...Reflection on Worker and Working Upon reading Chapter 21 of How Can Managers Use The Strengths of People?, I was seriously doubtful of the existence of Theory Y and Theory X or its validity. Yet, I was glad that Maslow did state that same people react quite differently to different circumstances. That, it is not human nature but the structure of job and work that determines how people will act and what management will require. Also, it is the individual’s decision whether to acquire habit of achievement or defeat. I myself came to this point. When I was third year in high school, I have decided to become indolent and study less. Therefore, it was my choice to be removed from the honor roll but I am not immature. I just stop liking the idea of achieving high when I don’t see the usefulness of all the stress from it. I do get rewards from it but I get unsatisfied as time goes by. Before a Barbie doll would suffice, but as I grow old I wanted more than that. I am craving for ultra-books, tablets, and smart phones. An assumption applicable even in Economics wherein consumers always wanted more than what they pay for. So even if I get a 90, I expect a gift as if I got a 100. Human satisfaction escalates and coping up with it can be disastrous. Fear, on the other hand, is the product of threat and it does nothing to an individual except deterioration. A person with too much apprehension resists improvement resulting to immobility. Stick may be tolerable. But then at some point,...

...Because this hinders Sonja’s goal in seeking the truth (and consequently justice), she sues the town again to change the statute back to thirty years until public display. Despite a successful verdict in her favor, it is only when she brings TV reporters as witnesses that the archivist declares “thank god! The Zumtobel documents have reappeared” (Verhoeven). Outside of court challenges, Sonja faces additional obstacles that obstruct her from the truth including death threats, physical violence, and ostracisation from her community. However, the community abruptly changes their attitude in her favor and honor her efforts which Sonja challenges as a means to “silence [her] because [they’re] still afraid of what [she] might find out” (Verhoeven). Verhoeven’s nostalgia for honesty is represented in Sonja’s own journey in Pfilzing whose own efforts to reexamine his country’s participation in the war were hindered by the government and citizens. Though his films were important contributions to the New German Cinema movement and to German cinema, many...

...sensitivity to corporate wrongdoing, ethical leadership is the right focus to pursue as a worthwhile business strategy. It can safeguard your organization from making headlines for all the wrong reasons. A leadership team may be sincerely committed to fostering an ethics based culture. But awareness alone will not be sufficient to instill ethical behavior and practices across the organization. It requires consistent and conscious effort to impede an ethical perspective into day to day leadership and management behaviors. This essay presents a global perspective on a particular tribe of the human race. The question addressed is that of leadership. I have pondered on the paucity of quality leadership in the world at the present time. From reflections on different traditions, I came to believe that the answer was simple and ancient, yet perhaps more radical than old fashioned. Without ethics, rooted in a spiritual practice that entails meditation, there is no possibility of a leadership emerging that would rest on principles of integrity, compassion and awareness. The lack of leadership, truth and integrity in public life exist simply because the world is ignorant of its true nature. As ignorance can be remedied through education. I believe that people everywhere are searching, consciously or unconsciously , to experience this and to instinctively know that it is where their happiness lies. The striving is instructive, because it reveals that humanity's true nature is that of truth...

...Each service member has some form of character, and these values are meant to be a set of building blocks that help refine and define this character. During every soldiers careers they will face many obstacles, some of which will present ethical dilemmas which will leave them with two choices somewhere between right and wrong, and it is through these values that are designed to help during such hard choices. During the different experiences, soldiers bond together, and are what sets them apart from just being regular average Joe from the streets and a professional in the best military organization in the world. Also, orders are given out on a regular basis and sometimes they can be lawful or unlawful, these values help determine the correct actions to take. The same can be said for the officers appointed over others, their guidance and governance...

...Jewish Culture Although all people experience death, dying and bereavement in all cultures, everyone’s dying process is unique and different. Some people may think of dying as a physical process, but dying is an experience of the whole person and is influenced by a combination of physical, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors. Culture, identity and personal beliefs all have a profound impact on an individual’s choices in the context of dying process. Ethnicity, cultural differences, religion, personal beliefs, individual preferences and choices etc can all affect care needs and social practice at the end of life. People’s experiences of illness and death, as well as beliefs about the appropriate role of healers, are profoundly influenced by patient’s cultural background. This assignment will provide a brief discussion of the beliefs, customs and rituals associated with death, dying and the grieving process in the Jewish culture and discuss the associated theoretical principles of a grief and loss theorist named J. W. Worden. Also while discussing the challenges in applying this theory to the Jewish culture, in an acute care setting. Jewish cultural beliefs have developed a traditional system of mourning concerning death and burial. The Jewish community views deaths as an ending of life, rather than as a beginning of another. Jewish funeral and mourning rituals are centered around respect for the dead. The body is buried within 24-48 hours, so the soul can...

...barakatoh, Hello my fellow brothers and sisters. I have an issue that is tearing me apart. Not because it is a match for my love to islam, but rather the controversy around it. I am a practicing muslim, alhamdullillah. My wife is a reverted muslim, since she was 14 mashalla. My life revolves around what Islam says, as much as possible. During my teenage period I started to listen to classical music and to Heavy Metal. As i grew older i started choosing those bands that do not address any religion or abuse any belief. My defense was that they inflame the sense of energy and activity and the feeling that there is no mortal that could stop me from reaching any goal. I listen to songs that deal with brotherhood on the battle field, honor and loyalty, so some how they relate to the glory of the islamic battles word by word!! There are certain songs that have stories the same as the prophet's (pbuh) and every time I listen to them I get to remember the islamic fotohat. am I doing something wrong? if yes then where, how and why? jazakom allah khayran Salam | Assalamu Alikum warahmatullah, Dearest Brother in Islam, May Allah grant you the two-fold rewards, one for seeking knowledge and another for practicing the 'enjoyment' of doing good and forbidding evil. Regarding your question of listening to Heavy Metal and other hardcore musicals as they give you energy and remind you about events or issues that may relate to Islam. There are four elements...

...game of my senior year and knowing we were not going to make the playoffs and sitting in a locker next to Kyle Butz. He said something to me that I will never forget and why I will always look at a Moeller football jersey with pride, he said, “I don’t want to take my shoulder pads off because it could be the last time I will ever put on a Moeller jersey.” Then and there we hugged each other and I just lost it and never cried more than because I knew I put in all of this hard work for four years and it was all gone right there. Just thinking back football has had one of the biggest impacts if not the biggest impacts on my life and I am so sad to have said goodbye to it after this year. Going along with the sports aspect to my Moeller reflection a big part of what made the school better and what made Moeller a more enjoyable place was the Crusader Cavalry. The Cavalry was just alright my freshman through junior year but my senior year blew all of those other years out of the water. I give a huge shout out to Mr. Kuhlman, Logan Nelson, Dom DiCari, and Hoelker, who took so much time out of their day to rally up everyone through emails and pep rallies to try to get everyone to about every sporting event. I know that they got me excited to go to sporting events like soccer games, which I never went to one until this year and going to a lacrosse game once or twice this year. In my four years I have never seen our school care so much to going to sporting events like those when no one...

...Title: Effective Leadership Introduction: Leadership is "the conduct of an individual when he is guiding the activities of a group towards a collective goal". A leader is described as someone who sets supervision in an effort and influences people to pursue that direction. How they establish that direction and influence individuals depends on a variety of factors. Before I get started, let me characterize leadership according to all the books and academic journals I have read. Leadership is a course of action by which a person inspires others to accomplish a purpose and manages the organization in a way that makes it more systematic, coherent and run like an excellent tuned engine. Leaders carry out this practice by applying their leadership characteristics, such as vision, attitude, values, ethics, character, intelligence and skills. “Effective leaders rely more on personal power than on position power,” albeit your position in an organization as a manager, administrator, lead, etc. gives you the power by virtue of the position to accomplish specific tasks and objectives in the organization, this authority does not make you a leader...it merely makes you the person in charge by the position. Leadership varies in that it makes the followers want to accomplish high goals, rather than merely bossing or dictating people around. Leadership is said to be a whole lot and nothing. It is everything because it can be established at all levels in organizations, not just at the summit...

...The Storm before the calm Reflections of the life and times of Benjamin Vaughan Jr. In the third person Benjamin W. Vaughan Jr. Personal Leadership Development, October 31, 2015 He was a recently discharged Vietnam veteran who relocated to the big city to find work. She was a single mother working for the federal government trying to navigate through the mysterious maze of life. They met in our nation’s capital, a true dichotomy of politics and the underbelly of American society. On a temperate day on the last Saturday of October in 1974, the birth of the second son of the two working class residents of Park Morton would consummate a strong bond and this would become the first day of life for Benjamin Wesley Vaughan Jr (BV). In order to understand the man he is today, you must understand the boy he was; an above average student who underachieved yet found his way through life experience, luck and circumstance. The early years set the precedent for the next stage of maturation: the teenage – young adult years. The teens and early adult years resemble a budding flower which is overwhelmed by life’s challenges and influences, wilting away seeking sunlight. Adulthood begins with a hurricane of events that lead to a chance encounter that will change his life forever. By the end of this recollection, you will know where he is going because you will see where he has been. Benny Sr. and Bernadette...

...look was more realistic with a special attention to each brush stroke [ CITE FROM TEACHER’S BOOK). Albeit his paintings in both tempera and dry brush were considered realistic, when he painted; he did not pay attention to extreme details of highlights and shadows, instead; he painted impressions, memories of what he was depicting. The memories of his depictions were not loose; he studied his subjects intensely in order to capture in his memory the effects that nature was applying on his subject’s paintings. Snow melting, leaves moving and gray skies, the clouds, the color range of the rocks, and the texture of the sand, etc. were all held in his memory. All of this depicted first, with a pencil sketch on smooth paper and soon painted to block out shapes, give color, tonal and a balance range to the forms. He did not use traditional watercolor paper; instead he used smooth paper, which did not absorb the paint as swiftly as the traditional watercolor paper. The smooth paper allowed him to utilize his fingers and hands to manipulate the painting while wet to integrate detail and texture. When painting with watercolors, he worked with a fast passed style painting. First, he painted a general idea of the composition, then he captured impressions and details. Most of his paintings were created without the help of an easel to hold his paper, instead he used a cardboard to support the paper on which he painted. The cardboard allowed him to turn the paper ninety degrees when outdoors...
