Quicho Student no. 11-00131 Psychology (BS), 2nd semester CONTENTS 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………1 2 What is Aggression………………………………………………………………2 3 Disorders linked from Aggression……………………………………….. ~1~ 1- INTRODUCTION Psychologists classify aggression as instrumental and hostile. Instrumental aggression is aggressive behavior intended to achieve a goal. It is not necessarily intended to hurt another person. For example, a soccer player who knocks a teammate down as they both run to stop the ball from reaching the opposing team's goalpost is not trying to hurt the teammate. Hostile aggression, onthe other hand, is aggressive behavior whose only purpose is to hurt someone.Hostile aggression includes physical or verbal assault and other antisocialbehaviors. Most studies of aggression are geared toward hostile aggression. There are several forms of self-control training, which teaches people to control their own anger and aggression by making verbal statements in which the person tells him/herself to respond to anger and arousal by thinking first and then using less aggressive behavior. Self-control training includes rational restructuring, cognitive self-instruction, and stress inoculation. Self-control...

...figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. (Google) Metaphors can help explain something to make it more understanding. For example, my cousin is the black sheep of the family. He really is not black nor is a sheep. A black sheep is an unusual animal that you do not usually see with the herd. My cousin is never around and when he is, he stays behind. He and the black sheep share the same characteristics, therefore, I use the metaphor, and he is the black sheep in the family. Another type of metaphor is called a conventional metaphor. These types of metaphors are sometimes constructed through our common language. Another example, someone who loves the nightlife would be referred to a ‘night owl’ versus someone who is the first one up in the morning and can take on the day with no coffee would be referred to being an early bird. Plain language unlike metaphors is clear. The language is designed for the reader to understand complete and clear as possible. Some people refrain from using plain language since it would be out of their comfort zone so they use metaphor to make their statement more understanding. The metaphor allows us not merely to describe one thing in terms of another but to comprehend one thing in terms of another, using information pertaining to a more concrete, embodied domain to understand some component of a more abstract domain. (Liza Freedom Weisberg, 2012) I personally use...

I do understand that as a native speaker to English, this course may be a bit difficult for you, however please don't worry as I am always here to help you. This week we are putting our focuses on the "Word Power" conference. This conference has been set up for students to participate in a fun new way of introducing new words and phrases. These words and phrases are English culture specific and may be difficult to learn, however with my help I am hoping you will understand the definition of the word as well as understand the phrases that this word provokes. In this conference we are discussing the word "Joe". Joe is a simple word, yet is used in so many ways to refer to so much. The word "Joe" in its simplest form is a noun and refers to a person, place or thing. Its most common reference is to a person; "Joe" is a name or nickname. It has become an easy way to refer to other phrases that mean more than just a name. The word is very informal and is used in a casual context. The military community has also adopted the word "Joe" and it...

...Through this course I acquired the knowledge to use in different approaches when dealing with a company internationally. I now have a perspective of the international network, and the challenges in the international environment. My first perspective is the component parts of an international company, and understanding internally how it all comes together. Now I see why it helps to identify the company’s strengths and weaknesses, prioritize the company’s tasks to solve them in the right order and synchronize efforts to move in the same direction. We covered subjects such as globalization, differences in cultures, the strategy of international business, and the organization of international business, global human resource management and global marketing. This knowledge is important because it gives me an understanding of how to utilize the knowledge behind a product, and bring inside knowledge to everyone on the team I create. I see how it’s not the physical product itself that makes an impact on the market, but how you utilize the knowledge behind the product such as the services and culture. The real value of knowledge is not the product but how to use everything to create a competitive advantage anywhere. A company has many different units, and sometimes they are not all aligned to the same. By looking more closely at challenges, when dealing with forming the strategy to implementing the strategy, I am now able to identify the misunderstandings between the decided strategy...

...crucial for a knower to fully understand knowledge, because each way of knowing have significant weaknesses to them. However, if the ways of knowing are working with one another in a network, the weaknesses of one way of knowing can be supported by the strengths of others. This strong network of the ways of knowing allows the knower to obtain a strong understanding of a particular area of knowledge, depending on the ways of knowing that are being connected in this network. By using multiple ways of knowing in the network, the knower is able to develop multiple perspectives about the knowledge, creating more complete and comprehensible knowledge for the knower. Mathematics and religion are two areas of knowledge that are observable nearly every day in our lives and society. Ways of knowing enable the an individual to receive and retain knowledge. However, in order to fully understand this knowledge, a strong network of the ways of knowing are crucial for the knower. In mathematics, a equation or answer can be compromised with the smallest mistake in the mathematical process. This requires the knower to have a complete understanding of the process and concept they are being presented with. A strong network of ways of knowing is imperative for a knower to fully understand a question they are presented with, and ultimately come away with the correct answer. In order for the knowledge to be transferred from teacher to student, the teacher must clearly communicate the knowledge. Language...

...Is Science in the Bible? The need to answer this very question has come about all too often throughout time. It has at times driven a wedge between men because in order to gain knowledge and understanding of the truths of the world, Science deems it necessary to prove the truths by presenting the facts through a systematic process. The Bible on the other hand is presented to man by God and offers knowledge of the truths of the world through having faith and building a relationship with Him, which brings forth the knowledge needed to understand the world. In fact many times being a Christian can mean it must be impossible to be a scientist at the same time. But what many people do not understand is that Christianity and science are quite compatible. It has also been said that Science and Scripture are in no way at odds with each other but rather two distinct ways of thinking. On one hand are the believers of creation whom take the Bible as the only truth needed to understand the world. While on the other hand stands the evolutionist who seeks to explain and understand the truths of the world created by a God that cannot be seen or touched. For many years man has worked diligently to explain and prove the phenomena of the universe. This field of study as we know it is called Science. In today’s world Science can best be described as a systematic method used by scientists to prove the phenomena of the universe through observations, measurements, testing and documented...

...benefits the organization. I think that it all depends on the type of training needed and the people that will be involved. There may be a need for more "hands on training" and/or development depending on the subject matter. More companies are going to online training because of the convenience and also because it saves money. Not all people learn the same way. Conducting something face to face may be more beneficial for some versus online. Here is an instance when the company needs to have a good understanding of its people. While employee training and development are closely linked, they indeed are different in the scope of the results that are attained using each. Simply put training focuses more on increasing one’s understanding and competency as it relates to their selected job or organization while employee development seeks to increase the employee’s overall “skill set” both for now and in the future. The goal of employee development is to prepare employees for long term organizational needs. Employee orientation serves...

...attributions because perception is the process by which the individual selects, organizes, interprets, and responds to information. Employees are constantly exposed to a variety of information. They know when leaders are being phony. This information is processed in a person’s, mind and organized to form concepts pertaining to what is sensed or experienced. Different people often perceive a situation differently, both in terms of what they selectively perceive and how they organize and interpret what is perceived, by the employee and their manger (Hellriegel and Slocum, 2011. Pp. 104). The attributions that employees and managers make concerning the causes of behavior are important for understanding behavior. For example, a leader who attributes poor performance directly to his subordinates tends to behave more punitively than does a leader who attributes poor performance to circumstances beyond his subordinates’ control. A manager who believes that an employee failed to perform a task correctly because he lacked proper training might be understanding and give the employee better instructions or more...

...Assignment 2: Ethical and Socially Responsive Business Chipotle Mexican Grill Eric Jones Professor Albin BUS 100 6/8/2016 Chipotle is a company that is based on a family-oriented and friendly atmosphere with great food, and conversation with friends or family. Chipotle's Code of Conduct relies on Integrity, and Loyalty. Integrity seems to play a major part of the company. Integrity is a concept about being true and honest, even if it means that you have to do the right thing even if your actions showed that it wasn't right. Chipotle is all about adhering to good judgment and high ethical standards which is having trust in a company and having loyalty to the customers, even if the customers are rude and have wild tendencies. Loyalty will keep the customer satisfied and wanting to come back for more and more because they feel that they will not be disappointed in the quality of the type of food that they're getting or won't feel like they are being ripped off for their money. The customers always want to feel like that they are always going to experience great service whenever they step into an Chipotle establishment. Just like with all companies, Chipotle has an " Anti-Discrimination, Harassment and Sexual Harassment" policy that I think is important also because of what's going on in today's society with transgender roles being brought into the world. A company shouldn't discriminate on a person for...

...environment over time in order to understand and ultimately belong to a new environment. From this, we are able to perceive how a personal sense of belonging can be attributed on experiences from those around us, and how their influence increase over the passage of time. The ability to gain an understanding and attachment with one’s changing environment creates an interminable bond with one’s adaptive identity. In Romulus My Father, Romulus was initially unable to accept his status as a “New Australian”, as he was initially unwilling to disassociate himself from his European lifestyle – “Romulus Gaita always considered himself a Romanian”. His description of the European foliage as “soft and generous” includes emotive language to resonate the resilient relationship between his origins. This lack of assimilation is corroborated through his detachment from the Australian landscape “His eyes looked directly at the foliage and turned away offended”. This disconnection is further illustrated by his assignment of symbols to the land of “deprivation and barrenness”. The inability for Romulus to reattach himself to his changing environment leads him to become delusional in his understanding of his identity, distorting his perceptions of belonging. Through our own and others’ experiences, we are able to increase our...

...provide an approach to the development of personal and interpersonal effectiveness. Part 1 The first three habits focus on transitioning from dependence to independence, the mastery of self. Each of us begins life as an infant. We are completely dependent upon others to care for us. “They gradually, over the ensuing months and years, we become more independent- physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially-until eventually we can essentially take care of ourselves, becoming inner-directed and self-reliant”, (Covey 57), it is in our nature to transition to independence. Wikipedia.org summarizes The 7 Habits in correlation to each phase, beginning with self-mastery. Habit 1: Be Proactive describes how to take initiative in life by understanding how our decisions are determining factors for effectiveness in your life. Covey encourages us to take responsibility for our choices and accept the consequences that come with those choices. Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind explains how to discover and clarify our deeply important character values and life goals and how to envision the characteristics we use in our various roles and relationships. Habit 3: Put...

...Akarsh Trivedi Term paper Plato’s theory of forms, also knows as his theory of ideas, states that there is another world that exists. This world is separate from the world that we live in. Plato calls this world the eternal world. The theory that he proposes is that objects in the physical world merely resemble perfect forms in the ideal world, and that there perfect forms can be the object of true knowledge. Through out his work Plato makes the distinction between objects that are real and concepts that exist in our minds. To better understand this we have to look at the characteristics that Plato bases knowledge on. Throughout this his works, Plato was always concerned with one thing, which was epistemology. Epistemology deals with the possibilities and limits of human knowledge. It tries to answer such questions as: is the world as people perceive it the basic reality, or do people perceive only appearances that conceal basic reality? Knowledge may be regarded as having two parts. There is, first of all, what one perceives using the five senses. Next there is the way these perceptions are organized by the mind to form ideas or concepts. The problem is that epistemology is based on how philosophers have understood the relationship of the mind to the rest of reality. Through the Theory of Forms, Plato links mind and reality. For the average person, common sense says that there is a real world of perceivable objects. These objects can be analyzed and understood. Philosophers...

...does it mean to be human?” The author will give his definition of what it means to be a human, while describing what metaphors Victor Frankl used to communicate his ideas. He will also be discussing the different difficulties of addressing certain characteristics and whether the characteristics are limited to humans. When it comes to metaphors and the roles they play in helping people understand artificial intelligence, they are significant to people who need a demonstration or idea of what’s going on. Artificial intelligence is basically computer created to perform human like activities, so describing a situation such as cars, machine made will make the definition of it more understandable to some. After reading and defining different terms to help me understand the situation, I have come to the conclusion that the brain is a meat-machine because it controls the body and it daily functions. That is similar to a machine because it is set to perform daily tasks to perform a certain goal. Different metaphors that have been used are the spider-web which is delicate and connects many things, it responds instantly and simultaneously to outside events. Also a prism can be considered a metaphor for the brain also because it breaks white light into many colors. After reading his idea or quote on the meaning of life which stated that a deed we do, a work we create; 2) an experience, a human encounter, a love; and 3) when confronted with an unchangeable fate (such as an incurable disease)...

...Historically, the term ‘student’ referred to anyone learning something. However, the recent definition of a “student” is anyone who attends school, college, or university. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, and their qualities clearly determine their future. Who is a good student? What are the qualities of a good student? Based on my personal experience and research, I list below the qualities of a good student: (1) Attitude: Basically, a good student possesses the ability and willingness to learn new subjects even if they are not interesting. (2) Academic skills: Acquiring academic skills is the most important quality of a good student. The ability to read comprehensively, to write effectively, to speak fluently, and to communicate clearly are the key areas in which a good student must be proficient. Having skills in all these areas will make a student shine in class. (3) Ability: A good student has the ability to apply the results of his or her learning in a creative way and achieve goals. (4) Perceptiveness: How well a student can interpret and perceive meanings from a conversation greatly determines the quality of a good student. A good student always perceives the right meaning from a conversation, but an average student often misunderstands the original thoughts of the speaker or writer and derives a wrong conclusion. (5) Self-Discipline: Discipline in managing time is an important ability that every good student must possess. Delaying tasks, such...

...Children learn so quickly and even when they are exposed to a second language just once a week they still learn a lot. Within the first term they are able to recognise, understand and repeat what they have learnt. Three ways to support children learning a second language in the classroom: Use pictures or real objects when introducing new vocabulary words or concepts to help make connections in two different languages (example English and Spanish). Have a “show and tell” time when children bring favorite things from home. Use these opportunities to learn about what interests each child and what happens at home. Build on this knowledge to introduce new words and expand the child’s understandings. Be consistent and try to use the same words to say the same thing each time. Use a number of strategies, involving both verbal and non-verbal skills. Two ways to support the families of children learning a second language; I would assist the students in class with making flashcards to use at home. For many flashcards, visual aids such as pictures from magazines, drawings or even printed clip art can enhance comprehension and memory. Second I would get information from the community that they live in that would also support families. One example of a resource you can use to help plan for children learning a second language, with a summary and justification of your choice: ESL resources for English teachers can be found here, including printable flashcards, worksheets, lesson plan ideas...
