The "jigsaw classroom" called for students to share materials and put their grades at risk if they didn't cooperate. Self-esteem and academic performance increased as prejudice levels decreased.

It shows that the introverted individual come up with a plan before acting, needing time to think things through. Employers have found personality testing to be a great tool in determining whether or not an individual have what it takes to be successful on the job with interaction and interpersonal communication with others. Even though the pre-employment personality test is a good ideal, it does have the potential to produce problems. One of the problems would occur when a potential candidate tries to cheat the system by answering the question in a way to make the employer feel they are the best one for the job. This type of answering would be using a hypothetical method.

In the context of Marx’s writings, scholars speak of two Marx: the young and the old. While the old Marx was more deterministic with his in-depth study of the workings of capitalism, the young Marx was concerned with alienation, human nature and morality. However, there is disagreement to when Marx's thought began to mature, and the problem of the idea of a "Young Marx" is the problem of tracking the development of Marx's works and of its possible unity. The problem thus centers on Marx's transition from philosophy to economics. This essay will focus on the works of Marx prior to 1846 specifically on the dominant theme of alienation and freedom.
What do economic sanctions achieve? The complexity of this question rests upon the scenario in which the economic sanctions are being imposed upon. One must consider that economic sanctions seem to aim for something in which they also may be causing; I refer to the idea that sanctions are imposed to eradicate unjust procedures. However, within many economic sanctions that are imposed – they create significant humanitarian, political and economic issues. (Gordon, 2006) One must avoid viewing this question bluntly as we must delve into all the elements involved.
Private Vice and Public Virtue Adam Smith used many metaphors to drive the point home that individual interests and pursuits lead to a benefit for society as a whole. This is a sound and convincing argument, which reflects our modern economy in today’s ever changing world. I will examine, as a proponent of Smith’s metaphors with regards to “Private Vice” for the good of “Public Virtue” and explain concisely why Smith’s ideas were considered to be radical in his day and age, yet common sense to us today. A phrase often quoted and alluded to, it conveys the unintentional benefits stemming from individual's pursuit of their own wants and needs, which means; by default the person pursuing perfection privately in one particular skill will benefit society as a whole and create an economy with trade and prosperity. As discussed in class, the butcher, the baker, and the brewer provide goods and services to each other out of self interest; which is the unplanned result of this division of labor, which creates a better standard of living for all three.
Boards of education banter with administrators and oppose the practice of the school system; teachers have been tutored by their professional associations to distrust principals; parents blame teachers and disassociate themselves from the school; students learn to disrespect teachers; superintendents can be fired at a moment’s notice and teachers can strike against the school system at the drop of a hat. Even though these are negative occurrences, they all reflect a common characteristic, which is there has rarely been a personal attack on a single individual. It is group against group. The article uses examples to explain whether that it is team play or institutional achievement, the organization comes first, the individual second. The author hypothesizes that when person-to-person contacts within organizations are rich and fully developed, groups could never get away with such impersonal dealings that go on in the school system.
