authors address the fact that it doesn’t take a malicious person to engage in genocide, Sartwell focuses more on the qualities that people who commit genocide commonly share, Dalrymple seems more concerned on how people react to authority in

This is what differs a successful pilot from those like Klotz and Caviedes. As a result of the power distance Klotz was accustomed to, he had a fear of giving the pilot direction despite being equally as knowledgeable, and as a

The role of human factors in aviation accidents cannot be understated. It is crucial to note that instances such as the one discussed could be avoided by ensuring that the flights crew members are at peak performance, both physically and psychologically. Human factors, generally lead to lack of concentration and loss of focus on the core objective. Furthermore, it restricts the person from thinking about other variations or alternatives to the current situation. It is, therefore, advisable that airlines ensure they manage their personnel in a manner that does not predispose them to such
