Theory Of Motivation Reinforcement Theory
820 words
The success of any organization depends on the
ability of managers to provide a motivating
environment for its employees. Motivated employees
are more productive, happier, and stay with the
organization longer. One of the primary tasks a
manager faces is to find out what motivates their
staff. By understanding employee needs, managers
can understand what rewards to use to motivate
them. Abraham Maslow proposed the theory called
hierarchy of needs theory (370 - 396). Maslow
believed that within e...

Speech Recognition Operating Systems

Tomorrow's PCs are going to be different in many
ways; they will be more powerful, they will
include more facilities for multimedia, and
looking further ahead, they may have features such
as three dimensional displays, or wrap around
virtual reality. These changes will shape the way
which we use our PCs, but even without such
advances, there are changes that can and will take
place in the operating systems that enable us to
make better use of PCs. I would like to focus here
on some of the change...

Acts Of Kindness Kant Believes
916 words
To be beneficent where one can is a duty; and
besides this, there are many persons who are so
sympathetically constituted that, without any
further motive of vanity or self interest, they
find an inner pleasure in spreading joy around
them and can rejoice in the satisfaction of others
as their own work. But I maintain that in such a
case an action of this kind, however dutiful and
amiable it may be, has nevertheless no true moral
worth. Kant is stating that when the opportunity
arises to be help...

Moral Education Learning Environment

The concept of excellence in education is one
that, on the surface, seems to be unquestionable.
After all, who would not accede that students
within our schools should, in fact, excel?
Certainly teachers, parents, and administrators
can agree on excellence as an aim to shoot for.
The interpretation of the term excellence is,
however, less obvious. How do we regard
excellence? Is it the college bound student with a
broad liberal arts education? Is it the student
who graduates high school trained ...

Shin Buddhism Amida Butsu Dharma
618 words
Shin Buddhism was the creation of Shinran Shin,
who lived in Japan around 800 years ago. He saw,
as did Buddha, that what stands in the way of our
awakening to the Dharma is really only us.
Specifically, it is our ego, or that illusion we
have that we are a fixed and separate entity apart
from everything else. Thus, Shin Buddhism starts
by getting us to see our egocentric, arrogant and
self-centered nature. Shin Buddhism "attacks" our
ego-self. When we awaken to the fallacy of our
"self, " we ar...

revisions, but who is to be credited? Ironically,
Dr. Maier is an author herself, so does this make

Postmodernist discourses are often exclusionary
even when, having been accused of lacking concrete
relevance, they call attention to and appropriate

political meaning, legitimacy, and immediacy. Very
few African-American intellectuals have talked or
written about postmodernism. Recently at a dinner
