Communication

During every sporting event there is always positive and negative communication. At a local sporting event, featuring a peewee league of young boys, I observed how fans communicated with each other and found it was primarily based on which team they were for, as well as if they felt their favorite player was being treated fairly.

My Personal Philosophy

There are three things I value more in life than anything else –education, camaraderie and integrity. However, these does not mean that everything else is worthless or has no value to me. In fact, I think that value is something that varies among people depending on how they were brought up and what they wanted to accomplish out of life. I value education because my parents reared me believing that a good education is one’s person only asset that cannot be taken away nor would run dry. Camaraderie is important for me because I believe ...

It is this common purpose that binds them together to create and identify characteristics that differentiates them from others. In reality, a subculture belongs to a bigger culture and yet, because of certain symbolisms, language, actions, behaviors, and beliefs, a subculture creates its own identity separate from the rest. For this paper, the focus of discussion is on computer gamers and what attributes they have that makes them a subculture of their own. Computer gamers are a remarkable group to study because of the growing interest in computer gaming, not ...

Policing is one of the most controversial of professions given the very nature of their office. They are at the cutting edge of societal reform, the brink of danger, battling crime face to face to keep the community and the larger society safe and secure. In this light, it is a noble profession, a group of heroes who places their very lives in danger for the good of many. But this is far from the image of the police we have. The police is equated with fear and, in a gross generalization, gives an impression of untrustworthiness and inefficiency. May it be a ...

Abstract

Society is an integral part of a man’s life. To be a part of a society, one has to fulfil societal expectations. These expectations require a person to behave in a certain way and to live a certain lifestyle. In other words, these expectations form the norms of the society.

Having tattoos is considered one such deviance. This paper talks about prevalence and importance of tattoos in military. The four important reasons ...

In a military context, Platoon Leader: A Memoir of Command in Combat provides an in-depth, detailed look at one young officer's rise through the ranks, learning the basic tools of leadership along the way. Learning leadership principles taken from a military context are some of the most important and hard-earned lessons available; the stakes of military service are far higher than any civilian setting, including the corporate sector, and so that lends the lessons learned from this book an added weight. When author James R. McDonough fails, lives are lost; while that is a very small possibility in the business world, this ...

In organisations, morale is an important facet of productivity and overall office attitudes; if people are happy, they work harder, and more gets done as a result.

Despite the factors that can diminish productivity and the effectiveness of humour initiatives, the end result can be overall positive.
