Creating change in any organization might seem like an insurmountable task given that human beings are usually resistant to change. But is that really true? A lot of employees, as normal workers, in middle and upper management actually embrace change if only they can be convinced of its validity and the manner in which it affects their best interests in a positive manner. No one likes to change anything that seems to working perfectly, right? That's what the employees of the bottled mineral-water company Perrier have been struggling to cope with for a number of years after the organization ...

Architecture as a discipline has evolved over time, with architects from different periods adopting unique approaches to architecture. In the 1950’s, the architectural world saw the introduction of the theory of the postmodern architecture .

The nature of this differentiation is thought to be determined by several factors, of which the biological, anthropological (cultural) or social are the most pervasive (McCubbin & Dahl 190). In relation with Tannen’s difference in gender roles, as presented in “Sex, Sigh, and Conversation”, the social arguments best explain the root of the gender difference outlined by the author.

According to Mark Linder defining the discipline of architectural theory can only be perceived as a “general” and “wholly trivial matter” (167). The scholar posits that the practice of architecture should be emphasized more than the theoretical discourse.

On the other hand, Mark Wigley argues that both the practice and theoretical discourse of architecture are inextricably linked; and, therefore, both should be given equal priority. Wigley posits that the theoretical discourse of architecture provides an argument ...

ABSTRACT

The juvenile crime rate has made a significant increase in America as children as young as eight years old are committing violent crimes. The juvenile justice system was first created to keep children out of adult prisons and to rehabilitate the children so that they will become productive non-criminal adults.

Thus, new approaches to juvenile justice must be instilled throughout the country in order to prevent more ...

Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt is widely regarded as one of the best presidents in United States history. He is known for his cowboy persona and his widespread representations of traditional masculinity.
