Everyman does not resist death and even prepares for it by performing the religious rituals of the seven blessed sacraments and scourging himself. Through the performance of rituals Everyman is trying to attain the ultimate goal of reaching Heaven. He finds that the only character that will accompany him on his journey is Good Deeds, but she is weak. This represents the idea that he has not done enough good during his life and must now do something to change.

Everyman a late 15 century best known morality play has the ability not only to present the doctrine of salvation but to impact non-believers (Goldhamer). Elisabeth Kubler-Ross 's , On Death and Dying, argued that people have different perspective towards death (Goldhamer 2). The play allows us to experience the behavior or attitude that a dying person overcomes when their faced with death (Goldhamer 2). The treatment of the play towards the audience is more likely as a sermon that is preached (Pineas 160).
Life and death, everyone thinks about it at some point in their lives. Questions like, what could’ve been different, or what was done wrong and how could it be fixed. These questions are usually what come to mind when a person is at their final moments of his/her lives. Most of the time, he/she believes there was so much more than what he/she has been through whether for better or worse. Every human goes through this in some form, which leads to the creation of clinical teachings like the 5 stages of dying. These 5 stages consist of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The medieval play, Everyman displays this kind of questioning of life and death. The main character, Everyman, struggles with accepting the fact there is nothing he can do to keep everything he’s built up, which is mostly worldly possessions. Everyman, the play, is a prime example of when faced with death himself, one must come to the realization that worldly
“This is my only request, that you make four whirligigs, of a girl that looks like Lea. Put her name on them. Let people over all the countries receive joy from her even though she's gone.” For example Anthony who has a mum that controls his life and only wants to play baseball but gets forced to study and practice the piano everyday. Anthony then lies and does not practice. The solution to his problem was that he talked to a teacher about the whirligig he saw and told his mum that rest is needed. The whirligig shows that people work like a whirligig. If you keeping working without any rest you will break. It shows me that if we work at our own pace and set our own goals this will result in bringing a better quality in life. Even though Brent didn't know how much of an impact he left with the whirligigs, it had a big impact on others lives like Anthony as it is used to help overcome their challenge. This shows that the author is trying to teach us that our actions can leave a big impact on other people's lives which can either benefit them positively or negatively on us and others which depends on your decisions. Another example of Brent's action that impacted people's lives is a mexican man who is desperate for peace and quiet and wants to live alone. The marching band whirligig shows that family are always gonna be loud and have to deal with it, its normal. This shows
Oates drew the character of Connie very well - she possesses many of the qualities that teenaged children share. According to developmental psychologists, adolescents become highly critical of siblings, and peer relationships take precedence over familial ties during these years (Feldman, 455). These traits are apparent in Connie’s unflattering description of her older sister June, “…she was so plain and chunky…” (209) and the fact that Connie spends many nights out with friends, but refuses to attend an afternoon picnic with her family (211).
Many individuals are ‘guilty as charged’, regarding the use of traditional leadership methods. As a Theory X leader, many professions are conditioned to maintain order and control through direct leadership. However, as they begin to mature in their leadership roles, the paradigm may begin to shift. As leaders provide employees the opportunity to project input into major concerns/changes that affect them as a whole, they will see a major organizational shift. Hopefully this change will lead to the learning organization Senge envisioned as the leading concept for U.S. industries in the future.

Connie has the need to be viewed as older and as more mature than she really is, all the while still displaying childlike behavior. She shows this childlike behavior by “craning her neck to glance in mirrors [and] checking other people’s faces to make sure her own was all right” (Oates 323). This shows that Connie is very insecure and needs other people’s approval. Although on one side she is very childish, on the other side she has a strong desire to be treated like an adult. This longing for adulthood is part of her coming of age, and is demonstrated by her going out to “bright-lit, fly-infested restaurant[s]” and meeting boys, staying out with those boys for three hours at a time, and lying to her parents about where she has been and who she has been with (Oates 325, 326). “Everything about her ha[s] two sides to it, one for home and one for anywhere that was not home” (Oates 324). Even her physical movements represent her two-sided nature: “her walk that could be childlike and bobbing, or languid enough to make anyone think she was hearin...
Throughout the play Everyman asks the characters to accompany him on his journey to death. He starts with Fellowship, his friends, who promises to go with him until they are informed of the destination. They desert Everyman at that point. He calls upon people who are closer to him, Kindred and Cousin, his kinsmen. They also promise to “live and die together,” but, when asked to accompany Everyman, they remind of the things he never did for them and desert him. Everyman then calls upon Goods, his material possessions. Goods explains to him that they cannot go on the journey with him, so he is once again deserted. Good Deeds then gets called upon. They say that even though they want to go on the journey, they are unable to at the moment. They advise Everyman to speak to Knowledge. Knowledge is the one that brings Everyman on the journey to cleanse himself. They first go to Confession, which gives him a penance. Once he does his penance, Good Deeds is able to rise from the ground. They then call upon Discretion, Strength, Five Wits, and Beauty. At first they follow him on his journey, but when they approach his grave they race away as fast as they can. When he finally sinks into his grave, the only one that accompanies him is Good Deeds.

People always talk about how important it is for companies to have a good leader, someone who not only keeps the blue numbers, but also achieves a loyalty from customers, pleasant working environment, successful business partnerships and ahead of the competition.
As leaders, decisions are made every day, some more complicated than others, and many with serious consequences. Depending on the leadership style and the type of decision that must be made, there are various styles of decision-making at a leader’s disposal; for example, directive, analytical, conceptual, or behavioral (Azeska, Starc, & Kevereski, 2017). In the behavioral style of decision-making, it requires the leader to have deep concerns of the organization and the staff. Further, the behavioral style is used by leaders who are supportive of other’s goals and achievements and seeks suggestions from others when making decisions (Shavit, Cohen, Bogair, & Benzion, 2014). In the case of DPU, CEO Thomas made an authoritative and directive decision, using his logic and rational to make a quick decision without seeking suggestions from others in the organization. Perhaps, if CEO Thomas would have considered the ramification of others in his organization and was open to suggestions, a different decision would have been made. Directive styles are used by leaders who tend to be aggressive and autocratic, and decisions are made with minor information with no tolerance for vagueness or consensus (Azeska et al., 2017). Although directive style decision making might be appropriate for simple or insignificant changes, it would have been more appropriate to use the behavioral style of decision-making for creating a new executive position in an
