...a Daly Reflection #2 Albeit long, the VIA Survey of Character Strengths was quite interesting. I had done several kinds of strength finders or personality tests and tried to not steer my answers in any direction. My top 5 strengths were kindness, fairness, leadership, caution, and forgiveness. Kindness, fairness and forgiveness weren’t very surprising to me. I love live a life working for a bigger cause than myself and to show everyone the respect they deserve. I was surprised the most was leadership. Not that I do not see myself as a leader, because I think anyone has the capabilities of leadership but in all my previous strength finders or even Myers-Brigg my results never strike people as leader. This was a pleasant surprise the reassured...

...Character Strengths and Well-Being Analysis As children, we rely on our parents and those closest to us to teach us how to live. They are the ones that directly influence our morals, values, character, etc. Once we get older, outside influences like school, media, and our peers start to affect us as well. The character strengths we possess are also included in this. These types of strengths are taught to us through practice over time as we grow up. Jane Gillham discusses how we are influenced by our families, community, media, etc. in her study on whether or not one’s character strengths affect our subjective well-being. She defines this type of well-being as “the cognitive and emotional evaluations of our lives”. (Gillham) Her studies have shown that character strengths have been previously found to relate inversely with behavior issues like depression and suicide. In her most recent study, she focuses on whether or not character strengths like honesty and happiness and whether or not our strengths say anything about our overall well-being. However, in this particular study, I think there are far too many factors to actually correlate information between the two as anything more than coincidence. One’s character strengths could potentially correlate with overall well-being, as long as one knows how to use these character strengths and embraces them. “The strengths that are most connected to well-being are well factored by mood.” -(Gillham) Some of the key strengths tested...

...Felicia Marshall PSYC4110 Journal Submission 2 Capella University August, 2015 Description – Section 4 #1 (Compassionate Love Scale) I feel the assessment gave me adequate and accurate information on my tendency to compassionate. It asked me very personal questions to make me look deep within myself to ask myself if I really feel a certain kind of way about people. I did not find anything surprising with the assessment. It actually affirmed what I thought I felt about people. I wasn’t looking for any magical answer or scoring that’s too out of the way. It was meaningful to me in the sense that I was able to continue to be honest about my answers, and in the end I was able to come up with the result that I expected. This activity was not uncomfortable for me to complete, because I love assessments that truly ask the deep questions to challenge me. I respect the answers, because they are very true, and if there is something I need to change, then I can do so. I learned that my reality is real. I used to have a different feeling about compassion and mankind when I was younger, because in my eyes man could not do any wrong. I honestly feel differently towards strangers today, as the world is not what it was when I was a child. I find that I still have compassion there, however it has been altered over the past decade of my life. I can take my results and evaluate how I treat people with compassion. I am usually able to sympathize/empathize...

That being said some sites or systems are still allowing users to create passwords such as “123456”, “password”, and “12345678” according to SplashData’s annual worst password list (SplashData, 2014). The advances in software setup and checking should prevent a user from ever creating a password so simple. The issues stem from a couple of problems. One is not educating users more on the concept of complex password creation. Two not all administrators of systems...

...practise is a relatively new phenomenon which encourages an individual to realise and ultimately develop their personal strengths and attributes. Although it is a new practice, psychologists as a whole are yet to determine an exact definition of the meaning coaching psychology. However one of the most applicable definitions to this subject matter is “Coaching maybe defined as a goal - directed multifaceted process for enhancing people, work and life and, as an industry, it has and still is experiencing rapid growth” (Brock, 2006). This essay will examine coaching psychology and how its research will benefit the development of executive coaching and how previous research can enhance this particular sector in psychology. Some of the main areas that will be explored are how positive psychological research has informed this particular area as a whole, the relationship between a coach and client, what qualities make for a good coach and how future research can improve our knowledge and the practice of executive coaching. Positive psychology despite, being considered an applied science it is an empirical science by virtue of scientific method and research. Positive psychology is imperative to the practice of executive coaching as it concentrates on utilising an executives/managers ability to improve an “individuals traits which manifest themselves as character strengths and talents” (Peterson 2006). Both positive psychology and coaching psychology are concerned with how one can improve...

...awareness and brand image, which are the drivers for brand knowledge. Brand awareness' two attributes -brand recognition and brand recall performance - are also going to be discussed by the perspective of 5 brands in this paper. Automobile Tire Category - Michelin Michelin has the second market share in Turkey in the automobile tire category after Brisa. Michelin uses its brand elements effectively. By using the slogan "A better way forward" and consistently featuring its character, Bibendum the Michelin man, Michelin succeeds getting known as one of the highest quality tires. Bibendum could also be seen in its navy logo, where navy stands for trust, control and success. As a comparison based on the brand elements to its biggest rivals, Bridgestone and Lassa, although Michelin's slogan emphasizes better quality, both Bridgestone and Lassa focus on safety. Another point is that neither Bridgestone nor Lassa have a character, and they tend to use black and red as the color of their logos, which represent strength and energy. Building brand equity means succeeding at being memorable, meaningful, and likeable. Michelin has achieved being memorable, meaningful, and likeable at the same time by creating Bibendum and making him a hero in challenging weather conditions. It becomes easier to recognize end recall the brand by the help of Bibendum. Although...

...The Image Of Leadership[1] In my opinion, this picture really describes leadership. This image represents a group of people holding puzzle pieces in order to complete the puzzle together. Indeed, the first thing is that leadership is all about bringing an output together. When you are a leader you lead people to a specific goal. In this picture, the output is the image the puzzle must represent. Indeed, in the business world it means that you need to reach the objectives. The role of the leader is to make sure the team achieves its objectives. In some case, the leader can also be the one who is setting the objectives up. In those cases, the leader has to know the capacity of his team and how he can stretch his team capacity. But all is about achieving objectives. The role of the leader in order to reach this goal is to coordinate and take the best part of each member of his team in order to achieve the objectives. In this image, the leader is the one who decided where to put the puzzle pieces and how to do it and use the skills and abilities of each team member to complete the puzzle. In the business world, you need to bring the best of each of your team member. Indeed, in combining the different skills and personalities of each of the team member, we are able to be more performant than if we were just adding our individual work. The role of the leader is to detect and gather people that can efficiently work together, to create an atmosphere that enhances...

...take one of either direction. The narrative is then broken down into a series of vignettes which tell the story of the favela and the central characters, and ultimately which path Rocket decides to take. I argue that this film was imperative in raising awareness of both the existence of as well as the issues within the favelas in Rio de Janeiro, and was one of the first cultural representations to emerge from Brazil to show the darker side of the city and an alternate reality to what is commonly perceived about Rio, that is postcard images of beaches, sunsets and samba. Via this cultural vehicle I argue that it was possible to begin to conduct businesses in the city such as 'favela tour' and 'favela party' due to interest from foreigners in seeing and experiencing a slice of life in the favelas. Which raises the question: Did this film glorify life in the favelas, or did it depict a realistic perspective of reality? How has consciousness raising of the foreign public since affected the inhabitants of these urban spaces and has this effect been positive or negative? I argue that one of the key strengths of the film is realism. The actors are amateurs recruited from the favelas, and the central character Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) is from the Cidade de Deus favela itself, which lends authenticity and personal perspective to the characters. The film was shot inside a real favela rather than a film set, taking the viewer directly into the urban space of favela inhabitants. ...

Their decision on using a two-tiered system to make a final decision on the selection of personnel was a strength because it allowed them to filter candidates better. The first tier consisted of viewing the applicants’ documents, a telephone conference in an unstructured manner with the applicants, and obtaining three references from former employers. These three modules were related to background research of the applicant. The Second Tier included a panel interview, a biography oriented in-depth interview, a simulated group exercise, and testing. They used the 6-eye method to view the application documents for each candidate. This method involved the use of a 3 person team evaluating the applicants’ documentation. This gave the company a broad perspective on each candidate. This also allowed them to screen out candidates that were obvious mismatches in relation to the job. This was followed by interviewing the candidates via telephone with the attendees being the candidate and a two person team that consisted the Supervisor at the APAC site and one person from the German headquarters. The purpose of this was to verify the candidate’s suitability for the position, his/her motivation for the position, and to gain an overall impression of the candidate. If a consensus was reached that the candidate...

This system is also going to be closed in Australia until end of 2000 as the government states that analogue signal make the frequency too crowded. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) It is a digital system that converts from our voice to digital (pulse) and transmits it to air for mobile communication. The strength of this system is it is more secure than analogue system. On the other hand, the weakness is the signal is not as strong as analogue system. CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) It uses a digital systems but it is not pulsed as GSM did. The strength of this system is it has the best signal receiver, and it is secure communication. However, it is just being introduced in Australia and the rest of the world. Network Provider in Australia Optus Optus stated that they have 93% population coverage, which means, the capacity of the network that Optus can carry is up to 93 % of total population.
