An individual is the basic unit of society for most Western democracies. As such, laws and the execution of laws (one form of justice) in these societies focus on individual rights. Justice can be seen as two parts. Justice is one sense is reparations, or punishment that a society inflicts upon an individual. This essay looks at texts of Martin Luther King, Sigmund Freud and Thomas Jefferson in order to ascertain each of their guiding philosophies on what consisted of individual rights and justice. Each of them falls in line in a very particular philosophical school of thought with regard to ...

Problem Statement

The need to live in a healthy environment is the desire of everyone. A healthy environment exists where health professionals engage in the analysis of various factors that contribute to health problems, and adopting remedies to solve them in their various contexts. This needs appreciation of the cultural diversity among the human population, and recognition of its impact on the diagnosis and treatment of various health issues such as mental illnesses (Covan, 2010). The ethnic background of individuals reinforces their culture and assigns them different gender roles. These are crucial in analyzing health problems in order to advise on the ...

Summary: Piaget’s, Vygotsky’s, Erikson’s Theories of Social Development

Introduction
McLeod (2007) observes that a number of learning theories have been advanced to describe the nature social development, key among them being postulated by Erikson, Piaget and Vygotsky. According to him, the foundations laid by these theoretical approaches to human development have been used in various sectors for purposes of conceptualizing and formulating general as well as particular universal patterns that help to improve our understanding of certain phenomena. Such occurrences are characterized by learning, intelligence development, and social interactions. As a result, a number of suggestions have been proposed based on their findings with the aim of defining the ...

Empirical self of each individual that is at all times referred as me (William Jones, 279). It is difficult to draw a clear line between what a man refers to as me and what he says its mine. Individuals act and feel about specific factors in life that belong to them as they feel and act about themselves (William Jones, 279). The work of each individual’s hands, their fame, their children are dear to them just like their bodies and bring about the same feelings in the event they are attacked.

As a potential carrier of a gene for an unpreventable condition, I would definitely want to know my real status. The basic reason is that knowledge of the disease might mean that I would be able to spend more productive years of life as opposed to coming down with the disease later in life. I might also be able to prevent transmitting the condition to my children if I know my status.
As regards pre- and post-test counseling, I believe that it is necessary for a pre-test counseling to be done for any individual who is about to take a genetic test. ...

Leadership Theories
Leadership is a process that a group or an individual impacts a group of individuals to reach a certain or common goal (Parent et. al., n.d.).

I learned from reading this article that PRP (performance related pay) has a positive effect on productivity, particularly where individual performance can be evaluate and rewarded. This does support my attempt to answer my questions on the affects of pay for performance on motivation and productivity.

PRP is most effective in employment situations where it serves as an immediate financial reward to top performers. In these situations, it improves the company’s productivity in two ways; it increases the performance of ...

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 ...

The brain is a highly complex organ, with a network of nerve cells that serve as a starting point for everything an individual senses, thinks, and ultimately the actions carried out. There are two responses that the brain is responsible for carrying out: conscious responses and autonomic responses, with fear being an example of the latter due to it usually being triggered unconsciously, leaving the individual to realize that the fear reaction has been triggered only after a myriad of physical responses have occurred (Debiec & LeDoux, 2004).
While the experience of fear is rather autonomic, ...

The contemporary cultural milieu exudes a permissive attitude to sexuality and this pattern is also reflected in the popular culture and media portraitures of sexual behavior. It has also been noted that college students have erroneous notions regarding sexual norms which get influenced by the perception and influence of media. Hookups are reflections of the human social behavior and provide room for studying evolved mating psychology and cultural context. Cultural shifts in dating have shown transformations with time and it was propagated that sexual behavior is not bound by the context of marital union. The contemporary culture also encourages sexual ...

There are, undoubtedly, aspects of the self that are tied inextricably to an individual’s culture. Because it is impossible to raise a child in a cultural vacuum, it is impossible to determine exactly what aspects of personality are determined by culture and which aspects are determined by birth; the relationship between culture and identity is certainly tightly bound. Markus and Kitayama, for instance, point out that people are capable of framing their sense of self in a multitude of different ways, but that their method of identity is invariably tied closely to their culture. Staples, on the other hand, suggests that ...

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.

Abstract

In this paper, I will cover the issues of treating patients with dual diagnosis. Dual diagnosis is a condition when patients develop two disorders, and most healthcare professionals are not able to assist those patients in treating their conditions. A literature review reveals that lack of proper regulations and specialized treatment models are considered the main causes of low recovery rates among patients with comorbid disorders. Other issues include lack of patient motivation, education, compliance with treatments, etc. The available literature mainly criticizes the contemporary situation in healthcare when it comes to treating patients with comorbid disorders, but some approaches ...

Is The World How We Perceive It to Be?

Introduction
Philosophy, like the hard sciences, always introduces very enigmatic concepts. Until now, the idea of the reality of the world and where it really did come from still remains an unsolved mystery. With this being said, one ultimate question arises, how certain are we that the world is really how we perceive it to be? This paper analyzes the answers given by two of the world’s modern-day philosophers John Locke, and George Berkeley.

The major claim that John Locke, an English philosopher, used to approach the question was the concept of Tabula Rasa. This concept states that ...

He makes reference to multiple authors to enforce the credibility of his arguments. In a large section of the article, he integrates inspiration with hard work and explains how these aspects are interdependent. Specifically, a lot of dedication on the completion of a task ...

Empowerment is based on the premises that human beings have the capacity to make choices and live up to their consequences.

While an individual can be certain that their recollection of events is accurate, eyewitnesses can often get large details incorrect, such as gender, clothing colors, and race. According to research by Frenda, Nichols, and Loftus (2011), there are several aspects of human nature that contribute to what is referred to as the Misinformation Effect. Memories often deteriorate over time, even when the events feel like they just happened yesterday to the individual recounting the experience. However, due to a variety of variables, such as the amount of stress associated with the experience, information provided by fellow eyewitnesses, investigators, and even ...

In this chapter, the prevailing argument is led by Marx, that the need for money of individuals in society caused by the modern economic system. In a capitalist society, Marx argues that the human needs through a system of private property, when capitalism develops advanced human needs that are defined on the basic requirements of food, shelter and clothing. Capitalism has also the aspect of the creation of more and different social classes that persist further redefining the needs of individuals in each class. Marx argued that since capitalism is mainly in the accumulation of wealth by individuals, is accumulated to ...

Critical period hypothesis is not a new concept in language acquisation, because Roberts and Lennberg introduced and followed it up in 1959 and 1967 respectively in the neurolinguistic literature. They hypothesized that the recovery of brain from serious illnesses like trauma would be hindered by the maturation of the brain as one ages. Further researches on the above speculation, particularly those conducted in the behavioral sciences revealed that all the measures of language proficiency varies with the maturation of brain, but the proficiency scores gets low as the persons age increases. For these reasons, the hypothesized biological based critical period ...

Summary of Belk Case

The article illustrates that thoughtful recognition of variables for a given situation facilitates the process of understanding different behaviors shown by customers.

In the past few years, various types of research have been done on the new and arising issue of drinking of young adult in New Zealand. This hazardous drinking, mainly apparent among the youths who are mostly young adult students in New Zealand is a public-health concern. The issue has raised a lot of questions and a need to look into the matter of discipline among these students.

Introduction

Cognitive Behavioral Interventions are approaches that use soft instruments to correct or enhance behavioral characteristics of individuals, either to comply with society expectations or to unlearn a particular behavior. A person with a drugs problem may be trained to handle the urges of taking drugs and avoidance of risky situations, with an aim of solving the problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy, commonly referred to as CBT, teaches the subjects a new set of skills designed to increase awareness of thoughts and emotions of an individual. The idea is to re-empower the individual to understand how certain exposures to situations, people ...

Simplifying this, the authors believed that when interaction is direct and visual, the possibility of deception will be averted. The authors’ further claims that with face-to-face interaction the players in the communication process will feel ...

While it remains debatable that money cannot buy happiness, money certainly can buy quality mental health medications and services. It also may buy a sense of feeling good about one’s self – or at least feeling better in comparison to poorer people. Living in poverty and living with a mental health issue are often comorbidities. Common mental disorders (CMD) such as major depression and anxiety are treatable only if a person suffering from these disorders is able to get access to mental health care. Sadly, this is not often the case for those living at the poverty level or homelessness, no matter ...

Situations that might lead to unethical practices and behavior in accounting

Opportunity is one aspect that may lead to unethical practice in accounting. Accountants normally encounter or are involved in transactions that have large sums of money changing hands. As such, the constant access to this money may provide the best opportunity for an individual to start siphoning small amounts of money, which cannot be easily recognized since the transactions deal with huge amounts of money. For instance, in transactions that involve billions, an accountant may decide to be siphoning as little as 100 dollars. Increasing financial needs make people to seek opportunities that may lead to unethical practices.

As such, the author of the article raises key questions in the field of management from the outset despite thus far only getting one paragraph into the article.

Consequently, social pressure is the influence of a group or person to think or act in a particular manner. Most of the people act in particular ways because they do not want to “be left out and thus base their decisions on what others consider to be right ...

During holocaust, many innocent people were killed. These killings were done by people who were under the instruction of the government. It is due to these killings that Stanly Milgram decided to conduct experiments known as obedience to the authority to find out it was possible to conduct such massive killing of the ordinary people in the society. The finding from these experiments is very useful in explaining the reason for the massive killings.

Obedience is a common thing especially in society where we have very powerful leaders. When people are very powerful, the others tend to obey their commands ...

Most psychologists attest to the potential of computers as powerful tools to test methods during psychological assessments. The introduction of computers in the 1950s was found to be very significant in facilitating scores, data management and analysis of results. In this review article, Butcher and colleagues (2004) aim to discuss the history and state of personality and neuropsychological tests that are processed through computers and how such method may be both helpful and problematic in the interpretation of the assessments of psychological data. Further, some issues regarding test interpretations through the computer were also emphasized along with the problems ...
