....4 Background………………………………………………………………….5 Research Methods ……………………………………………………....…..7 Interviews……………………………………………………………….……7 Results………………………………………………………………………..16 Discussion…………………………………………………………………….16 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………17 Work Cited…………………………………………………………………..18 Abstract My research paper will not be designed to solve a particular problem but instead to illuminate the enormity and insidious nature of ‘Corruption. Also to illustrate, by various examples how, trivial local issues of corruption are probably just r the tip of the iceberg. In other words, the problem is identify and discuss examples of ‘Corruption’ of varying sizes, importance to the local community and nation, and the media exposure of each. To begin my research, I sought to get a clear workable definition of ‘Corruption’ as evidenced by the three almost distinct definitions presented in the text...The research also involved interviews of community members. The third phase of my research involved reading and investigating what newspaper’s reported on ‘Corruption’; what writers and scholars from academia recorded; and what I could gleam from magazines and other periodicals. The Conclusions drawn are: - The minority voting population is very immature and should grow up and stop voting for candidates of color just because of their color. - Laws should be enacted to prevent convicted felons from running for public office. - Corruption will always exist...

What determines the positive or negative aspects of teleworking? There is, of course, no easy answer to this very complex question. The answers lie variously in the type of worker being managed, the respective roles of manager and subordinate, and perhaps most importantly, the managerial techniques employed when managing from a distance. This study is intended to...

...INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY Definition Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and behaviors. Psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases, and by many accounts it ultimately aims to benefit society. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist and can be classified as a social, behavioral, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that underlie certain cognitive functions and behaviors. Psychologists explore concepts such as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, phenomenology, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also directed towards understanding and solving problems in many different spheres of human activity. The majority of psychologists are involved in some kind of therapeutic role, practicing in clinical, counseling, or school settings. Many do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes and behavior, and typically work in university psychology departments or teach in other academic settings (e.g., medical schools, hospitals)....
