In the fulfillment of the course (ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR) Submitted to Course Facilitator (Tehzeeb Sakina Amir) By Kinza Butt(ID#6644) MBA(M) DBA_SPRING_2013 Politics and Ethics In the Workplace
SUMMARY:
The issue here is that Michael is faced with an ethical dilemma regarding whether or not to participate in politics in order to capture a higher position within another sector of his organization. He is aware that his opponent Danielle has entered workplace politics at full speed, and is using every opportunity to gain leverage against Michael.
Michael's opponent demonstrates legitimate political strategy and should be considered a threat to his desired position .Her political strategy has proven to be a formidable opponent for Michael, and has forced him to consider participating in office politics.
Although Michael has refused to enter in to office politics, he still wants the power and the responsibility of Lafleur's president of U.S. Michael is a hard working individual who truly wants to accelerate his career based on his ability to work, and not his ability to strategize politically.
I think that Michael's colleagues do demonstrate legitimate political strategy and should be considered as a threat to his

    The film described two mayor candidates used different approach to run the mayoral campaign in Newark, New Jersey. Sharp James, who was the 16-year incumbent mayor, had been possessed tremendous power in the city. Whereas Cory Booker, who was the upstart challenger in the race, decided to win the race by using “influence” strategy. At the beginning of the movie, it clearly shows different campaign style of two candidates. The movie started with the scenario that Cory Booker went to one of the highest poverty level neighborhood to gain people’s support. In comparison, Sharp James easily convened many of his supporters to advertise his reelection campaign at the beginning. In the following paragraphs, I will analyze how these two candidates use different approach for their mayoral campaign.…

    In the book Projekt 1065 by Alan Gratz, a big contrast & contradiction moment is when the main character Michael tries to save a british pilot from being tortured by Nazis. Michael’s parents are spies for the Irish so him risking his cover is very bad. At this time the Irish are neutral but if the Nazis found out about the spy work, they could go to war. His parents even tell him to not try to do anything suspicious yet he follows through with his plan. If Michael were caught trying to save him, him and his family could be executed. Normally Michael is very secretive and likes to stay low and try not to be noticed or stand out, so this is odd for his character.…

    Chris Matthews, who has been active in the political scene for decades, shows a good (if poorly expressed) understanding of how a lawyer from WWII general or an actor from California can play the right political cards to win the presidency. In his book "Hardball", Matthews asserts that the game of politics to be one more of subtle nuances and individual technique than a matter simply of luck or formula, as many people are inclined to believe. A candidate must show ambition and a natural knack for leadership to even stand apart from his peers. He must have good communication skills, whether on the personal level or on the group level. And perhaps most importantly, he must be willing to compromise, to work with delegates both from his own party and with the opposition, and must do so in such a way that his enemies somehow feel indebted to him. Once an aspiring politician has mastered these lesser-known tricks of the trade, he is ready to play "hardball" politics.…

    After coding all the candidates of the Republican National Debate, Governor Kasich stood out because his number of acclaims varied greatly from the number of times he attacked and defended himself during the debates. This is most likely due to the fact that his standing was last amongst all the candidates taking part in the debate. Because he held the lowest standing amongst all the candidates, many of the candidates did not bother to attack him so he did not need to defend himself as often as the others. He did not attack his opponents because his focus needed to be in bringing himself up in the ranks as opposed to just bringing the others down. According to Benoit's Functional Theory, this is because attacks can often times create an undesirable impression that the candidate is reactive rather than proactive (Glantz, 277, 2013).…

    Bartolomé De Las Casas utilizes the doctrine of the Just War Theory as a means to support his thesis by proving that the violence incited against the Indians during colonization is not justified because it violates divine authority, perpetuates evil by hurting the innocent and the weak on no account of any fault, and is completely unnecessary in the process of converting people to Christianity. First, he writes that the wars waged against the Indians violates the Just War Theory because it violates divine authority. In the first clause of the Just War Theory, it is stated that the authority of the ruler by whose command the war is to be waged is necessary for the justification of war. Bartolomé De Las Casas essentially says that the people in power, the ones who commanded the war to be waged against the Indians, do not have any authority to do so because it violates the very scripture of the Bible. He cites words from Christ himself to show that it is wrong to hurt the innocent and the weak. This leads to his second claim about the wars, which is that the violence is perpetuating evil because the Indians have no fault committed on their part against the Christians. Bartolomé De Las Casas states that by massacring innocent and defenseless people, and by separating and depriving people of their family members, the second and third clause of the Just War Theory is violated, not only because the attacked are not at fault, but also because the belligerent Christians do not have any rightful intention and commit actions counterproductive to spreading Christianity or God’s word. His final claim dealt with the flawed justification for the war, which is the idea that a prerequisite to spreading Christianity to non-believers is violent oppression of those people. Bartolomé De Las Casas asserted that violence was completely unnecessary, because the Indians were gentle and…

    Del descibes the office employees as “brown nosers and idlers” while Michael Scott “proves you need neither strength, courage, or competence to lead.” While the show is a hilarious representation of the office environment, it is neither accurate or realistic. However, this suspension of reality is also what makes the show so great! Rather than worrying about whether or not Michael is like a real boss, that element is taken away, and the show can just be enjoyed for its comedic…

    The doctor wants to flesh him out to become Michaels; they attempt to make him adopt the identity of a criminal siding with the insurgents, but he refuses to be categorised. Michael appears to the doctor to have transcended the condition of war in the country. He recognises the irony of Michael’s being detained as an insurgent when he barely knows that there is a war on. When Michael declares, “I am what I am” , he is taking his stand for freedom against these well-meaning bureaucrats who are still attempting to categorise him. He is as unaffected by what has happened to him as a stone, “a pebble th at, having lain around quietly minding its own business since the dawn of time, is now suddenly picked up and tossed randomly from hand to hand” (185). His reply to…
