Based on what you have learned in this chapter, suggest two ways she might more effectively seek Ken’s forgiveness. Jan attempt to get Ken to forgive her is full of defensiveness and self interest. Jan could more effectively seek and obtain Ken’s forgiveness by acknowledging ken’s point of view. Jan would be more effective in seeking ken’s forgiveness if she did not seem to be so defensive, and she tried to see the situation from his perspective. Jan also needs to demonstrate that she has a desire to restore the well-being of their friendship.
Having experience in a similar role is also more important when recruiting rather than when retaining because once you have employed staff they will become experienced in that role, whereas when you are recruiting it is a new start which could be more difficult to settle in and do the job efficiently. Another employability skill is effectiveness in meeting personal and team targets. This would be more effective for retention than recruitment because when you recruit someone you will find out how well they meet targets whereas when you are choosing who to keep, you will be able to compare the staffs that meet targets better. Giving and accepting criticism is more important than motivating and supporting your co-workers. This is because once you are able to take and give constructive criticism, then you will be able to support them, and if you cant give them feedback it will be impossible to be a supportive co-worker.
I found from this article that Miner was hoping to have us see that Americans have many cultural beliefs or practices that really are ridiculous when viewed from somebody else. Horace Miner presents in his article, Body Ritual among the Nacirema, that society is so stuck in their ways of living and forget about the way they used to live without the ‘materialistic’ ways of life. He is trying to portray that society has changed so much over the years and has made such a negative effect on this world, and that we need to learn what really matters and what a positive culture is. “A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.” (Gandhi, M. (n.d.)). People in our world come from all different cultures that we may not always be familiar with.
Josie realises that her heritage is a part of who she is, “I know now that what’s important is who I feel I am”. Marchetta utilises first person narrative so that we empathise with Josie’s character and appreciate that what was first an obstacle has now become an essential part of her identity. Both Josie and Peter find it difficult to feel accepted and this causes both individuals to question where they belong. Despite trying to ignore the significance of their culture they both realise that if they don’t confront this barrier they will never entirely belong. It is evident that beyond their hesitancy they yearn to understand themselves better and thus have a clearer perception of where they
Edward makes a good impression and even falls in love with Peg's high school daughter Kim, but after a robbery with a framed Edward as the culprit, things in his life begin to go downhill. David and Edward have similar qualities in their personalities; in the way they address their challenges and social life. Through their curiosity to learn and understand they cope with the challenges in which they face. Each text shows different challenges, different ways to cope with their challenges but both bring the character to discover truth, and become wiser, stronger people. The texts uses different techniques to show emotion and the difficulty in faces these challenges, but each teach the same lesson of getting through their challenges, to go on with life, and learn from past
Department of Education that show that girls outshine boys in reading, writing, science, math, and have a lot higher educational aspirations. She also gives us data that shows that girls are starting to beat boys in enrolling in college, and that girls are more engaged in academically then boys. She implies that all of this has been happening because the educational doesn’t “favor” boys over girls anymore. I agree with that statement, but I also don’t think that the educational should let boys be “left behind” either. Yes, boys are bad at school; I can say this because I’m a boy and I see everything first hand, my peers are less and less interested in school and college, they often talk about just either dropping out of high school and getting a job, graduating and just work and not go to college or simply join the military.
This personal superiority gives us a drive to be better than others and encourages us to strive for success. Equally important in the Triple Package is insecurity. While insecurity can act
According to Bandura, “seeing people similar to oneself succeed by sustained effort raises observers beliefs they too possess the capabilities master comparable activities to succeed” (Bandura, 1994). Bandura asserts people could be persuaded to believe they have the skills and capabilities to succeed and getting verbal encouragement from others helps people overcome self-doubt and focus on giving their best effort to the task at hand. Our own responses and emotional reactions to situations also play an important role in self-efficacy. Moods, emotional states, physical reactions, and stress levels can all impact how a person feels about their personal abilities in a particular situation. For example, a person who becomes extremely nervous before speaking in public may develop a weak sense of self-efficacy in these situations.
Our perspectives largely depend upon our occupation, where we live, and our personal experiences with other cultures. If you live on the border in Arizona or Texas, your vision of immigration is likely quite different from people who may live in parts of the U.S far from the border. By not being directly involved with the agriculture production immigrants may be seen as unwanted but a growing segment of the community, a segment that is immediately suspect because the common language may not be English. In this case it is very easily to have media coverage on the negative aspects of immigration and how “those people” are destroying our nation, stealing the U.S jobs, and costing U.S citizens millions of dollars in social services. As the case with most issues, a narrow perspective generally fails to explain the complete and truthful picture of
For the time being, however, she attended an academically challenging high school, at least until a move to a new neighborhood meant attendance at a highly class-conscious school. As she grew older, Nguyen became more apathetic and less self-conscious. Nevertheless, she recalls the discrimination she and other immigrant students commonly experienced, and she suspects that immigrant students even today often feel as alienated as she
