...Personality Analysis: Dispositional and Learning Theories Analysis of personalities helps to give a better understanding for human behaviors and the process in which people learn. Theorists have worked for years discovering new theoretical approaches. Gordon Allport studied the personalities of individuals because that approach gave more definition to individuality and emphasized the uniqueness of the individual (Feist & Feist, 2009). Describing an individual with general traits only classifies people as a group. However, Allport believed to accurately know a person is by knowing the person as an individual. Individuality makes people different, no one person is the same; because people have different personalities the abilities to learn will be different too. Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory observes the manners in which people learn. Observational learning allows people to learn without performing actions or tasks (Feist & Feist, 2009). Basically people do learn from direct experiences but also learn from observing various tasks and actions by others. Most important the factors that give the answers to questions can be found through these forms of research and development. Dispositional Theories and Personalities Allport began his research of individual psychology by introducing his morphogenic science. Morphogenic science is the study of an individual, gathering information, and important data about the individual. Allport’s approach to personality theory...

...novel economist has to learn. Further on in his pursue of knowledge he is explained; In organizations conflict often revolves around common resources as they are critical for influence, power, performance and even organizational survival. A commons is a shared resource for which access to users is not restricted, and use of the resource subtracts from the other users’ benefit. As first introduced by Hardin in 1968 in his work “The tragedies of the commons”; the very existence of common resources surfaces a very different kind of a problem. When many people have the privilege to use a commons resource and no one user has the right to exclude another, not only is conflict likely, but tragedies of resource inefficiency and exhaustion emerge. Considering that a primary goal of any organization is to use resources effectively and efficiently to achieve its goals, conflict involving commons resources can pose a significant threat to an organization’s performance. To resolve (and even avoid) the tragedy of the commons, a pleura of solutions have been proposed by leading economists. One popular solution suggested by the property rights, territoriality, and social dilemmas literatures is privatization of the common resources. Broadly speaking, privatization. Theory behind privatization is set to encourage efficient and effective management of the commons because, economically, the user will incur not only just the benefits of the cost of its management, but also psychologically, the user...

...“Impossible is nothing” they have placed focus on the values they wanted their products to transmit and represent. This international company adapted itself to a trend that, in an occasion such as Olympic Games are, inevitably, sees in competition not only the athletes but also the brand they wear; it is a battle led through campaigns in various mass media. Focus of my analysis is placed on three TV commercials, videos each of which lasts 30 seconds. I find it necessary to describe them before proceeding with my analysis in order to provide a better insight in the material I will discuss and to present the way I saw and understood this campaign. Each of the videos has famous athletes as its protagonists and they are all made in the way that with digital trickery present day athletes are matched with champions from the past. First of them is Olympic champion Haile Geberlassie. In the video we find this Ethiopian athlete preparing himself for a surreal, 10 000 meters long race. He is surrounded with his clones, all dressed slightly different but all in Adidas. In the background we hear his voice talking in first person saying that despite all medals won and the records broken it is necessary and possible to always improve yourself and beat yourself one more time. The video closes with Adidas logo and the suffix “com” added to the name of the brand. In the second video of the campaign the role of main character is played by famous gymnast Nadia Comanci.

...adopted the shape of Economics. There are numerous definitions of Economics offered from time to time but there is no clear and concise definition. Keeping in view this situation J.M. Keynes has rightly, stated ―Political Economy is said to have strangled itself with definition.‖ However, Economics is considered to be a science as well as an art. Some of its features like, self corrective nature, systematic body of knowledge, own laws and theories, universal validity of its laws (law of demand, marginal utility, law of diminishing returns etc) support economics to be a science, but its other features like lack of predictability and lack of accurate observation and experimentation prevents the same. Moreover economics has some features in common with art i.e. the applicability of theories and principles into practical use. For this reason Marshall took out a midway and regarded economics as a science, pure and applied, rather than a science and an art. Relationship to other disciplines and approaches As used by lawyers and legal...

...grammar and vocabulary (Kalat, 2009). With linear reasoning, this simply gives an added advantage of numerical computation to the persons with the left brain part being dominant (angelfire, 2011). The difference in students’ ability to solve mathematical calculations is visible as students with dominant left hemisphere are associated with accurate and precise calculations when it comes to solving calculation issues (Paradiso, Bears & Connors, 2007). When it comes to numerical comparisons, and estimations, such students are also observed to have a higher hand in accuracy and exactness.In addition, where the left brain hemisphere is dominant, the student is characterized by better memory and retrieval of direct facts (angelfire, 2011).This means even in exams and tests based on curriculum, such people are in a better position to pass as they can fully and clearly understand instructions as well as retrieve what they have learnt easily and accurately (Paradiso, Bears & Connors, 2007). Talking of accurate calculations and estimates means better reasoning and number skills. Most of the time, such persons are good logical or sequential thinkers full of rationality.

...The neurofibromatoses (NF) are genetic disorders of the nervous system. At this time two distinct forms are known: NF1 and NF2. One baby in every four thousand is born in the United States with NF1. It is one of the most common genetic disorders, affecting some one hundred thousand americans. NF2 is less common and occurs in only one and every forty thousand births. In both forms of NF severity of symptoms vary greatly. The effects can be severely disabling, mildly disfiguring or can even go undetected. Several other names for this disorder have been used in the past but recent advancements in understanding the disorder made some of those terms obsolete. NF1 was previously known as peripheral neurofibromatosis, or von Recklinghouasen’s disease after the doctor who first described it in 1882. NF2 was called bilateral acoustic nuerofibromatosis, central neurofibromatosis, or vestibular schwannoma. NF is found in every racial and ethnic group throughout the world and affects both sexes equally. Both neurofibromatosis1 and neurofibromitosis2 are caused by abnormal genes. This disease cannot be "caught" from someone who has it already. . A common early sign of NF1 is six or more tan spots on the skin. They are called "cafe-au-lait" (French for "coffee with milk") spots. These spots are often present at birth, and may increase in size and number with age. They also may become darker. More than half of affected children have some signs ...
