The Middle East has always been in conflict, from biblical times, to the crusades, and on through modern times. Since around 1900, the conflict has primarily been between two groups, Jews and Arabs. During this time, the British occupied the land and under their control the conflict remained minimal. But within months of their departure, and the division of the land between Israel and the surrounding Arab nations, war broke out. The Arabs were unhappy with the UN's divisions of the land, and in an attempt to obtain the land, which they believed was rightfully theirs; they attacked the State of Israel. To the surprise of many, the armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan fell to Israeli troops and instead of gaining land, they lost it. Almost twenty years later war broke out once more. This time Egypt had blocked off the Straits of Tiran, which supplied most of Israel's exports, and mobilized most of their fighting army on the border with Israel. Israel, instead of waiting for Egypt to attack first, Israel made the first move and attacked Egypt. Israel destroyed almost all of Egypt's bombers while they were still on the ground. Syria and Jordan both responded to this attack with an aerial assault on a few Israeli bases and war was waged. The war only lasted six days, hence the name The Six-Day War, and during this time Israel more than doubled its territory. They secured the Golan Heights to the north, the hills of Judea and Summaria to the east, and the Gaza Strip and the Sinai desert to the south. Besides the Sinai Desert, which was returned to Egypt as part of a peace agreement, most of these lands are part of Israel today. The Yom Kippur War was latter fought between the same countries but in this war no territory was gained or lost.
Palestinians, as they are now called, were the people that were left in the territories that were capture by Israel in the Six-Day War. Palestinians were unwanted by the countries of their origin, even specifically told to stay in Israeli refugee camps, and were forced to stay in Israel. The Palestinians now claim that the land is theirs and that Israel stole it from them. In response to the Israeli "theft" of their land, Palestinian terrorist groups have sent suicide bombers into prominent city squares, heavily populated markets, and on to multiple buses; all in the attempt of regaining the...

...specially since Israel has the upper hand in this situation; which ends up being tied behinds its back, a little bit because of fear of war and a little bit out of lack of American support; it shouldn't be the one who is required to give up something for nothing. But unfortunately it doesn't work that way, the peace process can't be tested, it isn't an equal agreement, and it isn't the next step to world peace, so it has no chance of surviving. Peace can't answer the problem. The terrorist won't stop until they get all of Israel, they have said so. The problem that believers in the process have is that they don't realize the motives of the terrorists, they don't want some land they want it all. Peace won't be able to satisfy that. Peace just won't work.

Bob Hawke once said; “Unless and until something concrete is done about addressing the Israeli-Palestinian issue you won't get a real start on the war against terrorism.” Perhaps Hawke put into a few simple words one of the most complicated issues within our world today, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As Israel continues to strip the Palestinians of their land and fears it’s very existence because of the Palestinians terrorist acts, there seems to be no solution in sight. The world appears to be split and all over the place when it comes to this matter. According to The Middle East Institute for Understanding approximately 129 countries recognize Palestine as a state while many others do not. Over all the political matters within this issue not only affect Palestine and Israel but the world as a whole, as the Middle East and the West seem to disagree. This has had and will continue to have an enormous impact on many political affairs all over the world particularly in the current fight against terrorism. Personally I feel that the Israeli Palestinian conflict while being a very complicated matter has a simple solution. Within this issue I am a firm believer that the occupation of the West Bank by Israeli forces is extremely unjust and must come to an end. Once this is achieved a two state solution will be the most effective way to bring peace to the area. The occupation of the West Bank violates political and legal rights, human rights, and illegally forces Palestinians who have lived in the area for hundreds of years from their land. This conflict is at the height of its importance and a solution is of dire need as nuclear issues arise in the Middle East due to the tension between Israel and it’s surrounding neighbors, and the...
Steven Stosny, author of “What’s Wrong With Criticism” for PhychologyToday.com, agrees that the two terms mean different things. According to Stosny, criticism focuses on what’s wrong, implies the worst about one’s personality, devalues and places blame (Stosny). Feedback, according to Stosny, focuses on behavior, encourages one’s potential and focuses on their future (Stosny). The largest culprit of misuse and misinterpretation of constructive criticism is found in relationships. This is where the line is often drawn between what makes “criticism” and “feedback” different, according to multiple
After World War II, the United Nations handed the Jewish people a piece a land so they could live together. This land known as Israel has holy places for the Jewish religion and is surrounded by Muslim countries. Before the United Nations relinquished the land to the Jewish people it belonged to the Palestinian Muslims. This land is important to the Muslims as they consider it holy. There is a religious belief among Palestinians to regain control of East Jerusalem as part of lasting peace region. Also Palestinians are in an occupied nation with Israelis have military rule. The Palestinians have retaliated with a terrorist network to attack innocent Israeli civilians. Israelis believe they must control the Palestinians with military force to protect against terrorism.
Coca-cola wants to create frustration and anxiety in their ad, which might catches more attention, but it’s not an agreeable strategy. The companies didn’t either share the same audience target. Pepsi targeted adults and Cola targeted women, but the main-idea was to obstruct the rival.
As agents of justice and philanthropists of duty one must evaluate the criminal justice system and its approaches to the solution of crime to determine what is good, appropriate, and what will reduce recidivism. As a western society the United States has changed and adapted its judicial system in hopes of conforming to our changing society and the increase in criminal behavior. Through these adaptations emerged a system within criminal justice that changes the focus of rehabilitation of the offender to not only include imprisonment, but to include reconciliation with the victims and the community that the offender harmed. The restorative justice approach takes a look at the crime, the criminal, and the offended; with hopes for healing and justice
Since the Arabs were living in Palestine when the Ottoman Empire control it. Since the Arabs defeated the Ottoman Empire with the help of from Germany, “Just short of 6 months the Palestinians were crushed, militarily and psychologically” (document 8) On the other hand, Israel grew beyond the partition lines, gained more defensible borders and they destroyed Arab homes reducing their population. The Palestinians rightly felt that the Israelis were taking over the area and were pushing out of lands promised to them in both the Balfour Declaration and the UN 1947 Partition.
The career in counseling psychology may have awkward hours. The biggest advantage would be being in a career that I find personally rewarding and fulfilling. Although I can honestly say that the pay for my career of choice is not one of the top priorities, I am glad to learn that this is a decent paying occupation. The average annual wage for a counseling psychologist in Georgia is $67,630, which breaks down to around $33 an hour. In Atlanta specifically, the average annual pay is $103,370. The outlook in this career is definitely positive; growth is increasing and is estimated at 65%. Atlanta is among the group of regions that have a stable outlook in a career involving counseling psychology. A typical day in the life of a counseling psychologist can vary greatly, depending on the type of business the psychologist works for. Private offices make their own hours, but those working in hospitals and other health care facilities may have irregular hours, working night or weekend shifts. Those working in teams may feel the pressure to meet expectations of the group and deadlines, and may end up traveling some. Any career in the counseling
In Feedback as a gift, Friedrich discusses his points on how feedback should be viewed. The author describes feedback as a gift and if we view it that way it would change our mindsets when receiving it. On another note the article by Stone and Heen, Difficult conversations 2.0: Thanks for the feedback, the main focus is on the benefits we receive from accepting feedback and becoming a skillful receiver. The author also discusses why we as humans reject feedback calling these reactions triggers. In Max Performance Feedback, Sadri and Seto discuss the three different types of feedback. Each articles content is crucial to one’s professional development.
The 360-degree feedback system can be very delicate in nature. A person not well ready for it could be thrown out of balance. It can also generate some new problem in an organisation. It not designed and conducted well, it posses the potential danger of a candidate developing wrong perceptions or notions about one or more of his auditor and creating new perspective towards them. It is therefore, unavoidable and significant to handle the process well and make it foolproof. The first important step is to examine whether the organisation is ready for it or not. The second important step is to examine if the candidate is ready for it. For the purpose of systematic analysis and examination of the problem at hand, the studies by the several researchers have been reviewed. Baron, (2009) examines that managers who received upward feedback about their supervisory behaviour significantly improved their behaviour and improves the subordinate ratings of managerial performance. Similarly, Baron, (2009) found that employees were favourably disposed toward associate rating. The feedback is positively related with fulfilment with prior peer ratings and negatively associated with perceived friendship bias and years of company experience. Subordinates’ ratings of leadership were significantly higher following feedback from subordinates under which a highly structured session is there where leaders discussed the feedback results with subordinates (Baron, 2009).
Terrorism in the Middle East has brought the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the attention of the world. These terrorist groups use murder, bombs, threats, and other violent acts to get their way politically. Hamas, the organization that has replaced Fatah as the representative of the Palestinians, is a leading sponsor of terrorism. The Hamas are the leading reason there is not peace in the middle east as they strongly embrace terrorism.

...les of her failure was given to her. Also she feels as through she was caught of guard when her manager gave her the feedback. She thinks that this style of feedback is not helping her to succeed or become a better employee at the company.
Some people are willing to accept feedback and seek it out, even if it is sometimes disturbing, because they believe they can grow from it. It comes down to whether you believe feedback will harm you or benefit you.
Feedback is giving a response or aftermath description of the work being done. By receiving feedback, one is given the
