Business Marketing/ Real estate
By: Demetrius Edwards
During my career project I studied business marketing and real estate and I learned a lot. This project was so important to me because I did lots of research on the career that I’m choosing for my future. It taught me the good and the bad so that if I do choose to follow in this lifestyle then I’ll know the ups and the downs. I first researched business marketing the followed up with real estate.
While doing my research on business marketing I learned that it is not all that easy to jump into this career. Even though it may be tough it still doesn’t push me away from pursing my career. I’m still interested in business marketing, because owning my own store or any business has always been a dream of mine. Some people may say that it’s tough to accomplish this goal, but in my mind nothing is hard if only you apply your abilities to learn. I have a couple of people in my family that have been running business for a period of time now and even though the economy is not doing so great right now they are still managing to get through the tough times and they are my role model.
Speaking of role models I have couple of them. Mr. Ken Barnes whom works in the school that I attend and also my cousin Rodney Copper, they both work in the field of real estate. They both taught me a lot about how to be successful and what to watch out for when I ever do make in their shoes. The most valuable thing that I learned from doing my mentorship was always become flexible with your buyers. No matter if you want to sell your land, house, or etc if your customer does not have all of the money that you are expecting then bend a little with them and this way that you know that since you showed them some love that they will always come in contact with you when they choice to move again. Another beneficial thing to become successful was to not only work for the money, but to enjoy what you do and this will help you out as a realtor by people spreading the word of you.
If I were to pursue this career then I would choice being a realtor, because I think that I’m good with talking to people, I’m very persuasive to get you in my comfort zone, and I’m good at selling my self. Running my own real estate company would be even better, because then I would be able to pursue both of my goals by owning a company and becoming a realtor doing something that I think I’d love. Hopefully that since I have someone in my family that choose the same path that I’ll be token under his wing and showed more then I already know.
Through all the hard work that I did on my research project I really believed that it really strengthen me in numerous ways. It taught me that I’ll have to become patient, because this career doesn’t happen over night it takes school and more school and also lots of your time, but it’s worth it in the long run. I’m glad that I had the opportunity to work on this project and on something that I look forward to doing in my future.

Mentornship
Business Marketing/ Real Estate
By; Demetrius Edwards
Hi my name is Demetrius Edwards and I am doing my research paper on business marketing and also on being in the real estate business. I have no experience at this time to run my own but for the last couple of days I have been talking with my cousin Rodney Copper and also a good friend at school Mr Ken Barnes. They have a lot in common because their in real estate. While I got a chance to talk to the both of them they basically schooled me on the same things.
My first question was what are the steps of becoming a real estate agent. Well you'll have to first sign up for a class through school (colleges or schools that teaches the classes) for at least eight - ten weeks. Then after that you have finished that class you have to sign up for a licence test from the state. Just because you are doing the classes and may even finish them and the licences test, your licence are still inactive until you find a real estate company that you can work for.
Next I asked what type of work do you do in this business. From Mr. Barnes, he told me that he likes to work in first time home buyers. There are many reasons why he choose to do this type of work one is because he is good with people and he knows how to attract the attention of the home buyers. Another reason why is because he wants to be not only their realtor for that one house but for every time they want to move then they'll always call on him. Then my cousin Rodney cousin sells property and land. The reason for this work is because people by houses everyday and think bout it they have to find property and land and actually he's the one that sold my mother her land. I have also have been with him while he was making propositions for others who fell into the interest.
While doing this mentornship I also asked if this career was a guarantee pay and I heard what I thought I was going to hear. In this career its a commission based business what every you may sell has a percentage on it given to you by the real estate company you may work for. Trying to make lots of money is based on marketing and selling yourself. What I mean by that is when you are marketing then you just may have homes of land with a for sell or rent sign in the yard. When I'm talking about selling yourself I'm talking about promoting what you do for a living. Going from door to door handing out your cards, in the public, and etc. since you have so many task that you have to you will soon get calls and you will start offering and that's when the pay is good and the best way of getting buyers is word of mouth from your other customers.
Being a realtor you might have to take many chances to with your investments and learning to be partners. There is so much competition and sometimes you might have to link up with them, lets say for instants you have buyers to buy a house that describes the same as another realtor owns, but you want to make something out of the deal because you have the buyer then you and the other realtor would have to set a commission or percentage of what the buyers spending. Now if you a buyer that has already or maybe a person who don't even knows you and your price is to high for them then in order to succeed in this career you have to be flexible. By you doing this then you should always have them as a buyer and hope that they'll spread the word about how understanding you are.
This project really helped me out with the stuff that I didn't know about this career. Right know (speaking on the time that the world is going through a recession) It's kinda hard for any realtor because of the economy. Although when it's all together the best or booming season for realtor's is in the summer and spring when it's hot out, because during the winter in the cold how many people do you know would like to travel and move from house to house? I would like to thank Mr. Barnes and Rodney Copper for their amazing time and I hope that this helps me out in my future.

Research paper
Business Marketing
By; Demetrius Edwards
Business marketing is not just any simple thing that people may think that it is. Business marketing is the practice of individuals, or organizations, including commercial businesses, governments and institutions, facilitating the sale of their products or services to other companies or organizations that in turn resell them. Use them as components in products or services they offer, or use them to support their operations. Also known as industrial marketing, business marketing is also called business-to-business marketing.
When entering business marketing you have to be ready for one of the most important things of them all and that is consuming a strategy. Your marketing strategy is the single biggest factor which determines the success or failure of your company. It doesn’t matter if you run a multi-million dollar company, if you do not come up with a proper business marketing strategy then you go the same way of many other who suffered from not using this method. Your strategy should effect every aspect of how you run the company. It is the heart and soul of a successful business. Being a business man/woman it is also important to build a relationship between your employees and customers.
If you’re dedicated on building a successful business then another thing that follows up is building an organization that thrives upon strong relationships with your customers and employees, but that can be done in no time. All you have to have is an open mind because with out a sense of humor you will not be able to build this type of bond. Once you start to know both your customers and employees on a regular and you can crack jokes with them, tell them your life experiences, or to just have someone to talk to then you no you’ve got them right were you want them. If you think that you don’t have to do this because you are at a higher power and that you’ll become rich in the next couple of years your wrong. Getting the instant wealth is not promised nor can you just sit back and watch the money roll in. Entrepreneurs still have to still have to implement the strategy in the company and if your thinking about success then they’ll also have to build bond between their employees and customers. With also building this bond there’s another step to help keep customers interested and that is consuming a guide.
The business guide is sort of like the business strategy and that’s because you are nearly imputing everything from your strategy. The guide has different types of ideas you can come up for the company and the customers. To attract more attention you could write an article of your goods in the business and how it could be beneficial to other with a memorable logo on your website and/or the news paper. Creating a business card is also a smart thing to do. Lets say if you are out in the community and you might see a couple of people who don’t know anything about your business then you’ll have cards to hip them on the types of stuff your company produces.
Competition is also another factor that you have to worry about. First you would want to gather your competition intelligence and use them upon him or her. By now you should now how they are running there business and how they are selling their merchandise so you now have to make sure that you create a unique selling proposition to make your ads and other materials stand out from the competition. Always keep up with different brand, because branding is one of the main attractions. Make sure that your brands are going to be better and/or lesser than the competition also come up with do’s and don’ts to watch out for failure and if success then use an e-book to promote your business.
If you are trying to be a business person now days you would probably have problems especially if your trying to start up a small business because of how the economy has changed. It would be hard for a small business to compete with a multi billion dollar company because of the cost of the merchandise and then depending on how your company is going to sell it, a small business would have to charge higher than the larger ones therefore people would rather shop at the larger company to get the same stuff just cheaper. In this case you would see more and more companies with going out of business signs and everything half off.
Being in business marketing can be a big chip on your shoulders if you do not come with a successful plan to survive in the industry. You have lots of obstacles to face in order to become a good entrepreneur and a well around business man. I’m pretty sure if you want to be in business marketing and if you follow all of the given procedures then you will become a successor in this line of labor.

Anglo-Saxon's
1. In the story Anglo-Saxon's of Beowulf it was a exciting piece of literature. I liked it because it had lots of leaders and warriors and that's what I classify myself as. It starts of with Shield the son of Sheaf who took on many enemies and their chair and terrified many other warriors. then Shield had a son sent by {as they say} to comfort the people and keep them form fear. Grain was his name.
Grain ruled a long time after his fathers death, and he also had a son who's name was the great Healfdene. he was a fierce battler who ruled for quite some time. He had kids and his son Hrothgar becomes king of Danes; he won many battles . His friends and family obeyed him and his childhood friends became his warriors but he had a problem when Grendel came along.
This is the part that stuck out to me the most because when Grendel came along he just terrorised the place. He had started taking the kings men and killing them. This went on for about 12 years. Hrothgar was broken he didn't no what to do and that's what caught my attention because the king does not suppose to show his warriors and Danes that he is hurting he suppose to be the strongest one. He even started calling on to the devil for help, they forgot about God, But Hydelac's a warrior heard about Grendel's doings and Beowulf came to fix the problem.
In Anglo-Saxon culture and literature, to be a hero was to be a warrior. A hero had to be strong, intelligent, and courageous. Warriors had to be willing to face any odds, and fight to the death for their glory and people. In Beowulf, the Anglo-Saxon hero is well defined by the actions of Beowulf. It is obvious that Beowulf is the quintessential hero. His strength and courage are not comparable, and he is much more humble (and honorable) than many of the corrupt warriors around him. Beowulf displays his great strength time after time. Whether he is fighting sea monsters, Grendel's mother, or a horrible fire-breathing dragon.
2. Because Beowulf showed that he was strong, courageous, and was willing to go up against anyone or anything. "The helmet and armor were quickly loosed from the strong man". "Holy God, out of kindness,has sent this man to us to save us from Grendel's terror.I shall give treasuresto that brave manfor his impetuous courage".
3. The Anglo-Saxon hero possessed many traits which heroes today possess. They were strong, intelligent, tactful, courageous, and willing to sacrifice all for glory and their people."And now I shall, alone, fight Grendel. I ask you, lord of the Danes,protector of this people,for only one favor:that you refuse me not,fair friend of the people,do not refuse those who have come so far the chance to cleanse Herot". He's saying that he wants to take on this beast and the only thing he don't want the king to do is stop him from killing the monster to protect the people. As if the soldiers of our world would say to the government about war on terrorist.
4. It was as if Beowulf didn't want to fight back in his last battle. The only thing that he did was hold his shield out as if he couldn't or wouldn't draw his sword and defend himself. It was kind of sad to see Beowulf go out like that because he always went out in a battle giving a hundred and ten percent but not in the last it was like he just gave up.
Despite his wounds.( "He knew well he'd seen the last of this world's joys,that he'd numbered his last day".) He left his soilders behind to do as he had to become the ones that everyone is affraid of and to protect their people. The people mourned for a while but they also gave him his praise."Thus the Geatsmourned their great lord,saying he was,among this world's kings,the mildest, the gentlest,the kindest to his people,and the most eagerfor eternal fame".

The Middle Ages
1. The crusades was a war over the city of God, in other words Jerusalem. This was a war fought by the Christians and the Muslims and it was said to last over 200 years. In 1076 the Muslims had captured Jerusalem but the most holy of holy places for Christans. This crusade were a significant factor in mideval time.
1b In the Martyrdom of Thomas `a Becket who was an archbishop of Rome. He had risen to great power as chancellor or prime minister under his friend King Henry II. In December 1170 rage against his old friend Henry brought a death wish on Thomas, but the wish did not intend to kill this bishop. But the most positive effect of this was on the mideval Church's power was the cultural unity. The church continued to be the center of learning.
1c. In the Magna Carta the most clearly haralded return of democratic tendencies was the signing of the Magna Carta. By King John at runnymede in 1215. Jhon who was vicious but strongly backed up by the pope, but was forced to sign the document. This signing was a defeat for central papal power.
1d. The Black Death was another blow to feudalism, besides the growth of cities and the hundred years war was the black death. This struck England in 1348-1349, the disease, highly contagious and spreadby fleas from infected animals reduced the nations population by a third. The Black Death came in three forms, the bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic. Each different form of plague killed people in a vicious way. All forms were caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis.
2.The knight was a cool person though so strong and brave he was also smart. He wore onlysimple cloths and his habergeon. " He was a truly perfect, noble knight.But now, to tell you all of his array,His steeds were good".
The Squire was the son of the knight and was a lover and a lively bachelor. He was twenty years of age and always stayed fresh as if he was the month of May."Courteous he, and humble, willing and able and carved before his father at the table".
The Prioress who also is called a nun. She was so holy she would almost cry when a rat was caught in a rat trap dispite if it was living or not."That she would weep if she but saw a mouse
Caught in a trap, whether it were dead or bled".
The Monk was a manly man he loved to do stuff that envolved outside activites." Hunting was his sport;A manly man, to be an abbot able"; hunting was his sport;A manly man, to be an abbot able

The cook was the person who prepared the meals for the campers and it was good. "To boil the chickens with the marrow-bones and For sweet blanc-mange, he made it with the best".
The physician looked after the people and was a fine doctor by just using natural science and the study of astrological signs. " He cared for and saved a patient many times by natural science and studying astrological signs".
The Parson was a good man of religion he was poor morally but rich holy in his thoughts. "And this metaphor he added thereunto -That, if gold would rust, what shall iron do?For if the priest be foul, in whom we trust,No wonder that a layman thinks of lust"?
The Plowman was also there and he was a great worker and loved his job but loved God most. "
Living in peace and perfect charity. He loved God most, and that with his whole heart At all times, whether it was easy or hard, And next , his neighbour, even as himself ".
The Miller was a Strong person that they had to move stuff around and carry. "Was a strong fellow, be it known, Hardy, big of brawn and big of bone; Which was well proved, for wherever a festive day he was useful".
The clerk was a smart man who took his school studies very serious and thanked the ones who helped him be able to achieve these goals. "He took utmost care and heed for his study.
Not one word spoke he more than was necessary. He who'd studied philosophy".
The WIFE of BATH was skillful at making clothes and was also deaf. "At making clothes she had a skillful hand and In company well could she laugh and chat. The remedies of love she knew, perchance, For of that art she'd learned".
The PARDONER was a man who loudly sang and a very strong and courageous voice. "
Loudly he sang "Come hither, love, to me," The summoner added a strong bass to his song;
No horn ever sounded half so strong".
The A HABERDASHER and a CARPENTER, an ARRAS-MAKER, DYER, and WEAVER were like in a fraternity on how the way they dressed and stayed together. " Clothed in the same livery,
All of one solemn, great fraternity.Freshly and new their gear, and well adorned it was".
3. From the Canterbury I have read about the Parson. He was a very kind hearted person who always put GOD first. He helped those who needed it and wasnt even welthy at all. He was poor but religiously he was the most richest person in spirit. He liked making up metaphors and his favorite was if gold would rust, what shall iron do?For if the priest be foul, in whom we trust,
No wonder that a layman thinks of lust?
4.They still had to serve a king, the king had to provide food for the poor or peasants, and everything that involved somthing of the country the king had to know about. This explains why the parson and the others were so poor. He and the rest had to work so much for really no pay and then had to turn around and pay what they have earned to give it all back to the king. That why the parson said he was rich holy in his thoughts.

The Restoration
1. The Glorious Revolution or the Bloodless Revolution. Was the restoration of Charles II in 1660. When he met with misgivings by many Englishmen who suspected the Stuarts of Roman Catholic and absolutist leanings. When he died his brother James II stepped up and most English people were utterly opposed to James, just as most most Americans today would be violently upset if a proclaimed communist were to become president. The Roman Catholics caused disasters and were trying to hand over the country to the Pope. In 1688 that's when the bloodless revolution was accomplished.
I think that the bloodless revolution was important because they didn't have anyone that was king or queen trying to hurt or bring trouble to the people of England. Every since the bloodless revolution England rulers have been, at least nominally Anglicans. In the gradual process by which practical power shifted from the monarch to Parliament.
2. Satire- Is a way to make fun of society by using stupidity and or ridiculous methods on life.Examples of satire are; the Simpson's, family guy, the boondocks and scary movie.
3. The Modest Proposal is about how the parents and children were walking around the kingdom begging for different stuff so they were called the beggers. But then Jonathan wanted to prevent the youngsters from growing up and being what there parents are, and to make them become more useful to the community. This is a type of satire because it making fun of society and the people in it. It's talking down on the parents and children of how they were sort of a problem to the community.
4.From the Journal of the Plague Year was a terrible disease. People were dying back to back from the parents to even the children. Their body, sweat, and clothes were all contagious." In these walks I had many dismal scenes before my eyes", in particular people were falling dead in the middle of the streets and terrible screechings of woman and kids would cry out loud and scream death death death and no one would seem surprised if they died or not.
5.The most important thing to people who lived in these times were to get away of try to escape from the plague. If someone could try to head to another town to stop themselves from receiving the disease then they would try before its to late! " I remember one citizen who having broken out of his house or thereabout, and went along the road to Islington", were he got to an inn and asked for lodging for one night because the plague had not reached much that way.
