Why People Should Work Together

If an officer cannot be accountable or responsible, he or she will lose the respect from other officers. Teamwork will be at jeopardy because no one will be able to trust this officer. If the officer was responding to a call, he or she might have difficulty finding a fill for backup. Even if an officer was accountable and responsible, teamwork is essential in this profession. There is no “lone-wolf” in this profession because law enforcement is a team effort. Everyone has to learn how to get along in order to protect the public above all else.

Gender discrimination can be directed towards someone women, men, homosexuals, or drag queens alike. In Susan Faludi’s “The Naked Citadel,” the men of the citadel are naughtily taught to discriminate against women and homosexuals. The men see women as unequal subjects and believe that they should never be granted the opportunity to attend The Citadel. Similarly, homosexuality is looked upon as being abnormal and wrong and anyone who is homosexual is not considered a “real man.” Likewise, in Beth Loffreda’s “Losing Matt Shepard,” the gay men and women are fiercely ostracized. Group mentality plays a huge role in the reason why different groups of people are discriminated against. Large groups have the ability

Everyone in a community must work as a collective group to uplift others as a representation of a path of righteousness and

Dawson’s article, A Christian Proposal to Peacemaking in a New Country, focuses on the different types of faith based efforts that Christians all over the world are currently involved in that focus on both forgiveness and reconciliation and ways to bridge the gap between victim and offender. He begins his thoughts by reminding the reader that everyone has sinned, but that God responds with forgiveness, and has given us an opportunity to start anew through the death and resurrection of Christ, thus reconciling us to God. Here is where the reconciliation process begins. He also briefly brushes upon that it is man’s inability to resist emotions like envy, fear, and contention, that results in hatred for another person or group of people, which is why there is a continuous flow of conflict in the world. This is why we as Christians should understand and embrace the power of the cross. Throughout the article Dawson continuously, encourages and challenges all Christians to join the ministry of reconciliation movement and become reconcilers stating, “our goal, of course, has always been to see people reconcile to God through the Gospel” (Dawson, 2001, p.234). He maps out a model for reconciliation that defining the following:

Most people would agree with the statement “You need to reach beyond the borders of our own groups.” People agree with it, but it is less likely that they will do it. In chapter one, Cleveland makes a good point that we are so good at at closing off people that we do it with such excellence that it no longer appears to be a bad thing. One of reasons we need to reach beyond our own groups is to share the unity of Christ. It sounds so cliche, but when we go outside of our boarders we are giving the people who are unlike us to have an opportunity to experience Christ. Just like Cleveland’s friend Sam, many people are turned off from people who claim to follow Christ, because Christians don't typically welcome everyone in. When we reach beyond

Reflecting on the social change agents in action videos, the one I found particularly inspiring the “Power of Collaboration" by Marrian Kunth. This because Kunth a very brave woman succeeds to connect with other people’s power and passion. She proves that when collaboration exists between different people from different places, it is easier for them to connect to each other and work together to make a common change.

This article discusses the importance of collaboration between speech language pathologists (SLPs) and behavior analysts when it comes to the IEP process of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). SLPs and behavior analysts are most likely to be on a student’s IEP Team if they are ASD diagnosed. The IEP Team needs to have collaboration among all team members in order to make appropriate decisions on the development and implementation of behavior plans, and determine the appropriate developmental level for instruction to be written into the IEP. The people who are giving the services to the student with ASD must be highly trained and be consistent in the student’s schedule. When someone interacting with a student with ASD is consistent, behavioral challenges are more likely to decrease when working with them. If the IEP Team mutually understands the importance of collaboration, and consistency, the team will be more successful with their process. With the prevalence of ASD at 1 in 68 children (as of 2014 gathered from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) it is important to know how an IEP Team

The five ways we flourish in communities are: “learning to think cosmically, identifying and addressing needs, practicing reciprocity rather than mere networking, listening to mentors while mentoring others, and respecting work, family, and faith communities (Schultze 347).” Christians are able to view the world cosmically through God’s order and wisdom not just our own understanding. I happen to think that while working to think more cosmically we must understand that we live in a world where not everyone

“Community, we are better together,” is something that is constantly being said at the church where I attend school, Lifepoint Church (Beliefs & Values). This is one of our main values because we firmly believe that God didn’t create us to do life alone. He created us to do life together, to encourage one another, to go through the struggles together, etc. For this reason we encourage those who attend our church to become part of a small group. By doing life with others through a small group you are able to create strong, lasting relationships with others, grow in your faith, and encourage others.

We should break down the social barriers. We should get out of our collective comfort zone and create conversations across the income divide. And we should raise minimum wage. The fast-food workers are right: It's impossible to live on today's minimum wage, which is substantially lower, when adjusted for inflation

Why do people have the incentive to help others? How does doing such a thing benefit them? Do specific people help more than others, and why? Altruism is identified as the behaviour that benefits others at a personal cost to the performing individual (Wilson, D.S and Dugatkin, L.A, 1992). Altruism can be performed in many diverse ways, and could assist various people that are dealing with many different situations. Prosocial behaviour, however, is acknowledged as the actions that help other people or the entire society as a whole (Twenge, Ciarocco, Baumeister, & Bartels, 2007). In other words, prosocial behaviour could be defined as a way of helping people, that may result in the person who is helping, to personally give up their time, money or any sacrifices to be useful to the opposite person in need. Psychologists have suggested that this particular behaviour may be greater than the associated costs, concerning the human longing to belong to a group. It has also been said that helping accelerates group work and in turn, may be responsible for individuals having vast benefits for the long run (Twenge et al., 2007). Altruism and prosocial behaviour can be seen as the descriptions of helping people. The outcome of this essay will thoroughly explain the background of model of helping behaviour and how these factors are put into practice to make people likely to want to help others, as well as discussing the attributes of the helper and the kind of people who specifically tend

As of date, the peacebuilding initiative has not taken place at my Contextual Education II site; however, it is my expectation that if Lawrenceville First United Methodist Church (FUMCLV) are courageous enough to begin this channel of communication, they will continue this effort to sustain real peace and racial reconciliation with their neighbors. To take on this challenge will not be easy. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful that if there is a solution to racial reconciliation, it will occur one conversation at a time. Also, I believe that true racial reconciliation can only occur when members of FUMCLV and the community come to the conversation freely and with a willingness to change. This kind of willingness to change must include a willingness to liberate and to repent.

Realizing that a group can become a high performance team is important. Accomplishing this goal is invaluable, advantageous and profitable. Once able to operate from a group to the high performing team is a great step into preparation into the big business world. Leaders and members must also realize not only how to accomplish this but that some problems will and can arise from different demographic characteristics and cultural diversity. That is if one is in such a group, which the probability would be quite high.

I am Zeeshan Ali; I am working as a Computer teacher for Classes VI-X-M in Canal Side Boys Campus. I have done Masters in Computer Science (MCS) from Punjab University College of Information and Technology (PUCIT) Lahore. The students are the main focus of every teacher and our entire teaching efforts circle round our students to achieve the set targets. Effective Teaching includes many useful teaching strategies that a teacher chooses according to the requirement of his/her respective subject and topic as well. In result of my years of experience and as a Computer teacher I find Group Work as the most effective and fruitful technique at every level.
