In addition, the exclusive economic interest is harmful. It is indisputable that women being paid and contributing to the economy is not helpful nor important. Of course, this is an essentially step in development progress…but it is only one step. Giving these women jobs just so they have jobs removes them completely from the control of resources and the employment process (Beneria & Sen, 2001, 144). It is not about what is best for the women and what they can achieve, just profit. The multiple…
Justice Everyone holds their own definition of what justice is, though the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it, as the process or result of using laws to fairly judge and punish crimes and criminals (Merriam Webster). Although the idea of justice is connotative to good intention, Marcus Tullus Cicero author of The Defense of Injustice, shares a different perspective to the notion of justice. In a persuasive dialogue, Laelius gives Philus the challenge to defend the idea of injustice, in which…
We live in a world in which its population all stand in different places either socially or economically but all race towards success. The definition of success is unique to each individual but so is the place we begin on our way there. In a perfect world we would all have the same access to resources and education but unfortunately we are all born into different families and begin our journey on different platforms, creating a large divide between each other as we aspire for similar things.…
Hierarchy is a generally accepted term and often associated with positions given on the basis of social status—believed to either bring to order and solidity, or destruction and discrimination into society. Either way, it is an inevitable and existent model in society today; From the beginning of time, this model has been embedded within society through organized religions’, governments, educational institutions, occupational positions, in families, in the biological and chemical aspects in the…
My first key principle can relate to resilience in leadership. Daniel Coutu stated that “more than education, more than experience, more than training, a person’s level of resilience will determine who succeeds and who fails” (pl300 p69). I could have the most experience and the best training, but if I am not prepared to persevere and recover from crucibles, then my skills would go to waste. One key point of resilience is that different people bounce back from trials in different ways. People…
Nietzsche and his words have been said to influence the belief system of the Nazi party in Hitler’s Germany. There are several of his works that can appear to back this claim, however, it was never Nietzsche’s argument nor his ambition to create what history unfolded in the Holocaust. But when you have passages presented such as the opening aphorism (257) in part 9 of Beyond Good and Evil, the lines blurry. What is presented to the reader in aphorism 257 of part 9 is an argument that all of…

Too Much Steel for Oahu “Meaningless broken promises from Mufi, Peter and Mayor Kirk Caldwell”, a quote used by a blogger about the development of the rail transit in Hawaii. With the announcement of Rail starting in Hawaii, many local residents had mixed reviews about the development and how it will affect society. Many residents are against the development of rail because of the cost, traffic, and uncertainties that don’t help assure the people that the rail was necessary to build at this…

The major difference between hierarchy and heterarchy is the fact they hierarchy has one single ruler whereas heterarchy has multiple bosses or rulers in the organisation to deal with various matter and sort out problems and take major decisions for the business. The hierarchical organisation is found in majority in the present day and they are bureaucratic in nature contrary to that of heterarchial structure. As stated by Dam and Marcus (2007), the organisations that follow this hierarchical…
