...on the potential benefits of forgiveness therapy. The authors, Lin et al, show interest in forgiveness therapy for inpatient substance-dependent clients and whether it will help to reduce anger, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, forgiveness, and vulnerability to drug use. Lin et al noticed that the level of anger and violence was higher in alcohol and other substance abusers in comparison to the general population, as recorded in previous studies. It is believed that certain triggers, anger and frustration, can cause relapse in both intrapersonal and interpersonal areas (Marlatt, 1985). Lin et al reviews previous study results based on the typical alcohol and drug therapy (Cognitive-Behavior therapy) where the participants are encouraged to be aware of their anger but not necessarily to decrease their anger or negative emotions. However, one study conducted by Reilly and Shopshire showed a decrease in levels of anger and an increase in anger control with a group of Pos -traumatic Stress disorder patients. The article refers to a group of researchers who have worked towards developing a new therapeutic approach to anger termed forgiveness therapy. They believe that unforgiveness can become problematic. The forgiveness therapy makes the recipients aware of forgiveness and not condoning of past injustices. The individual is given the choice to decide to forgive and learning the skills to forgive. According to the article, great results were found with this therapy of which...

...adapt with their environment and the stresses that go along with it (Park, 2014). From one generation to the next, there are specific aspects or traits of an organism that stay the same, and there are some that are constantly evolving. These changes can occur over billions of years and go unnoticed in short periods, but are significantly different in a lengthy time period. Discuss what a physical anthropologist may examine/investigate in order to study evolution (e.g. population DNA). One aspect of physical anthropology that examines and investigates the process of evolution would be Paleoanthropology. Paleoanthropologists are individuals who study extinct organisms or fossils. It’s important to understand that they are not searching for human ancestors but rather our biological and technological origins and evolution. (Middle Awash Project UC Berkley, 2015). There are several important aspects that are studied, such as reproduction, anatomy, and physiology of these individuals. Discuss ‘how’ a physical anthropologist would study your answer for Q3 and why it is helpful for studying evolution. A physical anthropologist would study...

...Israeli government decided that all settlements in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip would be abandoned, against the wishes of the settlers some of whom had been living there for over twenty years. In addition to the leadership styles topics of discussion will include three examples of leadership actions and behavior and the pros and cons of each example. A comparison and contrast will be made using three similarities and three differences and discuss how each would handle current issues in Israel today. Finally, the paper will take a look at the interrelationship of the Lt. Col’s., using the Jung theory and for personality traits and how each one of their leadership styles may hinder or enhance a complex military operation in the case study. Leadership-Lieutenant Colonel Yaron Lt.Col. Yaron had a Lateral Influencing leadership style, which can be described as “emphasizing teamwork, team building and decision making.”(Rowley) This style can be highlighted surrounding a presentation he gave to senior military officers. “One of the officers did not like what he heard, so he reacted by sending a lengthy email to a Brigadier General.”(Laufer) In trying to build the support of his peers Lt. Col. Yaron inadvertently alienated them. This occurred because his peers had not been made fully aware by their superiors the importance of the operation in advance. Had Lt.Col. Yaron been aware of his peers attitude in advance he would have made it more “determined and sensitive” as he...

...instead of relying on an often delayed response from a superior. This increases productivity and flexibility and helps an organization respond faster to opportunities in the environment. Teams also consist of employees from across several departments which allow them to work together more cohesively, increasing interdependence toward common goals. Teams have many more advantages over a tall organizational structure, but this essay will focus more on the types of team structures. The two types of teams here are virtual teams and face to face teams. This essay will compare and contrast the benefits received when interacting with these two mediums in a team environment. It will also highlight any shortfalls between the two forms of team structures. The first part of this essay will focus on virtual teams. Virtual Teams Wikipedia also terms a virtual team as a Geographically Dispersed Team (GDT) and defines it as a group of individuals who work across time, space, and organizational boundaries with links strengthened by webs of communication technology. They have complementary skills and are committed to a common purpose, have interdependent performance goals, and share an approach to work for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. Geographically dispersed teams allow organizations to hire and retain the best people regardless of location. Many virtual team members never meet face to...

...Scenarios planning is the main technique to study the future, and it have been used since long time by the government planners, corporate managers and military analysts, as important tool to help them in making decision to face the uncertainty. The idea of scenario planning is to establish about possible future where it can minimise surprises and broaden the span of managers. Today the scenarios planning they have become extremely popular. ( Chermack, T. J. 2003). Scenario planning is a group‐based decision making tool, which has its roots in post‐ WWII military planning and the petroleum industry of the 1970s such as Royal Dutch Company. Unlike its cousins, forecasting and prediction, scenario planning does not attempt to project future outcomes based on data from the past. These methods can often lead to “tunnel vision”, due to their preference of one outcome over another. Scenario planning, as described by Peter Schwartz, Chairman of Global Business Network (GBN), “…is a tool for better decision making…Business and governments employ this tool because it helps them to make better strategic decisions.” (Schlegel, G. L., & Murray, P. 2010) The History of Scenario Planning Scenario planning arose out of a need to plan for futures filled with much uncertainty. This uncertainty is particularly magnified in military operations, which is why scenario‐type planning can be traced back to 19‐century military ...

...TECHNOLOGY AND SMALL GROUPS Recent advances in new communication technologies are not only changing how small groups interact, but are also redefining our notion of a small group. Although some organizations have used technology such as telephones and videoconferencing for some time, those communication tools are costly. New technologies, particularly the Internet, allow for asynchronous and synchronous communication among small group members at relatively low cost. These technologies are altering small group membership, functions, and processes. Research on Technology and Small Group Communication Most research on the use of technology in small group work compares groups that use communication technologies (such as discussion boards and videoconferencing) to those that meet face-to-face. With the rapid changes in communication technology, many problems associated with groups that do not meet face-to-face have been reduced or eliminated. Still, groups that never meet face-to-face can encounter difficult challenges. And yet, not meeting face-to-face also has its advantages. New communication technologies can create new environments that produce more open, fluid, and dynamic small group environments. For example, recent research suggests that online discussions facilitate collaborative learning in the university classroom. One study found that students who are actively engaged in online discussion earned higher grades in large lecture class and felt that they learned more...

...What is employee involvement and why is it important. Give examples Employees are members of an organization. An organization is a group of people working together in a structured fashioned to achieve a set of goals. This therefore indicates that employee Involvement support all workers contributing to the goals and objectives of the organization. The workers views and decisions are critical in the planning and structuring of the organization. For any organization to be successful the workers must contribute positively to its goals and objectives. When employees are actively involved in the decision making process this brings job satisfaction. This is important because it improve production, encourage customers retention, loyalty or organization commitment of workers, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, perceived organization support , reduce absenteeism and turn over costs. Manager also plays a vital part of employee’s involvement; they need to establish a consistent approach with employee involvement. E.g establishes team within the organization to perform roles and responsibilities for workers (union delegate). They also need to have open door policy and can be trusted. e.g .workers perform better when they can communicate and confide in their manager. Manager should ensure that workers and themselves are trained to address issues in competitive world. Google was rated by fortune magazine as the best company to work with in 2007.

...exist reliable sources of information. In recent years, there has been an increase of connecting ideas of the transformation of fasts foods. Although some arguments claim the reason is one clause over the other, some will divert and stray off topic. They exert random facts to either make the claim reasonable or by overflowing them with sources that seems reliable from authoritative figures. Rabin article “Proximity to Fast Food a Factor in Student Obesity” goes to say: Ninth graders whose schools are within a block of a fast-food outlet are more likely to be obese than students whose schools are a quarter of a mile or more away, according to a study of millions of schoolchildren by economists at the University of California and Columbia University. (Rabin) The basis of proximity and obesity are non sequitur ideas. The field of study was limited and difficult to draw a conclusion because there is no reliable comprehensive connection. Researching related concepts such as types of foods, productions, and manufacture, connect with fast food resulting in student obesity are better. Although there is relevance to the idea of proximity...

...Are Controlled Clinical Trials Really Ethical? Case Study In 2009, two cousins, Thomas and Brandon were diagnosed with the same type of deadly skin cancer within a 2 month time frame of each other. To date, here is no cure for skin cancer and once diagnosed the average life expectancy is approximately 8 months. Current standard of care treatments are aimed at shrinking the tumors and prolonging life. Unfortunately, these standard of care treatments only work in a very small percentage of patients and are very toxic with terrible side effects. Thomas learned of a new Phase 3 clinical research trial sponsored by Roche with an unapproved yet promising drug. His doctor explained that in earlier trials, a majority of volunteer patients who took the wonder drug had seen a drastic reduction in the size of their tumors with very few side effects. The only way ill patients can get the drug is by participating in this trial. The trial is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) which means half of the volunteers will get the experimental drug while the other half will be treated with another standard of care treatment. The purpose of the standard or control arm is to allow researchers to compare the long term effects of the new drug to that of the current standard treatment and determine whether it actually shrinks tumors and prolong remissions. Participants have a 50/50 chance of being placed in either arm of the study. Arm assignments are random and cannot be changed. With limited options...

...Abstract: The article covers the results of a study guided on the conceptualization of leadership as an organizational quality. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the leadership demonstrated by employee, as well as leaders. In this research report, the current perspective on difference is general with leader-Member-Exchange Theory and the Classical Theory. The framework of future research on Leader-Member-Exchange theory and the classical model are discussed. Introduction: The study of leadership is not only from management literature, but also from real life. Most of the organizations follow fashionable ideas, theories, and concepts about adequate an effective leadership. The overall goal is to ensure that managers are important in determining management styles and guidelines. The leader is also responsible for setting strategy and creating a vision and mission for the future. Leadership is a competence to get workers interested to in their work (Truman n.d.). Effective leaders encourage and lead workers in the business organization (Bavelas A 1969). The study of this essay is to know how leadership works in the fruit manufacturing SPC Ardmona. First of all, leaders are able to influence business performance-orientation. In SPC Ardmona, the leader makes a complex management orientation for the business, even the managers are not able to manage efficiently under this system. The main reason for this is because the leaders are working in the...
