...Danielle Murray Saint Leo University MBA 530 – Conflict Resolution Dr. Cecile T. Massé, Ph.D. April 10, 2014 Assignment #2 Abstract Conflict is something that comes up every day whether at home, work, school, or out running errands. There is no way to escape conflict. We must find ways to resolve the conflict; otherwise, life will be miserable and stressful. In this paper, I will be discussing the types of conflict, approaches to conflict resolution, and how to deal with conflict. Introduction We resolve conflicts every day without even realizing it. It can be something as small as arguing over what color the sky is to something as major as a car accident. Everyone deals with issues that come up in different ways. Nelson & Quick (2013) defined conflict as “any situation in which incompatible goals, attitudes, emotions, or behaviors lead to disagreement or opposition for two or more parties” (p. 472). Resolution was then defined as “a decision or determination; the act determining an action or course of action, method, procedure, etc” (“Resolution, 2014). In 2013, Ome summed up conflict resolution as “a variety of approaches aimed at terminating conflicts through the constructive solving of problems” (p. 5512). Types of Conflict Nelson & Quick (2013) broke down the types of conflicts for us to better understand and distinguish. Functional conflict is a healthy, constructive disagreement between two or more people (p. 472). It can produce more ideas and build...

...SOUMI BANERJEE UG:2 ; 4th Semester; ROLL NO. : 107 PAPER :Major 5----- INDIAN POLITICS SINCE INDEPENDENCE. THE CHANGING DYNAMICS OF PEASANT MOVEMENT IN INDIA The agrarian structure and land reforms in india have undergone a significant change since Independence both as a result of land reforms during the mid-fifties and more so as a consequence of rapid-technological changes, especially since the mid-sixties. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, increase inproduction of commercial crops and introduction of canal irrigation in some parts of india acted as a catalyst in enhancing agrarian development. However, irrigation investment was confined to only limited areas and also the archaic land relations provided a strong barrier to the full exploitation of the benefits of new technology. The land relations were more or less semi-feudal in the Permanently settled ares.Even in the Mahalwari and Ryotwariares, where land transfers had been legalized,large tracts of land had passed to absentee money-lenders and sahukars, due to large-scale peasants’ indebtedness. This resulted in peasant uprising in various parts of India. Moreover because of the non-differentiation in the peasantry and the all-embracing nature of the anti-imperialist struggle, the peasant movement was able to unite all section of the peasantry. The nature of the peasant movement in the colonial period can only be understood in the context of the then existing mode and relations...

...MANAGEMENT QUESTION The construction industry is competitive and volatile. Owners of construction companies need to look at certain factors to help them predict the market. One of the factors that they can look at is the number of building plans being approved. It may be argued that if more building plans are approved there will be more work for the construction industry and therefore less companies in the construction industry being liquidated. The question therefore is: Is there a significant correlation between the number of building plans being approved and the number of companies in the construction industry being liquidated? For ease of reference “Building Plans” will mean the number of building plans being approved and “Liquidations” will mean the number of companies in the construction industry being liquidated. DATA AND HYPOTHESES All data used in this assignment was obtained from Statistics South Africa (http://www.statssa.gov.za/timeseriesdata/excel_format.asp) and extracts thereof are provided in table format in Appendix A. The time period under evalution is January 2000 to October 2011. The raw monthly data was used. The null and alternative hypotheses are: H0: There is no significant linear relationship between Liquidations (dependent variable) and Building Plans (independent variable). H1: A significant linear relationship exists between Liquidations and Building Plans. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 1 Description of data Excel...

...Chapter 6 Property Accountability at Unit Level This chapter discusses concepts and procedures for accounting for organizational property and weapons. Another major concept introduced in this chapter is the command supply discipline program. It also introduces the basic methods for the relief of property accountability. 6-1. ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY. Property accountability is one of the greatest challenges a company commander will face during his tour of duty. The commander can do many things during a command tour but still fail as a commander if he does not maintain proper accountability of his equipment. The commander has the responsibility to keep the unit's property in serviceable condition. The commander must stress to the soldiers that each person is responsible for all property in his charge and not just for property that is listed on the unit property books. Commanders must also ensure their soldiers properly account for unit property. AR 710-2 and AR 735-5 contain the Army policy for property accountability and responsibility. DA Pam 710-2-1 contains the manual procedures for property accountability. DA Pam 735-5 contains procedures for officers conducting a report of survey. Property Accountability. Property accountability is the obligation of a person to keep an accurate formal record of property issued to him. The record should show item identification data, quantities, balances, and transactions. This obligation may not be delegated. The accountable officer...

...Cheah Boon Kiat 930228-02-5513 UKT – 02350 / 0414 UKT April Intake 2014 This question requires the discussion of the threats of the rule of and opportunities posed by the rise and fall of the rule of law around the world. As show above, this clearly covers the topic of rule of law in public law. The rule of law is sited by A.V Dicey. According to A.V Dicey, the rule of law is one of the important pillar of the British constitution, with Parliament Sovereignty being the other pillar. This is because the United Kingdom does not have a written constitution. “There are three conception stated by Dicey in accordance to the rule of law. First, no man is punishable or can be lawfully made to suffer in body or goods except a breach of law. This indicates the notion against arbitrariness. Second is that, no man is above the law. This shows that there must be equity upon every person in respect to the law. Lastly which is a general principle that courts are the determine factor of right of private person. This prove that common law courts represents the greatest protection for any individual rights.” According to Hilare Barnett, “the organs of the currently do not exercise the primary function of the others (minister do not have legislative power). It however the interrelation between the organs serves as a check and balance mechanism, where it allows the organs to scrutinize the function of the other.”This in turn uphold the first conception of Dicey, which is to prevent arbitrary...

...Why was central planning abandoned in Eastern Europe and the USSR? Abstract “If a universal mind existed, of the kind that projected itself into the scientific fancy of Laplace – a mind that could register simultaneously all the processes of nature and society, that could measure the dynamics of their motion, that could forecast the results of their inter-reactions – such a mind, of course, could a priori draw up a faultless and exhaustive economic plan. The bureaucracy often imagines that just such a mind is at its disposal; that is why it so easily frees itself from the control of the market and of Soviet democracy.” Thesis statement The words of Leon Trotsky, said decades before the eventual demise of central planning, highlight the underlying flaw of the planned economic system; lack of information. The central planner’s realized that the information and signaling required for any modern economy could be found more effectively in a market based system and consequentially central planning was abandoned. The systemic failure of central planning due to poor information was most prevalent in Eastern Europe and the USSR, as evidenced by their economy’s productive inefficiencies, allocative inefficiencies and pricing difficulties. This essay will classify the traditional soviet economy and examine the production, allocation and pricing difficulties which caused its end. The Soviet Model Ericson describes the traditional soviet system as “one of centralized planning, implemented...

...Differentiation (2002) 69:154–157 C Blackwell Wissenschafts-Verlag 2002 COMMENTARY James A. Byrne ¡ John B. Gurdon Commentary on human cloning Introduction Human cloning refers to the production of genetically identical humans. This cloning is possible via either ‘‘embryo splitting’’ or ‘‘nuclear transfer’’. Embryo splitting involves the separation of an early human embryo into two or more parts. Each of these parts has the potential to develop into a blastocyst (late embryo), which, if implanted, can develop into a child. This is how genetically identical monozygotic twins are created. Artificial embryo splitting has been successfully implemented in various mammals including sheep (Willadsen, 1981), cows (Willadsen, 1989), mice (Agrawal and Polge, 1989) and monkeys (Chan et al., 2000), but has been performed only to the pre-implantation stages in humans (Hall et al., 1993). Recently the American Society for Reproductive Medicine declared that human cloning by artificial embryo splitting was an ethical procedure to increase the number of implantable human blastocysts used in certain infertility treatments (ASRM, 2000). However, embryo splitting can produce only a limited number of cloned individuals as the early embryo can be separated only a limited number of times, and the procedure is not able to produce a ‘‘clone’’ of an adult that already exists. The other method for producing cloned humans, nuclear transfer, does not suffer from these limitations, and the rest...
