It includes the ability to recognize how we react to cues in the environment and how our emotions affect our way of relating to others. Social work is a profession that is founded on the ability to cultivate positive relationships with people who may be very different from us. There may be differences in age, race, personality, gender, socioeconomic status, health, sexual orientation, rank, power, and privilege, as well as beliefs regarding religion and politics. The experience of these differences can cause a social worker to feel emotionally and cognitively disturbed. The ability to...

...Physical Education Assignment # 2 Name: Assignment #:2 S/C: Title: Sociology of Sport Due date: Teacher: Introduction Sociology is the study of human behavior and social interactions within particular contents. Sports sociology examines sports as a part of cultural and social life, and adds a different dimension and perspective to the study of sports and exercise. More specifically, sports sociology examines the relationship between sports and society and seeks answers to many issues and questions regarding sports and culture. Sports are a pervasive part of culture and are considered to be social constructions within society created by groups of individuals and based on values, interests, needs, and resources. Sport forms are created by groups of individuals. Each culture creates and uses sports for its own purposes; therefore, sports take different forms from culture to culture. It is only since 1970 that sports sociology has gained significant attention as a serious area of study. This is in part owing to the increasing major role sports play in our lives and the intellectual traditions in both physical education and sociology. In 1978, the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport was organized as a professional association; and its scholarly outlet for research, the Sociology of Sport Journal, was established in 1984. The International Committee for Sociology of Sport is acknowledged within the International Sociological Association, and both groups...

...PERSONAL REFLECTION JOURNAL BACC7161/4135 The goal of teaching a course that pertains to values, ethics, social justice can be realized by getting students to reflect on who they are, what theirr values happen to be, and how they compare with the values of business and accounting professions. One can learn about rules and regulations but acting according to them or even challenging them at times depends on your personality and intellect. This is the reason for including this assignment as a part of the course requirements. This assignment is driven by a desire to make students be more reflective, about the material taught in the course and about themselves. As described by a wise person: an unexamined life is not likely to be worthwhile! Since accounting is not so much about counting as it is about accountability, it is important to not limit it to just the “generally accepted accounting principles,” but also to understand how those principles are implemented and how they impact global commerce as well as human lives for better or worse. This part of the course is largely modeled on a model used at St Thomas University in St, Paul, MN. They in turn have relied on other traditions such as Jesuit Examen that seek to use self-reflection as a major instrument in the development of one’s person and identity. I am also uploading an example of how such Examen has been adapted to suit the needs and work done by organizational managers/leaders in 21st century.. Given that...

Weber as one of the three known founding fathers of Sociology is mostly cited with the other founding fathers; Karl Marx and Emil Durkheim in social field. Weber has been prominent in methodological antipositivism, where he argues the study of social action through interpretation of ideas. In his arguments, Weber sees the urge to look at ideas, especially the meanings put onto things and the role of changes of ideas that contribute to society and social changes. His main concern was to understand the processes of rationalization, secularization and disenchantment that he associated with the rise of capitalism and modernity; which resulted to a new way of thinking about the world. He used the German word “verstehen” to discuss deeper understanding of the meanings people put to things; a word that is still used in today’s sociology to analyze the important elements of culture and society. Weber was best known for his thesis combining economic sociology and the sociology of religion as explained in his book: “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism” which he proposed that ascetic...

...Jenell Obie Nov. 9, 2014 Professor Daryl Fields Homework Assignment #2 Sports are very important part of the culture of the United States. When planning to expend a U.S franchise overseas, you need to think of all the factors of local cultures and have a plan to be able to overcome those factors to increase popularity abroad. To be able to attract new athletes, you must understand the cultural differences of their countries. So when taking sport franchises overseas is to make sure we understand the social structures, religion, manners, customs, values, attitudes, language, and personal communication. Just because it’s popular here in America doesn’t mean it will be a hit in other countries. There are many cultures abroad, and it’s nearly impossible to predict what all those cultures will enjoy. Market research comes into play heavily when deciding to take our sports overseas. Now, as the U.S. sport franchises try and go global they are scouting and recruiting foreign athletes, which makes not only that team but also it might make that sport popular with that country of which these foreign players come from. Just like with any business wanting to go global they have to be willing to adapt to that countries customs and rules, for sports it might mean how they play the sport or the rules of the sport and the overall sportsmanship. The most important thing I believe franchises should do to ensure their product is appropriate is to first see if their product is adaptable and...

...Norfolk State University requires students to take general education courses to improve their knowledge in other areas. This knowledge will come in handy when college students are working in their field of study post grad. After taking general education courses I am able to incorporate that knowledge into my daily life and have accurate information about a different culture. With the knowledge of those general courses I am able to apply them to my daily life. The computer courses that I took introduced me to different kinds of programs that are used by most companies. In my class we were required to navigate through all parts of Microsoft Office entirely. I am now able to connect files between the different Microsoft Office programs. The several computer courses that I took were beneficial in keeping up with the growing technology. A lot of courses that I need for my degree are being created online to allow more flexibility to my schedule. In order to do well in these courses I need to be familiar with Microsoft Office programs so that I can do my assignments. This familiarity is essential so that I do not submit sloppy assignment s to my professors simply because I didn’t know how to organize my work in the right Microsoft Office program.

...Assignment 1: Careers in Accounting Isaac I. Huff Strayer University Assignment 1: Careers in Accounting When it comes to pursuing a career in the accounting field, there are many options. According to AccountingEDU.org there are four primary fields in the arena of accounting. Public accounting, Management accounting, Governmental accounting, and internal auditing are the primary fields with many sub-fields that can be entered into. Accounting, of all types, is a constant demand field. A brief search with the term “accountant” yielded over 500 results on USAJobs.gov alone. Two of the accounting fields that interest me most are Forensic Accounting, and Tax Accounting. These two areas appear to be the most involved and ever changing areas in accounting. A Tax accountant is accountable for the collection of tax-related information, reporting to taxation authorities at the federal, state, county, and local levels in a timely manner, and advising management on the tax impact of various corporate strategies. And a Forensic Accounting is the examination of financial records that will lead to or result from litigation. The results of a forensic accounting investigation can be used as evidence in court, and so are usually heavily documented. With the ever-changing US tax code and the increased scrutiny that business is beginning to face, due to things like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, these two areas can be the difference between jail and smooth operation. Forensic Accounting is a...

...Assignment 2: Report on Religious Field Research Paul R. Gates REL 212 – World Religions I remember as a young adolescent growing up in a predominantly Christian-based community seeing men on a busy street corner dressed in suits and bowties selling their own publication of newspapers called The Final Call and women dressed in layered garments that covered everything from their ankles to their hair only revealing their face selling bean pies and various kinds of fruit. I later learned that these people were of the Islamic faith and commonly referred to as Muslims. At the time this is all I knew of the faith other than the fact that Muslims were not permitted to eat swine. Later, I learned that the Muslims selling The Final Call were Muslims in the Nation of Islam which is a sect of the Islamic faith. The Nation of Islam was considered a more radical group of Black Muslim which had gained more celebrity during the sixties and the Civil Rights Movement due to the teachings of Malcolm X. In this assignment, I chose to interview a member of the Islamic faith to get a personal point of view of understanding of the Muslim experience. This person is not a member of the Nation of Islam, but only a devout Muslim born of African heritage. His name is Mousa Adamou born in Karma Koira, Niger and was raised in Lome, Togo Africa. In preparing for our sit-down, I thought of what I already had known about the Muslim faith which was not as much as I thought prior to studying...

He/she is bound to encounter conflict with colleagues, subordinates, and superiors due to different values, and perhaps, varying meaning for the same values. One of the ways to prepare oneself for possible encounters is to be aware of some of the values held by people from other religions. * Islam: The religion revealed to Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) through the Quran, Holy Book of Islam. Muslims are obliged to pray Allah (SWT) five times a day according to a very rigorous schedule, at dawn, around noon, in the afternoon, at dusk and at night. These prayers can only be merged in specific cases, such as visiting a foreign country or during a journey exceeding 80 kilometers. Talking about the workplace, an issue could arise regarding the fact that Muslims have to pray and according to what we stated above, there are two compulsory prayers during the...

...Abstract This paper will discuss the legality requirement when hiring. The U.S. Department of Labor provides several laws and acts that protect potential new hires from unethical hiring practices. The interpretation of the laws provides their own advantages and disadvantages. Hiring Legalities Introduction When looking to fill positions, whether a promotion or a new hire, employers must list the qualifications and the job requirements. This saves the employer and the prospective employee time. Another factor in hiring that must be considered are the legislative laws that are currently in place. Developing an Effective Job Requisition. Developing effective job descriptions helps employers to articulate the responsibilities and requirement of the job/s that they are trying to fill. An effective job description also serves as the benchmark to tell employees if they are a fit for the job in question. Furthermore, it helps employees to understand the boundaries of the expected performance from the potential employee. Ultimately, the goal of an effective job description is to hire the top candidate based on their skills, education and experience (Heatherfield, 2013). When employers are putting together a job description certain steps must be followed. The first that must be followed is to perform a job analysis. A job analysis will enable hiring managers to collect data that can include, job responsibilities of current employees, financial...
