...independence in their self-study. In my opinion, it’s better to have a teacher who is able to guide people using the best approach to solve the problems. I feel that learning with a teacher is much better for several beneficial reasons. Some argue that they can learn better without a teacher because they have more freedom and independence in self-study. However, a teacher is a part of learning process. A teacher is there for guidance in a particular subject in order to help people approach the subject in a better way. Besides, a teacher can help with any problems that people have struggles about studying. A teacher also points out the mistakes and suggests ways to correct perfectly. Another argument in favor of learning better is with the help of computers. Technologies now are more advanced than the past. They think they can get information from the Internet and do everything online instead of writing down in paper. However, no matter how advance technologies may become, the need of a teacher cannot ever be exaggerated. In class, a teacher explains and goes over the reading assignments in the textbook. In contrast, the Internet information does not give students clear and accurate information like a teacher. It is impossible to get reading skills by just reading the textbook by themselves. The last argument that learning with a teacher is a waste of their time. They want to study online at home alone without being bothered by anybody. However, if they study by themselves, they...

Atimonan, Quezon In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Bachelor of Elementary Education By: Remrena Venesha D. Santamina Chapter 1 Problem and It’s Background Introduction Nowadays, many school learners fail to cope with the daily demands of school. Different distractions are interfering the child’s ability and inclination to focus on his assignments, lessons and activities in school. As a result, his academic achievement is not done at very best effort. During the pre-school age, a self-study habit must be develop. Self-study habit can be defined as the ability of the learner to allot time in reviewing and reading his/her lessons. It is gradually developed as the learner grows and matures. Different learners have varied style of study habits. Some study after arriving from school, while others do it at the middle of the night. Unfortunately, developing these skills requires time, patience and effort from the parents, teacher and the learner himself. Additionally a very high level of intrinsic motivation must be present to have this. It cannot be underestimated that self-study habit is one of the foundations of educational achievements. Those who excel in school...

...Ethical Role of the Manager In a broad construction of the ethical role of the manager, managing and leading can be said to be inherently ethics-laden tasks because every managerial decision affects either people or the natural environment in some way—and those effects or impacts need to be taken into consideration as decisions are made. A narrower construction of the ethical role of the manager is that managers should serve only the interests of the shareholder; that is, their sole ethical task is to meet the fiduciary obligation to maximize shareholder wealth that is embedded in the law, predominantly that of the United States, although this point of view is increasingly accepted in other parts of the world. Even in this narrow view, however, although not always recognized explicitly, ethics are at the core of management practice. The ethical role of managers is broadened beyond fiduciary responsibility when consideration is given to the multiple stakeholders who constitute the organization being managed and to nature, on which human civilization depends for its survival. Business decisions affect both stakeholders and nature; therefore, a logical conclusion is that those decisions have ethical content inherently and that managerial decisions, behaviors, and actions are therefore inherently ethical in nature. Whenever there are impacts due to a decision, behavior, or action that a leader or manager makes, there are ethical aspects to that decision or situation. While some skeptics...

Dubner CONTENTS AN EXPLANATORY NOTE In which the origins of this book are clarified. vii PREFACE TO THE REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION xi 1 INTRODUCTION: The Hidden Side of Everything In which the book’s central idea is set forth: namely, if morality represents how people would like the world to work, then economics shows how it actually does work.

...others. Developmental psychologists believe that a sense of self develops at around 18 months and is the starting point when children begin to understand others, they also comment that in order for children to understand others first they must have an understanding of their self. Lewis and Brook-Gunn 1979 conducted a study on a group of mothers and their babies, aged 9-24 months. The aim of the experiment was to see what age a baby recognised itself in the mirror. The babies were placed in front of a mirror and observed to see how they reacted, then the mother would remove the baby and wipe their nose with red blusher (the mother would wipe the baby's face in a way that the baby would just think the mother was cleaning dirt off its face.) The baby was then placed back in front of the mirror and observed again. They found that babies under 15 months tended not to recognise the baby in the mirror as themselves, they may have found the reflection similar but there was no difference in reaction when they saw the red spot on their nose. By 21 months though the babies were actively trying to wipe the red mark off their face, this shows a heightened sense of self awareness compared to the 15 month olds as they recognised that the baby in the mirror was them. Researchers also studied childrens self-awareness to learn about the development of emotions such as embarrassment. Lewis conducted a further study in 2000, he believed that embarrassment is a feeling that comes when...

...the perception of self appertain such a paradox in life; there is no apparent correlation between the ownership of objects, or even the non-material concepts of ‘ownership’ that emerged, and the perception of self and self-value. Yet, in an indirect manner, ownership influences how one perceives himself and is conducive to the level at which one’s self-perception exists. Ownership, of both material and nonmaterial objects, has the potential of establishing a sense of belonging that augments self-confidence,...

...impact of self-esteem on various aspects of selfie-taking behaviours in an adult sample Li-Ann Smal Lab Group 1 13320884 Abstract Tables of Contents Introduction Since the mass availability of the Internet in the 1970s, social media sites (SMS) have been gradually gaining prominence. The first social network to gain major recognition was Friends Reunited in 1999. Several other sites emerged in popularity such as Friendster, Myspace, Bebo and Twitter. In 2004, Facebook was founded. Facebook is the largest social network in the world, with over 1.23 billion monthly active users (Protalinski, 2014).

...Soaring Shackles When I was younger I did not know God as much as I do now because I was too young to understand the main concepts of Jesus. I did not believe in Jesus. It took some life changing events to help me realize my relationship with God. One of those events was when I was raped. I was very scared and felt like I had no self respect for myself. I thought it was my entire fault and that I deserved what happened to me. I did not want to come to school, or do anything, for that matter. It felt like it was me against the world and that I did not have anyone to talk to because they would not understand what I was feeling or going through. There was this guy that I had thought loved me as much as I loved him. I was crazy about him. We would do everything together. He would tell me he loved me all the time. One particular day, we saw one another but, it did not feel right. I had invited him in my house because I wanted to spend as much time as I could with him. Something in my gut told me that I should not bring him in my home, but I did anyway. That is when he had raped me. I was scared to tell my mother about what happened, so I tried to keep it a secret. As days passed my mother finally figured out what had happened. I felt ashamed because I had let my mother and family down and I thought that they had thought of me in a different perspective. I used to cry myself to sleep until one day I ...

...“Self” was defined by Burns 1980 as a “set of attitudes a person holds towards himself.” To assess what stage children develop a sense of self, Lewis and Brooks Gunn (1979) conducted a study whereby babies had red dye put on their nose and put in front of a mirror at 9 and 15 months respectively. At 9 months, the baby showed no awareness of it having red dye on themselves, and therefore no self-awareness. However, at 15 months, the baby made attempts to remove the dye, showing that it had developed a sense of self. It was further shown in this study that babies, at the age of 2, babies can distinguish themselves in photos whereas at 3 months they prefer to look at videos rather than themselves (Berk 2006). Also, when discussing a child’s development of sense of self, it is important to relate it to the Theory of Mind (ToM). This is the ability to understand the fact that others have different beliefs to your own, and the ability to reason with them, and perhaps predict what actions they’ll make, and for what reason. Baron-Cohen et al (1985) researched into ToM, and aimed to find out if ToM is present in every child and discover whether it develops at the same rate. They used typically and atypically developing children, 61 in total, divided into 3 groups, normally developing, autistic, and downs syndrome. There were 20 autistic children, 14 children with downs syndrome, and 27 normally developing children. The children were then told a story about two dolls, named Sally and...

Although self-talk does not necessarily lead to neurotic imposture, both of these ideas of behavior are very viable and accurately based off of scientific research and common personal experiences. Amy Cuddy’s, “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are”, discusses how internal communication, which is how a person speaks to oneself through body language, can have an effect on the overall outcome of life experiences and bases this claim off of personal experiences communally shared by the audience and most people. “The Dangers of Feeling like a Fake,” by Manfred Kets de Vries, explains neurotic imposture, and how these feelings of fakeness can eventually lead to the downfall of the impostor and even the...

...Transilvania University of Brașov Faculty of Letters MA Study Programme Anglo – American literature by woman MA student: Șerban Agurița Dorinela 1 st year – R.F. 2012 – 2013 Feminism is political label indicating support for the aims of the new woman’s movement which emerged in the late 1960s. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist is an advocate or supporter of the rights and equality of women. Feminist theory, which emerged from these feminist movements, aims to understand the nature of gender inequality by examining women's social roles and lived experience; it has developed theories in a variety of disciplines in order to respond to issues such as the social construction of sex and gender. Some of the earlier forms of feminism have been criticized for taking into account only white, middle-class, educated perspectives. This led to the creation of ethnically specific or multiculturalism forms of feminism. The feminist movement produced both feminist fiction and non-fiction, and created new interest in women's writing. Nights at the Circus is a novel by Angela Carter, first published in 1984 and that year's winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. The novel focuses on...
