The Is Human Nature?

The western way of life aided the individual, and was much more than a lawless frontier. Westerns serve as romances of the great frontier, reminiscing on the progress and opportunity both the individual and nation had. Westerners were faced with a new opportunity bearing uncertainty and a vast importance placed upon individualism, and the principles of human nature affected the outcomes of western law, society, and government. Human nature guided the western way of life and served as the backbone of various aspects of the land seen in the laws and government. Human nature is revealed within the state of nature. The West was nothing more than a constant state of nature, which represented a state of perfect freedom and equality for westerners.

In Genesis the word of God leads humanity in the direction of self preservation, urging them to procreate, to ”Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 9:1), and to minimize hostility and violence among people. As Freud asserted, “Besides the instinct to preserve living substance and join it into ever larger units, there must exist another, contrary instinct seeking to dissolve those units and bring them back to their primeval, inorganic state” (Freud 77). Genesis exemplifies the struggle between the two opposing human instincts, with God acting as a moderator between them. Forms of justice are put into place in an attempt to control these drives, one example being the proclamation that “Whoever sheds the blood of a human, by a human shall that person’s blood be shed” (Genesis 9:6). The ethics and laws that develop throughout Genesis seek to “prevent the crudest excesses of brutal violence” but are unable to control “the more cautious and refined manifestations of human aggressiveness” (Freud 70). Since they cannot be completely eradicated, the scriptures instead play into the more negative aspects of human nature, especially narcissism, and manipulate them into a force for conservation rather than annihilation.

Human nature by essence has been the cause of many entrepreneurial paths, all follow to known the essence itself behind of what we conceive as life. Moreover it’s righteous description and abstract content, that many great man has humbly studied and that for centuries have made a path closely enough to the understanding of it, yet far from the light, it seems to be and unsolvable question that gives us a “Raison d'être” to our existence in this world.

Conflicts such as James Deal and David Ngyuyen, in the workplace can lead to hurt feelings and may mean team members, have to work in a hostile environment. Whether this rumor is true or not, the outcome of spreading it can be hurtful. Managers, have a responsibility to try to control the spread of rumors in a workplace; this is to ensure that the work environment is a positive place for all team members. This may seem to be an overwhelming task. Understanding the origins of rumors and why people start them in the first place can help managers control the spread of rumors. Rumors are often caused by conflict due to a lack of communication in the work environment, ignorance, and unhealthy competition between team members.

In a metaphor, the evolution of civilization is in many ways similar to the evolution of flight. A long story made brief – both required multiple attempts, before they were able to function sustainably. Just as the engineers in the big firms which produce the machines – Airplanes and Helicopters – used for flight, are constantly attempting to improve upon their products, we as members of our respective societies are always looking for better, faster and cheaper ways to sustain ourselves. Civilization requires three main ‘materials’ if you will; Politics – the role of the state and political organization, the spokesperson promoting the idea that might is right, Economics – the production, exchange and economic organization of society. The

I recently attended a Dave Ramsey EntreLeadership seminar in which Mr. Ramsey discussed many of the keys to his organization’s success. One activity which will not be tolerated is gossiping. He explained if someone is gossiping, a warning is given, next time, termination is possible. Such swift action and intolerance of gossip is a form of organizational socialization by which norms and behaviors are learned (Kinicki & Fugate, 2016, p. 502).

Throughout the Ethnographic research Project there have been many themes that have come and the first one that seems significant to this group of people, is communication and the idea of gossip. Throughout the observations, I have seen this at least every time because of the job they have and what they do, it even tends to build up sometimes also. For example, “Logan and Larissa were both working and they started talking about how the manager’s office was very messy at the moment, Larissa agreed with him, then she started commented about how most likely her hours will be cut into half of what they are right now.” However, this seems very insignificant, it is something actually very important because it seemed in this instance the gossip grew

However, both accepted that such behavioral events have contributed to the discomfort in working together and could possible affect work evironment and output. Both acknowledged that prior discussion with previous supervisors have improved work output. It however did not improve work relationships and behavior. Both deny personally being confronted with negative behavior but instead, situations were due to presence of other staff members who have “hush-hush” or gossips around.

According to Wickham’s writing, gossip is an essential part of socializing in humans. He argues that gossip determines the individual’s placement in society; it is very telling as to what groups a person does and does not belong to. He provides many examples of the kinds of things discussed and how the information shared varies depending on the relationship status of the gossipers and how these choices and actions will impact the relationship and, therefore, the individual’s status in the group. Furthermore, gossip is a means of sharing information. Regardless of the intent and content of the gossip, it moves quickly, can assist in determining the credibility of the source, and can solidify or break down social groups. What’s more, gossip

Curiosity is an innate characteristic of humans. Why are we here? How did life start? What happened at the beginning of time? How does everything fit together? These are seminal questions that plagued our ancestors and currently plague us. Answering these seemingly impossible questions is the role of science, specifically physics, in humanity. At the beginning of the quest to understand the universe in its entirety was Aristotle and his Aristotelian physics. While in the future Aristotelian physics would turn out to be completely incorrect, his original ideas and theories were paramount in the development of modern science, and are evident in a wide array of fields. However, it was not until humanity accepted the flaws in Aristotelian physics that humanity made any progress toward more fully understanding the laws of the universe. While Aristotelian physics was entirely wrong in a multitude of ways, it was still needed to form a basis for the modern method of discovery, as well as a shift from logic-based theories to observation-based theories. Furthermore, the majority of theories in the history of science are, at first, incorrect. Historically, the process of error discovery has been the main method of progression in the sciences. This process is observed from theory of universal gravitation to the theory of general relativity, and from statistical mechanics and thermodynamics to the theory of quantum mechanics. The cycle of theorizing and rejecting is a necessity to the

Gossiping should be accepted as a normal part of life, as the listener can learn how to benefit from what they hear. Gossips give us information in order to interact better with other people. According to the virtues of gossip, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, gossip can protect others from being exploited by passing on the information about bad behavior to warn others (The New York Times, 2012). While gossiping with others, we share thoughts, feelings and opinion about others, through that we will find out what type of person your friend is and how they define themselves. Professor Willer once said that gossips could encourage people to be a nicer person. Sometimes we need to trade information with the third parties about people who aren’t around to learn from their experiences. We will learn how to deal with different person and have a better interaction with others. For example, you often heard about people complaining about their group members who don’t do work, so in order to avoid yourself from being gossip, you will learn from their experiences about what they like and what they don’t like and also to think of a way to deal with these

Bosses who discourage chatting have forgotten how small talk helps people to resolve problems and even prevent conflicts occurring. People who engage in small talk with each other feel more comfortable in sharing ideas and giving or receiving advice in order to resolve a situation which ultimately can surely only be good for business.

Every species on this planet has their own idea of what they find attractive but the universal sign for courting, chemistry and breeding is a healthy appearance; whatever that may mean for that particular plant, insect, animal or hominid. Your personal affectation can be curtailed by dull, damaged, ruddy or sallow skin due to health complications, heredity or negligence; it seems more prevalent though to find that merely living in our accelerated world of high demand in the workplace, copious amounts of caffeine and fast food, and environmental disadvantages such as pollution and diminished ozone protection cause stress and strain on every system, especially the

In Psalm 119:36 of the Bible, Christianity says to “bend my heart to your instructions, not to selfish gain”. Like Christianity, most of modern religions speak of being selfless and, at the same time, warning selfish mind. Unlike those religions argue, human or at least a majority of them work for their wellness and desire their own goods. Even the majority of Christians pray for their well being and thank to God for their happiness. Egoism is the nature of all human along with other organisms, yet we are the only life on Earth who try hard to overcome our own nature. We all know our nature or at least perceive the little piece of the egoism, yet many religious leaders such as Pope Francis, Dalai Lama, and Imams with devotees of those religions speak up as if denying our nature is the way to reach some eternal happiness or freedom. For example, Buddhism’s goal is to be selfless and freed from the cycle of rebirth. Buddha says to his disciple about the phrase that should be repeated in the scripture, “These are not mine, this I am not, this is not my self” (Anatta-lakkhana Sutta). However, I strongly disagree with that idea, for being selfish makes human as human. Egoism is not a vice as many people think but is a beneficial component inside our mind that fulfills ourselves.

The first way to avoid office gossip is simple, but not as easy. It involves not starting the rumor in the first place. By not starting rumors in the first place, there would be no problems in the first place. Because rumors start from somewhere, then there is a problem already in the office. For example, if I was an employee looking to get a promotion with better pay, but was in competition with another coworker, it stands to reason that I would do anything I can to get the promotion. But when my competition learned that I did something that the management would frown upon, he starts spreading it across the office space in an attempt to break my chances of obtaining the promotion. If the bosses found out, not only would I lose the promotion, there is now a
