Improving System Development Productivity In today’s working environment, several issues influence productivity, either for an individual or an organization, in its quest to maintain its system development. The IT sector constantly faces productivity challenges. According to Maxwell et al. (1996), because of the various issues that affect software development productivity, it makes it difficult to track and measure productivity. By improving productivity, the people involved and the organization as a whole, make the most out of every opportunity that they get. To enhance system development productivity, one would have to employ the use of a complex system that includes creating an ideal environment that facilitates the development process. The organization or team leader should create a work environment that compliments or sets productivity to succeed. An environment that allows for the collaboration and sharing of knowledge between employees have more chances of improving system development productivity. According to Balijepally et al. (2009), collaborations help boost the confidence of those working together. Another method is setting the big picture. According to Baldasari and Roux (2017), setting a clear plan makes it…
White Supremacy Also described as white supremacist, white supremacy is a concept used to refer or describe the racist beliefs held by some white people that they are superior to other races; hence they should dominate over them. White supremacists are known for their opposition to people that belong to other races, including the Jews. The term may also refer to the political philosophies that perpetuate and uphold institutional, social, chronological, or political supremacy by whites.

Machiavelli IV Assessment From the assessment I carried out, I have learned a few things about myself that I did not know of; for example, I have discovered that I am a high Mach. I focus and care so much about my well-being to the point of doing anything possible to benefit myself (Grace, 2018). Through the test, I have realized that I do not trust people easily and that I always assume that everyone in the world is not as good as they seem to be. I have also discovered that my thinking about other people is usually naïve as I view every person as a high Mach who will do anything to benefit themselves even if it is at the expense of someone else. The thought of everybody is out here to get ahead of the others in the society has made me not trust people easily to avoid them taking advantage of me or making me vulnerable. My thought on people’s success is that I believe that not every successful person in the world follows the moral…
