...Taking a Position The key issue of this comic strip is that two co-workers on break and one worker is trying to get another worker to steal from the company that they work for. Anita suspends judgment before taking a position. She really is shocked at first, and then she see that she could use the extra money but she realizes that stealing is wrong. To me Anita use logic and more value judgment because, if the company find out about the theft they will fire her, and she will lose everything. She notices that yes she is broke now but if she has no job she will be broke permanently. She makes a decision. She know she had to do what is right no matter if her co-worker was her friend or not, but wrong is wrong. Recall My issue is the same as Anita except my co-workers takes a pre-paid card every month for her phone without paying for it. She told me about how she go about doing so and how I can go about getting one without paying as well. I really thought about it for a day because she put it in my head plus that same month was not able to pay for a phone card so my phone was off for a while. So, yes I suspend judgment before taking a position. I use logic and moral because I know that I could lose my job and theft would follow me for the rest of my life. I also know my mother raised and thought me better. I made the decision to report the situation to my manager the next morning when I return to work because I know that it wrong to steal. I know that...

...self: Implications for organized youth sport programs George Herbert Mead was a noted social psychologist who taught at the University of Chicago in the 1930s. He is famous for his theory of the self in which he used the game of baseball to illustrate the complexity of the relationship between the individual and the social environment. In his theory he explained that the social and conceptual abilities required to fully comprehend relationships between different positions in a complex game were similar to the abilities required in the role taking processes that underlie all social relationships and, ultimately, serve as the basis for all social order in society. My own interests in social psychology and the self has led me to use Mead’s theory to (1) understand the process through which sport participation affects the behavior and development of young people, and (2) describe and set the limits of what can be expected from the children in organized youth sport programs. Interaction, the Self, Role Taking, and Participation in Organized Team Sports Mead states that people or selves, as he chooses to call them, are the products of social interaction. "The self,” he said, “is essentially a social structure, and it arises in social experiences (1934: 140). He also explained that the development of the self occurs as people interact with others and learn to give meaning to their experiences. In the case of youth sport participation this means that children are influenced...

...In this article David R. Mayhew is addressing is if congress members are singleminded seekers for re-election. He uses three categories advertising, credit claiming and position-taking to support his argument. Advertising is used to “create a favorable image but in messages having little or no issue content.” The reason advertising is important because many people do not inform themselves about political matters. This makes any recognition influential to voters. He states, “recognition carries a positive valence; to be perceived at all is to be perceived favorably.” Credit claiming is a congressman claiming association with accomplishments that have helped the people so the people will re-elect him. Position-taking is the congressman taking an opinion on a political matter of interest to the people. Mayhew uses these three points advertising, credit claiming and position-taking as the basis for his argument....

...Determining Your Perfect Position John Doe LDR/531 Catherine Garcia University of Phoenix July 1, 2012 Shershah Cuisine of India is a family owned Indian restaurant that is currently expanding its operation by opening five more restaurants and creating a marketing team in which to bring in new business such as large parties such as weddings. In the course of this expansion, many new positions will be necessary in order to ensure the successful opening of five new restaurants and a catering team. I will be taking on a two fold position in that I will assume an operational and logistical role in the expansion since I put a big emphasis on numbers such as inventory, which is very important in order to make the bottom line and be profitable which is extremely difficult in the restaurant business. I will also be acting as a district manager, and will take responsibility for tasks as hiring the right people for the positions that will be created through the expansion who will be integral in taking ownership of positions and responsibilities that I have neither the experience or skill set for. To make this a successful expansion, I will use a combination of leadership styles that have worked for me in the past such as participative, situational, and most importantly charismatic. Participative Leadership One of the different leadership styles that I will use to accomplish my goal of a successful expansion is Participative Leadership. Participative...

...that are already established in the company may look at the temps badly. It may be hard to build teams within the workplace and they could view the temps as threats in taking their jobs or promotions. Another disadvantage is that the temp may not be as committed either because they liked being a temp or they are not treated with respect by other employees. Another disadvantage is relying on the temp agency screening. The temp agency is supposed to weed out the problem employees, but they may not have. 2. One advantage of being a job seeker and taking a temp to perm position is that you could have a permanent job and steady income. Taking a temp job could get your foot in the door and the company may want to hire you permanently which then would be a steady paycheck. Another advantage would be that you could be promoted and move higher up in the business. One disadvantage would be that the other employees may feel threatened by you and not respect you. They may see that you are more motivated and could potentially be promoted before them. Another disadvantage is that you could be over qualified and be underpaid. The circumstances to which people are more likely to take a temp to perm position is if they see potential growth in their position in the company. They are more likely to be offered the position if they are a hard working reliable employee. 3. One challenge a manager may face who manages both temporary and permanent employees is that the temporary employee...

...Congress is the legislative branch of the American government that is divided into two separate chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. As stated per the reading, Congress: The Electoral Connection written by David R. Mayhew, all congress members must be vigilante with their day-to-day activities to insure that they are always mindful of their continued reelection efforts. According to Mayhew, in order for congressional incumbents to gain a favorable advantage over potential challengers there are three types of activities they will focus on while in office: advertising, credit claiming and position taking. The first area of focus a congressional member must be concerned with is advertising, defined by Mayhew as, “any effort to disseminate one’s name among constituents in such a fashion as to create a favorable image but in messages having little or no issue content” (1). A congressman’s main objective for advertising is to become better known to their constituents and provide his or her district voters with name recognition for future electoral races. A few popular ways a congressman can gain recognition throughout their constituency is to perform nonpolitical speeches, exercise their franking privileges by free distribution of information delivered through the federal postal system, generate news or opinion columns, participate in radio or television broadcasts and become proficient with internet, text or other electronic media pursuant to today’s technology...

...women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult”, Charlotte Whitton (The Soul Sisters). Hilary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Oprah Winfrey are just a few names who have taken women leadership to the next level. But why does progress still seem to be a struggle for other women? Men seem to be dominating the political world in the U.S., and females seem to be striving to be the next powerhouses, but their professional image seems to be standing in the way of their future. Although women have made significant progress in obtaining low level leadership positions, their professional image continues to prevent them from receiving these same positions in higher forms. Political standards for future female candidates have become increasingly difficult to fulfill. The claim made for women not obtaining these higher level positions is simply because women are “less hierarchical, more cooperative and collaborative, and more oriented increasing other’s self-worth” (Eagly, pg. 2). Candidates for the job must be “likeable and tough” (Braude), which is seemingly become more and more difficult for female leaders these days when men are strong participants with these characteristics. When one wants to put a female and a male in a rink together, who would come out on top? The obvious choice would be the male, but it is not time to give a female the chance? The opportunity for women leaders to take control and create a decade where women...

...The process of legalization is a delicate matter because of the vast moral questions that it raises. Technically, if there are supply and enormous demand, there must not be any problems with providing particular services, just a profitable deal, and successful cooperation. Nevertheless, there is one great problem, an ethical one. Also, the fact is that prostitution will exist no matter what because men will always degrade women, and women, in turn, can do the same to men, even though these moral aspects are not connected with the legalization process, mostly depending on moral qualities of the society members, and not on a position on prostitution. Thus, the essay will try to prove why prostitution should not be legal with the help of analysis of the articles of the well-known scientists. While feminist theory represents prostitution as a working activity that lets women use their “agency” or “free choice”, calling them “migrant workers”, even despite the fact that a bigger part of those women are working to pay debts, or under duress, it serves to normalize prostitution concept and its rapid growth. Nevertheless, most of the problems, such as violence against women, organized crime, trafficking, early sexualization, that become more pressing day after day are seen as a substantial part of sex industry functioning. The feminist theory pays less attention to violence against women than to work and economy question. Moreover, the idea of sexual work has already caused a significant...
