...Dweck Vs Gladwell Mind-Sets and Equitable Education By: Carol Dweck and The Matthew Effect Outliers By: Malcom Gladwell are texts that have two different meanings but they argue the same theme of success. The general idea of Mindset is that an individual can reach success if their mind is right. Dweck beliefs impact student’s motivation to learn and their willingness to expand the effort necessary to succeed. The general idea of Outliers is success occurs to those under special circumstances. Gladwell points out that there is something profoundly wrong with the way we make sense of success.

...In my opinion, according to our discussions and analysis of oppression, I think oppression is mostly occurred to those who lived in poverty, low finances, and poor background of education. In fact, this is what hinders people's potential of achieving their goals and the pursuit of happiness. In addition, these impacts will also make it difficult for these people to see themselves as a member of a society that is wealthy. In this case, when a person had or lived in situations like these they are far more likely to experience hardships and difficulties in life. On top of this, oppression will more likely to overcome an individual mindset, which comes from having a growth mindset to a fixed mindset. In other words oppression defines the person who’s being oppressed instead of the person overcoming the oppression. I think the best way to overcome oppression, is to have the right mindset. Even though we come from different backgrounds and different situations we face, we are letting our negative thoughts stop us from doing what's best for us. According to Stefanie...

Pinder Faculty of Business, University of Victoria, British Columbia V8W 2Y2; email: cpinder@uvic.ca Key Words needs, values, goals, affect, behavior ■ Abstract In the first Annual Review of Psychology chapter since 1977 devoted exclusively to work motivation, we examine progress made in theory and research on needs, traits, values, cognition, and affect as well as three bodies of literature dealing with the context of motivation: national culture, job design, and models of person-environment fit. We focus primarily on work reported between 1993 and 2003, concluding that goal-setting, social cognitive, and organizational justice theories are the three most important approaches to work motivation to appear in the last 30 years. We reach 10 generally positive conclusions regarding predicting, understanding, and influencing work motivation in the new millennium.

...advent of the knowledge economy, new generations entering the workforce and the need for businesses to become more strategic and competitive, which implies new ways of managing human capital. Furthermore, talent management is motivated by the fact that it has been found to lead to higher corporate profits when it is connected to the corporate strategy. The research method in this thesis is qualitative, and based on a case study of an organization in Norway active in the oil and gas industry, where qualitative semi-structured interviews have been performed. Moreover, the findings are compared to a set of industrial companies located in Sweden, which are similar in size to the case company and have similar needs for technical competence. The analysis of the empirical material in conjunction with the literature leads to our suggestions that there is a need for connecting the HRM practices with the corporate strategy, that...

...THE NERVOUS SYSTEM The nervous system allows the animal to quickly detect, communicate and co-ordinate information about its external and internal environment so it can make efficient appropriate responses for survival and/or reproduction. The two major parts of our nervous system are the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS is made of the brain and spinal cord. The cranial nerves, spinal nerves and ganglia make up the PNS. The cranial nerves connect to the brain. The cranial and spinal nerves contain the axons (fibres) of sensory and motor nerve cells. Nerve cells areas are also known as neurons. Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. They carry information or impulses as electrical signals from one place to another in the body. There are 3 types of neurons: Sensory Neurons- Sensory neurons carry electrical signals (impulses) from receptors or sense organs to the CNS. Sensory neurons are also called afferent neurons. The cell body of sensory neurons is outside the CNS in ganglia. Motor Neurons- Motor Neurons Carry Impulses From The CNS To Effector Organs Motor Neurons Are Also Called Efferent Neurons. The Cell Bodies Of Motor Neurons Are Inside The CNS. Interneurons- These are also called intermediate, relay, or associative neurons. They carry information between sensory and motor neurons. They are found in the CNS. TOP The Structure of Neurons A Neuron consists of THREE MAIN PARTS: A. CELL...
