We need an option, and being optimistic may give us false promises or facades to see one thing and create inability to be resilient with the other available options. Being realistic is also applicable in our relationships. When relating to people, we can always see good things within our friends, yet similar to all things, humans are not perfect. The realistic outlook can help us understand human imperfection and not overestimate the relationship so that it can’t let us as down as not being able to move on at all. There are cases where our loved ones pass away or they are far away from us.
moving from catastrophising (no one will ever like me) to a more rational interpretation (my friend was probably thinking about something else and didn’t see me). This in turn helps the patient to feel better, and eventually become more self-accepting. Another part of RET is unconditional positive regard which is basically making the patient feel valued as a human no matter what they say or do or event how they
Question 1. One way that Cliff could take advantage of principles of operant conditioning to modify his staff behaivor is to give them consequences for bad behavior. Some people need to have consequences so that will not try to get away with bad behavior all of the time. Question 2.The use of punishment didn't work well for Cliff's predecessor because he frequently used it and never reinforced or rewarded good behavior. Reinforcement would remain preferable at controlling behavior because it is a presentation of something that is pleasant and rewarding which will produce a more effective outcome.
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
Are doctors lie to patients that will help them out? They found that patients don't know the truth or “keep in the dark”. They “feel betrayed.” (337) However, the partient knows the “truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness: helps them tolerate pain better, need less medication, and even recover faster after surgery.”(337) I suggest that partients know their conditions immediately. If partient’s situation is terminal means almost the end of life. That will help them spend their remaining time carefully, and they don’t have doubts during the rest of the life.
This gives him confidence and allows him to be able to work on the problem without feeling ashamed. Another reason why friendly arguments are good occasionally is that it allows us room to freely express ourselves. If you do not take time to freely express yourself you could get lost in what someone else wants you to be or how someone else wants you to think. You have to determine your self worth from time to time which isn’t always easy. This is where the arguments may kick in but in the end you will be more appreciated for being you and you in turn will be better understood.
DaiQuest Casiano Phi206 Professor Zacharias 10/24/14 Nozick’s Characterization of the “We” I agree with Nozick’s beliefs about ‘we’ and what it really stands for. He stated that when you and another person become united they do not have to be together all the time and can feel differently about things. “We” to Nozick is when you and that person feel the same way about each other and you want good and only good for your significant other. When something bad happens to them, you also feel that pain. Also when something good happens to them, you enjoy that pleasure as well.
In the city of Omelas the people know what’s is the righteous thing to do but fear if they do what is right it will lead to the destruction of the city of Omelas. In this quotation the people of Omelas chose to do what it takes to maintain their utopia: “some of them understand why, and some do not, but they all understand that their happiness, the beauty of the city, the tenderness of their friendship, the health of their friendship, the health of their children, the wisdom of their scholars, the skill of their makers, even the abundance of their harvest and the kindly weathers of their skies, depend wholly on the child’s abominable misery”(Le Guins 733). The questions that must be answered are what are the ethics around the city of Omelas, what is the towns understanding of the child who lives in a basement under one of the towns spectacular buildings and ultimately why should one walk away from the city of Omelas. What are the ethics that surround the town of Omelas? Well to begin with in my online source it states that: “these people have come to an understanding of what is destructive, and what is both or neither” (Dauer, Susan, Jaye).The people of Omelas have poor ethics since they believe there town’s joy is brought by the torture of a child and
Today the term friendship is thrown around in a more nonchalant manner verses how it was perceived in earlier times. Being someone’s friend was not something that was given freely. In the Renaissance, for instance, Montaigne wrote, “for to undertake to wound and offend a man for his own good is to have a healthy love for him.” This meant that to correct or constructively criticize a friend was in good favor because the friend was looking out for his or her best interest. Today the act of criticizing a friend can result in a loss of that friendship. Montaigne also wrote, “those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship”.
Our team members who were always in conflict in the dissatisfaction stage started to feel good about being a part of the team and focused more in the enjoyment of cohesion rather than effectively infusing their unity and energy into the task at hand. Though the desertion of the task was for a brief period, it costed hugely on the firm. Conflict avoidance: In this stage, Bonebright (2010) observes that “Task conflicts are avoided in an effort to insure harmony” (p. 114). In order to have a common agreement and avoid conflict, our team members started to develop a tendency to agree and not forthcoming with sharing new ideas. “The reluctance to deal with conflict can slow progress and lead to less effective
