Obstacles In The Workplace

My family makes a sufficient amount of money to take care of home necessities, but we only make so much money that we consider higher education a luxury. In addition, growing up without my father I have had to overcome many challenges including a lack of confidence and self love. Over time I have overcome these obstacles and I am proud of the young man I am today. I still find that I am my biggest critic, but instead of getting down on myself, I push myself harder to grow. Making mistakes is something I have accepted and have come to understand in order to get closer to my objectives both onstage and off. Everyday is an opportunity to learn, I make the choice challenging myself and grow as a student and as an artist. My background of growing

Throughout a person's life, they are faced with different obstacles, and different challenges of all different types. My life in particular has been full of up and downs used to be related especially towards my social/high school life.Everybody has goals and dreams they set for themselves, but they don't always try to achieve them. People might try to, but they sometimes will have obstacles in their way, stopping them. The only thing to do is overcome the obstacles. I have many obstacles I have to overcome and accomplish in order to achieve this dream. My first obstacle will be to do well in my classes at my highschool and after graduation, apply to college. I know l have to study and work extremely hard to accomplish this goal. Since there

Reflecting on all the times in my life that I have had to overcome obstacles there is a long list of mishaps, lessons learned and many other adventures. The top one of the list is going through US Navy boot camp, which consisted of basically being torn down and built back up. In short you are told that the way you have always learned things from as early age is the wrong way and there is only one way the Navy way.

42.5 million or 1 out of every 5 people in the U.S alone have a mental disability. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck has two main characters which names are George and Lennie. Lennie has a serious mental disability although no one knows what.  After Lennie's aunt died George promised to take care of Lennie when she was not around. George stuck to his promise but that doesn't mean he wanted to. Dealing with someone who has a disability can sometimes be rough. George has been with Lennie for awhile and knows alot about him and his disability yet it still hard for George. That did not stop George from taking care of Lennie and following with his needs. George does not need Lennie because Lennie annoys George.

Not every disability is the result of physical injury, like a broken bone or blindness. Minorities faced significant limitations during this period, personified mainly by Crooks, the stable buck. He is seen as inferior and acknowledges that he isn’t respected “‘Cause I’m black. They play cards in there, but I can’t play because I’m black” (Steinbeck 68). Sadly, he’s right. Besides a select few others, which include two other disabled people, he is routinely talked down to by his peers. His job is given to him because of its low status among other careers, and if Crooks went anywhere else, other employers would probably either turn him away or provide him another similar job. In the end, Steinbeck’s message is that in general, even though the majority of people don’t have physical problems, many are still bound by stereotypes, racism and other forms of discrimination due to social norms. That being said, Steinbeck took quite a risk at the time by writing against these norms in Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck tells the reader that even those who are entirely innocent or can’t control something like their gender and race or do not deserve the bounds are given to them, only because of the sheer coincidence of their

The 1930’s was a time period in which discrimination played a vital role in the lives of minorities. In the 1930’s, men were in search for jobs on the ranches and women were generally working inside the house. Although the 1930’s seems pretty far back, discrimination still occurs in society today and can either be intentional or nonintentional. There are several different forms of discrimination: racial, disabled, age, and sexual. Any type of discrimination is harmful to the individual and often times leaves them feeling alienated and lonely. All of these types of discrimination are seen in the characters of John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men. Past history of discrimination has influenced him to display it in his novel. Each person’s type

In contrast, the real world consisted of cruelty that was not seen by many of the public eye, yet Steinbeck seemed to of captured the hardships of people who were mistreated. People with disabilities, people of different races and women were three large categories that discriminated against. A major similarity between the book and real world overlap on the topic of tragedy. For example, Crooks is separated and not respected, while in the 1930’s blacks were ripped from the jobs for whites, lynched and lived with racial violence. No group was hit harder than the African Americans during the era of the Great Depression, resulting in a devastating way of life. Furthermore, a little over a quarter of women in America worked in the 1930’s and their pay was about half of what men made. Curley’s wife did not even have the chance to work. In addition, some women turned to prostitution to make a living. The disabled weren’t understand and nobody knew how they handle them. Even though people with disabilities are equal to everyone else they are still today treated with disrespect and made fun of. Prejudice obscured and ruined the lives of specific people in the 1930’s. Different or not, everyone in this world should be treated with love, for nobody should suffer to the point of

In Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck proves that those who are different will almost certainty suffer from the presence of social disparity. People who are mentally disabled are often looked down upon and denied opportunities. When Lennie, a mentally challenged character, says “George…I ain’t got mine [work cards] I musta lost it,” George replies with “You never had none, you crazy bast**d… Think I’d let you carry your own work card?” (Steinbeck 5). Clearly, George does not trust Lennie due to Lennie’s mental instability. As a result, Lennie is not given the opportunities of a regular person such as the right to carry his own work card. However, even people who are capable of doing everyday activities will also be looked down upon due their race. An employee at a farm tells George that “the boss [gives] the stable buck hell and when he’s mad [because] … the stable buck’s a

Discrimination lives eternally within the tinted shadows of every creature’s life. It never leaves us. Have you ever been a victim of any type of discrimination? If you have, you should probably understand the strong negative feelings the victims will experience. This theme of discrimination is very significant in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Throughout the book, there are constant forms of discrimination present, broadly based on race, disability, and age. Even though there are countless occasions, both in the book and in our daily lives where discrimination does not seem very present, it can still, at any moment, jump back into the face of our characters in the lesser of a moment.

How does one survive in an area where every disability can hurt you in the long run? In John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, the setting is a ranch in Salinas, California . Throughout the novel, some of the characters struggle with the problem of their disabilities denying them the same opportunities the average man at the ranch has. Steinbeck uses characterization to illustrate the theme of survival of the fittest.

How the marginalization of the Intellectually Disabled has changed for the better In John Steinbeck’s novella Of Mice and Men, which is set during the great depression in California, two migrant workers from weed head to Soledad with hope to get jobs working on a ranch. Like many of these workers Lennie and George had dreams to retire and live in a home on a farm that they can call their own. John Steinbeck is constantly pushing the marginalization of the novel's characters and strategically put all of them in crooks segregated room. One character in particular who is marginalized is Lennie because he has an intellectual disability which causes the other characters to treat him as inferior. This makes Lennie feel segregated from the

“No change can come if those who are impacted the most by discrimination are not willing to stand up for themselves.” (Salbi). In 1930’s America, discrimination was extremely evident in the way that major groups in society were treated. Racial discrimination, or racism, was a major problem as tensions were still high between many white and black Americans leading up to the civil rights movement. Discrimination against those with special needs was seen because most of society didn’t understand what mental illness is, and didn’t know how to deal with these types of people. Gender discrimination, or sexism, was at a high due to the way women were treated by men at the time, and what was expected of women. In the novel Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck explores these types of discrimination in the 1930’s, and how they were experienced by the characters Crooks, Lennie, and Curley’s wife.

Communication is the conveyance and flow of ideas from one person to another. The exchange of information takes place through letters, words, symbols and nonverbal behaviors. It involves the transmission of ideas from the sender to the receiver. Communication is effective only if the receiver fully understands the transmitted information. Many problems and failures occur in organizations due to poor communication. Objective and goals fail due to misunderstandings in the organization. Effective communication provides a chain of understanding to all participants in the organizational framework. It promotes the flow of information both vertically and horizontally.

Situations such as job promotions can cause fear and stress. When someone is promoted at their job, especially to a leadership role, obstacles appear that seem impossible. Speaking from experience, the stress it causes can lead to uncertainty, fear, exhaustion, and jealousy. It is important to know how to overcome these hurdles for the sake of the company and your own well-being.

There are several employers that demand that their employees adhere to a dress code. This requirement is deemed necessary to promote a positive image for the company and its customers. Companies, however, have certain guidelines that they must abide by to refrain from being confronted with a legal matter.
