Pressure and Motivation
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the applicability of pressure in motivating individuals. Notes that managers have utilized a number of different approaches over the years in motivating individuals to accomplish various goals and objectives. Perhaps one of the most controversial of these is the application of pressure as a motivation enhancer. As difficult as it may be to accept, pressure is one of the most effective factors which can be implemented in the motivation of human beings. It should be noted, however, that pressure is not always manifested in a negative form. Pressure can also be extremely diverse in its manifestation. Much of the research regarding the factors which influence motivation in fact recognizes the importance of pressure in one aspect or another, they simply refer to it utilizing different terminology.

Prevention: The Mission Social Element
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Because society is fundamentally based upon performance and profit, it is not unusual to find that the concept of prevention is completely lost in the muck and mire of bottom line earnings. Based upon theories of productivity, it is not the least bit shocking to find that many contemporary societies still reflect incredible amounts of poverty, disease and homelessness in spite of the fact that their resources are fully capable of feeding, clothing, housing, educating and medicinally caring for their suffering masses. Examining the potential for prevention, Paul Robart Loeb's Values, Work, and Family, Jo Goodwin Parker's What is Poverty? and Smith & Moyers' Healing and the Community help to provide answers to a troublesome concern.

Providing Assistance to the Hungry
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper which analyzes an article written by Peter Singer titled 'Famine, Affluence, and Morality.' Singer feels that it is the moral obligation of all peoples to assist others all around the world when they are experiencing times of famine and hunger. This paper discusses many of the aspects of Singer's article and also includes an analyzation involving an article by Jan Naverson titled 'Feeding the Hungry.' The analyzation illustrates how Naverson's philosophical arguments would address the arguments of Singer. Naverson argues that aiding those in famine situations, though charitable and admirable, is not necessary and involves much more chance for error, in relationship to the abusive potential it offers to the government, as well as other areas of concern such as altering a culture's structure.
