...Benefits of Working on a Team One benefit of working on a team is the various amounts of creative thoughts and inspirations of different people. We all have different skills, knowledge and personal attributes. By utilizing all of these different aspects in a team, more ideas can be generated. As more ideas are generated, more creative solutions are generated, leading to better results. One of the most important attributes of working on a team is realizing there can always be something learned from another person. Different people have different skills and possess different perspectives of every activity. Therefore any activity that involves team work would benefit from the various creative thoughts and inspirations of different people. Another benefit of working on a team is varied skills. Even the best qualified individual cannot have all of the skills to do everything. Some people excel at coming up with the ideas. Others love the detail while there are those that focus on the big picture. There are others who can be counted on when it comes to implementing and follow through with a plan. Speed is another benefit of working on a team. When you work on a team you definitely finish tasks faster than if an individual were doing it all alone. The speed is not only because of different hands coming together, but also because of different minds working on the varied aspects of each task.

...Being apart of society means that people are surrounded by their own community and are capable of interacting with each other. If people were not involved in their community there would be no society. Responsibility means being accountable and having control over a persons own life. That also means that if someone makes a mistake they can admit to their own mistake. A socially responsible person is someone that understands basic human rights and knows how important it is to be engaged in their community. Being a socially responsible member of American society means that each individual is able to fulfill their own civic duty and involve themselves in their community, which benefits everyone in society.

...Abstract For the most part, groups or teams work together to achieve a common goal. When deciding on a group, there are things to take into consideration in order to achieve success. First, acknowledge the diversity in group members. Second, identify each individual’s learning and personality styles. Third, discuss strategies to communication and collaboration in order to eliminate conflict. Using a self-assessment tool can assist people in determining their specific style. By communicating in a collaborative manner each person can contribute knowledge and experience to their team. For some people they may use different styles depending on the circumstances given. While people are different, they have strengths and qualities that can be valuable to others. Communication and Collaboration strategy For many years, researchers have studied the different learning and personality styles. This type of research is essential, because it has proven the importance of knowing how people respond and try to understand others. Knowing the specific strategies to use allows people to focus on their strengths and work on improving their weaknesses. Today there are many self-assessment tools that can assist people in determining their specific learning and personality style. Gardner suggests there are eight learning styles: Bodily-Kinesthetic, Verbal-Linguistic, Visual-Spatial, Logical-Mathematical, Musical-Rhythmic, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal and Naturalistic. As for the Personality...

...a learning team or group can sometimes be very beneficial but will also require working with different learning styles and personality types. Everyone will not always come together which will more than likely cause conflict among the team. The team has to be aware that everyone brings a different personality and learning style to the group. Acknowledging this will insure a better working environment and lead to the team’s success. Based on my personal assessment my learning styles are: interpersonal, verbal linguistic and bodily kinesthetic. My personality types are: organizer, adventurer and giver. These characteristics allow me to have a better understanding of my surroundings and be more knowledgeable of people who are different from me. Learning styles help to separate strengths from weaknesses. My first learning style is Interpersonal. An interpersonal person is able to listen to other people’s opinions and view them from another perspective. According to the book, “Interpersonal Skills to Leadership” (Fritz, 2005), I will be a lifelong learner. I prize curiosity. I want to be well informed. My ultimate goal is to learn from my life events so that sometime in my later years I will have great wisdom. As an interpersonal person I enjoy talking with people and helping them, which makes them feel comfortable. People are at ease to discuss conflict with an interpersonal person because they are good at understanding and looking at the situation from both sides...

...The Lies of Meritocracy in America America is seen as the land of opportunity where an individual can go as far as their own merit takes them. The opportunities to be successful are endless and one just has to work hard to achieve them. This is based on the idea of meritocracy where individuals are only measured on the basis of their intellectual contributions, “divorced” identity, social status, gender, race, religion, and other characteristics. But this is only an illusion a so called myth that individuals are brought up to believe. In “Horatio Alger”, Harlon Daltons is able to break down this myth of meritocracy that include how we are judged solely on merits, have a fair opportunity to establish those merits, and how merit will bring success. Ruth Conniff in “Women Losing Ground” is able to support the myth of meritocracy that Dalton has established by explaining how women are still suffering from this myth that America has created. Dalton and Conniff are able to debunk the myth of meritocracy and help those that believe in meritocracy understand the inequality the myth has created in American culture. The idea of meritocracy is stating that an individual will not get judged and that “each of us is judged solely on her or his own merits” (Dalton (Alger theory)). But “sometimes we are judged on a different scale”... “favored...and ignored all on the basis of our race” (Dalton). How does this compare to only being judged on his or her own merits because all that is viewed...

...strength and perseverance of the human spirit of men and women so elegantly that it has not been bound by either culture or religious tradition (J. Campbell, 1949). In this article a counselor discusses his experiences while working with a male client named Steve. Steve’s story is very inspiring to everyone. His story shows us that we should believe in ourselves. This story has touched me and I believe people can learn from it. I believe the counselor learned many things from Steve. The first thing I believe that the counselor learned from Steve is that believing in yourself is the strongest belief you can have. If you don’t believe in yourself no one will. Also no one can change you or what you want or believe in. The counselor also learned that some people have a lot of hope; and with that hope people can do anything. Another thing that the counselor learned was that setting small goals is better for a person to do. It may seem hard and take more time, but you can still accomplish your goals and maybe more. The counselor’s behavior may have changed as a result of working with Steve. The counselor may have doubt in Steve also, feeling like he did have limitations as the other doctors were telling him. Another thing that may change as a result of working with Steve may be that the counselor treated him like he is abnormal. The last thing that may have changed the relationship between Steve and the counselor was that the counselor didn’t have faith in Steve either, felt like...

...Building an Ethical Organization Linda Warren HSM/220 8/4/2013 Building an Ethical Organization The growing number of individuals with mental and substance abuse user in the United States has precipitated a crisis. In 2002, Charles G. Curie, Administrator for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHA) within the U.S. Department of Mental Health and Human Services (DHHS), stated that addressing the needs of persons with occurring disorders had become one of the highest priorities for the agency. The two systems of care have different approaches to identifying key symptoms, making assessments or diagnosis, deciding between quiet disparate treatment approaches and figuring out which State block grant funding category should be used to obtain coverage and reimbursement for services. The systems, Federal, State, and local levels challenge consumers and service providers alike in some cases to create divisions between providers and consumers and between providers and themselves. Helping Hands believe that the true and full measures of growth, success and progress lies beyond balance sheets or economic policies. It is best reflected in the differences you make in people lives. Helping Hands addresses the needs of the community residing in the vicinity of our facility, taking the initiative in the areas of mental health, education, behavioral and other health issues.

If a person has a set of personal difference that they contribute to their beliefs and action conflict can arise if that person actions and beliefs are challenged.

When picking up a younger sibling from school and you give them a snack everyday. A conflict can occur if the expectations are not met. If innuendos are used in a conversation or the speaker is not direct it conflict can be a result as well. When communication is broken down, a breach of communication can commonly be discovered and resolve conflict. Although when trying to resolve conflict it is common for others involved in the conflict to be frustrated with logical thinking and behavior. Discussing the issue is the people that are involved with the conflict are the best route for reconciliation. Conflict can a cause people involved with the issue to stop speaking to each other. When this happens the issue grows and the conflict can grow as well. Discussing the issue can not only prevent it from growing but also prevent further misunderstandings. No person in a conflict wants to be considered wrong however open communication, like talking is the best solution...

...Personal Development Plan Learning that Jungian Test classified my personality, as ‘ESTJ’ was probably the most interesting thing, I’ve learned thus far. Its very intriguing to read about other personalities, let alone my own. I even had my husband take the test! The description of ESTJ personality fits me like a glove. I’ve never really noticed, but I do find myself being strict to traditions and laws, and having a clear set of standards and beliefs. I expect the same of others, and I tend to find that I have no patience or understanding of individuals who do not have the same morals and standards. ESTJ personality also describes me as a social person who has a clear vision of the way things should be, and being very aggressive, typically taking leadership. I’m often told I work a crowd well and I’m always the first person to suggest a decision and go with it. My ESTJ personality type seems to coincide well with the Locus of Control results. Finding out that I have a moderate internal locus of control, and taking control of the events that affect me in my day-to-day activities. Also, I learned just how productive I can and cannot be, coinciding with how stressed I actually am. I believe you never fully realize what stage of stress you were actually at until it’s either over, or someone sits down and points it out to you. I am very productive, I tend to multitask a lot, solely because I am always pressed for time, and stressed to the max. I feel as if I cannot function...

They include: • Where the essential nature of the job calls for a person of that sex for reasons of physiology (excluding physical strength or stamina) or, in dramatic performances or other entertainment, for reasons of authenticity. • Where the job needs to be held by a person of that sex to preserve decency or privacy because of likely physical contact or because people are likely to be in a state of undress or using sanitary facilities. • Where the work is done at a single sex hospital, prison or other establishment for persons requiring special care, supervision or attention and it is reasonable, having regard to the essential character of the establishment, that the job should not be held by a person of the opposite sex. • Where the job involves providing personal services to individuals promoting their welfare or education, or similar personal services, which can most effectively be provided by someone of that sex. • Where the job needs to be held by someone of that sex because it is likely to involve working outside the UK in a country whose laws or customs are such that the duties could not, or could not effectively, be performed by someone of the opposite sex.
