Wooden on Leadership

A famous basketball coach John Wooden developed his Pyramid of success nearly 70 years ago. Nevertheless, it is still relevant nowadays. Moreover, this model can be accepted not only in sports but also for business environment. The main reason why this pyramid became so popular in different spheres of life and has not lost its relevance yet is that it does not focus primary on the results (victories) but on identification and implementation of the maximum capacities. Thus, Wooden likes to say “"success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the ...

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. ...

The doctrine of the Trinity is unique to Christianity. It underpins Christian theology and is the most important doctrine of Christian faith and practice.

According to Exodus 3:14 and Philippians 1:2, the Father is God, in John 8: 58 and Titus 2:13, we are told ...

Christian Worldview

A worldview seeks to understand God and the composition of the world and the way man relates to God and the world.

As is known, Aristotle clearly distinguishes between theoretical and practical knowledge. Aristotle divides music at the same time into two very different ...

Women are in a disadvantaged position since they need to maintain a balance between managing the business and taking care of the family; this is in contrast to their male counterparts who can allocate more time for their career. Within such a scenario, organizational as well as ...

Buddhism, like all the other Eastern religions, originated from “Animism”, which is the belief that everything in the universe has an essence, a spirit or a soul. As a way of life, it is similar to the other religions in promoting morality, generosity, kindness, harmony, and respect for all living beings including mother nature.

Karma, which is either the positive or the negative effects of an individual’s actions. 3. ...

While language is specific to humans, because this race is the only one capable of speaking due to its physical construction, communication is common to all other animals, regardless of species (Yule, 1996). Communication does not require words, but body language, signs, behaviors, etc., which transmit information, often unintentionally. On the other hand, language consists of sounds and syllables that shape an intentional information sharing process (Yule, 1996). Language is characterized by: displacement (the capacity of speaking about past, present and future), arbitrariness (the form of human language), productivity (the creativity to utter endless utterances), cultural transmission (passing ...

There is a connection between developing ideas and the creation of artworks. Media also plays a role in this process because people today cannot function without the influence of media.

The primary objective for the formation of the European Economic Community (ECC) was to create a common market to enhance the achievement of a trading advantage over other Atlantic states.

It was especially difficult to remove barriers and enforce common trade regulation. For a common market to have some effect, freedom of capital, ...

How does Willard Describe Humanity?

Willard describes humanity as ‘different from other creatures’. He explains this description by saying that human beings, unlike other creatures, have a purpose, aspirations, and a power beyond what we know we possess (Willard, 1991, pg. 47).

Though made a little less than a god, human beings are care for by God, which is an indication of the intrinsic importance and uniqueness of humanity. People even have power over animals, ...

Essay

Immanuel Kant: Reason and Freedom Immanuel Kant argues that being purely objective or purely rational and being independently free are two peas in a pod. As Kant argued in his widely known book Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, all human beings possess what he refers to as 'the idea of freedom' (Pasternack, 2002, 12). He builds his concept of categorical imperatives-- in the absence of which responsibility and morality would cease to exist-- upon the speculated idea that freedom is an omnipresent concept. Kant claims that it is clearly not possible for people to envision themselves as 'un-free' ( ...

ABSTRACT

The Sedition Act of 1798 was signed into law by the Federalist Party when there was fear of war in France and to prevent their rival political party, the Democratic-Republicans, from speaking out against and criticizing the Federalist party, which could result in legal ramifications, including fines and jail time. The Sedition Act was and remains an example of unconstitutional legislature that undermined the spirit of the Constitution and the First Amendment guaranteeing Americans the freedom of speech, expression and press.

Hmong in America present challenges in the handling of cross-cultural medicine. At the Merced Community Medical Center (MCMC) the Hmong immigrants feel that their cultural practices and beliefs, such as women exposing themselves to doctors during medical examinations, are not right but they feel obliged by the local systems. There is a legal implication on the rights of patients in dealing with doctors since the doctors seem to disregard the rights their patients have to select treatment. For instance the issue of the lady who had blisters in her mouth and instead ...

People expect Christians to live morally acceptable lives and rightly so. Christianity teaches virtue like honesty, sexual purity, and kindness. Statements such as "What would Jesus do?" are used a lot especially in television shows for comic effect. At times these statements feel provocative role in his or her Christhood. However, looking deeply into such remarks makes a Christians take a little offense to what is said to them. For instance, Jesus would never be adulterous. Jesus would also never steal nor covet another man's property. Doing what Jesus would do is not so offensive. Therefore, Christian worldview recommends ...

Introduction

For a long time different scholars have tried to exploit the true dimension of religion. The fact is religion cannot be compared to an objective thing, like a clock or a chair. Geertz (1966) observed religion as “a system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence” (Geertz, p90 1966). With reference to chapter four of Religion as a Cultural System by Geertz’s (1966), the paper will exploit the role of symbols including the scientology cross in the Church of Scientology.

Leadership has numerous definitions and dimensions, but I largely view it as the ability of someone to influence other people to willfully and passionately to follow a certain course and achieve some specific objectives. There are several lessons in leadership that can influence me to become a better leader in my professional life. I learned that leaders are not born, but we do make them. To become a good leader, people need to improve themselves and become the best by increasing their ability to be the “best self” (George and Sims, 2010). In this regard, I looked at myself ...

Abstract:

Having not always been a Christian, it was a struggle to come to the light and find solace and comfort in Jesus Christ’s life and teachings. There was no guarantee that I would arrive at the peace and happiness that I found once I received Christ into my mind, heart, and spirit. Having been raised in a family that was spiritual, but not religious, I had no guidance to point me in the direction of the faith that would ultimately change my life for the better. It was not until I underwent crucial transformation and metamorphosis of mind ...

Religion has been a topic of debate for centuries. Religion is, in fact, one of the main arenas for wars, and it has been since the beginning of times. When one speaks about religion, it is not only about the spiritual sphere of the person that indeed is important and a holistic approach to education; this sphere has to be promoted for it to develop. The spiritual sphere of the person relates, but it is not equivalent to religion. The reason why I am making this distinction is that, from a Christian perspective, the spiritual sphere of the person ...

Faith, being an intangible concept, is almost indefinable. But there are theologians, like Soren Kierkegaard and Paul Tillich, who dared to define faith and its role in everyday life. There are similarities and differences between the interpretation of Kierkegaard and Tillich of faith, and some critics are not contented with or opposed to their ideas, particularly as regards the subject-object division. This paper argues that a thorough, critical analysis of the ideas of Kierkegaard and Tillich regarding faith will demonstrate both theologians remaining devoted to the conflict between the finite world and the infinite, unbounded realm. Kierkegaard often emphasizes ...
