Which holiday celebrates harvest around a bonfire, monster carved pumpkins, candy sales that soar to the millions, and costumes that are as unpredictable as the weather? Halloween, of course! Halloween is the second most successful holiday behind Christmas and I don’t have enough paper to explain all of the reasons. Halloween comes in many colors but the ones we always associate it with are orange and black – orange represents the fall harvest and black represents darkness and death (creepy!). Seemingly, the two are twisted into one interestingly spooky season.…

In 1969, Des Moines Iowa school districts, it was fine to wear the iron cross to support Nazis but it was not okay to wear arm bands to support stopping the Vietnam War. (“Tinker V. Des Moines” 3) When students wore the arm bands they were asked to go home and suspended from school. This set up the case for Tinker v. Des Moines independent school district, a case that would determine the right of free speech for students. This case can be better understood by studying the Des Moines independent schools, students and their policies, examining the decision of the court and, reflecting on how it has influenced society today.…
There will be people who resist change by many different ways which can be overt or convert, active or passive, well intentional or subversive. People will fight change in ways that fit their personalities so there will be a wide range of tactics at work when resistance emerges. Managers have mistaken the lack of overt opposition for support, while others will disguise their resistance to make it safer or politically correct. They can be very cunning by operating undercover, resisting on the sly, and fighting change carefully to reduce their chances of being caught. There are several ways that they can be subtle in their sabotage they are: (McConnell, 2010, p. 418)…

At first glance, these two sculptures look identical. It is no coincidence that they have the same name. Pieta definition is “a representation of the Virgin Mary mourning over the body of the dead Christ, usually shown held on her lap (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/pieta).” The sculptures are devotional pieces for any religion in which this scene pertains.…
Reading through the Fred Maiorino’s case, it is very much clear that the main key issue for this case was lack of motivation. The way Fred’s new boss Jim Reed motivated Fred to get going on his job wasn’t a very good way. Reed failed to understand that motivating an old employee is completely different than motivating a new energized employee. From motivating followers Dr. Yammarino points out that the individualized leadership should be evaluated with respect to three practical considerations; first human motivations are complex and are not always nice; second, leaders must cope with difficult people and a competitive, somewhat Darwinian world; third, leaders must make decisions that often result in someone losing and someone winning (Yammarino, 2000). Every human being and/or employee is different in nature and reacts differently given a variety of situations. Being a leader of a group of people is a complex job where the leader has to understand each employee. Some humans are easy to understand and make understand certain things while some people are so much difficult that they can never be understood in our whole life, just like our professor Dr. Humphreys mentioned in class about one person in his career whom he didn’t find out a way to motivate. Not just a single or couple, but there will be many people in every leader’s career whom they cannot find a way to motivate in a proper way. Thus, for these kinds of situations a leader should always be prepared with a bag of solutions. It’s a leader’s job to make sure that the workplace is competitive, rewarding and appraising so that someone is winning and someone is losing.…

Burnout can be cause by individual, cultural, organizational, supervisory, and social support factors. Individual factors can include a person’s personality type, and/or his or hers work related goals. If a person sets unrealistic work related goals, such as, thinking that they can save every child from abuse, that person will become burned out quickly. Also sometimes a person’s personality type will not fit well with their career choice in human services.…
