Speaking about school and different practices implemented in order to achieve success, it is important to remember that there are a few principles that help to improve the performance of any team or organization. It can be supposed that the identified principles are universal because they can be manifested in the work of different organizations related to various spheres of activity. It is supposed that every change starts with small things and then grows rapidly. As for the example from my organization, I suppose that there were many cases when this principle was relevant to my practice at school. Two years ago, all teachers were asked to pay more attention to the use of new equipment. In the very beginning, this innovation was not accepted by some people who belonged to the older generation, and it was concluded that the measure could be called useless. Nevertheless, one teacher who had more than twenty-five years of practice tried to use it and she gradually became a positive example even for younger teachers. In the end, the new practice became extremely popular among the teachers at our school. According to the second principle mentioned in the chapter “Entering School” of Senges’ “Schools That Learn”, the personal commitment remains an essential component related to the work of any educational institution. I suppose that this principle works at any school because everyone knows that it is impossible to force other people to do something that seems to be boring and unnecessary to them. I remember two colleagues whose attitudes to work were totally different. One of them was quite active, she was likely to accept the initiatives proposed by the administration if she considered them to be helpful for her students. Her co-worker was living in accordance with another principle, he was just trying to fulfill his personal plan and explain the information related to the subject to his students. Therefore, it was also obvious that the students of the first teacher were more active; they tried to contribute to the success of the school whereas the second teacher was not able to motivate his students. As for me, this story illustrates the importance of personal commitment that

Edward Steichen (1879–1973) is one of the central figures in the history of photos. For his energetic career, which endured over half the life span of photography, he was famed as an artist, fashion photographer, writer, and technical modernizer. He was also an ardent supporter for photography as an art, and led, along with Alfred Stieglitz, an artistic rebellion that enabled photo to be regarded as a medium competent of understanding and appearance and not as a mere documentary record of imaginary facts. (Eisinger, 1995) Steichen engaged in photography in 1895, when he was sixteen, and had nothing but self-teach. During his career, he was associated with an approach of photography named Pictorialism. The Pictorialists sensed that the aesthetic pledge of photo lay in a simulation of painting. Steichen’s early work, then, took lots of Pictorialist techniques (a jiggled tripod, a lens bathed in glycerin, or various darkroom tricks) created to manufacture “painterly” soft-focus upshots. Steichen made the photo in Mamaroneck, New York, near the house of his pal, art critic Charles Caffin. The photo attributes a wooded territory and pond, with moonlight appearing between the trees and reflecting on the dew pond. While the print is a color photo, the first true color photographic processing, the autochrome process, was not achievable until 1907. Steichen created the feeling of color by physically applying layers of light-receptive gums to the paper. (Eisinger, 1995) Edward Steichen intentionally founded a style for a whole group of photographers who photographed marine actions in the Pacific under his control. Wayne Miller remembered: “It was Steichen’s prime concern–don’t photograph the war, photograph the man, the little guy; the struggle, the heartaches, plus the dreams of this guy. Photograph the sailor.” (Davidson, 1981) Steichen made a unified apparition out of the work of the different photographers he ruled. He concluded which negatives were to be produced and how they were to be yielded, he worked out stern control over the tonal eminence of the prints replicated by his lab, and he fixed on which produces would go into the photo unit’s picture and which would not. Davidson, 1981) Photos for project The photographs made for the project represent the style of Edward Steichen’s photography. In 1904, only some photographers were applying this trial method. Only three i
In the last several decades, considerable improvements have been achieved in the apprehension of memory faults of a person and the occurrence of false memory, in which a person recollects intact occasions that did not take place in his or her life. The study had proven that false memories are divided into substantial and emotional; moreover, they are able to endure for extended periods of time, and they are not purely the product of mandate features or the repossession of existing but concealed reminiscences. This new progress has been deliberated as additions to the previous introductory examination of the false memories. During the 1990s, the investigation of the subject matter was powered by an excessive division in psychology. At the beginning of 1990s, for example, a recently incipient arena of trauma researches, generated as an answer to a superior comprehension of the commonness of persecution of women and children, stopped impetuously into an only somewhat mature arena of eyewitness reminiscence and specifically the misinformation study that had already proven that human memory is predisposed to ex
Introduction This particular problem explains how the management structure is established and how it should suit people who are there. Body It explains the problems and solutions which we always have in our organizations. In this context, the main theme here is how some organizations do always operate with the organization’s missions contrary to what always appears in the mission statement. Conclusion The organization structure should always be very clear and there should be room for expansion for new ideas to come in. This particular case study is talking about a woman who was very much ambitious with the kind of work she joined. She joins a particular company to create and develop these ideas, the company CEO assured her that the black hole would prove otherwise. Later as she was still moving forward with her marketing strategies, she felt very much disappointed by the collaboration and even the hierarchical style of leadership since the organizational culture was not very promising. The woman was very much betrayed by those symbols which she had been warned about. One of these characteristics of the organizational culture is that every business has its unique way or sense of place that businesses or organizations generate through ways of running its operations and also the ways of communicating about it. To this particular organization, the organizational culture is indeed not very perfect even if you look at the way people communicate especially from the top management to the most junior. We find that the culture of the organization is that after the weekly on any other meeting, the employees have to wait for the CEO the big man so that all initiatives, ideas, and even proposals come to a grinding halt i.e. nothing moves forward until big man has given it an approval. The organization does not implement the ideas very first but instead keeps on piling them up since even the products are all still old and no improvement on the idea of looking into producing or introducing other products. Another thing is that the company is operating contrary to its vision because it promises to be providing the best to its customers, but not really since there is no improvement on the products, all are old. The mission states that it will offer professional improvement programs, but the woman was trying to even improve and be creative the company did not care about that. Communication in the company is still not effective; the woman had arranged all the proposals about the business strategy but needed to communicate first with someone who is far so that she could present that business proposal to him. This shows how the organization is not well prepared to tackle such issues. The rules here are tough since the protocol is to be followed even if time is being wasted since the black hole is to come very clear from the top management (i.e. the CEO) for things to run smoothly. Secondly, it is only some specific people to handle certain issues, not even somebody else who is acting as an assistant can assist when there is no senior person. The hierarchical style of lea
Introduction Hewlett Packard’s (HP) unveiling of its new Later Printing technology reveals how marketing and media perspectives are integrated with press releases and technology in the article “HP Expands Printing Portfolio to Address Broader Customer Base in Eco-solvent Market ” . Calling their new product the “HP Later Printing Technology solutions,” the company attempts to inspire consumers and the media alike while describing its product (HP, 2009). The press release for this technology illustrates the relationship between media perspective, corporate advertising through press releases, and marketing in general. Genuine media reactions to this vary while the press release poses to be a genuine reaction in itself, and through this, we can consider the relevant aspects of marketing. Media perspective is thus relevant in two ways when considering press releases, while marketing loosely borders on deceit in this common methodology of sales promotion. This perspective gives press releases a powerful advantage through perspective, as is evident in this consideration of a press release from HP. Press release definition Press releases are often writing from a non-descript perspective presented through the medium of the media when they are written by company officials attempting to market their product. However there are cases where the media agrees in other ways, and this is the signature of a great product. Company writers are assigned to write an article about a product while advertising it as if a reporter took interest in the product and is investigating it. This is what makes the press release so effective, as it appears as if the product is worthy of news and media attention, when in fact it is simply a sales letter written by the company as news. In this, press releases are more effective than simple advertisements (Czinkota, 2004). Major news has acclaimed this HP product to support its press release, largely because of the environmental issues relevant to the technology. Not always common to press releases, HP’s release for this product did receive media attention, while news and media sources refer to this technology as “revolutionary,” “ideal,” “beneficial,” and “high quality” (GDPRO, 2009). This media support lies the foundation for the consideration of HP’s marketing strategies, concepts, and language from a perspective supported by third parties. HP further appeals HP further appeals to the environmentalism and ecologically friendly mentally common in the modern world in its press release. Imagining the perspective of the media in HP’s sentence fragment “designed to broaden production capabilities for a greater number of customers and provide a viable alternative to eco-solvent technologies,” this is a powerful statement. Ultimately this part of the press release is its most powerful tool, as it allows the company to present its strongest points but without as much concern for the initial reader mental barrier that consumers have against straightforward advertising and marketing (Czinkota, 2004; Kotler and Keller, 2008). Considering t
The story depicts the events of the mountain biking in which the author has participated in a small group. During the Nepal hike, they have found the half-frozen practically naked Sadhu. It was a puzzle for them what he had done so far from the safety caravan routes, but this man needed help. The first who came across the Sadhu was the New Zealander. He transmitted the Sadhu to the narrator and continued his way. The Sadhu was clothed and he came to life, but the problem of what to do with him still existed. No one of the climbers wanted to take responsibility upon himself, trying to shirk off the problem upon another. As a result, the Sadhu was left by the narrator, then by his friend Stephan. It is necessary to mention that Stephan, feeling the pang of conscience, has been trying to persuade the other members of the hiking to transmit the Sadhu either to the village or at least to the hub. Everyone refused, but the Sadhu was given food and drink. Later on, the author describes the conversation between him and his friend Stephan. This dialog is one of the key dilemmas of the story. In spite of the fact that both of them have left the half-frozen man alone, Stephan feels the pangs of the conscience. Stephan thinks that if the Sadhu dies it will be their fault. On the contrary, the narrator tries to persuade Stephan that they have done their best. Each member of the hiking did his bit. Somebody gave him food, another gave him clothes and so on. The narrator considered that they had been right leaving the Sadhu alone. He pointed out that the Sadhu would survive in any case, as he was strong enough to throw the stones into the dogs. However, both of them did not know whether the Sadhu would survive or not. Frankly speaking, the position of the narrator surprised me. As for me, in such a situation I would help the Sadhu. Otherwise, I would feel my guilty and all my journey would be doomed by it. With the passing of the years, the narrator contemplated again this episode. His attitude towards this event has changed. Several years ago, his actions seemed right and obvious for him. Now the ethical dilemma arises. He asks himself why they have acted in this way, and came to the conclusion that the reason for it was the absence of a strong leader in their company. The leader who was able to take the responsibility upon himself. Moreover, he recognized that within their group there was no mutual understanding and support. They had no sense of purpose or plan (McCoy, 1997). The narrator is an investment banker and he has made for himself certain lessons from this situation. He remembered Stephans attempts to help the Sadhu, but Stephan had lacked the support from the group. As well as in business, in the complex situation, the individual loses himself if there is no support from the group. The narrator understands for himself that there is a difference between business ethics and the individual one. On the examples of huge corporations, he understands, that not always the interests of the whole company may be sacrificed for the sake of one person. However, to help the Sadhu or not still
Introduction As human beings, we live in a world where differences exist. Despite these differences, human beings have the capacity to choose which direction they ought to follow. This is usually based on the values and principles which are held by individuals. Essentially, choosing what is right or wrong is what constitutes to what ewe term as an ethical practice. Ethics begins when a person seeks to establish why a belief is good and why he thinks another belief is bad. It begins when one seeks to give reasons explaining the nature of something, that is, why something is termed as good or bad, and the appeal to reasons which have been put across defining why a given approach is preferred over another one. When people are faced with challenges in life, one has to determine what is truly good for oneself and what is to be avoided. The wisdom which is usually associated with this kind of reasoning is usually based on traditions and previous experiences which describe the aspect of goodness or badness of an action or belief. It is worth noting that traditions can at times mislead us; for instance, the traditions which were held with regard to slavery centuries ago were acceptable, however in the current time and age, they are unacceptable. Thus it is important to understand the nature off goodness in light of humanity in order to enhance the human capacity to achieve the stated objectives of life (Devettere). International ethics: statement of the problem It is worth noting that every human being is defined within a given international code of ethics. This implies that we are subject to a given set of standards which govern our conduct and inform the direction that one should take. Internationally, there are a set of standards which define what ought to be done and what ought not to be done. Many people have held the idea that international relations do not lie within the sphere of morality. However is important to note the fact that ethical concerns are part of international affairs. Essentially, the current judgments of the rights and wrongs of foreign policy are affected by past efforts to articulate the legitimate claims of political communities, to lay down rules for civilized diplomacy, to distinguish just and unjust wars, and to establish procedures for the peaceful settlement of international disputes (Nardin and David). Many people have held the opinion that ethics is simply a branch of philosophy. Furthermore, other eras of existence and civilizations have treated this subject as an aspect which is in relation to law. The premise of this pap
Introduction Modern technologies continue to transform healthcare delivery models and procedures. In the field of nursing, informatics nurse specialists (INSs) undertake numerous responsibilities that can meet the changing needs of the targeted patients. One of the critical roles for INSs is that of coordinating, monitoring, and implementing projects that bring together professionals from different disciplines. Using role theory, the paper below describes the role of an INS in project management. The outstanding attributes of a terrific manager are also analyzed. Role of the INS in Project Management Role theory is a model that asserts that people perform duties in accordance with defined categories. Each responsibility is viewed as an expectation, norm, behavior, or right of a given individual. Leaders can go further to encourage their followers to act within the specified role expectations (American Nurses Association, 2015). With this kind of understanding, INSs should be ready to be part of every clinically-driven project if the outlined results are to be realized. The above theoretical model supports the power of teamwork to deliver projects in a timely manner. The emerging partnership creates the best environment for promoting performance. In accordance with this framework, a computer technologist will provide adequate technical skills and ideas to drive the project in the right direction. Synnott (2014) indicates that projects typically have five phases. INSs can undertake specific roles at each of these stages to deliver positive results. During the initiation stage, INSs will offer insights to identify the right technological requirements or scope. This means that different stakeholders will be able to sign the project charter. The second phase is that of planning. During this stage, INSs can offer insights to design appropriate systems, select the right hardware, analyze the targeted workflow, and complete testing processes (Sipes, 2016b). The execution phase succeeds when INSs examine the targeted project and acquire the right technology to improve efficiency. The monitoring phase is completed successfully when INSs and project managers collaborate throughout the period. These professionals will monitor specific technological processes, promote safety, and improve the efficient use of different applications. Additionally, such experts can guide managers to meet the regulatory requirements for acquiring and implementing the use of various innovations (Sipes, 2016a). They can also focus on existing policies and update them, respectively. Their involvement will also make sure that emerging technical issues are addressed in a timely manner. During the closing stage, INSs will resolve the challenges affecting the targeted project. Teams can identify issues that have been missed much faster. Informaticists can also guide targeted practitioners to use targeted systems effectively. Project managers should embrace the power of role t
