Either to convince them to do something, to believe something, or to convince them of the bullshitter’s competency or knowledgeability. People may BS without intending to mislead anyone. Frankfurt asserts that bullshit is so common in the world because people are convinced that they must have an opinion about more or less anything and everything and so they speak about things that they really do not know anything about. “The lack of any significant connection between a person’s opinions and his apprehension of reality will be even more severe, needless to say, for someone who believes it his responsibility, as a conscientious moral agent, to evaluate events and conditions in all parts of the world.” (On Bullshit ) This is especially common in politics. No one person can be up to date on all current events, and yet people, especially politicians and others in positions of power, are expected to have an opinion on all of their country’s goings-on.
I believe that anyone who is in a leadership role should understand that they will be scrutinized more closely than those who are not. Because of this, I believe that a leader should be more cautious and reserved in their public and personal lives. Yes, they are human, but they are setting an example for others to follow. If a person cannot demonstrate self-control on a personal level, how are we to trust that they will exercise self-control on a professional level? What does this do to the trust that has been built between leaders and followers?
Furthermore, we can exercise substantial control over how we do or don’t express our feelings and to whom we express them. Taking personal responsibility for when, how, and to whom you express feelings is a cornerstone of ethical interpersonal communication (Anderson & Guerrero, 1998; Fridlund, 1994; Philippot & Feldman, 20 Another reason we often choose not to express feelings is that we fear we could hurt or upset others. Sometimes we make an ethical choice not to express emotions that would hurt another person without achieving any positive outcome. Choosing not to express in some situations or to some people can be constructive and generous. Identify and explain at least two examples of irrational beliefs that Bryce holds.
While fringe members were more inclined to recognize that they had made fools of themselves and to put it down to experience, committed members were more likely to re-interpret the evidence to show that they were right all along. When someone is forced to do something they really don't want to do, dissonance is created between their cognition and their behavior. Forced compliance occurs when an individual performs an action that is inconsistent with his or her beliefs. The behavior can't be changed, since it is already in the past, so dissonance will need to be reduced by re-evaluating their attitude to what they have done. This prediction has been tested
E.g. Power may use authority to gain control and respect. I do not agree with this statement. While some obey authority out of respect, people often obey it out of fear as well. The repercussions of disobeying authority are certainly as harsh and strict as are those of disobeying power.
Failure to this, leads to harsh penalties and measures towards the main characters, John Proctor and Tessie Hutchinson. In Miller’s The Crucible, injustice is caused mainly because of societies failure to question their superstitious
The society breeds ignorance of the physical change of a “true image” that is not subsequently developed, influences the fear of deviations. Firstly, Joseph Strorm is very strict and examines differences in appearances thoroughly to send people to suffer in the fringes afterwards. Joesph was struck when David stated
In Stanley Milgram’s experiments, people torn between obeying an experimenter and responding to another’s pleas to stop the shocks usually chose to obey orders, even though obedience supposedly meant harming the other person. People were most likely to obey when the person giving orders was nearby and was perceived as a legitimate authority figure; when the person giving orders was supported by a prestigious institution; when the victim was depersonalized or at a distance; and when no other person modeled defiance by
Leaders who use these powers must understand they come with strengths as well as weaknesses, for example in my opinion those leaders who use coercive power to influence by fear don’t really earn their subordinates and peers respect and true loyalty and sooner or later will fail. Leaders who are subject matter expert frequently inspire the respect, trust and loyalty of subordinates, peers and superior alike. Rewarding power could be both bad and good as it rewards deserving people and sometimes will reward the not so deserving ones creating conflict in the organization. Charisma power might lead those who like the leader, but the leader may not be knowledgeable or skill enough to make the right decisions and finally referent power could empower those with the resources and personal traits but once the resources run out, the leader may not be
The difference is that compliance is when someone conforms out loud with the views or behaviour but secretly disagrees. In this situation their personal views on the subject do not change. An example of compliance is not stating your own opinion on a subject, because the majority has stated a different opinion leading you to agree with them. Whereas in internalisation, a person is so persuaded by the argument that their opinions begin to change both publically and privately. People internalise the views of others when they are persuaded/convinced the arguments make sense.
