He is strong in staying at the task at hand however due to his lack of motivation he hands in sloppy unfinished work when we know he is capable for terrific work. In order for Jim to feel satisfied with his work and complete the projects with polished and precise work we need to possible find a better shift or working conditions to possibly find the bottom line of the issue to his unhappy work. For this motivation we chose the McGregor’s X and Y theory where to receive the work that we need we have to direct Jim and coerce him into performing the work. (University of Phoenix,
Because the crystal merchant is fearful of what his life will be like after he achieves his dream, he chooses to remain in Tangier to maintain his business instead of following his dream pilgrimage to Mecca.

The second character to blame for Lennie’s death is Lennie. He is responsible for his own death as he has no idea of his own strength. His inability to comprehend most things leaves him at a disadvantage. This disadvantage allows him to be manipulated into bad situations which will only cause him trouble. Although he has learning difficulties he can still tell the moral difference between right and wrong.
Furthermore Jack’s use of the word ‘should’ instead of could or would, to describe Roy, signifies how, at that point, Jack thinks that all other forms of manhood, other than Roy’s, is not correct . Jack admires Roy and over his time with Roy Jack sees the control and power Roy possess over Rosemary. This leads to Jack thinking that holding ‘power and control’ is necessary for being ‘masculine’. Knowing that he does not own these traits, Jack feels as though he is not a real man and for this purpose is not in favor of who he is. Jack feels the stress of the expectations of manhood from society, he perceives himself as not being manly when comparing himself to the ‘values’ of being a man, and consequently it is these feelings of insufficiency that make him despise who he
“Individualism” Ralph Waldo Emerson describes his philosophy of individualism, explaining how “man” should rely on himself in order to reveal his uniqueness, so he says that “trust in thyself” and do not become a conformist are part of the steps of encouraging individualism. He refers to everybody, throughout the essay, as “man” and “mankind.” Emerson’s “Self Reliance” essay begins by quoting an epilogue to Beaumont and Fletcher’s: “Man is his own star” (Emerson 259). Declaring the importance of a man being authentic honest and confident; therefore, he continues through the paper promoting individualism. He talks about how important it is to believe and rely on man's own thought rather than accept other people’s ideas as man's own ideology. Then Emerson encourages his audience to recognize their own thoughts and not to be afraid of letting them out.
When his soldier Ted Lavender died all he could do was cry and blame himself for his death, “He felt shame. He hated himself.... this was something he would have to carry like a stone in his stomach for the rest of war.” (O’Brien, The Things They Carried 42) but he didn’t let that very heart-wrenching emotion of feeling responsible for someone’s death cloud his judgment or cause him to take his job lightly. Towards the end of the story he stepped up, over-coming the guilt he felt after the death of Ted Lavender. Learning from his mistakes and changing the way he lead his platoon “He would not tolerate laxity. He would show strength, distancing himself.” (O’Brien, The Things They Carried 100) He showed courage while seeing the bigger picture telling himself “that his obligation was not to be loved but to lead.” (O’Brien, The Things They Carried 101) Masculinity is very apparent in this platoon.
Using active listening techniques helped me become a better communicator. Alan is nervous about the interactions with his employee because he is not confident and that is causing him to pseudo listen to their concerns because he is preoccupied by his lack of confidence to conduct the interviews. Alan is also not using a tactful approach to the conversation as well. A better approach would be to start with what the employee is doing right and build them up before criticizing their work. 2.
This is because of the way Dimmesdale acts after his sins. He has realized what he has done and he tries to purify himself, but goes about it the wrong way. And yes, Dimmesdale lets Hester suffer alone most of her life because he does not confess, but at least he had guilt for it and he suffers in his own way. Chillingworth makes Dimmesdale suffer greatly during his life and he feels fulfilled by that because he is doing what he set out to do, to make him suffer and feel terrible for what he has done. And by masking his identity, he makes Dimmesdale wonder why he would want to do this to him.
John’s defective relationship with his father caused his distorted perception of love, which provoked John to use magic and self-deception to subconsciously ameliorate his relationship with his father and conceal his unhappiness. On the surface, John’s Father was what some believed to be a “terrific man”, a desired father from John’s friends; however, John did not satisfy the strict credentials of a son that his father desired. His father would belittle his inherent qualities with slanderous comments like “jiggling John” and “blubby little pansy”. John fell into a world of unhappiness and used methods of magic and deception to create a “fantasy of utopian reality”. John used mirrors and illusion to gain “sovereignty over the world” as “in the mirror, everything was possible, even happiness”.
