Alan had extremely negative self-talk regarding his performance at work which lead to a very negative atmosphere with his employees. He feels “inadequate” and his employees tend to resent him after the performance interviews. I think that by thinking these negative thoughts they exude into his actions and behaviors. I think his inability to listen is best described by Wood as “Preoccupation” (2013, pg. 150).
Mike has presented himself as unreasonable and was acting very foolish which allow him to lack of focus. During the forming stage, Mike chose to joke around about meeting before class, he’s ways constantly late to class, he presents so many excuses and when the group meets up, on informal bases, he was offended that he’s left out. Part II: Problem Identification The primary issue is they lack of communication. Christine is a bit scared and frustrated that her team member Mike is slacking on the assignment but she has not verbalized her concern with the group. Instead she is taking his drafts and notes and putting it together with the rest of the groups work.
The interesting aspect about the man who yells a lot and has issues with his son is he has the stress factor that Janis talks about in her article. He had a falling out with his son and described it to us early in the film. At the very end, it becomes very clear that he was not looking at the facts but simply had a grudge on the defendant because of his
The following problems are the considerable of him. i) He adheres to his own belief and he would easily criticize or argue with others – this embarrasses the teachers and disturbs the lessons all the time as he would start arguing with the teachers or the classmates during the lessons when others are holding different thoughts/ideas. ii) He would stand extremely close to the people – it makes teachers and students feel very uncomfortable (especially females). iii) He exhibits poor ability to initiate conversations and does not understand jokes – this frustrates him and makes him very angry /emotional; and starts episodes of provoking other people. iv) His interest in electronic equipments and vehicles limit his conversion, like routes and model of buses and MTR in Hong Kong – it made his classmates and teachers in primary school had a poor impression of him, thought he is stubborn, annoying impolite, troublesome and uncooperative; but he does not learn from it; and keeps doing this to his ‘new friends’ in the secondary school.
Christopher changes into a stronger person mentally throughout the book. He is first represented as a boy with Asperger Syndrome, who is very blunt and does not understand the rules of socialism. He reacts quickly to situations he doesn’t understand or like by folding himself up into a ball and groaning, he also hates skin-ship with others as it makes him feel uneasy. “If a strange man touched me I would hit him, and I can hit people very hard.” As the book progresses Christopher finds himself in unfamiliar situations that make him have to face his issues, such as talking to strangers on his way to London, and allowing to be touched by his mother (even though he did not like it too much.) His sentences are always blunt and factual, there are never long describing words as Christopher thinks that it is far more logical to just say what you want to say without putting fancy adjectives in there.
Even later on in the movie, we also see that Will is a chain smoker, violent, and has extreme trust issues. He doesn’t have any friends besides the ones he knows are loyal, and he pushes others away before they have a chance to leave him first. After a good amount of therapy sessions with a psychiatrist and friend, Sean Macdonald, by the end of the movie Will’s problem seem to be a lot more under-control than they were before. Will’s problems could have been evaluated in multiple different psychological ways, including psychoanalytic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and biopsychosocial. Psychoanalytic psychology would be the best explanation for Will and his actions / words.
Monday 27th January 2014 How does Priestly build up tension towards the end of act two? * Priestly creates tension using well timed entrances and exits from each character. Priestly creates tension when Gerald exits the stage directions ‘they watch him go in silence’ create tension because as Gerald exists the silence will create a long pause so during this pause an awkward atmosphere will be created causing the tension of the scene to increase. When Mr Birling re-enters the room ‘looking rather agitated’ This creates tension because he comes into the scene just as the inspector is about to interrogate Mrs Birling so the room will already be quite tense and then Mr Birling comes in to deliver the bad news that Eric has left making the atmosphere even more intense. The most dramatic entrance of the play is at the end of Act Two when ‘Eric enters.
However, one of the salesperson-Jack Olsen, gets into a conflict situation with Bill Sawyers, Eastern Regional Manager for Consolidated and this has led to a channel conflict for H&H. In particular, Consolidated manager has two complaints against Jack Olsen: * Jack does not complete his activity report, and has a laid back approach * At the sales meeting at Consolidated Computer Components Jack disagreed with Sawyers regarding the products sales policy, in front of the entire executive staff and Sawyers felt humiliated at this These, specially the second point, in line of the fact that Consolidated is a big client of H&H, has led Bill to demand the dismissal of Jack Olsen from the payroll of H&H. While H&H was aware of the culture prevalent at Consolidated and their intolerance for any objections, the sales people should be clearly communicated the mandates which the company wants to follow. Does it want to give clear objective suggestions which are for the client’s benefit and not afraid to speak them out, or do they want to simply appease the client. Also, the fact that
When the Inspector is there, Birling is very fast to drop the blame on someone else, insisting "I can't accept any responsibility" which is a complete contrast of what the Inspector says, telling the family to "share the blame among yourselves when I have left" This constant conflict, which is often at the heart of the dramatic genre itself, makes sure there is tension whenever the two characters are talking to each other. This conflict is not the only one within the play. Eric also takes the side of the Inspector, causing tension between him and his father after the Inspector has left, this side is also taken by Sheila, causing a "split" in the family, which can be seen by "I suppose we're all nice people now."
Due to his background teachers regarded him as a hopeless cause because his difficulty in using Received Pronunciation which contrasts against Harrison's attitude towards language and that there is a variety of dialect within the English language which everyone uses to convey a conversation with one another. When Harrison was young he was overawed by his "posh" teacher who embarrassed him resulting in him feeling demeaned and docile. The first section is in the form of a memory emphasised through the embedded dialogue of the teacher showing how he is undermined as the teacher wants to make sure their "glorious heritage" is not "done to death" suggesting that teacher is aiming to undermine Harrison by discouraging him from reading the important roles. Similarly, in "Bringing Up", he emphasises his separation from his mother as she disgusted over him using taboo language. The use of embedded dialogue implies the different view on the Leeds accent emphasised in his mother being disgusted with him and believes he was not "brought up to write such mucky books!"
