...Setting: Florence, Italy Date: June 10, 1501 Hello. Today I will be interviewing the following panel of two famous artists from the Renaissance period. First, I will interview Mr. Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi who goes by the name Sandro Botticelli. After Mr. Botticelli, I will interview Mr. Donato di Betto Bardi who goes by the name Donatello. I chose you two as my subjects because both of you are from Florence, Italy, which is the home to the largest collection of Renaissance art and architecture in the world. I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedules to join me. I must say Florence is a beautiful country. I would like to start with you Mr. Botticelli, so let us begin. Cortni: Your works appear to be limited to family and religious figures. What do you believe is your greatest motivation for these types of pieces? Botticelli: “I have very strong family values and come from a nuclear family. Our values are directly tied to our belief system. For me, family is a religious obligation and I feel my works will keep them alive with the hope that others are influenced in the same manner. Of course, I started as a young painter but as matured I became influenced by the religious preacher, Savonarola, and painted works on religious subjects done in a very religious and expressionistic style, for example, my work I call the Magic Nativity. Have you seen it?” Cortni: Yes, I have actually. It is quite the art work, Sandro. Cortni: When did you...

...Psychology Joseph Roberts 3-9-14 Introduction to Psychology Structuralism: Psychology has been around for thousands of years, but only formally studied for around the last 130 years. (Coon, Mitterer 2013) There are many people who have and are currently contributing to the advancement of Psychology. Wilhelm Wundt, 1832-1920, is credited with separating psychology from philosophy and also creating the first experimental laboratory. His laboratory would grow from one room to numerous rooms filled with various experiments and the tools required to carry out these experiments. The accumulation of these things is what led to psychology becoming a separate science to be studied. Wilhelm felt this had been reached in the year 1879. (Hothersall, 1984) Wilhelm’s writings are estimated to take a person two and a half years if that person was reading 60 pages a day. (Schultz, 1975) A student of Wilhelm by the name of Edward Titchener would take Wilhelm’s ideas and label them as structuralism. Structuralism used introspection, or “looking inward”, to answer research questions. This method would soon prove to be a poor way to do research as many people see things in many different ways. (Benjafield, 2010) Functionalism: William James, 1842-1910, would create the term “functionalism”, which would come from James’s interest in how the mind functions to help us adapt to the environment. James created a new field of study as he portrayed functionalism as a completely separate discipline in...

...psychological theory of Freud argues that humans tend to develop their personalities in the early five years of the lives and continue to strengthen it as they grow old. However, people do change with the passage of time (Blatt, McDonald, Sugarman, & Wilber, 1984). The changes in personality occur in response to external environment but these modifications are superficial in nature and therefore, they do not last long and the basic personality will emerge once external forces are removed. The Psychodynamic and Humanistic theories of personality are intertwined and interdependent. The abovementioned frameworks are joined because basic personality development can be influenced by the environment. In simple terms, an apparently bad person can be converted into a good one with the help of offering supportive behaviors. The support groups that render help to addicts, criminals and prisoners are there in order to ascertain likeness towards positive behaviors in people who demonstrated negative attitudes in the past. The philosophy of support group is developed on the basis of a belief that humans respond to their immediate environments and tend to win the legitimacy of their actions from the society. The theory of Humanism is of the view that humans are basically good and they become bad or behave badly because of their external environment and atmosphere. However, every individual is willing to exert his or her energies in order to better the world but the problem lies within the...

...Journal of Management Studies 34:1 January 1997 0022-2380 SOFT AND HARD MODELS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: A REAPPRAISAL* CATHERINE TRUSS Kingston Business School LYNDA GRATION London Business School VERONICA HOPE-HAILEY Crarford School of Management PATRICK MCGOVERN London School of Economics PHIUP STILES London Business School ABSTRACT Two of the most widely adopted models of human resource management are the hard and soft versions. These are based on opposing views of human nature and managerial control strategies. The hard model is based on notions of tight strategic control, and an economic model of man according to Theory X, while the soft model is based on control through commitment and Theory Y. We argue that because these assumptions are so divergent, they cannot both properly be incorporated within a single model of human resource management. Human resource management (HRM) has frequently been described as a concept with two distinct forms: soft and hard. These are diametrically opposed along a number of dimensions, and they have been used by many commentators as devices to categorize approaches to managing people according to developmental- humanist or utilitarian-instrumentalist principles (Legge, 1995b). The terms have gained some currency although, from a theoretical point of view, the underlying conflicts and tensions contained within the models have not been sufficiently explored and, from a practical perspective, available empirical ...

...Women in Psychology Paper Shanda L. Ludwig PSY/310 September 11, 2011 Dr. Matt Pearcey Women in Psychology Paper It was not until the 1890s that women were allowed access to training in most fields of study, including psychology. Since that time many have made significant theoretical contributions to the field of psychology and our understanding of psychodynamic thought including the works of Karen Horney (1885–1952). She was a psychoanalyst best known for her work on neurosis and coping techniques. Horney was a leading figure in the development of a range of non-orthodox psychoanalytic approaches in mid-twentieth-century America. Often compared to orthodox Freudians, she emphasized interpersonal relations and minimized the role ascribed to biology. Horney was particularly critical of Freud's approach to women (Horney 1942). Biography Karen Horney was born in Blankensee, a suburb of Hamburg, Germany. She was the daughter of a sea captain, Berenth Henrick Vackels Danielson, and his second wife, Clotilde von Ronzelen. Although her father spoiled her with trips and gifts, Horney described her father as a harsh and claimed he favored her brother over her. Horney fell in love with her brother at a young age and states the rejection she felt from him caused her to spiral into depression around the age of 9. Due to this rejection, Horney felt that she wasn’t attractive and once stated, “If I couldn't be pretty, I decided I would be smart" (Horney, 1942). It was around...

...The ethical dimension of human resource management Human Resource Management Journal London 2000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors: Diana Winstanley Authors: Jean Woodall Volume: 10 Issue: 2 Pagination: 5-20 ISSN: 09545395 Subject Terms: Studies Human resource management Business ethics Classification Codes: 9175: Western Europe 9140: Statistical data 6100: Human resource planning 2400: Public relations Geographic Names: United Kingdom UK Abstract: The relative absence of debate about ethical issues within the area of human resource management is addressed. IT is argued that ethics is not about taking statements of morality at face value; it is a critical and challenging tool. The discussion starts with what should be familiar terrain: ethical arguments that uphold a managerialist position, such as ethical individualism, utilitarianism, and "Rawlsian" justice. Other theories are then introduced that broaden the field of ethical concern in an endeavor to be more socially inclusive: stakeholding and discourse theory.

...necessitated by a couple of factors which include the Elizabthan Poor Laws, American concerns about poverty, industrialisation, the world wars, social ills, economic growth, colonialism, traditional views and philanthropy to mention but a few. It is the purpose of this essay to show that the emergence of social work was necessitated by social strife. The Elizabethan Poor Laws of 1601 according to J.D. Marshal (), cited the laws were enacted to deal with the problem of urban destitution. The Act of Elizabeth 1601 laid down that each parish was to be responsible for the maintenance of its own poor people. The laws were also enacted on the assumption that the poor were entirely responsible for their situation. Poverty, according to Midgley (1984) was seen as a direct consequence of idleness. In 1834, the Poor Laws were amended through the introduction of the principle of less eligibility which sought to limit the number of people on poor relief by making poor relief unattractive. (The laws led to the establishment of work houses where destitute were housed). The underlying governmental motive was that of providing social stability, alleviating discontent, preventing riots, and dissatisfaction and thus the emergence of social work was indeed necessitated by social strife. More so, the poor laws led to the establishment of work houses where destitutes were housed. According to some school of thought, these people lived terribly and some recognised this and they began to render...

The popularity of HRM rose from US theorists in the 1980’s such as Storey, whose “ideal type” of HRM pinpointed 27 differences (Appendixes 1) between the personnel management role, “essentially an administrative support function…perceived as being remote from business performance issues” (Storey, 2007, cited in Beardwell and Claydon, 2010, p. 21) to encompass, “all management decisions and action that affect the nature of the relationship between the organisation and its employees”.
