...incredible personalities thought of these single extraordinary thoughts and the world was never the same again. We also learn that these individuals held the sole obligation of changing the world. This attitude toward history is considered to be epic in light of the fact that incredible researchers are given a huge measure of acknowledgment for their discoveries. The personality position is also called the "Extraordinary Man" theory (Jones, 2011, p. 67). The naturalistic position communicates one's perspective as to the way of "reality". It is the view that this present reality in the real world is made up of elements which are interrelated to the point that one section definitely impacts alternate parts. To comprehend this present reality, the parts can't be separated however; the parts must be inspected in the context of the world. It is basically a logical phenomenon separated from a consistent positivistic perspective of the truth of world. It alludes to the request that utilize immediate contact in the middle of investigators and performers in the circumstances as a method of gathering information. It obliges the utilization of new techniques to plan the study instead of using the earlier detail, create information classifications from examination of the information after gathering and don't endeavor to sum up the discoveries. The zeitgeist in general refers to social, learned, ethnical, spiritual or political atmosphere in a country or in a particular group,...

...An Act that is Lowering Moral The No Child Left behind Act (NCLB) was put into effect by George W. Bush in 2001. The purpose of this act is to improve education and allow for all children to have equal opportunity to advance in their careers post high school. Early in this transgression there are several negative consequences already. The creators incorporate too many regulations, which cause inefficiency and counter-productiveness. Improvement is based on standardized tests that cannot measure intelligence wholly. Treating children as if they learn at the same rate does not help all students use their critical thinking skills. The act aims to close the achievement gap and allows for “no child to be left behind”, but it is not simply a one size fits all ordeal. Everyone has different experiences of learning at their fullest potential. America is failing with this provision and it will greatly affect the future of the country. Every state is directly involved with the make-up of the test; in which case some states make their exams significantly easier. The NCLB founders are advocates for transporting children who reach qualifying test exams to different schools with hopes of better teachers. Students that are better test takers get the opportunity to have free transportation to non-failing schools, but they are not supporting their local communities. Legislation is overbearing in their influence with this act and it affects the amount of resources spent on limited subjects and...

...Q1 Greatest Leader A) One of the greatest leaders that have inspired myself, the world and other leaders has been Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948). He became a great leader through using the concepts of love and truth to achieve his goals. Gandhi was a leader that challenged the most powerful nations by using peace, love, integrity as his method of change. He used the principle of non-violence protest to achieve political and social progress was powerful. Gandhi was influenced by Hinduism as well as Jainism and Christianity but also by great writers such as Tolstoy and Thoreau. He developed the belief of Satyagraha, a new non-violent way to restore wrongs. This was well demonstrated in the Salt March in 1930, where Gandhi and others were beaten, arrested and killed but no one fought back. Here his use to leadership behaviour was clearly illustrated. (Kouzes and Posner) Another example was he believed that Britain has a conscience that could appeal to, he used the teaching of the New Testament, “ one who enters into no dispute with his neighbor, he either attacks nor uses violence. On the contrary, he suffers himself without resistance and by his attitude towards evil not only sets himself free but helps to free the world at large from all outward authority.” This was Tolstoy’s version of a Christian man in his book, The Kingdom of God is within you, using this Gandhi fought for independence for India. Gandhi exemplified a number of characteristics of a great leader, he made...

...Effectiveness of Corporate Social Responsible practices handled in the petroleum industry in Bangladesh: A case study of Shell By Delwar 2014 Dissertation submitted to Anglia Ruskin University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Masters Programme Abstract The research issue is that multinational organisations in the petroleum industry such as Shell and British Petroleum are being pressurised by their stakeholders to take responsibility for their business activities. In view of stakeholder pressure, companies have developed and implemented CSR policies and practices. However, the effectiveness of these CSR policies and practices is questionable as the effects of companies activities have negatively impacted the lives of their stakeholders and continue to do so (Amao, 2013). There is extensive research being carried out on understanding the effectiveness of multinationals CSR practices as there exists a wide gap between what companies are saying and what they are actually doing. Practising CSR makes companies responsible for looking after the needs of their stakeholders, makes companies take steps to protect the environment, improve people's livelihoods, motivates employees and increases organisations' effectiveness and efficiency. Multinational state they are practising CSR. Yet their activities have caused much harm to stakeholders. Shell's activities in Nigeria have caused severe health risk to families’ drinking water...
