The Evolution of Management Thought Through the practice of management and the continued development of commerce and wealth we are transforming our lives. In Massachusetts (USA) in the 1850s the life expectancy of a male would have been 37 years of age and a female 40: in 1929 it was 58 for a male and 61 for a female; nowadays life expectancy would be in the region 70-80 years. While appreciating the past success of ‘management’ we would also recognize that today’s accelerating pace of change is

What is the purpose of being humble, when should we be humble, and is being humble overrated? Do people only dislike other people for being cocky because they doubt themselves? Personally, I do not mind it much when people brag about what they have achieved or have done. More often than not, I know they never intentionally mean any harm by doing so. Why should I mind? They’re only excited about their life, right? It is always easy to remain humble when everything is good and dandy, but the

In the essay “Thought” by Louis H. Sullivan, he mainly discusses how words can come in middle of the thoughts. He said that we just utilize words to correspond to other people. The rest of the time we simply think and we don’t use words. Sullivan says words are just thoughts and we can use creative thinking instead of words to express our thoughts. His main point that he makes in the essay is that thought and thinking is more valuable than words. He gave some very diverse examples in his essay about

Reading and Thoughts 　　In the essay “Reading and Thought”, Dwight MacDonlad talked about the kind of poor reading people are attached to in modern society. MacDonald believed reading materials such as Times and New York Times are too overwhelming for the readers. Readers tend to skim through the reading materials because most of the reading do not have any connections with their daily lives. Moreover, MacDoanld claimed that the readings people do these days are not thoughtful. The readings are rather

The Power of Thought Nearly every English-speaking person has heard the popularized tale of a minute blue railroad car who defies odds of traveling up a particularly difficult hill by chanting a mantra of optimism. The “I think I can” mentality is an essential lesson by which children should abide. It indoctrinates a sense of limitlessness, allowing young persons to set tremendous, seemingly unattainable goals in life. In approaching adulthood, however, one is inevitably struck by a harsh realization:

Gestalt and humanistic modes of thought share the idea that people have free-will and are able to make their own choices in life; also, a high importance is placed on a person’s experiences and personal viewpoint (Hergenhahn & Henley, 2014). Phenomenology, or the introspective analysis of whole conceptual experiences, features prominently in both ideologies (Hergenhahn & Henley, 2014). Another shared viewpoint is that human beings are unique, and as such there is a limit to what can be learned from

If you have ever been down the Trail of Thought, you know the horrors that you witness there. Normals being memory wiped for knowing our secret. Going home as though nothing happened. That is exactly how my story starts off, with a curse, but you will never suspect how it ends. I woke up that morning with a pain wrenching headache. It sliced through every thought that tried to enter my mind. I took some pain pills and headed to work early so that I could beat the morning traffic. I was too busy to

away, the majority of people would respond with the obvious choices of sight or hearing, but how many people would think about our sense of language? Language affects our lives in ways that we do not often realize.

I found that Boroditsky used much of her own research in order to support her claims that direction

It was a scary and tough decision for me to attend MACU but I wouldn’t want it any other way. Critical thought and popular culture was a required course to take and to be honest, I thought it was going to be a super boring class. But, it taught me a lot about myself and made me examine my calling in life a little deeper than before. In turn, I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Critical thought and popular culture taught me a lot about who I am. These realizations came from class discussions, learning
