Introduction The language that children use amongst themselves sharply contrasts that which they use when talking to adults. According to Veltman (38), communication goes beyond the ability to pass information from one person to the other. It entails the manner in which, the information is passed, non-verbal cues that are involved, and the level of respect that one has with the people being spoken to in a given setting. Some other issues that would be analyzed in a speech include the tone of voice, eye contact, facial expression, and the volume of the speech. The manner in which, a child would talk to peers would be very different from when the dialogue involves an adult. In this research paper, the focus is to determine the difference in language of children when speaking to peers, and when they speak to adults. Discussion According to Alatis (56), the language of children vary a great deal when they talk to their peers, and when they talk to the adults. This scholar says that the relationship that exists between two or more individuals engaged in a dialogue will always define their pattern of speech. When children are engaged in a speech amongst themselves, they always feel relaxed. They have no pressure of trying to please someone with their speech, or show some sense of respect that is not necessary. For that reason, they always get into their speech without feeling intimidated. In most of the cases, their language may be informal, unstructured, and meant to create some fun. The Transcript of Darien and Hanna shows a dialogue between the two siblings. It can be seen that the two are engaged in a healthy dialogue where no one feels inferior towards the other. Although Darien is three years older than Hanna, they both view each other as peers. They talk freely without excessive formalities. This would not be the case when they are talking with adults. At times the voice may be unnecessarily high, especially when they are in a group. Voice may also be raised in cases where these children feel that they are being ignored by their peers. The dialogue between Darien and Hanna shows this. When Darien mocks Hanna by calling her a baby, she gets mad at him and yells at him to shut up. From this statement, it comes out clearly that when children are talking amongst their peers; they speak their mind freely and without any form of fear. It is not common for a child to rebuke an adult even in cases
The general argument of the article “Corporations Must Become Socially Conscious Citizens” Companies are ultimately concerned in making profits for their shareholders. In pursuit of this quest, companies will often impact on diverse groups of people and environments. Such groups of people, often referred to as stakeholders, include employees, communities, investors and clients amongst others. In the prevailing economic hardships, companies concentrating on maximizing profits at the expense of stakeholders contribute to the poor perception of the corporations and executives who run them. In some extreme cases, such poor perception and social anger may lead to social unrest such as occupy Wallstreet movement. In this context, corporations are viewed to be overly concerned with sales and the resultant profit making at the expense of value creation for the stakeholders and a sense of responsibility towards them. Emerging notion of capitalism holds the view that a corporation’s guiding compass ought to be value creation for the stakeholders as well as a duty of responsibility towards them. This notion of capitalism is aptly named ‘conscious capitalism’, ‘enlightened business’ or in a derogatory form ‘enlightened self-interest’. It maintains that a corporation’s existence ought to be more than just a profit-making mechanism for shareholders. In this model of business, profit making is viewed as a byproduct of the creation of value for the shareholders. In the long run, conscious capitalism contributes to profit making in a win-win scenario for the stakeholders on one hand and the shareholders on the other hand. Proponents of conscious capitalism maintain that it serves the interests of the shareholders better. Some of the major benefits of conscious capitalism include increase in efficiency in running social programs and humanitarian based programs. Such programs often pay administrative and logistical skil
Walter Disney and his life have always been a mystery even to the contemporaries, not to mention the researchers of the XXI century. A creator, innovator, and genius, on the one hand, and a panic-stricken perfectionist, on the other hand, Disney had a number of issues, which were predisposed by the cringe inducting factors that Disney was exposed to throughout his entire life, which such theories as the Five-Factor Model of Personality, Intrapsychic Factors (Interpersonal Theory) and Neurobehavioral Dimensional Model may help define. By taking a closer look at some of the peculiarities of the environment in which Disney lived at different stages of his life in, one can possibly define the source of the major disorders that Disney had, as well as spot the manifestations of these disorders in some of the works of the great animator. As it has been stressed above, the research is going to be carried out with the help of such theories as the Neurobehavioral Dimensional Model, Intrapsychic Factors, which belong to the Interpersonal Theory realm, and to Five-Factor Model, which can be described as one of the subcategories of the Theory of Personality Disorder. Granted that the theories listed above have been tested a number of times and are considered full-fledged basis for conducting significant researches nowadays, it is important to keep in mind that, according to Lenzenweger and Clarkin, first, a number of factors affecting the psychological development of an individual have not been defined, and, second, due to the unique reactions that an individual may display when coming into contact with certain factors (Lenzenweger & Clarkin, 2004), detecting the source of a certain psychological feature or disorder, or even a trait of character is quite problematic. That being said, it can be assumed that the theories in question can possibly shed some light on how Disney’s personality was shaped and how the process of his personality development affected his art. Walt Disney: A man who helped dreams come true (2010). There is no secret that, fort the most part, the basis for the character features that most people acquire when they are well past their adolescence is usually created in the early child
Introduction For the purposes of this assignment, the author located two recent articles pertaining to organizational behavior and analyzed them. They found both papers using the Google Scholar search engine and the keywords “organizational behavior.” The “Since 2017” filter was set to ensure that the articles in question were contemporary and reflected recent developments in research on the topic. Both of the documents selected were chosen because they were in open access, whether directly through a publisher or through an alternate scientific database. They also come from reputable journals and have been published already instead of being relegated to online-only advance print articles. The information necessary to access each article is contained within the References section, which has DOI links available. The following section will provide a summary and critique of each of the articles based on the author’s reading of them. Unethical Pro-Organizational Behavior and Positive Leader–Employee Relationships The first article discussed is that by Bryant and Merritt (2019), which concerns instances of unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB) and their relationship with leader-employee relationships. The authors recruited 378 workers at Amazon Mechanical Turk and used a number of surveys to quantitatively assess their unethical behavior, perceived interpersonal justice, leader-member exchange, moral identities, and positive reciprocity beliefs. They came to the following conclusions:  1. A positive supervisor-employee relationship may make the latter more likely to behave unethically in the company’s favor;  2. UPB is prosocially-motivated to a large extent, as opposed to other types of unethical activities;  3. Employees who believe they are treated fairly are less likely to engage in UPB than counterparts who perceive their treatment as just;  4. Individual moral values do not moderate the relationship between leader-member exchanges and UPB significantly;  5. UPB is based on trust that the behavior will be rewarded and is not associated with cognitive positive reciprocity beliefs. The article challenges the traditional views on UPB, which tend to assert that, like other varieties of unethical behavior, it tends to stem from negative worker traits. Moreover, there is an assumption that the corporate environment tends to pressure workers into acting unethically to preserve their jobs, whether due to fear of the company suffering economic damage and having to lay them off or retribution for refusing immoral requests. Per this study, the decision to take such actions may instead be informed by loyalty to the company, with the employee willing to take a personal risk because they believe the business will acknowledge and compensate them. The narrative appears to be compelling, at least for workers in positions without significant responsibilities, such as those investigated in the study. With
Abstract Rape is probably one of the most misunderstood crimes today and equally practiced worldwide regardless of race, nationality, religion or ethnicity. This paper therefore seeks to create awareness to people about the ever-increasing knowledge on the crime of rape and the effects on victims. It also focuses on the motivations for rape since not all rapes are the same. Rarely do women rape men even though it happens in some cases. Men may rape fellow men, but most cases reported involve women. This may be done for sexual gratification, anger, sadism or expression of dominion. (Dean and de Bruyn- Kops, 1982). Several theories have been postulated regarding rape. Ellis (1989) in his book on theories on rape identifies three that is Feminist theory, Evolutionary theory and the social learning approach. Rape is a form of crime that is on the rise and more measures should be formulated to curb the vice. We also need to find out the reasons behind rape, how to overcome them and rehabilitate the offenders. Introduction Since time immemorial, the issue regarding rape has been one of the focuses of many nations. Effective actions to combat the crime have not been successful and therefore call for better understanding of the reasons for committing the crime. It actually happens when one is forced or coerced into an unwanted or forced sexual intercourse. It happens to men, women, and children too. Rape may occur in the vagina, anus, or mouth. Some rapists use drugs or alcohol to blind the judgment of their victims in order to carry out the act without any bother. (Allison and Wrightsman. 1993) Rape is a felony as it causes physical and psychological trauma to the victim. There is a lot of misleading information regarding the frequency of rape, characteristics of rapists, and the recovery of survivors. There is a need to carry out further research on this threat if it is to be fully understood and eventually eradicated. Recent post poll violence in Kenya (East Africa) left numerous rape cases in its wake. The Waki Commission 1 Report on post election violence in Kenya has unearthed the involvement of the Kenyan Police in sexual crimes against women. According to the report, there was a massive conspiracy by the police to cover up sex crimes they committed during the post 2007 general elections. The police turned against the women fleeing and raped them instead of offering them security. (gendergovernancekenya.org). This shows that this problem runs deep and requires a holistic approach that will ensure that rape cases are not processed through a crooked system that will not achieve justice Methodology A s
Humans are often predisposed to the willingness to remain a part of the crowd and change their behaviors to remain adherent to common values and aspirations. Research related to the concept of the influence of the community on individual humans relies on the notion of herd mentality (also known as pack mentality or mob mentality). The latter means that the ‘herd’ averts relying on their own instincts and chooses to follow the chosen group’s mentality (Sanderson, 2021). As a result, the herd turns out to be majorly ignoring the changes occurring within their natural environment, as they are preoccupied with following the rules of the herd. The United States Capitol recently became a victim of mob mentality, with numerous people committing criminal acts merely because other protestors near them chose aggression as their primary instrument of protesting. The scenes of the Capitol being attacked could be compared to the era when the US was flooded with lynching and violence. From the sociological point of view, herd mentality is a dynamic concept that can change under the influence of external factors. The existing research on the subject yet has to be extended because the power of the collective mind and its destructive potential should be investigated further. The key idea about the recent insurrection of the US Capitol or any instance of aggressive herd mentality is that crowds are unpredictable and rarely display humility when confronted by law enforcement (Charness & Chen, 2020). The causation behind protests is often linked to the inability of human nature to avoid the process of selection when they prefer to conform to the group rules instead of capitalizing on their individuality. The perceived like-mindedness among the members of the ‘herd’ is what usually moves the group forward and motivates them to perform unexpected acts of violence. In both psychological and sociological studies, it is clearly stated that the fact of being in a group completely changes individual behavior, causing people to alter their worldviews to be able to remain a part of the target group (Charness & Chen, 2020; Ma et al., 2017). The social mind was shaped in a way that forces humans to join the cause if they feel like it could improve their individual lives as well. The so-called bystander effect becomes a reality, and even the most distant individuals start participating in activities they would have never taken place in otherwise. These activities may range from helping a person in the street to attacking the US Capitol, apparently, making herd mentality one of the crucial contributors to the most moving events across the country (
Effect of pricing on competitors Players in the same industry are more likely to sell their products with the same margin however sometimes individual company may need to sell its product either higher or lower depending with the prevailing condition. When selling higher than once competitors, the company should ensure there is value for money; the products must have something unique than that one offered by its competitors. Despite the high cost, customers will be kept coming by the quality that the company is able to offer for instance when the company offers a unique products or it is the first one to offer a certain product in the market, then it can adopt premium pricing model at the introduction of the product to attract higher gains but offer the required quality by the customer (Kerin & Peterson, 2009). There are times that a designer shop may be know of selling its goods cheaply than the prices set by its competitors; in such a case, the company needs to ensure that the fact that the goods are cheap does not mean that the quality has been compromised; there should never be a trade off, the only thing that can make the commodity cheaper is economies of scale, trade discounts, reduced profit margins, and some occasi
South Africa is a country located in the southern part of Africa. It is the leading country in Africa in terms of aspects considered as effective in the developed countries. These aspects include an established economy, a stable political framework, employment, education, and civilisation. Other countries in Africa have not yet reached this level of standard that South Africa has attained because of various factors discussed later in detail in this essay. One of the things that contributed to the development of South Africa is the dominance of the whites in the country. The whites do dominate various sectors that are found in South Africa. They are the ones that dominate the economy of the country, they hold key political seats in the country, and are the major investors in the country. These whites started settling in South Africa during the colonial periods when the Dutch and the British colonized the country. Even after independence, they did not vacate but instead opted to remain and settle in South Africa. By then, the Blacks in South Africa were not civilized apart from a few and this is how the majority of the whites took the key areas in the affairs of the country. They took the advantage but with time, the blacks have now acquired education and exposure that has made them to be civilized. They have started to realize their capabilities, potentials, and rights (Adam & Giliomee 1983: 59). This has led to the black people in South Africa desiring to be holding the key areas in the affairs of their country. They have realized how the white man has been enjoying the resources that belong to South Africa and want them back at all cost. They are intending to send the whites out of these key positions but the whites are not willing because they do not have any place to go and they also have established themselves in such a way that letting it go is almost becoming impossible. This state has created tension in the entire country since the two parties’ whites and the blacks are now almost equal in terms of civilization, financial capabilities, and political influence and so on. This situation may cause the Africa’s super power to fall rapi
Industry Analysis One of the most important industries in Australia is the coal mining that is contributing a major part in employment generation, electricity production, and partially large export earnings in the entire economy. However, a better focus on the Australian coal industry can be formulized through the following discussion- It is said that coal industry is the integral part of Australian economy. Thus, this task is essentially hi- tech and sophisticated which is incorporated with continuous technological improvements, professional health care and safety and environmental concern that are most effective to recognize the country as world’s most loyal and qualified cooking and thermal coal producer for the global market. As Australian European settlement has contributed greatly for some important ports, most of the coal industries are situated particularly in NSW and Queensland that are motivated by a tight service and equipment. The country is also expert in standard design, transportation and loading, technological advancement, training, managing project and finally operational construction of mines. Regarding the possible resources of the coal industry for the year 2006, following chart would make a clear sense- State                  Underground  Open Cut    Total        * New South Wales      * 19,530     * 14,580    * 34,110   * Queensland           * 12,080     * 17,300    * 29,380   * South Australia      * 2,450      * 3,100     * 5,550    * Western Australia    * 890        * 1,300     * 2,190    * Tasmania             * 500        * 20        * 520      * Total                * 35,450     * 36,300    * 71,750  According to the statistics of 2006, 118 mines were engaged in the production of black coal, in which New South Wales had 62, Queensland had 49, South Australia had 1, Western Australia had 3 and Tasmania had 3 mines. While the year 1997 represented 60 open- cut and 58 underground mines, those are significantly re
