...Respect, ability to listen, and responsibility are all factors of being mature. Maturity is not dependent on someone's age because it is a way a person acts, and the types of experiences a person has had during their lifetime. Maturity is a way a person acts. For example, if you have a thirty year old man, who thinks that everything is a joke, and messes around every single day, that he is not very mature. He would not be mature because he does not know how to behave, or how respect someone. You could also have a five year old boy who listens and respects everyone, yet he he would be more mature than the man because he does what he is supposed to, and takes things seriously. He also takes responsibility for his own actions. This shows that...

...Towards a Definition of Socio-Economic Research for the RESPECT Project A draft working paper by Ursula Huws, RESPECT Project Director Introduction The term ‘socio-economic research’ is in widespread use in the European Commission’s work programmes and elsewhere. In the Fourth Framework Programme, for instance, there was a programme entitled ‘Targeted Socio-Economic Research’ (TSER) and in the Fifth Framework Programme there were numerous calls for proposals to carry out socio-economic research related to Information Society Technologies (in the IST Programme) and to other issues of relevance to EU policy. At national level, there are also economic and social research funding councils in most European Countries. However, nowhere in this documentation, as far as I can tell, is any definition offered of ‘socio-economic research’. For the purposes of the RESPECT project, however, it is necessary to have some sort of functional definition. This short discussion paper is designed as the first step towards the development of such a definition. As the project develops, this definition will be tested in relation to the actual practices of socio-economic researchers, whose activities, qualifications and professional affiliations will be profiled as part of the project’s work. In the meantime, a brief survey of projects described as socioeconomic research projects indicates that they cover a very broad range in relation to the backgrounds and qualifications of...

...The Importance of Discipline and Respect The importance of discipline and respect Discipline and respect are important in life as well as in the army. Respect is one of the army’s seven values. The seven army values are loyalty, respect, duty, honor, selfless service, integrity, and personal courage. While respect is one of the army values, discipline is needed for all of them. You must have discipline in yourself in order to have selfless service, to do your duty, to have personal courage, as well as loyalty, and honor. And it takes a discipline to respect. The definition of discipline is 1. training to act in accordance with rules; drill: military discipline. 2. activity, exercise, or a regimen that develops or improves a skill; training: A daily stint at the typewriter is excellent discipline for a writer. 3. punishment inflicted by way of correction and training. 4. the rigor or training effect of experience, adversity, etc.: the harsh discipline of poverty. 5. behavior in accord with rules of conduct; behavior and order maintained by training and control: good discipline in an army. 6. a set or system of rules and regulations. 7. Ecclesiastical . the system of government regulating the practice of a church as distinguished from its doctrine. 8. an instrument of punishment, esp. a whip or scourge, used in the practice of self-mortification or as an instrument of chastisement in certain religious communities. 9. a branch of instruction or learning: the disciplines of history...

...a reconstructed identity from a ‘missionary who is teaching to gain access’ to a ‘global Christian professional language teacher’ has the potential to redress the concern raised while enhancing many of the benefits that can occur when teachers align their spiritual and professional identities” (p. 91, emphasis mine). I don’t think Mr. King will mind if we borrow his phrase one more time for application to this discussion of how Christian English language teachers integrate their spiritual identities and their pedagogy. To determine if we can get along, I will address issues that are foundations for the discussion. I will begin with a key definition that seems lacking and follow with my thoughts on the effectiveness of the contributions in Part I to the cause. To effectively begin any discussion, definitions should be established. Definitions are necessary to make sure that...

Some of the traits could be hair color, eye color, attached or detached earlobes, dimples, freckles, curly hair, left or right handedness, and hitchhiker’s thumb. After the students are finished collecting this data and still in groups, I would give them words like “diversity,” “culture,” “prejudice,” “respect,” and “acceptance” to define with their partners. When this is complete, the groups of students would share results with the rest of the class and we could make a table depicting all the different genetic traits and their prevalence. Then I...

...not the sole purpose of this paper; I will also be covering how this applies to everyone’s everyday lives, as my own personal definition of integrity and other values, as well as some examples of how integrity makes a squad stronger or a team in general. Why does integrity apply to everyone? First you must cover the book definition of the word. And integrity’s book definition is as follows, the quality of being honest and having strong moral principle, as read in the Oxford Living Dictionary. An example of this is being honest to others even if you know you will be getting in trouble for the action that put you into the situation. This is a simple way to show respect to the person you are speaking to, whether they be appointed over you or appointed under you. It is not just a one way street, if you cannot be...

...Organizational Behavior Richard Robinson MGT 5013 Organizational Behavior Dr. Robert Gulbro 17 July, 2013 Abraham Maslow’s Theory of Needs Abraham Harold Maslow was born in Brooklyn, NY. He later attended several colleges such as Cornell University, the University of Wisconsin and the City College of New York. He later went on to become a very well known psychologist. He was best known for his hierarchy of needs, this theory contains the following five human needs: Physiological, Safety and security, Belongingness, Esteem and Self-actualization. Physiological needs are the foundation of Maslow's hierarchy of needs and include survival needs such as the need for sleep, food, air, and reproduction (para 3). Before we can understand the physiological basis, we first must look at the cultural and nurture expressions of needs from the true fundamental of needs. And we will gain a good inside track into the way humans think. The importance of the physiological need is that we need oxygen to breathe and live. Just like we need water every day to wash clothes, dishes, take a shower and drink. We need food to eat and give us strength. My physiological needs were tested to the fullest. With the Benning phase (squad patrols), Dahlonega phase (mountains platoon patrols) and the Florida phase (swamp operations). First I needed to survive the grueling torture that my body would take over the next three months. In the first week of Ranger School we had to do the following: Monday...

...down the responsibilities of real estate developers / builders in respect to flats sold by them and conversely the rights of flat purchasers within the State. II. Important Definitions The MOFA lays down certain important definitions. 2.1 Flat The MOFA defines the term to mean: a) A separate and self-contained premises, b) Which is used or is intended to be used as a Residence, office, show-room, shop, godown, carrying on of any industry or business Including a garage. c ) And the premises forms part of a building. The term flat also includes an apartment. The Explanation to the definition provides that even if a separate bathing, washing, sanitary, etc. arrangement is made between two or more premises, they shall be deemed to be separate and self-contained. Thus, in order to be construed to be a flat, all the above ingredients must be fulfilled. This is an important definition because if a premises is not regarded as a flat the provisions of the MOFA do not apply. A common misconception is that the provisions of the MOFA only apply to residential premises. 2.2 Promoter The second most important definition is that of the term “promoter”. It is defined to mean a person: a) Who constructs or causes to be constructed. b) A block or building of flats or apartments. c) For selling all or any of them to a Company, Co-operative Society, Association of Persons .

There are numerous factors that need to be considered when it comes to a generations habits. Across the board respect is important, but how it is shown can differ.
