The combination of these factors was hurting ...

Reflection

As you reflect on the assumption of Theory X and Theory Y, how would you describe your own philosophy of leadership? With consideration of the both theories, I would claim that my philosophy of leadership do not come to such extremes as revealed in the assumptions, but rather lies in the balance and comparatively equal distribution of those who would fall under the category of theory X, and those who would belong to the ones as outlined by theory Y. My positive attitude in life and towards leadership leads me closer to the Theory-Y, which assumes that most people ...

There was a time when nurses were not included in malpractice and negligence lawsuits, but that is no longer true. Today, nurses are included with doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers and agencies when the outcomes of patient treatments are undesirable.

For this reason, focus has centered on the types, incidences, and ways to prevent actions that cause patients harm and may result in expensive and license-threatening litigation ...

In 399 BC, one of the greatest ancient thinkers, Socrates, faced the trial upon the accusations of his corrupting influence on the Athenian youth, rejection of gods recognized by the Athenian state and invention of new gods. In the course of the trial, the philosopher was given an opportunity to defend himself, and his speech interpreted by Plato under the title Apology has survived until nowadays as a prominent example of rhetoric and argumentation. Socrates moves from explanations of his actions to critique of the values and misconceptions of his accusers (particularly, Meletus). Although one would expect a person ...

In recent years, there has been much discussion among sociologists as to the nature of crime and whether or not it is socially constructed. Generally, crime is an action or behavior that defies criminal law, and the fact that laws vary from place to place and between cultures automatically supports the argument that crime is socially constructed. Some interesting arguments focus on those who have power to make such laws and their motivations for doing so. There is a legal distinction between crime and deviance, in that while deviance goes against social norms, it does not break any actual ...

Any high school student would know that the criminal justice system is supposed to protect the innocent and punish the guilty but those who enter college and take criminal justice courses will argue the system is not as flawless as law enforcement would like the public to think.

Furthermore convicts who have perpetrated serious crimes such as first degree ...

People often juxtapose their world to the world of nature. More and more often modern people, in contrast to those living in ancient times, express an opinion that they are masters on the earth and, therefore, have a right to exercise dominion over animals, plants, and nature on the whole. However, in most cases, people are just slaves of circumstances and of the environment in which they happen to exist. Disgrace, a Booker-prize winning novel by J.M. Coetzee (1999), is all about that coexistence of the two worlds – the world of nature and the world of people who want ...

We have recently come to a time where college education has grown to mean little apart from the increasing concern over high college tuition. Maybe it is only fair given the unreasonably huge cost which the colleges are charging, one which is rising even faster than inflation itself. But it is worth exploring the true benefit which is beyond the monetary cost itself here. College is far beyond its worth in money and people from previous generations are quite likely to be in agreement of what college meant and the benefits that it brought into their lives. With all ...

ABSTRACT

One of the interesting unique aspects of the American legal system is that it really is two systems, namely one at the federal level and one at the state level.

Conversely, the state legal system focuses on matters state specific matters such as education and healthcare. Two areas, however, where the state and federal legal system often interact and occasional collide is immigration and crime. The 2012 Supreme Court case, ...

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

In order for us to discuss academic integrity at “xx University”, we must first understand what it means to be part of a community. In simplistic terms, community is defined as a group of people. Usually this group of people share similar values, governance (laws and expectations), hobbies, interests, live in the same area, etc. We are all members of multiple communities. For example, if you live in the residential halls you are a part of your residential community; fraternity and sorority members are part of the Greek community; and we are all members of the “xx University”community.

Human society has been based on mere moral factors that are the basis of governing the behavioral aspect of any particular society.

After a read of Margaretta Midura’s 2013 article dubbed John v. Jennifer, A Battle of the Sexes, it is impossible to remain disinterested in the impact of gender on one’s employment opportunities.

On the contrary, the employers that one seeks to impress with good grades and a university degree might harbor prejudices that will create another hurdle based on the sexes. That is what Midura implies in John v. Jennifer. According to the author, in the fields of science, technology, engineering, ...
