Culture: Multicultural Issues in Corrections

Question One Correctional officers must strive to build rapport with inmates from all backgrounds while remaining neutral to all backgrounds. I would create rapport with inmates from diverse cultures by providing innovative and bold leadership through cross-cultural knowledge and advocacy, respect, and empathy for various cultural perspectives. Furthermore, I would incorporate conceptions of cultural diversity to improve the spirit and harmony at the correctional facilities. I would try to learn some of their cultural practices and values so as to know how to deal with them based on their cultural inclinations (“National Commission on Correctional,” n.d).

Considering people are of different personalities and temperaments, an approach that was successful in a counseling session with someone possibly with the same problem may not work out with a current client with regards to professional counselors.

The decision to transition from a medical field to corporate America resources is not an easy one considering that the health sector has been hesitant in implementing the principles of corporate America.

Introduction

One of the most widely-appreciated and distinct films of last year, 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, demonstrates many attributes of genderlect theory and its principles in its communication between its male and female characters. Taking an explicitly feminist subtext in its exploration of a group of women (Imperator Furiosa and the Five Wives) overthrowing their masculine oppressors with the help of a pair of supportive male allies (“Mad” Max Rockatansky and the War Boy Nux), the film and its character interactions are explicitly about the need for men and women to communicate more effectively, and the clear benefits ...

The fact that child testimony and evidence carries significant weight in terms of evidence also opens it up to instances which are sensitive to the child that may result in collection of the wrong evidence provided as a result of various causes such as pleasing the interviewer, forgetfulness, or failure to ...

Abstract

The worldview of a person is their view and understanding of their entire existence, including the world they live in. Religious beliefs reflectcolor a person’s worldview very strongly. In a comparative look, Christianity and Sikhism have some commonality as monotheistic approaches to the world, in the necessity for moral and ethical behavior that is good, in seeking truth, and in serving an all-knowing God Wwho imparts some of that knowledge to mankind. However, there are noticeable differences in beliefs about death and afterlife, human definition, and the meaning of human history. These beliefs structure their worldviews ...

The Purpose of the Study

The study was an isometric fieldwork study. The aim of the study was to test impulsivity. Impulsivity is a construct in an individual that entails the tendency of a person to follow whims (Baumeister & Vohs, 2013). An impulsive person displays behavior that shows little regard for the consequences of the actions. The behavior of an impulsive person also shows little evidence of reflection and forethought (Baumeister & Vohs, 2013). The focus on impulsivity as a concept is based on the long-term effects of impulsive behavior. The fact that impulsive actions are not conceived with the benefit of objectivity means that ...

During the crisis, 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes, a Vietnam veteran, boarded a school bus and demanded that two children, preferably boys aged 6-10 years old, went with him (Phillips, n.d.).

Both organizations offer CRP trainings, in addition to helping victims. The approaches the two employ differ. This report seeks to analyze such differences ...

Advanced organization behaviour

Organizational behavior involves the study of human behavior in institutional settings. It forms an interface between the behavior of people within the organization and the organization itself (Locke, 2009). There are three levels of organization behavior. The first type is the micro level. This level involves individuals. Furthermore, it focuses on how the individuals interact with each other at the personal level. Various people portray varied kinds of body language toward one another. This trait can be visible from the way people talk to one another or make facial expressions. The second type of behavior occurs at the meso-level. ...

Alternatively, Mr. Albondingas might be suffering from acute depression leading to the meltdown. Mental disturbance from the environmental effects of prison trauma and stress could induce delirious hallucinations.

One of the most powerful ideas I read about was that the leader must believe in the process of group counseling (Olsen, ...
