Essays on Behaviors

The definition of leadership has been argued by many people as dependent on the fact that the leaders might be genetically related or that leadership might be a trait that is acquired from the daily knowledge acquisition. Leadership attracts both personality of a person and their talent as well. However, for a person to make a good leader, they must have the urge and the passion for leading others. To make a great leader an individual must have the urge and desire to lead. Despite the fact that a person might have the talent and the technical training, what ...

Jim used the first leadership style under the situational theory of high directive-low supportive. In the leadership style, the manager addresses goal achievement and communication levels. However, he or she allocates minimal time in developing supportive behaviors amongst the employees.

Introduction

The most severe discriminations and oppressions of all times had been based on race and gender. Women and people of color had been subjects to this mistreatment because of their gender and races respectively. Societies have always tolerated the exploitation of women by men. Women have being viewed as the weak creature within the society for a long time with consequential oppression (Glenn 5). On the other hand, the people of color have been viewed by the white people as being the primitive races. This has made them be poorly regarded, and to some extent heavily exploited and discriminated ( ...

The recent ANZ suspected interbank interest rate rigging, CBA’s CommInsure denial of compensation to legitimate claims from terminally ill patients, and the Macquarie Group ...

Some of the senses highlighted by Edelson (2017) include visual senses such as hand-flapping repetitive blinking, and staring at lights. The self-stimulatory behavior involving the auditory senses include the snapping of fingers and the tapping of the fingers. Others senses that are related ...

Lewin came up with a three-stage model that is quite essential in the nursing practice. The model involves three stages: unfreezing, changing and refreezing. The main goal of the unfreezing stage is to create awareness on how the prevailing level of acceptability is impeding the effectiveness of service delivery in the organization. Examination of the previous processes, behaviors, organizational structures, and ways of thinking is significant in showing everyone how necessary change is. Lewin states that after people have been enlightened on the need for change, then the organization can transition into the new state of being. This is ...

The transitional phase between childhood and adulthood is a stage in human development and growth commonly described as adolescence. This stage begins at the age of around 11 to 13 years with the start of puberty which means the development of the reproductive processes. In the United States, adolescence is defined as the age span of 10 to 24 years (Edelman, Mandle & Kudzma, 2014). Unlike childhood stages where growth is slow and steady, adolescence is a period characterized by rapid changes in cognitive, physical, psychosocial, moral and spiritual growth as the shift from childhood to young adulthood takes place. ...

Abstract

Some theories focus on explaining developmental changes that happen to humans. The Social Cognitive Theory represents one of the many theories of psychology that explain human behavior. The theory was introduced by Miller and Dollard in 1941 and later advanced by Bandura and Walters in 1963. The main concepts of the theory are personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Other concepts including self-control and efficacy, observational learning, and many others help in understanding the interaction between the environment, person, and behavior. On the other hand, the theory operates on five assumptions that relate the theory to learning, language self-control, and ...

Dear Finders and Losers,

In a second you will have a better idea what I am referring to. No, I am not trying to offend or mock you. I will talk about one of the oldest idioms that we still use in the era of Netflix, Snapchat and Facebook Live. The English language uses a lot of idioms that came from the ancient times, to be more precise Shakespeare times. Therefore, some of them are already outdated and do not connect to the modern reality. One of such phrases is “finders keepers, losers weepers” that has originated in the fifteenth century. A lot ...

Contrasting Two Cultures with a Model of Culture

The model of culture to be used in this part of the paper is Professor Geert Hofstede’s Model of National Cultures.

The original dimensions are Individualism-Collectivism, Uncertainty Avoidance, Power Distance ( ...

Introduction

The book The Lucifer Effect by Philip Zimbardo argues that beneath any man lies some degree of evil, so detrimental if exposed under duress. The Lucifer Effect explains how good men can transform when exposed to stressful environments to commit heinous activities beyond imaginable moral magnitudes. In this regard, the author empirically explains the findings of the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) the processes involved in transforming good men into committing evil and heinous activities under duress and powerful situational forces. A comparison between the SPE findings and those of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq have strong correlations in ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Long Response

While sexuality remains a talking point in the modern society, many people are still being discriminated based on their sexual identities. It is essential to note that several people have become victims of racial discrimination as well as heterosexism in the modern society. While many people have fought to change the perception of the offenders, the battle against lesbianism is still alive in the society as many individuals do not consider it a cultural norm. Culturally acceptable codes of behavior have dictated that a particular behavior has to be observed by the members of the society to help nurture ...

The psychoanalytic theory of personality was developed by Sigmund Freud in the late 19th century, and has developed since then into a mode of investigation that uses the interactions between the conscious and unconscious mind as a framework to determine the source of psychological attributes and problems (Lazarus et al., 2014). In essence, this theory of personality dictates that human behavior is often irrational and governed by subconscious forces that cannot be strictly controlled. By investigating these impulses and the motivations behind them, it is possible to better understand ourselves and address our potential issues. The way psychoanalysis is ...

1. Summarize Journal Articles The article “Florence Nightingale: Her Personality Type” by Dossey (2010) examines the famous nurse Florence Nightingale according to her personality type.

The author worked from a collection of Nightingale’s own written work and her letters, as well as her history. Dossey breaks Nightingale’s personality down into these four factors, using her life and work as a template to explain those personality traits. For instance, Nightingale is determined to be introverted due to her desire to be alone in ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Introduction

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is among the most common mental disorders developing at rather early stages of the individual’s life and entailing a wide range of implications for physical and mental health, social interaction, behavior and further life.

According to David Logan tribal leadership video, it focuses on five kinds of tribes that people naturally form which in turn influences their behaviors. In every community, the day to day language that is used by people at their work place and their relationship with other members of the tribe is an indication at which stage is the tribe functioning (Logan & Fischer, 2008). They explicitly dismiss all beliefs, attitudes or other factor which cannot be observed directly. By focusing on language and behavior there are more in the behaviouristics tradition, than grounding their tribes in cognitive framework.

Success and achievement of the dreams and goals do not tend to come by accident, but rather as a result of great efforts and strong determination. The starting point to self-realization and personal fulfillment is by no means self-awareness, understanding of personal values, strength, and weaknesses, as well as identifying one's passions and interests in a certain professional field, on the basis of which certain goals are defined and set. Thereby considering one's life as a project and reflecting on some core issues in self-management is by far essential activity for anyone who strives to advance in one's life ...

Preamble

Autism Speaks (2012) argues that autism spectrum disorders are not the causes of the challenging behaviors that are witnessed in children diagnosed with the disorders. Instead, the biological processes that cause the disorders also cause the challenging behaviors. Whether there are divergent perspectives can be determined by reviewing literature on the subject. The following is an annotated bibliography with the sources that offer insight on why individuals with autism spectrum disorder engage in challenging behavior. Connie, A. (2011).

Introduction

Japan is reported to have the world’s third largest economy, which gives it an essential role in the global community. This calls for the need to understand the Japanese people’s self-concept and how they hold themselves up as individuals and as members of the society. It has been widely established that self-concept is far from being a static perception, rather it is a changeable system which is generally a result of an individual’s social relationships. It is observed that people normally hold a different perception of themselves as individuals, and as a social group member. Consequently, ...

Operant Conditioning

It is a form of learning in which the response to a voluntary behavior influences whether or not the behavior will recur; this occurs through the use of reinforcements and punishment. Following the experiments of B. F. Skinner, we can conclude that a person or ...

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. As the numbers continue to rise, however, the incidences reported in nursing appear to decline. In a review of cases of child mistreatment reported by healthcare providers, researchers mentioned that twenty-one percent of all suspected cases were never reported (Eads, 2013). Thus, child ...

It is agreeable that no one is born with philosophical beliefs. But with time, people develop certain beliefs becoming so embedded into them to the point that they stop to be conscious. Automatically, these beliefs develop into habits of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Our identities develop from what we believe in since persons are not born with their identities (Eccles 83). In other words, it is also safe to say that an attempt to change our beliefs threatens our identities. This is the reason as to why changing our beliefs remains very challenging to most of us. For an ...

If we were to ask 100 people randomly to describe a criminal, most like they will describe the most recent experience they had of a crime or criminal.

Despite the different definitions, most of them put emphasis on same aspects. For this discussion, therefore, the definition of culture will be given. Also, the article will provide its five primary characteristics, and the overview of the physical geography, military conflict and its impact ...

In recent years, there has been much discussion among sociologists as to the nature of crime and whether or not it is socially constructed. Generally, crime is an action or behavior that defies criminal law, and the fact that laws vary from place to place and between cultures automatically supports the argument that crime is socially constructed. Some interesting arguments focus on those who have power to make such laws and their motivations for doing so. There is a legal distinction between crime and deviance, in that while deviance goes against social norms, it does not break any actual ...

Employee interviews are popular as part of the selection process because of its more personal nature and its ability to measure characteristics not accessible with other methods (US OPM 3).

The problem of HIV and AIDS has become a global one in the short time since the identification of the virus. Although there is no vaccine to protect against the virus, knowledge and education are two powerful shields against infection—and it has become clear in recent years that impoverished women in the developing world are particularly heavily impacted by HIV transmission and development of AIDS (UNAIDS, 2016). The goal of finding a way to slow or completely halt the spread of HIV and the development of AIDS has been an epidemiological conundrum for many years. Promoting health and ...

ABSTRACT As telemedicine is used throughout the rural parts of Africa, there are many professionals and patients who find the entire process very beneficial because there is an allowance for a decrease in transmission of highly contagious diseases such as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). If there are clinics that are found in locations surrounding rural Africa, there are strong concerns that patients will be able to transmit their diseases to other people who are otherwise healthy. With the use of telemedicine, the patients and the health care providers can see each other through a confined space and there is ...

I have selected the evolutionary psychology perspective to explain human behavior, including my own behavior. Most of our behavior develop when we encounter certain situations that affect survival. These adaptation mechanisms evolve through natural selection. Only people who exhibit the behavioral patterns that enable survival are selected to the subsequent generations, and with them, their psychological mechanism is also selected. According to the evolutionary psychology theory, the brain can be compared to a computer that receives information from the internal and external environment and generates an output behavior that enables survival in the environment. The cognitive programming of the ...

Introduction

The globalization of business, as well as the rise in the movement of the workforce across the geographical borders and nations, have significantly increased the diversity in the workplaces. The contemporary organizations come in all shapes and sizes. Most of them now have employees from diverse cultural backgrounds. With the increased workforce diversity, especially within the multicultural organizations, the concept of organizational justice has increasingly become vital. Notably, many researchers continue having an interest in this concept (Colquitt et al., 2001). The HR is required to ensure that organizational justice prevails so as to prevent conflicts in the workplace. ...

Entrapment occurs when a government agent or someone in authority such as law enforcement and undercover police improperly coerces, influences, manipulates or induces an individual to commit a crime which they would have otherwise committed had the opportunity to do not been availed to them (Colvin, 2002, p. 226). Hence, from this definition, the “buy and bust” or “sell and bust” undercover operations may be considered as entrapment since they entail the inducement of a person to commit an offense, such as dealing in or purchasing of illegal drugs. Furthermore, as Hay (2005) observes, sting or undercover operations by ...

Introduction

The aspect of client-centered care has gained increasing interest as the delivery of care shifts from nurse-focused norms to care that focuses on individual needs and beliefs. The presence of a holistic, compassionate client-centered care has replaced traditional modes of health care delivery to modern types where nurses apply both the science and art of health care delivery to ensure a positive patient outcome. Understanding the meaning and characteristics of a holistic, compassionate client-centered care creates a collaborative health environment.
