...opposition to therapist using Freudian model, which focused on the disturbed unconscious side of patients rather than the rational conscious self (Corey, 2013). Reality therapy is based on the principles of Choice theory, which stresses that individual behavior and human motivation is all purposeful and intentional in order to satisfy human basic needs (Wubbolding, 2015). The basic needs that drive all humans are survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun (Correy, 2013). According to choice theory our actions and behaviors are consciously driven by the need to fulfill these basic needs (Wubbolding, 2015). Humans are thus not affected or guided by past...

...Chapter 5 Social Responsibility and Ethics How important is it for organizations and managers to be socially responsible and ethical? In this chapter, we’re going to look at what it means to be socially responsible and ethical and what role managers play in both. Focus on the following learning outcomes as you read and study this chapter. LEARNING OUTCOMES 5.1 Discuss what it means to be socially responsible and what factors influence that decision. 5.2 Explain green management and how organizations can go green. 5.3 Discuss the factors that lead to ethical and unethical behavior. 5.4 Describe management’s role in encouraging ethical behavior. 5.5 Discuss current social responsibility and ethics issues. SPOTLIGHT: Manager at Work Chapter 5 presents contemporary concepts of managerial ethics and social responsibility to help your students explore and appreciate the critical role of these issues in today’s complex business environment. In the opening case, “A Manager at Work,” we see firsthand the complications that arise when companies are caught in the middle of unethical and illegal allegations. The case revolves around allegations of attempted bribery by three Renault executives. After an investigation, all three of the employees were dismissed, but the story doesn’t end there as the Paris prosecutor in charge of the case later dismissed the charges for lack of evidence. Renault would eventually backtrack on the firing of the executives, rehiring all three...

...campus as well as reward students for positive behavior. All students earn an hour lunch if they are on green banner—the campus stays clean and there are no major disciplinary violations—for five days (BHS Student Handbook). Rewarding students with an hour lunch for good grades rather than positive behavior would be better because it would encourage students to get good grades, make students responsible for their own hour lunch, and avoid punishing all students for a few students bad behavior. By rewarding students for good grades rather than positive behavior or a clean campus, each student is 100% personally responsible for whether or not they will get an hour lunch. It is completely up to them. When hour lunches are given for a clean campus, many students don’t think about picking up garbage they see around the school because they think, “That’s not mine. I always throw my garbage away,” or “Oh, somebody else will get it. I don’t need to worry about it.” They know there are plenty of other students in the school and don’t feel as responsible to clean things up, especially if it’s not theirs....

...offense patterns reflect more serious crimes among the youngsters, and the young offenders are more likely to continue with criminal acts. Child delinquents are more liable to become serious and violent offenders than youths whose delinquent behavior begins in the teens. Several studies indicate increased cases of violence committed by young children, which have resulted in children delinquents inflicting more deadly harm. For this reason, child delinquents represent a significant problem for the society. Several studies show that young males are associated with multitude Jihad warriors. The perpetrators are likely to be between 15 to 25 years. Adolescence brings a dramatic increase in the number of people who are willing to offend, generally between 15 and 18 years. With Jihad wars, the same factors attract young men to deviant activity can play a significant role in the attraction terrorism hold. Higher impulsivity, great confidence, and attraction to risk –taking gives a particular appeal to some young males. In addition, a desire for revenge and retribution is also a common motive for joining terrorist groups. Research indicates that most young men hold the most positive attitude towards vengeance and are likely to approve vengeful behavior. Most of the Jihads terrorists are in their teens to mid-twenties. Another significant issue is that the marriage patterns in the Muslim communities shows it is done at a young age. Preventing the juvenile from becoming delinquent...

...“at-risk” behaviors may range from slight behavior trouble, such as bad grades and disinterest, to more sever behavior, such as violence and rage. These children risk not only failure in school, but failure in life as well. They may drop out of school, become members of gangs, act in fits of violence, and become drug addicts. Teachers must be aware of signs and intervene when a child shows such behavior. In this assignment our case study is a sixteen- year- old tenth grader which could be male or female since there is no specific gender description. For this paper we will refer to our student as a girl named “Sally”. Sally demonstrates behaviors which include defacing school property, reading at a sixth-grade level, sleeping in class, and refusing to answer direct questions in class. Sally does not have many friends, and is living in a single parent home with siblings. A particular behavior which Sally demonstrates that is particularly troublesome is her poor reading skills. She is probably likely to feel as though she cannot join in with her peers. Erik Erickson believed that students feel he or she is distracting themselves by “defacing school property” to act out her frustrations in her inability to keep up with the class (Erikson). As her teacher I could assign her special books, and reports which cater to her level of abilities. She could attempt these special assignments at home so she is not singled out. Also, I could make class assignments to include students reading...

...Personal Responsibility Essay Donald Upward GEN/200 January 15, 2014 Dan Barbara, MAEd Personal Responsibility Essay Personal responsibility is the necessity and willingness to complete tasks in a timely manner, and it is essential to achieving success in college. The key to this is exercising careful control over one’s time, finances, and health. There are benefits to engaging in responsible behavior along with negative consequences for engaging in irresponsible behavior. Two areas of improvement as a college student are procrastination avoidance and time management. Staying well ahead of deadlines is one effective strategy to help manage time. According to Hersh and Geary Schneider (2005), “Personal responsibility and social responsibility involve the moral obligation to both self and community, and both forms of responsibility rely upon such virtues as honesty, self-discipline, respect, loyalty, and compassion.” (p. 8) As far as the student experience is concerned, the three main factors of time, finances, and health govern personal responsibility. A deficiency of any of these will have a detrimental effect on the chances of success. If one does not put aside enough time or is constantly procrastinating, they will likely miss deadlines and consistently will turn in work that is lacking in refinement and detail. This can lead to the belief that just scraping by with barely adequate work is acceptable. Similarly, if one does not do what is necessary to...

...2013 2014 nash-rOCky mOunt PuBliC sChOOls stuDEnt/ParEnt hanDBOOk Superintendent’s Message August 2013 Dear NRMPS Students and Parents, The School Board, faculty, staff and administrators of Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools are committed to providing a safe, orderly, secure and disruption free environment that will produce globally competitive students, who are prepared for bright and prosperous futures, when they graduate. High quality instruction will offer challenging curriculum based on rigor, relevance and adequate resources for all students. Expectations for student behavior are high in every school. The Code of Student Conduct is revised annually to align with state and federal laws and to address other issues critical to providing a safe and quality educational environment. Included in the Code of Conduct are expectations for behavior on school buses that you should be aware of even if your child does not ride a bus to or from school since these expectations apply for field trips, athletic contest trips and other school approved activities. To ensure consistency with student understanding of school division expectations, the Code of Student Conduct is reviewed at the beginning of each school year. In addition, I urge each parent to read and review this material with your child to ensure that you understand our expectations prior to any potential issues. Being unaware of the rules of conduct and behavior is not a defense if your child actually violates...

...in school. No matter what academic level each student who walks into my classroom is at, learning cannot take place unless I first establish a positive learning environment. I have learned from my own children that they are happiest when boundaries are established, expectations are clear, and there is no confusion with how our household is going to run or the consequences they will face if they choose not to follow the rules. The same is true for the students within our classrooms. The boundaries I establish at the beginning of the year sets the tone for the duration of the time my students will spend with me. When there is a well thought out plan and students are aware of what is expected, no matter the activity, students will experience effective learning. Centers are an effective teaching strategy that allows self-directed learning amongst students. During a 90 minute reading block, I plan to use literacy centers while I am reading in small groups. This activity will be used every day for the entire year so it will be extremely important for my students to understand the appropriate procedures and my expectations for center time. My first expectation of my students at all center time activities is to use only a 12 inch voice, my second expectation is for my students to respect their peers and materials at each station, my third expectation is to stay on task, and my final expectation for center time is for my students to leave the station tidy and as it was when they...

...Wongs’ approach explains that student success is based on an effective teacher. Effective teachers are those who explain and teach proper behaviors and procedures so that they become automatic to the students (Charles & Senter, 2011). | The Wong’s approach could be called a “Common Sense Approach”. Everything the plan outlines is something that could be used on a daily basis without unnecessary spending or difficulty. This approach gives teachers a clear outline of their responsibilities as well as student responsibilities (Charles & Senter, 2011). The Wongs’ approach outlines a way for teachers to explain procedures within the first two weeks. It also urges teachers to be consistent and to establish a routine so that students know exactly what to do (Charles & Senter, 2011). | The approach could be seen as too broad; it does not discuss individual needs. The Wongs outline how to use it in every grade level, but they do not discuss how to use it in specific circumstances or with individual needs. | There plan can be used at any grade level. The Wongs’ give examples of how it can be used from the elementary level to vocational courses (Charles & Senter, 2011). Staying consistent allow students to do thing right thing automatically (Charles & Senter, 2011). | The approach is almost scripted; it does not give suggestions of how to handle the unexpected. While effective teachers make for more successful students, it could be said that this...

...building is also incorporated into this chapter. CHAPTER OUTLINE AND LECTURE NOTES Being ethical and socially responsible is part of being an effective leader even if many financially successful executives are unethical and socially irresponsible. I. PRINCIPLES OF ETHICAL AND MORAL LEADERSHIP Ethics is the study of moral obligations, or separating right from wrong. Also, ethics are the accepted guidelines of behavior for groups or institutions. Morals are an individual’s determination of what is right or wrong and is influenced by his or her values. A moral leader will practice good ethics. Edwin H. Locke argues that ethics is at the center of leadership because the goal of a rational leader is to merge the interests of all parties so that everyone benefits and the organization prospers. A. Five Ethical Leadership Behaviors 1. Be Honest and Trustworthy and Have Integrity in Dealing with Others. Trustworthiness contributes to leadership effectiveness. It appears, however, that trust in business leaders is low. Integrity refers to loyalty to rational principles, thereby practicing what one preaches regardless of emotional or social pressure. (A criminal can have integrity by consistently engaging in criminal behavior.) 2. Pay Attention to All Stakeholders. Maximizing shareholder wealth is not a sufficient role for a leader. Another behavior of authentic leaders is to perceive their role to including having an ethical responsibility to all of their...

...achievements from students are based on how classroom rules are practiced. Strengths: * Students are comfortable enough where they know their environment because the rules are specific and clear about expectations. * When students follow procedures, they become comfortable with their environment so they know what to do because procedures are divided into time frames. Advantages: * Allows teacher to focus more on the lesson then having to frequently discipline students * Only two to three weeks are spent practicing the rules so students can cultivate discipline, liability, and orderliness. Weaknesses: * Students know what to do at all times so this leaves very little freedom * Involves a lot of time and training students and focuses more on the behavior of the teacher rather than the needs of the students. Disadvantages: * Takes time away from teaching * Rules are very strict and doesn’t focus on students’ needs or unpredictable events * Teachers spend a lot of time preparing the rules so they can be up to standard and they don’t really adjust the procedures to the student’s behaviors. Agree/Disagree? I agree to some extent with Wong’s “Effective Classroom” because, although the first few weeks it may take up time from teaching the students, it will eventually pay off. It may sound mean to leave little freedom for students but in elementary, they have their recess and lunch. In middle school and in high school, students get those few...

...Theory basically looks at how people make sense of their world; what cause and effect inferences they make about the behaviors of others and of themselves. Heider states that there is a strong need in individuals to understand transient events by attributing them to the actor's disposition or to stable characteristics of the environment. The purpose behind making attributions is to achieve COGNITIVE CONTROL over one's environment by explaining and understanding the causes behind behaviors and environmental occurrences. Making attributions gives order and predictability to our lives; helps us to cope. Imagine what it would be like if you felt that you had no control over the world. (talk about later) When you make attributions you analyze the situation by making inferences (going beyond the information given) about the dispositions of others and yourself as well as inferences about the environment and how it may be causing a person to behave. Two basic kinds of attributions made: INTERNAL and EXTERNAL INTERNAL - dispositional EXTERNAL - situational Consequences of making inferences: 1) gives order and predictability; 2) inferences lead to behavior - you will or will not behave in certain ways toward the actor based on your inferences and you will form expectations as to how the actor will behave. The meaning of a behavior depends on the cause to which it is attributed (e.g. bystander studies - if we don't perceive the situation is caused...

...management. Students and teachers have a right to learn and teach in a stress free classroom that is not going to cause harm to themselves and others. Within this paper I will discuss four articles that address the legal and ethical implications for classroom management related to the rights and responsibilities of students, teacher, and parents. The first article I read and will discuss is the Rights and Responsibilities of the Teacher and Student by Sarah Ganly. The article talked about the responsibility of the educator in the classroom and the legal rights of the students. The author addresses the liability teachers have and how they are held accountable to a certain degree. For instance, the law states that a teacher is held liable/accountable for a student’s welfare if foreseeable of harm exists (Ganly, 2007). When parents send their children to school as teacher we know students safety is top priority and better known as a legal right for the child. In the same sense parents have the right to enroll their child into a school or program that has their child best interest in mind and make it a priority. Needless to say not everyone is going to always agree on what is unforeseeable and foreseeable incident the same. When incidents occur in the classroom it should looked over individual and examined to ensure the safety of the teacher and students. When teachers take their class on field trips so many things can happen which can cause the students safety to be...
