...Fulton Some would say that I’ve had a “picture perfect childhood.” I have never lost a close loved one, seen someone go through a hard time, gone through one myself, had a family accident, or had some big traumatic thing happen. For the most part I was a privileged child who got to do a lot of things most kids couldn’t. It’s hard for me to console people when something bad happens to them because I just don’t know what to tell them because I have never been through something like this. Instead I am going to tell how a happy thing had impacted my life in a very positive way and helped me understand what kinds of people go through these things everyday. How MASC student council changed my outlook on life. I have been to camp two times. The first time I went it was the summer going into my freshman year. I thought that I knew what to expect, turns out I was wrong. I was out in council C. This was full of kids my age and a year younger than me. Everyone was so warm and welcoming I...

...April J. LaytonPsychology Branz Narcissistic Personality Disorder Overview of the study Narcissistic Personality Disorder, NPD, in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders- Fourth Edition describes that the foundation “lack of empathy” in NPD is entirely based on clinical observation and expert consensus. However, a similar apprehension and empirical, or publicly observed, evaluation of the criterion “lack of empathy” in this disorder are inadequate, making the intent in this study was to empirically determine compassion in patients with narcissism according to the DSM-IV. This disorder is a severe mental disorder with popular rates of up to 6% in general population, unrelenting functional impairment, and high suicide rates. This disorder was established as an individual foundation, criterion 8, in the DSM-III-R (1994), which explains the “inability to recognize and experience how others feel”. It was also affirmed in the DSM-IV and the DSM-IV-TR as criterion seven. More studies that have been based on the DSM-IV also uncovered low diagnostic accuracy of the criterion “lack of empathy”. The hypothesis is: the discrepancy is due to the fact that no theoretical constitute influences the NPD criterion “lack of empathy” in the DSM (1983), and so its assessment may be destitute. Participants Recruited were 47 inpatients that had been diagnosed with NPD by the Department of Psychiatry, Charité — Universitätsmedizin Berlin and contributing German...

...Mariah Schult 4/27/16 BSRI Test Both Fem & Masc Results The Bem Sex-Role Inventory was a very interesting examination of analyzing traits, behaviors, characteristics, tendencies, interests, and skills. I found that the questions were basic however not realizing the qualities in question were exactly male and female. My results were interesting in themselves, I scored 66 percent masculine and 70 percent feminine and 73 percent androgynous. Surprisingly getting high scores on the Bem Sex-Role Inventory test I realize that my feminine and masculine qualities, tendencies, and behaviors tend to differentiate throughout my life depending on situations I am in. For example I am neutral when it comes to deciding whether or not I am a dominant person since I typically don’t like to be controlled although I realize that control helps me be in line and brings out more positive effects in my life. It is hard to tell whether or not I am dominant although I do tend to be the more dominant person in the relationship at times, whether with friends or intimate relationships as well. Comparing to my results and the more androgynous score that I received I feel it related to who I am and how I feel about my personal sex or gender in the sense that at times I feel I am both masculine and majority feminine by nature, creating a sense of androgynous within my personality. With the categorization I was placed in from this Bem Sex-Role Inventory test I would agree with the results that I...

We adopt five cultural dimensions – collectivism/ individualism (CI), masculinity/femininity (MASC), power distance (PD), uncertainty avoidance (UA) and fatalism (FT), and relate them to two types of leadership perception modes – recognition-based and inference-based processes, and perceived leadership effectiveness....

...communication skills and learned the importance of making someone's day. On top of gaining clinical experience, I acquired a different outlook on life. As I left Sutton behind for my new school, the most important advice I received was from my eighth grade science teacher: “Make sure you join BVT’s Student Council”. Joining BVT's Student council was one of the best decisions of my life thus far. If I went to high school at Sutton I would have never had the confidence to join student council at the school and statewide level I have at BVT. Through this organization, I have had the chance to meet amazing people around BVT through school meetings. One step further, I got to create lifelong friendships with people around the state at the MASC Leadership Camp. By the end of the summer after freshman year, I found myself with an increased amount of love and spirit for my school. I learned the importance of leadership, having fun, and communication. Stepping out of my comfort zone is probably one of the most valuable things that I have done with the help of student council. It has truly changed me as a person with the way that I present myself and help others. Although it has only been one year of being a Valley Tech Beaver, I am eternally grateful for what this journey has done for me so far. I can already see that these will be the happiest years of my life and I would not want to be going to school any other place. Who knew that when I opened that one little white envelope...

...Julianne Un Après-midi Au M’cdo Au restaurant c’est bondé. Je peux sentir la sueur d’un homme devant moi. La salle est rectangulaire avec beaucoup de tables rondes et petites chaises crème. Il y a quatre grandes télévisions noires sur les murs. Trois jeunes filles sont derrière le comptoir. Elles portent un grand t-shirt bleu avec le pantalon noire. Une des jeunes filles est trop guillerette. L’air sent les frites et les hamburgers. Je commande des frites. Quand je reçois mes frites j’assieds à une table. Je peux voir l’arc d’or par la fenêtre. J’ai froid parce que c’est hiver et la fenêtre est froide. À côté de moi il y a un homme avec sa petite fille. L’homme a le rides sur la figure. Les cheveux sont la couleur d’une pièce de cinq cents. La fille a une petite fleur bleu-clair dans les cheveux. Elle est très mignonne, mais elle crie parce qu’elle a laissé tomber sa glace par terre. Je reste mon coude sur la table et la table est poisseux. Derrière moi il y a deux jeunes hommes. Un homme aux cheveux châtain et un autre aux cheveux chocolat. Ils parlent d’une émission de télévision qui s’appelle « Jersey Shore. » Ils rient bruyamment. Je touche mes frites et elles sont grasse. J’utilise une serviette fauve pour nettoyer les mains, mais ce ne marche pas bien. Je décide aller au toilette. Le toillette n’est pas propre. Il y a le papier hygiénique par terre. La terre verte est moche. Les murs ivoire ont le dessin de grandes villes différentes. Je me lave les mains avec l’eau...

...Chapter 2 Worldwide accounting diversity Chapter Outline I. Considerable differences exist across countries in the accounting treatment of many items. These differences can result in significantly different amounts being reported in the financial statements prepared by companies using different GAAP. II. A variety of factors influence a country’s accounting system. A. Legal system – in code law countries, accounting rules tend to be legislated; common law countries tend to have a non-legislative organization that develops accounting standards. B. Taxation – financial statements serve as the basis for taxation in many countries. In those countries with a close linkage between accounting and taxation, accounting practice tends to be more conservative so as to reduce the amount of income subject to taxation. C. Providers of financing – in those countries in which family members, banks, and the government are the major providers of business finance, there tends to be less demand for public accountability and information disclosure. In countries where shareholders are a major provider of financing, the demand for information made available outside the company becomes greater. D. Inflation – countries with chronic high inflation adopt accounting principles in which traditional historical cost accounting is abandoned in favor of inflation adjusted figures. E. Political and economic ties – through previous colonization, a British style of accounting...
