Management: Course Final Paper

Introduction
In earlier studies, organization change has been defined as the breaking down of existing structures and the creation of new ones. In other words, it is a transformation of an organization between two points in time. Such a scenario can develop anxiety, uncertainty, and ambiguity in the minds of employees due to differences in experienced, socio-demographic characteristics, attitude, knowledge and behavioural patterns. For overcoming the employees’ nervousness management, organizational change agents put stress extensively on employee readiness predictor variables. As clearly stated in the literature, employee attitude and employee readiness factors pose a significant affect in preparing employees physically and ...

Question 1: We have been talking about the importance of understanding our own attitudes and prejudices in order to appreciate cultural differences. In light of this topic, why is it important? How have you dealt with situations in which you did or said things that you later learned or realized might have been offensive, or at least misunderstood?

Response

It is important to understand our own prejudices and attitudes as they have a phenomenal impact on our daily lives. They affect the way we relate with other people both in a professional, business, or personal environments. Our attitudes and prejudices are deeply ...

In most countries, police officers are perceived to be law enforcers and, this has created a big gap between them and the public. The public see the officers as being antisocial beings that should be feared. People have developed that attitude that they cannot confide in police officers due to the panic of being brought to book even without any specific mistake. Conversely, police officers are humans and, are prone to making mistakes since; no one is perfect (Cools, M. (2010). Therefore, they should not be left out in the development projects in our societies as this lowers their self-esteem ...

I know my friend who is resilient as he has been successful against the odds. The resilience indicates the healthy development in the form of the risk factors (Hutchison, 2012). The parents of my friend were not in the position to afford the education of their son. Their family members and the neighbors did not help them. They were in a condition that sometimes they did not have any food to eat. His father was paralyzed and mother had to look after the father. He learned from the attitudes and behavior of people in the society that he has to ...

It seems that there is no subject surrounded in so much taboo as when it comes to sexual attitudes and behaviors. With such a myriad of what is considered “normal” within a certain society or culture, trying to identify what is socially acceptable can be, at times, tricky. Media bombards viewers with images of scantily clad individuals in various adulterous escapades and the spam folders of emails are chock full of advertisements for discreet illicit affairs. With companies catering towards married individuals boasting over 20 million customers (Woo, 2013), is it possible that humans are not meant to be monogamous? ...

Communication is considered as a constitutive of the social reality; hence it should be regarded as something that is more than just a variable among others, which affect the organization’s performance as well as its life.

It is obvious that for a new brand message to be efficient in the midst of the noises, its advertising demands to be clever, visually appealing, memorable and even unique in the ...

He also describes the main idea of the motion picture, trying to understand what impression the film produces on different people. A large part of ...

It is human nature to socialize. People go out and meet people with the intention of improving themselves and to belong to family groups. The presence of other people in one’s life influences the person in more ways than one. This is best described in social psychology which explains the effects on a person’s thoughts, feelings, and actions that other people, whether they are real or imagined, have (Feist & Rosenberg, 2012). When we are with people, we tend to act differently than when we are alone. At times, people around us influence us positively and sometimes we ...

The attitude of a consumer towards a given firm and its products is determined by the value the consumer attaches to the attributes possessed by the products or the firm. An object being promoted may have different attributes. However, the consumer’s perception of the importance of these attribute is what determines their attitude towards the object. In addition to this, it is also crucial to note that the consumer’s perception of whether the product possesses the attributes or not also influences their attitude towards the object. In this exercise, my attitude towards six supermarket chains was assessed. The attributes ...

Group is formed when people with common objectives, aims, beliefs and preferences associate together. A group is an interdependent set of people doing a task or trying to reach a common goal (Champoux, 2011, p. 223). Group or team formation is a composed of five major stages: forming, storming, norming, performing, and transforming. This process is applicable to most of the group formation activity. While observing any formal or informal group, there arise different personalities who tend to lead the group. Since group of people do have no specific hierarchy, the tendency of members within possess two different attitude: Leader, and follower. ...

Altitude is the distance between a reference point and a person or an object. It is usually in horizontal or in the vertical axis. Attitude is an external or internal show of like or dislike to a thing, place, thing, person or event. It is also defined as distinct and very important model in existing social psychology. It originates from persons present and past. Attitude is quantifiable and unpredictable as well as determining a person's feeling and conduct. Attitude is in two forms, explicit and implicit.

Would you consider Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” to be a literary piece or more directly political in nature and why?

First published in London in 1729, Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” is a famous piece of satirical writing which criticizes the attitude of the establishment of England towards Ireland as a whole and in particular to the poor people of Ireland. The history of England’s relationship with Ireland has for centuries been fraught with controversy and frequently marred by violence, even in the modern era. From an Irish point of view, England has been guilty of treating Ireland as a colony and of regarding the Irish themselves with prejudice – because of their ethnicity and because of their adherence ...

There was not different that women were controlled in the Sioux and Victorian American societies. Both of the cultures emphasized on the sanctity of marriage.

Social Distance Theory

Social distance can be described as a propensity to approach or withdrawal from a group. The division of people based on a social class, ethnicity, race, and gender can be described as a social distance that prevails within or out of the societies. The differentiated behavior of people that leads them to their segregation with another person or persons of the society is a social distance (Prandy, 2003). For instance if a person is not able to mix up due to race, gender, ethnicity or social class then he will be regarded as a person who is socially distant from another member living in a society. Such a ...

Part A: 1: Stay and do nothing

In my opinion I will adopt this attitude in a situation where I either don’t have any personal interest or the responsibility of the situation is upon someone else. This attitude best suits these two situations due to the reasons that we should not try to get involved in some situation for changing anything where we don’t have any interest as we can get into trouble from any negative outcome of the involvement. Similar is the case when someone else is responsible for the outcomes of any approach in a situation.

An example of such situation include a workplace where a ...

Attitude, Legislation and Litigation: Students with Disabilities

The attitude of people, the laws governing them and the litigitation experiences affecting a specific group of people greatly affects how these people live within the society. This is true with the disabled students. Students with disabilities have experienced a rough road that can be comparable to the fight of the Black Americans for their rights.

William James can be described as holding a pragmatic view of life. He felt that facts were just facts but each individual created his or her own truth from those facts. His view was like the adage that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ The truth was what the individual made of the facts.

Based on this view and perspective of life, James considered the ideals that we each hold and to state “ with each new ideal that comes into life, the chance for a life based on some old ideal will vanish.”1 This, in turn, ...

The idea behind deconstructing skills is to break down unusually large concepts into smaller ideas so that they are simplified and seem less intimidating. When trying to learn a new skill, it is necessary to deconstruct it in order to know the specifics that matter. For instance, when comes to a skill such as cooking, it consists of several smaller chunks of skills which form the whole idea of cooking. In other words, cooking involves smaller skills such as clean up, preparation, shopping, and the actual cooking.

The crux of the argument in the video clip is challenging conventional wisdom on ...

Role played by race/ethnicity in the criminal justice system

Historically, race played a big role in the criminal justice system, especially in relation to punishment for perceived or actual criminal conduct. In the early twentieth century, the extent of punishment meted out depended on one’s race. Virtually all cases that involved minorities resulted to strict and harsh sanctions, especially cases involving African – Americans (Rosich, 2007). These sanctions served two purposes: to deter criminal conduct among the minorities, and to suppress any uprisings.

This was compounded by the fact that those in charge of the criminal justice were from the majority. All juries, judges, legislators, and law enforcement ...

I somewhat disagree that people should be positioned to work close to one another as this can be disruptive or distracting for some employees, especially considering that people have different work habits where some employees’ habits are annoying or distracting. Moreover, this might encourage the employees to chat with each other instead of focusing on the work.
Similarly, I have mixed feelings about using technology to keep people talking together, as this can also be distracting. However, on the other hand, it’s also beneficial as it facilitates communication. It enables employees to quickly get the information that ...

As I see it, the program is good and has a great overview at first glance, therefore making it effective for the first two years after training in elementary school, but then wears off and hence is not effective in high school and college where the largest number of ...

This essay provides a commentary on the perceptions of racial differences among children. The argument follows a reflective review of two reports. It will prove that in children, the race factor plays an important function during friendship selection and behavior interpretation.

I am not surprised by the results from the reports. This is because children have a tendency of making their friendship selections based on their view of the aggregate society. For instance, they are aware of the fact that adults have fewer interracial than intra-racial relations. Therefore, the children have not only internalized their cultural views of race, but also developed ...

The reason I find this particular type of research (second language acquisition, particularly of Arabic) appealing is my fascination with intercultural studies and the difficulty of defense language learning. Because Arabic is such a uniquely difficult language for an English speaker, due to their dramatic structural differences, finding new and better ways to learn it is vitally important.

I know many people in the military; as a result, I have several preconceptions toward military and American attitudes toward Arabic as a language. Often, cultural attitudes toward Arabs and the like are relatively negative; the aggression and violence bred by military service, combined ...

Majority of the policy-making that deals with criminal justice is pursuant to criminological theory, whether the authors of the policies are unaware of such fact or not. Some of the common causes of failed policies in criminal justice can be attributed to misinterpretation, fractional implementation, or illiteracy on criminological theories (Houston et al., 2008, p. 58). However, are some instances when there are problems that beset the implementation of policies such as when the law enforcement arrested mistaken individuals. ...

It is from the recognition of prior belief and attitude that is believed that one would not engage in a given act. ...
