...Difference between China and Sub-Saharan in economic growth and development This essay will try to analyse the difference between China and Sub- Saharan region countries on the economic growth and development issue from an overall view. In order to contrast the different development and growth methods between china and a whole Sub-Saharan region of countries, the essay will introduce the solow model in order to simplify the analysis, because in order to conduct a precise research, too many factors need to be controlled, so introducing a model which can simplify but not change the fact is appropriate. The basic assumptions of the solow model remain unchanged in this essay because the first assumption of constant returns will stand as both China and Sub- Saharan countries are economy which are large enough “that the gains from the specialization have been exhausted” (D. Romer (2011), "Advanced Macroeconomics", McGraw–Hill, New York, 1996.). The second assumption which neglects other impacts on the economy development will be discussed in the later paragraphs like policy, population, human capital and so on. Figure 1.

...curriculum. It is very beneficial and challenging. A research can be done to identify the benefits and the challenges using this age group of children. Children have certain rights that researchers need to take into consideration when collecting data. According to British Educational Research Education (BERA) guidelines (2011), all researchers have to comply with the Articles 3 and 12 of the United Nations Convention in the right of the children. Cresswell (2009), revealed that as researchers anticipate data collection, many ethical issues arise during the data collection through different methods like interviews and questioners. While collecting data, researchers should not put participants at risk. Hence, researchers need to have their research plan as per the BERA guidelines (2011), which promotes respect for all researchers and participants and those who use the research. Because BERA is always continuing with the best ethical practice and...

It begins by discussing adoption, contact and the meaning of these concepts. The key findings are then analysed and discussed in correlation to social work practice. From the literature analysed it would seem that direct contact has a positive impact on the challenges facing adopted children. These include, identity development,attachment development and reduced feelings of loss. Recommendation for future practice and research; although there is much to be learnt from research that has been carried out to date, simple formulas and rules cannot be applied; decisions made around contact require case by case assessment of the risks and benefits. Furthermore, long term, large scale research needs to be carried out to examine the effects of direct post adoption contact on children’s lives as they continue to develop and their needs...

...this paper, I have to make sure that I understand the difference between morals, values, and ethics. Values are something that we have learned from childhood. As a child we feed off the things our parents are doing as well as the influences of other adults surrounding us. Morals are believed to be the beliefs that we have developed based on the things that we value and how we feel that one should behave in any situation. Ethics is the way one behaves in a situation based on testing someone’s morals and values. Values are mainly established through childhood upbringing and then they are molded into citizen contribution to society. The environment where most values can be established includes home, church, school, one’s cultural background, neighbors and parties. I would have to say the values that I really up hold are integrity, openness, honesty, loyalty, respect and kindness. I guess I hold on to kindness the most because I believe in do until others as you want to be done until you, and I feel like it’s the right thing to do. Kindness also shows a sign of respect. When I think about integrity it is really a choice, which I have been rewarded for throughout the years. It encourages me to turn a negative situation into a good situation. When you have integrity u can use it at any given time. Honesty is takes on a whole know meaning, and it is kind of hard for people to rely on, but there will be no honesty without integrity. You can’t have one without the other. Openness is when...

Introduction In this paper, I am going to find out how the managers can have a better management by knowing more about employees’ personality? First of all, some key words need to be clearly defined. Personality is a person’s characteristics in psychological view which influence someone responds, communicates with people. Traits are some particular quality in person’s character and fundamental characters are parts which important to make up of personality. Consequently, we should know someone personality by beginning investigating and analyzing their basic traits. Then, we can have deeper understanding about those persons. Why we need to study personality when doing management? Personality is important psychological elements which influencing how staff act in an organization. “Managerial performance is largely composed of task completion and relationship building (e.g. Conway, 1999). Both of these performance dimensions have intuitive links to various attributes of persons, such as personality traits.” Which stated in a journal from American Psychological Association of applied psychology. This journal stated the how important knowing personality of employees in management. Measurement of personality Personality or personality traits theories are explained in many journal and publications. Then, I discuss about personality from two different theories, which are the humanistic approach...

We conclude that despite the proliferation of social science research on the consequences of globalization, there is no solid consensus in the relevant literatures on any of these questions. This is because scholars disagree about how to measure globalization and about how to draw causal inferences about its effects.

...Children are impressionable and share the characteristics of a sponge in a sense, by means of picking up a spill and letting it ooze out of their personality or behavior. Children imitate most of what they see and hear whether negative or positive. Imitating is learning and learning is form of development. Everyone and everything can influence the choices children make during childhood. The purpose of this paper is to investigate influences of childhood development. Development of any kind during childhood can have life altering factors. Some of those factors will include career development starting during early childhood, economic resources in child development, and socioeconomic status and child development. This investigation will demonstrate whether the influences are healthy or unhealthy development during childhood. Career Development during Childhood Parents and professional role models may influence children in their career choice. For example, if a parent is a doctor a child may find that exciting and want to follow the footsteps of the parent. Perhaps, the child learns how police officers and fire fighters give back to the community and want to do the same. Career development start during childhood and covers the course of life (Porfeli & Lee, 2012). Researchers show how an individual establishes a sense of vocational identity by learning the intellect of oneself by-passing the stereotype. As researchers investigate childhood, researcher learn that childhood task...

...One is understanding individual differences in particular personality characteristics, such as sociability or irritability. The other is understanding how the various parts of a person come together as a whole. A number of different theories have emerged to explain different aspects of personality. Some theories focus on explaining how personality develops while others are concerned with individual differences in personality. The following are just a few of the major theories of personality proposed by different psychologists: Behavioral Theories, Psychoanalytic Theories. This paper focus on the Big Five personality dimensions to explain childhood personality development. Big Five Personality theory described the personality in childhood and later in life as a set of variations across five primary dimensions identified by researchers: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness/intellect. Each bipolar factor (e.g., Extraversion vs. Introversion) summarizes several more specific facets (e.g., Sociability), which, in turn, subsume a large number of even more specific traits (e.g., talkative, outgoing) (Gosling, Rentfrow and Swann Jr, 2003). These basic factors can explain and predict individual differences over a wide range of settings, including mental health, job satisfaction, and work performance (van der Linden, te Nijenhuis and Bakker, 2010). Extraversion is the dimension of how you operate in the crowd and what energize you. Agreeableness is the...

...Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper analyzing the components of the psychoanalytic approach to personality. Your paper should cover the following areas: • Compare and contrast the psychoanalytic theories of Freud, Jung, and Adler. What are two characteristics of these theories with which you agree? What are two characteristics with which you disagree? • Describe the stages of Freud’s theory and explain characteristics of personality using these components. • Describe uses of at least three Freudian defense mechanisms with real-life examples. • Psychologists have broken down the human personality into five distinct categories; neuroticism, extraversion, openness, conscientiousness and agreeableness. The acronyms used to refer to these personality traits are "CANOE, OCEAN and NEOAC." Each personality has visible traits which sets them apart from each other. The characteristics of individuals are what make them unique and special. This is why there are no two people that are exactly the same. Although, some people do share some of the same characteristics, it does not mean that they share the same personality. This is often referred to as idiosyncrasy. Idiosyncrasy describes the unique mannerism, or behavioral that an individual displays. It is more like their personal "signature", because they are recognized or identified by the one special behavior or mannerism they display. • Friedman,Howard S. and Schustack, Miriam W.; Trait Aspects of Personality: Identity...

...Abstract Research in the field of psychology has led to the development of a number of different theories about how personality develops. Different schools of thought in psychology influence many of these theories. Psychologists seek to describe personality characteristics and to explain how personality develops. As psychologists seek to define personality, a theory of personality is developed. This research paper examines six major tenants that are fundamental to the development of a personality theory. First, research is provided to explore the tenants of nature versus nurture, the unconscious, and view of self. These tenants build the basis under a broad area of foundations of personality. Second, research is provided to examine the tenants of development, motivation, and maturation. As these tenants are studied, a view on the progression of personality is developed. A third aspect of this research is an investigation into Biblical principles of developing a personality theory. To explore the six major tenants of a personality theory, this research paper analyzes scholarly journal articles and scholarly books published from 2007 to 2014. The findings of this research are valuable in developing a theory of personality that includes important Biblical integration. A Theory of Personality How is a theory of personality developed? Psychologists have long studied the development of human personality. The debate of “What influences the things people...

Pervin and O.P. John (Eds.), Handbook of personality: Theory and research (2nd ed.). New York: Guilford (in press). 2 Taxonomy is always a contentious issue because the world does not come to us in neat little packages (S. J. Gould, 1981, p. 158). Personality has been conceptualized from a variety of theoretical perspectives, and at various levels of abstraction or breadth (John, Hampson, & Goldberg, 1991; McAdams, 1995). Each of these levels has made unique contributions to our understanding of individual differences in behavior and experience. However, the number of personality traits, and scales designed to measure them, escalated without an end in sight (Goldberg, 1971). Researchers, as well as practitioners in the field of personality assessment, were faced with a bewildering array of personality scales from which to choose, with little guidance and no overall rationale at hand. What made matters worse was that scales with the same name often measure concepts that are not the same, and scales with different...

Looking at the four management functions (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling) and how the functions are affected by internal and external factors. An explanation of how globalization, technology, innovation, diversity, and ethics affect the four management functions will are discussed. Lastly how managers at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital use delegation to manage each function (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling). As well as how each factor (globalization, technology, innovation, diversity, and ethics) is affected managerial delegation. External/Internal Factors This paper is based on the St Jude’s Children Research Hospital. St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital was started in 1962 by founder Danny Thomas. Thomas’s goals were to change the lives of all the children that would walk through the hospital doors. He created a hospital that specialized in research and treatment of catastrophic diseases and illnesses. It was not until 2005 that St Jude’s added on a massive expansion that heightened the hospitals efforts to find cures, treatments, vaccines, and rehabilitation for children. This paper will include an explanation of how internal and external factors affect the four functions of management, and how management uses...

...Personality Paper Michelle Rine Luna Essentials of Psychology PSY/211 July 9, 2014 Dr. Pierre Edvrard Pharel While people are growing up, they begin to change throughout each different chapter of their lives. This is known as developmental psychology. Some developmental phases would be, prenatal development, development during infancy and childhood and adolescent development. During these phases, something that becomes more pronounced is a person's personality. Personality is known as a unique and relatively consistent pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaving. When researchers began to study personality they came up with different perspectives or personality theories, which are attempts to describe and explain the way people feel, think and behave. These perspectives are better known as psychoanalytic, humanistic, social-cognitive and trait perspective. First of all, personality grows while humans begin to grow. Through life experiences and phases the individual is molded. The first phase of life would be the prenatal, which is when a baby is being created inside the womb. This phase is divided into three stages: germinal, the first two weeks, embryonic, begins on week three until week eight and lastly, fetal, which is from week nine until birth. After this phase comes development during infancy and childhood. By this time a baby gains certain reflexes that are triggered, like, for example, when a baby is hungry. Also during this time, the child is developing physically...
