1. Effective Team is key to success not groups. 2. There are many writers on the subject of team working. However, most models of what constitutes an effective team boil down to a relatively small set of aspects which the project leader can focus on. We will consider five important characteristics of an effective team. 1) The team has clear goals, a strong sense of direction and effective leadership. 2) The team members are clear about their roles and responsibilities and skill set they…

Through the comparison of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry Sonnets from the Portuguese (1850) and F Scott Fitzgerald’s modernist novella The Great Gatsby (1926) it becomes evident that the presentation of universal themes is intrinsically linked to the composer’s context, purpose and audience. Whilst both texts convey love’s ability to impact on one’s identity and present notions of a woman in love, as a result of their starkly contrasting contexts, purposes and audiences; Browning’s…

unfavorably affect safety and quality of care. Moreover, healthcare organizations are struggling with an ongoing nursing shortage, which is projected to grow in the near future based on nurses retiring (Center for American Nurses, 2015) According to the American Nurses Association (2015), lateral violence is one of the main reasons nurses leave or plan to leave the profession; negative effects, such as (a) decreased job satisfaction, (b) reduced organizational commitment, (c) decreased personal…

Without knowing my ethnicity, you'd be certain that I was a white male if you heard the way I spoke. Being raised in a mostly white neighborhood has caused me to speak in a very articulate fashion and behave in the same manner as the others around me. In pursuit of a better education, I started my first year at Michigan Math and Science Academy in the 7th grade. Unlike the other public schools I’ve attended before 7th grade, the student body at MMSA is predominately black. After being in mainly…

Schools in Florida are segregating boys from girls, and creating separate schools for each gender. Personally I would not like to go to a boys only school. Because if we got separated from girls we wouldn't be able to find a good partner, since you don't really know girls good. We would also be less experienced when it comes to socializing with girls. When the time arrives to talk to a female we will not know what to say to them, since we haven't talked to girls previously, and thus would…

important Canons, in my opinion, would be (a) the primary responsibility of police officers and organizations is the protection of citizens by upholding the law and respecting the legally expressed will of the whole community and not a particular party or clique (b) in their private lives, police officers will behave in such a manner that the public will “regard (the officer) as an example of stability, fidelity, and morality.” It is necessary that police officers that police officers conduct…

aim at dozens of his fellow students and faculty. This was long before the media frenzy surrounding the Columbine High massacre of 1999 paraded school shootings firmly into the American psyche – and for Whitman’s actions, there were no videogames, cliques, or Marilyn Manson to blame. He was not original: “A long line of American mass murderers preceded Charlie Whitman, and a longer line came after…” (Franscell 164). However, as Gary Lavergne notes: “The Whitman story is enduring because it was…

of the high school, but she soon learns how to navigate the social scene from Janis Ian and Damien, a duo of low social status. Soon after meeting Janis and Damien, Cady is noticed by and eventually recruited into the most well-known clique, the Plastics. The clique is made up of Regina George, Gretchen Weiners, and Karen Smith, all of whom have high social status, and from them Cady is taught even more about the social expectations at North Shore. When Janis realizes Cady’s position in the…

watching the film “Mean Girls”, there are some realistic aspects which can be applied to an actual high-school scenario. Though, most of the social context is purely based off of Hollywood creation, which allows for larger drama within and between cliques. Furthermore, there are many aspects which must be considered in comparing this fictional society to an actual high school scenario. This would include agents of socialization, social institutions, primary and secondary groups, and many other…

used the first seventeen years of my life in an attempt to satiate my world curiosity, from its fundamental laws to the rudimentary values prevalent in even the most untouched cultures. Socially, I have friends in all the conventional high school cliques, whether it be the jocks, the nerds, the popular kids, the “bad-boys”, the performers, you name it, I have friends within it. While I am a member of many different groups, I do not identify with one in particular. Instead, being a participant in…
