Leadership, Policing and Ethics: Why the study of Leadership is difficult

However, it has been noted that a broad based knowledge in leadership provides the basis of leadership development. More so, the education and correct training as well as the practice of leadership skills are essential for

In everyday knowledge and communication, the average person’s perception of the world surprisingly deals with the organization of symbols, both in objections and words. According to the author of “Language and Knowledge in Everyday Life”, a person’s understanding of the world is based on small, implicit classifications of words’ attributes, such as familiarity and gender in French and German (41). This is interesting because the classification of a word being feminine changes the impression of that word to one that is possibly less intimidating than a masculine word. Additionally, by using

This also helps the employers know if the employees are working according to expectation or they are just joy-riders in the organization. For most employees, the performance review processes are not processes to look forward at any given moment. For most, they are the most dreadful moments one can experience in a work place as they do not know what to expect or what question will be thrown at them by their bosses. But the

Classical Realism, or Traditional Realism (Waltz, 2003: 21), and Neorealism, or Structural Realism (Jakobsen, 2013), are “two of the major approaches” in the study of international politics (Waltz, 2003: 21). Robert Keohane (1986: 159) considers Classical Realism as the “central tradition” in the study of international politics, while Jo Jakobsen (2013) considered Neorealism as the “bedrock theory of International Relations.”
Despite the efforts of their respective proponents to distinguish one theory from the other, commonalities between Classical Realism and Neorealism do occur. First, both would agree that changes in policymaking among states “happen” more than making it happen (Rynning,

Introduction

Qualitative research, as defined by Thomas from the book of Sampa (2012), “involves gathering and interpreting information from the viewpoint of kinds of objects, ideas, or events” (as cited in Sampa, 2012, p.5). Qualitative research has five approaches, which are narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study. Each design should be anchored to a theory in order for the progress of a research to be guided. According to Creswell (2009), in qualitative research, a theory acts as a lens for understanding the study, although it may also be formulated during or after the study.

Implication of Theory in the Five Approaches

Phenomenology

There are many aspects to the field of psychology, and this has led to separate perspectives of psychology that have developed as approaches to understanding the mind and behavior. The major perspectives of psychology are Psychodynamic, Behaviorist, Cognitive, and Evolutionary; and they are based on very different underlying assumptions (Kowalski & Westen, 2011). The brain is also an integral factor in psychology as well as the biological processes occurring throughout the nervous system, and behavioral neuroscience is a field which studies these processes in relation to behavior (Kowalski & Westen, 2011). This paper will examine the main assumptions of the perspectives

Justice and Civic Engagement

Understanding what justice is and how it is applied in matters where social engagements are involved could be seen to have a distinct impact on how a society improves and grows accordingly. It could be noticed through time that when it comes to such sense of social engagement, the desire to become more intensive in the way one relates to the other and how a person becomes attached to a particular social thought as he mingles with others is what is being observed and analyzed by several social analysts noted through their contributions in understanding the real worth of

In this paper, I will discuss the present-at-hand and the ready-at-hand in Heidegger’s philosophy. Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is a German philosopher who is often thought of in terms of the Existentialist movement in Continental philosophical tradition, but who did not prefer to be classified as an existentialist (McBride 131). Heidegger concerns himself with the deep metaphysical question of being in his book Being and Time — a job he never completed in his lifetime (Blattner 9). Heidegger has an ambitious project in his book — that is fundamentally to investigate being, a project he feels has been forgotten by philosophers (

Physicalism is a belief that everything in the world has a physical property. It posits that nothing can be other than the physical and everything that exists, such as ideas supervenes the physical. Nagel believes that it wrong to assume that physicalism is false. But though he does not believe that it should be false, he believes that we do not have a way to assume that it is true. Condition he points out, is a condition of understanding. It is true that everything—include things that we consider to be non-physical have a physical basis in the body.

Based on reading of this text, Hegel understanding of the interconnection between time and spirit can be viewed as an attempt to destruction of the history of ontology. The understanding of time of Hegel can be said to be the most radical way and the most offensive way of understanding of time (Pinkard, Terry, 49). In his argument, he believes that the spirit falls into historical time and at the same time be speculative thought.
Hegelian Conceptuality clearly outlays itself as separation and understanding of the difference between the “I” and non-I. The conceptuality brings itself in the form

The humanistic perspective has greatly impacted on the society’s psychological arena like the psychodynamic and behavioral theories. It has triggered new discussions on humanism, human beings’ behavioral free will and the need to comprehend the conscious and subjective experiences that people have (Chatrand & Bargh, 1999). The humanistic theoretical perspective is a perspective that heads conscious experiences, personal responsibility, and explanations of various experiences. The theory is explained to be directed towards issues that are meaningful to people, emphasizing more on the subjective and unique, unpredictable events that occur in our day-to-day lives.
An example of a humanistic perspective

In this report I will summarize and critize an article written by Edward L. Thorndike titled Semantic Change, which appeared in The American Journal of Psychology in 1947. I will then evaluate the influence of semantic changes.

Thorndike’s primary focus is on the understanding of word semantics as well as changes that have occurred in the English language through the great
