Empowerment of employees will not only enable the company to establish new and efficient ways to conduct its operations but also make it easier for employees to become self motivated and have a sense of belonging. Vecchio (2007) indicates that through frequent communication and feedback, a leader can establish the weaknesses and rigidities facing subordinate staff before they get demoralized. Lack of the sense of accomplishment
According to Abraham Maslow, a self-actualized person has specific characteristics: an efficient perception of reality, balanced acceptance of self and nature, reliant on their own experiences, spontaneous, autonomous, constantly appreciative, a non-hostile sense of humor, socially compassionate, and peak experiences. While she occasionally struggles to meet even the basic needs at the bottom of Maslow's pyramid, Katniss Everdeen shows many of the characteristics of a self-actualized person. In The
“Frankenstein” Final Essay “What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualization.” (- Abraham Maslow). The novel “Frankenstein” is a novel written by Mary Shelley. This novel plays around with quite a few concepts and themes. However, I would like to argue that the universal truth in Shelley’s novel is that humans find comfort in self-actualization which is shown through the effective presentation of Romantic elements. You may even say that Romantic elements are involved in this novel

I Heart Huckabees, an American comedy film, explores the idea of existentialism and the process of searching for one’s identity. Albert, Dawn, and Tommy are successful in dismantling and getting
Self-concept has always been a topic of interest whereby different schools of thought have made their contribution to the concept of self.

Leary & Tangney (2012) claims "Google Scholar yields 3 million citations, and limiting focus to professional search engines {the Web of Science, PsyciNFO) still yields tens of thousands of articles in which self-concept or
3. The personal factors of homesickness 3.1 Personality Some researchers found the relationship between homesickness and personality. “the vulnerability seems to be rooted in the personality of the homesick (-prone).” “it has been found that homesickness is especially related to rigidity” (Van Tilburg, Vingerhoets & Van Heck, 1999, p.193). When studying abroad, students might be more vulnerable than in their home country because they would experience the different culture or communication style
The basis of imperialism is established by depriving nations of their true identity, self-confidence, and independence. Dominance is best put as power and influence over others. This idea of dominance is bewildering. Who would have thought that holding more power than another individual would exist in this world when we were all created as equals from the start? Being seen as more “powerful” because one’s skin color is lighter than another or because one has more wealth is preposterous. Imperialism
he argues that people wear different ‘masks’ to project different identities of themselves rather than having a single unified ‘self’. Although psychologists believe that wearing a ‘mask’ is awful and having a single unified ‘self’ is natural, Gergen’s experiments have led him to believe that it is not true at all. Gergen “think we are not apt to find a single basic self to which we can be true”, he believes that our identities are shaped by our society and it is healthy to wear different masks which
