- 2631: Fordism And Scientific Managem
- ... Many comparisons can be made between the two theories, such as the mechanisation, fragmentation and specialisation of work and that a lack of intellectual or skilled content will speed up the work at hand. Fordism's mechanisation of mass production further emphasised many of Taylor s popular beliefs about management being divorced from human affairs and emotions, using humans as instruments or machines to be manipulated by their leaders (Hersey p.84). Fordism fused and emphasised the scientific methods to get things done by Ford s successful mass-production processes. Contrasts also exist between the two theories. Fordism dehumanisied the worker whereas scientific management convinced the workers that their goals could be readily achieved along with their employers goals, therefore ...

- 2636: History Of Ozzy
- ...

- 2637: Life Death And Continuous Chan
- Life, Death, and Continuous Change (Three themes prevalent in Terry Wolverton’s Mystery Bruise) What is this that takes the immoral, the wicked, and the weak? What is this that takes the righteous and the strong. We have referred to it as our end, departure, extinction, impending doom, eternal rest, last sleep, and most certainly our final summons -at least, as far as known life is concerned-. The Bible has named it, “the latter end”. Shakespeare has called it “the journey’s end” and “a knell that summons thee to heaven or hell”. The dark side, as Pink Floyd relates to it, is a prevailing aspect of our lives. No matter how one refers to death, three things are certain: First, it is inevitable.

Because of death holding it’s shadow to the divine spark of life, it is obvious that whenever a person talks of death they invariably talk of life. True to this statement are Terry Wolverton’s poems in Mystery Bruise. ...
