.... this earth out of the many billions that there are, needs to take responsibility of his/her actions. Chaos, mayhem, disturbance, turmoil, pandemonium, uproar.

Many people are in belief that chaos, mayhem, and even anarchy will not occur in their lifetimes. And most possibly what they think is true, but they don't show helpfulness towards they younger generations. By making a large pothole, it may be very difficult to fill it. By ruining the .....

.... Using different languages also breaks the unity of our society. People are separated by what kind of language they speak; for example, people who speak only Chinese will live in China Town. Those people also tend to hang around with the same kind of people, those who speak Chinese. There is no communiaction between them and the outside. Later on, different kinds of small groups will be formed. Different gruops will have conflict since they don't share the same culture, habit and language. The harmony of the whole society is going to break. Development and growth of our society will slow down, and everyone have to suffer from it. To avoid this, comm .....

.... of energy. It could be said that everyone is powerful then, and in most cases some of the worst performers are the most powerful people in the organizations. The poor performer expends their power by doing distractive and counterproductive actions.

When employees control a leader's attention for disruptive reasoning, the power being used is inappropriate and dysfunctional. So how might they stop this inappropriate action.

No one wants to be unhappy, lead a boring life or look back over the years with remorse and regret. Yet, so often rather than expecting the best life has to offer, people expect much the opposite. They expect problems and get problems; expect disappointments and are disappointed; expect to fail and then, rather than experience the desired success, they fail. If attitudes are the mental expectations about jobs, relationships, financial status and so on, then these very powerful thoughts must be the elements which se .....

.... case of mass hysteria behind us, there are still issues brought up in our society upon which one can reflect on "The Crucible" and still apply the theme to the modern situation. The beating, or hate crime, committed against Matthew Shepard is one example of this. The brutal thugs who murdered Matthew Shepard simply because of his sexual orientation deserve swift and certain punishment. Their acts are despicable. Unfortunately, a new form of McCarthyism is welling up in the aftermath of this crime, and it is despicable, too. Ignoring the pleas of grieving father Dennis Shepard not to "use [his son] Matt as part of an agenda," homosexual organizations .....
