General thesis of Weber’s The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. According to Weber, the religious beliefs of groups like Calvinists helped in creating Capitalism from the protestanic culture that existed initially. He also adds that, there is correlation between being a protestant and being a capitalist in religion. He believes that, the spirit of capitalism determines profit as a goal and pursuing profit as being worthy. Calvinists are certain that God knows who is righteous and who is not. They therefore adopted material things and profits as a gift from God. This they called Predestination. In order for capitalism to become dominant, the spirit of capitalism has been present before the capitalistic era, as complaints of profitability emerged. Traditionalism then became its greatest threat. In the traditional helm, laborers were motivated to work by increasing the pay by the harvested products. Weber believes that their exists both negative and positive dimensions in civilization. The appearance of contemporary structures of awareness, have inevitably become the oppression of the iron cage. Protestants who arose from the Reformation pursued economic spirit…

Consciousness Introduction A great debate has ensued among philosophers on the definition and description of consciousness. The biggest challenge of consciousness is explaining how a physical state in conscious instead of nonconsciousness. Ideally, scientific explanations can depict a physical state’s structural, dynamic, and functional features – expounding on how it is created, the changes it undergoes over time, and its particular functions. While several scholars have tried proposing some of the structural, dynamic, and functional features of consciousness, they simply cannot accurately state/describe, why is it conscious? Hence, this proves that consciousness is far much beyond the standard approaches of science. It creates a great challenge for entire science community. Perhaps, it is the end point of what science can explain. The only viable explanations maybe rest in some of the crazy ideas presented by scholars and people alike. Therefore, this study will explain, discuss and analyze some of the idea advanced by several philosophers regarding consciousness. Explanation and discussion In one of Ted Talks, David Chalmers, a renowned philosopher in the field of consciousness refer to the mind/consciousness as…

  Cyber-security: People, Processes, and Technology The lack of security awareness in information management systems is a frequently ignored aspect. While companies continue to utilize sophisticated technology and advancement in training cybersecurity professionals, limited resources are being utilized to improve safety awareness among ordinary users. This makes them the weakest link in any company. As a consequence, organized cybercriminals are now making concerted efforts to penetrate and establish sophisticated intrusion techniques to obtain money and knowledge from the public. The fast growth rate of internet adoption and poor safety consciousness among consumers render them an enticing option for cybercriminals. Hackers are actively discovering new theft techniques. The involvement of “uneducated” users in an organization makes it convenient for hackers and susceptible to attacks. Training and consumer awareness is a must to counter threats to IT health. Consumers can not only know the content but incorporate the information in their daily lives as well. It is not a simple mission or the organization’s sole duty. The rise of cybersecurity dates back to the beginning of the internet with cyber-attacks being recorded…

Philosophy of Learning   Personal philosophy of how adults learn best in the workplace. Adult learning entails the process by which adults gather knowledge, competence, and skills in their day to day activities. Importantly, according to personal philosophy, adults learn best through the help of adult learning theories. Therefore, there are several thoughtful ways in which adults in the workplace acquire knowledge and skills. Firstly, adults learn through experiments in the workplace. It is a hands-on approach that provides adult employees with an opportunity to learn through experience (Huang & Su 2016). Adults engage in active participation after an individual acknowledges the importance of learning. Experimental learning also enables adult employees to reflect upon their practice, conceptualize their experience, and use the gained knowledge from experience to improve their performance. Through experiments, the learning adults in a workplace develop systematic thinking to process the assigned tasks effectively. Importantly, experimental learning enhances the development of mechanical skills in the workplace. Adult employees also learn better through actions.

Analyzing the Poem Ozymandias Percy Bysshe, a romantic poet, is the writer of Ozymandias poem (Hoffman-Schwartz 163-165). Percy is the speaker of the poem. Ozymandias refers to a different name of Ramses II, an ancient pharaoh of Egypt. The speaker who is Percy says to have met a traveler who was coming from an ancient land. The traveler explains two different stone legs, which were large and belonged to a statue. The legs lacked a torso, which would help to link them to the desert and assist them to stand upright. The poem also talks about the broken face of a statue that is buried near the legs. The facial expression of the statue is a frown, and the lip is wrinkled (Hoffman-Schwartz 163-165). The facial expressions assert that the speaker knew about the emotions of the individual who is portrayed by the statue. The importance of this poem is that it shows how time has not been good to the statue, and it shows that no levels of power can overcome the unceasing and merciless passage of time as…

All these traits are useful in leadership positions. I have served as a supervisor,…

Periodization Plan Periodization is a general concept of a training program that normally divides the training progression into specific phases. The manipulated training variables elicit specific adaptations intending to meet the established goals meant to improve performance. Periodization divides an annual training plan into a set of manageable fragments in order to ensure a correct peaking. Additionally, periodization allows the coach to be organized in such a way that he strategically conducts his training program.  The training phases are required to bring about explicit adaptations that are desired within a given period. This paper explores the concepts of periodization the training program macrocycle as well as the adaptation and ethical issues associated with preparatory mesocycle. Periodization training is usually facilitated by a hierarchy structure which gives a chance for several different interconnected levels that can be utilized in planning the process. Every level of periodization is based on the training objectives well-known for athletes (Hoover, VanWye, & Judge, 2016). The hierarchical structure involves macrocycle which is further subdivided into preparation, completion, and finally transition, macrocycle is then followed by mesocycle…
