Postmodernism: Definitions

A 4 page overview of the era we know as postmodern. While the exact point in time that postmodernism is said to have began is difficult to pin down with any accuracy, many suggest that it began with the 1960s. The author of this paper notes the numerous meanings associated with the term postmodern as well as the many societal implications to this concept. Perhaps one of the most interesting and potentially devastating implications which has resulted in response to postmodernity is that of globalization and its consequent contributions to civil disobedience.

Pressure and Motivation
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the applicability of pressure in motivating individuals. Notes that managers have utilized a number of different approaches over the years in motivating individuals to accomplish various goals and objectives. Perhaps one of the most controversial of these is the application of pressure as a motivation enhancer. As difficult as it may be to accept, pressure is one of the most effective factors which can be implemented in the motivation of human beings. It should be noted, however, that pressure is not always manifested in a negative form. Pressure can also be extremely diverse in its manifestation. Much of the research regarding the factors which influence motivation in fact recognizes the importance of pressure in one aspect or another, they simply refer to it utilizing different terminology. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Professor Bernard Williams On Utilitarianism
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Bernard Williams, the Knightsbridge Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge University, believes that utilitarianism, while professing to protect the majority's quest for happiness, does nothing to promote individual rights. When assessing the Williams' concerns, it is important for the student to consider the fact that utilitarianism represents the belief that what serves the greatest number serves the greater good, rather than what is favorable for a few. Ethically speaking, Williams contends that a single entity cannot begin to know what is for the good of the majority when it comes to the pursuit of happiness, inasmuch as people perceive this aspect in significantly different ways.
