1. Type of Governance
In my opinion, private self-governance is the most appropriate type of governance to describe the photo of Floating House. Private self-governance means that no intervention from the state. The policy formulation and implementation are completely in the hand of private sector, in this case is the family who lives in the Floating House. From the photo, it can be seen that they are free from the state intervention to live in the Floating House. It looks like they are free to build such a house which is look fragile and endanger the occupant, especially children since it has no safety fence that will keep the children fall into the water. There are also no restrictions from the state in placing the house close to the cliff, the position where it might be vulnerable to falling materials may fall from the cliff or

As the state provide public goods and services, in the example above, the state provide security patrol. The interest of the state to the Floating House is to provide security. The photo might tell that the children is not accompanied by their parent which is might be work, so the state must ensure the security of the neighbourhood. The Floating House also important to the state as its existence determines where they should patrol. It is also important for the state as they use it as a tool for planning the budget in delivering the services. The Floating House has a great influence to the state especially in how the state delivering security patrol and how to improve the services. Performance of the state in delivering security patrol can be seen from the level of public satisfaction and it can be done through a survey. The result of the survey will influence the service deliver by the state. For example, if currently they do patrol once a day and after conducting a survey, evidently the people want the state to do twice a day patrol, then it will become the state concern to fulfil the people
Through the physical structure appearance of the neighborhood, there is a brick wall surrounding the neighborhood with only the front entrance to enter and leave the neighborhood. This seclude the area from the general public making it almost hidden except the front entrance. Mobile homes set tightly side by side one another in rows across the neighborhood. Homeowners are able to surveillance the front area of their homes to see any interaction happening. Another factor that does indicate the neighborhood to be safe is the public interaction around an area of the neighborhood which includes, a small playground with a basketball court, outdoor pool, a banquet room, and the manager’s office. The playground is an area where children play and interact with another. There are times when children are playing without any adult supervision, this suggests that parents believe it is safe enough to leave children alone at the playground. Also, it is near the manager’s office which monitors the neighborhood. Fortunately, my home is right in front of this area, so I am able to see any interaction going on by just looking through my window. As far as social control, the manager does regularly check the neighborhood to ensure that everything is going by smoothly. If there is any problem what so ever, then the manager sends out papers to inform the homeowners about any issue or new information. The neighborhood is relatively quiet with the
“God’s own country, “Kerala, is a coastal state. It is dotted with small fishing villages. In the 1970s, high waves would wash away many villages with routine hits. So, every year the affected fishermen and women would receive a government compensation for clothing, blankets, nets and even replacement huts. In 1974, an architect living and working in Thiruvananthapuram approached the Chief Minister and suggested an alternate solution. He proposed that instead of giving away State resources as compensation each year,

A leadership theory is a clarification of some features of leadership; theories have practical importance as they are being used for better understanding, anticipating, and controlling successful leadership. Hence, the main principle of any theory is to inform practice(Lussier and Achua 2009). Leadership theories could be classified into eight main categories: Great man, trait, behavioral, contingency, Situational, Participative, Relationship , management (Cherry 2010).
The idea of Individualism can be traced all the way back to England before America’s existence. As we know, individualism has been interpreted in many forms throughout history. The 19th century is no different, taking hold of its own idea of individualism, called transcendentalism. Transcendentalism suggests freedom should not be confined to those focused on money and superficial gains. Instead, people should depend on no one but themselves. This movement focused on “greater individualism against conformity” (Corbett et al.). Heavily influenced by the Romantic period, transcendentalism adopted the belief that reason was more important than logic as Benjamin Franklin has believed. Reason must also include unique emotion and spirit (Corbett et
Personal responsibility is the idea that people have full control over their actions. Things like basic health and hygiene can be seen as personal responsibility because they are actions that are carried out independently. In my life, I don’t have to shoulder responsibilities all by myself because my sister helps me balance things out. Although I am still solely responsible for the outcome of my decisions, it is easier for me to act reasonable with help by my side. Personal responsibility to me is the act of taking care of yourself while owning up to any mistakes you made.
A team is a group of individuals, all working together for a common purpose. The individuals comprising a team ideally should have common goals, common objectives and more or less think on the same lines. Individuals who are not compatible with each other can never form a team. They should have similar if not the same interests, thought processes, attitude, perception and likings.
It is often said that some people are born leaders. However, I believe that my leadership skills have not necessarily been innate, but one that I have gradually learned and developed.
“We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.” Responsibility is a big part I am at college and have a job here today which a reason for everyone but for me that didn’t sit in till freshman year of high school I was care free until football. What I had to do was to work together on the field also in the classroom or I would let the team down. Our coach always told us there is teamwork, hard work, and respectful will follow us around for the rest of your life that’s what we are going to learn. I would have to say looking back on it I definitely learn those things from what I did make a better person I would have to thank him for that too.
In the novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, Huxley's world asserts that in order to maintain stability, individuality must be sacrificed. In Brave New World life is free of illness and old age, scientists are able to produce babies that fit the skills of their future jobs exactly. They have advanced jobs and technology for prevention and improvement in their world. The need for stability illustrated a government solidity demanding robots, they divide humans into various castes. The Worlds State's motto is "community, identity, stability". Maintaing stability plays an important role in their society. "Brave New World" can be interpreted as a science fiction futuristic nightmare. In the novel, in order to stabilize society, "Bokanovksy's Process is one of the major instruments of social stability" (Huxley 7). A world where humans are genetically bred and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling World State, this pharmaceutical anesthetic goes by the name of Soma. Soma is introduced further on into the story for a particular reason such as... Before the World State, the instability caused by strong emotions led to disease, war, social unrest and millions of deaths. In "Brave New World" the consequences of state control are a loss of dignity, morals, values and identity. "'Yes, everybody's happy now,'echoed Lenina. They had heard the words repeated a hundred and fifty times every night for twelve years" (Huxley 74). The victims of the World State hear what they are told to hear, and listen to what they are told to listen to, they are technically brainwashed.
The term ‘leadership’ has no definition, for it is defined different ways in the minds of people. A leader will ingrain a sense of positivity and necessity towards the set goal using the power of written and spoken word. The qualities of a leader differentiate between between each society.
Erik Erikson composed a theory of psychological development that was composed of eight stages. Erikson’s theory focuses on how personalities evolve throughout life as a result of the interaction between biologically based maturation and the demands of society. According to Erikson, “Each stage of human development presents its characteristic crises. Coping well with each crisis makes an individual better prepared to cope with the next.” (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2013, p. 314) According to Erikson’s eight stages of development, I have only been through six of the eight stages.
The second issue that I identified, relates to autonomy or self-determination. I struggled with labelling this fundamental concept in the social work discipline. My first blatant encounter with this issue occurred during the week of September 14th while I was attending a vigil. The patient was actively dying and requested that his spouse turn on the television. Initially she refused, she feared that it would agitate him and prevent him from resting. Since the patient was diagnosed with cancer rather than dementia, I felt that he was aware of what he was asking for and knew what he wanted. I directed by questions towards his spouse, because I did not want her to feel like I was trying to override her rules. I asked her if he normally watches
Successful leaders must be skilled in asking their team members questions that will provide useful answers. As stated “If people aren’t giving you helpful answers to your questions, maybe your asking the wrong questions” (Dennis, 2011, para. 1). Questions are essential in keeping a project on track, and are used to help identify any issues or constraints that could affect the outcome of the project. If a leader fails to ask questions they will not know if the project faces any challenges. If the project is facing a challenge, the number one question to ask is “Can we fix it” (Pink, 2010, para. 4). Leadership and management will be unable to help resolve issues if they don’t that they exist. The only way to know if their project is facing any challenges is simply by asking the right questions.
As discussed above, scholars’ attitudes towards self-determination correlate with their understanding about the link between self-determination and democracy. Intrinsically linked with the idea of democracy, self-determination was to correct the arbitrariness and injustices of dynastic rule. In theory, self-determination could be said to refer to the practice by which individuals freely express their political will by choosing their own government and, at this stage, a reference to nationalism appears by no means necessary. The problem arises when the principle of self-determination is put into practice (xxx, xxx).
