Paul McKenna

Paul McKenna

1. What is your reaction to Paul Mckenna and what he does?

I think that mind is bigger than what we could think, and it could handle everyone, in this case he uses his mind to get inside others head and by making some little changes in their thoughts he’s supposed to make them became better and let’s them confront their problems without medications, and, if that’s true, that an interesting point of view different from the traditional medicine.

2. Have you ever been hypnotised?

No, I haven’t.

3. Would you like to be Hypnotised?

It’s a little bit strange, it’s a very difficult question because although it’s very interesting for me I really don’t know as much as I should know to risk my life, I don’t know the scopes of this practice, and I’m not shure if that could be the best way to confront problems.

4. If you were going to be hypnotised, what would you ask for help with?

I would ask for help about my fear of the heights.

SHATTERED GLASS

SHATTERED GLASS

This film tells the true story of the journalist Stephen Glass, who rose to meteoric heights as a young writer in his 20s, becoming a staff writer at "The New Republic" for three years, where 27 of his 41 published stories were either partially or completely made up. Looking for a short cut to fame, Glass concocted sources, quotes and even entire stories, but his deception did not go unnoticed forever, and eventually, those events stopped his career.

The film is an brilliant film which recounts the events that exploited the scandal of the magazine in which Stephen Glass published stories partially or completely made up. It’s developed the most of the time in the TNR offices. Although it’s a movie that talks about some complicated topics like rupture of ethics and the anxious of power that could fall into a “career mutilation” It’s interesting because it has a lot of exotic places, no violence, thrills, etc… but the most interesting is that it makes us thing about the importance of doing things well because if we don’t we can lose our lives as they are.

Essay:The role of motivation in employees.

The role of motivation in employees:

Today, the motivation of employees in a company plays a very important role, because in most cases, this will depend on the performance of the same and equally and can influence the behavior and sense of belonging in them towards company. The motivation in most cases, it is understood as incentives and not materiles materials that are given to employees as a reward for their efforts in the company, but until that point it's a good motivation in a company and this means that within of the same?.

First, and as mentioned earlier, the motivation is very important within a company, because this depends on the degree of satisfaction that the employees have towards it. A worker is motivated to work better, is going to feel comfortable with their work and what you are going to do with pleasure. For these reasons, companies should take into account the motivation of their employees, they are concerned about this, and implement activities that enable the integration of them with the values and culture of the organization, said that as a motto in their buses Hyunday Transit employees "Here transport the engine of our company", employees are at the heart of the organization, where they are kept afloat, then it does not make efforts to make them feel at ease with his company and sit with the family.

Contrary to this, the motivation is also extremely likely to be bad, because in many cases whether the motive was not known to administer a right way can lead to bad accustom to employees, and then what happens is that when the company can motivate them are going to be fine, but if for any economic circumstances the company can not do, they will feel upset and this can become a problem for managers of the organization. The reasons must be very well managed, and this must be carried out by the Human Resources department of the firm.

In conclusion, motivation is important in a company, only that this must be well managed by the directors of the Human Resources department. Depends on the motivation as they feel the workers within the company as well as a sense of belonging that they have toward the company and most importantly, the commitment that these acquired for the same.

Paragraph: What is the difference between ethics and politics?

What is the difference between ethics and politics?

First of all, it’s necessary to have present that ethics and politics refer both to the human practice, this is, to the actions that humans can realize, and the directions we can give to our will and freedom. The difference between ethics and politics is that the first one is an intimate and personal practice; while the second one is the coordination of many actions bearing in mind the will of the others because of being alive and being part of the society; but to do it, we must have clear what is ethics for one to integrate it with the definition of ethics of others. The politics turns around the laws and institutions created to elaborate and administrate them. Joining these ideas, we can say that ethics is the basic element to develop the politic how it must be developed.

Hitlerjunge

Hitlerjunge:

a) What did you think of the movie?

It is a interesting movie about the Second World War, in which everything was specially planed, every single detail. Tis is a movie wich shows the cruelty of war, and how we have became into killing machines. It’s interesting but it’s shocking in some scenes. It’s interesting how it shows that there’s no relevant difference between people of different cultures, and being racist doesn’t have any reason

b) Would you be willing to deny your beliefs (religious/political, etc) in order to survive like Sully did?

Words can be forgot, but they should do a difference between being alive or being death, if my words make me live, I wold deny my beliefs because if I stay alive, I could act to make them strong, but if I’m death, I could believe many things, but I can not act any more.

I think the most important thing is to have ideas clear for our selves, if others know what we realy belief doesn’t have the same importace, and if I have a good communication with god, he would know I’m doing it to complete my mission in the world, not because I realy don’t believe on him.
