...Farm Girl In Jessica Hemauer’s essay “Farm Girl," Jessica explains the ups and downs of living on a farm. Jessica shares her feelings of anger, sadness, and jealousy, but we also see how truly grateful she is about the life lessons she gained as a Farm Girl. Jessica gets up at 5 am with her two sisters, Angie and Melissa and her brother, Nick, so they can help their father with the morning chores. After getting up they start their morning routine of “washing their faces, brushing their teeth and taking turns on the white porcelain throne” (Hemauer 2011). Then they make their way to the basement where their mom keeps their clothes, so the house does not smell like a barn. After they are dressed they head to the barn to start their morning chores. Melissa and her father milk the one hundred cows, Nick and Angie feed them, and Jessica being the youngest must feed all the calves. That is her favorite chore; she feels it gives her some responsibility. Jessica does not realize that this is the “beginning of a lifetime of responsibility" (Hemauer 2011). When Jessica was young, she did not realize that all of her hard work and sacrifices were teaching her a crucial lesson in life. She only felt the sadness of being different from her classmates, and that her responsibilities on the farm made it hard for her to have a normal life. In the eighth grade, she wanted to play basketball, she asked her parents, and they agreed to let her join the team. They made her promise that...

...The Brain and Behavior Essay Frederica Phoenix BEH/225 Melodie Miller, Facilitator The Frontal Lobe is the part of the Brain that extends from what is known as the frontal pole of the brain and it extends down to the central sulcus. The lobe is located for the most part in the anterior cranial fossa, and parts of it have a shallow more concave low surface. This is designed for it to be able to fit its orbital roof. When you are viewing the human brain and its design, you will notice that the lateral sulcus is located behind the brains frontal pole and this is what separates the frontal lobe from the temporal lobe. The motor cortex is located within the frontal lobe of the brain and this is the area of which we utilize our fine motor skills almost pre-rehearsing them before we actually make any sort of movement. There is also the area for the production of speech which is located within the premotor cortex and is known as Broca’s area. Broca’s aphasia is named after the French neuroanatomist Paul Broca who is responsible for discovering a certain area of the brain in 1861 from his dealings with an aphasic man who went by the name of “Tan”. Once this gentleman died, Broca performed his autopsy and discovered that there was damage done to the left hemisphere of his brain in the frontal lobe which is why this area was named after him. The frontal lobe is responsible for our decision making, problem solving, movement, managing our emotional and sexual desires, as well...

...Solove uses his expertise in the art of rhetoric by focusing his introduction on ethically appealing to the audience. By managing the rhetorical distance between himself and the audience he builds a relationship and establishes his authority, while not portraying himself as a superior. He establishes his credibility and portrays his scholarly credit through his citations of literature and quotations from privacy experts. He then concentrates on logically appealing to the audience throughout the body of his essay. By displaying the weaknesses of the deductive reasoning that makes up the nothing-to-hide argument, Solove is able to build his inductive argument. In addition, Solove presents the audience with two analogies enabling them to make logical conclusions. In an effort to make a lasting impression on the audience, Solove reserved his emotional appeals for the conclusion. Through the use of dramatic and emotional language, Solove was able to appeal to the audience’s sympathies and imagination and leave them with the reminder that “in the end, the nothing-to-hide...

Conclusion 11 8. References 12 Abstract Change is endemic. It is rapid, and often has significant implications. Change has become the norm rather than the exception, leading organizations through fundamental change processes still poses a major challenge to management. Emotional reactions are often viewed as one of the obstacles to successful change. In this paper I re-conceptualize the emotional experience of change through an identity lens, guided by the question of how and why organizational changes tend to be experienced emotionally. Firstly, I argue that continuous organizational changes are experienced emotionally. Secondly, I view identity as constructed from experiences relating a person to his/her world. I argue that organizational change alters such relationships which form our identity. And third I assume that as outcome of such disruptive changes, individuals...

...Legal, Safety, and Regulatory Requirements When reading the statement, “Common sense and compassion in the workplace has been replaced by litigation”, I realize that many people may have very different ideas on whether they agree or disagree with the statement. In my opinion, I believe that this does not have to be the status quo. I strongly believe that it is up to the organization and how they treat their employees as to whether litigation in the workplace supersedes compassion and common sense. Let’s take a closer look into this. Employee-Related Regulations In today’s society there has been a drastic increase of lawsuits against employers, which has resulted in heightened awareness and acceptance of employees filing legal claims against a negative workplace situation. Some of the organizations and laws created for the purpose of protecting employees include the Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the American’s with Disabilities Act of 1990. These laws and organizations address issues such as discrimination in the workplace, sexual harassment, safety in the workplace, senseless firing, and denial of employee rights. Unfortunately, several of these human resource laws are very complex. For example, according to Gomez-Mejia (2012), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is extremely long and there are over 1,000 different disabilities that affect over 43 million Americans (p. 95). Due to the complexity and...

...Imagine you just received a job offer from a very prestigious company. You come to you first day of work excited to meet your coworkers and get down to business. After your first few days at your new job you realize one of your coworkers is very rude and disrespectful to you. He seems to make jokes at your expense and never has anything nice to say about you. The choice isn’t an easy one. Are you supposed to act nice to him and hide your feelings of distaste to make everyone else feel comfortable around you, or are you supposed to be rude back because it’s not fair to be treated disrespectfully? This is a case of something called emotional labor. Organizational Behavior, by Robbins and Judge, defines emotional labor as an employee’s expression of organizationally desired emotions during interpersonal transactions at work. This being said, a person who expresses emotional labor would shake off this verbal abuse from his coworker to keep his behavior appropriate for work. A factor that may contribute to someone’s ability to be able to show emotional labor is the idea of emotional intelligence. Organizational Behavior says, Emotional intelligence ( EI) is a person’s ability to ( 1) be self- aware (to recognize her own emotions when she experiences them), ( 2) detect emotions in others, and ( 3) manage emotional cues and information. With these two concepts taken into consideration, one can hypothesize that someone with a high level of emotional intelligence would be able to engage...

...One can say that emotion affects speech behavior on the basic level of communication. However, after some research it seems that it not only can affect how a person communicates with someone, but emotions seem to have physiological effects on a person and how they acoustically say things when in a specific emotional state. Emotions play an important role on how we are breathing, the pitch of our voice, the pace at which we say things and many more physiological effects depending on your emotional state. In this essay, we cover a wide range of ways that emotions can affect our speech behavior and how these physiological effects can affect our everyday communication. Emotions can be analyzed on three different levels the first being the physiological level which is when we look at the nerve impulses that are involved with voice production. Secondly, we analyze emotions on a phonatory-articulatory level and this is where we look at the position or movement of the vocal folds. Finally, emotions can be analyzed on the acoustic level where we look at the actual characteristics of speech. These characteristics include, but are not limited to frequency of speech, or the pitch of the voice. Variability in sound production, voice quality, the intensity or loudness of the speech and the temporal aspects of speech, which is when we look at the speech rate, are also characteristics. Each of these is crucial in understanding how emotions can affect our speech behavior. In the study...

...SAMPLE ESSAY The essay which follows is not perfect! It was, however judged to be an excellent essay and was given a mark of 74%. It is presented here as an example of first class work. The mark reflects some weakness in content particularly in the second part of the question. The essay was also well over-length (4650 words for a 3500-4000 word essay.) N.B. word count does not include abstract or bibliography. The mark sheet is attached at the end. Please note that this has been amended for academic year 2003-2004. The occasional citation errors are pointed out but were not penalised. It is a well presented essay, with a clear structure. Points are well supported from the literature and there is some critical discussion of what the student has read. The essay showed evidence of very wide reading (nearly 40 items in the bibliography) but the writer could have achieved the same mark with a lot less. There was a heavy reliance on some basic reading list material in places that did not do justice to the amount of independent research. There are marginal comments throughout the essay. Passages referred to are marked in red. 1 "As new strategies are implemented in any organisation, tension and conflicts are likely to arise ... such conflicts must be confronted, no matter how uncomfortable it may feel to operate in such a situation.

...Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as treatment for offenders produced “a 52% decrease overall” (Lipsey, Landenberger, 12) compared to a control group of prisoners who did not receive the treatment. CBT is a form of psychotherapy that analyzes a person’s thought processes and how that relates to their behaviour. It is used to change patterns of thinking or behaviour through sets of principles. This type of therapy has proven to be effective for sufferers of depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and schizophrenia, all of which are prominent within prisons. Subjects to this type of treatment exhibit a change in brain activity and therefore a change in behaviour which is exactly the type of approach that should be taken when managing prisoners. The brain controls the way a person acts and if it is not psychologically healthy, then that person’s behaviour will reflect that. Measures need to be taken within the American prison system to aim at preventing further criminal behaviour by helping prisoners with why they are committing these deviant acts, and then focus on treating them. Punishing a prisoner will do nothing but inflame the problem. In the book, The Lucifer Effect, world-renowned psychologist Philip Zimbardo reveals that: most people who become perpetrators of evil deeds are directly comparable to those who become perpetrators of heroic deeds, alike in being just ordinary, average people. Neither attribute is the direct consequence of unique dispositional tendencies...

...Cystic Fibrosis By Cameron Boulden Cameron Boulden BI101NB Cellular Essay Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder passed down to children from parents through defective genes. Normally neither parent has the disease, it is the child who inherits one damaged gene from each parent, causing the infection. Some of the target areas for cystic fibrosis are, sex organs, lungs, liver, pancreas, and sinus. (Gary H. Gibbons) People living with cystic fibrosis have thick gluey mucus that builds up in their lungs and blocks the airways, ultimately making it hard for tubes to carry air in and out. Typically mucus is watery, keeping organs moisturized so they don’t dry out. (Gary H. Gibbons) Mutation of the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene is what leads to cystic fibrosis. A change in this gene negatively affects the formation of the CFTR protein, making it unable to pass chloride ions and water in and out of cells. The lungs and pancreas are then directly...

...------------------------------------------------- Workshop Two BIBLICAL WISDOM Proverbs 15:1 (NIV) “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Mark 11:25 (NIV) “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." Bobby Knight, the former coach of Indiana University’s basketball team, had an angry outburst and assaulted one of his players. The university sent him to “anger management” treatment. He subsequently had another major angry outburst and was fired—despite having been one of the most successful college basketball coaches in history! The correct way to stop the whistling teakettle is to turn off the burner. Likewise, the answer to ending angry outbursts is to find the root cause of the anger, and then “turn it off.” Forgiveness will turn off the burner. WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES By the completion of this workshop, the student will be able to: * Evaluate scenarios in which listening has been compromised. * Examine conflict management in the workplace. * Describe barriers of effective listening. * Compare ambiguous and specific language. * Investigate the use of praise and criticism in the workplace. * Create slides using a professional design selected in PowerPoint. ------------------------------------------------- Workshop Two Assignments The following assignments will be submitted prior to Workshop Two.
