When it comes to a job that I will like to do in the future‚ I would like to choose teaching‚ which is considered one of the best jobs in the world. There are lots of children all over the world can not go to school simply due to the lack of teachers. Several months ago‚ I watched a TV program showing that teachers were badly needed in many parts of our world‚ places like western parts of China‚ Southeast Asia‚ and Africa.

concept I recently learned about is the Iceberg Metaphor of the unconscious mind. In this metaphor‚ the small bit of the iceberg that is visible above the water represents the conscious mind‚ or the part of the mind used for analyzing and making decisions based on information that is brought from the unconscious (or rises spontaneously).

interpreted in many different ways. “Conversation is a ritual” I find so much meaning behind these four simple words‚ the article in its entirety are summed up by these word. Tannen wants to enlighten us to remember that our words are powerful. I believe she wants us to take back control over what we say. We are as infants and Deborah is as our mother‚ giving us our first words. Not to mention it seems as if she wants to open up the doors for men and women not only in the work place but in their homes;

The concept of repression – which is the bone of contention between those who believe in the mission of recovery therapy and those who denounce it – presumes a peculiar power of the mind (Loftus and Ketchum‚ 1994). The current dispute regarding the existence of repression has mainly focused on whether people remember or forget trauma. Repression‚ however‚ is a multidimensional construct‚ which‚ in addition

Memory ‘Memory’ labels a diverse set of cognitive capacities by which we retain information and reconstruct past experiences‚ usually for present purposes. Memory is one of the most important ways by which our histories animate our current actions and experiences.

Although current leadership theory emphasizes the distinction between transactional and transformational leadership‚ in fact‚ most leaders have a mixed profile of the full range of leadership styles. The best form of leadership is not only transformational or only transactional‚ but rather a combination of the two. However‚ in order to better understand each style ’s pros and cons‚ they have to be discussed in terms of similarities and differences. This cross-analysis will reveal further inquiry
