Both this book and the academic integrity seminar have taught me how to make sure I can have both good morals and good ethics. In the book Pecorino says that many people believe good morals come from religion but according to him, “religion is dependent upon and follows...

...adolescents Chapter I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Social rejection happens when one individual is purposely excluded from social situations. This rejection can be performed by either an individual or group of people, and it can be active or passive in nature. Since 1990’s, when a whole slew of school shooting began to occur across the United States, there have been numerous studies, centred around social rejection. These studies have shown that this type of rejection can lead to variety of negative psychological effects on the sufferer, including aggression and withdrawal. Humans are social creatures, by nature, and rejection is always emotionally painful. Some rejection is normal in life, and just about everyone has experienced, or will experience, some sort of social exclusion during his lifetime. Repeating rejection can be malicious or otherwise; can have negative impact on a person. These rejections can be much more devastating for highly sensitive individual, or if fitting in with in a certain person or group is extremely important to the shunned person.

Cognizant of the Centro Escolar University vision of “Sustaining Quality and Excellence in the Next 100 years”, the school of Accountancy and Management continuously appraises its academic performance. According to Edward E. Lawler (2010), “the typical person rates his or her performance at about 80th percentile. Hence, people tend to believe they’re doing better than most of the people around them. But, to meet the standard of quality and excellence, an organization requires consistent level of high performance. The hallmark of modern appraisal philosophy focuses on the present performance, future goals, and knowledge of the results. “It is on this premise that the present research focuses on the identification and comparison of the learning styles of the students in the School...

...will address the importance of setting achievable goals, the importance of learning styles in academic success and the validity of ethics and academic integrity in helping to achieve continuing academic and professional success. Setting Goals Distinct, clearly defined goals that can be measured will allow a person to take pride in accomplishing the goals they have set. They are able to see clear forward progress in what otherwise might seem a long drawn out process. Setting goals allows one to choose where they want to go in school or in a career and what they want to achieve. Knowing what they want to achieve, helps them know what they have to concentrate on and improve. Goal setting gives one long-term vision and short-term motivation. By setting goals students and employees can: improve their academic and career performance, increase their motivation to achieve, increase pride and satisfaction in performance and improve their self- confidence. Setting goals and measuring their achievements allow the goal setters to see what they have done and what they are capable of doing.

Effective goal setting requires one to express goals positively, be accurate, set priorities, keep goals small, set goals one can control and set specific measurable goals. Writing down your goals symbolizes a real commitment to strive to make them reality. My educational...

...Langston, & Brower, Dec 1987) Students like me may use this strategy due to low expectations to cope with their anxiety so that it does not become devastating. There are many tools to attain successful measure towards personal responsibility. The first step is to define what it means to you individually, it allows for self-reflection to navigate the path to a successful future in life and your career. I believe personal responsibility is not giving excuses on why I’m not persevering through hard times. When I first attended college, I didn`t plan properly for any difficult tasks either in my personal life, school, or work. Instead of seeking help from reliable sources, I would give up and throw in the towel and stop believing in myself when specific tasks involves research that challenges me to go a level I’m not comfortable at. The good news is I turned to my family support because they are my driving force and motivation to accomplishing the goal of obtaining my degree due to the fact it will change our quality of life completely. Personal responsibility requires students like me to finally accept the truth that you are responsible for your own choices for your career because no one is going to do it for you. Most of the time, when mistakes are made, the initial reaction is to point a finger or find an excuse rather than accept involvement. Personal responsibility is the key to College success because at times because most students like me...

...trust, happiness, independence, love/affection, and achievement/ success. After analyzing and trying to decide on one value that means the most to me, I realized that four of the values I chose all play an intricate roll in one value. My achievement and success in my life is very important to me. Without having achievements or accomplishing something that I have set out to do, I would be an extremely miserable and lost soul. I believe everyone was put on this earth to achieve or accomplish something. It is up to the individual whether they are successful. While reflecting on previous years in my life, I noticed that trust, happiness, independence and love/affection have almost deterred my courage to achieve and succeed in certain situations. Trust is the very thing that everybody in this world desires, or at least should desire from one another. Trust is the reason a husband does not question his wife’s whereabouts, because he believes her faithfulness. Trust is the reason a boss does not check behind the work of his employees, because he knows that they will do it to his standards. I believe that trust is faith. When I say that I am placing my faith in somebody, I trust them. Whenever I die, it is one thing that I want to be remembered for. That as a woman, I maintained people’s trust in me. When there is trust in any type of relationship, the parties involved are able to let their guard down. This is what I found myself doing repeatedly trying to make relationships...

...entrepreneurs. Firstly, there are many types of traits that entrepreneurs have. Some of these traits include being able to live with uncertainty and take risks, self-confidence, internal locus of control and more. I will be finding out if successful entrepreneurship is based upon the personalities of individuals or not. Previously, I was never really into entrepreneurship until I started college a few years ago. Having done a fashion design course with sewing and marketing experience, this really made me think about starting my own fashion business in the near future. I had the privilege of gaining further experience and knowledge about the fashion industry through work experience with designers and working at London Fashion Week. This enabled me to talk to designers and have an insight on how they became successful as it is a hard market to have a breakthrough in. Having seen how other designers started out, even with minimal experience and no further education made me more determined to make my dream a reality considering I had experience and now in further education to obtain a degree. On the other hand, there is no success manual in becoming an entrepreneur, therefore I believe it depends on character and personality traits life has taught people, rather than the type of person you have been since birth. In this assignment I hope to find out the answer to the assignment title. Various authors have written and given several different definitions of the word entrepreneur...

This phenomenon has fascinated David C. McClelland. For over twenty years he and his associates in Harvard University studied this urge to achieve. McClelland’s research led him to believe that the need for achievement is a distinct human motive that can be distinguished from other needs. More important, the achievement motive can be isolated and assessed in any group. Also, he developed an Achievement Motivation Theory consisting of the following set of needs: * Achievement * Affiliation * Power The Need for Achievement This need is the extent to which a person wants to perform difficult, challenging, but attainable tasks in a high level. Persons with this need have the following characteristics: * They want to have success and need to receive positive feedback often * They seek to stretch themselves and thus tend to avoid low-risk and high-risk situations. They avoid low-risk situations because the easily attained success is not a genuine achievement. In high-risk projects, achievers see the outcome as...
