...Discipline Assignment 3 Conformity, Obedience and authority 27th November 2015 In this assignment I will outline the terms conformity and obedience using references to the public services. I will then explain why they are important and relate them to Asch, Milgram and Zimbardo’s studies. Finally I will describe authority and its relation to the public services. 3.1 Conformity Conformity is when someone acts or behaves in accordance with another/ prevailing social standards, attitudes or practices. Following social norms (the unwritten rules of society) is a type of conformity. Social Norms are a common practise which everyone takes part in, even if it is unintentional. An example of a social norm is going to the back of a que, instead of walking past everyone to the front as we know it would not be accepted by others to do so. Most people conform to fit in or be liked by everyone. It is most common for people with low self-esteem to conform as there is a need for social approval, people who do not integrate tend to stand out and feel lonely in today’s society so they believe they need to conform to become a part of a group. Conformity takes place in every discipline environments, especially the uniformed public services. The Army, for example, issue their soldiers all with the same uniform and administer them with a daily routine. This type of conformity is so every soldier is treated equally and gain similar skill sets and knowledge. The routine the soldiers are given...

...Understanding Discipline in the Uniformed Public Services P1 – Explain the need for and the role of discipline in the uniformed public services Discipline is setting rules for people to follow, this is usually in the workplace or in an organisation. Once these rules are broken, then discipline would be carried out. This is punishing someone in the consequences of their actions. Examples of discipline would be during an induction to a job in the Police. The new employee will be verbally informed or handed information in the form of a guide. This is to outline their job and what is expected of them as a responsible employee, as well as the consequences they would face following breaking the disciplinary guidelines which they are set. It is...

...The need for discipline in the public services Disipline Discipline is controlled behaviour which is calmly collected this is shown in a service like the army where the officers would tell the soldiers what to do, disisipline would be responding with a yes sir and getting on with what was asked for. . Orders need to be followed in the public services because if they weren’t the task set would not get done in time everyone would just do the tasks in their own time meaning deadlines would not be able to be met Self discipline Having discipline means that you’re willing, Self-discipline is where you have discipline yourself and have to get to lessons and work on time you also have to have self-discipline to get all the things you are told to do right. Why we need discipline in the public services We need discipline in the public services because if we didn’t no one would get the tasks or operations done properly or in the time set, for example in the army if they had no self discipline and the soldiers had got asked to do something most of them just would not be bothered to do it. Having the discipline to arrive on time shows that you care for the role you’re in, discipline helps put structure in the team, if the public services had no structure then it would look unprofessional to the public and nothing would get done. In the public services rewards and punishment can be used to enforce discipline. For example the army use medals to praise those who have done...

...Conformity, Obedience and Authority Discipline within the Uniformed Public Services is very important; they have responsibilities to the public concerning their safety and well-being within society. Discipline is used in all sectors of the Public Services; this means that they are more likely to do what is required of them even if they disagree with what they’ve been asked to do. However, it can always be written in the report afterwards so it is made clear to those in the higher ranks who may read it. Discipline ensures that all Uniformed Public Services and the public are not put in unnecessary danger. The need and role of discipline within the Police In the police the role of discipline is essential. This is because should Members of the police wish to abuse his or her power, they can’t do so as easily as there are consequences that have been put into place to reduce it happening. For example, if a police offer pulled someone to the side and requested to search them, the individual has the right to request a reason for the search. The officer would need to have a good reason. Good reasons may be the individual looks like a suspect pending investigation or they have a strong reason to believe that the individual is carrying illegal substances on their person. This is a very good thing because the police used to be able to stop anyone without giving reasons. During 2010 and 2011 in England the number of stop and searches that then lead to arrests was over 60020 individuals...

...Celebration of Discipline Book Review Introduction The Celebration of Discipline[1] by Richard Foster is similar to Spiritual Life: The Foundation for Preaching and Teaching[2] and The Spirit of the Discipline[3] but provides considerably more biblical support for the practice of spiritual disciplines. All three books, however, cite their practice as the solution for carnality and spiritual ineffectiveness of the church. All claim that spiritual disciplines are the means to bring God’s grace to bear on hearts that have become blind and dull of hearing. An implicit message of these books is that the practice of spiritual disciplines has been a hidden truth since Reformation days and that by going back to medieval days and exploring mysticism to find answers has merit. As pointed out in a previous critique of Westerhoff’s book,[4] mysticism, subjectivity, intuition and imaginative reflection weave their way through the descriptions of spiritual disciplines and this is also true, to some extent, in The Celebration of Discipline and The Spirit of the Disciplines. The apparent differences in style and emphasis appear to stem from each author’s religious orientation (i.e., Westerhoff functions as a priest in the Episcopalian Church and is oriented to Roman Catholic mysticism, Foster is a Quaker grounded in the mysticism and intuitive approach of the Friends and Willard is an evangelical Baptist who embraces the spiritual formation movement). They all seem draw heavily from...

...What is the need of discipline? The need for discipline in the Public Services in my opinion is very important. If the uniformed public services did not have discipline and rules about the way their employees should behave, then they would be free to do anything they wanted and be able to get away with it without consequences. If there was no discipline, targets would not be met and jobs would not be done properly. Such as in the police when a crime has been committed and the suspect is being prosecuted there is paper work that needs to be done and if there is no discipline then it would not be done. Police – The Police need to be disciplined because there job is to protect the people in their area of derestriction. They need discipline so that they can do their duties as required, like arresting people: if they are not disciplined enough they could miss evidence or could arrest the wrong person because they couldn’t be bothered to work properly.(Codes of Professionalism) They need discipline so that they can report to emergencies properly and on time, like at a robbery: if they don’t get there on time they could miss the suspect or if they go there not paying attention someone could get hurt, whether that be hostages or people in the street. Fire and Rescue – Fire and rescue services like the Fire brigade need discipline because if they didn’t, the chance of people being harmed and the chance of accidents rises. They need discipline because they need to be able to get to...

...EFFECTIVE DISCIPLINE AND DOMESTIC INQUIRY PROCEDURES PREPARED FOR: PUAN EDNA BINTI BUYONG PREPARED BY: NO. | NAME | MATRIX NO. | 1. | TOH HUI LING | B061510068 | DATE O,F SUBMISSION : 23RD MARCH 2016 Chapter 20: Effective Discipline and Domestic Inquiry Procedures The purpose of discipline is to encourage employees to meet established standards of job performance and behaviour. This means all employees are expected to adhere to rules and regulations. Discipline is actually a form of training. When employees get more enjoyment from their work and feel that they are part of the team they will tend to follow rules and regulations willingly. Discipline action should only be used as a last resort and employees should be encouraged to practise self-discipline. Whether an employee is terminated or dismissed, however, the Industrial Court will proceed to hear the case as a dismissal if it is referred to the Court. Termination arises out of breach of contract and an employer has the right to terminate an employee if he has breached the terms of his contract. If the employees would not be able to perform his duties and if there is no other suitable work for the employees, the employer has the right to terminate the employee’s service. The right to dismiss arises out of breach of discipline. An employee may be dismissed without notice after he has been found guilty of a disciplinary offence after an inquiry. The right to dismiss arises out of breach of discipline. An employee...

...Importance of Discipline and Respect The importance of discipline and respect Discipline and respect are important in life as well as in the army. Respect is one of the army’s seven values. The seven army values are loyalty, respect, duty, honor, selfless service, integrity, and personal courage. While respect is one of the army values, discipline is needed for all of them. You must have discipline in yourself in order to have selfless service, to do your duty, to have personal courage, as well as loyalty, and honor. And it takes a discipline to respect. The definition of discipline is 1. training to act in accordance with rules; drill: military discipline. 2. activity, exercise, or a regimen that develops or improves a skill; training: A daily stint at the typewriter is excellent discipline for a writer. 3. punishment inflicted by way of correction and training. 4. the rigor or training effect of experience, adversity, etc.: the harsh discipline of poverty. 5. behavior in accord with rules of conduct; behavior and order maintained by training and control: good discipline in an army. 6. a set or system of rules and regulations. 7.

... The medical business is in constant flux so it is critical that the clinic can weather the ups and downs of the industry. Growth is an important piece to the success of the clinic and achievement of this objective will require an analysis of alternatives including value disciplines, generic strategy and grand strategy. At the close of the evaluation, a recommendation will be made pertaining to the strategy the organization should implement. Value Discipline Value disciplines are an alternative to generic strategies which is based on the notion that market leaders have realized their top position by focusing on one of three core disciplines: operational excellence, customer intimacy, and product differentiation (Pearce & Robinson, 2011). RIA Endovascular excels at customer intimacy. Each patient receives personalized services, treatment planning, and follow-up care according to their condition and expected results. Customer intimacy is more than just good customer service; it is an emotional connection with the customers or patients. RIA can also use this value discipline more consistently with all of the clinic customers, including the referring physicians. Implementing this level of service with referring physicians will lead to opportunities to cross-sell other clinic procedures. Physicians that already refer patients for treatment of venous disease will appreciate the level of care provided to their patients and will refer patients for other conditions that can...

...Military Bearings In the United States Army, military bearing is the root in which every service member practices in order to carry out good discipline and ethics throughout ones military careers. Army regulations, The Articles of the UCMJ, as well as our own Soldiers Creed illustrate how a military service member should conduct themselves on a daily basis, on and off duty. All military soldiers regardless of branch have an obligation to conduct themselves with dignity and in such a manner as to reflect credit on the military service that they are in. Dignity exists only where the individual has a proper sense of his or her own worth and of the worthiness of their cause. The person who possesses true dignity also will respect the dignity of others. Military bearing is dignity within military relationships. It exists when the individual is proud of his military organization and of there. Dependability is a major aspect of military bearing. Without dependability, one can neither perform properly in the workspace nor be depended upon by their coworkers, or chain of command to carry out their military duties properly. A military member is required to be punctual, and reliable. Lack of this in a service member not only hinders the mission of the command but of the entire Army. Honor, Courage, and Commitment, are three key values that are instilled in each soldiers life the instant that the oath of enlistment is pledged. Honor is the integrity that one takes upon their self in order...
