She sees a younger worker, well-educated, enter the company and immediately take responsibility from her, and feels threatened. Anita would likely have seen Bill's arrival as an opportunity to free Susan up for bigger projects. Her handing responsibility to Bill was supposed to empower Susan, but eventually it morphed into a sense that Bill might be better suited for a role of higher responsibility, something that Susan eventually sensed herself. The underlying thread of the different problems is that Susan lacks self-confidence and does not see herself as a leader. She has framed these situations -- and her performance review -- in a negative light. This reflects an underlying lack of confidence that Susan has not been able to identify in herself. Anita, now that she has moved to the other side of the office, has diminished ability to understand this about Susan...

If they were still having their regulator conversations, Anita might have been in a better position to understand Susan's outlook.
In order to address this situation, Susan needs to focus more on positivity and view herself as an important part of the organization. The tone of Anita's evaluation probably will only reinforce Susan's negativity, but also her sense that she lacks leadership status. Her cultural background is more conservative and deferential. Susan prefers more structure that Anita, which means that where Susan expects to always have a boss, Anita expects Susan to want to take initiative. These cultural differences likely lie at the heart of the way these two view authority relationships, and why there is a misunderstanding between what Anita expects of Susan and what Susan expects of her own role and progress in the organization.

Role of Spirituality in the Treatment of Depression Over the last thirty years, one of the most interesting paradoxes in the study and treatment of depression has been that increased knowledge about the biomedical and genetic causes of the disease has been coupled with a renewed interest in the effect of religion and spirituality on human mental health and well-being.

It is argued that while land tenure data can be instrumental in addressing land-related conflicts, much of the practical value is lost because of inconsistency of information and because information is not readily accessible, or cannot be combined to allow for greater depth of analysis. In practice, this means that policy-makers cannot make immediate use of the information that is available because additional time and expense are required either

Many employers refused to hire women despite governmental regulations, or hired them at much lower rates than their male counterparts. While society was expanding their gender role again, the limitations surrounding this expansion left women confused as to their position in society (Rupp, 74). Even those who supported the new roles accepted them only in a temporary fashion, expected women to return again to their role of homemaker and
