In 1947 The National Labor Relations Act of 1947 created the FMCS, or the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. This agency was independent and was created in part because of the labor chaos that came after WWII. Originally, it was created to help smooth labor relations, but one very important aspect of it was that it removed the role of labor mediation from the Department of Labor to itself.

Today this independent agency has the focus of preserving labor peace and also creating cooperation between labor-management relationships. They are headquartered in the nation’s capital, and have more than ...

Marriage has changed in the last century. Divorce rates are at all tie highs. Though divorce rates are up and this causes some people to think that there is are increased marriage crisis, Eli J. Finkel believes that this could be interpreted as a positive thing for the institution of marriage.

In the past marriage as an institution did not hold women as equal partners in the arrangement. In ...

Dutch (2013) used the contingency model of strategic human resource management to construct a new framework of human resources, strategy and culture in an organization. The current perspective of the contingency model involves aligning human resource management practices with themselves and with organizational strategy. The article posits that though this view is theoretically sound, there are challenges in its practicality. They fault the contingency model for failing to address the issues that affect both the HRM and strategy. Further, the article indicates that some of the HRM practices might be affected by strategy and vice versa. This ...

There are four specific types of communication flows that McPhee and Zaug (2000,2009) have described. The authors believe that the four communication flows are in fact, what organizations are all about. This is because organizations cater to four different kinds of audiences, so communicating with all of these is necessary. The first communication flow is the maintenance of relationships with members through membership related negotiations. The second communication flow is self structuring, i.e. how organizations act as formally controlled entities. The third communication flow is activity coordination. The last communication flow is institutional positioning. (McPhee & Zaug, 2000)

Research methods and sex differences, personality and culture

Researchers from the article have extensively used experimental research approach to analyze data on sex differences in personality traits.

Communication in the simplest and most basic sense and aspect refers to the art where one person passes and shares information to the recipient for the purposes of relaying information. It is imperative to note that communication does not necessarily refer to the conversation. Since there are several non-verbal cues and non-verbal messages that one could use in order to pass information (Alberts, Nakayama & Martin, 2007). In the dating and relationship aspect, communication is uniquely dependent on the personality and behavior of an individual rather than follow a holistic and universal pattern.

Introduction

In every democratic society, a country cannot survive on its own .It requires its neighboring countries to enhance its economic growth and development. To avoid conflict, all neighboring countries demarcate their borders to safeguard their resources and self-interest. Foreign policy relations enable countries to interact with each other especially in trading affairs and international policy discussions. To enhance a country’s external economies of scale dominance, it is necessary to observe the policies of other nations. Some countries advance their relations further to form a single union with common interests. For instance, United States of America was formed as a resolution of harmonious ...

The term “transnational gangs” has always been used to refer to the spread of Central American gangs such as Mara Salvatrucha into Washington DC, North Carolina and Maryland.

In January, the Congressional Research Service filed a report showing that these gangs were continuing to expand. Kamala Harris, the State Attorney General, feels like the term “transnational gangs” should also include the cooperation that is seen between the Mexican cartels and the California prison ...

The story ‘agreeable’ by Jonathan Frazen is a good example of how literature has used modern day life to communicate. The story uses modern day setting to communicate to the people.

The story uses different methods of characterization, themes, and setting. Unlike ‘Agreeable’, which was written in America, this story was written in Mexico in Spanish and later translated into English. These two short stories differ in terms of style characterization ...

Introduction

In the article, the writer makes the case that women have better instincts for the ecological sustenance of the earth. Her case is based on the fact that women are more fundamentally materially grouped in the ecology of the planet than men. She regards these instincts to human existence on the planet.

Mary approaches the argument from a Marxist, materialistic view combining it with ecofeminism and non-anthropocentricity. She argues that, there is no necessary conflict between a Marxist approach ...

The contemporary cultural milieu exudes a permissive attitude to sexuality and this pattern is also reflected in the popular culture and media portraitures of sexual behavior. It has also been noted that college students have erroneous notions regarding sexual norms which get influenced by the perception and influence of media.

Cultural shifts in dating have shown transformations with time and it was propagated that sexual behavior is not bound by the context of marital union.

The essay “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work” by Jean Anyon discusses the issue of inequality in educational approaches that teachers use for children from different social backgrounds.

Anyon observed the way classes were taught in five different schools that she referred to as “working class”, “middle-class”, “affluent professional” and “executive elite schools” according to the average income and social characteristics of the students’ families. The author found out that educational ...

The article by Maria and Daniel evaluates the informal support of children by parents after separation. According to the authors, researchers have focused more on the formal support where people have fixed amount of income and hence men are required to send a given amount of money to the children. In the case of low income earners and those who have incomes that vary from one time to another, the case is different and researchers have not looked at the effects of this on the fairness issue. Researchers have also ignored the informal support of children when mothers are remarried ...

The Licbbach and Zuckeman give a clear insight on the political science by distinguishing politics into two major aspects, comparative politics and international relations.

The kind of products that we often buy and consume is a reflection of our personality and our self-concept. People buy products that fit their tastes, preferences as well as their personality. People do not just buy products. They buy the products that they feel that best reflects whom they are. Every individual consumer has their own tastes, preferences and personality. The choice of the products will therefore differ largely due to this fact.

Introduction

According to Californian Supreme Court marriage is an individual fundamental right that gives an individual opportunity to share his or her life with the person of choice.

The law then governs everything on the land and therefore no individual should be allowed to stereotype any one subject to sexual orientation.
The United Nations Human Rights Commission had declared that women and men of any civilization, race and religion have the right to marry a spouse of his or her ...

English Composition – Reading Response Paper

There are literally thousands of languages that are being spoken in the world today. Each of course, is unique in their own way; each language has its own phonation, sound, rhymes and other distinct characteristics, but what is common among people who practice any one or two of the thousands of speakable languages available is that they all have a term that may be used to describe marriage or the religious and civil process of unifying two individuals who want to share the rest of their lives with one another. Society did not allow thinking outside the box when it ...

Leadership entails a social process where an individual commanding a group enlists the help of his/her subordinates to accomplish a given objective. The term relationship generally denotes family ties, but also refers to the state of binding or connecting persons. At the work place, meaningful relationships with colleagues help workers to accomplish their tasks effectively. With this regard, I support the view held by Drath that leadership is relationship.
According to Sloane and Drath (2) who strongly believe in the power of relationships to achieve results and positive change in organizations, it is prudent to lay the foundation for promoting productive ...

Debt Level vs GDP Growth

There is no doubt that the relationship between economic growth and debt levels is one of the most controversial topics that raise debates in discussions. It also generates varied interpretations among economic analysts and policymakers. The article structure in my opinion is essential as it provides arguments against previous conclusions and the authors' reasons to concede or not agree. Robert Pollin and Michael Ash (2012) have challenged previous findings by Rogoff and Reinhart on account of the methodology, omission and coding error. While Rogoff and Reinhart (2010) in their research concluded that, the average growth falls during periods when ...

There are, undoubtedly, aspects of the self that are tied inextricably to an individual’s culture. Because it is impossible to raise a child in a cultural vacuum, it is impossible to determine exactly what aspects of personality are determined by culture and which aspects are determined by birth; the relationship between culture and identity is certainly tightly bound. Markus and Kitayama, for instance, point out that people are capable of framing their sense of self in a multitude of different ways, but that their method of identity is invariably tied closely to their culture. Staples, on the other hand, suggests that ...

ABSTRACT

Gender is not genetically or biologically inherited and there is therefore no ‘natural’ division in gender relation between men who will always be dominant while women are confined to the domestic sphere. Gender relations have been socially and politically constructed over time, and among present-day sociologists are generally considered a social institution. As an institution, it is also related to other institutions such as the family, the economy and the state, as well as to race, region and social class. It is not a fixed and unchanging institution, however, just as masculinity and femininity are not monolithic, but one that has ...

The use of game theory in international politics is not a new thing. It has been used for a long time and hence very popular (Duncan, 26). The reappearance of the theory is due to its use in the economies of international politics as well as its function in the analysis of the strategies used by military in dealing with political issues. However the game theory does not give weight to the economic status of the military during analysis .Instead, it focuses on how states understand their own politics (Duncan, 31).This one weakness the theory has. One cannot understand the ...
