ole of Women in Leadership
Leadership is a role that has been male-dominated for centuries, as a result of the patriarchal society in which the West has been situated. However, with the advent of the women's movement in the 19th century, the role of women in leadership began to expand. Women abolitionists came to the fore, women suffragists emerged, women's rights advocates surfaced and finally the Feminist Movement under leaders like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem took shape. However, the idea of women in leadership positions does not have to arbitrarily exist within the confines of a revolutionary movement. Women can, have and do lead in areas and arenas that are completely separate or detached from political discourse, ideology or agenda. For instance, there are female CEOs, female political representatives, female leaders in the financial sector (Janet Yellen at the New York Fed and Christine Lagarde at the IMF), and…...

harsh realities of the human condition is the fact that everyone, including students and teachers, has stereotypical views about other people that influence the manner in which they think and behave. When stereotypes are introduced into the classroom, though, they can adversely affect the environment in ways that detract from the learning experience for all students. Besides traditional gender-based stereotypes, the increasingly multicultural nature of American society has created a wide range of new stereotypes in the classroom today. To determine what can be done, this paper provides a description of different approaches that teachers can use to eliminate stereotypes from their classrooms. A summary of the research and important findings concerning stereotypes in the classroom are provided in the conclusion.

Obstacle omen Face in Pursuit of Equality
hen it comes to overcoming obstacles, two essays, "Ain't I a oman" and "atching Oprah infrey" from Behind the Veil," clearly show that women are encountering hindrances in chase of impartiality all over the world. However, although both essays touch on the same type of injustice which is gender inequality, they each have different themes. For instance, one delves into a country where the sexes are thoroughly kept apart from each other, where topics like sex and race are just about banned for even discussing them openly and where a severe enigma of public morality is imposed by police that are religious. However, the other touches on a period that goes back over a hundred of years where women of color were treated as cattle. Basically bought and sold by a society ran by men. Although these essays are worlds apart, they are yet…...

outer obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is the English language barrier I still struggle with as a Korean student.
Someone besides me who could help me overcome this outer obstacle is a native-speaking student fellow.

How this person could help me is by going through the subjects and lessons with me and help me by explaining them in a simpler language.

An inner obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is procrastination.

Someone besides me who could help me overcome this inner obstacle is a fellow student who is willing to join a group study with me.

How this person could help me is by motivating and reminding me that I should not procrastinate every time she is present.

Defining Characteristics

Empirical eferents

The ability to help a person or a patient is often a complex affair that involves care on a much deeper level than simply treating symptoms. "Overcoming" is a concept that was chosen by the authors; this concept is multifaceted and includes many different aspects, but can be thought as roughly being able to overcome a personal challenge to meet a desired outcome (Brush, Kirk, Gultekin, & Baiardi, 2011). The concept of overcoming is interesting to me and I feel that I have had overcome many things in my life; although these challenges were on a different scale than the case studies provided. However, understanding what it takes to "overcome" could be a valuable concept to many people.

The significance of the concept in the profession can be largely thought of in terms of expanding the lexicon to include terms that might be more relevant to a larger…...

Functional Assessment
Leonard's behavior should be considered as challenging behavior. His behavior is disruptive to the class. When he is told to do something or to stop doing something, he does not follow instructions. He does not pay attention or follow through on work assignments. His need to move around is constant.

Leonard's behavior should be changed through the functional assessment and intervention model described by Chandler and Dahlquist (2014). It should be a team-based process with teachers and parents working together to help Leonard overcome the sensory obstacles that are limiting his ability to concentrate, sit still, study, and succeed in class (Chandler, Dahlquist, 2014, p. 40). Not only is a parent-teacher team work needed, but also the "whole school," as Sugai et al. (2000, p. 131) observe in their analysis of how to apply functional assessment in schools. What is meant by the "whole school" is the collective -- the…...

Interpersonal Communication in the WorkplaceAbstractThis paper discusses the role that interpersonal communication plays in the workplace, some challenges that can prevent it from being developed, and what leaders can do to promote it. It shows that interpersonal communication helps to foster teamwork, trust, and accountability. It shows that challenges to communication can come in the form of different biases, such as generational bias, gender bias, political bias, or cultural bias. It shows finally that leaders set the tone for communication in the workplace. The more welcoming leaders are of other opinions, the more likely interpersonal communication is to be effectively implemented. Mentors should promote interpersonal communication so as to make new hires feel supported and part of the team; and social and emotional intelligence skills should be developed so that individuals know how to read situations and other peoples in order to give the right kind of feedback, support, and…...

King's Speech and What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
A central theme in life which is reflected in many films is the value of relationships and particularly of family and friends. This theme expands on the way in which the help of family and friends assist in overcoming obstacles in life. It is a perennial favorite in literature and movies and forms the foundations of many works of art. Support and encouragement from others also often leads to an increase in the sense of self-efficacy, or a belief in oneself which provide the impetus and strength to overcome problems and obstacles in life.

This theme of support of friends and family and the way that this support assists an individual in overcoming hurdles and setbacks in life is clearly seen in these two films. However, as will be discussed, a comparison of the two films suggests a number of differences that can be…...

Confucius & Business Management
Confucius and Confucianism as a Model for Business Leadership

'What you do not want done to yourself, do not do unto others ... " "The injuries done to you by an enemy should be returned with a combination of love and justice

Confucius

Confucius was among the earliest political and philosophical thinkers; and though he actually lived in the 5th Century BC, his impact and his vision have made a profound impression on the Chinese population, and upon all well-read, intelligent and informed peoples throughout the world for approximately 2,300 years (Mitter, 20043). The philosophies of Confucius stressed ethics, order, stability and morality. These are among the concepts that the business leader, the manager, should aspire to, and this paper will focus on that approach to business and management.

The apathy of private landowners discussed earlier may be due to the feeling that one may not feel that individual efforts are important. However, the case in Waldo, Florida demonstrates just how important the actions of one individual can be in averting danger.
Bend, Oregon has developed large community efforts to help reduce fuel in the area. They open up the landfill several times a year free of charge to allow citizens to dispose of debris from thinning and pruning (NCS, 2003). Thinning and pruning around houses creates a barrier of defensible space should a fire threaten. The landscape and fire resistance efforts in Bend have become a social factor.

These case studies demonstrate how communities can be spurred into action. The study conducted by eams, Haines, & enner et al., (2005) found owner apathy as the number one obstacle that they faced in preparing communities in case of a fire.…...

Negotiation Skills
A High Impact Negotiations Model: An Answer to the Limitations of the Fisher, Ury Model of Principled Negotiations

This study aims to discover the ways in which blocked negotiations can be overcome by testing the Fisher, Ury model of principled negotiation against one of the researcher's own devising, crafted after studying thousands of negotiation trainees from over 100 multinational corporations on 5 continents. It attempts to discern universal applications of tools, skills, and verbal and non-verbal communication techniques that may assist the negotiator in closing deals with what have been "traditionally" perceived as "difficult people." This study concludes that there are no such "difficult people," but rather only unprepared negotiators. The study takes a phenomenological approach to negotiations, with the researcher immersing himself in the world of negotiation training from 2012-14, for several major multinational corporations, intuiting the failings of the negotiators with whom he comes in contact, drafting and…...

That is not to say that these women did not continue to be challenged. The weather, the loneliness, the hostilities, and the isolation all took their toll on Plains women, but they were resolute and determined, and held out hope for the future, and so, for the most part, they managed to survive and even come to love their life on the Plains. One of the most famous Plains women is Laura Ingalls Wilder, who wrote about her family's experiences in the "Little House" series. iley quotes her as saying these problems were "a natural part of life'" (iley 104), and another woman saying, "those years on the Plains were hard years but I grew to like the West and now I would not like to live any other place'" (iley 104). As women became accustomed to their new home, they came to love it, and if they did…...

Another psychological concept is self-confidence. Had I been an individual with a lower self-esteem, I might have fallen victim to all the temptations surrounding me. I could have chosen the wrong, easier path, but I knew that I was better than that and that I deserved more than what was being immediately offered. I excelled in school and this in fact added on to my confidence level. I knew that the harder I worked, the more I would be rewarded. Instead of seeing myself as a victim to a life that I was brought into, I had enough confidence in myself to know that I could get myself out. And following the normal behavior of everyone around me was definitely not the way to leave my environment.

Allowing both resilience and self-confidence to guide me throughout my upbringing was only possible because of the positive outlook that I had about life.…...

3D Animation Model: Parkour Performance
This paper describes a three dimensional (3D) animation movie of a parkour performer. Parkour training is defined as the art of the movement and needs a lot of skills to overcome obstacles within the range of one's path. The latter allows the animator to exhibit his/her skills demonstrating the rapid changes and randomly appearing obstacles. As the animation will last only 2 min, a simple design would be suitable to emphasize details of animation from different camera angles.

3D animations are modeled by manipulating polygon meshes, embedding them into objects, characters, and scenes and eventually moving them. ecently, 3D animations have become a part of daily life routine from the advertisements on the billboards to web pages, television, video games, simulations and medical technologies. The high demand for the 3D animation attracts a lot of young people's attention; however, the skills such as being patient, being…...

Thesis Statement:

The exploration of unknown territories, whether physical or psychological, is often fraught with challenges, but can lead to profound self-discovery, personal growth, and the unmasking of hidden truths.

Introduction:

Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" are classic tales of adventure that explore the intricate depths of imagination and the human psyche. While Carroll's work delves into a surreal and dreamlike world, Stevenson's novel transports readers to an era of pirates, hidden treasures, and treacherous journeys. Both narratives emphasize the transformative power of exploration and the significance of embracing the unknown in order to uncover hidden truths....
