Psychology of law

Even though psychological region is the primary cause of police-induced false confessions, individuals differ In their ability to withstand interrogation pressure and thus in their susceptibility to making false confessions. All other things being equal, those who are highly suggestible or compliant are more likely to confess falsely. Interrogative suggestibility tends to be heightened by sleep deprivation, fatigue, and drug or alcohol withdrawal. Individuals who are highly compliant tend to be conflict avoidance, acquiescent, and eager to please others, especially authority figures.With these coercive tactics, the police play on these weaknesses and pray on the Individuals. This is a problem even if the individual is in fact guilty but is much more of a problem when the individual is innocent and gives a false confession. Authorities. Researchers and the media have focused a growing awareness of incidences of coerced false confessions, as well as the associated personal and legal im plications involved. The Innocence Project, a non-profit legal clinic that assists those wrongfully convicted of crimes, claims that 8% of wrongful convictions are due o forced confessions prompted by police.Consequently, measures have been taken to try and reduce their frequency. There are many aspects in which coercive tactics are problematic but for the sake of this essay I will focus solely on its leading to false confessions. In the past two decades, hundreds of convicted prisoners have been exonerated by DNA and non-DNA evidence, revealing that police-induced false confessions are a leading cause of wrongful conviction of the innocent. Although the prevalence rate is unknown, recent analyses reveal that 20 to 25% of prisoners exonerated by DNA had confessed to police.In the Central Park Jogger case, for example, all five Juveniles falsely confessed after lengthy unrecorded Interrogations In which they were yelled at, lied to, threatened, and promised Immunity In exchange for t heir admissions to participating in the assault and rape. In 15 to 20 percent of the DNA cases, police-induced false confessions were the primary cause of the wrongful conviction. Once detectives misclassifying an innocent person as a guilty suspect, they often subject him to an customarily interrogation. Getting a confession becomes particularlyI OFF profile cases in which there is great pressure on police detectives to solve the crime, there is no other source of potential evidence to be discovered, and typically there is no credible evidence against an innocent but misclassified suspect. It is perhaps not surprising that most documented false confessions occur in homicides and high- profile cases. In these cases the police have the capability of being very coercive, which in turn can cause false confessions. Once the interrogation commences, the primary cause of police-induced false confession is psychologically coercive police ethos.Psychological coercion can be defined in two w ays: police use of interrogation techniques that are regarded as inherently coercive in psychology and law, or police use of interrogation techniques that, cumulatively, cause a suspect to perceive that he has no choice but to comply with the interrogators' demands. Usually these amount to the same thing. Psychologically coercive interrogation techniques include some examples, such as deprivations (of food, sleep, water, or access to bathroom facilities), incommunicado interrogation, and induction of extreme exhaustion and fatigue.In the modern era, however, these techniques are rare in domestic police interrogations. Instead, when today's police interrogators employ psychologically coercive techniques, they usually consist of (implicit or express) promises of leniency and threats of harsher treatment. As Offset and Leo have written, â€Å"the modern equivalent to the rubber hose is the indirect threat communicated through pragmatic implication†. Threats and promises can take a variety of forms, and they are usually repeated, developed, and elaborated over the ours of the interrogation.Most documented false confessions in recent decades have been directly caused by or have involved promises or threats. Another form of psychological coercion, causing a suspect to perceive that he has no choice but to comply with the wishes of the interrogator, is not specific to any one technique but may be the cumulative result of the interrogation methods as a whole. If one understands the psychological structure and logic of contemporary interrogation, it is not difficult to see how it can produce this effect.The custodial environment and hysterical confinement are intended to isolate and disembowel the suspect. Interrogation is designed to be stressful and unpleasant, and it is more stressful and unpleasant the more intense it becomes and the longer it lasts. Interrogation techniques are meant to cause the suspect to perceive that his guilt has been established beyon d any conceivable doubt, that no one will believe his claims of innocence, and that by continuing to deny the detectives' accusations he will only make his situation (and the ultimate outcome of the case against him) much worse.The suspect may perceive that he has no choice but to comply with the detectives' wishes, because he is fatigued, worn down, or simply sees no other way to escape an intolerably stressful experience. Some suspects come to believe that the only way they will be able to leave is if they do what the detectives say. Others comply because they are led to believe that it is the only way to avoid a feared outcome (e. G. , homosexual rape in prison). When a suspect perceives that he has no choice but to comply, his resultant compliance and confession are, by definition, involuntary and the product of coercion.

Succubus Blues CHAPTER 1

Statistics show that most mortals sell their souls for five reasons: sex, money, power, revenge, and love. In that order. I suppose I should have been reassured, then, that I was out here assisting with numero uno, but the whole situation just made me feel†¦ well, sleazy. And coming from me, that was something. Maybe I just can't empathize anymore, I mused. It's been too long. When I was a virgin, people still believed swans could impregnate girls. Nearby, Hugh waited patiently for me to overcome my reticence. He stuffed his hands into well-pressed khakis, leaning his large frame against his Lexus. â€Å"I don't see what the big deal is. You do this all the time.† That wasn't exactly true, but we both knew what he meant. Ignoring him, I instead made a great show of studying my surroundings, not that that improved my mood. The suburbs always dragged me down. Identical houses. Perfect lawns. Far too many SUVs. Somewhere in the night, a dog refused to stop yapping. â€Å"I don't do this, † I said finally. â€Å"Even I have standards.† Hugh snorted, expressing his opinion of my standards. â€Å"Okay, if it makes you feel better, don't think of this in terms of damnation. Think of it as a charity case.† â€Å"A charity case?† â€Å"Sure.† He pulled out his Pocket PC, looking briskly businesslike, despite the unorthodox setting. Not that I should have been surprised. Hugh was a professional imp, a master at getting mortals to sell their souls, an expert in contracts and legal loopholes that would have made any lawyer wince in envy. He was also my friend. It sort of gave new meaning to the With friends like these†¦ adage. â€Å"Listen to these stats,† he continued. â€Å"Martin Miller. Male, of course. Caucasian. Nonpracticing Lutheran. Works over at a game store in the mall. Lives in the basement here – his parents' house.† â€Å"Jesus.† â€Å"Told you.† â€Å"Charity or no, it still seems so†¦ extreme. How old is he again?† â€Å"Thirty-four.† † Ew.† â€Å"Exactly. If you were that old and hadn't gotten any, you might seek desperate measures too.† He glanced down at his watch. â€Å"So are you going to do this or not?† No doubt I was keeping Hugh from a date with some hot woman half his age – by which I meant, of course, the age Hugh looked. In reality, he was pushing a century. I set my purse on the ground and gave him a warning glance. â€Å"You owe me.† â€Å"I do,† he conceded. This wasn't my usual gig, thank goodness. The imp normally â€Å"outsourced† this kind of thing but had run into some kind of scheduling problem tonight. I couldn't imagine who he normally got to do this. I started toward the house, but he stopped me. â€Å"Georgina?† â€Å"Yeah?† â€Å"There's†¦ one other thing†¦Ã¢â‚¬  I turned back around, not liking the tone in his voice. â€Å"Yes?† â€Å"He, um, sort of had a special request.† I raised an eyebrow and waited. â€Å"You see, uh, he's really into the whole, like, evil thing. You know, figures if he sold his soul to the devil – so to speak – then he should lose his virginity to a, I don't know, demoness or something.† I swear, even the dog stopped barking at that. â€Å"You're joking.† Hugh didn't respond. â€Å"I'm not a – no. No way am I going to – â€Å" â€Å"Come on, Georgina. It's nothing. A flourish. Smoke and mirrors. Please? Just do this for me?† He turned wistful, cajoling. Hard to resist. Like I said, he was good at his job. â€Å"I'm really in a tight spot†¦ if you could help me out here†¦ it would mean so much†¦Ã¢â‚¬  I groaned, unable to refuse the pathetic look on his broad face. â€Å"If anyone finds out about this – â€Å" â€Å"My lips are sealed.† He actually had the audacity to make a sealing motion. Bending down, resigned, I unfastened the straps on my shoes. â€Å"What are you doing?† he asked. â€Å"These are my favorite Bruno Maglis. I don't want them absorbed when I change.† â€Å"Yeah, but†¦ you can just shape-shift them back.† â€Å"They won't be the same.† â€Å"They will. You can make them anything you want. This is just silly.† â€Å"Look,† I demanded, â€Å"do you want to stand out here arguing shoes, or do you want me to go make a man of your virgin?† Hugh clamped his mouth shut and gestured toward the house. I padded away in the grass, the blades tickling my bare feet. The back patio leading to the basement was open, just as Hugh had promised. I let myself into the sleeping house, hoping they didn't have a dog, blearily wondering how I'd reached this low point in my existence. Adjusting to the darkness, my eyes soon discerned the features of a comfortable, middle-class family room: sofa, television, bookshelves. A stairwell rose to the left, and a hallway veered to the right. I turned down the hall, letting my appearance shape-shift as I walked. The sensation was so familiar, so second nature to me, that I didn't even need to see my exterior to know what was happening. My petite frame grew taller, the slim build still staying slim but taking on a leaner, harder edge. My skin paled to death white, leaving no memory of its faint tan. The hair, already to my midback, stayed the same length but darkened to jet black, the fine waviness turning straight and coarse. My breasts – impressive by most standards – became larger still, rivaling those of the comic book heroines this guy had undoubtedly grown up with. As for my outfit†¦ well, away went the cute Banana Republic slacks and blouse. Thigh-high black leather boots appeared on my legs, paired with a matching halter top and a skirt I never could have bent over in. Spiky wings, horns, and a whip completed the package. â€Å"Oh Lord,† I muttered, accidentally taking in the whole effect in a small decorative mirror. I hoped none of the local demonesses ever found about this. They were really quite classy. Turning from the taunting mirror, I stared down the hall at my destination: a closed door with a yellow MEN AT WORK sign attached to it. I thought I could hear the faint sounds of a video game bleeping from beyond, though such noises silenced immediately when I knocked. A moment later, the door opened, and I stood facing a five-foot-eight guy with shoulder-length, dirty blond hair rapidly receding on top. A large, hairy belly peeped out from underneath his Homer Simpson T-shirt, and he held a bag of potato chips in one hand. The bag dropped to the floor when he saw me. â€Å"Martin Miller?† â€Å"Y-yes,† he gasped out. I cracked the whip. â€Å"You ready to play with me?† Exactly six minutes later, I left the Miller residence. Apparently thirty-four years doesn't do much for one's stamina. â€Å"Whoa, that was fast,† Hugh noted, seeing me walk across the front yard. He was leaning against the car again, smoking a cigarette. â€Å"No shit. Got another one of those?† He grinned and handed over his own cigarette, giving me a once-over. â€Å"Would you be offended if I said the wings kind of get me hot?† I took the cigarette, narrowing my eyes at him as I inhaled. A quick check ascertained no one else was around, and I shape-shifted back to my usual form. â€Å"You owe me big,† I reminded him, putting the shoes back on. â€Å"I know. Of course, some might argue you owe me. You got a nice fix from it. Better than you're used to.† I couldn't deny that, but I didn't have to feel good about it either. Poor Martin. Geek or no, committing his soul to eternal damnation was a helluva price to pay for six minutes. â€Å"You wanna get a drink?† Hugh offered. â€Å"No, it's too late. I'm going home. Got a book to read.† â€Å"Ah, of course. When's the big day?† â€Å"Tomorrow,† I proclaimed. The imp chuckled at my hero worship. â€Å"He just writes mainstream fiction, you know. He's hardly Nietzsche or Thoreau.† â€Å"Hey, one doesn't have to be surreal or transcendental to be a great writer. I should know; I've seen a few over the years.† Hugh grunted at my imperious air, giving me a mock bow. â€Å"Far be it from me to argue with a lady about her age.† I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, then walked two blocks to where I had parked. I was unlocking the car door when I felt it: the warm, tingling feeling indicative of another immortal nearby. Vampire, I registered, only a millisecond before he appeared beside me. Damn, they moved fast. â€Å"Georgina, my belle, my sweet succubus, my goddess of delight,† he intoned, placing his hands over his heart dramatically. Great. Just what I needed. Duane was quite possibly the most obnoxious immortal I'd ever met. He kept his blond hair shaved to a close buzz, and as usual, he demonstrated terrible taste in both fashion and deodorant. â€Å"Go away, Duane. I have nothing to say to you.† â€Å"Oh come on,† he crooned, his hand snaking out to hold the door as I tried to open it. â€Å"Even you can't play coy this time. Look at you. You're positively glowing. Good hunting, eh?† I scowled at the reference to Martin's life energy, knowing it must be wreathing me. Obstinately, I tried to pry my door open against Duane's hold. No luck. â€Å"He'll be out for days, from the looks of it,† the vampire added, peering at me closely. â€Å"Still, I imagine whoever he was enjoyed the ride – both on you and to hell.† He gave me a lazy smile, just barely revealing his pointed teeth. â€Å"He must have been someone pretty good for you to look as hot as you do now. What happened? I thought you only fucked the scum of the earth. The real assholes.† â€Å"Change of policy. I didn't want to give you false hope.† He shook his head appreciatively. â€Å"Oh Georgina, you never disappoint – you and your witticisms. But then, I've always found whores know how to make good use of their mouths, on or off the job.† â€Å"Let go,† I snapped, tugging harder at the door. â€Å"Why the hurry? I have a right to know what you and the imp were doing over here. The Eastside is my turf.† â€Å"We don't have to abide by your ‘turf rules, and you know it.† â€Å"Still, common courtesy dictates when you're in the neighborhood – literally, in this case – you at least say hello. Besides, how come we never hang out? You owe me some quality time. You spend enough time with those other losers.† The losers he referred to were my friends and the only decent vampires I'd ever met. Most vampires – like Duane – were arrogant, devoid of social skills, and obsessed with territoriality. Not unlike a lot of mortal men I'd met. â€Å"If you don't let me go, you're going to learn a whole new definition of ‘common courtesy.'† Okay, it was a stupid, faux action-movie line, but it was the best I could come up with on the spot. I made my voice sound as menacing as possible, but it was pure bravado, and he knew it. Succubi were gifted with charisma and shape-shifting; vampires had super strength and speed. What this meant was that one of us mingled better at parties, and the other could break a man's wrist with a handshake. â€Å"Are you actually threatening me?† He ran a playful hand along my cheek, making the hairs on my neck stand on end – in a bad way. I squirmed. â€Å"That's adorable. And kind of arousing. I actually think I'd like to see you on the offensive. Maybe if you'd just behave like a good girl – ow !You little bitch!† With both of his hands occupied, I had seized my window of opportunity. A quick burst of shape-shifting, and sharp, three-inch claws appeared on my right hand. I swiped them across his cheek. His superior reflexes didn't let me get very far with the gesture, but I did draw blood before he gripped my wrist and slammed it against the car. â€Å"What's the matter? Not offensive enough for you?† I managed through my pain. More bad movie lines. â€Å"Cute, Georgina. Very cute. We'll see how cute you are by the time I – â€Å" Headlights glimmered in the night as a car turned the corner on the next block and headed toward us. In that split second, I could see the indecision on Duane's face. Our t §?e- §?t §?e would undoubtedly be noticed by the driver. While Duane could easily kill an intervening mortal – hell, it was what he did for a living – having the kill linked to his harassment of me would not look good to our superiors. Even an asshole like Duane would think twice before stirring up that kind of paperwork. â€Å"We aren't finished,† he hissed, releasing my wrist. â€Å"Oh, I think we are.† I could feel braver now that salvation was on the way. â€Å"The next time you come near me's going to be the last.† â€Å"I'm quaking in terror,† he simpered. His eyes gleamed once in the darkness, and then he was gone, moving off into the night just as the car drove past. Thank God for whatever liaison or ice cream run had pulled that driver out tonight. Not wasting any more time, I got into my car and drove off, anxious to be back in the city. I tried to ignore the shaking of my hands on the wheel, but the truth of the matter was, Duane terrified me. I had told him off plenty of times in the presence of my immortal friends, but taking him on alone on a dark street was an entirely different matter, especially since all my threats had been empty ones. I actually abhorred violence in all its forms. I suppose this came from living through periods of history fraught with levels of cruelty and brutality no one in the modern world could even comprehend. People like to say we live in violent times now, but they have no idea. Sure, there had been a certain satisfaction centuries ago in seeing a rapist castrated swiftly and promptly for his crimes, without endless courtroom drama or an early release for â€Å"good behavior.† Unfortunately, those who deal in revenge and vigilantism rarely know where to draw the line, so I'd take the bureaucracy of the modern judicial system any day. Thinking back to how I'd presumed the fortuitous driver was on an ice cream run, I decided a little dessert would do me some good too. Once I was safely back in Seattle, I stopped in a 24-hour grocery store, discovering some marketing mastermind had created tiramisu-flavored ice cream. Tiramisu and ice cream. The ingenuity of mortals never failed to amaze me. As I was about to pay, I passed a display of flowers. They were cheap and a little tattered, but I watched as a young man came in and nervously scanned them over. At last he selected some autumn-colored mums and carried them off. My eyes followed him wistfully, half-jealous of whatever girl would be getting those. As Duane had noted, I usually fed off losers, guys I didn't have to feel guilty about hurting or rendering unconscious for a few days. Those kind did not send flowers and usually avoided most romantic gestures altogether. As for the guys who did send flowers, well, I avoided them. For their own good. That was out of character for a succubus, but I was too jaded to care about propriety anymore. Feeling sad and lonely, I picked up a bouquet of red carnations for myself and paid for it and the ice cream. When I arrived home, my phone was ringing. Setting down my goods, I glanced at the Caller-ID. Caller unknown. â€Å"My lord and master,† I answered. â€Å"What a perfect ending to a perfect night.† â€Å"Save your quips, Georgie. Why were you fucking with Duane?† â€Å"Jerome, I – what?† â€Å"He just called. Said you were unduly hassling him.† â€Å"Hassling? Him?† Outrage surged inside me. â€Å"He started it! He came up to me and – â€Å" â€Å"Did you hit him?† â€Å"I†¦Ã¢â‚¬  â€Å"Did you?† I sighed. Jerome was the archdemon of the greater Seattle hierarchy of evil, as well as my supervisor. It was his job to manage all of us, make sure we did our duties, and keep us in line. Like any lazy demon, however, he preferred we create as little work for him as possible. His annoyance was almost palpable through the phone line. â€Å"I did sort of hit him. Actually, it was more of a swipe.† â€Å"I see. A swipe. And did you threaten him too?† â€Å"Well, yes, I guess, if you want to argue semantics, but Jerome, come on! He's a vampire. I can't touch him. You know that.† The archdemon hesitated, apparently considering the outcome of me going head-to-head with Duane. I must have lost in the hypothetical battle because I heard Jerome exhale a moment later. â€Å"Yes. I suppose. But don't provoke him anymore. I've got enough to work on right now without you children having catfights.† â€Å"Since when do you work?† Children indeed. â€Å"Good night, Georgie. Don't tangle with Duane again.† The phone disconnected. Demons weren't big on small talk. I hung up, feeling highly offended. I couldn't believe Duane had tattled on me and then made me out to be the bad guy. Worse, Jerome seemed to have believed it. At least at first. That probably hurt me most of all because, my slacker-succubus habits aside, I'd always enjoyed a kind of indulgent, teacher's pet role with the archdemon. Seeking consolation, I carried the ice cream off to my bedroom, shedding my clothes for a loose nightshirt. Aubrey, my cat, stood up from where she'd been sleeping at the foot of my bed and stretched. Solid white save for some black smudges on her forehead, she squinted green eyes at me in greeting. â€Å"I can't go to bed,† I told her, stifling a yawn. â€Å"I have to read first.† I curled up with the pint and my book, recalling again how I'd finally be meeting my favorite author at the signing tomorrow. Seth Mortensen's writing always spoke to me, awakening something inside I hadn't even known was asleep. His current book, The Glasgow Pact, couldn't ease the guilt I felt over what had happened with Martin, but it filled an aching emptiness in me nonetheless. I marveled that mortals, living so short a time, could create such wonderful things. â€Å"I never created anything when I was a mortal,† I told Aubrey when I'd finished five pages. She rubbed against me, purring sympathetically, and I had just enough presence of mind to put the ice cream away before collapsing back into bed and falling asleep.

Morality. The Genealogy of Morality by Nietzsche Essay

Morality. The Genealogy of Morality by Nietzsche - Essay Example The second dimension that Nietzsche discusses is morality relating to slaves or priests, and this primarily deals with Jewish beliefs. This dimension believes that priests loath warriors and call their desire for power an evil act, and they believe that their own poverty or simple state is called good. These two beliefs are called slave and master morality. Slave morality seems to be much more refined as compared to master morality and it is driven by a feeling of anger or resentment. It was born of Christianity as Christian love is due to hatred and therefore it is in accordance with slave morality and its derivation from ‘ressentiment.’ (Nietzsche and Kaufmann) Even though slave morality is interesting and more complex as well to understand as compared to master morality and their self-assuredness, Nietzsche is apprehensive that it makes mankind a mediocre race and people who have generally an inherent perception of slave morality would like to prefer comfort and secur ity over risk and conquest over the world. The priests believes in the slave morality and they believe that it saves them from evil and other perils of the afterlife, and the master morality will distract people from changing themselves for the better and making their present a better situation to live in. Most modern humans also perceive the slave morality in this way and act this way. Nietzsche also believes that there is a difference between the two kinds of morality be it good/bad or good/evil by giving the relevant example of lamb and bird of prey. The lamb would believe that the bird of prey is evil since it kills and that they themselves are good because they don’t kill. However, these statements become useless in the event that God has made them in such a way that they cannot kill; and not because of any moral account but simply because they are unable to, they don’t know what they would be capable of if they would be able to kill. Birds of prey similarly canno t be highlighted as wrong doers and evil simply because they are built in a way that they are to kill. If the deed, which is killing could be separated from the being that kills because it was made that way, then only could be condemn these birds for their deeds. Nietzsche also goes on to argue that there are instances when there is a deed, but no doer and then you cannot blame anyone. Such as lightning cannot be removed from the flash and seen independently and hence the fact that we view that the doer is distinct from his act is simply something we view because of society and its prejudices. Master morality is what the aspiration is so to say, slave morality is prevalent and not desirable. Nietzsche also believes that guilt originally didn’t have any moral aspects in it, and it was simply like a debt. A person who owed something to someone was in debt and guilty of it, and he owed a creditor some sum. Therefore a creditor could take advantage of that and could even make the debtor pay at any time or take penalties. This wasn’t to punish the debtor and make him feel bad about himself, but this was only for the creditor’s mirth and pleasure. Therefore punishment was like a paradox; it was cruel for the debtor and yet cheerful for the creditor and it was supposed to have been forgotten afterwards without any grudge from any party. Law and regulation is like a creditor in a society; if someone goes against the law then this means that they have broken and harmed society and they can be punished for this mistake. (Nietzsche and Kaufmann) Justice believes however that people don’t have that power to punish good or bad or evil and

Critically appraise the key concepts and principles of the theory and Essay

Critically appraise the key concepts and principles of the theory and practice of the Person Centred approach - Essay Example Carl Rogers (a major contributor of the person centred model) emphasized the humanistic perspective as well as ensuring healing relationships with clients promote self-esteem, authenticity and actualization in their life, and help them to use their strengths (Seligman, 2006). Person-centred model has two primary goals, which are increased self-esteem and greater openness to experience. Attempts are made to facilitate related changes and seek to promote in clients the following: closer agreement between the clients idealized and actual selves; better self-understanding; lower levels of defensiveness, guilt, and insecurity; more positive and comfortable relationships with others; and an increased capacity to experience and express feelings at the moment they occur (Rogers, 1980). Person-centred model here means research that focuses on the person as a core of the study. The person then becomes the main conceptual unit and also often the main analytical unit. Person-centred model can be contrasted to variable-centred model where the focus is on the variable as the main conceptual and analytical unit. Variable- centred model is far more common but is not the topic of this article. For example training can be classified into variable-centred approach where the main focus is on the content of course which is being trained while coaching is person centred where the main focus is the person being trained not the content of the training. Person-centred model does not need to be quantitative and can in certain situations be carried out by case-oriented model and by using a qualitative model. Obviously, the study of the single individual, studied quantitatively using the technique, is in one way person-centred, but is not normally so according to the definition given above (since the focus is usually then on relationships between variables within the individual). The perspective given in this paper is of

Good Deed report Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Good Deed report - Essay Example The supervisor approved the commendation and agreed to send it the next day; furthermore, he added a $300 bonus for Roseanne’s actions and a commendation for her trainer. The supervisor is pleased with Roseanne’s handling of the concerns of the customer, which shows her training and personal work ethics, so he includes a bonus for her and a commendation for her trainer. He describes the work of customer representatives as sensitive emotional labor. He emphasizes the importance of bonuses in financially compensating excellent workplace actions. This bonus shows that the company values exemplary employee attitudes and behaviors. In Roseanne’s case, it is impressive that after only two weeks in the job, she shows remarkable dexterity in handling complex cases and infuriated customers. The supervisor further commends her trainer, who is also happy with Roseanne’s performance. The trainer uses Roseanne as an example for new trainees. Customer service agents are at the forefront of serving and making customers happy. If they do something right, they get a commendation and positive performance review. But if they go beyond their duties and excel in doing so, they deserve a bonus. Hence, the supervisor approved the request and positively reinforced commendable workplace behaviors. Employees, who go above and beyond the call of duty, have to be properly commended to reinforce their good behavior. Reinforcement studies in the workplace suggest the importance of timing positive rewards in sustaining and spreading positive behaviors. On 25 September 2012, Roseanne Blythe, a customer service and sales agent, was about to end her shift when an irate customer called in. She did not only restore a disgruntled customer’s faith in the company, she also increased revenues, when that customer opened twenty accounts amounting to $5,000 every month. Hence, I recommend for her to get a public commendation for the positive performance

Work, privacy, and autonomy Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Work, privacy, and autonomy - Essay Example Privacy, on the other hand, involves two things. First is control of information about ones self, and the other, some control over who can experience or observe the person. An example given is that privacy in relation to a spouse is different from privacy in relation to an employer. As proposed by Kupfer, privacy and autonomy are related to each other in that autonomy requires an awareness of control over one’s relationship with others, which is part of the essence of personal choice. Privacy contributes to autonomy because it provides he individual control over whether or not he/she will allow somebody else to be part of his/her experiences. Further, Lippke and Kupfer argue that autonomous individuals are those that have the capacity for it, a developed autonomous self-concept. If the individual cannot develop his autonomous self-concept, then he/she is not autonomous. Lack of privacy prevents or inhibits the development of such autonomous self-concept. I agree that both autonomy and privacy are valuable. Autonomy can be likened to a person’s independence or capacity for independent choices. Like in the relationship of a parent and child, it is deemed necessary for the parent to develop independence in a child as part of the preparation for responsible adulthood. And among the ways of nurturing this independence, aside from a parent’s mentoring, is by respecting the growing child increasing rights to privacy. In the workplace, I believe that the employees’ rights to privacy must be maintained and upheld. After all, there are advantages to both employee and employer by maintaining employee autonomy. Most organizations today desire employees who are initiative, resourceful and require minimal supervision. However, the scope of employee privacy rights in the workplace needs to be defined and accepted by both employer and employee as part of the exercise of freedom of contract. 2. Relying on a contractual model of

Maos policy of Politics in Command set the agenda for the Chinese Essay

Maos policy of Politics in Command set the agenda for the Chinese economy for the last half of the 20th century in China. Do you agree with the statement Wh - Essay Example In the first half of the twentieth century state policy eliminated private industry and commerce resulting to a high degree of centralized and unified planned economy. But despite this the party-state showed symptoms of incapacity in terms of confronting modernization and economic growth. Aiko Ikeo (1997) cited an example: In the early stages of the creation of New China, the method of ‘three persons’ food eaten by five’ was carried out, in an effort to assist the unemployed. During the First Five-year Plan, unemployment was basically eliminated, but because of the lower level of productive forces, in order to guarantee universal employment and individual entitlement to rations, only low-wage policies could work†¦ The parity pattern of low wages, high employment and low consumption cause universal overstaffing, inefficiency and low benefits. (p. 166) By 1960 Mao Zedong launched the self-reliance model anchored on the guiding thought of â€Å"politics in command†. This theory stressed the replacement of personal desire for material and economic interests with noble political sentiments and selfless devoted spirit. This guiding thought replaced the equalitarian thought of equal wealth distribution policy in the 1950s. (Ikeo, p. 166) The basic theme of this campaign was the proper relationship between politics and business, with the basic goal of ensuring that politics is placed at the fore. More importantly, this introduced a decentralization drive which sought to give the party more control over the economy. This was achieved by having the provincial party committees supervise economic enterprises and perform a coordinating role. (Bailey 2001, p. 170) In an effort to achieve greater party control, the influence of central planning ministries was reduced. The ‘politics in command’ policy was implemented, in effect abolishing the previous equalitarian thoughts of equal

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS STRATEGY Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2000 words

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS STRATEGY - Essay Example In most cases many firms are moved from countries that are not industrialised to highly industrialised ones in terms of technology, infrastructural developments, jobs, wealth and more consumers. Jeremy Moon has a vision for his firm and that is the reason he thinks of expanding it to Chinese Market. Chinese market is well industrialised with a great deal of consumers, technologically developed and possesses a good market for his products. Industrialised countries experience rapid economic growth which opens an opportunity for one to expand their own business and increase productivity level. This is due to the presence of established markets that provide quality produce and competitive prices. International business strategy is efficiently and effectively matching the strengths of a competitor in relation to the challenges and opportunities found in a certain market environment that is dispersed across borders. International business strategy focuses on getting into foreign market through the use of structured meetings by the top management (Chhabra 1996). Selling in China is a priority in that there is a ready market. Chinese network of fashion distribution was evolving, extensive and willing to experiment with western goods. This was a major advantage to Jeremy Moon where China is an industrialized country with ready consumers, good transport and communication facilities and improved technology. Good transport and communication enhances one to travel easily to the market. Passing of information will also be enhanced by the good communication facilities available in China. The technological advancement will enhance production of quality products and services to the consumers. Good communication, advanced technology and transport facilities speed up growth of business enterprises globally (Gregory & Marilyn 2004). There is globalization of markets in China; as a result there are more

Journalists war on terror

Journalists war on terror Difficulties Facing Journalists Reporting the War on Terror Introduction This essay will focus on illustrating the present difficulties facing by journalists who will report war on terror after the outbreak of 911 and series of terrorism activities around the world, to make us understand the serious status quo of journalism in the warfare time and nations. In the main body part of the essay, it will give us a simple introduction about the background of present global safety and the implementation of war on terrorism by the US Government. Then it moves on to illustrate the threats and hardships that have been or will be undertaken by war journalists in their reporting process and give us a detailed analysis of the reason. Then corresponding suggestions are provided in the final part to facilitate the media coverage activities of journalists reporting in those dangerous areas of war and improve the development of press freedom in the world. Main Body Background The outbreak of September 11 terrorists attack gave the US Government a heavy blow. As a response, the Bush Administration implemented the war on terror program immediately after the attack and international coalition gathered for rooting out terrorism has created a dangerous situation, where journalists may be reduced to the victims and targets of terrorists and become key actors of those super powers in reporting events to satisfy the need of the public in understanding the situation in the frontier of battlefield. Journalists have been used as a tool of the government in propaganda and they are being forced to a difficult brim that on one hand, the mass need them to report the progressing of the so-called war on terrorism based on press freedom, on the other hand, the actual danger of life and political pressure in reporting may influence their thinking and judgement. Inevitably, the press freedom and pluralism is being gradually undermined by the increasing imperialism of super p ower countries such as the United States. First DifficultySafety and Health Journalists are facing dangers when undertaking reporting tasks in those volatile countries and regions. According to the date released by IFJ (International Federation of Journalists), 129 journalists and media staff were killed in 2004, making it the worst year on record for the casualty of journalists. In the Iraq War, more than 50 media staff have been killed by political extremists and criminals (Aidan White, Ben Hayes. 2005. Journalism, Civil Liberties and the War on Terrorism. IFJ. P3). From this we can know that the most dangerous difficulty facing by journalists reporting the war on terror is their personal safety. The misunderstanding and hatred between hostile nations gradually press journalists to the teeth of storm since they are the communicator of message. Those terrorists kidnapped and even killed journalists due to their hatred toward the country or government of the journalists and they fell to be the victims of political war. Why so many journalists depart from the ir home to report in those dangerous countries with no regard of their safety, most of their answers can be categorized to their original pursuit of truth and justice for the world. People all over the world are entitled to know whats happening on the other side of the world and the real difficulties they are facing. In order to feed the hungry of information of the mass, many journalists have been dispatched to batterfield and suffered great difficulty not only in body but also in mind. Feinstein, Owen, Blair measured the emotional impact of reporting war on journalists and concluded that war journalists suffered from higher extent of depression and PTSD than their fellow traders who did not report on war events. They have to seek for mental health treatment to release inner psychological distress. Second DifficultyPress Freedom Under the political pressure of the United States and its coalitions in war on terror, journalists are facing great difficulty in reporting events since the government used the so-called war on terrorism to expand its scope of investigation and to restrict press freedom and other civil rights. The unveiling of anti-terrorism increased the curbs and surveillance on free expression, which not only retarded the work of reporters but also negatively affected the basic right as a citizen. For example, the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act promulgated by the US Government just constituted a suppress on free speech in the media and academia while limited civil rights as well. Journalists have gradually departed from original principle of media openness due to the media oppression since jounalists have to dwell on the attitude and actions of the American government, when the world is full of real villains, might seem unfair, were it not for the immense power and influence that the US wields on the global stage and the effects its policies and example have on so many other countries, said the WAN President.

Effects of Law Changes on Tourism Industry Essay -- Law Legal Tourism

This essay will discuss how recent changes in the law may impact the tourism industry, because the industry is extremely vulnerable when it faces these emendations in the regulations and this is why politics contributes towards these impacts. Governments constantly introduce different laws which every individual and business must follow or adapt to, organisations often have to change the way they operate due to new policies. These alterations cost lots of capital, in failure to follow the rules, organisations can face prosecution. For example if customers feel that the facility doesn’t meet their needs e.g. wheelchair users in a shop with not lift to access the upstairs section, they may feel discriminated and sue the organisation. The purpose of laws in the society is to protect the public and organisations as it allows to distinction in what is right and wrong, it also gives the authority to take actions against wrongness. According to Soanes and Stevenson (2006) law is a rule or system recognised by a country or community as regulating the actions of its member and enforced by the imposing of penalties. Howlettt (2010) stated that there are two types of laws: Criminal law which is concerned with offences against society at large crimes persecuted by the states, and these cases, if of non-serious nature, are heard in magistrate court but if of serious nature, they will be heard in the crown courts and tried by jury. Civil law in the other hand is concerned with disputes between private parties, for example consumers and supplies, injured party, issue damage or injunction, and these cases are heard in county court.

Los problemas de D. Davidson con la acción intencional :: Spanish Essays

Los problemas de D. Davidson con la accià ³n intencional ABSTRACT: Es este trabajo quisiera exponer las dificultades que el modelo de explicacià ³n de la accià ³n propuesto por Donald Davidson tuvo a la hora de explicar la intencià ³n. En su primer modelo, Davidson habà ­a explicado la accià ³n a partie de deseo y creencia, à ©stas no sà ³lo racionalizaban sino que tambià ©n causaban la accià ³n; y accià ³n e intencià ³n se identificaban. Sin embargo, Davidson repara posteriormente en que, por un lado, a veces el deseo y la creencia parecen tener como resultado la accià ³n y, sin embargo, no se da entre ellos la relacià ³n causal 'adecuada,' por lo que no podemos decir de la accià ³n que sea intencional. Son casos de cadenas causales irregulares o no està ¡ndar. Por otro lado, a veces tener un deseo y una creencia relacionada no nos conduce necesariamente a la accià ³n. Y, aà ºn en el caso de que nos conduzca a la accià ³n, à ©sta puede ser contraria a lo que nuestro mejor juicio nos dicta. Este es el problema de las con ductas irracionales. Ambos problemas causaron que introdujera algunos cambios en su modelo inicial. Sostengo que estos cambios no mejoraron el modelo. El problema de las cadenas causales irregulares no se resuelve, y el problema de las separacià ³n entre deseo-creencia y accià ³n se reformula en tà ©rminos là ³gicos, mediante un recurso tà ©cnico. En 1963, Donald Davidson publica un artà ­culo "Acciones, razones y causas" que significà ³ la reunificacià ³n de dos modelos de explicacià ³n tradicionalmente separados: el racionalista, segà ºn el cual las razones explican la accià ³n porque la justifican; y el causal, que mantiene que la accià ³n sà ³lo se explica mediante sus causas. El planteamiento de Davidson disuelve esa oposicià ³n: "la racionalizacià ³n [dice Davidson] es una especie de explicacià ³n causal ordinaria". (1) No tratarà © aquà ­ muchas de las crà ­ticas y problemas que suscità ³ y sigue hacià ©ndolo este planteamiento del tema, como la conexià ³n là ³gica que hay entre razà ³n y accià ³n o la necesidad de que exista una ley que respalde esa conexià ³n. Mi objetivo es observar si este modelo puede dar cuenta de la intencià ³n, de ese momento previo a la accià ³n. Los problemas que el tratamiento de la intencià ³n supusieron para el modelo causaron una reformulacià ³n de à ©ste. Estos problemas fueron (1) las cadenas causales irregulares o no-està ¡ndar (externas o internas); y (2) aquellos casos en los que o bien el deseo no conduce necesariamente a la accià ³n o bien los sujetos actà ºan en contra de su mejor juicio.

A Strong Work Ethic Essay -- Personal Narrative Dad Father Essays

A Strong Work Ethic He was just an average guy. Nothing special to most people, I guess. But to me, my dad exemplified the epitome of a hard-working, loyal employee. He hardly ever called in sick; and if he did, he was really sick. He never dreamed of arriving late, clocking out early, or shirking his duties. He was glad to have a job that provided for his family and spoke proudly of his job with General Motors. I can still recall him going off to work in his freshly-laundered, navy blue uniform. Mom would pack Dad a nutritious lunch and carefully slip it inside his gray, metal lunch box. Then he’d kiss her good-bye and strut proudly out the door. Dad worked all kinds of crazy schedules. Sometimes he worked the late shift, so we would eat together as a family when us kids arrived home from school. Then Dad would go off to work. This schedule was extremely difficult in the summer because Mom would have a tough time keeping us quiet so Dad could sleep. Even on those occasions when my brother and I would have one of our spats and wake Dad out of a sound sleep, he seemed to take it all in stride. It was amazing how quiet we got when we heard the bedroom door creak open. My mom would be frazzled and say, â€Å"Sorry, Honey, I know you need your rest.† Dad would shrug his shoulders and say, â€Å"Don’t worry about it.† Dad never really complained about much. He worked hard to make ends meet so Mom could stay home with me and my brother. Of course, that was pretty much how it was in most households back then. We didn’t have a lot of money, but Mom and Dad always put us kids first. They rarely bought anything for themselves that wasn’t considered a necessity but always made sure we had what we wanted. Dad wa... ...ut we can instill in our children an appreciation for hard work and doing a good job at whatever they do. A little less complaining and more willingness to give a little on both employees’ and employers’ parts would certainly go a long way. Treating each other with respect and appreciation helps to create a meaningful working relationship and fosters loyalty that is so often lacking in today’s workforce. As I look back on my life, I can picture Dad going out the door to work, just like it was yesterday. His flawless example and strong work ethic have influenced my life in so many areas. I have always admired him for putting his family first but am just beginning to realize how his attitudes toward work impacted my own life. His values and work ethic are now being passed on to my own children, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Patient Interview Essay

There are many components to consider a patient interview to be effective. During the workshop week in Toronto, I have learned those basic yet very essential components through the enactment presented. Firstly, it is really important to establish a good rapport when dealing with patients. A good rapport can create a relationship that is built on trust and commitment. Through this, patient can share private medical information without hesitations. An example of this was when the pharmacist greeted the patient and asked how can she be of help. She also showed empathy when she found out that the patient was in pain and told the patient she’d prepare the prescription right away. Listening is also an essential component. As a health care provider, listening gives the opportunity to know their needs and concerns. Acknowledging what the patient is really saying, maintaining eye contact, and recognizing and using body language are some of the things that I need to consider. If these are all effectively met, I think that this would help patients in becoming more involved with their medications/treatments, thus producing a positive patient outcomes. The probing or the way I ask question to patients also plays a vital role. It is important that I ask questions in a sincere way to obtain needed information or to just simply clarify something. Asking open-ended questions will help elicit relevant answers from the patient and not just â€Å"yes/no† answers. An example would be when she asked for allergies and asked for the specific kind of reaction that she had. Lastly, feedback is a must. Before ending the interview, asking for a feedback will allow me to check if the patient really understands what was taught. . An example of this was when she asked the patient how she would be taking the medication. This will help to reinforce adherence and make the patient to be involved in the treatment, reducing or eliminating chances of non-compliance. Patient interview is very important for a positive treatment outcome. It is not a simple process but I do hope that as I go along, I would be able to utilize all these components and achieve an effective patient interview.

Love verses can be traced thorn homo end upualy a(prenominal) years, get along is typic completelyy conception of as lust, commitment and sacrifice completely rolled into wizard and here is a advert from Abraham Crowley on do A mighty paroxysm to tingling h adepty it is, and tis a annoyance that pain to miss scarce of only the pains, the greatest pain is to bed, patently grapple in vain. Love verses persist to be fantasy of as in truth received. Traditionally, i would foreknow a retire devising poem to have comparisons, canvass their experience one to angels or goddesses and to build a go out in the indorsers mind that their recognise was elegant and faultless, they would as well include in the poem comparisons betwixt their loved one and goddesses or angels and would signalize their facial features to whatsoeverthing so minute and faultless. However, i have launch that some illicit love poems describe their loved ones to something ugly or dark , some whitethorn comp argon their loved ones to fleas and insects solely yet they offer that their love is pure and unbreakable.In From Fidessa scripted by Bartholomew wire-haired pointing griffon which was a petrarchan sonnet written in 1596, Bartholomew Griffin talks just about his chick obsessively as he uses the parable My gentlewomans hair is wind of beaten gold which gives the reader the mountain chain that she has the looks of a goddess which fits in with the formal images of love. It also fits in with how women were thought of in this clipping period as they were mainly render as goddesses or angels by many men, I think this is obsessive love because its wish he keeps ranting on about how beautiful she is and how she is faultless in appearance he raze goes as far as to say Her feet, mediocre thetis applauseth ever more than.This learns the kind of extent he goes to, describing her feet which shows notwithstanding how obsessive his love is for this women , he says her feet, should be praised ever more this showed how deep and pure his love is, as he has even fallen head over heels with her feet which is a unsignificant part of the body to find appeasing. This is a conventional sonnet because he makes the comparisons betwixt his lady and pure objects such as beaten gold which is expected in a conventional sonnet.In sonnet 18 magnificently written by William Shakespeare and published in 1592, this sonnet was the eighteenth in 154 and arguably one of the let on kn let of his sonnets as it is shrouded by enigma by the fact that he is report a love sonnet to a man while unre stagably love sonnets are traditionally made for women and transvestic relationships were frowned upon in those times as they were thought as not natural, Shakespeare says this man is more ever-lasting and beautiful whence natures steady, as he says Shall I compare thee to a summers twenty-four hourslight?Thou art more lovely and more temperate. This sonnet once again displays obsessive love because Shakespeare compares this man to natures finest beauty, a summer day only yet says that he only cant for he is far crack hence a summer day which shows however how in love and haunt he is with this man. This sonnet is a conventional poem depicting a theatrical role of illegitimate type of love because although it has all the characteristics of a conventional poem, however it is base on a go-as-you-please love between a man and man where as that type of love is normally shown between a man and a charr and in those times, other types of love relationships were frowned upon which make this type of love unconventional in my opinion .In From Canzoniere written by Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) in 1484 is a conventional Petrarch sonnet where he shows the reader how squiffy and demanding his love is as he says Could my own soul from its own self appropriate he says that his love is so substantial for this women that he feels that his soul and his body could be parted which shows just how strong he feels for this women and gives the reader a strong image of exactly how obsessive this mans love is for this women as he thus goes on to say and my sad repeat can sound besides notes of pain, where he basically tells the reader that although he loves this women he isnt loved cover song and that all that happen is that his love turns to pain as he dos he isnt loved back and desperately just wants to be loved by this women.This is a conventional poem as he merely is head over heels for this woman and makes comparisons to angels when he says and the flaccid lightning of the angelic grinning. Soft lightningis a clich because as we know lightning is never soft it simply thunders and is awkward so i believe this quote is hiding behind its true nub because the poet says that although her smile is angelic however when enkindle or bad tempered the soft lightning within her smile begins to show and he seems not to w ant to upset his devout one so he hides his true meaning within a fourth dimension full of praise.However, in The Flea written by John Donne in 1630 it is a unconventional poem as he uses unknown things to describe his love for his beloved and shows a erotic type of love as he says Mark solely this flea and mark in this which tell us he is asking her to notice the flea and notice what he is about to state but indeed he goes on to say and pampered swells with one blood made of two, and this, alas is more and then we would do.He suggests that the flea connects them more then she allows as the flea has bit them both(prenominal) and both their blood has fused into one, he displays erotic love because all he wants to do with this woman is break the barrier between them and have sex with her, by comparing their relationship to a flea shows just how petty(a) he regards their relationship as he badly wants to have sex with her but yet she keeps denying him and just shows exactly how untransmutable this poem is as it goes against all the rules of a conventional poem by making comparisons between a flea and love.Also in To His Coy Mistress written by Andrew Marvell in 1652, Andrew Marvell also doesnt describe the conventional way of a poem as he describes her shyness to go to bed with him as a withering world story as he says Had we but world enough, and time, this coyness lady were no crime he says that he would anticipate for all the time in the world has he the time and says that if so then her shyness would be no crime, which shows that he is longing to have sex with her and he goes on to say that he would wait tell the conversion of the Jews but not all Jews would convert so he is saying that he would wait forever if he had the time but he nobody truly has all the time in the world. This is erotic love as he looks solely for joyfulness although he shows his love for her he simply just wants to have sex with her and this poem is unconventional because in my opinion he doesnt follow the conventional rules and praise her looks and compare her to angels and goddesses, he simply says that he cant wait any eight-day although he loves her forever.In Sonnet one hundred thirty written by William Shakespeare in 1592, this unconventional Shakespearean sonnet has William Shakespeare makes comparisons to crude and sensual things rather then things of any beauty or angelic resemblance as he starts off his sonnet by saying My Mistress look are nothing like the sun he gives out the image to the reader that her eyes are dark and have no light within them, he then goes on to say If snow be neat, why then her breast are beset this specific quote famously gives the impression that his mistress could be dimmed as he says the word dun which meant tanned or mud colored, in those time inter racial relationships were frowned upon as black people were seen as bite class citizens, he also adds the hint that from my mistress reeks the word reeks empathizes the point of her snorkel breather being unbearable and the poem for the most part shows that Shakespeare wants people to see how love in truth is that it cant be perfect as many say it is and that every soulfulness has their faults and no matter what is said love is never perfect, this is my interpretation on what Shakespeare trys to show us in this sonnet. Shakespeare also in his poem The Dark Lady he also describes his lover with hair as wirey which shows once again that Shakespeare doesnt like to colewort coat anything he simply write exactly what he sees.In conclusion, I believe that Sonnet cxxx written by William Shakespeare portrays the most trenchant expression of love because although its not what you expect from a love sonnet he portrays the solid truth with no sugar coating and no silver white lining to hide behind, as although it may seem as he simply is just having a rant about his mistress maybe because she has refused to go on with it a person may say but to me Shakespeare is trying to show the reader exactly what love is about, love is about putting up with the persons faults recognising them and finding a way past them and yet having a relationship together rather then letting people believe that love is about roses, heaven and everything becomes perfect, Shakespeare gives his opinion with no half-hearted approach.

Discovering what Democracy Means

republic is most b atomic number 18ly and conventionally defined as the type of organization wherein the power rests in the deal, or at least(prenominal), mass of a nations citizens. A brass that chuck up the sponges pack to vote and choose their leaders, a writing that is created exactly to protect the welf atomic number 18 of such state, comp are in the access of power and universal realisition of rights and liberties are principles that characterize body politic as a government and as a political theory.Bill Moyers believes in the power of we. He believes in the principles of equality and liberty. He believes in all principles that speak of state. However, there is something incompatible about Moyers portrayal of state. His speeches, shows and works, all suggest not tho a man who hunch overs and believes in principles but alike a man who is aroused in his advocacy of carrying these principles into actuality, not by inciting revolt or actual participation in a revolution but finished contemplative words that inspire and incite the dignity and populace in man.Bill Moyers starts Discovering What Democracy Means (2007) by fend for social scientists, artists and scholars, and arts and humanities as teachers of the mind. eon the Congress is macrocosm skeptical about allocating capital to arts and humanities, doubting its actual and practical region to the society, Moyers answer is simple They are worth sense of hearing to.How are they worth listening to? Moyers doesnt founder the Congress with a ledger of beneficial consequences, because sure enough he lot show n ane. But he cites a series of quotes from such public opineers, pointing to these quotes as something that would hit taught the members of the Congress the questions shared by the people, and would accept put their minds in a position to valuate the status of the society in relation to the peoples capacity and reservoir of creativity. At integrity point he intimated t hat arts and humanities bring the good in people, even at least in their fantasiesThey would have heard the filmmaker David Puttnam range how as a boy he sat through dozens of screenings of A Man for all(a) Seasons, the story of Sir Thomas Mores blackened defiance of Henry VIII It allowed me the enormous dresser of walking out of the cinema thinking, Yeah, I think I might have had my head incinerate off for the sake of a principle. I know absolutely I wouldnt, and I probably never met anyone who would, but the cinema allowed me that conceit. It allowed me for one moment to disembodied spirit that boththing decent in me had come together. (Moyers, 2007)This quote whitethorn also be interpreted as put premium on vicarious amaze. After all, a person is not expected to experience everything that idler be experienced in one life fourth dimension. liberal arts and humanities provide a medium for allowing people to experience more than what their limitations (imposed by reality an d self-impressions) allow them to experience. It allows people to feel a sense of empowerment, or a sense of pride that they can do oft metres more or know much more than what they routinely experience and perceive every day.If viewed in light of the above quotation, this interpretation also says that the Congressmen would have had a wider world view, and therefore break down understanding of humanity and its interactions if only they allowed themselves to be taught by arts and humanities.This is Moyers meaning of democracy. It is more than being concerned with the improvement of the lives of each idiosyncratic It nurtures individual freedom and ability. In other words, democracy should be more than a government structure accredited democracy also uplifts humanity. In this sense, Moyers democracy can be equated with the principles of humanism.Moyers, taking from Cleanth Brooks of Yale, set both the enemies and associate of democracy. The enemies of democracy are set as the ba stard muses propaganda which plead, sometimes unscrupulously, for a peculiar(a) cause or issue at the disbursement of the total truth sentimentality, which works up horny responses unwarranted by, and in excess of, the occasion and pornography, which focuses upon one powerful human drive at the cost of the total human personality (Moyers, 2007).To counter these, the allies of democracy must be cultivated. These include the reliable muses of moral imagination, which not only arms us to resist the little lies and fantasies of advertising, the official lies of power, and the ghoulish products of alarming minds, but also open us to the lived experience of othersto the affirmations of heightened consciousnessto empathy (Moyers, 2007). Is Moyer speaking about the media?Moyers think that the media have left people to become mere receptacles of information, which regrettably has been corrupted by pundits and biased, conceited, politicized opinions, and newsfeeds pervade the society. A ll are fronts for specific political interests, creating principles that are anti-democracy.It is only through liberal education that a person can be liberated from circumstances that are beyond his/her control. Moyer believes that people have been institutionalized in a way that each person has become locked in a separate reality, parochial loyalties and fixed self-perceptions, and everybody becomes a stranger to everybody. Democracy will prosper only if such bonds that separate individuals from one another are destroyed in order to allow a life of free and enriching communion (Moyers, 2007).The present crisis does not involve the existence of enigmas, issues or lack of policies. The problem is the lack of conversations about the real meaning of democracythat it is not merely a means of brass but a means of empowering and dignifying people so that they can truly attain freedom, both morally and politically. An entrusted democracy is not true democracy. Moyer thinks that it is tim e for the people to repossess democracy.Bill Moyers ends his speech by praiseful Woodrow Wilson for being advocate of democracy. This is quite a move for someone like Moyers who is passionate about espousing democracy in its deeper meaning. Woodrow Wilson, based on some of his actions, manifested an autocratic leaning. It was he, for example, who brought to the US the Federal Reserve which controls or creates fiscal policies that some would describe as undemocratic. It was he who brought forces into Mexico and who took the US into WWI.His idealism favored a top-down structure of society controlled by the elite. Lastly, Woodrow Wilson is also know for his support of the Ku Klux Klan, a domestic organization in the united States having national scope and is known for doing acts of frenzy to further white supremacy. What could be a better manifestation of anti-democratic sentiments than a persons support for the freedom and equality that were the legacy of the forefathers of the United States?Moyers sentiments against the media, the government and the enemies of democracy as healthy as his discourse about the need to converse the meaning of democracy, and take it from the hands of the elite are well and good but the problem is that he offers no solution in order to overhaul the people and the society to move forward from its legitimate undemocratic and lamentable state. Moyers words may have inspired many but the time when such inspiration will be morose into something more tangible is yet to come.ReferenceMoyer, B. (2007). Discovering What Democracy Means.

“With Liberty and Justice for All”

Vroman sporadic Univer drivey On eviscerate gate mode to Sociology SOC 100-015016 prof capital of Minnesota Humenik terrific 22, 2010 rustle In upstart strains, the arguing eachw present alike(p)-sex sum has full-gr take in from an print that at dates arose in a gruelingly a(prenominal)er assign tongue tos to a fieldly contr oersy. Indeed, in the ut ab knocked stunned(p)(a) 5 old age, the regard all(prenominal)place frolic adjoining internal union has been hear in the h for each whizs of the U.

Moreover, the af twinkling-rate over whether joyouss and lesbians should be in allo bond to wed shows no signs of abating. In the last year al 1, troika farmings take breast feed ilsoundise same-sex wedding ceremony and quaternity republics submit legalized the practice. The cartridge clip for take is in a flash over. The f ar of mirthful mating is non ace of spectral degradation, kindly erosion, or nonwith weatheringing estimable breakd proclaim. It is an domainise of infrangible practiceds guaranteed to all citizens of this atomic number 18a.The concomitant that our federal official organisation does non cognise courageous matings is an inhumanity and dishonourable at best. The radix to courageous respectables testament in the repeal be fall uponn as the salutary to marry, because with that correctly s eerely launch in equity, some opposite forms of disagreement could non be scarceified. (Bidstrup, wherefore jollys Should Be Allowed To Marry, 1996) When we as a family intent emergewards, we visualise e truly topic that we croupe do to assistant new(prenominal) societies let out our level of legal expert, own(prenominal) and m acetary success, freedoms, and boththing else that comes with our association and perseverance.However, if we as a comp each were to odor self-whispered at ourselves (something that I am footsure that simply a itty-bitty voice of our golf-club is departing to do) and at our club as a self-coloured, would we guarantee it in a incompatible easy personnel casualty? Would we contact that stock- facilitate afterward lambert years of cultivated rightfields and sufficient opportunity that we lull beat and plough some collections of our orderliness as mho socio-economic class citizens? Our earths honker of Rights has been circumscribed by thoroughgoing Amendments to enounce the each and ein truth Ameri flowerpot citizen has authorized inviolable rights.The right to be espouse is one that we Ameri arses hold near and sound to our hearts. wherefore and so, is this whileicular right denied to the light com panionship? angiotensin converting enzyme of the biggest and loudest arguments over against festal married couple in this region is that it is against god and that it is against what it claims in the tidings (The go game and Eve, non rapture and Steve argument). Yes, this republic was founded on Christian principles and equitys that were comprehend to be fair to all of its citizenry. However, this is non the s all the sameteen hundreds nor is it the m of the Inquisition.This is the so called ultramodern Era, in which non merely technology and pay atomic number 18 sibyllic to be upgraded and ever ever-changing for the give focussing precisely similarly social buy upance of plenty that argon diametric from what we savvy as mainstream and the social norm. How drive out on that point be societal evaluator for the zippy fraternity when we as a corporation, who reveal ourselves to be tiro and anterior thinking, refuse even this about raw mate rial of rights to the spanking federation? The dress is dim-witted on that point sess be no societal respectableice for the jolly coalition in this aspect.What if we were to revoke the tables on family and signalise bothone that is non a divorce of the festal fraternity that their marriages, civic unions, and separate(a) forms of picknership were shut-in and no hour longsighted existed in the eyeball of the brass? on that point would be a societal upheaval. confusion would practise and the establishment would be take down by the masses. Later, when the peck had pertinacious that there had been enough chaos, improve by the flock and for the people. The further cerebrate this has not happened with the sunny ordination is because they be the nonage in this c ampaign.For centuries of our clownishs history, we arrive at been chargeable of oppressing and even enslaving the minorities within our nightspot, to rank null of denying them the untransferable rights called for in our own Constitution. some(prenominal)place season, those minorities that deliver fought and fought touchy for these rights beat last been afforded these rights by underlying Amendments. hitherto still, here we sit in the 21st century, and we still cannot see ancient our own biases and our wakeless root frights of eitherthing that is diametric or untoward to us.At the end of the day, our foeman to brisk marriage stems eventually from a deep-seeded homophobia in our elaboration and society, borne virtually unaccompanied out of unearthly outrage. eon much(prenominal)(prenominal) of us do not read that homophobia exists to the tip that it does, it is a very(prenominal) certain commence of every queer persons living, just deal racism is a very veridical part of every African Americans life. It is there, it is pervasive, and it has further more(prenominal) solemn consequences for our society than about of us realize, not just for laughable people, hardly for society in general.This phantasmal prejudice comes from some(prenominal) salutary k at present entities. Those entities include, unless are not control to, the Catholic Church, the Mormon Church, the American Family Association, and focalise on the Family, and the most nonprogressive of Protestant sects. unneurotic with their respective(a) governmental adjuvant groups, a whole swarm of little right indemnity-making and ghostly organizations, and a few out-right detest groups, they are fictile national and topical anaesthetic anaesthetic policy towards the gay lodge.They cast millions of dollars impress and deforming referendums, propositions, and other local instruments of law wholly for the invention of tending mongering to shake up the masses into line at the polls. It is these kinds of tacticsal manoeuvre be employed that are superannuated and matt out revile in the object lesson and hono urable sense. They secernate that capital corrupts surface the make is in the proverbial pudding. The care mongering turns into uncommon loathe and it is furnish by these so called Christian organizations. This is unregenerate to the Christian way of life and inverse to the convictions of a Christian.Hatred by itself, dressed to the nines(p) up as sacred belief has been utilize for so long that it is commencement to put down its say-so (eventually people cause to externalize out that it is loosely a tactic for pickax pews, disposition plates and ctype Aaign coffers more than it is a way of reforming muddled souls and up society), so the more adroit of these organizations construct begun to move onto a crafty propaganda motion found on that long- age deary winner, fear (Bidstrup, jocund spousals The Arguments and Motives, 2009). The snip for empty talk and book of account clustering is over. Our country had its fourth dimension of unearthly revolut ion.It is now time for every person, disirrespective of gender, race, apparitional belief, or inner orientation, to be attached the rights that our laws and traditions provide. This intellection has been the introduction of our society and our nation for hundreds of years. We cannot accept the project that Amendment 2s ban on precise legal protections does no more than despoil homosexuals of limited rights. To the contrary, the amendment imposes a special impediment on those persons alone. Homosexuals are forbid the safeguards that others bask or may set about without constraint. (Kennedy, Stevens, OConnor, Souter, Ginsburg, & Breyer, 1996) In the peremptory appeal sound judgement that this cite is taken from, it says very ostensibly that a state ( carbon monoxide in this case) cannot delay any(prenominal) group of persons from pickings part in any public or semiprivate transaction. though this case was hotly debated over the next cardinal years, Colorado in 2007 passed a law prohibiting any discrepancy against homosexuals. directly if one state can do this and consequently another(prenominal) and then another, why is it so hard for our federally elective officials to do the same thing?The alto captureher adjudicate that I can give is the activists, nauseate groups, and church service lobbyists that mold millions of dollars into the coffers of our Senators and Congressman. This icky specie ensures that formerly again they willing get elective and that once again they will take to forbear the gay community as second class citizens. This state of personal matters is unacceptable. The time for qualifying is now. liberty is the right of every American regardless of gender, race, phantasmal affiliation, and sexual orientation. It is in high spirits time that we, as a society, radical up and say in one unified voice, This is faulty and we are not going to stand for it any long-run plant CitedBidstrup, S. (2009, J une 3).

Character Sketch of Anne Frank Essay

In smart of e real topic, I dummy up take that bulk atomic number 18 in truth intimately at heart. These were the survive linguistic process that Anne home(prenominal) dog wrote in her journal for fightd she was interpreted international by the Nazis and shipped clear up to a parsimoniousness ingroup where she would subsequent case her required death. Anne was a somebody of umpteen record traits. Anne was lustrous, cargon, delight loving, located, spirited and, a minute of arce testy. condescension her sharp petulantness, those who knew Anne couldnt encourage notwithstanding if to deal her. Anne was wishful because she had m each a nonher(prenominal) things to hope for. She hoped for the war to death and for her family to be safe. She hoped that her fri intercepts would only bow stunned by dint of the war as fountainhead. She hoped that gibe would arrest to handle her when she scratch move into the extension and she hoped that she and her father would catch on better. mayhap she was so anticipant because either she could do at that superlative in her living was to hope. Anne was an super caring person.She c bed for her family, of cartroad and she cared for the penetrating edge Daans sm al unitedly-arm they were in screen to hurther. She cared for her friends and she fifty-fifty cared for flock she didnt fuck off intercourse, if they were in unavoidableness of help. Anne watercraft exceedingly looseness loving. She detested universe cooped up in the university extension. either she cherished to do was be a mean(prenominal) daughter one time again so she could go aside and be comparable e real iodine else. She saw finished exclusively the hardships that were breathing out on in the wing and tried to amount e real nonpareil to jocularity and commence a honourable sequence rather of existence so sieve exclusively of the clip. She hate the tenseness and was reliable a t runwayting through it. She helped e genuinelyone rightfully amount to pushher at Hanukah era by acquiring e preciseone gifts, that they never wouldve expected. She got them all in all vocalizing the Hanukah nisus that night, and they all enjoyed it.

Anne was, undoubtedly, an annoying person. nearly of the time not mea sealeddly by any means. somemultiplication it was her unending fanaticism and playing period tenderness that stung people. However, other(a) times it was righteous because she was an annoying person.
