Biblical Foundation of Conflict Management Professor’s Notes: Conflict. Most of us deal with conflict on a daily basis. Whether it’s navigating a tense situation with a child or spouse, dealing with a tough boss or colleague, or even managing our emotions after we’ve been cut off on a highway, all of us need strategies to deal with the dailyness of life. Porter (1996) has this to say about conflict: “When a person is faced with a situation that threatens their sense of self-worth or value, deep-set assumptions, values, and motivations are usually at the core of conflict and that is why it is important to look deeper underneath the appearance of conflict to see what’s really going on.” For this reason, I believe that perspective taking is so important when dealing with conflict. Many conflict situations can be alleviated, or at least toned down, if we step back and take perspective of the situation. In their book, Leadership Without Easy Answers, Heifitz and Linsky talk about the metaphor of the dance floor and the balcony. It is so important for leaders…

Why I find Watching Football Least Appealing? Some would say entertainment is fun, while others would argue it leisure, but this idea of fun and leisure camouflage into joyous moments to various people. We add salt to distasteful and discomfort live through entertainment.  Modern sources of entertainment are listening to music, watching favorite shows, reading books, going for a picnic, chatting with family, singing, and dancing. The type of entertainment which I find least entertaining is watching football. This essay illustrates why watching football is less compelling. I find watching football less appealing because the team is not a representation of me. Additionally, I do not know the players; they are from different parts of the world. Even if the team wins, I will not benefit from their achievement, then why bother cheering someone who will not put food on my table. You end up being called a spectator and wasting your time. Literary, why would a person watch a bunch of people being paid to exercise? The only people that enjoy watching soccer are those that live vicariously and…

Renaissance-era painting Unique shape attributes of the painting manifest with the genius in Leonardo refusing to paint the distortion created by a transparent orb, hence providing the contemporary world with a standard of differentiating faked duplications. The painting masterpiece by a transparent sphere with twinkling inclusions was Leonardo da Vinci intended to attract the gaze of the audience towards the character looking straight in the eyes (Goodrich, & Zhao, 2019). The Renaissance-era painting completed before the era of Anne of Brittany was intended to communicate symmetry through the positioning of hands, with one raised in blessing and the other palm on the orb, thus maintaining unique ratios. Line attributes in the 26-inch oil-on-panel painting are emphasizing on the symmetry of objects and light interactions off the rock crystals. By having been a master of painting distortions in famous masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, the artistic genius presented a balance of light and colour perception through three bubbles in the painting, hence the inclusions. The crossing on the Renaissance-era robes dominates the space between the raised hand in benediction and…

Activity: Marching Band Among the activities I listed in my application essay, the marching band is my favorite, and I desire to continue engaging in it at the university. The activity was significantly influenced by my high school director, family, and my co-marching band in high school.  The involvement in the marching band had a tremendous impact on how I relate with different people in society. The directors’ fundamental point in marching was based on respect. As such, it helped in building the moral norms in my life. Nonetheless, the marching band has helped in the development of positive relationships with different people in diversity. University is made up of people from different parts of the world. The marching band will thus enable me to relate with them in the way which can promote my education and subsequently, my career path. I also desire to continue with the marching band due to its musicality feature. This is quite relaxing due to music fundamentals used, such as articulation, phrasing, intonation, and tone quality. Nonetheless, the marching band provides room for the…
