...corporate, and educational success relies largely on a person’s ability to make valuable and ethical professional decisions. The differences in ethical and moral characteristics can have positive or disastrous effects on careers and personal lives. In this paper the importance of understanding personal ethical perspective and the relationship between personal and professional ethics in psychology will be discussed. According to Mulcahy (2011), the Ethics Awareness Inventory Core is a philosophical study of moral values based on assumptions of what is determined to be right and wrong. The acronym for Core means Character, Obligation, Results, and Equity. These words define the meaning as a set of principles of beliefs for the background of the concept that includes morals, values principals, and rules that include standards of conduct and obligations for individuals and organizations. The ethical awareness inventory helps in evaluate the ethical style of an individual. This program asks a series of questions and evaluates the answers. Based on the answers an individual learns what his or her ethical perspective is. Many people view ethics from different perspectives and because of these differences is natural for people to have ethical conflicts with others. For example, an individual who has a different view about religion and politics may see ethical issues differently from another person who has a different perspective of religion and politics. In essence, ethics, like values...

...Women home-based business owners: insights from comparative analyses Karyn Loscocco and Andrea Smith-Hunter Introduction Women are becoming entrepreneurs at a more than proportionate rate compared to men (Renzulli et al., 2000). There has been a corresponding interest in studying who these women are, what motivates them to become owners, and what affects their economic success (Clark and James, 1992; Loscocco et al., 1991; Moore and Buttner, 1997; Smith-Hunter, 2000; (Renzulli et al., 2000; Weiling et al., 2001). The woman home-based business owner (HBB), however, remains understudied. There has been more research on women working from home during the past decade (Heck et al., 1992; Waldrop, 1994; Jurik, 1998; Prestniz, 1989), but the bulk of the work in this area has been on homebased employment (Powers, 1995; Dannhauser, 1999; Edwards and Field-Hendrey, 1996; Ahrentzen, 1990; Bailyn, 1989), rather than HBB ownership. Though the work in these areas is a much-needed complement to studies of men small business owners, to our knowledge no study has yet to compare the woman home-based owner to her obvious counterpart, the woman who locates her business outside of the home. We seek to answer a number of questions about women who own and operate businesses from their home by comparing them to women owners whose businesses are run elsewhere. We are motivated by recent statistics showing that the HBB sector in the US is substantial in size and sales. In 1997, HBB represented 52...

...Harvard Business School 9-398-008 Rev. June 7, 1999 Providian Trust: Tradition and Technology (A) A New CEO Within two weeks of accepting the position of CEO of Providian Trust Company, Stephen Walsh, a lawyer by training, faced an unusual corporate conflict and he would have to play the role of judge. There was an extraordinary difference of opinion between Providian Trust’s internal auditor, Peter Storey, and the leaders of a major information technology (IT) project in the trust division. “Peter’s extremely vocal point ran to the issue of documentation, that it was incomplete and should be brought up to speed,” explained Walsh. The conflict reached a climax during an Audit Committee meeting on May 13, 1995, when members of the committee, who were all on the Providian Trust board of directors, expressed to Walsh that they had lost confidence in the internal auditor and recommended that the external auditor, Steinman & Smith, do an analysis of the project documentation prior to implementation. The purpose of the project was to convert the trust division’s outdated information system into a more efficient system using Access Plus, new trust and custody management software made by Select One. The project had been initiated in 1993 under a former CEO, who had been dismissed by the board, and had continued under an interim CEO. By the time Walsh arrived on the scene, over two-thirds of the $18 million budget had been invested in the implementation of the IT...

...ATTITUDES AND SOCIAL COGNITION Thinking Too Much: Introspection Can Reduce the Quality of Preferences and Decisions Timothy D. Wilson University of Virginia Jonathan W Schooler University of Pittsburgh In Study 1, college students' preferences for different brands of strawberry jams were compared with experts' ratings of the jams. Students who analyzed why they felt the way they did agreed less with the experts than students who did not. In Study 2, college students' preferences for college courses were compared with expert opinion. Some students were asked to analyze reasons; others were asked to evaluate all attributes of all courses. Both kinds of introspection caused people to make choices that, compared with control subjects', corresponded less with expert opinion. Analyzing reasons can focus people's attention on nonoptimal criteria, causing them to base their subsequent choices on these criteria. Evaluating multiple attributes can moderate people's judgments, causing them to discriminate less between the different alternatives. When faced with a difficult decision, people sometimes spend a good deal of time thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative. At one point or another, most of us have even reached for a sheet of paper and made a list of pluses and minuses, hoping that the best course of action would become clear. Reflection of this kind is generally thought to be beneficial, organizing what might otherwise be a confusing jumble...

...Introduction Most of the time, physical abuse is not recognize by peoples as a serious problem. Physical abuse occurs when someone physically hurts you, such as by hitting you or throwing something at you. Even if someone only hits you once or doesn't hurt you that badly, it is a big deal. It may be not so serious because it seems they’re not badly hurt, but what the people doesn’t know is they are causing harm, a serious harm to that people they hurt physically.Abuse tends to escalate, putting you at greater risk in the future. Just one incident of being physically hurt by anyone is unacceptable, and you should take steps to stop the abuse. They cause harm in the sense that that even small hurting can cause hidden scars, Hidden scars which are formed by the emotional and psychological wounds. This Hidden scars is manifested by almost all of the people specifically during their teenage years. All parents want a disciplined and well behaved child. However, there are times when a parent loses control or simply has no control over their child. This is when simple parenting crosses the line and becomes emotional abuse. Emotional abuse is elusive. Unlike physical abuse, the people doing it and receiving it may not even know it is happening. It can be more harmful than physical abuse because it can undermine what we think about ourselves. It can cripple all we are meant to be as we allow something untrue to define us. Emotional abuse can happen between parent and child, husband...

...Seminar Kebangsaan Perpustakaan Akademik 2011 AN ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LIBRARY RESOURCES AND SERVICES IN SUPPORTING RESEARCHERS’ INFORMATION NEEDS Arinawati Ayob Perpustakaan Hamzah Sendut Universiti Sains Malaysia 11800 USM Pulau Pinang ABSTRACT As one of the supporting departments of a university, the academic library plays an important role in providing essential information resources and services to the researchers. Changes in information technology have impacted libraries due to changes in the format of information resources and the information seeking behavior of users. Technology has transformed the way researchers seek, obtain and use information. Libraries therefore need to critically examine the effectiveness of their services in fulfilling their researchers‟ information needs. An assessment of the effectiveness of library services has been conducted at an academic library based on selected criteria in four domains stated in the literature; 1) resources 2) services 3) library/stakeholders interactions and 4) access. The result from the survey has provided ideas about the strengths and the weaknesses of the library services from the perspective of researchers. The research also studied the relationship between demographic characteristics and library activities of the researchers and their perceived effectiveness of the library services in supporting their information needs.

...Shoguns were considered to be the bureaucrats of the country. In comparison the peasant class accounted for 80 % Japan’s population were restricted to engaging activities that were associated with agricultural and farming. The reason for this is that the Shogun wanted to ensure that those with authority and power were able to generate a stable source of income from their land, while leaving the peasants with little to survive on. The political stability of the Tokugawa period was under threat due to the colonial expansions of countries such as Portugal and Spain into Asia, via catholic missionaries (1). The reason why the Towkugwa Shogun`s feared catholic missionaries, was that they believe that their forging ideology and beliefs would conflict with their own, which could potentially lead to them being overruled by the peasant class. This is because man peasants were now converting to Christianity. In order to ensure this never occurred the Shogun enforced a decree, in which banned the practise and preaching of Christianity would be completely banned the practise and preaching of...
