Results- Only Work Environment (ROWE) Results- Only Work Environment (ROWE) is a program that was developed by Judy Thompson and Cali Ressler, former human resource managers at Best buy and the founders of a human resource consultancy. The program focuses on the employee’s output or productivity rather than emphasizing working for many hours as experienced in the traditional workplaces. ROWE provides employees with flexibility for schedules, which results in increased productivity. However, the program cannot work well for people who need constant supervision. ROWE focuses on the output instead of the traditional workplace routine, which insists on long working hours. With ROWE, employees can work from home or anywhere else as long they deliver effectively and efficiently. There are also no set working hours or schedules, but it all depends on individuals. Possible advantages of the program included the following. The first one is increased in productivity. People tend to perform well when they feel they have the freedom to perform their tasks without being monitored all the time. for instance, the productivity percentage at Best Buy increased to 41%…
Jonathan Swift on fate of the poverty-stricken Irish In his modest proposal, Jonathan Swift addressed the sad fate of the poverty-stricken Irish who have to spend their entire time begging in the streets trying to feed their children. Considering the hard-edge economic situations and self-righteous moral stance, Swift advocates that these street families should fatten up their kids and sell them to wealthy British. He argues that children could be sold at the mere age of one, giving low-income families some income, while sparing them the cost of bringing up children. But why would he suggest something as outlandish as this? Swift used satire to make his point. He employed the concept of humor, irony, and exaggeration to ridicule others` ideas. He didn’t support the idea of selling kids as food, but he used the bizarre concept to deliver a moral point that I am going to talk about in this essay. Swift used shockingly literal ways to illustrate the nation’s self-degradation. His idea of feeding children to the wealthy casts a dismal condemnation on the nature relations in the…
discourse community A discourse community refers to a group of individuals who are involved in discussion and communication on a specific issue, topic, or field. A discourse community shares common goals that they set and aim at achieving. A discourse community also has a distinct mechanism of communication, which can either be through phones, meetings, or other communication avenues. A discourse community also shares a certain level of members who share a common belief. Finally, this community has to be attached to the acquired lexis of the group. Konstantin Batygin is a Russian-American artist and a geologist who researches the solar system—widely known for his role in proving the existence of a ninth planet, Konstantin shares two discourse communities. First, Konstantin is a rock band artist, whereby he specializes in this work while pursuing his Bachelor’s Degree at the University of California. Additionally, Konstantin is a Research Scientist on Planetary Sciences he develops the Schrodinger equation alongside his campus friend Gregory P. Laughlin.

“Race” is a social concept, not a biological reality Race can be defined as the grouping of human beings according to shared social or physical qualities into distinct societies. Jefferson Fish, in his article “Mixed Blood,” uses various ways to demonstrate the fact that race is a social concept and not a biological reality. First, he uses the concept of race as an immutable given right. He states that race is just a social classification, but not a biological reality. He goes further and states that people can be categorized based on their body type rather than their skin color (Jefferson, 2016). He proves this by stating that human beings are of the same species, which implies that people from different ethnicity, different geographical areas can mate and produce a fertile offspring. Secondly, Fish demonstrates that there is also a classification of race according to a biological basis. This classification identifies people based on their skin color rather than body form and other variables. Body form and skin color don’t differ from each other. Last, Fish demonstrates the concept of…
Human Resource Strategic Planning Human beings are the most valuable resources that each organization has at its disposal. However, to get the maximum out of the employees, the managers must adopt the right management technique with the organization that aims at giving employees maximum satisfaction. The greatest mistake that most firms make in their organization is to hire the right staff as in the case study provided but fail to match the employees with the jobs that there are highly qualified to perform (Bryson, Edwards, & Van Slyke, 2018). Each organization requires a resource management planning process, which is the process of identifying the right staff that meets the business needs and customer demands (those committed to ensuring organization needs and goals are achieved). Despite the obvious, firms such as the one that Janet has become the new CEO, do not have a strategic human planning process put in place to assist in the recruitment and management of the employees when they are recruited in the organization. Job descriptions are usually preferred in the management of people in the…
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…

APPLICATION: COMPETENCY SELF-ASSESSMENT There are different competencies that define a competent psychologist. The knowledge about the use of these competencies is of great importance for a psychologist willing to gauge their competence. These competencies have some essential elements that help in the competence assessment (Kaslow, Grus, Campbell, Fouad, Hatcher, & Rodolfa, 2009). In the case of my assessment, the first type of competence to asses is knowledge in psychology. This competence may be gauged using the elements of scientific mindedness, scientific foundation of psychology and scientific foundation practice. In my case, I regard myself as a person who applies moderate scientific mindedness and foundation in my psychology practice.
