The 3 Paradigms of Society and how they view Criminals
The three paradigms of sociology all view the acts of crime and devience differently. Firstly, the social conflict theory, many people believe that those who commit crimes are usually of the lower economic class. People do not want to believe that those who are wealthy and seem to posses more power could do anything outside the boundaries of the law. They also feel that if someone who is wealthy does commit a crime they will get off because of their social class. Society does not want to believe that everyone is capable of committing crimes. They want to believe that only those of certain economic class's are going to do wrong, it makes it easier for society to ‘peg' offenders.Structural Functionalists believe that society consist of parts (in this case law enforcement and criminals) each of which have their own functions. It is the criminals function to commit crime, and it is the law enforcements duty to catch the perpetraters of the crime, and then it is the judicial systems job to prosecute the criminal. Without the criminal, the law enforcement officer, the lawyers who prosecuted and defended the criminal, as well as the judge would have no purpose in our society. Thus meaning, that our society would not be stable and functioning.Symbolic interactionism examines how individuals and groups interact, focusing on the creation of personal identity through interactions with others. Symbolic interactionism presumes that criminals are criminals because of the group they interact with or peer pressure. They feel someone they came acro

Inspired action is taking an action that involves faith and a clear direction of how this action will aid your progress toward your goal.

Many goals you set will be too big to just straight tot heir manifestation in your life. You will have to break them down in to smaller steps. Accomplish each of the smaller steps on the path to attaining the overall goal.

Create a calendar of events

This one is controversial for me. Most tradition goals achievement guides recommend that you set a specific schedule for your self. They say a desire without a deadline is just a pipe dream and that a real goal must be time based.

However in my recent studies on process improvement and personnel development, I have found that removing time constraints can allow God’s power to work more effectively in

Asset Maintenance Guide
Assets are not ends but means to some useful ends. Prudently managed assets can result in incredible gains. Assets can be tangible as well as intangible. A skilful management of assets leads to their complete exploitation and saving of organization funds. Inefficiency in management of assets can lead to loss of funds in the company and so its poor performance.Any business is constitutive of numerous big and small issues such as cost management, capital budgeting, expense accounting, financial planning and reporting and so forth. But along with controlling or managing tangible goods, raw materials, finished products, vehicles buildings and other such items, businesses at present also need to take care of their intellectual assets. Asset management comprises of a commendable percentage of managing concerns in an organizationDue to its enticing results the lure as well as the role of asset management is increasing day by day. Asset management is turning out to be a global trend as international maintenance engineers are joining the expanding asset management group. Consequently many significant and novel strategies have evolved in this area. While traditionally asset management meant dealing mostly with the fixed assets of a company at every stage, in the contemporary world besides development of many commercial asset-managing firms that impart services for monitoring various resources of the company, different software packages are available to efficiently handle the assets of a company.Planning for asset maintenance leads to

When I worked as an Engineer, I was very good at problem solving. I could identify the source of a problem and quickly find a solution to that problem. However, as I became more accomplished at this skill, I continued to find more and more problems to solve. I took great satisfaction in finding problems that needed to be solved, but I did not always make good progress toward my goals. But, I sure had a long list of reasons why my goals had not been accomplished and what I was going to do about it.

Now that I am in business for myself, I have chosen a different path. You see the problem with my old method of problem solving was like what one of my mentors said about creating idiot-proof devices. He said the problem he had with making an idiot-proof device was that they keep building better idiots.

In my problem-solving model, I kept finding more problems to be solved. I moved in a circle. Find a problem find a solution, find a new problem, find a new solution.

Now, I use the conscious creation model to achieve my goals. This process involves a more linear approach to achieving your goals. Let’s look into the steps of the conscious creation goal achievement process.

Establish a clear picture of the goal

All things in life are created twice, first in your mind then in materials. This fundamental principle of goal achievement has been discussed in every book on success and management.

Let me tell you a story told about my Grandfather Strawbridge. He was a trick shooter and often took people on hunting trips. He knew the value of aiming at a target.

He once took a man hunting that had a shaky arm. My granddaddy pointed out a squirrel in the tress and invited the man to shoot it. The man held up his gun and waved it around wildly before pulling the trigger. Bam! The squirrel fell dead on the ground. The fellow asked my Granddad what he thought of his shooting. My granddaddy just grumbled and said; “Well you should have hit it – you aimed all over the tree.”

Before you set out to achieve anything in life, take time to make sure you know what it is that you really want to achieve and why you want to achieve it. Know how do you want to feel when your goal is accomplished.

You must know where you want to go. Without a destination, any road will do. But to get where you want to be, you must first have a clear destination in mind.

Develop a passionate desire to reach the goal

Your goal must inspire a passion to succeed. No worthy goal is ever achieved without some effort, so you need the power of passion to push you through the rough spots.

If you feel passionate about achieving your goal, then no amount of resistance can stop you from achieving it.

Your doubts will always be your limiting factor. You will achieve whatever level of success that you believe that you can achieve.

Have the confidence that you will reach your goal

You must also have confidence or faith that you will reach your goal. You have to be able to clearly imagine how it will feel when your goal has been achieved. This goes back to having a clear image of your goal. In you have trouble forming a clear image of your goal, then you will lack the confidence to achieve it. You will also lack the passionate desire to push it in to reality.

You must have faith in both your own abilities and in god’s power to help you along.

Later I will give you a tool for helping build you faith and confidence to aid in achieving your goals.

Take inspired action

Taking inspired action is your way of showing God you are serious about your desires. While it is certainly possible to achieve your goals by sitting on the couch watching TV, it is far more likely that you will be blessed with quick results when you are taking inspired action.

Notice that I am using the term inspired action. If you are acting out of fear and desperation, then you might be better off sitting on the couch watching TV as you may be moving away form your goal rather than toward it.

Inspired action is taking an action that involves faith and a clear direction of how this action will aid your progress toward your goal.

The 3 Secrets of Team Motivation
Are workers telling the truth when they say they are ill? This question was posed on the Money Programme on BBC Television in December 2004. British Bosses are reporting that more and more of their staff appear to be skiving off with faked illnesses and many firms are taking new steps to crack down on malingerers. Research by the Confederation of British Industry suggests that workplace absence is on the rise for the first time in five years. Last year we were off sick on average for 7.2 days up from 6.8 the previous year. It costs UK businesses ?11.75bn a year, the CBI says. The CBI also estimates that 15% of all illness is due to people taking days off when they are not really ill.Now while I accept that there will always people who take time off work for no good reason, I believe managers need to take a long hard look at how they manage their people in the first place. Perhaps if they made the workplace a far better place to be then a lot less people would take a "sickie."If you want a highly motivated team who don't take time off work, don't keep looking for other jobs and make a positive contribution to your business there are three things you need to do.#1 Spend some quality timeI didn't say "quantity time" I said "quality time." One or two minutes of quality time on a regular basis are far more productive than a one hour review every year. You need to get to know your team better and they need to get to know you. It will help you build a relationship with the individual. You'll gain a mu

Benefits of a Lean Office: Is It for You?
Lean is no longer the propriety process and quality management mantra for manufacturing units. The success of Lean management in manufacturing units was bound to percolate to non-manufacturing processes sooner or later. Needless to add, success stories about Lean Office abound with many organizations proactively adapting this technique to cut down wastage (also referred to as muda) of time and material and developing processes which are closely knit to give the maximum output. Though Lean processes have been around for quite some time along with other quality processes such as Six Sigma, the interest in Lean Office has been recent due to the increase in the services sector through out the globe.Benefits of a Lean Office are very easy to gather. However, if you are still not convinced about the benefits of this quality management system, which has shown huge improvements in offices across the world, here are some outlined benefits which can convince you in that direction.Improves efficiency:The implementation of lean office processes just does not improve the efficiency of the office marginally, it improves it by as much as 90% in some cases! Such a huge improvement by reviewing the processes and making suitable changes and implementing a revised process is the outcome of the process of Lean Office.Saves costs:This is really the reason why many companies find Lean Office of interest. Improved flow of processes results in both direct and indirect cost advantages to the company. Apart from timely responses which r

Older Women Dating Younger Men
What makes the pairing of the older woman and younger man work? It usually takes two individuals who are willing to consider the implausible. Here are some of the reasons reported by several couples who have an age span of at least ten to fifteen years between them: Some qualities are ageless.Age knows no boundaries when it comes to the three C's--communication, commitment, and most especially--chemistry. Older women and younger men who share these ingredients can develop a tight bond, which has the possibility of growing into a lasting love. He will probably be drawn to her femininity, wisdom and warmth; she to his energy, and spirit. Add some shared interests to the mix and these two people can sustain a conversation well into old age (even if she does get there before him.) Younger men are flexible. Younger men are less likely to have ingrained habits, unyielding mindsets, and rigid expectations of what they want from their partner. They generally tend to be open-minded about her career, travel, and places to live. Change is not the obstacle for them that it is for older men. The older woman has her own life. She is not expecting a man to take care of her. She has made a home for herself, has a career, and great friends. When an older woman gives herself a good life, she often has the characteristic of taking good care of herself. She probably works out at the gym and keeps herself in shape. With a sense of her power and worth, she sends a strong message that she is an

Triphala - The Cure of All Sorrows
Today is the era of smart work rather than hard work. One has to be smart enough to handle all those difficulties and strains in the most apposite fashion.

However in my recent studies on process improvement and personnel development, I have found that removing time constraints can allow God’s power to work more effectively in your life.

I more prefer to use the phrase “in its own perfect time” when planning my goals.

Sometimes a deadline can be a motivating factor. For others it just adds unnecessary stress. I suggest you try both methods and see what way works best for you.

Be consistent in the pursuit of your goal

Consistency is key to achieving a goal. Most people fail at their goals because they give up just before they succeed.

There is a story of a man in South Africa that was walking through a field picking up stones looking for gems. He stopped in his tracks and declared to all those around him that he had enough. He was not picking up even one more stone. He claimed that he had kept count and that the next stone he picked up would be the ten thousandth stone. There was not point in continuing.

Finally at the urging of his partners in the field he finally stooped to pick up another stone. That stone turned out to be one of the largest single diamonds found in that part of the country.

Tomas Edison was once interviewed by a reported who asked him about his work to invent the light bulb. After Edison revealed that it had taken him at least 10,000 attempts to make a working bulb, the reporter asked if all those mistakes had made him feel like a failure. Edison replied with a question” I now know 9,999 ways not to make a light bulb, how many do you know?”

Control your emotions

The very best mechanism that you have for knowing that you are on track to achieve your goals is your emotional guidance system.

You can know if you are on track if you feel good about you progress. If you feel bad about your goal then you are off course.

In my class on making healthy choices, I taught about controlling you emotions. However, I have recently found a better method for achieving more of what you want and less of what you don’t want.

You have heard me say many times that what you think about expands. This is true whether you are thinking about what you want or if you are thinking about what you don’t want. You get more of what you think about.

In order to know if you are thinking about the right things, you don’t have to wait to see what is manifest in your life. You can use your emotional guidance system to see if you are on track before something happens. If a thought about your goal makes you feel good, then that is an effective thought. If a thought makes you feel bad, then it is an ineffective thought. The more effective your thinking, the quicker you will attain your goals.

Have the courage to act

Taking inspired action often involves some form of risk. You must be willing to trust your feelings and have faith in God so that you can take measured risks to achieve your goals.

Taking bold and courageous action is the fastest way to attain a goal. Taking bold action is a visible summary of the steps we have covered so far.

If you have a clear image of your goal in mind, if you have a passionate desire to achieve that goal, if you have faith in you ability to attain it, and you are consistently striving toward, it, taking bold action is the next logical step.

If you lack the courage to take bold action, then review the preceding steps to see where you are lacking.

Maintain a conscious dependence on God

Attaining any goal is a group effort. You have a part and God has a part.

You must divide the workload between the two of you to create the effective working arrangement that is need to attain your goal.

Knowing which task need to be done by you and which tasks are best left to God is easy to determine. Just trust your feelings.

Do the things that you want to do and the things that you know you can do well. Take inspired action. Leave the rest up to God. We will do an exercise in a moment hat will help you divide up the duties.
