Coercive Power that was discussed by French and Raven strongly sticks out in this case. Coercive Power depends on fear. The person with coercive power has the ability to inflict punishment or aversive consequences on another person. The Honor Code and the individuals that sit on the board have this type of power over the cadets. Since coercive power is more of a concept, but fits well within this case, the theory that works along with the power concept is the social exchange theory.
It took a counseling session that I learned that Sergeant First Class Crutchfield was serious about America’s sons and daughters. I told him that I was not able to do the job, and he needed to find someone else to lead these Soldiers. As he looked at me, he had all the Soldiers gather outside-in formation. I looked at all of them standing there, and he said, “So you don’t want the job to take care of America Soldiers. Now you tell them that to their face that you quit.

When battle breaks out, Himmelstoss pretends to be hurt and hides in order to get out of fighting. He acts as a big, mean, and forceful guy until he feels the same fear and terror as the rest of the soldiers in the trenches do. Himmelstoss spoke about being courageous and how nothing scares him, but once he had to experience war for himself he realized it is not that easy to be
These men need to stand up for themselves and stand up to those men behind desks who carelessly kill men for their own selfish needs. Through out the book Johnny explains that war should be the soldiers choice, not the choice of the men behind desks; that everyone deserves to know how they can end up, and how they can speak for themselves. He describes how those men could never possibly imagine what goes on on the battlefield, and that they don't deserve the right to send these innocent Americans to war. This book was clearly anti-drafting, and at the most anti-war; Johnny would have told every man about his experience if he could because he, and the author believe that to not give someone the right to make their own decisions is against their natural rights, and a law that practically forces them to their death beds is
The soldiers live and fight in terrible conditions. This environment begins a cycle that causes the soldiers to despise the Iraqis. They are under constant fear of being attacked or blown up.

Selfperception affects an individual’s self-efficacy skills, therefore affecting how an individual will communicate their experiences. While self-perception is an important trait to take into consideration when dealing with self-reporting, it does however, as mentioned, affect the validity of the results due to individuals underreporting and over reporting their actions. Comparisons of Limitations All three articles discussed the limitation of self-reporting, more so in Article 1. While self-reporting is indeed a valuable asset, self-reporting at times is affected due to individuals underreporting their behavior, as well as over reporting it (Hauge et al., 2009). Underreporting occurs due to individuals being dishonest regarding their behavior, therefore causing an error in the research done.
Being on time is one of the most important things I have to do on a daily basis to show respect for my authority. Being tardy in a life or death situation could result in the loss of a fellow U.S. Army Soldier. As an American Soldier I should always be in the good habit of being on time to ensure that such situation never occurs. It is my responsibility to always to ensure that myself and fellow soldiers are in the proper location to ensure that each life is counted for. Lack of being on time can result in many different situation that can cause harm.
The ego balances the desires and needs of both the id and the super ego. The superego is feelings and disapprovals picked up from society. This said Freud is why we feel guilt, the clash of the id and the superego based on expectations of society. Freud's views on Conscience give good evidence for why it is learned because his secular views
Behavior being the objective displays of behavior that we can see and measure from the outside. What cannot be measured from the outside, but is vital to our understanding of human behavior, is the human experience. In the science of persons, behavior is a "function of experience". Alienation from experience is a result of society's attempts to normalize the human experience. Our intentions, feelings, and imaginations are stripped down and mystified to being products of our upbringing, no longer coming from within, but controlled from the outside.
