07 reflection ppt_st. ignatius ideals_july 16_ms. a_lvarez(1)
This document discusses how the ideals of St. Ignatius shaped the author's decision to return money they found on two separate occasions. Both times, the author heard their conscience telling them to do the right thing and return the lost money rather than keep it. By working at Ateneo for many years, the author had absorbed Ignatian ideals like having a well-formed conscience and choosing the more difficult road of doing what is right and choosing God's will. The document ends with a prayer of St. Ignatius about generosity.

1. The document discusses Moses and the biblical story of the Exodus, in which Moses leads the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt.
2. It describes how God calls upon Moses to demand that the Pharaoh free the Israelites, and the 10 plagues God inflicts upon Egypt when Pharaoh refuses.
3. After the 10th plague kills the firstborn sons of Egypt, Pharaoh finally agrees to let the Israelites go, beginning the Exodus. Moses then leads the Israelites to Mount Sinai, where God gives Moses the Ten Commandments as laws for the Israelites.
Go local presentation1
This document provides information about a new local television show called "Go Local" that will air on Wednesdays and Sundays from 7-8 PM. The show will promote local people, places and products throughout Kentucky. Amy Hess will host the show and provide hyper-local segments focused on Eastern Kentucky. The document also outlines various sponsor opportunities for the show, including title sponsorship, presenting sponsorship, general sponsorship, and participating sponsorship through on-site interviews.
Age discrimination
This document discusses ageism and discrimination based on age. It defines ageism as stereotyping, prejudice, or discrimination against individuals due to their age. Several examples of ageism are provided, such as teenagers being viewed with suspicion, older individuals denied health insurance or told to retire based on their age alone. The document examines ageism through the lenses of symbolic interactionism and activity theory, suggesting that negative stereotypes lead to ageism and that remaining active benefits older adults. Statistics show ageism is widespread in Canada. To address it, the document argues for raising awareness, challenging ageist beliefs, and upholding rights and freedoms regardless of age.
004 301 training quality system management regulations, gmp (2)
The document discusses Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) regulations developed by the FDA to ensure quality in medical device manufacturing. GMP procedures help ensure consistency and quality control in production and testing. The FDA enforces GMP through inspections and can deem devices adulterated if manufactured in violation of GMP guidelines. Complying with GMP is therefore mandatory for medical device manufacturers. The presentation then goes on to discuss specific GMP guidelines and principles around defined and controlled manufacturing processes, documentation, training, record keeping, complaints handling and more.
Shinto search for meaning
Shinto provides a distinctive response to finding human meaning through its focus on living simply and harmoniously with nature. It sees the spiritual as part of the natural world rather than transcendent. Shinto encourages adherents to appease powerful natural forces through sincerity and respect. It emphasizes daily rituals and festivals to connect with ancestral spirits and affirm society. Shintoism sees humans as inherently good and focuses on living with openness and gratitude rather than following strict rules. Nature is seen as a source of spiritual answers, and Shinto poetry expresses awe and appreciation for life's mystery. The goal is to achieve immortality among ancestral spirits by avoiding impurity and fulfilling one's duties so that one can be remembered after death.

This chapter discusses intersectionality and how various identities like gender, race, class, and nationality intersect and contribute to discrimination in the workplace. It examines how work is a gendered institution that maintains systems of sexism and racism. Some key topics covered include off-ramping and on-ramping for women, the small number of stay-at-home dads, pregnancy discrimination, emotions in the male-dominated workplace, global inequality issues, care work intersectionality, and sexual harassment. The chapter argues that understanding these intersections is important for analyzing power dynamics and gender relations in organizations.
Gender issues
The document discusses gender issues and how they arise from gender gaps caused by socially determined roles of women and men. It defines sex as the biological differences between males and females, while gender refers to the economic, social and cultural roles, opportunities, and expectations associated with being male or female in a society.
Diversity And Inclusion
The document discusses the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, defining key terms and outlining best practices for effectively managing diversity such as emphasizing its value, eliminating misconceptions, improving management, and developing greater productivity while enhancing human relations by respecting differences among all individuals. It also addresses challenges like discrimination and biases that can arise without proper diversity management.
Diversity in the workplace
The document discusses diversity in the workplace. It defines diversity and outlines laws from the 1960s that promoted diversity and prohibited discrimination. Research on diversity has found both benefits like increased innovation and creativity, as well as potential negatives like conflict. Whether diversity has positive or negative effects depends on factors like organization size and culture. Many organizations now provide diversity training to increase awareness and promote effective management of diverse workplaces, though discrimination still exists in some companies.
Managing Diversity at Workplace
The document discusses diversity and managing diversity in the workplace. It defines diversity as individual acceptance and respect of differences. It lists various elements of diversity including age, gender, ethnicity, and provides ways to incorporate diversity such as recruiting from diverse talent pools. Managing diversity is defined as planning and implementing practices to maximize the advantages of diversity. The benefits of diversity in the workplace include improved customer service, employee morale, and creativity. Challenges of ignoring diversity include conflicts and loss of productivity.
Discrimination in the workplace
This document summarizes a 1973 Supreme Court case, Cleveland Board of Education v. Lefleur, in which female teachers challenged mandatory maternity leave policies on the grounds that they discriminated against pregnant women. The policies required women to take unpaid leave early in their pregnancy and prohibited them from returning to work until the following semester after giving birth. The women argued this violated their 5th and 14th amendment rights. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the school board's policies were overly restrictive and in violation of the due process clause of the 5th and 14th amendments as well as the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
HOW FAMILY WORKS
The document provides an overview of understanding family dynamics and functioning. It discusses how families are systems with interdependent relationships rather than just individuals. Family roles, secrets, myths and resistance to change contribute to dysfunctional patterns. While all families have flaws, healthier families maintain balance through respect, problem-solving and flexibility.
Family communication collage
The document analyzes the television show Breaking Bad through the lens of family communication, discussing how the White family interacts and communicates while balancing Walter's secret life as a drug producer. Key aspects of the White family such as their family type, themes, rituals, stories, conflicts, and decision making processes are examined based on concepts from family communication literature. The analysis provides insight into both the strengths and strains within the White family system.

This document discusses gender roles and expectations within families. It notes that the traditional nuclear family model of a father who works and a mother who cares for the home and children is an ideal that few families actually achieve. Gender roles are taught from a young age, with girls socialized as caretakers and boys as leaders. However, families and relationships are changing as divorce has increased, single parenthood is more common, and expectations around gender and relationships have become more fluid. The document also addresses the prevalence of domestic violence and abuse within families.
Family
The document discusses how families are influenced by gender, sex, communication, and society. It defines family and gender, and explains how communication in families shapes understandings of gender and family norms. It discusses the idealized nuclear family model and how actual families vary in their composition of gender, size, and roles. The myths of the self-sufficient nuclear family are debunked, noting that families rely on outside support and come in many forms beyond the heterosexual nuclear model. Gender and family roles are presented as social constructs learned early in life rather than innate, and the document advocates for more flexible roles and gender tolerance in families.

Domestic Violence Presentation
Domestic violence is a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors used by an intimate partner to gain power and control over the other. It includes physical, sexual, and psychological attacks, as well as economic coercion. Federal and state laws define and punish domestic violence, while providing protections for victims. Signs of domestic violence include injuries, personality changes, fear of conflict, and aggressive behavior in children. The cycle of violence typically involves a tension building phase, an acute battering incident, and a honeymoon phase. Both heterosexual and homosexual relationships can involve domestic violence, though resources for help have traditionally focused more on heterosexual women.
