Essays on Acceptance

Anybody who has read or watched The Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice & Fire Series –would agree with me that it is a series that shows every facet of deception used by humans.
According to Merriam-Webster, the word “deceive” means, “to make someone believe something that is not true” or “to cause to accept true or valid what is false or invalid.”
Deception is a form of dishonesty that is used everyone, every day. And the characters in this book are able to show how it is done so to achieve what one wants; whether it is something Continue reading...

- Rationalization refers to the act of providing a seemingly logical (rational) explanation to a certain behavior that otherwise may seem weird or not adaptive. As a defense mechanism, it is an individual's way of finding a middle ground between the Id and the Superego. The Id is in charge or urges and emotions, and the Superego reflects our perception of what society expects and what is considered acceptable. When a certain desire or emotion does not coincide with societal expectations, even in terms of not being within the acceptable norms, it creates tension between the Id and the Continue reading...

Poetry and song share common themes or ideas. Each idea is carefully crafted to create a mood or tone, to tell a story, or simply to entertain an audience. Either way the reader or listener is left with different feelings and emotions. The writers make use of figurative devices, rhymes, rhythm and imagery to create the overall mood and atmosphere. In the poem “Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickenson and the song “Flirted With You All My Life” by Vic Chesnutt, both writers view the inevitable nature of death and the impact death has on Continue reading...

This is a very good investment option for Dara. It is not as conservative as the investment choices that she’s made in the past. There is an element of risk when an investor puts their cash into a one year old company that has had some favorable press when it received its early stage financing and, then more good press when its chips were accepted by a major cell phone manufacturer.

In this article, Kawana Williams reports on the reactions of people about the scandalous saga that involved the marriage of Tina and Teddy Campbell. After their marriage, the two partners did not take their vows seriously. Instead, Tina did not properly execute her duties as a wife. Instead, she stepped on her man, became so arrogant and never gave him any attention. What mattered to her was her freedom and career. However, the result was more hurting as her husband decided to cheat on her. Upon realizing this, she owned up and took a full responsibility for her husband’ Continue reading...

A few decades ago, beinghomosexual was resentful. Homosexuals were strictly judged and condemned for their sexual preferences and were presented as people with mental illness. In fact, though, homosexual people were not treated as mentally ill, rather than annoying parasites that societies had to ban in order to gain back the lost balance and morals. It was considered unethical to choose a partner of the same sex and have a common life together as a couple. Back in the 1940s and 1950s, gay bullying was worldwide, and homophobia was very serious in the US at that time (McCormack). It Continue reading...

It is widely accepted that the men and women accepted into American’s military are upstanding citizens. They are the best and the brightest the country has to offer. As such, there are rules that they must adhere by while they are in uniform to ensure that they give off this quality. They must look neat, clean, and orderly. Hair must be cut evenly and in a timely manner. Men growing facial hair may only grow mustaches that do not exceed the width of their lips; no beards, long hair, or shaggy sideburns are tolerated.

In proposal 1, which indicate that No subcontracting Clause, the union accepted it since it will be able to limit those proposals to subcontract out the union’s roles especially where there is a solemn business need.

The Union also accepted that a 7 calendar days advance notification will be appropriate for the management to reschedule all replacements Continue reading...

1. What is the purpose of ethical conduct, and on what criteria would you evaluate your conduct? Ethics is collective values that define the accepted standard of right or wrong. Individual values are determined by factors such as beliefs, culture, upbringing, and exposure and life experiences. Knowledge of being right or being wrong is not a guarantee that a person will always behave in an ethical manner. For a person to acquire good moral traits, they must willingly abide by the acceptable ethical standards. Ethical conduct is like a guiding principle in making a sound choice or steering a Continue reading...

This is a case of Juli and Steve and their positions on the issue whether the release or publication of certain works of art, which in their case was the Laramie Project should be regulated in an event that not doing so creates the possibility of igniting public unrest or compromising the community of individuals who are not involved in the dispute. In the case, Steve argues that the public release of the Laramie Project should be cancelled and be ultimately banned from the campus. Juli, on the other hand argues that there is nothing wrong with publicly releasing Continue reading...

Admissions and Confessions

An admission can be defined as a statement made by a person that points towards the guilt of the maker of the statement and more often than not suggests participation in the crime. Admissions are usually made on specific facts in issue. Despite the fact that an admission tends to point towards the guilt of the maker of the statement, admission does not construe acceptance of personal responsibility for an allegedly committed crime.
On the other hand a confession is a fully corroborated statement acknowledging all the essential elements of a crime and as such construes acceptance of personal Continue reading...

Fathers’ Sons and Brothers’ Keepers is an article written by Charles M. Blow. The article was published in the New York Times on 28th February 2014. He examines the lives of young men and the roles played by their fathers in their development and character.

Essay on my personal journey

My life has been characterized by constant struggles against various hurdles. It is a difficult world to adapt to in normal circumstances, but it is an altogether different story for people with different ways and traits. The world seeks the segregation and differentiation at all levels; it is nobody’s fault, however, as the world demands competition and struggle for survival the fittest. The identification of people within various groups gives them the hope and means to survive the realities of this world. While unity of purpose is a good thing, it is used to a detriment when people Continue reading...

Racism is an issue that occurs everywhere regardless if it is at work or in school. It scars the cultural, economic, and political life of an individual whether acts of racism are done subtly or not. In many ways, racial and ethnic discrimination blur the lines of what are accepted and unaccepted norms and behaviors in society. People who have issues about other people’s races or ethnicity usually use violence and verbal abuse to show superiority and make others feel inferior. In schools and universities, one of the issues that confront America now is whether or not to Continue reading...

Review and analysis

In the article, Harris et al. (1999) uses parallel group trial, randomised, controlled and double-blind designs with the intention of providing comprehensive and unswerving data. I find it rather unsatisfactory to use such designs in a small sample size of only 990 patients in a single hospital (Harris et al., 1999). The clarity, reliability and dependability of the data could have been improved by using the various designs in different hospitals or areas to increase the coverage and enable comparison. It would also have eliminated the financial constraint that seems to have adversely affected the final analysis of the Continue reading...

A peace officer is a constitutional officer who is under an obligation to uphold the tenets of the constitution and have a high moral standing. Bluntly put, the ethical world for peace officers is quite complex. Besides the moral standing expected of them in ensuring that they are persons of character who are governed by universal ethical duties as encapsulated in the Six Pillars of Character, they are also subject to professional ethical standards that govern the profession. Since they constitute public officers of employees, they are also bound by a wide set of principles that avail an overarching Continue reading...

There are four American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Standards of reporting. First is that the auditor should say whether the financial statements are submitted in a manner conforming to accounting principles which are generally accepted. Second, the auditor of show in the auditor’s report circumstances which the principles have not been observed consistently currently in relation to the prior period.

There are two major types of contracts; written and unwritten. Unwritten contracts are also known as oral contracts. Written contracts are usually a signed agreement between the parties. Written contracts prevail in courts of law over oral contracts when there is a dispute. Some contracts are partly written and partly oral.
I have come to appreciate the purpose of the contract in my personal life. Contracts allow parties to enter into business deals within the scope of the law. Contract formation acts as the evidence for the formation of the contract. Contract formation helps the parties to the contracts Continue reading...

A social norm is an accepted behavior in the society. Norms have been gradually developed in the society because of interactions among people who live together to form a society or community. Examples of norms are washing hands before eating. Looking at someone when he or she is speaking to you, giving someone his or her personal space and many more. Norms vary from society to society. There are societies that consider a certain mode of behavior wrong. However, when we observe another society, the specific behavior is accepted. For instance, in an American society, shouting when calling somebody Continue reading...

Introduction

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the speed of sound at room temperature using the microphone connected to a computer. Sound travels at a speed which is comparatively higher than the speed many objects. Consequently, the determination of speed of sound is technically challenging task. Most experiments rely on echo which is a reflection of sound to estimate this speed. The speed of sound at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature of 0º C is 331.5m/s. The experimental value of the speed of sound is expected to be less than the accepted value because low winter temperatures.

In his book Animal Rights and Human Obligations Peter Singer makes some interesting arguments concerning the issue of animal rights.

His main argument is that just as we, as a society, have learned that all people are equal, regardless of skin color or gender, we need to learn that all animals are equal, regardless of species.
Because this assertion may, at first encounter, seem absurd, he quickly clarifies what he means by it. Singer does not suggest that all other animals have exactly the same rights as people have. He uses the example of men and women:
“Many feminists hold that women have the right to an abortion on request. It does not follow that since these same people Continue reading...

Introduction
Beatty, Samuelson and Bredeson (2013: 252-235) identified seven elements for the creation of a valid contract between two principals: offer, acceptance, consideration, legality, capacity, consent, and writing. The offer must be of serious intent, reasonably definite, and communicated to the offeree (Ashcroft and Ashcroft, 1999: 57-58). The acceptance must unconditionally agree to the terms and communicated (Beatty, Samuelson and Bredeson, 2013: 252, 231). A consideration must be received by both parties (Ashcroft and Continue reading...

Ethics are defined in the Business Dictionary as: “The basic concepts and fundamental principles of decent human conduct.” The definition also refers to “universal values such as the essential equality of all men and women, human or natural rights, obedience to the law of land, concern for health and safety and, increasingly, also for the natural environment” (Business Dictionary n.d.).
Ethical standards are very much ingrained in a particular culture and – more specifically – are a result of an individual’s upbringing within society in his/her native culture. Because that is so, individuals within one family are quite likely to Continue reading...

Q. Define the terms conflict management and negotiation. How are these terms related?
Conflict is defined as a situation that arise from incompatibilities among two or more parties. When there is some incompatibility between some individual and group, then the situation is called conflict situation. Conflict can be good to an acceptable level but too high level of conflict can be harmful as it reduced the efficiency and productivity. So, conflict management is an important management function. Conflict management means the process of reducing the incompatibilities. Conflict management is a process of identifying the conflicts, the cause of conflicts Continue reading...

SCENARIO ONE

Conflicts at workplace are common and especially in healthcare where a single mistake can result in greater loss. In this situation the internist is speaking louder and being angry but he has not used abusive language which means that there is a chance to settle the conflict easily. Moreover, until the time of conflict there had not been some great loss or repercussion which means there is a chance that the conflict can be resolved in a friendly way. So, for this purpose, I would suggest that one party should remain calm which in this case should be the Continue reading...

Introduction

Every single human being would agree that we each carry our own burden. Personal struggles define us because they influence how we act, make decisions, and plans all towards the goal of unburdening ourselves. One of philosophical questions raised in author John Green is looking for Alaska involve the labyrinth as a metaphor for human beings’ personal struggles. As an individual, one would navigate or travel through the tangled path such as the labyrinth and dealing with our personal struggles is similar to the feeling of being trapped in a maze, and attempting and hoping that one would be Continue reading...

Office floor cleaning is held as a service offered by the UCC. Since the UCC article 2 & article 9 covers only sales and/or cleaning as a franchise service or as an added complementary action to a sale, Serviceco’s contract will not be enforceable under the Uniform Commercial Code. Therefore, we need to subject it to the common law.

For our analysis, let us first do the following

Step I: The conditions of a contract which make it legally enforceable.
A contract is an agreement between two parties under which there is a
- An expression of interest from one party
- An offer from the second party.

The musical, “Kinky Boots”, is a comedic, yet dramatic representation of how society views people with a different sexuality and how they react to controversial issues. For this specific musical, transvestites are presented as “loud, unattractive, and full with underlying issues and problems” (Kelly). It depicts an unrealistic dramatization of how transvestites are considering that they are often portrayed in a comedic manner, not actually giving justice to who transvestites really are. In the story, the main character is Lola, a black male who dresses as a transvestite and is not accepted by his own father. While stereotypes often Continue reading...

Introduction

The Laramie Project is bounded upon the presentation of how and why hate crime is committed by individuals supposedly having particular negative disposition with regards controversial issues and culture that binds the society. The movie presents the case of Matthew Shepard being beaten to death because of being ‘gay’. However, beyond this theme, there is more to the story that is shared in the movie. It mostly depicts the overall conjunction that distinguishes how social culture could dictate the ways by which humans would perceive the severity of a particular issue and how these matters would actually affect them Continue reading...

One of the challenges faced by supervisors is the management and practice of ethical decision making. An organization presents itself with several ethical dilemmas.

Are Men Held To Unrealistic Standards in Terms of Gender Stereotypes and Expectations

When people think of gender inequality and unfair standards they usually think of woman and the struggles they have endured and continue to endure in the world. They faced gender stereotypes like a woman’s place in in the kitchen or the home not in the working man’s world. They still continue to face a world that holds them to different expectations. We don’t often stop to think of the struggle men are constantly dealing with. The truth is men also face their own challenges to try standing outside of the normal expectations and not be labeled Continue reading...

Introduction

In any undertaking or transaction, it is essential that the parties are guided by law. Contracts play the role of binding the parties to an agreement that they are obligated to perform some task. Basically, a contract refers to an agreement between two or more parties. The enforceability of a contract in a court of law is essential in that the parties to a contract can get a remedy if the other party fails to perform their duties. A typical contract should have an offer, acceptance and legal relations (Beale, 2002). These are necessary for any contract to be Continue reading...
