Adults in Rebound Relationships: A Narrative Inquiry

Grown-ups in Rebound Relationships: A Narrative Inquiry Adrienne Maie C. BactolSushmita G. De Leon Kyle Marie S. CayabanMa. Fatima G. Isanan Everyone has known about bounce back excursion. This sort of relationship comes following cutting off the past association. Bounce back are normally not founded on affection, rather it is only a path for individuals to mitigate themselves from the depression and hurt they felt from their separation. They are named as â€Å"rebound† relationship which mirrors a typical discernment that they are by one way or another extraordinary or not the same as a non-bounce back relationship. As indicated by Brumbaugh and Fraley (2014), â€Å"A bounce back relationship is regularly comprehended to be a relationship that is started not long after the finish of a noteworthy sentimental relationshipâ€before the emotions about the previous relationship have been completely resolved.† The announcement speaks to a normally held negative perspective on bounce back. In whole, the accord is that a bounce back relationship is a bandage that will divert us from managing uncertain intense subject matters identified with our past relationship. A bandage that can possibly remain set up incidentally and when finished, it despite everything uncovers an unhealed injury. Individuals who recently encountered a separation may pick up from connecting through their enthusiastic trouble especially by methods for reflection and thinking about another relationship (Marshall, Bejanyan, Ferenczi, 2013). Individuals depend on the portrayals of their previous accomplices in finding another accomplice to direct the manner in which they identify with others (BrumbaughFraley, 2006). Be that as it may, as indicated by Spielmann, MacDonald and Tackett (2011), ex-accomplices saw as having high potential for important association are particularly hard to get over when current or future accomplices miss the mark in fulfilling requirements for closeness and closeness. Be that as it may, concentrating on another relationship choices †either another accomplice or a hopeful point of view toward connections †diminishes connection to an ex-accomplice for tensely joined people (Spielmann, MacDonald, Wilson, 2009). Then again, as per Spielmann, Joel, MacDonald and Ko gan (2012) ex-accomplices might be utilized in a replacement procedure to reinforce belongingness needs when new relationship gets harsh. One sensible way that may encourage the way toward giving up is to go into another relationship (Spielmann et al., 2009). However, it doesn't really imply that the advantages gave by this way in getting over the past accomplice exceed the expense. To this point, there is minimal exact proof of solid expenses to bounce back connections. Undoubtedly, Wolfinger (2007) contends that separation and time-to-remarriage measurements give no steady proof to bounce back related issues. On the other hand, Brumbaugh and Fraley (2014) made an exact examination about bounce back connections, their exploration recommends that finding another accomplice is advantageous contrasted with those individuals who stay single after the relationship has finished, and individuals who stood by longer to begin their resulting relationship has lesser government assistance than individuals who start their relationship rapidly who additionally would be advised to perspective on themselves. They likewise discovered that, individuals who start their relationship quickly may discovered some likeness between their past accomplice and new accomplice. In conclusion, one explanation that individuals go into a bounce back relationship is to make retribution to their past accomplice and to vent their rage. Relationship Termination It is essential to know and comprehend about bounce back connections from which it has create. Relationship end was related with increments in mental pain too diminishes in the way that people rate their fulfillment with life which speaks to a critical stressor (Rhoades, Kamp Dush, Atkins, Stanley, Markman, 2011). Also, Marshall et al. discovered that individuals who had agonizing separations may permit others to develop and be strong, cleverer, and may have higher preparing of developing themselves as a person. They additionally settled that diverse connection styles of individual can add to advancement of the individual after the relationship has terminated.They inferred that an individual who has a messed up heart and endured the most has the likelihood to urge themselves to have an idealistic change. Then again, apparently avoidant people seem to feel they have less to lose in profoundly close connections, and thus expect less agony when the relationship closes (Spielmann, Maxwel l, MacDonald,Baratta, 2012). Relationship end expresses that it is regularly discouraging in any event, for the individual who started to cut off the association (Rhoades et al., 2011). It is run of the mill to experience a time of lamenting in the wake of ending the sentimental relationship. During this period, individuals may encounter bitterness, outrage, and at times in any event, testing uneasiness (Chung et al., 2003). Individuals likewise frequently experience significant forlornness in the wake of losing an accomplice (Moller, Fouladi, McCarthy, Hatch, 2003). Unquestionably, genuine results may emerge if the relationship end was a separation, for example, care contentions andmonetaryneeds(Wickrama, Lorenz, Conger, Elder, Abraham, Fang, 2006). With these, other than the quick impacts of a relationship misfortune, the passing of an accomplice can broadly affect life in spite of the way that most of the ends associated with separations are unwanted yet some could be positive.In expansion, relationship end, explicitly whenunanticipated, is known to hitthe thought toward oneself and confidence. Among the best techniques for fixing this, is to demonstrate that the individual is commendable and prepared for adequately getting new accomplice (Campbell, Trapnell, Heine, Katz,Lavallee, Lehman, 1996). Truth be told, Tashiro and Frazier (2003) states that individualimprovement is regular after separations. After you leave your past accomplice, it might permit you to expand another sentiment of self-rule or change unwanted practices and perspectives. Examination shows people who are personal connection have lower dynamic public activities than single people (GerstelSarkisian, 2006). In total, if the past accomplice was a poor match or unfavorably affected ones mental prosperity, the individual might be progressively fulfilled and balanced without the accomplice in their life. Bounce back Relationships and Coping Mechanisms Methods for dealing with stress are utilized by people in endeavors to determine troubles or deal with their inward or outer requests that are trying to their mental assets (Bouchard Theriault, 2003). Moreover, Choo, Hatfield and Levine (1996) express that â€Å"men will in general utilize enthusiastic interruption or hosing strategies following separations, including such things as covering themselves in work or sports to overlook or disregard the torment coming about because of the ongoing breakup†. In this way, men will attempt to keep away from the negative contemplations or feelings that are associated with therelationship end by concentrating somewhere else, which recommends the likelihood that mencould likewise effectively divert themselves by methods for another relationship. Additionally, men tend to be all the more vulnerable, paralyzed, or disillusioned when social terminations occur. They have been found to deal with the conclusion of a nostalgic relationship more troublesome than ladies, and furthermore been found to have more grounded feelings of pity and despondency (Demaray, Malecki, Rueger, 2008). Men are generally take part in direct undesirable practices, for example, appearing at their ex-partner’s home. Ladies, then again, are well on the way to participate in less immediate undesirable practices, for example, leaving telephone messages (Haugaard Seri, 2003). As indicated by Shimek and Bello (as refered to in Hill, Rubin Peplau, 1976), ladies are well on the way to start the separation than men do. It could be expected that ladies have encountered less enthusiastic savagery and interruptions. Ladies get the chance to know about social issues sooner than men do, which licenses them to get ready for the certain and leave men surprising disclosure. Ladies will in general beginning following and reliably endeavoring to restart the relationship by their ex-accomplices as more nonsensical than male. This at that point presents theid ea that men could be almost certain than ladies to go into bounce back sort connections after relationshiptermination as an approach to divert themselves away from the negative feelings related with the ongoing separation. In any case, one longitudinal examination of college understudies analyzing the determining blunder found that the members who had completed a two-month sentimental relationship, lion's share some portion of them announced improved thriving following ten weeks. These progressions were increasingly unordinary in individuals who revealed being truly charmed by their accomplices or who made some hard memories in seeking after dating someone else (Eastwick, Finkel, Krishnamurti, Loewenstein, 2008). Indeed, analysts have found assortment of pointers for enthusiastic recuperation after a separation which acclimatize friendship for the past accomplice, just as length of the past relationship, connection style and situational factors, for example, continued contact with the ex-accomplice. They have not given a particular and reasonable time slot to serve everybody (Locker, McIntosh, Hackney, Wilson, Wiegand, 2010). Storage and partners (2010) additionally found that the shorter length of pas t relationship and snappiness of returning back to a relationship were related to upgraded social change when surveyed close by with an assortment of situational factors including social help. At the end of the day, quickly captivating in another relationship is all the more impressive in lifting an arrival to positive modification and social recuperation than all the more generally recognized frameworks such contributing time with family or mates. What's more, commitment in another relationship additionally appears to permit the person to forestall burdensome states frequently connected with social exclusio

Markus Allard Professor Anne Redding Administrative Justice 245 20 November 2016 A Closer Look At The Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause Our 14th amendment is perhaps the most important amendment because it helps defend some of our fundamental rights. This amendment extends the due process procedure to all citizens when trying to deprive them of life, liberty, or property. The amendment also ensures that everyone born in the United States or naturalized is guaranteed citizenship. This helped grant the right to vote for many americans who before were excluded from this right. It was ratified on july 9th in 1868 following the civil war along with 13th and 15th amendment. These are known as the civil war amendments and had to be accepted by the southern states in order for them to be brought back into the union. The 14th amendment in particular was designed to protect the basic civil rights granted in the constitution to all americans. However a lot of issues have arose over time in regarding the 14th amendment equal protection clause. Movements like Black Lives Matter have brought forth some of these issues happening today. The supreme court has made interpretations of the 14th amendment in cases like Plessy vs Ferguson, Brown vs the Board of Education, and even in when overturning the case Dred Scott vs Sanford.

The Vel dHiv Incident - Free Essay Example

Sample details Pages: 3 Words: 988 Downloads: 5 Date added: 2019/08/16 Category Medicine Essay Level High school Topics: AIDS (HIV) Essay Did you like this example? The Vel dHiv incident was a dark time in history involving the arrest and round up of foreign Jews in Paris during the German occupation of France.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   In May and June of 1942, head of the SS Siecherheitsdienst Reinhard Heyrich, forced labor employment organizer Fritz Sauckel and Jewish policy official Adolf Eichmann visited Paris. Later in June into July, the French administration was replaced by the collaborationist Vichy regime instituted by the Germans. This would serve to make their plans to deport the Jews easier as they could exploit Frances policy: all Jews had to wear gold stars of David to make clear that they were Jews. Don’t waste time! Our writers will create an original "The Vel dHiv Incident" essay for you Create order   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   On July 16th, 1942, around 4,500 French policemen began to arrest all Jewish in Paris en masse as ordered by the German authorities. 13,000 Jews, around 4,000 of which were children, were rounded up and taken to the Velodrome dHiver in the span of one week. Inside the stadium, it was horribly crowded and the smell was noted to be horrible, the facility not built to hold so many people. There was very little water and food, as well as poor sanitation that only exacerbated the confusion and panic among the Jews. In the following week, the Jews were moved once more to the Pilthiviers concentration camp in Loiret and the Beaune-la-Rolande concentration camp in Drancy. When they arrived there in the end of July and until the beginning of August, they were prepared to be transported to Auschwitz. Children as young as babies and as old as early adolescents were separated from their parents and were left behind until the end of the month, where they would be tran sported to their tragic deaths with complete strangers in September.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Two months after the Vel dHiv, approximately 1,000 Jews were deported to Auschwitz every two to three days and by the end of September, 38,000 had been deported to their ends. By 1945, only 780 of those 38,000 had survived.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   The general public had mixed feelings about the incident, from actively working with the Germans (civil administration and police force) to arrest Jews to indifference and even empathy towards those being persecuted. Though they were a minority, there were those who tried to help the Jews by purposefully ignoring the escapees instead of turning them over and those who risked their own lives by hiding them from the authorities. Because the public had knowledge of women and children also being included in the round-up, groups like the church and press protested the authorities.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Two notable survivors from the incident are Sarah Lichtsztejn-Montard and Cecile Widerman-Kaufer. Lichtsztejn was 14 at the time but managed to escape with guidance from her mother, who intentionally lied to keep her daughter safe. Lichtsztejn recalled that on that Thursday morning, many people had still been asleep (it was 6 AM) but were woken up by police banging on their doors and forcing them out of their homes, giving them no information as to why or where they were being taken. They barely had time to collect even the minimum amount of belongings, much less their senses before they were carted off to the stadium. When Lichtsztejn arrived at the stadium, she had met up with some of her own classmates, who seemed unperturbed by the situation.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Widerman was 12 at the time and managed to survive because her mother had sent a note to her grandparents to let them know what was happening, who were able to contact a French Catholic woman who was already hiding five other Jewish children in her home. She recorded her entire experience everyday until the end of the war in her diary, later publishing it into the book Goodbye for Always: The Triumph of the Innocents. At first, she didnt want to share her experience, believing the pain she felt was only hers to bear, but later changed her mind, finding importance in sharing her story so people would not only understand her pain, but learn from it as well.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   While there are many like Widerman who believe and insist on learning from history, there are those who dont. French head of the National Front Marine Le Pen believes that France shouldnt be held accountable for the atrocities at all, remarking that the incident was the fault of the Germans and completely disregarding that the Vichy regime collaborated with the Germans on their own will. She also continues with a supporting statement, saying that she stands by her opinion because she believes that France has taught the younger generations to only criticize and feel shame for being French because of Vel dHiv. By deflecting responsibility, it s supposed to make youth proud of being French again. This is a stark difference in opinions compared to former French president Jacques Chirac and then leader, Franà ­Ã‚ §ois Hollande, who have both apologized for Frances participation. Current leader Emmanuel Macron referred to her comments as a serious mistake and French Jewish organizations have considered them insults to France.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Le Pens belief is shared by others, but fortunately, its not a opinion shared by the majority of the population. Despite this very real event with very real survivors, some will still try to play down the atrocities or just flat-out deny them. Whether this is because they cannot stand the harsh reality of the world or because they have a prejudice within themselves that warps their views, it is important that we look back on events such as these and learn from them. Erasing history or oversimplifying it can lead to inaccurate teachings of it to our future generations, preventing them from making informed conclusions about events and making it difficult for them to take away important lessons that they can apply in their own life. As people who live on this Earth, it is a hope that we are able to always look to history with a clear mind and clear eyes so we can make fair judgements that arent clouded by bias brought on by misinformation.

Importance of Effective leadership in an Organization Free-Samples

Question: How to Improve a team that has become Negative and Unproductive under Previous. Answer: Negativity in the workplace might spread like wildfire and it might even get worse targeting the externally related people of the organisation as well. Leaders or the managers of an organisation remain in charge of overcoming these disputes (Block 2016). The primary step to be undertaken in order to remove the toxicity from the team is to initiate the crucial conversation that would help to know the details of the matter that had compelled the employees to go negative. One of the leadership qualities, communication ability, of the manager is reciprocated with the attitude that the manager shows at the timer of handling fearful and damaged relationship of the team. The idea behind this communication is to gain knowledge details and accountability of the reason behind going negative (Blum and Beck 2015). Once this gets known, the next thing to join is to take action against the bullying or the rumours that had created a miserable environment in the work place. Thus, second most importa nt strategy to be undertaken is to understand the situation and work accordingly. For this, a leader should possess the problem solving skills. Professionally facilitated sessions can also help to spot the problems and challenges faced by the team (Longoni 2014). These problems need to be worked on by creating particular goal or vision to overcome the issues. The idea is to forget the mistake and move on by promising that the future will bring better achievements suppressing the existing problems. The next step that falls as a part of the leadership quality is to develop a social contract for the team behaviour. Once the problems are solved and new strategies are put to effectiveness, it is important to build a social contract that would engage in developing the behaviour of the team (Sarvaiya and Wu 2014). The idea is to suppress the negative vibes and prescribe positive vibes that is built on trust and transparent behaviour among the employees. In this stage, the leader might also take official steps by announcing or sending mails to the employees that no one should be further engaged in such activities that could create negativity in the team (Longoni 2014). In case of any kind of distress, any employee is free to discuss their issues with the leader. Dysfunctional activities will lead to loss of opportunities and achievement that would have otherwise gained as a team. Building better opportunities of communication and becoming cohesive as a single team is the most appropriate requirement for the members to work as a team. The idea is to work towards achieving the same goal of business that would ultimately lead to improvement in the productivity of the organisation. In order to do so, removing the negative Nancy from the team is important (Blum and Beck 2015). Better communication with the members of the teams can only help to overcome the barriers and the conflicts that the team faces. It falls in the part of the manager to initiate that communication and create better environment for every person to work in the organisation.

European Imperialism Essays - Windows Games, Imperialism, Invasions

European Imperialism Chris Callahan March 13, 2000 Per 2 History European Imperialism Between 1875 and 1914, parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America came under influence of Imperialism. Imperialism is the domination of the political, economic, and cultural life of one country or region by another country. Imperialism was a self-sufficient way of living. European's wanted a self-reliant way of living and gained control of smaller countries and regions to spread influence throughout the world. Imperialism has helped countries build better technology, increase trade, and has helped to build large and powerful militaries. Technology skyrocketed during imperialistic times. Money was available to research and develop new products. New technology made it possible to produce goods in enormous quantities. This cause larger profits. Roads and railroads were built in Africa. They were used mostly to connect European settlements to the coast. They also served to make African products available to the world market. Medicine was also introduced to help people live longer and healthier lives. Technology has been a major factor in the growth of settlements. Technology is needed to better our societies. Another benefit of Imperialism is increased trade. Increased trade brings more money to the colonies, which in turn boosts the economic state of the colonies. Settlements would now be able to raise the living standards and build schools, farms, and communal facilities. (add more) Imperialism can help military power in the colonies to grow. This means that less and less wars would take place. A larger military also means more jobs for citizens. A larger military also means better protection from local territories. (add more) Overall, Imperialism has helped almost all the settlements in which it has been practiced. Imperialism has helped better technology, has improved trade, lowered taxes, increased profits of people, helped gain raw materials, and has helped the military grow. All of this has helped Europe grow economically. Conclusion: The sun never sets on the British Empire

Process and Project Planning Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2000 words

Process and Project Planning - Essay Example This report examines the problem of N&F manufacturing by analysing the models that could be used to forecast sales in order to helot eh firm determine potential sales and avoid losses. Forecasting Models and their Significance Sales and the revenue that is realized from sales are very significant to any organization that operates with the aim of maximizing profits. The relevance of sales revenue cannot be ignored since it helps an organization meet its expenses such as payment of its employees, raw materials and meeting fixed costs. Due to their significance, it is necessary for an organization to forecast the expected sales over a given period of time in order to determine its level of production. Effective sales forecast is necessary for future planning of an organization. For instance, accurate sales forecast could enable an organization decide its future operations especially in terms of diversification. A company is able to choose the line of diversification given correct sales forecasts for the different lines of operations. Most industries are characterised by free entry and exit whereby new firms could enter the industry while other companies could leave the industry. Sales forecasts are relevant in helping new entrants venture into a given profitable industry. The sales forecasts included in business plans are vital for decision on entry into a given industry. As noted by Morwitz (2001), sales forecasts are a central section of a business plan given that a new company has not historical sales data. The forecasts are used by business financial providers such as banks to provide capital for investors. Lastly, sales forecasts are important in determining the amount of inventory to be kept by an organization (Morwitz, 2001). Sales Forecasting Model for N&F Manufacturing Forecasting involves various methods that do forecasts mainly from judgmental sources and statistical sources of data. Judgmental forecasting methods have been called qualitative while meth ods that derive their data from statistical sources have been referred to as either quantitative or time series methods. In spite of the differences among the different forecasting methods, judgmental and statistical methods are integrated together and therefore applied simultaneously while undertaking sales or cost forecasts of an organization. Although many methods could be used to forecast the sales of Air New Zealand, this study seeks to explain two methods that are direct sales extrapolation and causal approaches to sales forecasting. a) Direct Sales Extrapolation Extrapolation methods utilize historical statistical data on sales of a company to predict the future performance of the firm in terms of sales revenue. The most common of extrapolation technique is the exponential smoothing that assumes that more recent data of sales of an organization is weighted heavily. The other assumption and principle of this method is that it utilizes long time series data for sales of a firm when developing a forecast model. According to Meade (2001), reliability of the data used in the study is a principle that cannot be ignored. The reliability of data used for forecasting is not debatable if the forecast is to be useful to the organization. Simple accurate, timely and

M4a2 TEAM DEV AND LEADERSHIP Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

M4a2 TEAM DEV AND LEADERSHIP - Essay Example nal connections built over time between the team members, therefore passionate debates regarding more critical issues associated with the task at hand were replaced with veiled or irrelevant discussion about social issues among group membership. This created, in itself, a secondary type of dysfunction referred to by many scholars in academia and leadership philosophy as lack of commitment. Why is this? Because individuals in the group did not consider the development of conflict as being vital to producing a basket of opinion, it did not provide the group with the foundations for quality and relevant ideas about cognitive dysfunction. The social connections within the group put members into the position where individuals would, to save their in-group status, avoid debatable topics that would have enhanced the discussion and improved cognitive mapping. According to Lencioni (2002) dysfunction is introduced into teams where there is a strong social connection and members will seek what is referred to as artificial harmony rather than worthwhile debate or discussion. Katzenbach and Smith (1992) support this notion, suggesting that the conventional wisdom among in-group members, or where there are powerful, previous social connections, is to avoid conflict in pursuit of harmonious discussion not necessarily relevant to the actual, productive construction of conflict. This avoids the ability to create workable, differing opinions that somewhat flatten the quality of discussion toward the main goal assigned to the group. If left unchecked, Field (2009) iterates that it will become increasingly difficult to establish a sense of purpose for the group. The team will become further more indecisive due to the desire to continue with in-group discussion more relevant to the social environment rather than academia. In order to overcome indecisiveness, lack of group clarity about goals, and fear of conflict, it would be pertinent for the group leader to actually inspire

A Letter Concerning the Tuition Fee Increase in the Campus Essay Example for Free

A Letter Concerning the Tuition Fee Increase in the Campus Essay This academic year in our school had been very exciting and full of learning for the students. The school had been efficient enough in providing us the quality education that students’ need in preparation of their future careers. However it had been a serious issue in the campus among us, students, the continued increase in our tuition and other fees.   Students see, that in order to escalate further the quality of education in our school, the school has to face strenuous modifications in technology, books, and other school facilities. However, there would always a need for students to be consulted first about the issue, because these matters would always concern us. Along with the increase in the tuition fee is the increase in all other fees. Why? First, if the school would not fight for a greater state subsidy, then the school had to pay for the bills, the salary as well as to the technology and materials it would employed. With this matter, the budget would come from the tuition of the students and everything else would be increased; Internet fee, laboratory fee, school paper, etc. Second, education is supposed to be a right and not just a privilege, but with the continued increase in the tuition fee, along with other miscellaneous fees in the campus, there had been an apparent decline in the enrollment rate compared to the previous years. This only shows that few students were able to access the right to education because of the increase. Hence, there is a significant relationship between tuition fee increase and to the limited access of students to education (Dalton 2006). A similar study from the Rand Corporation in 1995 indicated that for every 10percent increase in the tuition fee of the students, there would be a 1.97 percent in the enrollment of the focus of study. Third, the effect of tuition fee and other fee increases would be felt less by those of the middle class brackets. Most of the burden would be felt by those in the lower class; usually with among black and with ethnic backgrounds. Accordingly, majority of the students in most schools were usually coming from the lower bracket and they were the ones who were greatly affected. The school is the only way for these students to move to the next ladder in the society. The tendencies for these students are to dropout or to transfer to a cheaper school with low educational standards. Needless to say, the educational preparation that they got is not enough to equip them for a high paying job in the future. The tuition fee increase that the school implemented is a subtle permit for the state to less care for the educational welfare of its citizens. Students are wary of the fact, that because of the tuition fee increase, we have to burden ourselves with part time jobs more than double just to compensate for the shortage in budget. Students recognized that tuition fee increase in needed to uplift the educational quality in this school. However, it is too fast and too soon to implement. Students are not prepared yet; emotionally, physically and financially.   There was no consultation in the increase in fees. It had always been our right to know and the responsibility for this school to be transparent. The students carried the baggage of financial hardship just to beautify the school, but the education that we got before then was still the same as now. Except of course in slight innovations in the laboratory facilities and in technology, the same education system we got from the school. If tuition fee increase is really bound to happen, we wanted to be prepared for it. We wanted an apparent positive change in the learning that we got; of course it is not to say that we got no learning from this school, it is just that, the change in learning is just minimal. This school has been our battleground to combat poverty, to uplift our situations and to gain learning. If the school is to increase its tuition fee and other fees, we expect that it would also provide subsidy through scholarship, or other alternative solutions to augment our financial difficulties. As well as it is the responsibility of our parents to finance our education; it is also the responsibility of the state to provide to its people the right to education. But how could we get this if tour very right has now become a mere privilege. The sad fact is, not the privilege of the majority but of the few only.   If we are destined to suffer from the tuition fee and other fee increases, would it be right that we would also demand great changes in everything. Would the payment that we give, be enough for us to pose subordinate command over our instructors and over other employees; anyway, we paid for them. Students believe, that in this school, students of characters should be made and not just a mere passive, technologically dependent ones. We need support to develop our minds, which is the role of this school. But where would we go now if this school would deprive us of that need? We seek to be consulted first, we need data of its great benefits on us, and we need alternatives for the increase that is accessible for everybody and not only for the few.

Market Pricing Essay -- essays research papers fc

Executive Summary Price is said to be the biggest factor in the marketing mix. If the price is not right, then the product will not sell. Consumers feel that they have to get something back, such as an intrinsic value from the products. Pricing is affixed with many different variables such as the flexibility of price, geographic term, discounts and price levels over the product cycle. A marketing manager must also consider what type of pricing objective to use. For this paper, I have made myself the new marketing manager of Foster Farms Poultry Products. Body The objective that I feel is best for this company is profit-orientated. This is because I believe we have established our name in the community and the state. People recognize us as the leader in poultry production. Since the company has remained profitable since the beginning, we strongly believe that all we should focus on now is maintaining the return on our investment. We shall also adhere to the flexible price policy. I say this because the more a store buys, the more they save. If a store buys large quantities, then discounts can be given and this will also increase sales in the store because the stores can charge a bit less for the product. It’s up to the store on how much to markup the poultry. They can charge a dollar a pound or fifty cents per pound. You will also notice that many stores offer the chicken at lower prices when its expiration date is near. This is due to the nature of the product being peri...

Personality Testing of New Hires

Personality Testing During the Hiring Process Personality testing is not a new topic. What is new is the ongoing shift in mindset that has diluted the value of personality testing during the hiring process and only finds a value in using personality testing after the candidate has joined the organization. This will be challenged by first providing a brief history on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and reviewing the years of dedicated research that went into the development of the test. Second, it will reveal the correlations of the test results to job requirements through specific examples. Third, it will discuss why applicant honesty and company policy makes personality testing necessary. Fourth, it will identify and support how many organizations successfully use the MBTI for applications other than pre-employment. Finally, organizations utilizing personality testing, specifically the MBTI, as a part the hiring process will identify the strongest and most compatible candidate for the required organizational needs. Many organizations are following the notion that personality tests have no relevance to job performance and should not be used as a tool to support the hiring process; however, it can be used appropriately for leadership identification, self-awareness and team building (Robbins & Judge, 2008). The testing of personalities was at its peak in the early nineteen fifties with MBTI leading the way (Overholt, 2004). Banks initially used the MBTI as a pre-screening tool in nineteen forty six. Not one or two banks, but the entire industry was committed to utilizing the MBTI. This concept of capturing personality was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother Katherine Cook Briggs. They performed rigorous studies of some earlier work by a Swiss psychiatrist by the name of Carl Jung. The first assessment was a couple of simple questionnaires that would gauge people by their personality type. There are sixteen possible types that are configured out of four specific categories. The dedication of the Myers-Briggs team was unsurpassed. Even after her mother passed away, Myers spent her life advancing this body of work. Rubis et al. , 2005) For those who may not be familiar with the structure of the test, here are the parameters. There are one hundred questions that are situational based. The participant is to choose the answer that best describes the general actions or feelings they usually have when in that situation (Robbins & Judge, 2008). The questions are built around general concepts of personality, and by answering the questions it helps to reveal the participant’s personality type (Pepper, Kolesnikov-Jessop, & Herman, 2005). There is no right or wrong when answering. The questions are open to interpretation, because every question is presented on logical opposition (Bentley, 2007). The participant simply determines which one fits them the best. Some examples of the questions a participant would be asked are as follows: â€Å"Would you rather be considered a practical person or an ingenious person? â€Å", and: â€Å"Does following a schedule appeal to you or cramp you? † (Ross, n. p. ) Once the participant finishes the test, the answers are consolidated into one of the sixteen personality types. Anyone that takes the test will fit into one of the sixteen personality types that the MBTI generates (Rutzick, 2007, June). To understand how the MBTI can be beneficial in the hiring process, a further definition of the different personality types is necessary. Robbins & Judge (2008) state the following: Individuals are classified as extroverted or introverted (E or I), sensing or intuitive (S or N), thinking or feeling (Tor F), judging or perceptive (J or P). These terms are defined as follows: Extroverted verses introverted. Extroverted individuals are outgoing and assertive. Introverts are quiet and shy. Sensing verses Intuitive. Sensing types are practical and prefer routine and order. Intuitives rely on unconscious processes and look at the â€Å"big picture†. Thinking verses feeling. Thinking types use reason and logic to handle problems. Feeling types rely on their personal values and emotions. Judging verses perceiving. Judging types want control and prefer their world to be ordered and structured. Perceiving types are flexible and spontaneous. (p. 108) Examples of how the actual results would be presented and what would be learned about the participant are: the INTJ or introverted, intuitive, thinking, judging individual and would be considered a visionary; they are strong willed and could sometimes be considered bullheaded; they are creative and like to act on their own ideas and thoughts. (Robbins & Judge, 2008). Another example would be the ESTJ or extrovert, sensing, thinking, judging individual and would be considered as the organizer; they are planners who like solving real problems, they work well around others and are very business minded (Robbins & Judge, 2008). Using the two previous examples of personality types, consider the following scenario: Employer â€Å"A† has a position open in the operations department for a supervisor. Of the two candidates, the INTJ or the ESTJ, which one would be the better fit in an operations supervisor, knowing both candidates interviewed equally? The ESTJ would make the best choice, organized, business minded, like solving problems, and as an extrovert will do better working around other people. In contrast if the INTJ is placed in this operational position, it would not challenge his visionary traits and his strong will would work against him when trying to supervise others. It would not be long before the employer or employee, or both, realized they were the wrong fit and separating the employee may be the best solution. This would cause an increase in turnover and training costs that could have been avoided. The information personality testing provides becomes extremely useful when trying to find the proper job fit, and it would have to increase job satisfaction because now the candidate is in a position or role that suites his unique personality, increasing the potential for them to naturally excel. In conjunction with the interview process, personality testing opens up insight that could easily be missed when trying to assess if a candidate will be the right fit for the position (Baker, 2008). There are other factors that create an importance for personality testing during the hiring process. Two of these factors are: the increased levels of misrepresentation on resumes and applicants learning or paying for coaching to teach them how to give a great interview (Van Steenwyk, 2008). Another factor to be considered is that references are getting harder to validate. Many organizations have implemented policies that do not allow the providing of job specific references, they will only validate dates of employment (Van Steenwyk). Having the ability to draw consensus between the information on a resume, the information given by references, what is learned in the interview, and then match all that information up against the results of the personality test allows the perspective employer to have more points of congruency when making a final decision. It helps the employer find the personal side of what is on the resume and reduces failure based on job incompatibility (Baker, 2008). It could be argued that candidates could learn to give what they believe to be the desired answers on a personality test, like the MBTI. Although not impossible it is a bad way to start a new job and most tests check for continuity of the participant’s answers to make sure the candidate in not lying (Overholt, 2004). Some other highly accepted ways the MBTI is used in organizations are for leadership identification and selection, self-awareness, and team building (Rubis et al. 2005). When an organization needs to select or identify leaders, testing becomes very useful to find the personality traits that are essential to successful leaders (Robbins & Judge, 2008). There are benefits to the established leaders learning more about their own personality. Once the leaders are armed with the characterizations of their personality type, they can make accommodations for their weaknesses or soften overly direct qualities helping them in their handling of situational outcomes (Rutzick, 2007). During the training or coaching of leaders, many professional trainers or coaches choose to use the MBTI as the first step for helping the leader better understand who they are so they can better understand and lead others (Bentley, 2007). For any leaders to be truly effective they must be able to understand others, allowing them to tap into what motivates or drives an individual or group (Bentley, 2007). Personality testing provides that essential information. Work teams find personality testing to be helpful during times of conflict resolution as many times personality differences are at the center of most communication barriers (Bentley, 2007). By understanding their individual differences, team members learns to become more tolerant of the other because now they understand why the others think what they think or react the way they react to certain situations, this understanding creates a more cohesive and productive team (Bentley, 2007). Stronger cooperation will decrease costly turnover and increase job satisfaction because it stimulates open sharing and sparks creativity. (Robbins & Judge, 2008) Currently, there are eighty nine of the Fortune One Hundred businesses that employ the MBTI for their pre-hiring process, team building, and leadership identification and selection (Pepper et al. , 2005). Personality testing works and the results are trustworthy. To state it more directly, eighty nine of the top one hundred companies choose not to lower the bar, and place a higher importance on wanting to know who they are getting into business with before they make the job offer. This type of emphasis on the selection process helps these companies sustain the strong cultures that are in place, by realizing that several candidates will have the skill or the talent to perform at high levels (Robbins & Judge, 2008). They only hire the candidates that possess that high level to perform and exemplify the highest compatibility with the organization’s culture (Robbins & Judge, 2008). The MBTI has a history of proven success and worldwide acceptance as a pre-screening tool (Robbins & Judge, 2008). Many organizations make costly mistakes in the hiring of individuals only to discover that because of their personality they just do not fit in. Organizations utilizing testing, in cooperation with the appropriate interview process, greatly reduce costly hiring mistakes and job incompatibilities, while increasing individual and team performance. The trend in people management and development has moved from hard cutting and insensitive to a softer hyper-sensitive approach.

Introduction: HepG2 is a recurrent cell line that contains liver carcinoma cells which are derived from a 15-year-old Caucasian male who had a well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2 n.d.). Cancer has been defined as undisciplined growth of aberrant cells (American cancer society 2015). There were 14.1 million cancer cases in 2012 globally, and it is predicted to increase to 21.7 million new cancer cases by 2030 (American cancer society 2015). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered the most prevalent leading form of liver cancer (Sanyal et. al 2010 and Raphael et. al 2012). Those authors have emphasized that 90% of HCC cases have resulted due to cirrhosis. Chemotherapy is used to destruct the growth of cancer cells by preventing them from dividing and growing, more specifically, it works by induction apoptosis (Nordqvist 2015). Most anticancer drugs tend to activate the inactivated apoptosis pathway or modify detective apoptosis genes such as cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (Hassan et al. 2014). Cisplatin is platinum drugs (Rafi 2006:48). While 5-FU is antimetabolites drugs (Rafi 2006:51). Those two drugs are considered the first-line therapy for cancer (Haydon 2015). Apoptosis is highly genetically regulated program that is responsible for removing unwanted cells such as genetically mutated cells, damaged, or virus-infected cells (Hassan et al. 2014 and Hingorani et al. 2011). Apoptosis is required to maintain healthy multicellular organisms.Show MoreRelatedSymptoms And Treatment Of Cancer Treatments1664 Words   |  7 Pagesdealing with cancer treatments now, slight flaws in our practice after therapy have been present; in doing so, patients have experienced personal and emotional discomfort after therapy.
