Two separate arguments take place: the old vs the present, and then the present vs the new. The old is denounced with statements such as “those times have passed” (Tolstoy & Katz 137) and “What barbarous views of women and marriage!” (Tolstoy & Katz 139). Then Pozdnyshev jumps into the aftermath of this first argument and shakes them all up with his statement about how love is always temporary: “this preference for one [person] may last for years…more often for months, or perhaps for weeks, days, or hours” (Tolstoy & Katz 140). Pozdnyshev is portrayed as winning this argument, as he is given the last…
Author of the above argument contends that Palean buckets were not uniquely Palean. The argument put forth by the author seems coherent at first glance; upon scrutiny, however, the argument appears seriously flawed and based on several questionable premises and assumption.…

Butow supports his argument by stating that the militarists’ “attitudes” eradicated any thought for surrender. Providing primary sources from Marquis Kido, Japanese governmental and military officials, Butow offers evidence that provides historians with a new perspective. The new perspective that Butow focuses on examines the terms of surrender offered to the Japanese at the Potsdam Conference. Through his investigation of the Potsdam terms, the author argues that Japan would have surrendered much faster if the United States had retracted the idea of unconditional surrender. Based on Butow’s arguments future historians would develop the author’s initial findings through their research and viewpoints on the terms of unconditional surrender.…
Bohlander and Snell’s definition of sexual harassment “refers to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature” (Bohlander & Snell, 2013, p. 112). Thus, Peter Lewiston did not make any direct form of harassment based on the books definition of such; he did fall under the “Equal Employment Opportunity Commission” (EEOC) forms of recognized sexual harassment. Lewinson created a “hostile environment” which the EEOC recognizes, “can occur when unwelcome sexual conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with job performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment” (Bohlander & Snell, 2013, p. 112). As a result Lewiston created a sexually hostile environment for Gilbury based on the constant approaches, and unwanted or requested gifts; even though Gilbury had reputedly stopped his advanced in a proper manner.…
According to Eliana Dockterman, “ By all measures, this generation of American kids (ages 3 to 10) is the tech-savviest in history: 27% of them use tablets, 43% use smartphones, and 52% use laptops.” Eliana Dockterman’s goal in the passage is to build an argument that persuades the audience that there are benefits to early exposures to technology. She uses evidence, reasoning/ connecting claims, and persuasive elements to present her argument.…

Loyalty is the quality of being loyal to someone or something.The state or quality of being loyal; faithfulness to commitments or obligations. Loyalty is like a bond that can't be broken unless there is betrayal in the mix of it. You can't gain loyalty if you're a betrayal person because betrayal is similar to lies and once you lie it builds up more and more. And all those lies you kept to keep your secret for what you betrayed will just get out of control and it would just come out.Loyalty means being true to your word and lying breaks that word. Betrayal is the violation or breaking…
Nussbaum’s view that emotions are judgements, which are strongly connected to our perception of what we perceive and system of beliefs. She groups these view of our beliefs, and perceived objects, in to four categories, as necessary, sufficient, or constituent (as fully, or in other parts). Yet she rejects that perceptions and judgements are necessary, sufficient, or partly constituent in the occurrence of emotions. Rather, Nussbaum focuses that beliefs and perceptions are fully constituent to the emotion. In this paper, I will analyze, and explain her argument in why our perception, and beliefs are fully constituent to causing an emotion, and why there could not be other constituent parts.…
Another problematic issue is the lack of communication between the superior and the employee. Some superiors recite what they learned about loyalty and the importance of maintaining that great asset, but they fail to reiterate it should be loyalty to the agency and its institutional rules and regulations that will get the individual on a respectable level not personal loyalty to themselves (the superior), this kind of leaves the employee obligated to meet every demand. For any relationship to work, it is important that there be trust between the employee and the supervisor, an open channel of communication and transparency in actions can go a long way in establishing a healthy work association (Prakash, 2001, P.2).…
Organizational commitment is considered as an important definition of company effectiveness and job satisfaction is a part of it. The organizational commitment mostly focuses on organizational behavior and psychology. At a main level, most of the researchers claim that definition for organization commitment is: psychological status that characterizes the relationship between employee and organization and that has significance for their decision to stay with the company. (Sumi, 2011) There are three components of organizational commitment: Affective commitment, which is showing a strong emotional attachment to the company and worker continue employment because he want to do that. As a fact, it becomes almost a nature for employee to be emotionally attached to the company and enjoy continuing membership in the company. It was identified several factors, such as job performance, job characteristics, involving in a goal setting and decision-making process, which forms an affective commitment in workers.( Sumi,2011) Continuance commitment which is showing employee attachment to organization by costs, which is related to his lost in case of leaving an organization. Employee continues to work because he needs it. (Meyer and Allen,1990) Employee could be involved to close working…

Whether they are bemoaning the fact that employees are too committed (Whyte, 1956) or that commitment is a thing of the past (e.g., ―The End of Corporate Loyalty,‖ 1986), commentators typically describe the committed employee as one who stays with the organization through thick and thin, attends work regularly, puts in a full day (and maybe more), protects company assets, shares company goals and so on. Randall (1987) suggested, for example, that a ―blind‖…
Pondering further on Gary’s attitude, he might aim to cultivate employees’ loyalty to the company while he may have no or little similar loyalty to the wellbeing and development of the employees. However, employee entitlement, is a hot issue. Some managers struggle with the idea that some employees think they are owed something just for showing up at work. One wonders whether such entitlement is the result of nature or nurture – mostly nurture one might suspect. We might attribute such behaviour to a tendency to their overestimating personal talents and accomplishments (Mueller,…
Firstly, the paper brings the current literature on the fact that some employees are more connected with their organization that others. Therefore, the article discuss the motivational force model, in which, there’re organization-related factors as affinity with the organization’s coworkers and with the organization itself and also individual related factors such as feeling of obligation to stay in the company and intrinsic commitment. Using those theoretical relationships the researchers selected predictors that would affect employees’ desire to stay.…
