Description of Wheatley’s Essay

Margaret Wheatley’s Essay “Innovation Means Relying on Everyone’s Creativity” has two central points guiding a wealth of practical knowledge on organizational leadership gained through her experiences. The first is that organizations act in the same way as living organism. The whole of the organization can be seen as a species that will change according to alterations to environmental conditions. The second part of her thesis is “People only support what they create” (Wheatley, 2001). This means that in order to get support for new policies or changes to the organization, everyone within the organization must play a role in enacting ...

Although some critics despised melodrama for its emotional exaggeration, it is undeniably true that both classic culture and popular culture have somehow applied the characteristics of melodrama as emotional rhetoric. The purpose of this paper is to establish empathy between the emotions of the visual image and the audience. Moreover, another purpose is to serve as either authority or the artist’s livelihood. For example, the religious art during medieval times sought to make people cry over the suffering of Jesus with the elements of horror and pity while the religious art during the Renaissance sought to deliver a ...

A Review

Part A
Working with the families of children with disabilities can be delicate for many reasons, not the least of which is that they may not be able to fully participate in ways which are meaningful (Dunst, 2002, 143). Knowing how to participate can also be difficult due to its changeable nature; in preschool families may be able to participate fully in the education of their child via the provision of special schools which allow for parental interaction during class (Dunst, 2002, 144), or by creating family-specific areas where they can ‘learn-by-doing’ when it comes to their children, perhaps ...

Bruce Bower in his well-written article in “Science Today entitled “Shared Talking Styles Herald New and Lasting Romance” argues that” language style matching” is a communication asset between two people, then the reverse scenario of both employing different communication styles does nothing to help the interpersonal relationship between them. The reason for this is simple and only common sense. When two individuals talk or communicate to each other, then the use of similar language styles is usually a step forward towards better communications. Better communication means better comprehension, better empathy and therefore better quality of interpersonal relationships. So far so good, ...

Effects of Deployment to Military Families

The impact of military deployment ranges from physical to mental health issues that have psychological consequences for the service members as well as their close and extended families.
Following massive deployment after September 11, 2001, many researchers have examined the effects of military deployment on military personnel and veterans. About 30% of deployed soldiers have been diagnosed with psychological symptoms such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, sleeping disorders, hyper-vigilance, and depression (Everson and Figley, 2011).
Exposure to combat and traumatic events, e.g. bombing, torture, murder and other extreme events that occur in a war result in high stress ...

The servant leadership style tends to be highly effective in healthcare organizations. Adoption of the servant leadership model presupposes establishing a work environment aimed at promoting shared decision making as well as community experience.
It is considered that the term ‘servant leadership’ was proposed by the American philosopher Robert Greenleaf. It is worth noting that this type of leadership requires the deepest level of intuitive perception and understanding, empathy, the ability to look within and around, a sense of community and a stable framework of values (Marquis & Huston, 2012, 52). According to this theory, a person should be focused on helping and ...

ARTICLE REVIEW: CONCEPTS OF PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH AND INFANCY IN CH’ING DYNASTY CHINA BY CHARLOTTE FURTH

Introductory Paragraph
History has seen the prevalence of patriarchal concepts throughout almost every major civilization. In fact, the subordination of women as inferior to men has since manifested through a variety of social constructs that has extended beyond customary practices towards acceptance as universal facts. This review on an article authored by Charlotte Furth, entitled Concepts of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Infancy in Ch’ing Dynasty China, seeks to tackle a social construct that has framed women as inferior to men treated as a universal fact within a social setting – the reproductive system of women as seen in pregnancy, childbirth and infancy.

Article Thesis

Furth ...

The article ‘The theory of moral sentiments’ depicts and provides illustrations of the sentiments and feelings that people have in different situations and when dealing with different individuals. For example, the feelings of sympathy, pity and compassion where people generate emotions and feeling for the misery of other people. This sentiment depicts the human nature of passion for others and it is among the common laws of the society. Therefore, human beings have the fellow-feeling when others are facing misery. The fellow-feeling corresponds with the feelings of gratitude towards faithful friends who did not depart a person in their difficulties. ...

Swift’s A Modest Proposal is a successful piece of writing which addresses the problem of poverty in Ireland at the time. The use of satire is entirely appropriate and effective, and the piece is still popular centuries after it was written. Swift’s use of rhetoric successfully evokes in the reader a sense of outrage at the speaker and a sympathy towards the Irish.
On reading A Modest Proposal, the reader realises it isn’t a straight forward essay by the second paragraph in which he speaks of making small children useful members of society (Swift, 1729). However, it is only ...

Who’s Afraid of the Old Testament God?

Introduction:
In this excellent book, Thompson takes the old myth on the Old Testament God to task explaining the fact that life is not to be taken for granted in any way. Many view God as someone who is forbidding, always ready to castigate and create situations where his obedience is unquestioned and/or without any sort of parallel. Thompson does attempt to dispel that myth accordingly focusing on life in general and how the many episodes in the Bible can be said to dispel this theme accordingly.

The main points of the book:

Principally the book attempts to tackle certain aspects of life which ...
