The Simpson: my favorite serie

Simpsons FamilyPicture.pngIt's time to talk about my favorite serie: The Simpson. This serie was created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. Since its debut on December 17, 1989, the series has broadcast 574 episodes, and 26 seasons! I think that the 10th and 15th are the best! The Simpson family is formed for Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. The serie is a parody of the american culture. The Simpson live in Springfield, a town that we don't know in which state in USA is, is like a mystery. 
In some episodes appear famous people like Lady Gaga and George Bush. The Simpson have special Halloween episodes, "Threehouse of Horror", that are so funny! 
I love the serie because is a funny way to analyze and criticize not only the american lifestyle, it's a form to laugh of all the western culture. 
I prefer to see comedy series like The Big Bang Theory and Friends, we need to laugh a little every day with funny situations and distract of our lives (:
I don't have satellite TV in my house and I can't see all the series that I want, like Games of Thrones, House of Card and Breaking Bad, but I will see it, someday.
What is your favorite serie? Tell me!

Harold Koontz: an expert in administration

Hello! In this post I'm going to talk about an expert on my field, administration, Harold Koontz, that is a eminence internationally recognized and that in his life made great contributions in this field.
Harold Koontz was an American organizational theorist, professor of business management at the University of California, Los Angeles and a consultant for many of America's largest business organizations. He was born on 1909 and died on 1984. He was co-authored the book "Principles of Management" with Cyril J. O'Donnell; the book has sold around two million copies and has been translated into 15 languages.
Koontz was a member of the American Academy of Management and of the International Academy of Management.
I admire him because in his most important book, "Principles of Management", he points out that management is the process of designing and maintaining an environment where individuals, working together in groups, efficiently achieve the chosen objectives.
Koontz taught a new perspective of the administration, and with his theory eased the process to achieve the wellness, changing the structure in five stages: planning, organization, control, direction and evaluation. I based a dissertation in his way to see the administrative process that is actually used in the Public Administration.
