Critiques: Vroom’s theory does not directly contribute to the techniques of motivating people. It is of…

Germany: A Land of Tradition and Contrasts Organization and discipline are evident in everyday life for Germans. Public transportation operates like clockwork; traffic lights are synchronized, even retail stores are subject to Ladenschlussgesetz (store-closing law) (Somers 20).

Since the main focus is about what motivated the person to pursue a career in law enforcement, I would began with a similar question such as, “What encouraged you to become an officer of the law?” Also, I would ask, “What are some situations that made you glad about your decision to become an officer?” I am also asking prospective police officers so this question would be worded differently for them.

A private industry survey of 179 Fair Trade farmers from Central America and Mexico came to the conclusion that more than half of their families still go hungry for several months of each year. The wage of $1.55/lb leaves the farmer only 50¢/lb after the fees, taxes, and expenses. Antonio admits that without the higher wage provided by Fairtrade, he would be unable to continue to grow coffee but it still is not enough to keep him out of debt.
