Even though Craig is Al’s close friend, he should be fired, since as the president of the company, Al should treat every employee fairly. Al just fired an employee who tapped into the company’s computer system. The company culture values are being put to the test. Every employee is keeping an eye out on this event. If Al doesn’t take appropriate actions, employees may loss confidence working for a boss who has no principles.
Dominique lacks motivation and sees it as repression while Gail has an uncontainable amount of impulse and drive. He went from being a gangster of sorts in Hell’s Kitchen to building his own empire, The Banner, from the ground up. Similar to Roark, when Gail wants something, he will not quit until he is satisfied. Perhaps if Mallory had this same resolve he would not struggle with life the way he does in the
Mr Birling is shown to be an arrogant and confident character. With his first line in the extract given he shows a very careless and selfish attitude with the statement 'I discharged her'. Birling gives a cold attitude towards Eva Smith's life and shows that he doesn't care for her, giving himself a more noticeable selfish attitude. Birling decides to not use her name and constantly regards her as 'girl' and the fact he has to think about her time at his business shows that she wasn't important enough to him, and shows that he thinks workers and people below him don't deserve to be called by their names. Birling tries to intimidate Inspector Goole by boasting about his status and the type of people he knows, for example when Birling mentions the engagement between Sheila and Gerald Croft - a name made famous by 'Croft's limited', Birling brings this up to intimate the Inspector as Birling expects his status to buy him away from trouble and put him above the law.
1. How would you define “Frozen Preferences” and what is the impact of this concept on strategy formulation, alternative analysis and recommendation? • Managers don’t like to make major strategic changes once decisions have been made (except in the case of overwhelming evidence) as they will look unprepared and ineffective and their creditability is damaged • Frozen preferences o Management has made a decision and over time analysis shows that their decision may not be the best choice o However they feel compelled to maintain their current strategy even if it is not the best course of action. • As management preferences becomes a larger part of the organization (personnel changes, budgets etc), it becomes more and more difficult to change direction. o A tendency to avoid reversing changes even if it was not the best choice o In reality, past expenditures are sunk costs and the organization should use a clean slate to look at new choices, but to the manager, this will come at great personal loss.
This shows that Rick really does not care about any of the politics happening and he just wants to go about his own business. The attitude Rick expresses at the beginning of the film is the same attitude most Americans had in regards to the war. It seems that Rick has allowed himself to become cynical because he feels that his earlier engagement with Ilsa, fighting against fascism in Spain, was a fool's game. He feels used and bitter, and he is convinced that he has been betrayed when he really was not. Although Rick starts out as a very selfish man who could care less about the politics going on in the world around him, he gradually changes throughout the film to become the unselfish man we see at the end of
The root of Creon’s immoral behavior, towards Antigone, is not an inability to distinguish between what is wrong and what is right, but rather a fear of what would happen if he were to choose the morally right way to function. In the play, Creon says that he is very afraid to stray from the established laws in anyway, until the very day he dies (Sophocles 1495). Creon is a power-hungry leader. He is developing into a tyrant. Creon is compared to “a politician without the capacity to be a statesman, because he cannot resist the temptations of power” (Winnington-Ingram).
The loved jock is someone who likes to fight first and ask questions later because after the rise of romanticism, you were a coward if you did not fight (Nugent 34-35). The nerd however cannot fight, which forces them to think of alternative solutions to their problems; and “contemplativeness and powerlessness can easily be linked” (Jones 44). Because thinking and logical problem solving is a common trait of the nerd, they are also characterized as someone who is academically able. They are pictured as someone who is pictured as that cold, unemotional machine that I mentioned earlier. Society fails to realize that everyone can be emotional but not everyone can be smart.
Moral: Envy and greed lead to Jack’s devolution. Jack envies Ralph’s power and he wants that power and control over the boys (greed). To an extent, Ralph represents the good/civilization in people, while Jack represents the bad/savagery. Whenever Jack and Ralph are arguing, it shows how the bad and the good of a person are always fighting, always wanting to come out victorious. When Jack gains the support of the boys, this shows that everyone has evil inside of them, but it's usually held back unless something triggers it to come out.
In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet’s father is a controlling, brutal and selfish person. Despite his concern about her happiness, he forces her to agree to the important decisions he makes for her, without considering her opinion. For example, when Juliet refuses Capulet’s decision for her to marry Paris, he responds very cruelly. He starts talking to her in a very harsh way, calling her names like “disobedient wretch,” “baggage,” and “hilding” (lll, v, 160-169). He also mentions that he feels like hitting her.
So why fit when you can be your person with different likes be yourself, be unique. Three reasons why it’s bad to be a conformist because how are you gonna be your own man if you are always trying to be what people want to see. Plus you aren’t gonna have much creativity like others. Also how are you gonna be a leader if you're trying to be like everybody else. So a person named CoolMan was a conformist a had all of these traits and would always come up with new ideas for his group but they never listened to him because it wasn't “cool”.
