"That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves." -Thomas Jefferson
I disagree very strongly with the idea that the government that governs best, governs least. Government can and should perform some valuable roles, such as providing social support for the poor, unemployed, and elderly. Government can provide its citizens with an education to better themselves, regardless of citizens' income, race, or location. However I do agree to some extent that disciplining one's self is important. Take, for example, the current obesity crisis. Clearly federal, state, and local governments have a role to play in curtailing obesity: requiring companies place nutritional labels on food, improving the school lunch program, cutting subsidizes to farmers that provide crops made into unhealthy processed foods, and expanding physical education programs and access to parks are all appropriate roles for government. But ultimately the individual alone can control how he or she eats and lives. Government...
Males may be cruel in more direct ways than women. But these simple distinctions between the sexes are not absolute. And gender roles have blurred: for example, once upon a time, males used their power 'not to call' a woman as a means of leverage in a relationship. But in today's more equitable world, women are more likely to feel justified in calling a man back! Men can be vindictive and angry; women can be thoughtless and dismissive of a man's feelings.

Human Potential Developing Human Potential When an organization makes the decision to take an individual on as a part of staff, effectively they are making a human capital investment in that individual (Lepak & Snell, 1999). Where the organization pays for the training of, insuring of, and salary to that individual they in turn are expected to perform the tasks within their job description efficiently and accurately thus allowing the organization to
Human Potential "Nothing endures but change." Heraclitus Developing Human Development The "learning organization" is without a template. Writers have tried to give it an ideal form or a template in "which real organizations could attempt to emulate." (Easterby-Smith & Araujo 1999). The learning organization, however, can be best characterized by saying that it's an organization where both individual and collective learning are crucial. Donald Schon has come up with a theoretical framework associating
Healthcare Philosophies of Christians and Shinto Followers Every culture has its own worldview, and its own approach to the health of its people. The Christian philosophy when it comes to healthcare is quite different than the approach that believers in the Shinto faith take. This paper points to the worldviews of each of these faiths, and it uses the available literature to delve deeply into those worldviews and the differences /
Human Resource Management HRM (Human Resource Management) is the advancement and management of workers of an organization. It includes recruitment processes, representation and classification of positions at work. For these to be accomplished, laws governing human capital should be followed, and appropriate strategies should be kept in place including paying attention to the employees. Good Management of human capital, determines the success of many organizations Action training for supervisors Disciplinary training is a
Human Resources Management If what is learned in an important college or university course is not put to use in some pragmatic way -- or understood in the larger social context -- then that learning may be viewed as meaningless time spent. No doubt there is a percentage of students that are simply going through the process of education, working for a degree that will open doors and lead, hopefully, to
Human Nature Throughout history intelligent human beings have tried to better understand exactly what it is that makes people human. Some of the questions that are most frequently asked has to do with a supposed universal human nature, a basic idea which somehow is a part of all people regardless of culture, ethnicity, gender, religion, or whatever other divisive characterization that can be thought of. Human nature refers to the ability
