Conflict, Power, and Influence in Interpersonal Communication

Mr. Clark did the same thing any good OD practitioner would do. He spot out the bad seeds, and removed them from spoiling the whole. This allowed the students to feel safe, and earn the trust of Mr. Clark. Mr. Clark does a great job with his leadership skills by instantly letting everyone know his rules, and what the consequences will be if you break those rules. He discusses to students and teachers alike his goals for the school and what he expects out of everyone. Mr. Clark is very strong

Yelling, name calling and humiliation, these are just some of the things that Joe Clark had done to transform teachers who were once looked down upon by students to people that they now look up to. Through harsh methods Joe Clark was able to change teacher that once had no control over their students to people who are now looked up to, but in-order to change them he had to do more than just give them respect they had to earn it and work hard to earn it by changing how they behaved with their students. From the evidence shown it can be said that Joe Clark like his teachers to act quickly and on command thus preparing them to act quickly without notification if something were to happen in the school that would require their immediate attention. From one of Joe Clark’s quotes he states that, “Discipline establishes the format, the environment for academic achievement to occur”, meaning that without a firm hand of authority in a high position of a school, teachers will not act to their full potential because they will feel

First, there is lack of information and knowledge on the right police training philosophy, learning approach and training program objectives (CALEA, 2010). This lack of knowledge has immense negative effects on police training, especially because it affects not only senior commanders of police departments but also management, police trainers and other staffs. The other ingredient to police training that lacks is community understanding and support for police training programs (Mitrani, 2014). It is found out that the communities that are served by officers do little to support or appreciate post-academy training programs, which have numerous benefits to communities (CALEA, 2010). For instance, post-academy and field training for newly posted officers helps in the utilization of individual and department creativity, stakeholder collaboration, and effective problem-solving skills and techniques that would improve communal safety and

According to Adler and Proctor (2011), it talks about responding to transgressions and some examples to that would be coming to an acceptance, rejection and discussion. In the movie “Inside out” we discover how all the emotions try to steer the way to control the little girl “Riley” mind but one specific character by the name of “Joy” is basically the one in charge of them all and tries to take on more of the responsibility in situations. Throughout the movie something happens to Riley and her emotions

The students all took a practice test and only thirty-three percent of the students have passed and the states minimum average is seventy-five percent. Throughout the school year, the students work effortlessly with Mr. Clark along with their school teachers prepare for the real test. Mr. Clark’s crazy and wild antics start to get to the students and they begin to respect him even more for it. They begin to see that he is only doing this with all of their best interests in mind. One of the students who was expelled’s mother complained about the way Mr. Clark ran things at his school and got the mayor involved. After Mr. Clark is found with the chains on the door, which is illegal and a fire safety hazard, and was arrested. All of the students came down to the Board of Education in Paterson and basically protested and ranted on how they wanted Mr. Clark to be released and return to his duties as principal. Eastside High’s assistant principal Mrs. Barrett claims that Mr. Clark was not the right choice to serve as principal of Eastside. But the students all say in rebuttal how Mr. Clark cares for them like no other and how he has done so much good for them that they will not accept anyone besides Mr. Clark. Soon after, Mr. Clark was released and good news was received. More than enough students

Clark frequently uses his position as school principal to convince the students and teachers to work hard. In his first speech, he starts it by telling the students to behave and put down their cigarettes. This would establish his authority as the principal. His audience would then listen to him more because he has established his authority as the head of the school, which is someone that everyone would respect and obey. Clark also uses ethos when he instructs the teachers to set up extra reading courses on Saturday. When a teacher asks how that will be done, Clark instructs them to come in to the student’s homes and get their parents to let their children come, or even come with them. By solving the problem and giving a clear plan of what to do, Clark would show he is someone who knows what he is doing. People usually follow the instructions of qualified people, and the Eastside High teachers and students are no different. They would listen to Clark’s calls on what to do and to work harder because they know he sees the big picture and knows what everyone should do. Finally, Clark throughout all his speeches frequently brings up the fact that the students will end up failing and locked out of the American dream if they do not put in effort to succeed. In those moments, Clark shows that he is someone who knows a lot about life. A person who has experience about life choices would be a person that people would listen to for advice on decisions and

The first way Joe Clark persuades his students and coworkers is by using ethos. Clark starts off by explaining to his staff that in order for a real, positive, change everyone needs to work more efficiently and work together. “The only way we’ll get anything done is to get everyone involved,” states Clark. He also demonstrates that education is not only about the students, the teachers also play a major role. “But that is not their failure. I don’t blame them (the students). The failure is yours. That’s right yours. How many hours do you spend preparing your lesson plans? How often do you stay after school to give those children--the ones you know need it--the extra help they require?” Joe announces to his educators to make them realize that they need to work along with their students for an impact to be made. Clark also puts an importance on making sure all his scholoars know that no matter what their differences are they’re all equal. After making the white kids stand up Clark points out, “And they’re the same as all of you. They’ve got no place to go. If they had, they would have abandoned us a long time ago like everybody else did.” By saying this Clark tries to empower the kids and get them to perform with one another more efficiently, Forcing them to observe past each other's differences so they can

In the article, “Police Academy Socialization: Understanding the Lessons Learned in a Paramilitary Bureaucratic Organization”, Chappell and Lanza-Kaduce discuss the positive and negative effects that occur with type of recruit training, as well as, the outcomes of transitioning towards community policing training. The paramilitary structure entails hard physical training, performing under stress, defense tactics, the use of force, and mastering weapons skills. This paramilitary form of training focuses on being “able to mold them to accept the organizational culture”, drilling recruits on the basics, while preparing them for the demandingness of the job (Chappell, 189). There are numerous pros, which include a prominent chain of command, understanding

Another way that Joe Clark motivated the students and staff of Eastside to work harder is by using the appeal of Logos, or statistics and logic. A powerful example of when Mr. Clark used logos is when he had a meeting with all of the staff and made 70% of them put their hands up to signify the 70% of students who failed the exam. This really made the staff really think that they can make a big difference in these kids’ lives. Another example of when Joe Clark used logos to get the students motivated is when he made a speech before they took the exam. He made the

Most new recruits come into the law profession as idealistic young men and women with the goal of changing the world. These views soon begin to change as the job becomes more and more consuming and they accommodate the job parameters that are placed upon them. As discussed in the book, more and more situations begin to be viewed as bullshit and the more people they encounter are viewed as assholes. The average person is not exposed to the situations and people that law enforcement must deal with daily, and have a difficult time understanding the stress that is placed on officers. The perception the officers have of the world begin to changes due to the everyday encounters they experience. This leads officers to begin to withdrawal from society and loved ones, ending with a cycle of depression and isolation. They begin to place more of their attention on the job and forget about anything and everyone outside of that. This, to most agencies, is overlooked due to the fact that the

The chapter opens with a case—Robert F. Kennedy High School—depicting the many problems facing David King, the new principal of a deeply troubled urban high school. A school that opened with high hopes only a few years ago now finds itself mired in conflict and dissatisfaction. King’s first meeting with his new administrative staff produces a blow-up in which a male housemaster physically threatens the chair of the English department. By the end of the case, the situation feels overwhelming. Is there hope? The authors follow

Cleaning up the school, tearing the cages down in the cafeteria, and teaching the school song on demand is only of the few thing he is showing these kids that they have a bright future and the can succeed with just a few pushes and they will be set for life. He kicked out the older kids from school so that the kids who actually belong in that school can actually get and education and can succeed. The reader like me and you can tell that Joe Clark cares as a principle and a friend at the school is he truly care as a person and talks to his students like a human being. Louisa Diaz wished to be in shop instead of a cooking class sense she has been cooking since she was eleven.

Ways in which things in this scene were not handled effectively. In this NCIS episode a rival of agent Gibbs resurfaces Sergel, holding a truly personal vendetta against agent Gibbs and the NCIS colleagues. In one of the scenes agent Gibbs and his ex-wife were both sent text to meet one another at a specific location, this scene shows us a lack of interpersonal communication conflict. Chapter 9 dark side of interpersonal communication, which is defines it as “Interactions that are challenging, difficult, distressing, and problematic in nature.” Agent Gibbs and his ex-wife failed to collaborate with one another to confirm that the text they both had received simultaneously, was indeed a legitimate text, not a ploy to set up agent Gibbs and

The first word is strict. Joe Clark was strict with his students in the movie,especially those who smoke and fight in the school.He made a strict system to suppress violent crime. The second word is careful. I was impressed by the plot of movie that his concern for female student Cola Lisi.He was a father as his students.He loves them,so are they. The third word is equal. Joe Clark always exchanges with students on an equal basis.Sometimes they are more like friends than teachers and students.

little to no power. The different individual perceptions of power within a conflict can affect communication.
