Representation of gender today
1. The document analyzes the representation of gender in media from the past to today. It finds that portrayals have become more complex and less stereotyped over time.
2. Specifically, it notes that women are now liberated from always being dependent on men, while men are often depicted as more sensitive and less violent.
3. It also observes that while gender differences in representation may be more equal, they remain diverse. Emerging alternative sexualities like gay and lesbian characters have also started gaining more acceptance on television and film.
2 characteristics and individuality 58
This document discusses characteristics, mind, personality, and individuality. It states that genetics and environment influence characteristics, and that character is reflected from within while personality is how one presents themselves. Individuality is described as unique to each person and that each person must develop their own convictions and truth. True individuality respects others' individuality and does not try to copy or control others.
The Relations Among Feminist Identity Development, Gender - Role Orientation,...
The study examined the relationships between feminist identity development, gender role orientation, and psychological well-being in 244 women at a large southwestern university. It found that women with highly developed feminist identities and more masculine gender roles had greater psychological well-being, defined as life satisfaction and positive functioning. In contrast, women with lower feminist identity reported lower overall psychological well-being. The results supported the hypotheses that feminist identity development and gender role orientation independently influence women's psychological well-being.
Stereotype Threat and the Gender Gap in Political Knowledge
This study examined whether stereotype threat contributes to the observed gender gap in political knowledge. Researchers conducted phone surveys of college students, varying the interviewer's gender and information provided about the test. They found that women scored higher when interviewed by other women or when told the test was non-diagnostic of gender differences. The results suggest that concerns over confirming negative stereotypes can negatively influence women's scores on political knowledge tests.
Interactions of waves
Waves can interact in several ways when they overlap in space. Constructive interference occurs when wave amplitudes add, increasing the overall amplitude. Destructive interference happens when wave amplitudes subtract, decreasing the overall amplitude. Reflection is when a wave bounces off a surface, obeying the law of reflection. Refraction is when a wave changes speed and direction as it enters a new medium. Standing waves form from the interference of traveling waves reflecting back on themselves, creating nodes and antinodes. Resonance amplifies vibrations at an object's natural frequency.
How Waves Behave
Waves can interact in several ways as they travel through different mediums. When a wave hits a surface, it can reflect off at the same angle (law of reflection). As waves pass from one medium to another with different densities, they refract or bend due to changes in speed. Diffraction causes waves to spread out and change direction as they pass obstacles or openings. Interference occurs when two waves overlap and their amplitudes combine constructively or destructively. Resonance is a state where the frequency of a forced vibration matches an object's natural frequency, causing large amplified oscillations.
Theory of Human Becoming by Rosemarie Rizzo Parse
The document summarizes Rosemarie Rizzo Parse's Theory of Human Becoming. It outlines the key aspects of the theory including its assumptions, principles, and application to nursing practice. The theory posits that human becoming is an intersubjective process of freely choosing meaning and transcending possibilities through language, values, and imagination. It focuses on the lived experience of individuals and their rhythmic patterns of relating with the universe.
Freedom & responsibility
Freedom and responsibility are interconnected. True freedom requires responsibility - the ability to make choices without considering their impact on others is not really freedom. The document outlines six steps to becoming a more responsible person: admitting faults, understanding consequences, apologizing, making amends, promising to do better, and caring for others. It poses several critical questions about balancing freedom and responsibility, such as when limiting freedom can be beneficial and what sacrifices may be required to maintain freedom.

Wave particle duality
This document discusses the wave-particle duality of light and matter. It explains how experiments demonstrating the photoelectric effect and electron diffraction show that electromagnetic radiation and electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties depending on the situation. De Broglie hypothesized that all particles can behave as waves, and he formulated an equation showing that particles are associated with a wavelength determined by their momentum and Planck's constant.
Types of societies
The document discusses the characteristics of different types of societies according to various sociologists including Morgan, Comte, Spencer, and Lenski. It describes the key attributes of hunting and gathering societies, pastoral societies, horticultural societies, agricultural societies, and industrial societies. The summaries focus on nomadic nature, social institutions, division of labor, and how levels of complexity and organization increased across the societal types.
TG.HUMMS Philo-Grade 12
This teaching guide outlines a 240-minute lesson on introducing students to the philosophy of the human person as oriented towards impending death. Students will be divided into groups to analyze pictures representing life and death, and each group will be assigned a philosopher's beliefs about life to present. After presentations, students will analyze a video about a man who predicted his own death. Finally, each student will write a philosophical reflection or essay on the meaning of life based on what they've learned. The teacher will evaluate students using a rubric.
06 human freedom
This document discusses the concept of human freedom from multiple perspectives. It examines the views of total determinism, absolute freedom, and structured freedom. Total determinists like B.F. Skinner believe humans have no free will and are entirely determined by external forces, while absolutists like Jean-Paul Sartre see humans as having total freedom without constraints. Most argue for a view of structured freedom, where humans have the ability to exercise free will but are also influenced by their environment and situation.
Newton’s universal law of gravitation
Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity and formulated the law of universal gravitation by observing an apple fall from a tree in the late 1600s. Newton's law states that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The law of universal gravitation explains that all objects experience an attractive gravitational force towards one another, with the force being stronger between objects with greater mass and weaker over greater distances.
Kepler's law of planetary motion
Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer who developed his three laws of planetary motion in the early 17th century. Kepler's laws state that: 1) planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus, 2) a line connecting a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times, and 3) the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the Sun. These laws helped solidify the heliocentric model of the solar system and were later explained by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
The human person_topic_2
The document discusses the topic of what constitutes a human person. It begins by explaining that a human person is defined as an individual substance with a rational nature, composed of both a material body and an immaterial soul. The document then explores various aspects of what it means to be an individual, have a rational nature, and exist as both a body and soul united. It emphasizes that every human person is unique and has inherent dignity due to their rational spiritual nature.
Social system and organizational culture
This document discusses key concepts related to social systems and organizational culture. It defines a social system as a complex set of human relationships that interact in many ways. An organizational culture refers to the shared values, norms, and behaviors that characterize an organization. The document also explores topics like social equilibrium, psychological contracts between employers and employees, cultural diversity, social roles and status, and how organizational culture is communicated and changes over time.
Human person in society
Individuals are shaped by their social context and form societies. Social media can lead to depression as people tend to post positive images and compare likes, feeling dissatisfied. Rather than being ourselves, people conform to idealized images on social media, reducing individuality. Different societies like agrarian, industrial, and virtual can shape individuality differently.
Newton's law of gravitation
The document discusses Newton's realization that the force of gravity on Earth must come from Earth itself and must also be what keeps the Moon in orbit. It then explains Newton's third law and how it applies to gravitational forces between objects of different masses. The document also defines the universal law of gravitation, including how the gravitational force between two objects is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It further discusses how to calculate gravitational forces and acceleration due to gravity at different locations and distances from Earth.
SOCIAL SYSTEMS AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
A social system is a complex set of human relationships within an organization that is in a state of dynamic equilibrium. The culture of an organization represents the shared values, beliefs, and norms that guide behavior. Factors like roles, status, and power dynamics influence relationships between people in the social system and organizational culture. Maintaining equilibrium while allowing for natural changes helps the social system and culture adapt over time.

Galileo galilei powerpoint(2)
Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer born in 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He made many important scientific discoveries through his use of the telescope, including observing mountains and craters on the moon, the phases of Venus, and the four largest moons of Jupiter. Galileo also supported Copernicus' theory that the Earth and planets revolve around the sun, which brought him into conflict with the Catholic Church and led to his imprisonment. Galileo made many contributions to the scientific revolution through his innovative use of the telescope and his willingness to challenge established scientific beliefs of the time.
Social structure
1. Social structure refers to the institutions and social roles that establish norms and limits in society, while social interaction is the foundation for relationships through people's responses to one another.
2. Statuses define social positions with expectations, and can be ascribed based on attributes outside one's control or achieved through effort, with roles being the behaviors associated with a given status.
3. Managing impressions and saving face are important aspects of social interaction, as people present themselves in ways that maintain their desired image according to the definitions and judgments of situations.
Types Of Societies
This document discusses different types of societies based on their mode of subsistence and level of technological development. It describes hunting and gathering societies, pastoral/herding societies, horticultural societies, and agricultural societies. Hunting and gathering societies are small, nomadic, and lack wealth, political institutions, or division of labor. Pastoral societies rely on herding domesticated animals, are larger and can accumulate wealth, leading to inequality. Horticultural societies practice slash-and-burn agriculture and have more complex divisions of labor and emergence of political institutions like chieftainships. Agricultural societies are the largest, use plow technology, develop cities, social classes, political and economic institutions, specialized religion, and engage in warfare and empire building.
Introduction to the philosophy of the human person
This document provides an introduction to a philosophy of the human person course. It covers several key topics:
- The human person in their environment, and how humans were created to live in harmony with nature. Respect for the environment is discussed.
- Freedom of the human person, including lessons on free will, voluntary actions and their consequences, and arguments for and against freedom of the will.
- Intersubjectivity, which examines human relationships and interactions between people.
Various learning activities are suggested such as poster making, travelogue creation, and recycling projects to reinforce the lessons. The document outlines rationales, objectives and content for each topic area.
Death by PowerPoint
This document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint presentations. It notes that many presentations are "unbearable" due to a lack of significance, structure, simplicity, and rehearsal. It emphasizes the importance of having a clear purpose for your presentation, using a simple structure like problem-solution, keeping slides concise with minimal text and images over clipart, writing speaker notes instead of long slides for printing, and rehearsing your presentation aloud to work out any issues. The overall message is that presentations should be passionate, memorable and scalable through a focus on simplicity and clarity of message.
ESOTERIC16(1)[1]
The document discusses ancient Javanese beliefs about a future leader called "Sang Ratu Adil" or the "Just Ruler" who will establish a just system and bring peace, prosperity, and well-being. It compares this belief to similar prophecies in other ancient cultures around the world. It argues that this ruler is not a single person but a system or way of being that treats all people equally and justly under God. The document also discusses concepts like self-influence, common ideas and purposes, recognition, and affirmation from the perspectives of Javanese traditions and new science.
Universal relativity theory of the mind 1
Tito Lange discovered a relativity equation, "Mind + Decision = Behavior", while searching for why someone would deliberately hurt another person. He is a philosopher who wants to create wisdom education to stop bullying and suicide among American teenagers. His theory is that there are two worlds available - the physical one and one that each person creates in their own mind. For bullying to not exist, children need to be disciplined as complete human beings with character and wisdom from an early age, so they understand who they are spiritually. Their minds can then conceive their own energies to create a "bully free world" in their minds. Bullies' minds are not yet spiritually activated or able to create visions, which is why bullying exists

Unselfish work in its effects on character - Karma Yoga by Swami Vivekananda
1) The document discusses Swami Vivekananda's views on unselfish work and its effects on character development. It argues that misery and hardship often teach more about life and help form strong character more than happiness or wealth.
2) Through unselfish work done without concern for rewards or recognition, one can attain higher states of being and manifest powerful will and self-control. This leads to greater development of one's character.
3) True knowledge comes from within oneself rather than from external sources. Great souls like Buddha attained tremendous will and power through countless lives of persistent work and spiritual practices.

Karma yoga chapter iii the secret of work.
Swami #Vivekananda Bengali: , Shāmi Bibekānondo; 12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), born #Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of# Vedanta and #Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising #interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the #Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He is perhaps best known for his speech which began, "Sisters and brothers of America ...," in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.
Born into an aristocratic Bengali family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his Guru, Ramakrishna Deva, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind. After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India. He later traveled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the World Religions. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, England and Europe. In India, Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated there as National Youth Day.
One
The document proposes forming a voluntary society called ONE to work towards building a united, strife-free Earth. It outlines steps for ONE to coordinate with existing organizations, inform governments and citizens, and establish local chapters to alleviate suffering and promote spiritual upliftment through non-sectarian teachings. The goal is for individuals to move beyond ego and work selflessly for human good, ensuring all people's basic needs are met on a sustainable planet.
MahaDharma -the new religion of new age
To create a better world we want to establish a new Religion, which is based on humanitarianism and true spiritualism, which helps to develop the Mind and also our consciousness, that which is free from all bad sides. That is true religion.
‘MahaDharma’ –the Religion of human being, I mean humanity. It is made by human and made for human welfare. That is ‘MahaDharma’ which helps to bloom the Mind and also consciousness, that which is free from all bad sides like superstition, malice, hatred, cruelty, malpractice, and which do not gives us any false promise. That is true religion. Humanitarianism is our 'ism', it is 'MahaVad' –the great doctrine of the modern times, taught by MahaManas alias MahaAnand.
Yes, we are followers of ‘MahaDharma’ –the Religion of human being, and ‘MahaVad’ –the true-spiritual doctrine and great teachings of MahaAnand alias MahaManas. We think, True religion is one which is based on True-Spiritualism, ––that which directly helps to bloom or develop our mind, that which teaches the method of better living and that which helps and incite or insist to get true knowledge. The true spiritualism & true religion ‘MahaVad’ never encourages us to get God and haven. It always encourages us to know the truth, and to be able to receive the truth for a better life. Neither it misguides us nor does it give us any false promises.
Personality development
The document discusses personality development and defines personality as one's character and nature as shown through their behavior, feelings, and thoughts. It outlines the four functions of the mind as memory, deliberation, determination/decision-making, and 'I' consciousness. It emphasizes taking responsibility for one's actions and character, noting that we are responsible for what we wish to become. Changing oneself and one's thoughts is key to transforming character and how one sees the world. Developing qualities like faith in oneself, positive thinking, and service are essential to personality development.

Born into an aristocratic Bengali family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his Guru, Ramakrishna Deva, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind. After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India. He later traveled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the World Religions. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, England and Europe. In India, Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated there as National Youth Day.
Karma Yoga
Swami Vivekananda, describes the way to reach perfection through the performance of daily work in a non-attached spirit (i.e. Karma-Yoga - the path of selfless action).

This document discusses spiritual science and development. It explains that energy powers nature and functions, and that the body and soul should be equally developed. It describes three worlds - of ether, air, and water - and notes that an invisible soul visits Earth while the body remains. After death, actions are evaluated and one may go to heaven, hell, or achieve moksha/salvation. It emphasizes working with positive thoughts, as actions will be judged by intentions. Vibrational meditation can help understand spiritual science and achieve the soul's goal of visiting Earth. The organization's objectives are to educate on spiritual science, guide vibrational meditation, and help the soul complete its journey from the invisible zone to Earth and back.
Human Renaissance Group Culture
The Human Renaissance Group is an awakened group of educators and social entrepreneurs. Our Mission is to instigate a Human Renaissance through entrepreneurial activism to create global systemic change that allows the human soul to freely evolve with the Mission Mastery Academy as our education hub.
For the longest time, much of humanity has suffered at the hands of its own mis-creating and belief in a dark force outside of themselves suppressing their prosperity, ingenuity and creativity. This has lead to the firm entrenchment of the made up concept in humanitas – “That we must suffer and be challenged in order to grow and learn our lessons”.
This is the very psyche keeping humanity in the slumber of hierarchical controlling structures that allows an industry to be as rich as the combined GDP of most countries, while a mother and father can’t afford a bowl of rice to feed their family so must suffer as they watch their children die.
Into this intennable state of affairs comes The Human Renaissance.
– A time of self realization in the human story where the experience of Self As Creator re-writes that story freeing itself from the belief in ‘suffering to grow’. Learning, creating and growing now comes from pure love and joy as we take pleasure in the art and science of creating magnificence.
The Human Renaissance is Humanity reborn a-new to reach its originated created intention of creative wonderment through self realized Entrepreneurial Activism that brings about systemic change at every level of our being and experience.
Creative Wonderment is growing from the joy of expansion because it feels better than growing from suffering, conflict and constriction. Creative Wonderment is learning from wonderous curiosity because it’s more interesting and inspiring than learning from pain and “hard life lessons”. Creative Wonderment is the ultimate realization of humanity’s originated path to its higher potential as Creators seeking greater joy
There are beings that have incarnated to be present at this monumental pivotal moment in human history to change the course of human evolution and lead it to the New Earth - A Golden Age Of Peace & Prosperity.
You could be one of those beings?!
It is through awakening to our Life Mission, and getting clarity on how to maximize impact and income, that we can accelerate the bringing about of that peace and prosperity for 100% of humanity, the planet and the creatures under our care.
Our Mission Mastery Academy was established to help those here to create positive social impacts through for profit enterprises and social impact triple bottom line businesses.

Building Self and Collective Care into Community Engaged Work Workshop
This document discusses the importance of self-care and collective care for those working in social justice and community engagement. It emphasizes that caring for oneself and one's community is an act of political resistance against oppression. The document outlines components of liberatory leadership, including practice, action, community, earth/spirit connection, and imagination. It provides examples of how systems of oppression like white supremacy, capitalism, and patriarchy negatively impact those doing social justice work. Throughout, it stresses that small, sustainable acts of self-care are important for long-term social change work.
Utilising the universal genius
The document discusses how to utilize the genius within each person. It argues that everyone has equal amounts of time and talent, and the key is effective management of those tools. It emphasizes that the human mind is powerful and can control one's thoughts, emotions, and actions. To be successful, one must train the mind, get out of one's comfort zone, start taking action on ideas, fuel one's passion, and constantly keep learning and growing. Marketing oneself well and taking responsibility are also discussed as important factors.

Customer Relationship Managemenet’s Impact on Customer Satisfaction and Perfo...Istanbul Beykent University (İstanbul Beykent Üniversitesi)
Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
After Corona Virus Disease-2019/Covid-19 (Coronavirus) first
appeared in Wuhan, China towards the end of 2019, its effects began to
be felt clearly all over the world. If the Coronavirus crisis is not managed
properly in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer
(B2C) sectors, it can have serious negative consequences. In this crisis,
companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,
existing customers and customer satisfaction, interruptions in operations

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge. The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition. The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
9 Ways Managers Kill Morale (and What to Do Instead)
This presentation, "The Morale Killers: 9 Ways Managers Unintentionally Demotivate Employees (and How to Fix It)," is a deep dive into the critical factors that can negatively impact employee morale and engagement. Based on extensive research and real-world experiences, this presentation reveals the nine most common mistakes managers make, often without even realizing it.

1. Ignoring Achievements: The presentation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and rewarding employees' efforts, tailored to their individual preferences.
2. Bad Hiring/Promotions & Broken Promises: It reveals the detrimental effects of poor hiring and promotion decisions, along with the erosion of trust that results from broken promises.
3. Treating Everyone Equally & Tolerating Poor Performance: This section stresses the need for fair treatment while acknowledging that employees have different needs. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing poor performance promptly.
4. Stifling Growth & Lack of Interest: The presentation highlights the importance of providing opportunities for learning and growth, as well as showing genuine care for employees' well-being.
5. Unclear Communication & Micromanaging: It exposes the frustration and resentment caused by vague expectations and excessive control, advocating for clear communication and employee empowerment.
The presentation then shifts its focus to the power of recognition and empowerment, highlighting how a culture of appreciation can fuel engagement and motivation. It provides actionable takeaways for managers, emphasizing the need to stop demotivating behaviors and start actively fostering a positive workplace culture.
The presentation concludes with a strong call to action, encouraging viewers to explore the accompanying blog post, "9 Proven Ways to Crush Employee Morale (and How to Avoid Them)," for a more in-depth analysis and practical solutions.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Individual vs. true self
- 1. INDIVIDUALITY VS. TRUE PURPOSE OF SELF BHAGWADGITA K S Madhavan MAR., 2013 1
- 2. INDIVIDUALITY VS. TRUE PURPOSE OF SELF BHAGWADGITA MAR 2013 K S Madhavan 2 of 18
- 3. Most of us accept that there is a superior being, whom we call GOD. But why has He created individuals ? And why was he created with EGO? Why has He instilled ego in individuals that make the person feel superior to the rest of the community and get emotionally disturbed when the ego is hurt? What is the difference between EGO & EGOISM?
- 4. Lord Krishna explains the purpose why God instilled egoism in man and how man has to use it for common good. In the Bhagwadgita. Lord Krishna talks about the importance of individual Self & How and Why man was created and provided with intellectual capabilities that man uses and misuses for glorification of self or for taking Humanity forward.
- 5. Human beings have been created by God - The purpose of human evolution is that humanity shall constantly improve itself. - That is, human genetic evolution shall constantly take it forward from a lower level of quality of existence to a higher level. - Individuals are only created as instruments of humanity. - If human species was not there is no individual human being - Me or you of X Y Z – nobody.
- 6. - God has also provided all human beings with desire to protect self, sustain oneself and take individual self forward. - Without this instinct of survival and sustenance of individuals, humanity itself would perish. - Because all of us want to live and do well, our society is progressing. - IF NO INDIVIDUAL EGO, NO SOCIAL PROGRESS WHATSOEVER! Hence God has provided each individual with an ego.
- 7. - There is a purpose for which an individual has been brought into existence in the evolutionary process. - They are there to do the work of humanity. - From genetic angle we are all there for the single purpose of meeting the goal of human evolution. - As a part of our existence we have to constantly work, do our karma. - In order that we do our works properly, individuality has been created.
- 8. Janma karma ça mé divyam Évam yo vétti tattvataha • Constantly human beings are born, in order that humanity advances. • At the same time, they have to perform. • Non-performing human beings do not contribute to human evolution at all.
- 9. - In addition to doing work, we have to possess knowledge. Only with knowledge we can do our work better. - For the purpose of enabling human beings to gain proper knowledge and do work properly, individuality has been created by God. They have been provided with ‘Ego’. - If human beings did not possess ego, the concept of “I”, humanity would not have been able to evolve better.
- 10. - Intellectual capability was created in man so that he is able to understand what is good for self, protection of oneself, making self move forward. - Man has to have Gnyānam (Knowledge). - Without knowledge humanity cannot evolve into a better species. - However, this knowledge also creates the problem of seeing the purpose of oneself as distinct from the totality of the purpose of humanity.
- 11. - If all human beings were thinking exactly alike, representing a single purpose, humanity could not have evolved at all. - We would have been like a rock – - NOT EVOLVING, NOT MOVING INTO SUPERIOR SPHERE OF PERFORMANCE, NO SOCIAL EVOLUTION AND MOVEMENT INTO BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE AT ALL.
- 12. Unfortunately KNOWLEDGE is of two kinds: - One that takes humanity forward - Another that takes individual forward. - Without the former the greatest discoveries would not have been made. - Without the latter, social distinctions would not have become sources of pride and discrimination. - We have to learn to combine the two without affecting humanity negatively. - Each one of us has a right to good happy and satisfactory existence.
- 13. - Each one of us has a right to good happy and satisfactory existence. - However, we do not have the right to project ourselves as superior to others in society. - We are all arms of the society. - We shall perform and take ourselves and the society (humanity itself) forward through our work.
- 14. Brahmārpaņam Brahma havihi Brahmāgnau Brahmaņā hutam ǁ Brahmeņa tena gantavyam Brahma karma samādhinā ǁ ǁ - Bhagwadgita, Ch. IV, Verse 24 - Each individual human being is God’s contribution to humanity. - They shall be constantly creative. - Even the lowest quality worker, or any one just living has to create his next work.
- 15. Brahmārpaņam The entirety of one’s work shall be sacrificed for creativity. We shall do work so that the society, humanity progresses forward towards becoming a superior species.
- 16. Brahma havihi Burn your ego in the fire of creativity. Ego has been given to you so that you are able to perform and not for superiority complex.
- 17. Brahmāgnau Brahmaņā hutam ǁ In the fire of creativity, all of one’s work is offered. Please note the wordings – it says the work is offered in the fire of creativity by creativity itself. The implicit meaning is that creativity is preceded by creativity, and followed by creativity with the works of individuals as the offerings to promote creativity.
- 18. Brahmeņa tena gantavyam Work done by each individual is driven by creative drive of human genes. New creativity is sponsored, so to say, by old creativity. But while the driver is previous creation, work (karma) pushes it forward.
- 19. Brahma karma samādhinā The end of all work is new creation. All work has to have an ending. It meets with death. Attains its Samādhi – fruitful end. The fruitful end of all work is new creativity.
- 20. Shiva – the Lord of Change – Lord of constant creativity – Nataraja - Dancer of creation – the eternal dancer. Change is the essence of creativity. Without change, creativity loses its value. Today shall be better than yesterday And tomorrow shall be better than today. This is the essence of this sloka.
