...Five Conflict Management Styles Here are the five conflict management styles according to Thomas, K.W., and R.H. Kilmann: Accommodating – This is when you cooperate to a high-degree, and it may be at your own expense, and actually work against your own goals, objectives, and desired outcomes. This approach is effective when the other party is the expert or has a better solution. It can also be effective for preserving future relations with the other party. 1. Avoiding - This is when you simply avoid the issue. You aren’t helping the other party reach their goals, and you aren’t assertively pursuing your own. This works when the issue is trivial or when you have no chance of winning. It can also be effective when the issue would be very costly. It’s also very effective when the atmosphere is emotionally charged and you need to create some space. Sometimes issues will resolve themselves, but “hope is not a strategy”, and, in general, avoiding is not a good long term strategy. 2. Collaborating – This is where you partner or pair up with the other party to achieve both of your goals. This is how you break free of the “win-lose” paradigm and seek the “win-win.” This can be effective for complex scenarios where you need to find a novel solution. This can also mean re-framing the challenge to create a bigger space and room for everybody’s ideas. The downside is that it requires a high-degree of trust and reaching a consensus can require a lot of time and effort...

...family members and/or loved ones that have a drinking problem. So what should they do to get help? There are many different abstinence programs; Alcoholics Anonymous, also known as AA, is one of the programs. An analysis of the AA program reveals that the program can be very effective, but only if the alcoholic wants help and gets the help they need. AA celebrated their 76th anniversary this year. They counted two million members participating in 115,000 groups worldwide, half of them in the U.S. AA started its first meeting in Akron, Ohio, in 1935. Bill Wilson, a businessman, and Bob Smith, a physician, started the association. They were both alcoholics. Bill Wilson achieved sobriety mainly through his association with a Christian movement. Smith was inspired by Wilson, and also stopped drinking (Does Alcoholics Anonymous Work 1). They were determined to help other alcoholics, so the men published “The Big Book”. “The Big Book” explained their philosophy, methods, and principles. One method that became very famous, and still is famous, is the 12-step method. The 12 steps are what a recovering person must go through initially and repeat in order for the process to work. For newcomers, the steps are often grouped into three major categories: trust God, clean house, and help others (Does Alcoholics Anonymous Work 1). The 12-steps is about one getting honest with oneself, accepting responsibilities, understanding character defects, making amends and restitution for harms...

Attackers wanting to take advantage of client-side vulnerabilities no longer need to actively compromise specific networks to gain access to those computers. Instead, they can focus on attacking and compromising websites to mount additional, client-side attacks. Data breaches that could lead to identity theft, by sector - the danger of data breaches is of particular importance for organizations that store and manage large amounts of personal information. not only can compromises that result in the loss of personal data undermine customer and institutional confidence, result in costly damage to an organization’s reputation, and result in identity theft that may be costly for individuals to recover from, they can also be financially debilitating to organizations. Bot-infected computers - Bots allow for a wide range of functionality and most can be updated to assume increased functionality by downloading new code and features.

...Happiness Simple things like a sight of an ice cream, the feel of your soft pillows, and the taste of marshmallows can make a person happy but people often desire more things that they can’t easily acquire. They desire love, all the money in the world or maybe winning a Nobel prize. Some people just maybe want to have a good job, and a good family. Individuals will go through all sorts of things just to get what they want. Without knowing, some people sacrifice something in order to achieve the happiness they sought for. The short film, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog suggests that an individual can inadvertently sacrifice something in order to achieve their own happiness. Happiness to every person is different. Each person desires something completely different from another individual. In the short film, Dr. Horrible’s wishes to get into the Evil League of Evil and maybe ruling the world with the girl he’s infatuated with, Penny. In the song “Freeze Ray”, Dr. Horrible mentioned in the lyrics that: That's the plan. Rule the world.You and me. Any day. It seems that Dr. Horrible wants Penny by his side when he finally rule the world. He pursued those happiness as he made the weapon called Freeze Ray. To get into the Evil League of Evil he must do something ‘villainous’. His first plan whoever failed and Bad Horse demanded him to murder someone. Under some circumstances, Penny took fond of Captain Hammer. I would like to draw your attention that Captain Hammer is the nemesis of...

The importance is to remember that the watches were failing three tests on a constant basis. It is important as stakeholders within the organization to make sure the machinery is not the responsible for the failures of the three industry test. The budget for upgrade is $500,000. Listening to the views of the head of departments the important machinery to work with is upgrading the timing machine, upgrading the poising machine, and buying movement holders. The posing machine is important because it is used to poise the balancing wheel. Poising determines the accuracy of the movement in different positions.

...were becoming a big movement. The Temperance Movement (the effort to enforce abstinence upon the moderation of the consumption of intoxicating liquors), was also finding its way into act after World War 1. Both of these were major movements. Women used the Temperance Movements to gain a voice in the country. This began the Prohibition Era in the United States of America. After the contribution of women in World War 1, women felt they should have the right to have a voice in their country. Since women had few legal rights, they wanted to build off of being too reliant with their husbands, which lead to the Women’s Rights Movement. Not being able to be self-reliant and not being able to rely on overly intoxicated husbands; Women joined the Temperance Movements to bring a halt against drunken abusive husbands. The Temperance Movement didn’t only grasp the attention of women, but many other groups across the country. From the Anti-Saloon League to the Temperance league and even women groups like the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. Some contributors like the Anti-Saloon League that were well organized had branches across the United States. Branches that worked in churches to marshal resources for the prohibition fight. These groups also forced the closing of many saloons. In conclusion, this was only the beginning of the Prohibition Era in America. Although purifying some states/cities the groups now face greater problems. Since the Temperance Movements began to work successfully...

...While concern over the excessive consumption of alcohol has been around since the American colonial era, it wasn’t until the nineteenth century that the temperance movement truly began to make headway. By the 1840s the temperance societies were actively encouraging individuals to refrain from consuming alcohol, hoping to reduce alcohol consumption within the United States. At first, the temperance movement simply pushed moderation, but after several decades, the movement decided to instead seek the complete prohibition of alcohol consumption. Three major players in the temperance movement were the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, founded in 1874, the Prohibition Party, organized in 1859, and the Anti-Saloon League, formed in 1895. In the years leading up to World War I,...

...The Drunkard “The Drunkard” is a play written by William H. Smith and was first performed in 1844. This play centers around the characters of Edward Middleton, his wife, Mary Middleton, his half-brother William Dowton, William’s crazy sister Agnes, and an old lawyer named Cribbs. The setting for the first two acts is a picturesque countryside. From the start, it is understood that Cribbs is a malicious, evil man out to ruin Edward and get his fortune. Edward and Mary wed in the beginning of the play, and have a daughter, Julia by the second act. William, who lived with Edward when he was still single, sort of works for Edward and thinks the world of him. He is a good friend to Edward in every situation the play brings about. As the play progresses, we see that Edward is the “drunkard”, who does not go to church on Sundays, but gets into brawls at local bars instead. He comes home one day in a drunken state to find out that his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wilson, (Mary’s mother), has died. In his drunken stupor, he storms out of the house with Mary, his daughter and William all begging him to stay. He is both disgusted by himself and his alcoholism, but yet unable to prevent or stop fulfilling his cravings for brandy. The third and fourth acts take place in New York City where we find out that Edward has squandered what was left of his fortune, and is living on the streets begging for money for alcohol. Mary and Julia have moved to New York in hope of finding him, and also live...
