Essays on Definitions

Words have different definitions according to experience of those receiving the words. The meaning of the words nature has different connotations, and these connotations have changed according to the changing views of society. Thus, the definition of the word “nature” is more fluid than words on a page might indicate. The etymology of the word comes from the Latin “nat,” meaning to be born. This word morphed into the more current - at least in terms of language - “natura,” which has several different meanings. The first meaning of this root is the idea of birth. From a religious ...

Child neglect and abuse are serious issues that may induce lasting adverse effects on the victims. In the US, nearly five kids die daily at the hands of abusers (Child Help, 2012). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2010), over 3 million cases of child neglect and abuse were filed in 2008.

The manner in which the arguments are constructed presents with various positives and negatives. This critique will highlight the positives and negatives with the help of literature from other scholars. Schulte ( ...

The fact that there are numerous definitions of leadership and neither can stand on its own proves that leadership is a complex subject. In essence, leadership is about instilling confidence in people. Furthermore, it is the “we” thing that requires both the leader and the subordinate. Furthermore, it is the willingness to take the blame. Also, leadership is about acting so that others will want to follow. It unbelievable that even today we are still trying to figure out who a leader is and what leadership entails. Sadly, even the three most recent theories; situational, transformational, and strength-based leadership ...

It exists independently from the current situation and the main task of the risk manager is to identify the threat on time and come up with a plan how to avoid it, prevent it, ...

Spirituality is explained differently by numerous scholars belonging to different epochs and periods. Some describe it as "the human response to God's gracious call to a relationship with himself “(Zinnbauer et al., 1997); nowadays there is a tendency to affiliate spirituality to individual phenomenon and define as “personal transcendence, supra-conscious sensitivity, and meaningfulness “(Zinnbauer et al., 1997). Mentioned definitions can be true, yet, what matters is the angle one looks at. This paper aims to tackle different associations and definitions of the term spirituality. Furthermore, it looks at the interconnection between the notions of scientism, postmodernism along with the ...

While language is specific to humans, because this race is the only one capable of speaking due to its physical construction, communication is common to all other animals, regardless of species (Yule, 1996). Communication does not require words, but body language, signs, behaviors, etc., which transmit information, often unintentionally. On the other hand, language consists of sounds and syllables that shape an intentional information sharing process (Yule, 1996). Language is characterized by: displacement (the capacity of speaking about past, present and future), arbitrariness (the form of human language), productivity (the creativity to utter endless utterances), cultural transmission (passing ...

A matter of definitions seem to be always tricky because of the fact that several words or even lines cannot give a whole picture of a particular notion. Numerous existing definitions to one and the same notion can definitely prove that creating the one is by fat not an easy task, as one idea or notion may involve different approaches to it. The definition of reading is not exclusion. Because of diversity of reading materials, its roles, function and purposes, providing an exact definition of reading is truly challenging experience. Having listened to my heart and feelings, I would ...

According to Fulkerson and Thompson, different theories and definitions exist as to the nature, interpretation and value of social capital. They argue, however, that “social capital offers unique potential to integrate ideas from each of sociology’s major traditions” (Fulkerson & Thompson 538). This diversity and contestation over the definition of social capital mean it is still a developing paradigm. However, most definitions by sociologist show that social capital is a concept used to refer to relationships, resources, networks and individuals. It includes such aspects as civic engagement and collective action. Further, Putnam notes that social capital in the form ...

The main objective of adopting marketing in nonprofit organizations is to tackle the increasing competition among organizations that offer similar services to the society. The rise in the levels of globalization has exposed the local nonprofit ...

Intelligence is a broad term which has various meaning attached to it, in all the languages of the world. Philosophers have been trying to understand and explain the meaning of the term ‘intelligence’ since centuries, and each one of them has come up with their own exemplification of the term. For example, Einstein terms intelligence, not as the occupation of knowledge, but it is more of imagination and creativity. Socrates, on the other hand, believes that intelligence is the self-knowledge of claiming that one knows nothing. Moving from philosophers, people have considered understanding the meaning of the term from ...

Emersonian Private Behavior in Goffman’s Analysis

When Erving Goffman wrote The Presentation of Self in 1956, his intention was to help people learn techniques that would help them sustain favorable impressions communicated to others in any social situation, including contingencies that he believed common enough to apply to many people (15). Little did he know perhaps that decades later, his theories will continue to hold interest in the field of sociology. In fact, as early as 1970, Joan Emerson wrote her own expanded exploration of the Goffmanian theories in her classic article “Behavior in Private Places”. In the following ...

International research guidelines require that “children provide assent for participation” in a recent studies and “their parent’s consent” (Baines 960). However, these guidelines have been considered to be controversial. This is because the international research guidelines can be confusing as it pertains to the definition of assent and who will be eligible for providing assent or consent. It has been posited that relying on both child’s assent and the parent’s consent is unethical because it can affect the relationship between the child and the parent. Therefore, based on the evidence provided, it ...

Do you see the concept of the ‘new woman’ and ‘new man’ in our culture today?

When examining the template of either a new man or woman, it is important to consider that the boundaries constituting their identity is relatively fluid in nature and will ascribe more or less likely to the defined model as well as conforming more or less at different times depending on circumstance; therefore, the concept is wholly organic. In examining the new woman or man's identity generally and according to its marked boundaries, it can be suggested that the overall concept still holds a degree of relevance. However, the unsettling of the boundaries between masculinity and femininity in terms of ...

Over the years, several definitions of a cult have emerged. Even though some views are quite contrary to the actual intentions of these particular groups, perhaps there exist reasons why people think so. In sociology and other social sciences, cults have been described as being either semi-religious or religious grouping whose members are restrained by a single individual or grouping (Lorne 23). However, a theologically based understanding of a cult has it that a cult is just but a religious group that derives from a particular religion implicitly or explicitly denying one or more doctrines of the major religion. ...

Modzelewski and Abramson (145) outline different definitions or ideologies of subcultures that arose from Chicago School Tradition, the Birmingham Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies and the Post-subcultural era. This essay attempts to understand how the definition and ...

Percentages are very useful in day to day activities and can be a handy way of writing fractions, making comparisons and describing change. For example, in a class test where a student scores 7 points out of a possible 10, and as a fraction, this is expressed as 7/10. The same can also be expressed as a percentage where the fraction 7/10 is multiplied by 100 percent. In this case 7/10*100%= 70%. Therefore, the student scored 70 percent of the total mark in the test. On the other hand, percentages can also be used to describe change. For ...

The concept of error deals with the uncertainties made in measurements, which are hard to correct. Error, therefore, does not mean blunder. Error is divided into two categories, which include random and systematic errors. Accuracy, on the other hand, is the rate at which information matches the accepted or true values. As stated earlier, error is either random or systematic. Systematic errors are those that “tend to shift all measurements in a systematic way, so their mean value is displaced” (Error Analysis, n.d). These errors occur when there are wrong calibrations on the equipment of use or the failure ...
