I found the article‚ “The Power to See Ourselves‚” to be very informative and insightful. I agree with the author‚ Paul Brouwer‚ that self-image‚ self-concept‚ and the development of a manager are all connected. I agree with the Brouwer that all of the things that people do‚ see‚ or hear is influenced by self-concept. I feel that‚ if I see myself as a confident and capable businesswoman‚ I will be much more confident and capable in my actions while in the workplace. On the other hand‚ when I first

"To see ourselves as others see us is a most salutary gift. What is more important‚ however‚ is the capacity to see others as they see themselves." (Aldous Huxley) Aldous Huxley made the previous statement probably with several meanings in mind. He might have thought about the egoic self analysis as well as the impact of knowing oneself and having the capacity to ‘see others as they see themselves’ in interpersonal communication‚ therefore conversation or dialogue. The human ego is very much

When considering issues relating to the concept of identity one should always bear in mind the ever-changing and dynamical character of such a notion. The ways in which we see ourselves as well as those in which others see us are both historically and culturally constructed. Yet every historical period sees its own understanding of identity as unchanging‚ permanent‚ immutable.

Case Application 1: Work/Life Balance at Baxter 1. I believe the role‚ work/life balance‚ play in the success of an organization. An employee wants to know and feel as though their employer cares for them and their family. When an employer cares this in turn compels the employee to return the favor by being productive. This creates for the employee the will to give your all to the company. When an employer recognizes that alternate work arrangements‚ such as part time work‚ job sharing

“Have we surrendered ourselves to the power of media?” If you want to tell someone a secret‚ you whisper in that person’s ear. But how would you tell vast numbers of people some information? Would you shout it at the top of your lungs? Probably not. You probably would turn to one or more forms of mass communication‚ which include newspapers‚ magazines‚ TV‚ and radio. Using these to distribute information is far more efficient than shouting.

The fog was lifting‚ rising off the glossy pristine surface of the motionless lake. There was an eerie aura about the place‚ bordering on spooky. Something in amongst the shroud of fog moved.

This week’s readings were on structuralism and power. The first text‚ “structure‚ sign and play”‚ was written by Jacques Derrida. In his text Derrida seems to discuss structuralism by arguing that there it is no longer unthinkable to think of structure as one that has no center. He argues that there is no longer a center to culture‚ as would be seen through a fixed frame which would act as the center presence within it. In example‚ during the medieval period‚ God would have been seen as the center

Viewing this documentary was an extremely valuable experience in my understanding of not only some of the material we’ve been discussing in our course‚ but also in developing a much more developed grasp on the full extent of our nation’s ugly history of racism.
