Jeff Mckeleher's Victimization

Improved Essays
Victimization is where somebody feels they’ve received unfair treatment due to making a complaint or been associated with somebody who has made a complaint (Bergen, 2002, pg. 244). A good example of that is when Susan Finn repeatedly files complaints to Jeff McKeleher, the vice president for Human Resources who brushes the complaints off and falsely reassures Susan that Dr.Khalsa actions will be investigated (HRM Literature). As vice president of Human Resources, Jeff McKeleher failed his Radiation Oncology staff and chose to ignore and reprimand Dr. Khalsa for his inappropriate words and behavior toward the poor, female, and Hispanic patients (Bergen, 2002, pg. 244). In this case, the Eastern New Mexico Center is a neutral employment

The decline in violence has not been steady, it has not brought rates of violence to a complete halt, and it is not guaranteed to continue. But in this essay, Steven Pinker persuades us that is a persistent historical development visible on scales from millennia’s to years, from wars and genocides, to the treatment of children and animals.…

    An example of this tactic involves trying to exclude the victim from having any friends or any acquaintances that they could possibly rely on. In Beth’s relationship with Sam, Beth is constantly struggling with being isolated and having no one to rely on while being away from her family (Sipe, 2013). Sam makes matters worse when he moves Beth and the children into a house far away from the city, while also preventing Beth from having a vehicle to use (Sipe, 2013). The last category in the Power and Control Wheel is the use of emotional abuse, which is seen as psychological abuse towards the victim (Robinson, 2013). This tactic is used as a way to lower a victims worth by using name calling, humiliations, and making them feel guilty for things that are not their fault (Robison, 2013).…

    Sandra Lee Bartky published “On Psychological Oppression,” in which she describes virtually any and all aspects of psychological oppression. She most poignantly described female psychological oppression in the passage "consider now a second example...ritual of subjugation" (Bartky 29). This passage highlights sexual objectification and the idea that women “must be made to know,” that they “must be made to see [themselves] as [others] see [them]” (29). This is incredibly important because when one is made to know, they are forced into altered perceptions of themselves; they can no longer see themselves the way they want to, but rather the way the perpetrators do. By doing so, Bartky illustrates how society’s fragmentation and sexual objectification…

    Steven Pinker’s “Violence Vanquished” is an article that focuses on the decline of violence since the start of the twenty-first century.

    As a response to years of domination and human rights movement, the phrase “blaming the victim” was coined by William Ryan in the book he published in 1971 (Schoellkopf,2012). Many people have adopted the phrase including supporters of crime victims, specifically rape victims. In the Old Testament concerning tragic events, various instances of victim blaming can be found considering blaming the victim as sinners (Robinson as cited in Schoellkopf, 2012). Victim blaming is one of the unfortunate consequences of a belief in a just world. According to Schoellkopf (2012), it is an occurrence that has been recently recognized as a dynamic used in maintaining status quo and empowering criminals.…

    It is 2017. In this modern day and age, there are few individuals who believe that women should not be viewed as equals to men. While there is not reams of active men in the feminist movement, Michael Kimmel points out that there is in fact “a growing number of profeminist men around the country,” (Kimmel 568, 2004). Men commonly do not understand feminism, but should those men who do be allowed to call themselves feminists? I agree with Kimmel when he answers no men cannot be feminists due to lack of experience and ever-present benefiting from systematic patriarchy, and should instead use the term pro-feminist.…

    The Mental Health of Men Introduction Throughout history, men have been seen as superior in all ways to women, and this harmful stereotype still plays a role in today’s society. However, it wasn’t until recent times that the idea of mental disorders and health has been feminized and men’s mental health has largely been ignored (1). When referring to mental disorders and health, this is an encompassing term that refers to both affective and behavioral disorders that are patterned in both men and women (1). Although there has been some debate throughout history about empirical mental differences between men and women, it is proven that both sexes are capable of being diagnosed with the same mental disorders. Male and female victims…
