For Aristotle, true freedom and liberty consists in ruling and being ruled in turn and not always insisting on fulfilling one's own personal desires at the cost of others. Thus, for dysseus, true freedom can only come about when one is allowed to contribute to society for the betterment of everyone involved, a sure sign of……

One special dramatic festival was devoted to Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, and featured what were known as satyr plays, so-called because the actors portrayed half-human, half-animal roles, often in the form of a goat. The term tragedy is derived from the words "goat" and "song" and refers to plays with plots involving fierce conflicts and characters which symbolized powerful human and divine forces. Certainly, Homer's Odyssey could be viewed as one of these types of plays, due to the conflicts encountered by Odysseus on his way home to Ithaca and the will of the gods who often attempted to complicate his journeys through sorcery and magic, such as Odysseus and his troubles with Circe, the beautiful female witch that turned his men into pigs as a form of punishment.

A the ultimate example of a democratic social system with freedom, personal responsibilities and moral direction. However, although Odysseus the man was not without his faults and failures, he does symbolize the true Greek hero and citizen elite, due to his unfaltering goal to return home to his wife Penelope and to bring peace and tranquillity to Ithaca.

What are FedEx's four main business segments? Provide two examples of traceable fixed costs for each of FedEx's four business segments. Provide two examples of common costs that are not traceable to the four business segments.

Fed Ex has four main business segments. They are FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, and FedEx Kinko's. A fixed cost that is traceable in a segment only exists because of the existence of the segment itself (Noreen, Brewer, & Garrison, 2008). If the segment is removed then so is the cost. Common costs are incurred to support operations of multiple segments of a company and are not traceable in any way or part of a particular segment (Noreen, Brewer, & Garrison, 2008). If a segment is removed then the cost remains and doesn't change.

A traceable fixed cost for FedEx Express is the cost of their facilities at Memphis International Airport, which includes hangars, aircraft maintenance, flight training, fuel facilities, administration building, and warehouse space. FedEx Express also has traceable costs in maintaining the 557 airplanes they own. They also have costs related to operating their offices and information data centers that are located in Pittsburgh and owned by FedEx Ground. Costs are also related to the salaries of the CEO plus all the worker's salaries. Traceable costs also include the costs to maintain the 39,500 vehicles and trailers plus the cost of operating their customs-critical headquarters in Green, Ohio. FedEx Kinko's traceable costs include operating 1,290 Office and Print Centers as well as the salary

It is these elements that give the client confidence to take action based on the ideas sourced during coaching exercise. As Goldsmith and Lyons (2006, p. 146) note, "transfer of knowledge flows from relationships of trust."
