...DESCRIPTION Robin Martin-Jones has excelled to obtain her business degree in finance and would love opportunity to work for a small entrepreneurial type of firm, but she is soon given the opportunity to work for a Fortune 500 company. A Fortune 500 company that has a great background and that could further her career in finance. She accepts the offer to the Fortune 500 and continues to advance throughout the company until her career advancements takes a halt after she gets married and has a child. DIAGNOSIS The problem here is not her ability to work hard and excel within the company, it was the lack of knowledge she obtained about family life before working with the company and it’s the lack of help the company gives for families. The reason she is not advancing with the company is because the company seems to frown upon a family life. It is obvious that this Fortune 500 Company does not offer a family benefit plan or that the department in which Robin works for does not do well with those that has a family life. THEORY Struggling work and family can be difficult, whether or not we are the husband or the wife. Each job is as equally important, but it’s how the company helps the situations in order to deal with stress in the workplace. It is up to us as the potential employee to first ask all the right questions regarding the company’s policy and then negotiate what works for us once hired. Once hired, it’s up to both sides of the parties to work together to make...

...One dramatic element that helped my understanding of the play was the characterization that was given. To really understand why the conflict and why they reacted to certain scenes. The audience learns the basic characteristics of the each character very early in the play, which allows a lot of time for character development. The audience gets sense of the type character Douglas, played by Schuyler Scott Mastain, from the very first time we heard him talk. He is very self-involved and self-serving person. We can gather that from the initial conversation in which he doesn’t really converse with any other character or invite them into the conversation. Martin, play by Myles Bullock, interrupts Douglas, unlike the two female characters Martin is not enthralled by the story. The character of Martin is does not appreciate the phony life of the privileged. This along with his reaction to how the price of the apartment the seminar takes place in shows us that he is a struggling writer. Izzy,...

He was pleased with Roberge performance and decided to promote her to the position of marketing research coordinator. Symptoms However, his goodwill does not match with the Roberge’s own personal feeling regarding this promotion. She really enjoyed her present job scope and she regarded her new position as a “backroom” job that applied brakes to her climb up for corporate ladder. Roberge was troubled and kept to herself with all these negative feeling. Neither did she brought it up to Ornath about her feeling nor shared it with the higher management. After all, she concluded that she did not have a good rapport with her boss and never clarify with him too. On receiving the official promotion from Ornath, Roberge looked surprised and Ornath regarded this as a positive response from Roberge. Hence, Roberge did not even show her displeasure in the new position through her body language. Main Causes Roberge’s resentment leads her to ponder on the past career experience. She recall on how her previous employer...

...saturated late-1980s New York City, manifesting in episodes such as the Howard Beach and Central Park Jogger incidents and the Tawana Brawley case. Do the Right Thing invokes Brawley via a graffito that proclaims, “Tawana told the truth!” rioters chant the words “Howard Beach” during the climax. The understanding that the film captured the city’s polarized atmosphere was immediate. One stimulating point I noticed is when we see Mookie (Spike Lee) counting his money, this is actually one of the happiest times of him that we see. This comes up time and time again, when he is working, he insists that Sal pays him his money early, because...

...While generations of scientists have debated whether human aggression and violence is learned or innate, Brain (pp. 9, 1985) most likely summarizes the best and shortest answer to this question by stating that Human violence is too complicated to be interpreted in simple terms”. Empirical data and theories from both sides will be presented in this essay which will illustrate that while humans are genetically equipped to be violent and in some cases even have a genetic predisposition towards violence, social factors play key role in facilitating and enhancing aggressive behavior or suppressing and inhibiting it. Cesar Lombroso in the 20th century claimed that long arms, jutting chins and sloping foreheads were signs of born criminals, while Sigmund Freud (1930) later claimed that the drive to aggress is rooted deep in the psyche, independent of circumstances and as a result people have an innate need to inflict harm which must be satisfied periodically. A similar catharsis view was held by Lorenz (1963) who suggested that aggression being a natural instinct that accumulates over time especially in response to environmental stress, needs to be periodically released much like the periodic orgasm that helps diminish sex drive. In the 1960’s some scientists proposed that men who carried an XYY chromosome pattern were predisposed to become criminals (Ramirez, 1996). These were some of the early views on the innate nature of aggression and violence. Recent studies conducted on rats...

...in cases where individuals do not offer help in an emergency situation when other people are present. The probability of help has in the past been thought to be inversely proportional to the number of bystanders. In other words, the greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is that any one of them will help. In a series of classic studies, researchers Bibb Latane and John Darley found the bystander effect. In one experiment, subjects were placed in one of three treatment conditions: alone in a room, with two other participants or with two confederates who pretended to be normal participants. As the participants sat filling out questionnaires, smoke began to fill the room. When participants were alone, 75% reported the smoke to the experimenters. In contrast, just 38% of participants in a room with two other people reported the smoke. In the final group, the two confederates in the experiment noted the smoke and then ignored it, which resulted in only 10% of the participants reporting the smoke. Another great example of the bystander effect is a study done by Robert Thornberg (2007). In his study, he observed real- life emergency situations in a classroom. In one incident he describes, a group of 5th graders are coming back from their break and putting away their jackets. One student, Chris, is lying on the floor holding his arm and is crying softly. Many of the students see Chris but walk right by him. One student, Robin, asks what happened. Chris tells Robin that...

...every word that comes from their mouths. Think of your childhood idol for a second. When you are a child you are so infatuated by your idols you want to be just like them, do what they do, eat what they eat and wear what they wear. With this kind of influence on thousands of people caution needs to be taken when deciding the brands and messages one can endorse. A case study completed by youth in India provides proof of the influence Sporting Stars can have on our youth. About 14.1% of the children tested admitted to purchase products that appear in ads endorsed by their sporting heroes while 51.6% youngsters say that they make the purchase however, not always. 20.4 % say that they never buy products that appear in ads. Another 13% say that they do not want to comment on this topic. In conclusion the truth is stated discussing “The interesting part is that youth are the targeted consumers of celebrity endorsements. Hence Media privilege celebrity endorsement over unendorsed ads in order to make their product much more popular and valuable in the domestic and international market” (Prakash, J &Shamala R, 2014).

...Police Corruption and court cases are very common and prevalent. A common pleas judge reversed 53 narcotic convictions Friday which is based on investigations of police in drug units (Writer, 2013). Judge Shiela Woods- Skipper overturned convictions that were based on the testimony of former Jefferey Walker who was arrested in May as part of an FBI corruption inevestigatgion (Writer, 2013). The District Attorney in the case Robin Godfrey requested the reversals in the hearing he said afterward that he was very dissappointed to drop cases involving defendants who had pleaded guilty to drug charges (Writer, 2013). Walker was arrested after he was overheard bragging on how easy it was to rob drug dealers. Agents have said that Walker was assigned to the narcotics unit since 1999 and that he plotted with a government informant to rob drug dealers (Writer, 2013). What he wasn’t aware of is that FBI agents had been listening in on what he was doing (Writer, 2013). In one theft Walker planted drugs in a volkswagon Jetta and arrested the suspect (Writer, 2013). Walker and the informant then entered the drug dealer’s house and took $15,000 according to federal charges. Walker’s next federal case was scheduled for November. 20, at Friday’s hearing more than 70 convictions involving Walker had been scheduled for dismissal (Writer, 2013). I think that most of us know about the blue wall of silence that police use to protect themselves, and co-workers. U.S. attorney Howard Klien...
