Foods play a vital role in supplying nutrients to the body and supporting health of individuals (Hoffer & Prousky 2006). With the increase in production and modern technology in the 21st century, the quality of food varies considerably with how it is grown and how it is prepared before consumption (Bacchus 2012, p.21). The farming of conventional agriculture and hydroponics as well as the preparation methods of steaming and microwaving can be seen to impact on the nutritional value of food. It can also be understood that there is a direct relationship between the development of chronic health conditions and the nutritional status of food.…

In Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson the main theme is man vs. man, as the title character faces much bigotry and abuse because of her heritage. We can see this bias very early on in the story, even before Ramona is introduced: “The people of the United States have never in the least realized that the taking possession of California was not only a conquering of Mexico, but a conquering of California as well; that the real bitterness of the surrender was not so much to the empire which gave up the country, as to the country itself which was given up. Provinces passed back and forth in that way, helpless in the hands of great powers, have all the ignominy and humiliation of defeat, with none of the dignities or compensations of the transaction.” The Americans had conquered California, as well as Mexico. In doing this,…

Dana Linn Bailey once said, “If you have discipline, drive and determination nothing is impossible.” If you put your mind to anything, and have confidence you can accomplish things. When you let the hard times get to you it will bring your confidence down. Determination will help you get through the hard times even if you don’t think you can overcome them.…

In “The Glass Castle” we see many different possibilities pertaining to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. We see the father, Rex and one of the daughters, Maureen, who fall victim to Maslow. Then there’s Jeanette and the mother, Rose Mary who have both seemed to achieve self-actualization regardless of their hardships. Traditionally, Maslow’s Hierarchy is thought to be achieved by working up from the bottom of the pyramid to get to the top. However, in “The Glass Castle” this is not particularly true. All the characters mentioned in this essay lacked safety and security, love and belonging, and psychological needs at some point during the novel. How they handled this though varies. “The Glass Castle” gives you a different view on this topic altogether. We see that whether or not Maslow’s Hierarchy is achieved, depends solely on the individual themselves.…
Why are some people highly motivated than others? I think about this question often because I have some coworkers that are driven like myself whereas others lack ambition. I specifically chose articles that focused on psychological needs and individual differences within an organization because I wanted to understand the motives behind my behavior as well as the behavior of coworkers. In addition to this, I wanted to understand and know from a manager's perspective on how to shape a worker's attitude to enhance job satisfaction. Of course, the above statements have puzzled motivational scholars, psychologists, and individuals such as myself for many years, but I will examine these concerns in this paper.…
The theory that best applies to my behavior change, is the self determination theory. The self determination theory looks at motivation and personality and combines aspects of behavioral self regulation as well as personality development (Ryan & Deci, 2000). It takes into account the psychological needs of the person, and also looks at a combination of these factors in order to determine the type of motivation a person has. According to Ryan and Deci, there are three needs that need to be met for a person to feel a sense of wellbeing, growth and development (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Those needs are: a need for autonomy, a need for competence and a need for relatedness. I felt that the self determination theory best applied to my behavior change because in order for me to change my sleeping habits, I first had to identify what my motivation was and why I was making the change. I also had to make sure that the three psychological needs were met with my behavior change or the change would be unlikely to happen.…

Self determination means the right to determine ones own life. Client self determination in the context of modern day social work relates to the idea that we want our work to be anti oppressive and to empower our clients. It’s a theory that requires that we respect our client’s rights and dignity and we believe that nobody is more qualified to run their lives but them. The Australian Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics (AASW) outlines the role of the social worker and puts in place ethical guidelines that social workers must abide by when practising. The Code states that “each society has an obligation to pursue social justice, to provide maximum benefit for all its members and to afford them protection from harm” (AASW code of ethics 2004). This quote from the Code of Ethics puts emphasis on the principle self determination, as we believe that maximum benefit comes from empowering a client to feel confident to determine their own life.…

Determination is a positive emotion that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles.[1][2] Determination occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate behavior that will help achieve one’s goal. Empirical research suggests that people consider determination to be an emotion; in other words, determination is not just a cognitive state, but rather an affective state.[3] In the psychology literature, researchers have studied determination under other terms, including challenge and anticipatory enthusiasm; this may explain one reason for the relative lack of research on determination compared to other positive emotions.[2][4]…
