Self and identity Attitudes and attitude change Reflective journal entry Self identity is majorly concerned with answering the question, “who are you?” Furthermore, self identity tries to seek answers on what it means to be who you are. Knowing oneself is important since it relates to our basic values as human beings and it has in impact on the choice that we make in important aspects of our lives such as relationships as well as careers. Few people get to choose their identity and simply they internalize the values of their parents or even dormant cultures such as the pursuit of money, power or even self appearance. Unfortunately, such values are often not aligned to ones’ authentic identity. This leads most people who do not know their self identity to live unfulfilled lives. On the other hand, fulfilled people are those who live a life which is true to their values as individuals and such people often go ahead to pursue meaningful goals in their lives. Not knowing one’s self identity often leads to uncertainty about what an individual wants…

Servant Leadership solution Introduction Greenleaf describes servant leaders as those individuals who go beyond their own self-interest to serve his followers by enabling them to grow in a professional and personal way (Spears, 2005). He further offers that a servant leader is that one who is a servant first and that it all starts with the feeling that the one just wants to serve and that is their major priority before anything else. Thereafter, the leader will develop the conscious choice which will make him want to lead (Ebener & David, 2010). The actual difference lies in the care that the leader takes which is in making sure that the highest priority of other people is fully taken care of (Allen et al, 2016). This kind of leadership is tested along the premise of whether those people who are served grow as persons and achieve their utmost happiness and if the persons leading are able to become servants themselves. This discussion looks at servant leadership as exhibited by Henry Ford. Henry Ford exhibits many servant leadership qualities which made him…
American transcendentalism American transcendentalism is precisely a form of practice in which the world of the specification of common sense and the world of facts is contemporary compared to the categories of imagination and the real world of ideas. The main reason for this exchange is to make life better by lifting human above the struggles and the conflicts that sometimes weighs down our souls. Any time we manage to break these chains away, our souls always rise to the heightened experience of union and freedom with the good. According to Robert Frost, The Not Taken, Self Reliance by Emerson and the Dead Poet Society by Tom Schulman and Starring Robin, it is clear that transcendentalism it’s not harmful by nature. However, too much of something is dangerous when it is taken into excess, and this is extremely easy with the transcendentalism through misinterpretation. Therefore, it is right to say that the ideas behind transcendentalism inherently are harmful when no limit is taken. From the relevant information acquired from the above authors, the lives of people in towns and the cities…

Huberman and Sweezy’s Reading response Responding to questions 2 and 5 from Huberman and Sweezy’s Reading Huberman and Sweezy’s reading shows key differences between socialism and capitalism. One of these contrasts is in the ownership of means of production. In a capitalist society, private owners hold power to control how these means of production are run and are the ones who take the bigger share of profits in comparison to the laborers and workers in these production lines. Socialism, however, advocates for common ownership of these means of production resultantly ensuring an equal distribution of the profits made from producing goods. Another difference between capitalism and socialism is seen in the establishment and divisions of social classes. A capitalist society enhances the divide between the wealthy class and the poor class. With its advocacy for private ownership of property, capitalism seeks to benefit only a few elites who own the means of production, increasing the gap between the rich and poor. Socialism, on the other hand, bridges the gap between the less privileged and the rich as its collective element…
Hydroelectric power plants Entry 1 What effects does hydropower have on climate change? Are the effects positive or negative? According to Berga, construction of human-made reservoirs upstream leads to variations in levels of water flow downstream. These variations create disturbances over a long section of a given river. The decrease in surface runoffs downstream may result in climatic changes. These changes occur because the hydrological cycle is incomplete without the evaporation of water. Therefore, the reduced downstream flow may lead to reduced rainfall in the area. Studies carried out on The Mekong River Basin in South East Asia reveal that many people have raised concerns about the fluctuations in downstream river flow. Hydropower has led to reduced production of greenhouse gases, which are the major causes of environmental pollution. These gases also contribute to global warming, resulting in climate change. It is a suitable substitute for other energy sources such as coal and thermal power, which produce high amounts of greenhouse gases. In hydropower, the water turns turbines, producing mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is then transmitted to the generators,…
