...Accepting differences in people leads to harmonious relationship Mediator: Good afternoon to all of you. We are all the products of our own individual upbringing and experiences so it is completely natural that we will all have differences in opinions on a wide range of issues. So we are here now to witness a debate with a topic of accepting differences in people leads to harmonious relationship. In my right side are the pro we have Joana, Maria Nicole and xyrah. In my left side are the against we have Ronin, Christopher and clarries. So let’s get started. Pro: (xyrah) Accepting differences in people leads to harmonious relationship definitely because as we accept that we are different from each other we are starting to build up a good relationship with others. Well a good relationship can lead great ideas, creativity and achievement. Against: (clarries) I have nothing against your point; however did you ever think already that if we treat each other equally it can lead more to a harmonious relationship? Against: Definitely, that is also what I’m thinking because as we accept that we are all equal, like the gender equality what boys can do girls can also do. With that I think we can achieve a more harmonious relationship if we accept that we are all equal. Pro: Well yes I get your point but we really need to accept that we are different from each other. We have different capabilities, likes and dislikes, different lifestyles and others. We are really...

... My belief in learning is that humans learn from society and they learn to live in the society. I think the true purpose of education is to get along with others and live among those. To achieve purpose of education, people need to be sent off to society. Lecture should not be just making you to memorize thing, it has to motivate you to learn. I believe that whoever is doing is learning. I believe learning is social and should happen in community through investigations, experiments, questions, and conversations. I believe all of our historical philosophers have gathered their wisdoms from social communities experiencing it. Confucius said “At fifteen, I set my heart on learning. At thirty, I know where I stand, where my character has been formed. At forty, I have no more doubts, at fifty, I know the will of Heaven, at sixty my moral sense is well-developed, at seventy, I follow my heart’s desire without crossing the line.” It took thirty years for Confucius, one of most revered philosopher in the world, to stand with his own philosophy. How long would it take for me? I would like to begin with ‘What is the meaning of learning?’ Learning needs someone who is willing to learn. Every process of learning aims to change the learner. I say there are changes in different subjects, such as, knowledge, skill, attitudes, and other things. These changes are triggered by learner by himself. Which means learner by his will, provoke and lead process of learning. At same moment he is...

...they can earn money by asking for money for every good deed they do. Personally, I don't think paying your child just because of good grades is a good idea. It can lead to problems about school. For example, it can increase the amount of stress, it can affect your child's natural enthusiasm to learn or be educated. Here are my reasons why I think paying your child for good grades isn't one of the best ideas. Initially, parents shouldn't pay their children due to high levels or issues or stress. According to the NEA article it states, "Many teachers, also paying students for good grades leads to practical problems in the classrooms, those of which include pressure to inflate grades...

...As we go through life, we all learn some important lessons. In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Ralph is the main character that learns an important lesson about human beings. Ralph and the boys get started on a deserted island as a result of a plane crash. There are no adults, no rules, and no laws. There is just the island, the boys, and their free will. Ralph is the boy who tries to establish authority to keep the boys safe and in line, but he learns that the chaos on the island can lead the boys to do very bad things. Ralph has great leadership qualities, and he shows them throughout the novel as he tries to lead the other boys so that they don’t go crazy. Ralph finds this conch shell with the help of Piggy, and he blows on it very loudly so that if there were any other survivors on the island other than Ralph and Piggy, they could find them. He blows on the conch shell, and tons of boys emerge from the woods and come together. Ralph didn’t just get leadership, he was voted by the boys to be leader. He won leadership over another boy named Jack. Jack is one of the main reasons that Ralph has to learn a hard lesson in this novel. Ralph has to be strong in his leadership, and he has to be a sharp, quick, logical thinker. Ralph conducts numerous meetings of the boys and is very clear and strong in his messages. The boys could get out of hand during these meetings, and they did, but Ralph was always there to take charge and calm everyone down again. But even Ralph...

...can have a spiritual impact on ones life and we can learn many new things like cooking and things that are happening around the world. Some disadvantages of allowing long term inmates to watch television are that they might watch TV shows that can make them act out of character. Another disadvantage is that it will cause the inmates to procrastinate and it will also cause fights and arguments. Allowing long term prisoners to watch television can have a spiritual impact on their life. Allowing them to watch inspirational movies, shows or series can impact them tremendously. These movies and shows can provide them with the truth, the right path to take and what steps to make in order to change ones life.

...might go insane” IP 1 “Because I believe that God existence is real though I cannot prove it.” IP 2 “If you can’t see God, why do you believe he exists?” IP 3 “Family is really a beautiful thing.” IP 4 APPLICATION While doing this IP made me realized that with just one topic it can lead you to another topic. Just like my work, my topic at first is about seeking the evidences of god’s work. Trying to find the evidences of god’s work is really impossible. Consider the theory that god created the universe. Based on the nature of science as we understand it today, we can only look back in time. If we were to prove that the big bang theory really happened, we have no assurance that such proof would indicate how it happened, whether by god or some other force/involvement. If we were to prove that god created the world with such a seeming unlimited power, the best is we could state scientifically is that the god’s power is great enough that current human experience and technology is unable to determine it. If we get too deep with this kind of knowing of the evidences of god’s work we are really getting into a topic that is beyond our knowledge. With this topic it can lead us to my second and third topic about god’s existence and my faith in god. God made the human and scientist wise. I think if god wanted to be "proven" he would have created someone with enough intelligence to do so. Maybe he doesn't want to be proven. Maybe he wants us to have faith. I believe that...

...MGT 250 UPS case study 1) An individual can learn some empathy from a 1 month CIP program because it shows the individual what his/her workers face every day by showing their struggles and challenges or something the manager did not know about the employee. The manager can learn some understanding of individuals who are less fortunate than he/she is. In the meantime that manager can learn a thing or two about himself/herself that can lead to her being a better manager. If a person doesn’t show empathy from a CIP program, then that person isn’t human 2) A CIP program can help the organization manage better work life conflicts because this leads to a better bridge of understanding between the manager and the worker. For example if a manager understands his/ her employee’s emotions and satisfies their needs, you will create a happy employee who will appreciate their job and generate profit for your company. This CIP program is designed to create more supportive managers who understand work-life conflicts of their employees. 3) The CIP program in many ways can improve its response to diversity in the workplace. By understanding their employees, managers who have undertaken in the CIP program can show recongnition to their employees. By doing this is celebrating the differences and cultural bridge they bring to your workplace. The program also helps the manager to be more fair and respectful of diversity in the workplace. An example can be issuing a mandatory meeting...

...learning as a stimulus- response relationship and suggests that learning involves a behavior change whereas according to social cognitive theory learning is an internal process that may or may not lead to a behavior change. According to social cognitive theory, people and their environments mutually influence each other (Ormrod, 2011). People learn from the environment they are in, people they interact with, and behaviors they watch. People can learn by observing others and as they become older they can set their goals based on the accomplishments and the results of that learning. People learn by observation is the basic assumption of the social cognitive theory. The person who demonstrates a behavior for someone else is the model for the learner (Ormrod, 2011). According to instrumental conditioning, learning is a process of trial and error (Ormrod, 2011, p.324). Learners observe different behaviors and try to adopt those behaviors, if any of the learned behaviors bring desirable results; those behaviors stay with the learner Learning is an internal process that may or may not lead to a behavior change. Some of the things people learn appear in their behavior immediately, some other things people learn affect their behavior at a later time, and some of the things people learn from others never influence their behaviors (Ormrod, 2011). For example if the students are engaged in a disruptive classroom...

...Edgar Venegas November 25, 2014 Philosophy 310 Professor Schubert Final Essay High school students are not learning and passing a course due to how the teaching material is organized. Teachers follow and teach their material to students by following what the book says. Due to the fact, that students learn exactly what is taught from the book, their teachers believe the student is capable of answering their own questions based off the book. Furthermore causing the student to score poorly in that class, due to not teaching the student personally and effective. In my point, I believe teachers need to stop relying on the students to learn by themselves using the book, and change their teaching material by personally teaching the student based on the teachers knowledge of the material. Given this argument, I will introduce a pro and con statement that will provide two different standpoints about my argument. After proving both pro and con statements, I will provide how John Stuart Mill will choose either statement by using his moral perspective theory. As a pro statement, teachers who teach their students the correct material upon their own knowledge, without consulting a book as guidance in their class, will have successful passing students. Most high school teachers who have received degrees don’t teach students upon themselves, but depend on book. Unfortunately, when a student needs help, they have to consult to the book, and rely on the practice problems the book provides...

...must be able to encourage, and uplifts those who are on their team. A leader must also recognize other peoples success as being theirs as well. And being able to actually lead has to be the first and far most important quality of a leader. Being able to lead simply means being able to take a vision or mission and execute it through actions and demonstrations. So again the question is, am I naturally a leader or a follower? And what can I do to make myself more comfortable or more effective as a leader? Well in my personal own opinion, I am both. I can be a leader when it necessary and a follower when it necessary. It depends on the situation. I have self confidence, charisma and great interpersonal skills that can sometime influence and motivate other people to participate in different things that will benefit them. I can recognize and create an environment in which all those who are involved in creativity, their talents can be display. That will encourage those whom I am leading. As a follower, I posses the same skills as a leader but I choose not to be responsible for others. I like to work sometimes behind the scenes. This will allow me to grow and learn more. Being a follower enhance my skills. I get to watch other lead and I learn from their mistakes. But naturally I prefer to be lead by someone who knows what they are doing. Being a follower does not mean you’re weak. It just means you are...

...What HR Must Learn from Marketing Human Resources has a marketing problem: it needs to learn to be more like marketing. Yes, HR has historically been poor at communicating and demonstrating its value, but it goes beyond that. High-performing organizations (HPOs) are placing significant emphasis on becoming more analytically-driven and market-focused. While the HR functions within these top companies are adapting their orientations to support and deliver against these imperatives, there are many lessons HR must learn from their organization's marketing function, a function that was forced to evolve from tactical to strategic and has established foundations upon which HR can learn from and refine its efforts. Quantify and validate your impact on the business Since the dot.com bubble burst 13 years ago, corporate leadership has tightened its grip on corporate marketing and held it accountable for its impact on the business. This forced marketers to evolve the way marketing measured its success; away from efficiency measures (e.g., cost per click and click-through rates), towards effectiveness measures (e.g., number of marketing qualified leads generated), and ultimately impact measures (e.g., marketing's contribution to sales forecasted pipeline). Much of this evolution was enabled by marketing's collaboration with sales. This collaboration has allowed marketing to focus on measures that actually "move the needle" and has broadened its impact on the business. What HR...

...(2012). While there are benefits of such a diverse nation, the United States still faces many challenges, because of prejudice and discrimination. With the rising population of immigrants, the population of people living in poverty will also rise. With the rise of people living in poverty, there will also be a rise in crime. The reason for this is, people who live in poverty have less access to high paying jobs are more likely to participate in illegal activities, such as dealing drugs to make money. Minorities and immigrants are statistically paid less than whites, for doing the same jobs. So this is what leads to poverty. The rising crime rate among minorities and immigrants also leads to the separation of families. Many children in poverty ridden neighborhoods are raised by single parents. The rising number of crimes in these neighborhoods leads to more parents, mostly men put in prison, therefor leaving the women to raise the children on their own. Another disadvantage is more prejudice and discrimination. Prejudice and discrimination can be seen in the workforce, neighborhoods, and schools. Minority workers are paid less for their skills, than natural born works, neighborhoods are segregated, and minority children are lacking in education. While these are all...
