Traditionally, culture defined roles for men and women. Gender played a significant role in determining the respect that one was accorded in society. It is important to note that this has not been completely eliminated from our society to date. In this regard, it is not peculiar to find that there are certain chores that women only can attend to while others are set aside for men. Gender inequality has been the order of the day in many societies with women being regarded as being inferior whenever they are compared to men. However, despite the obstacles placed in women’s paths to prosperity, there are those women who have outdone men in various aspects. In the article titled Eveline, James Joyce has tried to depict various roles of women in society. These roles contradict or concur with how society has treated women historically. To begin with, women have been taken as the people who should take care of children and do some other house chores. Women were relegated to be only useful in the kitchen and bearing children. Even in the most modern societies nowadays, women are the ones who take care of every day to day activities of the house. Any mistake done by the children is mostly blamed on women. Society regards moral decay among children as a result of failure in the part of women to play their role of educating the children. In the article, this is depicted when it is Eveline who is left with the task of taking care of her younger siblings when her mother passes away. She has to practically ensure that everything about the young children’s affairs is done as expected. Moreover, the role of women in society is illustrated when the duty of purchasing groceries is left to Eveline yet there are others who could her. In addition, Eveline was the one who dusted the house each week. Traditionally, society assumed that women would not be able to do any other economic activity that would increase income of the family. As a result, all family income came from men. On the contrary, Eveline is depicted as a hard working lady who besides doing all the house chores has a store where she runs her business. This depicts a woman as being very responsible and hard working. Moreover, contrary to the opinion that women cannot provide for the family, it is seen that Eveline uses all her income in the house while the men of the house only give part of what they earn. Society also demands that women have to leave their parental houses and get married. This is what makes Eveline contemplate of getting married to Frank. She knows that she has to leave the house one day albeit this might take time. Nevertheless, women are not trusted with making any good decision. In this regard, while men are allowed to make their decisions regarding whom they want to marry, society expects that ladies should get approval from their fathers or other male members of the family. This gives Eveline’s father powers to restrict her from seeing Frank and having anything to do with him. In ord
Conscientiousness refers to “the degree to which a person is responsible, dependable, persistent, and achievement-oriented” (Daft and Lane 100). Conscientious people usually focus their efforts on a few goals and pursue them in a purposeful. It is hard to distract conscientious people when they are pursuing their goals. However, it is easy to distract less conscientious people. Conscientiousness mainly refers to how individuals undertake their activities instead of their relationship with other people (Daft and Lane 100). One may assume that conscientious people have poor relationships with other people. However, the reverse may be true. Low conscientiousness of employees is disadvantageous to an organisation. Employees whose personality has low conscientiousness are usually unable to motivate themselves to perform various tasks within the organisation (Lussier, Achua and Lussier 38). Motivation is a critical factor in the productivity of employees. Companies devise several strategies to motivate their employees. Therefore, individuals whose personality trait has low conscientiousness are likely to have low productivity. This is despite various efforts of the company to motivate the individual. Employees whose personality trait has low levels of conscientiousness are likely to exhibit aggressive behaviour. The aggressive behaviour is usually due to frustrations that the employee may be facing. Directing the aggressive behaviour towards other employees may be detrimental to the organisation. Aggressiveness may impair the productivity of the employee and ability of the individual to work in a group (Chamorro-Premuzic and Furnham 65). Organisations are an aggregation of people with different personalities. Therefore, from time to time, employees of the organisation may have conflicts due to differences in their personalities. Such conflicts usually begin due to disagreements on work related issues. Conflicts within the organisation may facilitate the exchange of ideas that may lead to innovation and increased productivity. However, it is vital for employees of the organisation to prevent the conflict from degenerating into a personal issue. This is because personality driven conflicts may polarise the workplace and distract the employees from their duties. In addition, aggravated personality conflict may make employees of the organisation quit the organisation (Rout and Omiko 245). Therefore, it is vital for an organisation to devise strategies that may help in solving personality conflicts. This is because ignoring the conflict would only aggravate it. It is critical for managers to devise strategies that would enable them personality conflicts effectively. Efficient handling of personality conflicts would help in improving employee retention and productivity. Managers should encourage employees to solve conflicts on their own (Rout and Omiko 245). Therefore, it is critical for managers to develop conflict resolution skills among the employees. Regardless of whether the employees solve the conflict on their own or whether they seek the assistance of the manager, the process of conflict resolution is usually the same.
Method Social norms could be defined as a set of appropriate behaviors accepted by society at a certain period of time. These patterns regulate peoples actions and the way they interact with other members of the community. For this reason, disregard these norms might be confusing for individuals who adhere to them. For the experiment, I decided to affect peoples personal space by engaging in very intimate interactions with them. On February 27, 2018, at 8.15 p.m., I came to different individuals at the entrance of Al Wanda mall and said “I tried to call you, twice, why didn’t you pick up? I got your number from (random name), and honestly, it hurt my feelings”. The given action is not considered appropriate behavior, and usually, it is accepted only by close people. Respondents belonged to different nationalities and were of different ages which apparently impacts the conclusion about how people react if a social norm is broken. Findings Discussing the experiment, I should first evaluate my feelings before, while, and after the planned breach. First, I was excited because of the plan. I also adhere to social norms and try not to disturb unknown people. That is why I was nervous and even scared because of hypothetic negative reactions or responses. However, communication with the first individual helped me to calm down. Hereafter, I felt confident and nonchalant during my conversations with respondents. After the experiment, I admitted mixed emotions. On the one hand, I felt uncomfortable because of the unusual character of actions I performed. On another, I was puzzled by some reactions. Additionally, there was a great relief that the experiment was over and I did not have to break social norms anymore. I should also outline two individuals responses to this intrusion. In the first case, I came to a tall Indian male in his early thirties. He was well dressed and looked solid. Thus, my appearance and actions obviously confused him. He was not able to understand what happened and stood with his mouth wide open. I noted that he started sweating and avoided looking into my eyes. Instead, he stared into vacancy without saying a word. It was apparent that he wanted me to disappear and stop bothering him. In the second case, I communicated with a short Filipino male of the same age. He wore informal clothes and looked at his phone. My question apparently surprised him and caused significant discomfort. He was confused and did not know what to do. However, in the middle of my speech, the man apologized calling me Madam, and walked away. He also tried not to look into my eyes as if he were afraid that it would make the situatio
Introduction The United States’ war in Vietnam and the American Revolution have a substantial influence on the history of the United States. The primary goal of this paper is to compare these events while using Mao’s phases of insurgency and finding a correlation between British and American problems. Mao implies that the participants of the war have to follow certain stages to avoid defeat (Perritt, 2008). The first intention is cultivating public support, the second phase aims at focusing on the particular areas while eliminating the power of the government, and the final attack eradicates the political regime (Perritt, 2008). Both events are associated with the changes in the administration, and public support is the requirement to cultivate the necessity of changes and military actions (Shabad & Slomczynski, 2010). Consequently, the presence of these matters explains the linkage of the United States’ war in Vietnam and the American Revolution to Mao’s stages of the insurgency. The First Phase The first stage implies the necessity of “building public support” and focusing on the limitations of military involvement (Perritt, 2008, p. 198). The support in Vietnam was a requirement, and the social opinion was vehemently affected by the press’ interpretation of the events (Gelpi, Feaver, & Reifler, 2009). The government tried to maintain social opinion at the desired level, but it declined. The core goal was to avoid the opposition, as it would have affected the division of the military. As for the American Revolution, public support was an obligation to change the political regime. Nonetheless, it was performed more aggressively, as the opponents of the changes were “ridiculed in public” and enforced to sign the required approvals (Morton, 2003, p. 83). In this case, the support was received at both events, but the tactics were different. The Second Phase The second stage implies the minimization of the power of the opponent’s government and aims at particular aspects (Perritt, 2008). The first goal of the United States in Vietnam was to lessen the communistic powers by attacking the south of the country and disenabling China’s support (Gibbons, 2014). The initial goal of these actions was to destroy the order in Vietnam by aiming at the political entities. In turn, the U.S.A. was also attacking the airbases to decrease Vietnam’s response to the attacks (Gibbons, 2014). The first acts of the American Revolution were portrayed with the assistance of the absence of desire to comply with various legal aspects such as Tea, Stamp, Sugar, and other acts (Morton, 2003). Nonetheless, events such as Boston Massacre were rather violent and unpredictable and could be considered as the first actions, which led to the rise of power in the United States of America (Morton, 2003). In this case, the primary difference is the disturbing nature of the events with the rising aggression to eliminate the power of Britain. The Third Phase As for the third stage, the final attack takes place to eliminate and modify the current regime (Perritt, 2008). In this instance, the subsequent actions in Vietnam could not
People are more inclined to pay attention to shortcomings than to talents. A special book written by Tom Rath, Strengths Finder 2.0 , helps everyone to find the talents which are hidden from the view. More than that, these talents help everyone to find the work which corresponds to their skills. This program helps you to change your attitude toward yourself and the surrounding world. In another case, you don’t understand the world if you don’t understand yourself. Everyone should fix on talents rather than on weak points. Nevertheless, weak points should not be neglected as far as everyone should improve their skills during their whole life. It is very important to be aware of your strong and weak points which help you to orient at the labor market. Having read this book, I have found out my five top talents: speaking, team building, risk management, financials, and leadership. All these talents will help me to be a good manager. Nevertheless, this book provides only general information and hints which help you to develop your talents. To find more precise information about human weak points and talents is not enough to read the book and analyze yourself. It is impossible to do it without professional consultation. More than that, many people are inclined to exaggerate or underestimate their talents. This analysis is not objective. Nevertheless, this analysis helps to find some talents which may help you to choose the most appropriate work. According to Strengths Finder , I am very skilled at communication. This talent helps me to settle difficult situations with the help of words and I think it will be useful when I’ll be the manager. As for team building, I am very fond of organizing different projects and it is very interesting for me to work in a team. Risk management is one of my strongest talents. I am a very risky person which is preferable for people working in the business. Business without risk is impossible. Every work presupposes different levels of risk. I like to work with financials as far as I am a calculating and accurate person. As for leadership, this talent is evident in all areas of my life
Interview The researcher succeeded to carry out an interview that involved two employees who work at Delta Air Lines, Inc. The two individuals gave different views regarding motivation and leadership approaches practiced by the management of Delta Air Line. The two respondents were referred to as person X and person Y in this research, for purposes of anonymity, which was necessary to gather unbiased information from the two individuals. In relation to motivation, person X pointed out that Delta Airline was a good company to work with since it recognizes the performance of employees. Specifically, he mentioned the Chairman Club, which was established with an aim of giving recognition to best performing employees. However, person Y was not happy about the role Delta Air Lines. She argued that Delta Airline benefitted much from recognition in relation to employees. Person Y emphasized that recognition benefited the company through low cost of operations while employees continued to suffer since they were given paltry salaries (Creswell 1998, p. 12). The two respondents showed similar reactions in relation to leadership approaches. Both person X and Y said that operating manuals provided by the management team enabled Delta Air Lines to attain excellent performance. They claimed that operating manuals issued to every department enabled the company to achieve its predetermined objectives. This is because operating manuals ensured that each department worked hard to achieve the set operating standards. Person Y accentuated that Passengers Service Manual, which is used by Customer Service department to track services delivered to clients, enabled Delta Air Lines to attain admirable performance. Introduction Hospitality in
Daily exercises and eating healthy are my personal health-enhancing behaviors. The main reason that triggered my health-enhancing behaviors is the realization that I was becoming obese and risked developing chronic illnesses. After careful examination, I realized that I was taking too many calories, and I did not exercise regularly. Consequently, there was a need to improve my health-habits. Maintaining health enhancing behaviors enables me to live a healthier and active life. Personal, goals, values and control are contributing factors associated with my health-enhancing behavior. The knowledge and perceived symptoms of dangers of obesity and anorexia also contribute to enhance my healthy behavior. While at the middle school, my personal health-compromising behavior was anorexia. As a result, I had a big body mass, making other students bully and avoid partnering with me during Physical Education Lessons. I could not tolerate being bullied for my fatness. Consequently, I developed a desire of losing weight. I developed a healthy weight reduction strategy and with the lapse of time, I managed to lose weight. However, instability of my health behavior was a barrier during the modification process. At times, I was unstable in practicing my health-enhancing behavior and got negative results. My attitude towards a healthy fulfilling life influenced my healthy living decisions. I can relate these attitudes to the health belief model of behavior change. Obesity increased my vulnerability to chronic illnesses, among them there are hypertension and osteoporosis. I believed that healthy eating and exercises could minimize obesity and chances of developing illnesses. I would relate the end of my health-compromising behavior to the cognitive behavioral approach. I was conscious and mindful of effects caused by anorexia and I wanted to improve my health. Consequently, I developed self re-energizing and monitoring techniques. I monitored behaviors that led to my unhealthy condition, recorded them and drafted an action plan. Through self-strength and motivation, I started evaluating accomplishments of my behavior. Being mindful of my health habits also enabled me to cultivate self-monitoring techniques and more importantly to make health-enhancing behavior. This approach worked because the energy and determination of behavior change came from deep within my heart. So far, I have managed to maintain a healthy life through practicing health-enhancing behavior. Relating my progress to the Trans theoretical model of behavior ch
When taking into account the specifics of daily health care and communication with patients, I would define the notion of spiritual care as the phenomenon of connecting the physical experiences of patients with one’s beliefs and perception of human life outside a purely biological point of view. Hence, spiritual care stands for the medical professionals’ ability to address the patients’ spiritual concerns and mental state while providing quality clinical care. Sometimes, a patient’s recovery heavily depends on the health care workers’ ability to discuss their motivation behind treatment and recovery in order for the patient to find a deeper meaning of their health challenges and their future. Such a point of view accords with the ideas outlined in the textbook, as the researchers perceive spirituality and holistic care as the professionals’ duty to understand and account for the patient’s worldview and spiritual values (Grand Canyon University, 2020). Furthermore, emphasis should be placed on the patient’s spiritual concerns regardless of the nurses’ spiritual and religious worldview. While it is not required for nurses to be religious in order to address spirituality, there is no place for ignorance and discrimination in health care. Genuine interest in one’s spirituality may be manifested with the help of the HOPE framework, which encourages the professional to start a dialogue on spirituality with no direct reference to religion and spiritual practices, focusing on the individual sources of hope and strength instead (Anandarajah, 2005). Additionally, it is highly recommended the spiritual preferences be recorded in one’s medical history in order for them to be visible to the whole professional team (Timmins & Caldeira, 2017). When speaking of my health care institution, the general hospital has a Chaplain who addresses the patients’ spiritual and religious concerns. However, the presence of a Chaplain does not free the nurses from the responsibility of discussing spiritual aspects with the patients, as such communication is vital for establishing a trusting nurse-patient relationship.
I recently read an article dated March 1, 2000 and titled “Save our children from the horrors of school sport” written by John Harris. Even though I agree with certain aspects of Mr. Harris’s article, I am concerned that it may not only misinform but also mislead readers about the reality of school sport. Mr. Harris writes that forward rolls were a major source of trauma, as he felt deeply ashamed whenever he had to do one. I understand that Mr. Harris must have felt embarrassed at not being able to perform a forward roll in front of the other students and his teachers, however, this is over-exaggeration as I am certain that an inability to do a forward roll in P.E. at school would not bother a child to this extent. In fact, by exaggerating to such a level, Harris is misleading his readers to believe that school sport actually causes “trauma” for children as young as six, this is certainly not true. In reality, most children at school enjoy and even look forward to perfect whatever they know in school sport as it allows them to exit their mundane classrooms to go outdoors and play with their friends. In reality, an online survey discovered that 44% of students held P.E. as one of their top three favourite lessons at school. The author states that he fails to see the connection between sport at school, Olympic Gold and world records for non-athletic children, who see sport as “public embarrassment”. While I agree that sport at school does not often lead to national glory for most non-athletic children, and that some children are embarrassed at being “picked last” in sport, I would like to point out that breaking world records is hardly the purpose of school sport. School sport primarily aims to keep students fit and healthy and to build teamwork in children that will be necessary later on in life. Furthermore, joining a sport team will compel the teen to stay healthy willingly without the pressure of losing weight later in life. The harsh reality is that an estimated one in four 11 to 15 year olds in the United Kingdom is obese, the proportion doubling in the last ten years. This is because of the presence of T.V., movies, video games and computers which have succeeded in keeping teens indoors by themselves rather than taking up a sporting activity with friends. Without school sport, more and more children will surely stay at home without exercise, and this figure will worsen still. Teens tend to worry more about their body image and associate it with self esteem; therefore most of those who spend much of their time indoors tend to suffer from low esteem unlike those who spend their time undertaking sporting activities (Barbara P. 2006). Sport and exercise are an important part in leading a healthy life, and this is why schools try to develop interest in sport from an early age. Mr Harris writes that games teachers have a harsh attitude towards the students and that one teacher eve
