Answer:
Explanation:
In my experience, the most valuable employees are the ones who are proactive. By definition, this means they control situations by causing things to happen rather than waiting to respond after things happen. People who are proactive don’t sit around waiting for answers to appear; they stand up, put one foot in front of the other, and find the answers. They don’t wait for someone to hand them an instruction manual and a box of tools; they’re resourceful.
Proactive people are constantly moving forward, looking to the future, and making things happen. They’re actively engaged, not passively observing. Being proactive is a way of thinking and acting.
Now, this concept can be a little abstract for some. An article written by motivational speaker, Craig Harper in 2007 explains it like this:
Reactive is, ‘I’ve got massive chest pain and pins and needles down my arm. Maybe I’ll go to the doctor.’ Proactive is, ‘Even though I have no symptoms, I want to live a long, healthy life so I have embraced the life-long habits of healthy eating and regular exercise.’
So, are you being proactive or reactive in the workplace?
Certainly, there are times when it’s appropriate to be reactive. We have plenty of decisions to make in-the-moment. There are times when we need to be flexible and adapt to a rapidly changing environment. There are times when long-term plans must be abandoned in order to meet immediate needs. And there will always be those unavoidable roadblocks that even the most proactive person in the world would not have been able to foresee or avoid.
However, the ability to be proactive provides a clear advantage in the workplace and most managers expect staff members to demonstrate a proactive mentality.
I have identified five key behaviors (The 5 P’s) involved in being proactive. Below, I’ve outlined my system and exactly how you can develop your abilities in each area.
Note: I’ve recently expanded my work on this topic and published the book, “The Proactive Professional: How to Stop Playing Catch Up & Start Getting Ahead at Work (and in Life). It’s available on Amazon here.
1. Predict
In order to be proactive, you must first develop foresight.
Proactive people are rarely caught by surprise. Learn to anticipate problems and events. Understand how things work; look for patterns; recognize the regular routines, daily practices and natural cycles that exist in your business. At the same time, don’t allow yourself to become complacent. Use your imagination when anticipating future outcomes. Don’t simply expect the past to always be an accurate predictor for the future; use your creativity and logic. Come up with multiple scenarios for how events could unfold. Proactive people are always on their toes.
2. Prevent
Proactive people foresee potential obstacles and exert their power to find ways to overcome them before those obstacles turn into concrete roadblocks.
They prevent problems that others would simply look back on in hindsight and claim unavoidable. Don’t allow yourself to get swept up in a feeling of powerlessness. When challenges approach, take control and confront them head on before they grow into overwhelming problems.
3. Plan
Proactive people plan for the future.
Avoid one-step, “here and now” thinking and instead, look ahead and anticipate long-term consequences. Bring the future into the present; what can you do today to ensure success tomorrow? Don’t make decisions in a vacuum; every decision is a link in a chain of events leading to one final conclusion. In order to make the best decision, you have to know where you came from, where you are, and where you want to end up.
4. Participate
Proactive people are not idle observers, they are active participants.
In order to be proactive, you must get involved. You have to take initiative and be a part of the solution. Recognize that you are only a piece of the whole and that you influence—and are influenced by—the actions of others. Don’t simply react to them. Engage with them. Exert your influence and make a contribution.
5. Perform
Being proactive means taking timely, effective action.
You must be decisive and willing to do the work NOW. Procrastination is not an option. Take ownership of your performance and hold yourself accountable. Stand behind your decisions. Being proactive means you have taken careful, thoughtful steps to choose the appropriate path; you’re not just reacting impulsively to your environment.

Why do you think the Constitution was written to share power between the states and the national government ?
The United States Constitution was written to share power between the states and the national government so the national government still was powerful without having tyranny, along with the states being powerful as well.
Before the United States Constitution, there was the Articles of Confederation. The Articles were very weak and gave little power to the national government. The national government could not tax the states, draft soldiers, create and enforce laws properly, regulate trade, and other important matters.
When the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called, it was originally planned to just amend the Articles of Confederation. Instead, they were scrapped altogether and the United States Constitution was created.
Many people realized by now that the national government was way too weak and needed to be given power, but still many people disagreed, as they were scared of tyranny. Power was given to the national government anyway, but many things were made so the government could not abuse its power.
The Tenth Amendment gives all of the powers not reserved for the national government, to the states. This makes the states powerful, along with the national government. Checks and balances and the separation of powers are important in keeping the national government from having too much power as well.

Briefly describe the difference between causation and correlation. Then identify an
example of each, either from history or from your own life.
Answer:
Explanation:
Image result for the difference between causation and correlation.
To answer questions like this, we need to understand the difference between correlation and causation. Correlation means there is a relationship or pattern between the values of two variables. ... Causation means that one event causes another event to occur.
Answer:
While cause and association may occur simultaneously, correlation does not imply causation. Causation specifically applies to circumstances in which behavior A causes effect B. Correlation is merely a correlation, on the other hand. Activity A corresponds to Action B, but the other event is not necessarily triggered by one case.
A new update of your mobile app has just been released. You make the main bet that in-app social habits are correlated with user retention with your software. You are telling the staff to build a new feature that encourages users to enter "communities."
Adoption sits at around 20 percent of all users one month after you release and reveal the latest community functionality. You create two equal-sized cohorts of randomly chosen users, curious about what groups affect retention. One group has only users who have joined groups, while the other cohort has only users who have not joined communities.

What was a main difference between European and Ethiopian Art?
Answer:
Ethiopian art from the 4th century until the 20th can be divided into two broad groupings. First comes a distinctive tradition of Christian art, mostly for churches, in forms including painting, crosses, icons, illuminated manuscripts, and other metalwork such as crowns. Secondly there are popular arts and crafts such as textiles, basketry and jewellery, in which Ethiopian traditions are closer to those of other peoples in the region. Whereas in the European view, it is of the figure or the body. Plus, the European paintings lay emphasis on a true representation of the physical appearance of the subject.
