The media show violence, ethnic stereotypes, and stories of addiction not to promote bad behavior but to enlighten the young people. These kinds of programs are nutritional and ...

The video Eating Snakes is a great example on how adults can categorize the kind of thinking that a child has in terms of their age, knowledge, judgment, and communication abilities. The child in the video is portraying a symbolic or dramatic play that transpires during the preoperational stage, considering Jean Piaget's three stages of cognitive play. In this stage, the child is not yet able to think realistically but he is able to converse by using the proper language. He is still in the phase of having perceptual imageries based on his own intuition like eating snakes, which is very unusual ...

Change: The Expected and The Unexpected

It has been said time and again that nothing in this world is constant, except for change. Change is not a question of “if it will happen” but “when it will happen”. We are all up for changes at different points in our lives, and it really is futile to resist change. Instead, we should equip ourselves with the right tools such that we can deal with the changes in our lives, when they happen. Sometimes we are given a heads up; thus, enabling us to prepare ourselves. However, sometimes change comes to us by surprise. And because we ...

According to Bryant Thomson, priming is a process that occurs when one’s exposure to mediated communication activates some related thoughts that were previously stored in his or her mind. Messages passed through the media, for example in terms of adverts often trigger thoughts, concepts, learning or even knowledge that has been leant in the past and that is related to the message content. This process is what constitutes “priming” and in addition to just activating related thoughts and concepts, it can also influence behavior. This paper seeks to explore this concept by using an example of a media advert ...

I was leaving home to go to church that morning and it seemed like it could rain and I could get wet, but then something at the back of my mind reminded me that there are times that it looks like it could rain and it never rains. Any decision that I would make, that is, going to church or not solely depended on whether it would rain or not.

It can contribute changes in the outlook of life through writing. It is everything because I considered a pen as my life and my friend. Without a pen, authors, writers, or artists are nothing, for them a pen is a friend ...

I think, Siddhartha Gautama’s quest to find enlightenment is not a question of noble action or sacred call, but, it is the understanding of one’s convictions. Siddhartha Gautama left everything he had for the sake of humanity and for the betterment of humanity. The great one left his family in good hands and with great wealth. Leaving one’s family might be considered bad in today’s culture, but, the great one sacrificed his family and his preaching lead to the happiness of many families for thousands of years.

An opinion is described as a particular understanding that one has towards another person, a situation or simply a particular matter (Darner, 2008). Most often than not, an opinion is specifically formulated by a person based on his knowledge and the experiences that develop his personal perception about an issue that he might be involved in. Relatively, such elements mandate a profound consideration on how thoughts have specifically been considered to create a distinct representation on how and why one believes on something. On the other hand, a majority of opinions is understood as the collection of opinions; a centralized distinction on how one particular group specifically ...

History plays a very important role in the development and progress of humanity. Social, cultural and political religious factors play a crucial role in shaping a society. All these factors evolve in a particular way throughout the history to give the society or world a particular shape. The world of today has also experienced such historical evolution. The economy is becoming increasingly global, in which an idea of uniformity and global culture is embedded. But on the other hand, despite the increasing move or evolution towards uniformity, the extremism in the world is also increasing. The reason for that is hidden in the past ...

In our speedy world with constant run for so-called better life, we often forget to live. We cannot abandon our ambitious and let it go. As a result, we are not satisfied with ourselves, relatives, and the whole world. However, there is always way to find harmony and joy in a daily routine which will help you to achieve encouraging results sooner. We should not forget that little things might turn out more rewarding than something pompous. To my mind, ‘little pleasures’ are different for everybody, but the main purpose is to restore balance with usual things. Generally, it does ...

According to the article, God rid me of god; there is a common understanding in the society that for an individual to be a Christian he/she must become a Christian. Modernity has changed the current religious community, hence an emerging church. The current Christianity involves the concept of ‘being’ and ‘destination’. For an individual to remain saved, he only needs to become a Christian and be a member of the church. Christianity is founded on the belief that God’s communication with humankind is through revelation.

Thinkers reasoned out the issue of revelation and concealment arguing that beliefs rely on clear and ...

Criticism involves the utilization of standards in order to make a judgment for the purpose of bringing positive change. Critical theory argues that we should be inquisitive about the production of enlightenment its dissemination and its connection to influence and how this impacts on the individuals; how it limits and contributes to the enhancement of our freedoms (Art 2011). Are we bound to a dominating freedom system or does it offer us a liberating system of government? The theory originates from the Frankfurt school in Germany.

Critical theorists begin with the thought that men and women are essentially enclosed in a world that ...

I think the type of primary that the open primary is the most effective at accomplishing the goal. This is because, while competitors may try appealing to the great party wing to obtain its selection, there is need of independent or sways voters who may appear more moderate and reflect a significant portion of the entire electorate. Holding an open primary would also get rid of intersect voting, by which those members of a particular party are registered with each other to influence its main election.

Having primaries often closed tend to lead to extreme candidates who appeal more to hardcore ...

Effect of the concepts

Through the concepts, I understood the reason as to why different individuals behave in an organization in the way they do. The employees are distinguished according to the roles they perform, this explains the need for segmentation according to departments with different priorities.

The organizational culture holds importance as it influences the activities in their formulation and implementation.
