Abstract

Stress is one of the most prevalent psychological conditions in the contemporary world, yet also one of the most misunderstood. Millions of people suffer from some form of stress in their lives, but few understand that not only is it an abnormality but it can also be successfully managed to lead quality lives. The most common catalyst for stress is work, where people are subjected to high-pressure situations that, if poorly handled can trigger the onset of short-term or long-term susceptibility to stress. For emergency response personnel, stress is a part of routine operations, and research has shown that ...

Big companies hire special managers to find proper workers. And if you have a rather small enterprise, you have to find them yourself. It’s not that easy – an ...

My school mates used to call me “Slow Light”, as they mocked me for not being fast enough in sprinting. Every time our Sports Teacher would get us out in the school yard for sprinting I was very nervous, because I knew that I would get the worst score. Nobody likes being the last, and for me it was especially difficult since the boys in my class had very good scores, while I was far behind most of them, which inspired them to make fun of my running abilities. Each time it was my turn to sprint, I used ...

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

As regards stakeholders, they include the intern, his/her direct supervisor, current and perspective clients (especially those, whose cases are unique and complex). It also should be emphasized that the sociocultural context of the events also plays a crucial role, as it is new for the intern, who is not duly acquainted with ...

Black (2016) defines philosophy as the study of principles that underlie the conduct, thoughts, and universal nature. Philosophy entails how people find meaning in different aspects of life in the universe. Philosophers develop the philosophies out of curiosity with the intention of explaining or understanding underlying realities about various aspects of life. Philosophies can also be developed by individuals unintentionally as they mature and set definitions and guides for their conducts. Such philosophies are referred to as personal philosophies. A personal philosophy is a blueprint and guide to a person’s values and belief system (Black, 2016). Personal philosophies ...

Sometimes it is always sensible that something is not right in the workplace. During my internship, I noticed that the CFO was skipping out of the office early, and at the same time, he was leaving the computer on so it appeared as he was down the hall. The main issue is that there was no oversight of the CFO’s working hours. Moreover, other colleagues had witnessed this CFO arriving late and leaving early as well as skipping out during the day for special appointments, yet he is managing to have tons of paid time off hours (PTO). ...

Abstract

Introduction Nursing practice recognizes altruism through various interventions such as understanding different beliefs and cultures, advocating for vulnerable patients, taking risks on behalf of other workers and patients and mentoring other professionals. In altruism, interpersonal factors such as respect and compassion are considered virtues that cultivate a caring attitude towards others. As such, some people feel that altruism usually places heavy demands on the nurses’ self-sacrifice, thus overlooking the challenges that these nurses face while in practice especially with acute-care settings and psychiatric situations. In this regard, it means that master’s prepared nurses have a role to play ...

When the staff in an organization have objectives, they tend to be encouraged to work hard. When they get feedback regarding their progress, they become more motivated.

Response Paper: Self in the Workplace

Success at any workplace is not an abstract occurrence but rather takes a combination of abilities, skills, and knowledge necessary to guarantee such success. As an employee, I have greatly excelled at my workplace due to my strong work ethics, strict time management and embracement of a team spirit. I understand pretty well that organizational goals are set targets that require a collective approach from all employees. As a result, therefore, we are strongly working as a team and not as an individual; I prefer pooling my contribution alongside those from other colleagues for the sake of organizational goals. ...

James Riddle “Jimmy” Hoffa was American labor leader who suddenly disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 1975. Jimmy Hoffa was the personification of all that is associated with the words "union boss". His rise and fall is the classic story of a “self-made” man, a man who made himself, made his way from the bottom of society through perseverance, energy and talent, but then mired in the abyss of corruption and politicking (Biography.com, 2017). The 1920s in the USA was a time of class struggle and the rapid growth of the trade union movement. Jimmy Hoffa`s colleagues at the ...

When it comes to the term coercion, there are usually negative connotations mentioned and covered. Indeed, to coerce someone is to be perhaps punitive and harsh when it comes to leveraging someone to comply with a preference or directive. However, there are some areas of concern and discussion where the usual shades of black and white when it comes to coercion instead fade to shades of gray. For example, if a person charged with a crime is clearly guilty but is not pleading to that effect, they can be offered a plea deal or told that the death penalty ...

Introduction

One could hardly imagine a resident of the developed country who has never delved into such aspect of popular culture as sport – either by buying a soccer ticket, buying exactly the same sneakers model David Beckham was wearing in that Adidas commercial, following the Olympics on TV or hunting some rare baseball cards. In the modern world, sport activities have become extremely different from the leisure games they used to be as they were invented. In the recent decades, significant societal, economic, political and cultural transformations turned sport not just into a socially meaningful phenomenon but rather in an ...

(Doctoral students must include the following on the title page instead: 1. Compliments today are somewhat of a taboo. In the younger generation, especially among college students, many suffer from low self-esteem, which could easily be solved by providing positive comments. The problem many people face when deciding whether or not to give compliments is the fear of being misunderstood. When talking about someone’s appearance, they might take it the wrong way. In other cases, when a man comments a woman, they might believe that to be a sexually motivated compliment. This is the reason why I am ...

The National Military Strategy (NMS) outlines how the U.S. employs its military forces to advance and protect national interests.

On the other hand, the U.S. Joint Forces Command was a unified combatant command that provided particular services to the military.

The Board of Education violated her right to privacy

The Board of Education disregarded Pettit's entitlement to privacy.
