...“GONE BABY GONE” En esta película se observa el comportamiento y los dilemas que día con día debemos de vivir cada uno de nosotros. En esta historia se relata el secuestro de una niña de 4 años que vivía en una zona marginal, donde dos detectives se ven inmersos en una investigación. Vemos como el protagonista toma decisiones tan duras y contradictorias a la ideología que lo rige como persona. Esto nos demuestra que aun siendo una persona justa y llena de valores morales, nos vemos envueltos en un dilema que solo ocasionan un conflicto entre lo bueno y lo correcto, y que debamos acudir a acciones justas pensando en el futuro. Este pensamiento lo podemos relacionar desde un punto de vista microeconómico, cuando el gobierno pone un impuesta o un precio tope, sabemos que este causará muchos problemas en el mercado de competencia, pero no nos ponemos a pensar que el gobierno no solo lo está pensando desde el punto de vista económico presente sino también futuro. Está pensando en el bienestar de la sociedad, y no siempre lo correcto es lo justo para todos. Tener en nuestras manos el bien y el mal; las decisiones correctas o aquellas que no lo son siempre representan en nosotros un papel difícil y más aún cuando en nuestras manos está el bienestar del otro o la desdicha. Los modelos económicos nos sirven para saber si ante un determinado cambio, el individuo queda en una mejor o una peor situación que la original, y cuánto ha cambiado su bienestar. Al evaluar la situación...

Cabe destacar, que la teoría del juego nace del hecho de que en situaciones problemáticas en donde se debe tomar una decisión, se debe evaluar el comportamiento de cada uno de los involucrados o participantes para así obtener respuesta a cuáles son los resultados más probables de obtener, tomando en cuenta en todo momento que son aquellas decisiones que se toman mediante un trabajo en grupo o por medio de la búsqueda de un fin o beneficio en común, aquellas que generan una mejor solución al problema planteado. Así en la Teoría del Juego se consideran dos supuestos muy famosos y con gran influencia en la resolución de problemas en la actualidad. Estas son: “El dilema del prisionero”, diseñado por A.W.

Reviews of employee performance taken within an organization are known as performance or employee appraisals. They aim at analyzing employee performance, identifying their potential and inabilities, in order to determine the employee training needs. They also aim at taking decisions about salary revisions and promotions of employees. Ideally, a performance appraisal should give way for an open communication between the employees and their manager or employer. It should provide the employees with the means to communicate their points of view about the organization structure and openly discuss the difficulties they face (if any) at the workplace.

Cyber bullying is defined as any type of negative act that happens on a frequent basis, whether it is face to face, via text message, via email, or on the Internet.

Bullying has been found to occur between children and adolescents. Face to face bullying happens because of an imbalance of power, which is when a person has insecure issues about themselves they try to bring other people down as well.

They might also post personal information and make it publicly noticeable so it will embarrass that individual. E-bullying is another that can lead to violence in the workplace, personal information, hatred messages, or threatening messages are sent through emails. Technology has changed where people...

...Managing Workplace Conflicts The author of this article, Annemarie Franczyk, believes that the expectation to do more with less these days could be fostering a breeding ground of workplace conflict. Managers need to be increasingly aware of clashes between workers before the problems disrupt workflow and productivity. (Franczyk, A., 2010) Annemarie and her panel made suggestions for how to best mitigate the risks associated with workplace conflict. I chose to review this article about workplace conflicts, because I am currently in management at my job and I believe this article will help me get involved more with fellow co-workers and also help me see the things that are going on within the store that are not verbally communicated to me. This article will also help me address issues and help develop solutions to issues. The main point that is made in this article is that people lose sight of the organization’s goals while fighting for their personal goals. And there are four strategies for mitigating the damaging effects of workplace conflicts which are: (1) Recognize it and step in, (2) Meet without emotion, (3) Real solutions, and (4) Use the EAP (Employee-Assistance Program). (Franczyk, A., 2010) 1. Recognize it and step in: Managers shouldn’t avoid situations and wait for employees to do something drastic, like resigning, they should set in and help to resolve issues for them instead of letting them try to solve them for themselves. They...

...Bullying In the Workplace • Some examples of bullying • Examples of some actions that can be taken • Types of Bullying • The Impact of Workplace Bullying • Solutions to Workplace Bullying • Conclusion Introduction: Bullying is be defined as the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended to hurt another person, physically or mentally. Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person. The most common bullying type is school bullying, where some students use force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Justifications and rationalizations for such behavior sometimes include differences of class, race, religion, gender, sexuality, appearance, behavior, strength, size or ability. If bullying is done by a group, it is called mobbing. "Targets" of bullying are also sometimes referred to as "victims" of bullying.
