types of leadership attitudes and behavior theories that are discussed below. They are Theory X and Theory Y, the Pygmalion effect, and the self-concept theory. The three leadership theories attempt to bring an explanation as well as predict the behavior and performance according to a leader’s attitude towards followers or employees.

Firstly, in medical situations, there is the Placebo Effect where a doctor’s lies without harmful intentions are known to cause actual improvements in patients. Secondly, according to the Pygmalion Effect, lying through overestimations and expectations makes people have pride and belief in their ability so that they achieve their goals and sometimes exceed, despite their limited ability. In the area where lying is needed to improve relationship…

men naturally but social values and traditions are the obstacles that prohibit women from getting their rights. I agree with Duffy’s view of the relationship between both men and women, as flawed relation from, and I will use her poems Penelope, Pygmalion Bride, Little Red Cap, Eurydice, and Circe as evidence. Women are always marginalized, and their feelings are neglected…

dream Gods for the truth, where she saw his death. The next day she came to the water and found his body, when they both became birds who flew off, showing that when love is true it will be forever. In the story of “Pygmalion and Galatea” it tells of a young sculptor named Pygmalion who hated women and vowed to never marry a women. He created a sculpture that would be the prettiest women anyone has seen, but the Goddess Venus wanted to help him find love. He quickly fell in love and learned…

This myth displays the fact that trust is a great part of a relationship. Without trust in your partner, then the relationship can never really mature and grow. Trust is something Cupid believes should be largely integrated into his relationship with Psyche. The idea of trust. The Greek gods largely integrate trust into many concepts/myths and in Cupids mind, he believes that a relationship can’t be built on doubt which is why he ran from Psyche when she had managed to see him. This side of…

Just like in “Pygmalion and the Statue”, many Greek myths thoroughly describe female qualities in very poetic terms. Though their stories involving women are often very demeaning, it does showcase the Greeks’ sentimentality and attention to tiny details, which helped them…

How the World and Mankind Were Created 76-93 Zeus *Anger *Fury *Powerful *Leader of all *Father of Athena *Siblings, Hestia, Hades , Hera , Poseidon and Demeter *Parents are Cronus and Rhea Man vs. Man Zeus vs. Crocus This myth shows the importance of being honest no matter the outcome. I feel that it is important because fate is an inescapable force. The power of fate. The Greeks gods felt that everything that surrounded them or occurred was a result of this force. They believed that…

The texts show that in ancient times the gods were…

actual list of habits that Covey is going to share with us later in the book. I identified four main points that Mr. Cover talked about. The first one is the “Pygmalion Effect” (Covey, 1989, 2004). Covey then talked about Character Ethic and Personality Ethic. Then he discussed paradigm shifts. I understood Covey to say that the Pygmalion Effect is that if you expect something to be a certain way then it is or will be that way. This would also be called a self-fulfilling prophecy. I…
