For the purposes of directing ex-offenders "from darkness to light," we felt that the first and most important step was to introduce the inmate population to the wealth of resources already existing in the community. Community Partners in Action, the Catholic Charities Resettlement Program, and Families in Crisis each offer specific ways to help inmates upon release. Yet rather than suddenly thrust pamphlets at inmates when they leave prison, they need to have time to digest their situation and think about possibilities for their future. Mending family ties and preventing family problems remains a primary concern and the services we investigated offered counseling and mediation. Spiritual intervention can also help ex-offenders find meaning and purpose in their lives as well as the support of a strong and grounded community. Finally, offering avenues for fruitful and rewarding employment improves the ex-offenders sense of dignity, increases compassion throughout the community, and reduces…...

The more training, emotional support, education, and basic needs are offered by the community, the easier it will be for offenders to rebuild their lives without crime.
Our intervention program helped draw attention to the real need for stronger connections between corrections institutions and communities, as well as between former offenders and community members. While our small-scale project might not solve the root causes of crime or recidivism, our community action does benefit all members of the community by increasing awareness of the services available.

V. Conclusion

Relationship building is a core theme of our research. We believed that correctional facilities need to maintain strong ties with community outreach organizations. We also believe that individual members of the community including business owners need to engage in meaningful dialogue with both the Department of Corrections and community outreach organizations. Former offenders also need a social support network when they are released. Our findings…...

Group Project Participated, Effective a Team Member
Participation in a group project, behaviors, effectiveness and solution of arising issues

The basic step required the constitution of our team so that each could get roles to play in the project. As a member, the assembly of the right and performing team proved a real test. However, the attribute of tolerance and accommodation of different personalities promoted an understanding that led to a working team. The team constituted personalities from different fields, as; thus, opinions had a wide range of variance.

The expression of positive teamwork during the undertaking of our project proved a major step towards the realization of the set down project objectives. The different members involved contributed high quality performances towards the project. This led to each member succeeding at a personal level. The basic success contributed to group work success; hence the quality of the project realized improved.

The other source is not potable (too much salt) and would need to be distilled. Furthermore it may need to be pumped to the surface.

You may need to find out what the water pressures and temperatures of both sources of water are for these artesian basins. This information should be available from government sourses. Google the names of the basins to find out.

The warm water under pressure could possibly be used for pumping the saline non-potable water to the solar still or through the solar still. In addition since this warm water is a source of energy it could also be used for preheating the water used in the solar still.

There many different available bodies of water in the Bendee Downs area that might be suitable for use with a water supply and sanitation system. This means that an abundance of water can obtained by the communities in the area if proper systems were in place. The demands of these systems depend highly on the differences in the bodies of water themselves, and coming to an understanding of these differences is thus of great importance when proposing water and sanitation systems. The primary difference and one of the major means of categorizing the various bodies of water at Bendee Downs is ground water -- underground pools and springs that can be tapped

Kuwait Sample
Summary of Kuwait's macroeconomic performance

Kuwait much like most of the developed world has undergone significant change. This change has occurred in both social and economic matters. Aspects that once plagued the nation are now being abated by policies that increase productivity and enhance economic activity. Much work still remains for the nation however, as disparate views often conflict with proper policy. After Kuwait gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, the state's oil industry saw unprecedented economic growth. Oil production during the following decades nearly doubled. Oil during these periods, was primarily exported to other developed nations including the United States and Japan. As time passed, Kuwait gained a strong competitive advantage in oil and petroleum-based products. This advantage, ultimately allowed the country to flourish during the 1980's and 90's. However, as will be discussed later in the document, economic concentration of petroleum-based products created a dependency for…...

Power of Groups
The experience with group work this time around was decidedly mixed. There were elements of this situation which typified the worst of working with others in groups. Still, there were other parts of it that hinted at the true power of collaborating with others in a work environment. As such, it was a great learning experience and one which suggests that there are some definite benefits to gain from collaborative efforts in general.

Lack of Communication

Perhaps this experience was so mercurial because it was a small group to begin with. There were only two other participants in the author's group: Tonya and Jimmy. Jimmy proved as reliable as Tonya was unreliable; these group members were dichotomous in their effort, enthusiasm, and value they contributed to this project. Perhaps the tone was set for this group project after the initial meeting, which was pivotal in and of itself for the…...

Group Motivation Inventory
Motivation can be defined as the various ways used to make people or a group of people to become more interested and committed to their work. Scholars' termed motivation to be more of sociological and psychological concept as it is relying on human behavior and how they relate to one another. Group motivation is an important aspect in group dynamics since most groups purely rely on motivation to be able to work together efficiently Xiangli, Solmon, Tao, & Ping, 2011.

Motivation can be derived from various things and because of that, each and every group member derive his/her motivation from different sources, which without their, existence results in differences in attitude and contribution levels to the group's projects or tasks. In the recent group motivation assessment, we carried out, I got to discover how I view group participation and some of the issues that affect both mine and other…...

ut the truth is it boils down to one thing: Teamwork and Unity. With it everything comes along, sense of responsibility, accountability and concern.
Team is a cooperative unit composed of people with complimentary skill committed to a common purpose, performance goals and approach to which they hold themselves mutually accountable. It is essential that each member is willing to work in unity and should any differences arise, find a way to resolve them.

The success of the team is the success of each member. However, one bad seed included which may cause its failure will not be reflected on that individual alone but the whole team may suffer.

MEDCOM's attempt to identify a more efficient project management model that can optimize functionality across the organization, particularly with respect to project managers and to the flows throughout MEDCOM. This process is a transformational process, because of several reasons.
MEDCOM has identified the problems it faces. These problems include "the lack of perceived information and expertise and bureaucracy of the environment" (Kashiwagi, Sullivan, Sullivan, Kashiwagi, (2008). It has also decided that change is in order and change implies a transformational process. MEDCOM aims to become an entity that is more effective and efficient and it looks to different ways in which this can be done. As part of the transformational process, one has both the proposed final objective (becoming a more efficient organization) and the steps to reach that objective (the recommendations that this paper will make for MEDCOM). With all these elements, the assessment is that this project is…...

Facilitation Project: Laying the Groundwork
According to the management theorist Bruce Tuckman, all groups go through an inevitable process of forming, storming, norming, and performing (Chapman 2015). The first stage of formation is when members of the group get to know one another and are tentatively establishing their roles. In many ways, this is the most important step of group development, given that a good beginning can help shorten the rocky storming period and ensure that the group members learn to trust one another and focus on their goals relatively quickly.

The group setting in which I chose to conduct my facilitation exercise was that of a business setting, involving a recently-formed project team. The team was made up of individuals from a number of different departments, so while they were all acquainted with one another, they did not know one another very well, nor have a good sense of one another's…...

Evolution of the Group/Team over the Term

Group Structure, Leadership, and Communication

Intra-group Conflict

Korn-Ferry Assessments

Peer Evaluation

Summary and Lessons Learned

The significance of teamwork in today's workplace cannot be overemphasized. With workplace tasks becoming increasingly complex, teamwork tends to facilitate faster task execution and an atmosphere of inclusion. Based on concepts and theories learned throughout the course as well as Korn-Ferry assessments, this paper provides my own reflection of the Group Consulting Project experience. The group project involved conducting the OB process for Nova Southeastern University College of Pharmacy. The reflection particularly focuses on how the group evolved over the term, dynamics that occurred between group members and within the group, conflict management, as well as group structure, leadership, and communication.

Next, the facilitator will pose an introductory question that will stimulate brainstorming by engaging students in the "why" of their involvement in the group (Bouassida et al., 2006). Next a transitory question will lead to examination of the problem at hand, where the members of the group attempt to answer key questions including (1) what is the foundation of the problem (2) what tools are available to solve the problem (3) what are the most probable outcomes of a problem given the information provided (Bouassida, et al., 2006).

Bouassida et al. (2006) provide the rationale for this protocol, suggesting it enables group members to participate in a manner that allows greater collaboration and verification of the results.
