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 ...

Ethics calls to treat a man as the aim and never treat man merely as a means. Ethics is a philosophy of morals, values, and ethos.

Judging the Quality of English Judging the Quality of English There are two main approaches that can be used to judge the standard of people’s English, both spoken and written. The prescriptive approach relies on the use of a set of rules and standards that prescribe how English should be used, whilst the descriptive approach relies more on an understanding of how English is used as a tool for communication in reality (McBee Oryulak, 2012). These two different approaches give an insight into how judgements can be made about the quality of the language. The purpose of this ...

Mapplethorpe stands out as one of the most dynamic and nonconventional artists of the 1970's. At a time when sexuality issues were discussed in low tones, and, behind the curtains, he came forth and did photography that was beyond imaginations of the conservatives, and above the expectations of the liberals. Robert's art rose above the push for LGBT rights, to a level of comfort with being gay or lesbian. His other fascinations were beauty and nature. The racial debate featured in some of his photography, where he combined sexuality and race agenda in the same pictures to provide a ...

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter is one of the most famous novels by the American romantic writer. While the novel is well-known for its depiction of the relationships between the characters, and the romantic plots and subplots, the novel also has great value as a historical study of the Puritan period. Puritan society was a highly gendered society, with strict gender roles for men and women, and a well-established patriarchal society. Explorations of the novel, and of the depiction of Hester’s character, her punishment, and her actions in the novel can help reveal whether Hawthorne was realistically ...

Nowadays it seems to be evident that employees are under the permanent influence of their employers. Therefore, many of the aspects of the employees’ lives have the large outer impact of their workplace and the team of colleagues. However, there should also exist another part of the workers’ actions, which are definitely out of their organization’s reach. This necessity is a natural need of privacy, which concerns the private life and time beyond the borders of their enterprise. Nevertheless, this distinction between the private life and the work time creates some empty space, which creates a well debatable ...

It can surely be said that the extract from the Bible called “The Sermon on the Mount” plays the role of ethical foundation for every Catholic Christian.

Although some people might find these rules too strict (for example, Christianity doesn’t allow a divorce), they can greatly increase the quality of human relationships once they ...

While the bulk of the poem Capital Punishment by Sherman Alexie concentrates on an Indian facing capital punishment through the eyes of the prison cook, the last few lines take the focus off of the man about to be executed and places it upon the reader themselves.

A key idea of this therapy is that in a certain psychological setting, the attainment of individual potential entails being sociable, the desire to be close to people ...

The premise for the science and specialty of rationale is two actualities: the way that individuals think, and the way that idea has a structure. That structure can be classified from different purposes of view and for different purposes. Case in point, a physiologist or doctor may recognize cerebrum movement of the autonomic nervous framework (e.g. breathing) from movement of the frontal projections (unsure thought). A moralist may recognize musings that are deliberate, and under our control, from those that are automatic, since we are dependable just for what is under our control. A Marxist would recognize contemplations as ...

I sometimes look different on the people with totally different values that mine. The judgment happens based on my moral standards and beliefs. On one hand I am fascinated how our ...

In moral knowledge, the focus is on the pursuit of good, which is similar to the scientific knowledge pursuit of the truth.

QUESTION 1

ABSTRACT The division of labor is one of the most important elements of social theory, and the perspectives of Karl Marx, Fredrich Engels and Emile Durkheim on the DOL heavily determine their visions for the future. For Marx and Engels, the division of labor is an inherently harmful mechanism by which the proletariat is exposed to class struggle; through a process of social revolution and class consciousness, the people would rise up and create an egalitarian, communist society out of the ashes of Communism. Durkheim, meanwhile, believes in the idealized form of the division of labor as a consequence ...

Lorenzo Lotto. Venus and Cupid.

Lorenzo Lotto’s “Venus and Cupid” painting is one of the most innocent and playful presentations of nudity. My first impression of the painting was - the color.

Introduction

Criminal justice administration is a challenging role since it determines the outcomes of operations conducted by any law enforcement agency. The decisions made by individuals in this role provide the infrastructure to prevent crime, uphold the law, serve and protect the people, and maintain the peace. The professional conduct of such administrators is often under threat due to undue pressure from local politicians, organized crime leadership, and even a Federal or State law enforcement agency. The chances for succumbing to pressure are high when ethics are lacking. Ethics influence the moral decisions that administrators make. Ethical behavior constitutes to ...

The modern study of personality traces its origins to Carl Gustav Jung and his magnum opus Psychologische Typen.

The perceiving function involved sensation and intuition whereas the judging function was comprised of thinking and feeling. Katharine Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Myers, based their groundbreaking questionnaire on Jung’s analysis while offering minor modifications of the theory. The original goal of the questionnaire was to aid in the empowerment of women in the workplace by determining what jobs they would feel most ...

Moral luck emerges when one is treated well or praised regardless of the fact that the outcome of what has led him or her to be praised is dependent on other factors that are beyond his or her control.

He gave an example of two reckless drivers where one causes an accident and the other does not. The fact the driver who has caused ...
