...subject, either of the statements in the set cannot counteract the fact of the other statement in the same set. For instance, when one says ‘I sat for the examination’ and ‘I passed the examination.’ The two statements are independent and none of them makes the other impossible since the occurrence of either of them do not rule out the possibility of the other happening. The two statements jointly would state that I sat for the exam and passed. In order to make the statements contradictory, they would be stated as: ‘I sat for the exam’ and ‘I did not sit for the exam.’ In this case the two statements are contradictory since the occurrence of either of them rules out the possibility of the other (Molner, 2000). A personal daily struggle A personal daily struggle is a case of the law of non-contradiction that can be well illustrated with the school work or daily activities in the work place. For instance in my life personal daily struggle is demonstrated in my schooling and associated work. As a student, one would like to work and learn at the same time. A student becomes at crossroads or in a dilemma of choosing between work and classes. In the personal daily struggle, I am left to decide between a job and learning. In this case, my contradicting statements would state: ‘I would like to work while schooling’ and ‘I would not like to work while schooling.’ These two statements are examples of the law of non-contraction each of the statements...

...Certain learning styles may work for an individual, but the same strategy might not work for different person. Being a kinesthetic learner involves certain learning strategies that are beneficial to keep a person active while doing work to ensure that the individual succeeds to the best of their ability. When finding out what learning style I have, I was not surprised at the result. I thought that I would be a kinesthetic learner and I was correct. Even as a child, I was always active and hands on, which kinesthetic learners like to do because it helps them learn more easily (Mortimore, 2008). Being hands on and active while I do my work helps me focus and retain more information. While working and studying, I do certain things that are typical of kinesthetic learners, like snacking on food and rocking in my chair. With how active I must be to succeed and study, being a kinesthetic learner did not surprise me at all. Some of the things that I do and have always done while I work and study include: sitting in an area where I can move in my computer chair, having snacks accessible, and choosing to use power points. These strategies really seem to help me and be beneficial while I perform all of my schoolwork. I find that snacking while I work keeps my hands and mouth busy, which means I am less likely to fidget and get distracted. Rocking in my computer chair also keeps me active enough to where I do not feel the urge to lose focus on my work. I think that working in briefer...

...I got to be keen on this vocation once I perceived the amount of cash Physicians can make, and in spite of the fact that it's a considerable measure of educating to experience, it's likewise a great deal of cash to make. I've for the longest time been itching to join the therapeutic field, despite the fact that not by any means comprehend what I needed to do. Regardless I don't know whether I 100% need to end up a Physician in light of the fact that there is so much educating that you have to experience to end up one, however they profit and that is one thing I need when I'm more seasoned. The main data I think about this profession is that you have to take around 9-12 years of educating in the therapeutic field after secondary school to...

...Exercising while at work and the Health Benefits Unit 6 Project: Should Employers A lot Time to Exercise while at work Mary Jackson Kaplan University CM 220 College Composition II Professor Connie Maker June 25, 2013 Exercising While at work and the Health Benefits Should Employers A lot Time to Exercise while at work As we enter into the work force we are entering into a world of over worked, underappreciated group of people. We tend to become lazy stressed and depressed which can lead to negative impact on both our work and home life. There are studies that show working to much can lead to depression, stress and unhappy employees. Employers need to keep an eye on its employees and come up with a way to help reduce the depression, stress and turning unhappy employees into happy ones. Employees on average spend 8 to 12 hours a day at work; if they are not allotted time to exercise and help to reduce stress, depression then it will lead to unhappy employees. Employees who are happy tend to enjoy coming to work and production is generally up and there is less stress and arguments at work. Lack of exercise can lead to many health issues like diabetes as described by the American diabetes association. So exercising can lead to weight loss and a health body which will in turn help to lower diabetes and blood pressure. We need to get employers involved in a program to help with this on a daily basis. So how do we do this without a huge impact on Employers and...

...conducted to determine what best motivate employees, and how they can improve performance while decreasing turnovers. According to Dan Pink, a career analyst; he believes that intrinsic motivation can be more effective than incentive motivations. In his theory he believes providing incentives to workers will automatically decrease their level of motivation and with that their level of performance. In the video presented he made notorious emphasis on “financial incentives can result in a negative impact on overall performance” and commended autonomy as the direct urge to direct our own lives. Also stating that Mastery is the desire to get better and better in something that matters. Finally, he stated his last point with emphasis on Purpose, which he explained as the urge to do what we do in a service of something larger than ourselves. Pink stated that self-direction is better while paying people fairly and that management was invented and not naturally born. In my own perspective, you can hold intrinsic motivation accountable on his theory only when you have innovative products to create; however, this implies that not everyone is capable to falling into the autonomy Pink described. Not everyone is capable or have the time to be creative and generate ideas for success. In other words, not everyone have the ability or capacity to create anything other than innovative performance at work while improving and succeeding in other areas of their companies. In the case it is a technological...

...Running Head: Am I a Good Communicator? Am I a Good Communicator? According to Merrium-Webster dictionary (2011), communicating is a method by which information is passed between individuals through a similar system of symbols, signs, or behavior. Being able to effectively communicate and listen to others are important in every aspect of our daily lives. A person has to be able to communicate and listen while at work, home and at school. Relationships are formed and built based on how people communicate with one another. For these reasons it is extremely important that we look at and analyze our communication patterns in terms of speaking and listening. After analyzing ones ability to communicate one then needs to examine areas in which work is needed to improve communication patterns. In terms of speaking I have always felt that my communication skills could improve on different levels, but after reading chapters 7, 8, and 9 in the text my feelings have changed slightly. I am generally a very quiet person. In speaking with family and friends while completing this assignment I was described as the “strong silent type.” Through reading I feel that I have an open style of verbalizing. I am a firm believer in it is not what you say, but how you say it. As a person who works with individuals with developmental disabilities I have learned that verbal communication is essential. You have to compliment the individual when they accomplish goals. Also I have to provide feedback...

...Prison Work Release Does it help in recidivism? The reason I choose to write on this topic is to explain the work release program in prison for recidivism. In addition, while working in corrections I worked at a work release center. While these issues among the general public is somewhat complex, the program itself is fairly straightforward. Prison work release allows an inmate in custody with the Department of Corrections to live at a prison work release center and to go out in the community independently and find employment. The Department of Corrections does not find jobs for the inmates. The inmate must search for jobs and interview like anyone else looking for a job. Inmates walk, ride a bicycle, or use public transportation to look for a job. Once they obtain a job they use the same methods to get to their job. The Department of Corrections also does not pay for the use of public transportation. In order to find employment some centers require inmates to buy a bus pass that is valid for at least one month. However, since most inmates do not have any money to buy a bus pass they rely on family or anybody they can convince to send them money. The general public is somewhat leery about allowing inmates to be free to work with the general public. Sometimes when a person of the general public learns that an inmate is working at a restaurant they patronize they won’t return to the establishment. Some people might wonder what the purpose of it is. Will it prevent the offender...

...learning” (Newman.2013). I know that classroom management is a key component to having a successful classroom. In my middle school classroom, I want to make sure that both the student and myself always spends time wisely, feels free to participate, and keeps the classroom safe. I will work with the students to make sure that rules and expectations are followed at all time to ensure strong classroom management. According to Newman, my classroom would be considered student-centered. The student- centered classroom relates to what the students need. While engaging the students make decisions in the classroom (Newman.2013). Newman also suggested that this type of classroom allows the student to set the rules and procedures of the classroom, however, this is one characteristic that I would change. While rules may help set control, discipline is also a very important component for control. Discipline will be strictly enforced throughout the classroom. The students can expect immediate action to ensure that my classroom stays under control. Also with such a...

At the end of my work experience our superviser had to fill in a superviser's report grading the work we did over the two week period.

The consequences you make with personal responsibility will affect you as a person; it could make you a great person or without it could make your success a failure. The choices you make in life reflect on the person you become. Some people develop good techniques to make better choices in life to make sure that their life is on track. Developing your own personal responsibility is taught by values set by your parents while growing up. When I was a child growing up my parents taught me that...

...What I am going to examine is the process of getting ready for work in the morning. I choose this because I would like to be able to get more sleep and still get to work on time. I cannot fall asleep until after 10 PM, even if I go to bed early, so this requires gaining additional sleep in the morning. The morning process starts with waking up and taking my vitamins while the shower warms up. Once in the shower, I wash my hair and then scrub my face. After which, I wash the rest of myself and condition my hair. After rinsing off, I shut off the water and dry off. Once dry, I apply cologne, antiperspirant, eye drops, and allergy nasal spray. From there I shave, apply lotion and style my hair. When this is complete I get dressed, prepare lunch and breakfast, eat, and leave for work. This process takes 45-50 minutes. The success of my organizational effectiveness is connected to the quality policy (QP) in place by management (I). The QP includes the...

...PSY 2404 2/12/2016 Article Review: Work – Family Conflict and Emotions: Effects At Work and At Home I did not like reading this article because it reminded me of times where conflicts at home have affected my performance at work. Although it is common practice to leave your problems at home while at work, it is most definitely inevitable that those thoughts of the problem at home will arise while at your place of work. While working at a sales and marketing firm called Coast 2 Coast Marketing, it was imperative for me to keep a high PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) to perform well in the sales aspect of the position. The times where I had conflicts at home or worries about things at home would definitely affect my performance at work. I was not the only one also. I would see these same patterns in my recruits (The Spartans). While they were going through conflicts at home, they were more likely to get irritated by certain tasks I would assign to them, or be somewhere else completely mentally instead of focusing on the task at hand. There was one instance where a recruit of mine felt guilty about a home situation at work (he had stolen money out of his mother’s purse due to not having enough to get to work let alone buy food etc.) and I offered to talk to him about what was bothering him. After spilling his guts to me, I offered him some money and advised him to call me or ask me before the end of the day if he needed any money so that way he does not have to steal from his...

...self-assessment. By conducting these questionnaires and assessments, not only are the skills defined, but the strengths and weaknesses of leaders are also exposed. This will allow leaders to have a better understanding of themselves and why they interact with others the way they do. The primary findings that were concluded while completing the assessments were that I have more human skills than technical skills. This was made evident during the style questionnaire, which measures leadership behaviors of task vs. relationship. The majority of my responses, and co-workers responses, proved that I display an emphasis on relationship driven type skills. The leadership trait questionnaire, which measures the personal characteristics, proved that I have the skills to be articulate, friendly, sensitive, and empathic. Whereas the skills inventory, defines my leadership skills and overall personal competencies. Our answers showed how I am effective with dealing with others within certain relationships which conclude that I have always been a “people’s person” and able to connect and empathize with people under any kind of circumstance. These assessments demonstrated, which I already knew, how the field of...
