Groups and Teams Members of groups and teams need to work together all the time for them to achieve their goals. Coordination is vital for any group carrying out a common task because failure to coordinate leads to confusion. Team leaders should be able to steer groups effectively towards achieving intended goals. In the case of Mighty tech, the group was unable to achieve its goals in a timely manner because its members lacked coordination. For instance, Ben and Beatrice disagreed on the approach to follow in order to complete the job in time (Wong 2009, p. 98). Beatrice felt that they needed to follow every detail carefully in order to complete the job in a professional manner hence defending her professional integrity. On the other hand, Ben felt that they should take an approach aimed at completing the task in time for his company to win the deal. Personal interests affected the performance of this group hence costing the ABCIB the deal to fund the intended merger. Ben wanted to complete the task regardless of its accuracy so that his employer can have the deal. As a result, Ben knew that he was going to have enormous bonuses if the task yielded fruits (Slack and Parent 2005, p. 50). On the other hand, Beatrice wanted to carry out her job in accordance with the set principles of accounting. She wanted to ensure that the reputation of her employer remained unquestioned. If Bryce had made everything clear to all team members, things could be easier as they could have focused on completing the task in favor of ABCIB. Team Effective Model (Input, throughput & Output) The team effectiveness model gives details on stakeholders’ contribution to the accomplishment of set tasks. For instance, there is the input which comprises of skills brought in by employees. For instance, in the case of Mighty tech workers provided professional skills in auditing the firm. There was diversity inexperience, and this is the reason why each individual in the auditing team was allocated tasks in their areas of expertise (Romer and Wolfers 2009, p. 72). For instance, Ben and Beatrice were expected to audit Mighty tech’s accounting books to come up with its financial position. Bryce and Bill were supposed to lead the two teams in order to ach
Introduction To conduct a case study, I selected a fictional character, Loki from “The Avengers” franchise. This character, even though he is a part of a fantastic world, allows to examine significant behavioral problems and develop a hypothetical treatment plan. Background Information The examined client, Loki, is technically an alien from the planet of Asgard, whose inhabitants are known as gods. Loki is described in legends and known by his acquaintances as an evil god, which is based on his typical behavior. Loki mostly preoccupied be constructing plans on conquering the world and sometimes tries to embody these plans. Such attempts have nearly ruined his family relationships and lead to his imprisonment several times. Among the primary issues affecting Loki’s mental health are the difficulties that he experienced in his childhood. He has felt inferior to his brother, Thor, who had the qualities valued in Asgardian culture: physical strength and luck in a battle, which Loki did not have. For this reason, he felt alienated, despised, and less valued by his parents than Thor. As a young adult, he learned that he is an adopted son, which worsened his relationships with his parents. In addition, Loki has been through an imprisonment in a supermax facility. After his release, the anger attacks began to occur more frequently than before, as well as anxiety attacks. Distrust and suspicion towards people are also the results of imprisonment. Loki is considered a person, who is constantly stressed out and unlikely to communicate in a sincere way. His acquaintances often feel repulsed by his mood swings and sudden bursts of aggression. Upon the start of the case management process, Loki has denied the excessive intake of alcohol and any intake of drugs. The medical information about Loki is currently unavailable due to the fact that he has an extraterrestrial origin. He is currently under various medical examinations and tests, which are to determine if he can undergo any medical treatment. A cultural component may affect the treatment as well. In Asgardian culture, only physical damages are recognized as medical problems, and it is not common to believe that mental problems need treatment. The fact that Loki is affected by this view makes the treatment more complicated. Current Behaviors At the moment, Loki is concerned about his addiction with evil plans and alienation from family, as well as friendlessness. As it was mentioned above, Loki is demonstrating frequent mood swings. He often goes through anger attacks, during which he breaks things and screams at other people. While having an anxiety attack, he feels like people around him are planning to imprison him again. Loki feels uncomfortable and distrustful when someone tries to help him. Current and
The Catholic Churchhas expressed human rights issues in various platforms since time immemorial.In recent times, the Magisterium of the Roman Pontiffs has been used as the principle means of human rights interventions. The Popes have successfully used Encyclicals to convey various facets of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church. Consequently, the social doctrine, (preceded by the excellent input of Leo XIII and augmented by the consecutive contribution of the Magisterium) has been integrated into doctrinal corpus (Paul II2). This paper will therefore discuss some Catholic teachings on human rights issues. The Encyclical of Paul VI (which declares that the social issue is a global phenomenon) brings out a moral fact based on an objective assessment of the reality. In this context, the originality of the Encyclical PopulorumProgressio gives credence to the moral evaluation of the social issue. As a result, politicians and inhabitants of rich countries viewed as individuals (particularly if they are Christians) have the moral duty to take into consideration the relationship between their behaviorand the poverty that is prevalent among millions of people. In the Encyclical, Pope Paul VI terms this moral duty as the duty of solidarity (Paul II 7). Alternatively, the originality of the Encyclical Populorum Progressio also addresses the fundamental concept of development (perceived within the universal interrelationship framework) which changes significantly. Real development cannot be realized if accumulation of resourcesis done at the peril of human development and without due consideration for the spiritual, cultural and social dimensions of the masses. The concept of development (viewed as the social doctrine of the Catholic Church) is aptly captured in the concluding para
Abstract Manuel’s theory of knowledge focuses on the way people perceive the reality of things, basing on their prior experiences. The theory states that, the ability to understand something is rooted from the prior experience with a similar situation. More precisely this theory of knowledge tries to examine in depth; the relationship between rationalism and empirialism. To a greater extent, Manuel succeeds in bringing out the distinction between rationalism and empirialism and also showing the link between the two. This research paper will therefore bring out the links that exist between rationalism, and imperialism in real life applications. Introduction Rationalism can be defined as the ability to sense using prior experience, over a certain complex life situation. At a more precise level, rationalists are those individuals who judge issues or situations basing on what they already know (Manuel, 2011: 254-260). Emperialism on the other hand refers to the ability to determine how a past experience, can influence the choices that we make by first applying a sensory test. Basing on this statement, therefore, empirialists have to carry out a rigorous test to determine the relationship between the decisions that individuals make, and the prior knowledge affecting the decisions making. Rationalism and empirialism according to Manuel are interrelated in the sense that, they complement each other (Manuel, 2011: 254-260). On the above basis, therefore, both rationalists and empirialsts seem to perceive different phenomena on the same basis but just that they vary in their methods of introspection. Rationalism According to Manuel, rationa
Introduction People consider recruitment and selection process as part of the most important domains in human resource management. Companies that conduct the process in the right manner as required often succeed when it comes to tapping new talents for enhanced productivity in the companies. According to Huselid (1995: 23), It should however be noted that, a number of companies that fail in the process face a lot of difficulties and rather than inviting success for the company or organization, the recruitment and selection processes become the starting points of the company’s downfall. My organization, ABC marketing Company faces a serious problem because of the inefficiency in the recruitment and selection processes. The nature of the problem in ABC Marketing Company ABC marketing company has been experiencing loses because of failure in the human resource department. This problem prevails amid the company spending many resources in the ventures in an effort to get the best people for positions that arise in the company or replacing workers who leave the company (Protosky 2004: 43). Whenever the need for recruitment and selection in the company arises, the venture turns out as a waste of resources since it is repeated again after every two months due to reported incompetence among the newly recruited employees. Experts have proved several causes as well as reasons that result to the failure of the recruitment and selection process. If the causes were amicably resolved, ABC Marketing Company would avoid the associated loses of material resources, finances as well as time. Causes of the problem The major causes of the problems that ABC marketing Company faces in handling the recruitment and selection venture include vague description of jobs. Unclear job description ABC’s human resource management personnel have been handling the process with laxity, which makes them define the jobs for which they invite applications. This leads to people who lack the necessary skills for the specific positions getting chances only for others to discover their uselessness in the company later. This also results to the leaving out of others who seem more qualified and ones who could have handled the positions better once granted the chance. The issue of adverting of the jobs still raises alarm. A failure to advertise the job openings effectively Failure to embrace technological advancements when
The family is a whole world in which the child lives, acts, discovers, learns to hate, love, rejoice, and sympathize. As a member, the child enters into a certain relationship with parents, which can have negative and positive effects on him/her. The result is that the child grows either friendly, open, sociable, or anxious, rude, hypocritical, deceitful. The writing Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka is a crucial and relevant illustration of how family disturbance and lack of support affect the child. For example, the main character of the book says, “I stopped counting on her a long time ago” (7). He mentions that phrase regarding his mother, who is an addict. It is often underestimated that proper parenting is highly important in order to give children both good mental and physical health. The given literary analysis will focus on the influence of parenting and family on kids. Children growing up in an atmosphere of love and understanding have fewer health problems, difficulties in studying at school, communicating with their peers, and vice versa; as a rule, violation of parent-child relationships leads to the formation of various psychological problems and complexes. In the book, Hey, Kiddo , the main character says, “I don’t like asking her for anything” (7). The young boy shows a great deal of hate and anger towards his mother, which should not be occurring in the family. The most universal, the most difficult, and the noblest work, one for all and at the same time unique in every family, is the creation of a human. A distinctive feature of this work is that a person finds incomparable happiness in it. Continuing the human race, the father and mother repeat themselves in the child, and the moral responsibility for the person and his/her future depends on how conscious this repetition is (Arnold et al. 859). Every moment of that work, which is called education, is the creation and look into the future. Raising children is similar to giving away special and spiritual forces as soon as a person cries out to the world about his/her birth, actions, and behavior. Children, having begun their lives as completely helpless creatures, receive so much from their parents that the latter naturally engender in their feelings of gratitude, love, and a kind of pride in their father and mother (Martinez and McDonald 6). Not only help and care of parents but also participation and caress of them play a role in this. Children who are orphaned early or for some reason lost their father or mother, often later, in their mature years, feel bitterness, anguish from the lack in their memories of parental caress, family joys, untested kid’s feelings. On the contrary, those who have experienced happiness, which is given by any good family life, recall that t
Fascism was a radical dictatorial system of creating nationalism. The fascists tried to create autocratic states through mobilization of communities. Fascism spread quickly in Europe in the 1920s and the 1930s. Fascists replaced all parliamentary regimes with their new systems in countries where their movements succeeded. The major fascist leaders included Benito Mussolini in Italy, Hitler who led the National Socialism in Germany and Franco who ascended to power after Spain’s Civil War. Such movements were also present in other European countries including Netherlands, France, and Great Britain where the revolution was mild. This paper will discuss in detail the Right in France, Stalinism and the Nazi regime. The Right-wing movements in France were greatly concerned in what happened in Italy led by Mussolini. The French Revolutions included the Action in France and the Popular Front that was a thrilling moment in the history of France. Mussolini was prominently featured in many French magazines. This served as a catalyst to the revolutions in France. Drieu La Rochelle was among the people who found the Right-wing movement (Merriman 34). He was determined to end social strife in France through restructured industries. He called his new structure medieval Christianity. Another movement at that time was Action Françoise led by Charles Mauras. Their expansionist ideology encouraged France to capture natural Frontiers including the Rhine River. Catholics and Right-wing extremists had comparable ideologies of revolutions, but Catholics could not join the movements because they feared excommunication. The popularity of the movement had spread so fast that it scared the Pope, having forced him to rebuke it in 1926. The Crossfire was one other movement that was very violent and recruited former war veterans. These movements kept growing in numbers with their financiers coming from production industries. Adolph Hitler shared many similarities with Benito Mussolini in his rise to power. He believed in modern technology, inspiring many Germans, for example, to buy radios. He was the most atrocious leader who converted assembly lines into fields of mass murder. Polish Jews were transported in huge trail loads to assembly lines at Auschwitz where they were killed. The aftermath of World War I saw the rise of Nazism, racism, and racial purification (Merriman 56). The socialists in both Germany and Austria held demonstrations that formed the foundation of revolutionary movements. Hitler led
Methodology There are various methods of collecting data in research. Some of the methods include the use of interview schedules, where respondents are asked questions and the respondents respond directly while the researcher records the answers. The use of questionnaires is also another method. This is where the researcher drafts questions on paper and distributes them to the respondents so as to answer them. This can either be mail questionnaire whereby questions are mailed to the concerned respondents and they answer them and mail back to the researcher. This however is not a reliable way of collecting data. The letters can get lost on the way or misplaced and may not reach the intended persons. It is also the most expensive method of collecting data since the researcher has to attach stamps which will be used to email back the respondent’s answers. If the researcher does not attach the stamps the respondents would not likely spend his money on another person’s work. Direct questionnaire is another method where the researchers distribute to the respondents and wait to be filled and collect them for analysis. It is the best method though the respondents may not be willing to fill in the blank spaces. Some of the respondents might be illiterate or have no time to fill the questions asked. It is also an expensive method because the researcher has to print the questions to be asked. Another method of data collection is observation method. It is the most convenient method of collecting data. This is because the researcher does not have to bother anybody when conducting a research. This involves behaviors being observed by researcher and recorded. It does not involve direct contact with the respondents. The researcher establishes the target population where research will be conducted. Every activity that takes place is observed by the researcher (Salehnia, p. 158). Introduction A research was conducted concerning ethical issues of internet privacy. This consists of individuals using internet in a confidential way. It involves not exposing so much information about oneself through the internet. It has become great concern for people to be sensitized on the importance to keep their information private when using the internet services. This involves being private on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and many other chat services. The information of individuals should not be revealed so much. This is done in order to discourage internet crimes. The personal information which is provided should be protected. This is done by implementing various policies on the information privacy. Personal information should
Whaling, or whale hunting, is one of the most hotly debated topics among the environmentalists and conservation activists. It is dealt with officially for at least three decades since the implementation of the ban on commercial whaling by the International Whaling Commission. Still, the problem persists, mainly because of the unlicensed whaling and the legal and procedural loopholes in the ban that allow major actors to continue the practice. Moreover, the decision to forbid whaling is constantly challenged on a legal and ethical basis. The main arguments of the pro-whaling activists are its economic significance, the relative harmlessness to the environment, the scientific importance, and cultural and national tradition. The anti-whaling activists challenge the former three arguments and point to the cruelty of the process and the adverse environmental effects resulting from it. Despite being widely publicized, constantly brought to public attention, updated and revised, and well supplied with solid data on both sides of the argument, the case of whaling is far from conclusive, with many operations that deny even the current restrictions continuing despite the efforts to cease them. Whaling is an old practice, with some evidence pointing as far as 3000 BC as the first examples. Of course, these instances were never something more than harvesting whales that were stranded ashore, or, in some cases, hunting in the coastal waters. The first major commercial whaling practices were conducted in the seventeenth century, with the emergence of powerful fleets in several naval countries. At this point, some countries, like Norway, Iceland, Japan, and Greenland exhibit strong economic interest in whaling as countries that are historically dependent on fishing and hunting. After the industrial revolution, the mechanization of vessels and the availability of equipment further boosts the process, and several new actors emerge on the scene, including the USA, Britain, France, and Russia. Another notable milestone of the industry occurs during the beginning of the twentieth century, with the introduction of the factory ships. Such ships were capable of processing the products of whaling, initially limited to oil, on board in the open sea. Subsequently, their capabilities broadened to utilize other parts of killed whales, greatly increasing efficiency. Of course, one should not forget that such an increase in productivity meant more whales could be hunted during a single run. The population of whales continued to decrease at an alarming rate, which has led to the formation of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1946. The goal of the commission was to control and regulate whaling practices. The most significant of these is a moratorium on commercial whaling, issued in 1982. The moratorium contains some notable exceptions, including whaling quotas for certain indigenous communities and permits for whaling for scientific research. Both of these regulations were themselves subject to criticism as they have since proven to be loopholes allowing to maintai
The strict logic of the era of classicism, presented in the works of Cesare Beccaria, speaks of the full responsibility of a person for his misdeeds. According to this theory, any person is accountable for what is being done, since people as a whole are looking for satisfaction from their actions. Consequently, the actions of the criminal are conditioned by the rational pursuit of profit or pleasure. The rational theory was developed in order to prevent crime and proceeds from the fact that before committing a criminal act, a person rationally weighs his benefits, chances, risks and opportunities. However, the modern criminologist Katz writes about a special type of pleasure associated with experiencing an acute situation, as well as with the sensations from the location where the crime is committed. Speaking about the history of punishments, one should characterize their evolution and purpose. The classicists adhered to the principle of tit for tat. Their followers, neoclassicists, believed that punishment should serve as a sign of suggestion for society in the name of preventing the very idea of ​​committing further similar crimes. They proceeded from the rational theory that the cruelty of punishment should stop a person from committing a crime, since they simply would not take such a risk. In this context, it is interesting to consider the judicial case of the murder of Travis Alexander by his ex-girlfriend Jody Arias. Based on the thoroughly documented legal proceedings, it follows that the murder was committed by a sociopath, capable of not showing destructive aspects of his behavior for a long time (Sartreschi, 2017). Arias and Alexander’s relationship can be characterized as toxic and codependent, increasingly showing unsettling precursors to the outbreak of violence that has occurred. Speaking of the level of elaboration of Jody’s plan, it appears as spontaneous, but nevertheless rationally put into action. Arias expresses absolute intransigence in the implementation of his plans, regardless of their rationality. This applies not only to her crime, but also to the odious defense strategy in the courtroom. Reference Sartreschi, C. M. (2017). Jodi Arias: A case of extreme violence. Violence and Gender, 4 (3).
