U.S. Declaration of Independence in Spanish
The following is a Spanish translation of the U.S. Declaration of Independence; it is believed to be in the public domain. Links are provided for the Spanish student to review some of the words and grammatical concepts used in this document. Comparisons can also be made with the original text of the Declaration. Cuando en el curso de los acontecimientos humanos se hace necesario para un pueblo disolver los và nculos polà ticos que lo han ligado a otro y tomar entre las naciones de la tierra el puesto separado e igual a que las leyes de la naturaleza y el Dios de esa naturaleza le dan derecho, un justo respeto al juicio de la humanidad exige que declare las causas que lo impulsan a la separacià ³n. Sostenemos que estas verdades son evidentes en sà mismas: que todos los hombres son creados iguales; que son dotados por su Creador de ciertos derechos inalienables; que entre à ©stos està ¡n la vida, la libertad y la bà ºsqueda de la felicidad; que para garantizar estos derechos se instituyen entre los hombres los gobiernos, que derivan sus poderes legà timos del consentimiento de los gobernados; que cuando quiera que una forma de gobierno se haga destructora de estos principios, el pueblo tiene el derecho a reformarla o abolirla e instituir un nuevo gobierno que se funde en dichos principios, y a organizar sus poderes en la forma que a su juicio ofrecerà ¡ las mayores probabilidades de alcanzar su seguridad y felicidad. La prudencia, claro està ¡, aconsejarà ¡ que no se cambie por motivos leves y transitorios gobiernos de antiguo establecidos; y, en efecto, toda la experiencia ha demostrado que la humanidad està ¡ mà ¡s dispuesta a padecer, mientras los males sean tole rables, que a hacerse justicia aboliendo las formas a que està ¡ acostumbrada. Pero cuando una larga serie de abusos y usurpaciones, dirigida invariablemente al mismo objetivo, demuestra el designio de someter al pueblo a un despotismo absoluto, es su derecho, es su deber, derrocar ese gobierno y establecer nuevos resguardos para su futura seguridad. Tal ha sido el paciente sufrimiento de estas colonias; tal es ahora la necesidad que las obliga a reformar su anterior sistema de gobierno La historia del actual Rey de la Gran Bretaà ±a es una historia de repetidos agravios y usurpaciones, encaminados todos directamente hacia el establecimiento de una tiranà a absoluta sobre estos estados. Para probar esto, sometemos los hechos al juicio de un mundo imparcial. El Rey se ha negado a aprobar las leyes mà ¡s favorables y necesarias para el bienestar pà ºblico. Ha prohibido a sus gobernadores sancionar leyes de importancia inmediata y apremiante, a menos que su ejecucià ³n se suspenda hasta obtener su asentimiento; y una vez suspendidas se ha negado por completo a prestarles atencià ³n. Se ha rehusado a aprobar otras leyes convenientes a grandes comarcas pobladas, a menos que esos pueblos renuncien al derecho de ser representados en la Legislatura; derecho que es inestimable para el pueblo y terrible sà , para los tiranos. Ha convocado a los cuerpos legislativos en sitios desusados, incà ³modos y distantes del asiento de sus documentos pà ºblicos, con la sola idea de fatigarlos para cumplir con sus medidas. En repetidas ocasiones ha disuelto las Cà ¡maras de Representantes, por oponerse con firmeza viril a sus intromisiones en los derechos del pueblo. Durante mucho tiempo, y despuà ©s de esas disoluciones, se ha negado a permitir la eleccià ³n de otras Cà ¡maras; por lo cual, los poderes legislativos, cuyo aniquilamiento es imposible, han retornado al pueblo, sin limitacià ³n para su ejercicio; permaneciendo el Estado, mientras tanto, expuesto a todos los peligros de una invasià ³n exterior y a convulsiones internas. Ha tratado de impedir que se pueblen estos Estados, dificultando, con ese propà ³sito, las Leyes de Naturalizacià ³n de Extranjeros; rehusando aprobar otras para fomentar su inmigracià ³n y elevando las condiciones para las Nuevas Adquisiciones de Tierras. Ha entorpecido la administracià ³n de justicia al no aprobar las leyes que establecen los poderes judiciales. Ha hecho que los jueces dependan solamente de su voluntad, para poder desempeà ±ar sus cargos y en cuanto a la cantidad y pago de sus emolumentos. Ha fundado una gran diversidad de oficinas nuevas, enviando a un enjambre de funcionarios que acosan a nuestro pueblo y menguan su sustento. En tiempos de paz, ha mantenido entre nosotros ejà ©rcitos permanentes, sin el consentimiento de nuestras legislaturas. Ha influido para que la autoridad militar sea independiente de la civil y superior a ella. Se ha asociado con otros para someternos a una jurisdiccià ³n extraà ±a a nuestra constitucià ³n y no reconocida por nuestras leyes; aprobando sus actos de pretendida legislacià ³n: Para acuartelar, entre nosotros, grandes cuerpos de tropas armadas. Para protegerlos, por medio de un juicio ficticio, del castigo por los asesinatos que pudiesen cometer entre los habitantes de estos Estados. Para suspender nuestro comercio con todas las partes del mundo. Para imponernos impuestos sin nuestro consentimiento. Para privarnos, en muchos casos, de los beneficios de un juicio por jurado. Para transportarnos mà ¡s allà ¡ de los mares, con el fin de ser juzgados por supuestos agravios. Para abolir en una provincia vecina el libre sistema de las leyes inglesas, estableciendo en ella un gobierno arbitrario y extendiendo sus là mites, con el objeto de dar un ejemplo y disponer de un instrumento adecuado para introducir el mismo gobierno absoluto en estas Colonias. Para suprimir nuestras Cartas Constitutivas, abolir nuestras leyes mà ¡s valiosas y alterar en su esencia las formas de nuestros gobiernos. Para suspender nuestras propias legislaturas y declararse investido con facultades para legislarnos en todos los casos, cualesquiera que à ©stos sean. Ha abdicado de su gobierno en estos territorios al declarar que estamos fuera de su proteccià ³n y al emprender una guerra contra nosotros. Ha saqueado nuestros mares, asolado nuestras costas, incendiado nuestras ciudades y destruido la vida de nuestro pueblo. Al presente, està ¡ transportando grandes ejà ©rcitos de extranjeros mercenarios para completar la obra de muerte, desolacià ³n y tiranà a, ya iniciada en circunstancias de crueldad y perfidia que apenas si encuentran paralelo en las à ©pocas mà ¡s bà ¡rbaras, y por completo indignas del Jefe de una Nacià ³n civilizada. Ha obligado a nuestros conciudadanos, aprehendidos en alta mar, a que tomen armas contra su paà s, convirtià ©ndolos asà en los verdugos de sus amigos y hermanos, o a morir bajo sus manos. Ha provocado insurrecciones intestinas entre nosotros y se ha esforzado por lanzar sobre los habitantes de nuestras fronteras a los inmisericordes indios salvajes, cuya conocida disposicià ³n para la guerra se distingue por la destruccià ³n de vidas, sin considerar edades, sexos ni condiciones. En cada etapa de estas opresiones, hemos pedido justicia en los tà ©rminos mà ¡s humildes: a nuestras repetidas peticiones se ha contestado solamente con repetidos agravios. Un Prà ncipe, cuyo caracter està ¡ asà seà ±alado con cada uno de los actos que pueden definir a un tirano, no es digno de ser el gobernante de un pueblo libre. Tampoco hemos dejado de dirigirnos a nuestros hermanos brità ¡nicos. Los hemos prevenido de tiempo en tiempo de las tentativas de su poder legislativo para englobarnos en una jurisdiccià ³n injustificable. Les hemos recordado las circunstancias de nuestra emigracià ³n y radicacià ³n aquà . Hemos apelado a su innato sentido de justicia y magnanimidad, y los hemos conjurado, por los và nculos de nuestro parentesco, a repudiar esas usurpaciones, las cuales interrumpirà an inevitablemente nuestras relaciones y correspondencia. Tambià ©n ellos han sido sordos a la voz de la justicia y de la consanguinidad. Debemos, pues, convenir en la necesidad, que establece nuestra separacià ³n y considerarlos, como consideramos a las demà ¡s colectividades humanas: enemigos en la guerra, en la paz, amigos. Por lo tanto, los Representantes de los Estados Unidos de Amà ©rica, convocados en Congreso General, apelando al Juez Supremo del mundo por la rectitud de nuestras intenciones, en nombre y por la autoridad del buen pueblo de estas Colonias, solemnemente hacemos pà ºblico y declaramos: Que estas Colonias Unidas son, y deben serlo por derecho, Estados Libres e Independientes; que quedan libres de toda lealtad a la Corona Brità ¡nica, y que toda vinculacià ³n polà tica entre ellas y el Estado de la Gran Bretaà ±a queda y debe quedar totalmente disuelta; y que, como Estados Libres o Independientes, tienen pleno poder para hacer la guerra, concertar la paz, concertar alianzas, establecer el comercio y efectuar los actos y providencias a que tienen derecho los Estados independientes. Y en apoyo de esta Declaracià ³n, con absoluta confianza en la proteccià ³n de la Divina Providencia, empeà ±amos nuestra vida, nuestra hacienda y nuestro sagrado honor.

American With Disabilities Act Into Law - 1690 Words
More than fifty-six million Americans have one or more physical disabilities. Many of these individuals are physically able to partake in everyday activities, yet they are excluded from these opportunities (Crockett). People with disabilities are intentionally isolated by society due to a stereotypical assumption of their lack of abilities to participate and contribute (Harris 368). They are viewed as objects of pity, who are unable to work, go to school, or live on their ownâ⬠(Crockett). Ed Roberts, an individual with a disability, clearly states, [we] ââ¬Å"are considered the weakest, the most helpless people in our society, [but] are the strongest, and will not tolerate segregation, [and] will not tolerate a society which sees us as less than whole peopleâ⬠(Laney 21).

Bush signed the American with Disabilities Ac t into law on July 26, 1990. (The Americans with Disabilities Act: A Brief overview). Bush knew that the act was ââ¬Å"powerful in its simplicityâ⬠and that it would ââ¬Å"ensure that people with disabilities [were] given the basic guarantees for which they have worked so long and hardâ⬠(Americans with Disabilities Act, Medicine 3).

Race in Shakespeare Free Essays
Since the Middle Ages, the issues of race have long been discussed. In nearly every culture, race has been a topic of complex discussion that has brought social discomfort and in most instances racial prejudice ââ¬â Elizabethan England being no exception. William Shakespeare applies the issue of race in many of his plays; such in the tragedy of Othello that captures the reality of society in Elizabethan England, showing common racial bias of that era. We will write a custom essay sample on Race in Shakespeare or any similar topic only for you Order Now Through his characters in the play, Shakespeare illustrates Elizabethan social ideology towards race, in which foreigners have adapted to a lifestyle of racial prejudice.In order to better understand the racial context behind the tragedy of Othello it is important to keep in mind the historical complexities that existed in Elizabethan England. Elizabethan vision of foreigners was complex and evolving from the Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages, engaging with foreigners involved the spiritual and material aspect of life. Margo Hendricks, author of Shakespeare and Race, explains within Elizabethan culture and literature that foreigners were viewed as those implementing a ââ¬Å"process of vulgarization. Elizabethan awareness of foreigners was closely tied to the religious outlook of the world, in which followers of Judaism and Islam were the antithesis of Christians. The difference in religions prompted the same outlook on difference in race. In the beginning, foreigners mostly blacks, were forcefully brought over to Elizabethan England as ââ¬Å"creaturesâ⬠that possessed little to no rights. However, as time went on they became members of Elizabethan society known as moors. Although they were now members of society, racial integration with whites often clashed, resulting in complex tensions amongst the different races. Many foreigners in Elizabethan England were blacks, according to Diane Abbott, a current British Member of Parliament, in which the sudden rise in number caused Queen Elizabeth I to issue a proclamation complaining about this rise in numbers of blacks in England. For blacks, the aspect of color brought so many negative connotations in the eyes of white Elizabethan Christians that degraded them in Elizabethan society. In this regard, Shakespeare uses the issue of race in Othello, written during Elizabethan times, as one of the main themes in the story represented through characters such as Iago, Brabantio, and others.In the beginning of the play, Iago shares with Roderigo and the audience his intentions of manipulating Othello for his personal gain because Othello passed on Iago as his lieutenant, thus allowing Iago to act a need for revenge based on personal hatred. Before diving into examples illustrating racism in the play it is important to also understand Othelloââ¬â¢s backgro und in regards to being a black foreigner in Elizabethan society. Othello, who is the playââ¬â¢s protagonist, is a highly respected general of the Venetian armed forces, although being a ââ¬Å"Moorâ⬠, a man of North African descent.Ironically in the play, Othello is therefore presented in some ways opposite to the norms of Elizabethan society. While being a powerful figure and having the respect of his followers, Othello is still subject to racial backlash due to his societal role as a cultural outsider for being a foreigner. Moors, or those of African decent, were seen as second class citizens of Elizabethan society, treated with little respect, and making very little income to help support their families.Othello has to secretly marry Desdemona, a Venetian woman, because he knows not only would Desdemonaââ¬â¢s father be opposed to such a marriage between a foreigner and a Venetian, but also society wouldnââ¬â¢t be in favor of it either. This as we see in the play provokes more racial slurs towards Othello, although the love that Desdemona and Othello share for each other is too strong for race to become an issue between them. In the opening act of the play we see Iago, a veteran military man of Venice and the harshest critic of Othello throughout the play, share with Roderigo and the audience his intentions of reve nge against Othello.Here not only do we unravel Iagoââ¬â¢s personal hatred for Othello, but Roderigoââ¬â¢s racial views as well. ââ¬Å"What a full fortune does the thick lips owe if he can carryââ¬â¢t thus! â⬠(I, i ,65) Roderigo, who wants to win Desdemonaââ¬â¢s love away from Othello at any cost, calls Othello as ââ¬Å"thick-lipsâ⬠, a racial stereotype of blacks, when responding to Iago about their plans to turn Venetians such as Desdemonaââ¬â¢s father Brabantio, against Othello. As Roderigo and Iago go to awake Brabantio in the middle of the night to tell him of the news that Desdemona ran off with Othello to get married, multiple stereotypes and slurs are used in this exchange.Iago tells Brabantio that heââ¬â¢s been ââ¬Å"robbedâ⬠of his soul, for Othello has taken Desdemona by some sort of curse, being that thereââ¬â¢s no way a prominent Venetian woman would go off to marry a ââ¬Å"barbarianâ⬠instead of a Venetian man. ââ¬Å"Because we come to do you service and you think we are ruffians, youââ¬â¢ll have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse, youââ¬â¢ll have your nephews neigh to you, youââ¬â¢ll have coursers for cousins and jennets for germans. â⬠( I, i, 108) Iago, in his conversation with Brabantio, compares Othello to a Barbary horse in Africa.In a most obscene manner, Iago is informing Brabantio of the repercussions in their society if he doesnââ¬â¢t take action against Othello for his daughter is now within ââ¬Å"the gross clasps of a lascivious Moorâ⬠(act 1 sc. 1 line 141). The negative connotation of the color black isnââ¬â¢t only viewed in the eyes only Venetians in the tragedy of Othello. In fact, Othello uses the color black as a negative implication as well when he hears from Iago that Desdemona has been unfaithful to him. ââ¬Å" arise, black vengeance, from the hollow hell!â⬠¦ thy crown and hearted throne to tyrannous hate! III, iii, 447) It could be possible that perhaps those in Elizabethan England simply used black and white to mirror bad versus good, dark versus light, and through this view brought the same view of foreigners because of skin color. Brabantio accuses Othello of ââ¬Å"dark magicâ⬠as his way of wooing Desdemona, claiming his impurity in forcing his daughterââ¬â¢s willingness in marriage. Whereas many of such derogatory comments about Othello have much irony considering his status as a leader of the Venetian army, at the same time it clearly illustrates the social gap between citizens and foreigners. Regardless of the fact that Othello is a man of power ââ¬â as is Brabantio being a senator ââ¬â the view of foreigners is rather a big issue, in this case Brabantio despises Othello for his actions because his view just like many Venetians is that a foreigner with a Venetian brings impurity and disgrace to society. Othello being the black Moor of Venice shows an opposite pattern to the norm of Elizabethan society. While racism can be quite obvious through the language of some characters, it can be interpreted through minor characters as well.In the final act after Emilia sees that Othello has killed an innocent Desdemona, she yells ââ¬Å" O the more angel she, and you the blacker devil! â⬠(V, ii, 132) for believing Iago who was manipulating him the entire time, resulting in killing his innocent wife he much adored. Emilia uses the color as shades of evil, saying that Othello has done something terribly wrong that connects him to the devil. In my opinion, the murder of Desdemona restores order of Elizabethan society, where as Othello having power would disrupt the order of the social hierarchy, bringing chaos and social problems for others.While some determine Othello as the hero of the play, it is important to understand the historical prejudice of blacks from whites in Elizabethan England. My interpretation of the play in regards to the historical background of Elizabethan society leads me to believe Othello was by no means a hero in the play because he was made out to be very gullible in believing Iagoââ¬â¢s perceived truth of his wife, causing him to become jealous, heartbroken, and then proceeding by killing his wife with very little evidence that she was actually unfaithful to him.This could bring up questions about whether Shakespeare was in favor of societyââ¬â¢s racial prejudice towards blacks, against it, or just simply used it in his work as one of his appeals, although Othello is portrayed sympathetically as an articulate and intelligent man. In my opinion, had Shakespeare been against racism, he would have made the characters in the play that are racist such as Iago seem weak and have him fail his intentions of revenge on the Moor for choosing Cassio over Iago as lieutenant. In this play however, Iago is killed in such a way that makes him look like a martyr, and the real ââ¬Å"heroâ⬠of the play.Otherwise, I believe Shakespeare would have made much more emphasis on racism being so derogatory that Othelloââ¬â¢s actions would bring positive attitudes from the audience as well as sympathy, while making those that are racist hold major character flaws.Citations in MLA format ââ¬â Shakespeare, William.

Manage Organizational Changes
Question: Describe about manage organizational changes in technology? Answer: Introduction: Mobile technology, the technology focus for restaurants has complete big stride in the direction of mobile platform. According to this new development are seen in loyalty programs, order, compensation etc (Steve Myers, 2013). Developers are increasingly combining this function into a single solution, adding up an extra layer of convenience that is vital to incomplete services restaurants (Phillips, 1983). Looking to generation Z, focus on todays generation kids are more excited when its come to eating and they are eager to try new foods, after they came in certain stages kids even dont want to see their menu they are interested in looking to regular menu (Fanning, Marsh and Stiegert, 2010). Generation Z people are still love to eat pizza, chicken, etc but for todays generation they want more variation on this thing (Marshak, 2005). Pre-ordering food, in this customers order food from online system, because it is easy to deal with the cashier and they also create mobile ordering system which offers incentive like discounts, etc. in many fast food industry they are using this technology for over two years like pizza hut, subway etc are using it. Now a days customers love their mobile device, for fast food industry they first preference is toward their customers. According to today generation people are more dependable on their smart phones, while noticing this thing, industry owner launching a mobile application which will help the customers to order from there mobiles and pay for it with a credit card (Roehr, 2012). Mobile technology is become more popular and customers are enjoying checking a restaurants menu at their own rate and meting out their transaction while on the go. In several cases sometimes, customer visit to fast food restaurant where prepaid order is prepared for pickup. This recent technology has trapped the thought of many consumers to point out and differentiate among restaurants that recommend this option and those who dont and also expand preference for where they obtain fast foods (PeteBrookshaw, 2011). Impacts of new technology on the fast food industry: One of the positive impacts of new technology in fast food industries are mobile technology with the help of this technology they can place the order from online application, they can also pay via through credit card or cash on delivery (Fanning, Marsh and Stiegert, 2010). On the other hand negative impact of new technology is mergers play a very important role in this food chain sometime merges throughout a recession to grip a better share of market and raise in profits (Food, beverage membranes worth US$230mn by 2011, 2006). The mergers extended market share since it create the third largest fast food series in US (Caldwell, 2007). Technological advancement at McDonald: In McDonald technology are playing a vital role in it as well as they drive cost saving and operational effectiveness across the organization. Like for example in McDonald menu McSalads is not a single new thing on their menu apart from that company are also introducing wireless networking, internet terminals, music video etc in their stores. This is because providing their customers more choice and also makes the restaurants more relevant. Company is also introducing BT Open zone wifi hotspots into 561 drive thru stores, web based game for the children etc (Mcdonalds.com, 2015). Their strategy is to satisfy the customers needs while introduce this wifi hotspot they satisfy their business customers so that businessman can easily check there official mail while using the hotspot facilities. Along with that McDonald is hoping to cash in by forming revenue sharing partnership and advertising deals with its internet services providers and equipment providers. Techno science helps to improve customers experience and improve the products (Mcdonalds.com, 2015). Resistance to change: Individual resistance From starting, McDonald is known for their vegetarian product but according to the change in consumer test and preference they see that their product are not sold in the market later on the introducing their non- veg product to satisfy their customers those who prefer non-veg food items (Miettinen, 2005). Group resistance McDonald the company is making chicken items more instead of beef and pork because in America people are love to eat chicken more, apart from that according to the test and preference of Indian customers they come up with the spicy range of product because in India people love to eat spicy foods (Mcdonalds.com, 2015). From employees In McDonalds, employees are fully satisfied because they keep screw their employees above because they do the whole thing in their power to stop us organizing. Employees can also buy foods for half price. From owners/ franchisees Owner of McDonald plan was to visualize their strategy to maintain their brand image on course regardless of how market area might shift (Fanning, Marsh and Stiegert, 2010). From customers McDonald target their kid customer how to satisfy their kid customers for that they come up with the happy meal product inside that product there is a cartoon character which kid will love. Figure: Resistance to change (Anderson Anderson, 2001) Driving forces for changes: In McDonald customers are the driving forces for shaping the future of the food industry, and customer test and preference are keep on changing, and there is basic needs customer should understand by McDonalds so that they are retain in the organization and do not move to the competitor companies (Mcdonalds.com, 2015). Intense competition, there are huge competition in food industry; McDonald needs to have a calm with its competitors and build up new products which are behind the reach of its competitors (Mcdonalds.com, 2015). Restraining forces for changes: Restraining force for changes in customer demand, according to the customer demand McDonald changes their product because their basic needs are to satisfy their customers (Mcdonalds.com, 2015). Another one is competition, McDonald competitors are KFC, Subway. McDonald raising their product quality, so they can bit their competitors product. They come up with huge variety of products like spicy wrap, Mcflot. McMuffin, etc (Dean, 2009). Cost Benefit Analysis: In the context of technological advancement, McDonald has all kind of technological facilities to make sure easy way for its customers to use such as modern machineries to make the rise in production, online facilities etc. McDonald has free life insurance for three years, for store manger they provide free car facilities etc (Kotter, July 12, 2011). Kotters eight step model of changes: In case of McDonald the Kotters eight step model of changes revolves around three phases, such as create a climate for change, engage and enable the whole organization and implementation and sustain change (Fanning, Marsh and Stiegert, 2010). This indicates that the organization is throwing its weight behind product personalization and digital plan as it move onward required changes (Mcdonalds.com, 2015). Figure: Kotters 8 step model of change (Mullins, 2013) Conclusion: Thus to conclude, it is become clear that change is a foreseeable as well as invariable feature. It is an unpreventable element of both communal as well as organisational existence and thus organization like McDonald needs to emphasize on all issue related to incessant change in the long term aspect. It is also the fact that organisation solitarily unable to enlarge or change. It is its stakeholders who settle on the traditions of the organisation as well as who integrate change. The study of manage organization change as a result must have to contemplate on the performance, behaviour as well as usefulness of the change model. Further, there is also requiring appropriate solution to address the resistance to change at every level. References: Anderson, D. Anderson, L.A.
