Introduction

“Cogito ergo sum” is a Latin phrase translated in English as “I think, therefore I am”. The phrase was Rene Descartes’ (1596-1650) philosophical proposition of existence in that he knew he was somewhere as an entity because of his capacity to have thoughts. The proposition has been perceived by western scholars as the foundation for all knowledge because while some objects can be queried if the belong to the realm of imagination or reality, the act of doubting ones existence is proof enough of the reality of their existence (Broughton, 109). I agree with Descartes proposal based on my idea ...

Realist theory arose by way of reaction to the shortcomings of utopian philosophy and the utopianism underlying the post-World War I peace-building process. What is the realist critique of utopianism in relation to the League of Nations? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Introduction

There are fundamental gender differences in organizational management styles, values, leadership strategies and policy preferences, which constitute barriers to women’s ascendancy to the highest levels of leadership. These differences not only condition women’s leadership/managerial styles, but also shape the effectiveness of any such styles, which in turn reflect on their participation in public administration. This paper distils the existent conceptual, theoretical and empirical models on public administration, gender disparities, and underlying factors that prevent women’s upward mobility as well as the subsequent effect on organizational outcomes. Ultimately, however, management and leadership styles in any context continue ...

Introduction

In the article, the writer makes the case that women have better instincts for the ecological sustenance of the earth. Her case is based on the fact that women are more fundamentally materially grouped in the ecology of the planet than men. She regards these instincts to human existence on the planet. She says that human-caused environmental problems of the planet are extensively due to an exploitive, paternalistic, male dominated culture (Warren & Erkal, 1997). Mary approaches the argument from a Marxist, materialistic view combining it with ecofeminism and non-anthropocentricity. She argues that, there is no necessary conflict between a Marxist approach ...

Fixed vs. Growth Mindset

I like the issue of human lives being daily shaped by the kind of mindset that they consciously or unconsciously choose to adopt. Psychologists have agreed on the existence of two types of mentality, fixed and growth mindsets. These have been developed in attempts to explain beliefs on personality and intelligence and to try to define different traits that are existent in populations today. I like the fact that the fixed mindset is based on the belief that a person’s characteristics are permanently carved in stone while the growth mindset is for the fact that basic qualities are ...

This sort of comparison also serves as a benchmarking tool. Due to the gap created, it is imperative to ascertain that the club is putting necessary efforts while establishing budget commitments to attaining the new desired level.

This gap directs members of the club to appraise its actual status rather than the ideal, and it demands for constructive participation by members ...

In the entitled “white privilege: Unpacking the invisible Knapsack”, Maclntosh identifies the invisible advantages that the social system confers to the white population and other groups in the hierarchies. She likens this form of inequality in privileges to the kind of discrimination and inequality that exist between the male and female gender. According to Maclntosh, discrimination against women by men is a result of both individual denial by men to recognize the fact they are over privileged and the cultural setting in which the society teaches men not to recognize such inequalities and discrimination.
Maclntosh points out that through ...

I would like to agree with most of the findings and opinions expressed by the writer of this invaluable article. Since we are in a competitively diverse society, it is inevitable that we have to embrace comparison as one of our traits. However, in doing this, we should be in a position of to understand its two fold consequences (Adamic, L., 2007).

The theory of sustainable development is perhaps the most equivocal factor that has dominated many debates in addition to generating equally varied interpretations from environmentalists. Sustainable development places significant importance on the maintenance of natural resources. For this reason, several values often emerge when defining or during the inclusion of natural resources. Resources come in different types that can be categorized as renewable and non-renewable. While resources are useful for the survival of humans both in supporting life and in meeting people’s needs, the satisfaction of human needs and scarcity of resources has led to several resistances. Such ...
