What Motivates You To Become Or Stay Healthy?

The concept of health and wellness differs greatly between people. Health can be the absence of disease, while wellness can imply a positive state of health in holism, encompassing the mental, emotional, spiritual, and even social aspects. Think about your own state of health. Do you consider yourself a healthy person? If so, what motivates you to be healthy? If not, what would motivate you to become so? 

 

NOTE: Please this is a discussion. Try to state the main point 150 words max.

What do you conclude from the answer given by the Objectivist spokesperson?

Applying Rand’s Objectivism

 

Required Resources: Thinking Critically about Ethical Issues by Vincent Ruggiero 8th Edition
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

  • Textbook: Chapter 8
  • Lesson
  • Minimum of 1 scholarly source 

Introduction
Ayn Rand’s Objectivist philosophy has been touted by her detractors as the philosophy of self-interested selfishness. Her four epistemological principles include the following:

  • Metaphysics: Objective reality of the world and the objects in it.
  • Epistemology: Reason as the one and only key to understanding.
  • Ethics: Self-interest not only in what behavior is but also what it should be.
  • Politics: Capitalism through the performance of deeds by individuals who are self-interested. 

In the early 1960s, a student asked a spokesman for Objectivism what would happen to the poor in an Objectivist’s free society. The spokesman answered, “If you want to help them, you will not be stopped.” Based on Rand’s works, Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead, one will conclude that this would be the answer Ayn would have given to that student as well. 

Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, address all of the following:

  • What do you conclude from the answer given by the Objectivist spokesperson?
  • Examine the notion that Objectivism, like moral relativism, is the opposite of ethics. Provide support for your position.
  • What clue in what she taught leads to your conclusion?

Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least two peers or one peer and the instructor. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.

Writing Requirements

  • Minimum of 3 posts (1 initial & 2 follow-up)
  • Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source)
  • APA format for in-text citations and list of references
 
 
 

Discuss how you would combine the two concepts to create visualizations for an ABM-Based Gaming simulation for policy making.

 Discuss how you would combine the two concepts to create visualizations for an ABM-Based Gaming simulation for policy making. First, describe what specific policy you’re trying to create. Let’s stick with the SmartCity scenario. Describe a specific policy (that you haven’t used before), and how you plan to use ABM-Based Gaming to build a model for simulate the effects of the policy. Then, describe what type of visualization technique you’ll use to make the model more accessible. Describe what data a new column for your policy would contain.  

 

Please include 3 references.

In what ways has your emotional intelligence grown?

The four components of emotional intelligence are, (1)self-awareness, (2) self-management, (3) social awareness, and (4) relationship management.

Self-Awareness is your level of awareness and how accurately you can assess your emotions. Many people are extremely busy and rarely take a step back to reflect on how they respond to situations in their everyday life. Another source of self-awareness is accessing how others respond to us. It is difficult to consider how others view us. We like to think they view us a certain way and can struggle to be objective and see things from another’s point of view. One way to improve in self-awareness is to include a time to be reflective. In addition, a person can seek out feedback from people who are honest and whose ideas are valued. Research shows that people who sought out negative feedback were much more self-aware and effective than those who sought out positive feedback. Self-awareness is key when managing others. In order to be an effective manager or leader a person must always be aware of the way they react in specific situations especially when they are difficult or could result in negativity.

Self-Management is the ability to control one’s emotions. This includes transparency, adaptability, achievement, and optimism. A key factor in superior self-management is whether or not a person reacts or responds appropriately to situations. For example, when an irritating email arrives in your inbox, is a response fired back immediately? Is there remorse and regret when reviewing how situations have been handled? Is there a lack of patience when dealing with others? When an individual reacts, most tend to do what comes naturally, which stimulates the emotional part of the brain. When a response is considered and acted upon, it generally goes against what is natural. This is the reason why a response is more difficult than a reaction because it engages the rational part of the brain. It is essential as an employee, a co-worker, or a supervisor to become skilled at self-management. There will be situations that may not go the way you would like them to or your ideas may not be chosen as the best solution to a company problem. To handle these situations with dignity and respect shows positive self-management.

Social Awareness is composed of organizational awareness, focus on service, and level of empathy. To improve on organizational awareness, a person must assess the emotional climate in groups and recognize power dynamics. In the same way, the ability to assess others’ needs to play into the focus on service. It is important to take an appropriate level of personal responsibility. All of these attributes are necessary for improving your value in the workforce. When you focus on others more than yourself you are able to adapt yourself to the emotional climate that coworkers produce, hence making effective teamwork possible.

Relationship Management is the ability to serve as an inspiring leader who instigates change, to collaborate with a high-functioning team, and to manage conflict. Those who excel in this area work well with a group in spite of the presence of stress, conflict, and diversity. This diversity includes people who have differing opinions than one’s own. The challenges that this may present can be solved by always listening to other people’s suggestions even if you do not agree. This way, you can still show kindness while still keeping your own opinion.

Diversity is a key ingredient in the process of developing your company’s success. Diversity skill training is an ever-growing need due to rapid growth in marketplace globalization and focuses on affirmative action. Strategies should be in place to help employees understand and avoid all forms of workplace discrimination and harassment. Employers and employees both should be provided with training to recognize and release preconceived ideas regarding cultural stereotypes. The success of a business depends upon the ability to collaborate with employees from all walks of life. A good business leader may facilitate cultural interaction by setting up lunch gatherings featuring different ethnic foods or perhaps creating company discussion panels or roundtable discussions that directly address diversity issues in the workplace. Acknowledging diversity and working together toward a common goal will result in continuous interaction, with understanding and tolerance to follow.
