Rational-legal authority

From the beginning of civilization, leaders and their leadership structures have been utilized to organize groups of people. But what makes an effective leader? In Joseph Nye, “The Powers to Lead,” a leader is one who mobilizes their followers to action to achieve shared goals. Therefore, leadership is a relationship between the leader and its followers. Reaching a collective goal is difficult, so leaders use soft and hard power to do so. Soft power is working alongside others in an equal side…

rationality and formality. This leads to a classification of law as rational or irrational according to either their formal or substantive aspects. As a result, a fourfold ideal-typical types of law emerges; formally rational, formally irrational, substantively rational and substantively irrational. According to substantive viewpoint, rationality occurs when law making and law finding reflect general norms that exist outside the contours of legal principles and logical generalizations of law…

Every person has their own perspective of ethics. Each human being has their own set of moral rules, or beliefs, that guide them in their behavior. Though there are quite a few philosophical theories to which a person may rest their convictions, ethical egoism is among the ones most debated. In this paper, I will argue as to why ethical egoism is not a good philosophy to follow. Ethical egoism is the normative theory that it is always morally right to encourage a person's own good. A normative…

In preparation for fractions number talk what I observed was very beneficial for students at the carpet it allowed students to discuss and share with one another. I liked the fact that after a student share students had to give a particular cue saying if they agreed with peer. I thought that was awesome. I also like how she went over what to expect during learning at table and how students will share. So some type of feedback was to be expected even if student did not still quite understand. As…

2.1 The Rational Expectations Hypothesis The rational expectations hypothesis is the hypothesis that, when forming expectations about any variable, people will make optimal use of the available information. This information includes the actual value of certain variables and, more widely, the nature or structure of the world in which people are operating. Let the value a variable ‘y’ takes in period t depend upon, or be a function f (.) of, the value of other variables, x1, x2 and x3 have…

Individualistic society is comprised of a group of independent people that prioritize furthering one’s own self-interests. On the other hand, collectivist societies put society’s well-being over an individuals’. In the novel “Animal Farm” by George Orwell there is a farm taken control by animals and where animals believe they were equal. The two main character’s of “Animal Farm” are two pigs named…

setting of wilderness as well as elaborate metaphors and other figurative language to explore the internal relationship, and sometimes struggle, one has between their instinctive and rational inner selves. Kinnell’s use of figurative language to represent natural phenomena in the poem blurs the line between primitive and rational to produce an introspective exploration of the human experience. Kinnel also highlights how man is both one with nature while also being apart from it. The poem takes a…

One, two, three, four, five, and the list goes on. I had a notebook in the third grade in which I would write numbers from one and beyond. Unfortunately that list was never finished; the fact that one could begin to write numbers from the day they were born to the day they would die and would not even be close to infinity is both scary and fascinating to me. This blew my eight year old mind. It sparked this passion in me to expand my knowledge of numbers, how they work and why they worked. Now…

For this curriculum study, I chose third grade mathematics as my unit of study. As far as my objectives go, I would want my students to walk away from this particular section of fractions with the understanding of what a fraction is, the difference between the components of a fraction such as the numerator and denominator, knowing how to identify how many parts of a whole are shaded in, and knowing how to simplify a fraction. As far as my instructional method, I created an original prezi, which…
