Heroes are central characters. They are time and again protagonists, ‘good guys’ and the chief characters of comic books. They play the role of orienting the audience in the line of the author’s story-telling. Villains are winning over characters who are often antagonists. They have evil motivations and wrong action to rhyme. The difference between the superheroes and the villains is that the heroes feel a sense of responsibility to other people who are not as powerful as them, but for the villains, they use the power to benefit themselves without having compassion on other people (The Write ...

Personal Leadership Philosophy

Leadership evolves. Philosophies developed a priori and applied to a given organizational context are apt to fail. By definition, a leadership philosophy, let alone a personal one, emerges in response to variables making up a specific organizational behavior. Accordingly, in order to develop a personal leadership philosophy one should, above anything else, cater for organizational needs both at corporate and individual levels. Personally, I aspire for a leadership philosophy based on strict definition of raison d'être. By identifying core purpose for which an organization exists, I would be able to develop a sustainable leadership philosophy. Indeed, companies, successful ...

One day, while reading the morning newspaper that came to me every day as I sat in my room, I saw an advertisement for a job as a scrivener at a high-powered law firm on Wall Street. I was curious about this, despite the fact that I did not feel particularly up to talking to anyone. For the most part, I tend to find myself feeling very withdrawn, almost catatonic, unwilling to engage with the outside world or expend energy in order to actually get things done. Even so, I felt a desire to try to break those habits, as some unexplainable pull ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Midlife, or the age between 35 and 55, can be a complicated time for a woman. As a female enters these years, sometimes it can be difficult to navigate the waters because the things that once made her happy are no longer available, or as satisfying. This can be confusing. Other things that she never enjoyed before may be cast in a new light, and be even more enjoyable than the female ever thought possible. There may be complicated feelings about life satisfaction, which can lead to new discoveries or depression. The female may attempt sexual exploration as her body continues to mature, ...

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Introduction

Erik Erikson’s’ views make significant contributions to the field of psychology; this is particularly in the understanding of personality development and related factors. An understanding of his own study of personal development creates an understanding of development of his psychology (Fleming, 2004). Most of Erikson’s psychology work became evident in the post-Freudian era. It was between the 1930s and 1950s; being one of Freud’s students, most of his work exhibit the influence of Freudian views and theories; this was mainly in the field of personality development. However, dissimilar from Freud’ ...

Final Topic Paper – “I am Bartleby”

In light of the professor’s and group comments, I have made several changes to the paper. First, I removed all explicit mentions of schizophrenia in the work, as that would be ahistorical, and made arguments about Bartleby’s mental condition more even-handed. Most substantially, I have included more work throughout the text of the paper exploring Bartleby’s motivations for his actions throughout the story, focusing somewhat more on his frustration with the futility of capitalist society and its emphasis on hierarchical work structures. I have also completely changed the final paragraph to make it more of a comprehensive ...

If religion were never introduced to people, what kind of society could they have? If religion had been absent since time immemorial and if people were exactly the same as animals in the jungle, what lifestyle could they live for? And yet, if people and the rest of the animals on earth had been “nothing but matter” (Dawkins, 3), what sense of life could have been left to them? To consider these conditional statements or these what-if situations, Richard Dawkins might think that humanity itself could be senseless because people lived without a sense of purpose. And if religion were ...

Academic and Non-Academic Writing

Writing skills organize ad transfer information at various levels of communication. They are used in various documents depending on the type of writing and the author’s intentions (Pak-Tao, 2004). There are two principle types; academic and non-academic which are in several formats. Academic writings are formal and often used by authors who intend to pass facts to the readers. Non-academic writing, on the other hand, shows the author’s own personal opinions and experiences (Bayley, 2006). They may be used to pass information but, this is not their main function. In comparing these two writing skills, I ...

A Sense of Well-being: An Influence to My Personal Ethics

This essay summarizes my personal sense of well-being that dictates my behavior when faced by ethical dilemmas. This growing sense of well-being in me was firmed up by my reflection of Metzger’s (2011) article entitled The Keys to Integrity and a Sense of Well-being for Accounting Professionals. My insights from the article can be condensed in three key senses, namely, sense of wholeness, sense of purpose, and sense of prudence.

Sense of Wholeness

A person’s integrity is rooted in his sense of wholeness which Metzger (2011) describes as the binding thread ...
