Essays on Blaming

As an international student currently pursuing my MBA with no previous work experience, I am in the process of learning the importance of leadership in business management besides sharpening my leadership acumen. However, self-confidence has always been my basic strength. The fact that I have come all the way to this country to do my higher studies in Business Administration along with various other international students reaffirms my self-confidence. I am also more flexible that helps me a lot in getting along with individuals belonging to diverse cultural and social backgrounds. More importantly, I believe my overseas education and ...

Creating change in any organization might seem like an insurmountable task given that human beings are usually resistant to change. But is that really true? A lot of employees, as normal workers, in middle and upper management actually embrace change if only they can be convinced of its validity and the manner in which it affects their best interests in a positive manner. No one likes to change anything that seems to working perfectly, right? That's what the employees of the bottled mineral-water company Perrier have been struggling to cope with for a number of years after the organization ...

Introduction The risk associated with significant projects like the construction if the Belo Monte Dam tends to be quite big. Risks tend to affect people in various aspects, for instance, there is a risk that affects people in the individual context and those that affect them in the general aspects (Mythen 2004, p. 11). However, the manner in which people deal with the possibility of an adverse outcome, especially in an investment like the big dam tends to differ depending on the magnitude of the risk.

Adolf Hitler’s rise to power was in a time when Germany was experiencing a grim political and economic condition. The economic depression that hit the world economy during the 1930s had adversely affected the country, that extreme poverty leads the people to near hopelessness. This was in addition to the still fresh and humiliating defeat of the German military in WWI, and historians claimed that the defeat became the fabric that propelled Hitler’s political and military agenda. People were near the brink of helplessness that they believed anyone who convincingly talked about getting them out of their ...

One of the most significant health issues that effects men, women and children throughout the United States is obesity. Obesity is the label given to anyone who is more than simply overweight, but is carrying a vast amount of excess weight that it effects their abilities, energy and psychological well being.

Nemesis, a novel by Philip Roth, gives a protagonist view of what is good, and what is wrong in the lives of human beings. Moreover, the novel gives an opposing view on a religious basis, but the antagonism is set in a virtual or imaginary basis, as the main character, Bucky, contradicts the view of others by supernatural eventualities. Moreover, Bucky is faced with vast guilt that alienated him from his life (Roth 21). Apparently, the author depicts that Bucky has poor eyesight and natural defect that makes him unfit to serve his country during the World War 2. ...

In a globalized world, it seems as though culture shock is inevitable. Essentially, people “encounter culture shock whenever they uproot themselves from a familiar setting and move to an unfamiliar one,” (Ting-Toomey & Chung, 2011, p. 93). With millions of people traveling as tourists, finding work in other countries, and students studying outside of their homeland, culture shock is an experience that will ultimately affect so many. For some scholars, what it really boils down to is how a person handles their culture shock, and how their reaction to culture shock will affect their ability to adapt to a new ...

The society has changed and crime is increased and good behavior reduced among the youths which is not good for civilization. The unity in the society is not anymore which caused writers such as O’Conner and Oates to write on the behavior of the current society. It is with no doubt that a good man is hard to find in the present society due to loss of trust and many young people having adopted bad lifestyles. This means that the arguments written by O’Connor and Oates are very good in giving the picture of what the society ...

Many authors regard their work as being a single standalone piece of art. By this logic, it can be safe to assume that the authors work their literary pieces to stand out against similar genres of works. However, in some cases many different stories end up sharing the same motif and theme. In many cases like this, it is not because of two authors collaborating to come up with a theme, or lesson, to teach society but a stroke of luck. When forming their stories, authors use society around them to develop their characters, settings, and such so in ...

Socialization is the process of transforming a child into a responsible individual aware of his or her roles and position in the society by educating them on the social norms, laws of the environment and customs.

Any relationship is bound to face challenges from the individuals because it involves two people who are different. Individuals are unique and not any two are similar; even identical twins are different in one way or the other. Misunderstandings arebound to occur due to the uniqueness of personality and behavior of each individual and therefore causing conflict. People who decide to be in a relationship, therefore, must understand their differences to ensure efficient and healthy coexistence. Communication is an integral part of any union because it provides better understanding which is an essential requirement for a successful relationship between ...

Teenage pregnancies are usually unwanted and they are the result of bad sex education. The office of the mayor of New York promotes posters within a campaign that is supposed to prevent such pregnancies from happening and the whole campaign revolves around shaming and blaming. It is not a good decision to become a parent too early in life, while one is still a teenager, but shaming these young people cannot have a good outcome. It is not about blaming, because the issue is related to prevention and fostering a different lifestyle for the young who still need to ...

It is life’s obvious fact that each of us has our own way facing our emotions, particularly those that are deemed better off forgotten and erased. Perhaps this is because of the human need to always be at a safety zone, where nothing can be harmful for the person, regardless if these are physical dangers, psychological and mental, or even emotional in nature. As such, this human tendency to escape from emotional and psychological burden is very apparent in the 1980 film, Ordinary People, which was directed by Robert Redford and starred Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and ...

The article by Thomas L. Friedman entitled “How About Better Parents?” talks about the involvement of parents when it comes to their child’s education. He says that great teachers can really make a difference, but it is better parents that can push individual progress. The statistics of exam results when it comes to high school students were compared around the world. People are wondering why America scores in the bottom as compared to countries such as Shanghai, Singapore and Finland. The article takes the blame off the teachers and the students and takes a look at parents who are ...

Be Required for College Students?

In view of the poor results obtained in many freshman composition classes, the inevitable question arises as to the usefulness of such courses. College students see these courses as irrelevant to their immediate ends of gaining a college degree in the least possible time. They yearn to jump into their major courses which they perceive as more relevant to that coveted degree which will be a ticket to a high-paying job. Composition college instructors see with disappointment the continual decrease in quality writing from their students. Not only today’s college students seem unable ...

Teenage mass murdering is a horrifying subject. It immediately brings up memories of Columbine massacre, Virginia Tech shooting and other mass murders, which took place in past 20 years. It cannot be forgotten, and people still remember what had happened but there is no clear answer to why did this happen. There have been thousands of articles on this topic and numerous books were written, however, this problem still exists. What or who is the one to blame? Thoughts vary from blaming parents to blaming videogames, government or church. Even if it is unlikely to change the whole world, it ...

The Generation of Generation Q is a reaction to Thomas Friedman’s article: Generation Q. The complacency of the current day generation fuelled Friedman’s criticism. Fisherman, on the other hand, came out strongly to disagree with Friedman’s statements. Although Fisherman got some of his facts right, he was completely off the mark on some of his arguments. Firstly, when Friedman asserts that this generation lazily hides behind technology, nothing can be farther from the truth. Technology has elevated the way people in this generation carry out business and how they study among many other things. With this ...

Introduction

Although rape and sexual assault are serious offenses, public discourse about these issues fail to clearly address the problems that victims go through even after these atrocious acts were committed against them. In reality, despite public acceptance of rape and sexual abuse as crime and the mandate for the punishment of those that commit these acts, the overall public response to these crimes are underwhelming to the point of bringing about detrimental impact on the life of victims. On one hand, we have a system that fails to prevent rape and sexual abuse and protect people and victims alike from ...

Abstract

Nevertheless, this research concluded that, following the implications of criminal behavior, and that, most criminal activities such ...

The title of Bruce Bawer’s While Europe Slept is adapted from Winston Churchill’s 1938 book While England Slept, which addressed England’s policy of appeasement towards Hitler’s Germany and a lack of preparation for WWII. Bawer makes a similar argument, asserting that Europe is not taking the threat of militant Islamic fundamentalism seriously enough. He divides the book into three sections, Before 9/11: Europe in Denial, 9/11 and After: Blaming Americans and Jews , and Europe's Weimar Moment: The Liberal Resistance and Its Prospects. The Weimar Republic was the federal republic established in Germany after WW1, which many historians ...

Introduction

Stalking refers to repeated unwanted attention or obsession targeting a particular individual that would make any reasonable person to feel apprehension or fear (Nadkarni & Grubin, 2000). For a behavior to qualify as stalking, it has to be intrusive and unwanted, and there must be a strong preoccupation with the victim. Stalking activities fall into three categories: following, communicating, and aggression (Nadkarni & Grubin, 2000). Following involves trailing victims to their workplaces and homes, and engineering coincidences. Communicating involves the use of anonymous phone calls, letters, gifts or emails. Aggression involves harassment, threatening victims’ friends and families, vandalism or spreading rumors meant to embarrass the ...

In the United States alone, statistics show that one in every four women experience domestic violence (NCADV, n.d.). The National Coalition against Domestic Violence (NCADV) reported that around 1.3 million women in the US have been victimized and subjected to physical assault by their partners. Although domestic violence affects both men and women, NCADV reiterated that 85 percent – the majority – of all victims are women. Other alarming facts about domestic violence is that in most cases, women do not report these violent incidents to the police due to fear. Moreover, in families, children witness violence between their parents, which ...

Personal accountability in leading a foreign congregation

Personal accountability in leading a foreign congregation The steady yet slow growth of the New Hope Church in America is an indication of commitment by the Korean-Americans to support the ministry's programs and cooperate in worship and fellowship. However, some negative notions imported from the Korean culture affect the success of the ministry's programs especially urban centers of America. Such notions such as the lack of sensitivity to community service are inherited by the new generation of believers from their elders.

Texas is considered the state with the most tolerant gun laws. This has initiated a constant debate on whether these laws are justified or not. Drug cartels have been named as one of the effects of this leniency (Fisanick 2010). Over the years, this vice has been on the steady rise; both in Texas and the neighbouring Mexico country. For some, once the government allows private ownership of guns, crime rates will reduce drastically. For others, the number of laws should be increased as a means to reduce the ever-rising crime rates. For others, however, gun laws play no role in ...

Recent decades have witnessed endless debates among environmentalists and economists on the economic and environmental effect of the current usage of Mexican land. With farmers supporting a policy to strengthen wine production in Mexico, real estate developers are interests in a strategy that would allow urban sprawl on Mexican land. Although, the two ideas are beneficial to Mexican economic development, there is increased concern of the environmental implication of these competing economic undertakings. Real estate developers are by large condemned for facilitating environmental degradation with limited consideration of its impacts on future generation (Johnson 21). On the other hand, wine ...

Owing to the seriousness of the issue, it is imperative that stakeholders try to devise measures to minimize cyberbullying with a view to protecting the victims who are almost always the young, unsuspecting internet users.

In the sociological study of the poor, two theories have emerged as to the nature and causes of poverty: The Culture of Poverty and the Situational View of Poverty. (Kerbo, 2003) These two theories have developed in response to the theory of Social Darwinism, which argues that the poor are in that condition because they lack the knowledge or skills to better their situation. (Kerbo, 2003) This theory, tied in with “Blaming the Poor” theories was challenged by two more sympathetic theories of poverty. (Kerbo, 2003) The Culture of Poverty theory was developed by anthropologist Oscar Lewis. (Kerbo, ...

Below is the history of American public schools in the early 19th century through the 21st century.

1900 -1915 At the start of the 19th century, American families rely on agriculture for their livelihood in which every member of the family, including the children had to work hard in order to survive. Most of them grew up without proper school or education. Children’s lives were focused around the family farm and helping their parents with the daily chores. Children would go to school only in the months where farms weren’t harvesting or planting which left them with less time for school (Kansas Historical Society, 2013). Too much work often prevented children from attending ...

Source Criticism

Source Criticism: “American Infantrymen Win World War I” In 1918 at the end of World War I (WWI) the American journalist, George Seldes, with three other American journalists, interviewed the German General and Field Marshall Paul von Hindenburg. The interview may have been the most important interview of WWI but ironically, none of the major newspapers ran the story. This was an incredibly important interview because Hindenburg had been the Army Chief of Staff starting on August 29, 1916. After Hindenburg was appointed to that position he appointed Erich Ludendorff to be his Quartermaster General. Hindenburg and Ludendorff ...

Introduction

It is obvious that our culture today is filled with victim mentality. This is a clear reflection of our society’s reality where it is easier for people to blame others because of their unhappy existence and situations (Morin, 2011). People lack the power to influence changes in their lives due to the perception that their lives element are far out of control. In most cases they tend to ask themselves, ‘why do bad things keep happening to me?’ These are habits that we find in so many people around us and at times we find ourselves in this situation. ...

A brief review of leadership and achievements

Abstract Frank Lorenzo has no parallels in the airline industry. Rising from a modest beginning he went to command the largest fleet in the world, outside the Soviet Union. Using unique fund raising abilities and cutting costs, he capitalized on the deregulation opportunities of the 1970s to the fore. However it was the attitude of a union buster, which made him considerably unpopular which even triggered the collapse of his airline empire. The unfortunate end of his career may not match what he achieved, but despite all these Lorenzo remains more of a myth today and an inspiration to future business ...

What are the three classifications of the functions of law? Summarize each classification and provide an example of each.

The functions of law fall under social control, dispute resolution and social change. Social control is the regulation of the actions of individuals.

Police officers making the arrest are official enforcers of criminal law and arrest is part of the formal law enforcement process. Dispute resolution is weighing the points raised by disputing parties to arrive at a legal settlement that ...

It goes without saying that life without good health and peace is of no relevance. The very purpose of living is defeated if there is an absence of just, equitable, peaceful, and moral existence of human minds. Undoubtedly, the matter becomes a cause of concern for anyone if it is degraded by the human minds. In this context, it makes good sense to assume that the peaceful co-existence of people without any differences is good for the mutual understanding, respect, and honor of one another’s lives and property. All of us know this that such a logical approach in life ...

Upon reading After Silence: Rape and my Journey Back by Nancy Venable Raine, I have come to a great many conclusions regarding my own experiences and opinions of the act.

Writing this book seven years after the event is evidence of tremendous forethought, research and reflection on her experiences. Given enough time ...
