...Biography - Adolf Hitler Sherri Hiott MAN4304 Dr. Gisela Salas April 1, 2015 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Background 3 Charismatic Leadership 7 Transformational Leadership 7 Style Approach 8 Conclusion 6 References 7 Introduction Leadership does not have an exact definition. It can have different meanings to different people. “Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal” (Northouse, 2012, pg. 5). The process by which a person influences others to accomplish a goal or objective is carried out by applying their leadership attributes. A leader has a variety of attributes that affect how they accomplish their goal. These attributes include beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills. Leaders often are charismatic, good communicators, and have the ability to motivate (Northouse, 2012). Leadership normally combines a goal that coincides with the leader’s beliefs. Leaders are usually perceived in positive light, although just because you are a leader does not mean it is for a virtuous cause. The objective of some leaders can be immoral. This type of leader is referred to as a pseudo- transformational leader. This type of leader is “self-consumed, exploitive, and power oriented, with warped moral values” (Northouse, 2012, pg. 187). Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party and the Chancellor of Germany but the ramifications of his leadership had a devastating impact on Eastern...

...had something completely different in store for me. It challenged me to think beyond my boundaries, and join forces and communicate with the entire class to write about my topic and somehow make connections with them all. In Module I, about the article “writing and thinking analytically” By David Rosenwasser and Jill Stephen really showed me as a writer how to analyze; which was as the class went on was quite a difficult task for me. I had to understand “To analyze something is to ask what that something means” (Rosenwasser & Stephen, 1), I had become familiar with the way my thought process worked, and how I analyzed day to day things. And now I realized that analyzing is something we all do all the time without even thinking about it. And to become a better writer is to “become more aware of your own thinking process, building on skills that you already possess and eliminating habits that get in the way” (Rosenwasser & Stephen, 1). This class helped me to stay away from making judgements and steer closer to asking myself questions and explore outside of just agree and disagree. From doing the different assignments, I really found myself engaging more and more with the authors of the various articles. Like Linda Barry taught her class to take on creative forms of writing and thinking by asking her students to keep a diary where they had to draw instead of write, so they can "begin to notice when we notice something." (Barry, 2). I thought this was a very not only interesting...

Keywords:Project manegement; lean manufacturing; agile manufacturing; value stream mapping; VSM; supply chain management. 1 Introduction What Is a Project Manager? SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT Project management is the art of matching a project's goals, tasks, and resources to accomplish a goal as needed. We say "as needed" because one has limited time, money, and resources (human and machinery) with which to accomplish a goal. One can think of a project as a process. Figure 1 shows this process as a simplified block diagram. Figure 1: Simple Project Management System The process involves inputs and outputs. Successful projects "do the right things, with the right tools, and in the right way". SECTION 2: STAGES OF A PROJECT AND HOW TO COMPLETE THEM Stage 1: Defining the goals of the project: Garbage in equals garbage out. If you do not start a project with the correct goal(s), it is not likely you will accomplish the goal(s). This must be a team activity to ensure that everyone is given the opportunity to contribute and "buy-in" to what is going...

...Healing: a Biblical Guide to Finding Freedom from Sexual Sin and Brokenness, David Kyle Foster is right when he says, “One of the greatest problems that we have in dealing with pornography is that we do not recognize that it is evil. We minimize, rationalize, and deny the truth behind it. We do not repent for being idol worshipers and grieving the heart of our God” (205). Pornography not only destroys the man but it is ruining marriages, families, and even churches. It has created such a stronghold on men within the body of Christ that many have become neutralized from being any kind of force for the kingdom of God. Ephesians 6: 12 says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” (NASU). Pornography and sexual immorality are from the supreme ruler of darkness. It is one more device to draw men away from serving God. Pornography is not just a secular problem. It has infiltrated the church also. Unfortunate as it may be, Christian minister’s exposure for their involvement in pornography has resulted in severe consequences and has dealt a devastating blow to the witness of the church. The secret lifestyle it creates prevents men from fulfilling their full purpose for God and can only be exposed by the light of...

The surface was ready to take any form that education should cut into it...” (Adams, The Education of Henry Adams, “Washington.”) Henry Adams grew up in a world trying to deal with the mutability and tribulations of the 19th century. The movement of Unitarianism flowered in Boston in 1825, which eventually grew from a Christian sect to a syncretistic, multi-devotional amalgamation of something like religiousness. They focussed on the inherent goodness of man, so that if they are given basic but...

...In modern society there are many stresses not felt by previous generations, these pressures have increased significantly as we continue to create new and more complex human systems. In a society driven by wealth and an obsession with success we have begun to cloud our vision of what values we deem important. This can ultimately culminate in a feeling of being pursued and trapped and society’s mental health has subsequently deteriorated. Accordingly the Ministry of Health Statistics 2009 1/5 New Zealanders experience a mental disorder sometime during their life, of these only 39% have visited mental health services, the Ministry of Health also found that 4.5% of New Zealanders have attempted suicide with males being 3.6% more likely to commit suicide than females. This is also reflected in OECD (Organisation for economic co-operation and development) statistics, New Zealand currently has the highest rate of youth suicide, ages 15-24, in countries belonging to the OECD and 29th highest overall suicide rate. This is why I have decided to explore ‘the catalysts prevalent in established society which can be detrimental to our populations overall mental health.’ This theme is prevalent within the following combination of texts; Howl by Allen Ginsberg, Mental Cases by Wilfred Owen, Requiem for a Dream by Darren Aronofsky and Shutter Island by Martin Scorsese. These texts explore different aspects of the human psyche and of mental illness by examining these texts I hope to identify and...

...Nihilism!!! What is Nihilism? A common (but misleading) description of nihilism is the 'belief in nothing'. Instead, a far more useful one would substitute 'faith' for 'belief' where faith is defined as the "firm belief in something for which there is no proof." A universal definition of nihilism could then well be the rejection of that which requires faith for salvation or actualization and would span to include anything from theology to secular ideology. Within nihilism faith and similar values are discarded because they've no absolute, objective substance, they are invalid serving only as yet another exploitable lie never producing any strategically beneficial outcome. Faith is an imperative hazard to group and individual because it compels suspension of reason, critical analysis and common sense. Faith is "don't let those pesky facts get in the way of our political plan or our mystically ordained path to heaven"; faith is "do what I tell you because I said so". All things that can't be disproved need faith, utopia needs faith, idealism needs faith, and spiritual salvation needs faith. Fuck faith. The second element nihilism rejects is the belief in final purpose, that the universe is built upon non-random events and that everything is structured towards an eventual conclusive revelation. This is called teleology and it's the fatal flaw plaguing the whole rainbow of false solutions from Marxism to Buddhism and everything in between. Teleology compels obedience towards the...

...philosophy, and those who opposed the idea, maintaining that Darwin’s theories should not be applied to Homo sapiens…us and that these theories contradicted the most fundamental of moral beliefs and principles. Hence, Social Darwinism was born in all its controversy. However, despite the controversial nature of Darwin’s theories, science and its trends were held in high esteem in Victorian England. Through this, fraudulent governments and individuals motivated by greed for wealth and power were able to justify their actions by manipulating Social Darwinism to fit their purpose, claiming that if science said so, then it must be so. However, Social Darwinism was not confined to Victorian Society, for it soon became widespread across the world as it was manipulated by powerful and wealthy people using it to their own ends, with sometimes catastrophic consequences for those deemed inferior. More often though the forms in which Social Darwinism arose might be better described as benign. These manifestations were; imperialism, capitalism and colonialism,...

...In his 1932 novel, Brave New World, Aldus Huxley predicts a civilization that strives on the distraction of mindless pleasure. In his future, people are controlled by their desire for happiness, comfort, and satiation. They are taught to live without goals or dreams, without hard work and rewards. Instead, they are constantly rewarded, to the point that it is no longer something to look forward to or earn; it is simply a necessity of daily life. In his world, humans are so distracted by this constant stream of serotonin and dopamine, that they cannot see what is happening right before their eyes: they are being controlled. Sadly, we must admit there is some very eye-opening truth to Huxley’s prediction. Our overwhelming need for technology is becoming a source of mass unconsciousness, which could easily feed into Huxley’s idea of our future. Past generations, such as the Baby Boomers and Generation X, have less understanding and connection to technology than Generation Y. The internet has become an indispensable tool which is often taken for granted. It is so common that it no longer is seen as the vast plane of information and exploration that it is; but, instead is used merely for gaming, TV, and social media. Dr. Sally Nimon describes the difference between generations well when she states that “to Baby Boomers […] and even Generation X‐ers […] phenomena such as mobile phones and the internet represent tools that can aid them in the performance of their daily lives; to Millennials...

..."Oh, shut up!" says Claudia, blushing."1 may read the astrology column, but I certainly don't believe it. I just read it for fun. But, the fact is, during the past twenty-five years there have been thousands of alleged sightings of UFOs, and not a single one has led to any solid evidence of their existence. What do you make of that?" "I think we should look at this situation the other way around," Ralph says."Up until now, nobody has shown that UFOs don't exist, so I think we should give those people who claim they have seen them the benefit of the doubt. We should believe in UFOs and extraterrestrials until the sightings are proven false." "Well, okay. Let's suppose,just for the sake of argument, that I admit the existence of UFOs and t~eir little green drivers. How are we supposed to respond to them? What are we supposed to do?"C1audia asks. "For starters, we should extend an open invitation to them," answers Ralph."They may come from a dying planet where millions of their compatriots desperately strug gle for survival.Their sun may be burning out, their water supply exhausted, and their soil poisoned with toxic chemicals. Surely they deserve a second chance on a new planet." "Maybe so," Claudia says in a patronizing tone."And now that you mention it, we probably have a legal obligation to let them in. Our current immigration laws say that we have to admit at least ten thousand applicants annually, from every major nation. If those aliens would just sign the right papers, we'd...

...person below the age of eighteen and is a globally prevalent phenomenon. However, in India, as in many other countries, there has been no understanding of the extent, magnitude and trends of the problem. The growing complexities of life and the dramatic changes brought about by socio-economic transitions in India have played a major role in increasing the vulnerability of children to various and newer forms of abuse. Child abuse has serious physical and psycho-social consequences which adversely affect the health and overall well-being of a child. 1. CHILD ABUSE – BASIC DEFINITIONS “Child abuse or maltreatment constitutes all forms of physical and/or emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect or negligent treatment or commercial or other exploitation, resulting in actual or potential harm to the child’s health, survival, development or dignity in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust or power”. (World Health Organization) "Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or exploitation, or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm" (The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act – CAPTA) “Child abuse is a very complex and dangerous set of problems that include child neglect and the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse of children.” (MedicineNet.com) “Child abuse is the physical and/or psychological/emotional mistreatment...

...Palahniuk’s thoughts into the cinematic forefront. This increased the popularity of Palahniuk’s other works and placed him in the cannon of Post-modern American fiction. It is the issues of modern masculinity that grasps critics’ attention more so than any other Palahniuk themes. It is very apparent that masculinity has changed as a natural progression of modernisation. This dissertation will analyse masculinity as it is depicted in Palahniuk’s writings and explore Palahniuk’s intentions and beliefs. I will interpret the responses of select critics in order to gain some understanding of what Palahniuk deems to be the ideal model of masculinity in the modern world, beneath his post-modern twists, transgressive characterization and vecernal style. This discussion will attempt to uncover what Palahniuk portrays as the cause of emasculation, if anything at all. To begin I will discuss the excess of recent decades and how it has effected men’s lifestyle, in reference to money, media, consumerism and access to information. Following on from this I will discuss Palahniuk’s exploration of sex and sexuality in order to gain...

...built on the values of freedom? If this is true, which history has already proven it is, then why are we stripping the rights of our youth by requiring them to participate in mandatory volunteering? Before one can even begin to answer this they must also ask what is volunteering? In short it is offering to do something “freely”. Schools should not force our students to participate in volunteering, because they are inevitably causing the youth to be rebellious and devaluing the appreciation for true volunteering. While volunteering may be a seemingly good thing, mandatory volunteering causes young adolescents to rebel against community service and volunteer work. According to the Cognitive Evaluation Theory study, people tend to resist and lose interest in what is being asked of them when they feel they are being controlled by an outside source because of the human nature of individualism(Pearce 1).This is already seen in other school situations, such as with homework. Many children will often refuse to do rudimentary or simple homework assignments. Throughout history, volunteering has evolved into a cultural connection; a common characteristic of humans on a local, national, and global level is the desire to help one another. Although this statement is not necessarily true for every individual, most people feel an urgency to assist friends, family members, coworkers, and/or strangers in need or in crisis. Why should we volunteer? Many people donate their time for varying reasons...
