PAD 515 Week 3 Discussion Carver is missing some very basic values and attitudes. He is missing being considerate, respectful, fair, cooperativeness. The changes that Carver needs to make are numerous. The changes will be difficult for him to sustain, as they are not his “style”, but change can be achieved, as with anything, if he works on his values and attitudes. It will more than likely take his subordinates and co-workers even longer to trust that he has changed and that he will adhere to his new found values and attitudes.
Sweeney's observation that Gregor fails to maintain critical social relationships which advanced his transformed state helps to clarify how Gregor's predicament was exacerbated by the loss of status within his own family. Sweeney maintains that Gregor's “decreasing contacts with his family have eroded his sense of being a person. (149)” This observation along with the concept that Gregor rationalizes as a cognitive human yet reacts instinctively as a bug provides clarity and allows readers to better understand how the narrator constructs the story. Throughout Kafka's novel it is difficult as a reader to understand exactly how Gregor has transformed because he seems to still be able to rationalize and reason like a human. Sweeney points out that in the first section of the novel the narrator says, “if Gregor had only been able to speak to his sister and thank her for everything she had to do for him, he could have accepted her services more easily; as it was they caused him pain.
People will often ask what makes a good or long lasting relationship. In truth there is no one answer, what works for some will not work for others, it’s about finding the balance that suits the both people. At the beginning of a new relationship, the excitement of being in that relationship helps us to not see the things the other person does which may cause annoyance. At this stage in the relationship both parties find themselves faced with everyday realities which means they have to work at the relationship to find and maintain a balance. When couples are faced with life changing events or illnesses the balance changes quickly and they will find themselves in the difficult position of facing their own feelings and fears while trying to support each other.

Changes, after conflict, are often seen to have a negative effect on the individual, but in some cases the endurance of the conflict can bring on a change for the positive. A transformation in the individual after encountering dissonance can forever shape their relationships with other people. Morals and beliefs can be altered through encountering altered, where the individual is forced to reflect upon their own thoughts. Survivors of conflict are never the same again.
The employees enjoy their work and are aware of the set goal. Although, there is a set goal they are given room for creativity and input. This allows them to make decisions and feel competent of the work that is accomplished.

The additional material provided will be “American History X” by Tony Kaye. “Feliks Skrzynecki” is a “paene” celebrating and also mourning the life of Peter’s father, Feliks.
It is seen that beginning from his childhood, all Gogol ever wanted was to find a place where he could truly fit in, whether it be in his own culture, or in the American one in which he lives. Through his relationships he explores his identity, both personal and cultural. By slowly learning about himself and by accepting who he truly is through his life experiences, we see Gogol’s sense of self, family, and relationships shift throughout the novel. The author of The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri, is also someone who can relate to being born into two different cultures. Her parents immigrated to the United States from Calcutta, India and she was born in London, England in 1967.
The goal of this essay is to bring to light the identity construction and development of both Helena and Sven through the theoretical micro, meso, and macro dimensions of discrimination and stratification entrenched throughout their youth experiences. Social stratification refers “to how individuals and groups are layered or ranked in society according to how many valued resources they have.” (Ballantine & Roberts, p.207). Various levels of stratification are embedded throughout Helena’s and Sven’s stories demonstrating how family, community, and identities remain key factors in the youth transition period. Sven and Helena develop their identity into adulthood while facing unstable social and economic times. First, it is important to explore each story in the micro-level analysis of stratification, prestige and influence.
This person is surely confused, or losing the sense of self. Sense of identity or sense of self, forms gradually as a person grow up. It is the self that makes each individual unique. Both our experiences and social influences from thoughts and actions have a great effect on each person’s behavior, how the person defines or think about his or her self, and whether the person is accepted or rejected in the society. The outcome or the formation of each person’s sense of self depends on how each person interprets the experiences, how the society responds, and the decision of who each person would like to become.
