...tiempo, fue considerada no apta para todos los ojos del público, y es por eso que fue retirada de las pantallas. Esta cinta fue vista tan horripilante debido a la interpretación de sus personajes, cada uno contando con una deformidad real. Se utilizó poco maquillaje a lo largo de la cinta y esto hace de ella algo muy interesante, ya que no se utilizan efectos especiales para crear esta realidad. A lo largo de la trama podemos ver las distintas deformidades de cada personaje. En ese tiempo tales deformidades no eran bien conocidas y como su nombre lo dice eran considerados fenómenos. El guión, escrita por Willis Goldbeck, Leon Gordon y Al Boasberg, basado en la cinta Espuelas, es una crítica a la discriminación que existía hacía la gente que contaba con diferentes características físicas como por ejemplo la mujer barbuda. Durante toda la trama estos escritores le dan un giro al guión de una Comedia y es como tratan de tapar lo espeluznante de la cinta. El montaje y la escenografía estuvo bien lograda, realizando cada camerino de acuerdo al personaje, creando diferentes tamaños de camerinos y muebles para adaptar a los enanos. Freaks, consta de un amplio reparto en donde cada personaje tiene una deformidad que con el tiempo les fue dando problemas con la sociedad. En la cinta, ellos tratan de ser vistos no como una burla sino como seres humanos y que son iguales a ellos, con los mismos sentimientos y debilidades....

...Summary Opinions about the consequences of happiness on work differ. There is no research on the effects of life-satisfaction on productivity but there is a lot of research on the link between job satisfaction and work performance. This research shows modestly positive correlations with productivity, absenteeism and labour turnover. These correlations tend to be stronger among white collar workers. It is still largely unclear to what extent satisfaction effects productivity or vice versa. See Scheme 1. There are different claims about the effect of happiness on productivity. Some think that the enjoyment of life will produce involvement and smooth interaction, thus boosting productivity. Others rather expect that happiness will reduce the motivation to seek improvement and make them passive and dull. There is no research on the effects of overall happiness or life-satisfaction on productivity. However, there is a lot of research on the relationship between job satisfaction and work performance. Job satisfaction is quite highly correlated with overall happiness, and can be looked at as one of its main components. Hence the results of the available research data are at least suggestive in this discussion. The Human Relations movement, of Elton Mayo and others, believed that job satisfaction had beneficial effects, including increased work performance (Argyle, 1988). Let us consider whether this is in fact the case. Do satisfied workers really work harder? If they do, is it because...

...Assignment 1: Literature critique An exploration of the impact of strategic international human resource management on firm performance: The case of Foreign MNCs in China By Chanzi Bao, Robert and UK Farhad Analoui, Robert Gordon University. 2011 Overview of the article’s content The paper reports the intensive competition arising from globalisation requiring MNCs to seek low cost, innovation, speed and adaptability and the need to manage their human resources globally and strategically in order to become a source of competitive advantage. The authors state that there is a need to manage human resources strategically so that they become source of sustained competitive advantage (Wright and McMahan, 1992; Boxall and Purcell, 2008). And that this has led to the evolution of strategic international human resource management (SIHRM), which not only acknowledge the need of balancing global integration and local responsiveness (Evans et al., 2002), but to seek strategic fit between HR policies and business strategy in order to achieve superior business performance. The researcher’s paper focus upon China with reference to foreign MNCs’ operations and the challenges faced from the dual pressure of balancing globalisation and localisation. Arguing that by combining the concept of SHRM with IHRM it identified a new research area of SIHRM which addressed the HRM issues and activities resulting from, and impacting on, the strategic activities and international concerns of MNC’s, that...

Sarah Jean Mount Elewononi discusses camp meetings as a method of growth for the Methodist church in New England. This article also discusses the ritual of camp meetings. The article will be useful in comparing the regional practices of camp meetings on the frontier, in the South, and in the North. Kimberley Marshall Jenkins wrote an article that provides a look at how camp meetings are used today in religion conversions. Timothy Osment's essay on camp meetings is useful in its look at the meetings' influences through certain times in American history, such as the post Civil War period when meetings were used to heal the American people. Guion Johnson's antebellum history recounts a scene from a camp meeting that provides an in-depth description of a preaching during a meeting and the emotions and fervor felt.

...Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction create the problem of low morale among the employees. Good motivation leads to high morale. It being a psychological concept, it is not easy to define it precisely. Different authorities have variously defined morale. Different definitions of morale can be classified into three major approaches. 1. Classical Approach 2. Psychological Approach 3. Social Approach. 1. CLASSICAL APPROACH Robert M. Guion defined morale as the degree to which individual needs are fulfilled and the degree to which an individual sees that fulfillment coming from add up to work fulfillment. As indicated by this approach, the fulfillment of basic needs is the symbols of morale. On the off chance that the essential needs of the representatives are satisfied their morale will be high. 2. PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH In the words of Jucious and Slender, “morale is a state of mind and emotions affecting willingness to work which in turn affects individual and organisational objectives”. According to this approach, morale is a psychological concept i.e., a state of mind. Emotions are affect the willingness to work which in turn affect individual and organisational objectives...

...the first people to leave their foot prints on the moon. On April 12th 1981, NASA developed a Space Transportation System, known as the Shuttle Program. The program was to send up spacecraft to make repairs on existing satellites. They would also bring damaged satellites back to Earth if they were to messed up to fix in space. A major job for the shuttles was to bring supplies and equipment to space stations. The first shuttle, Enterprise, was ready in 1977. It didn’t really work the way NASA wanted it to. In the next years, the shuttle program has launched more than twenty Shuttle mission. The Challenger flight in 1983, it carried the first American woman, Sally Ride, in space.

They wanted engineers to spend more time developing methods of how to make the shuttle safer. NASA waited 3 years to launch, it’s...
