Tricking and Deceiving Making a person or thing hard to get is a bad way to get what one wants, because it fools people and tricks them. According to The New York Times, in the article, “The States of Forced Labor”, it states, “First, securing a position often means paying a local recruiter a $2,000 fee, usually obtained through a loan with an extortionate interest rate . . . the terms of which may state that the job pays only $200 a month, far less than promised, with housing costs deducted from that. This leaves approximately $100 a month — barely enough to cover the loan interest on their recruiting fee.” (The New York Times). The Middle East created a trick so many people that needed jobs would come. The jobless people do not know that …show more content…
For example by making work special other people are going to want to take over your work. However this is incorrect, because this method actually teaches laziness. According to Scott Francis, in the article “Taking the Easy Way Out Instead of Doing the Hard Work”, he states, “It’s tempting to take shortcuts or the path of least resistance. But beyond being lazy, it can also seriously undermine your recruiting goals and your reputation.” Francis shows that taking the easy way can result in serious trouble. Later in life people will stop working, trying to find the easy way out. The problem with this is there isn’t always an easy way out. In Mark Twain’s novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom tricks people into whitewashing for him by making the job special and hard to do. Tom tells people that it has to be done in a very certain way so other people will find it interesting. After Tom operates his method he goes away and plays with toys. If Tom will never work he will become lazy and immature. In my life, these experiences have happened. When I was younger I would try to make it so that counting numbers was fun. Many people wanted to try to attempt my work at a price. After they stopped paying I procrastinated my work at school because of laziness, and I had trouble keeping up. As shown above, looking for an easy way out for work is not the answer, because this practice
Example. When one way of solving a problem does not work they try another way, staying
Everybody would say they would work harder but in reality 1/4 of everybody would want to take shortcuts by cheating. Mick the main character in Carl Deuker's novel Gym Candy contributes to the theme, that over expectations on someone is like tying a 250 pound rock on them you slowly start bringing them down, just like Mick's dad did and all the High School football fans.
For example, if a child has strict parents and his parents force him into being a engineer but the child wants to be a construction worker. Therefore, parents want you to have a good and high paying job, but it is more important to have a job you like. The person will regret making a choice they were forced to make when they were a child. Lastly, people tend to be better at something they like, than at things they do to follow “traditions” of their society. “Through the square below rode squadrons of lancers, dragoons and hussar, batteries of horse artillery; behind them marched regiments of infantry” (130).
In today’s society the rich have learned how to work smarter not harder across several markets and those who lack adaptability, confidence, inspiration, and drive continue to do what has been tried and proved which is to work hard (using mental, physical, and emotional capabilities to make others
The thematic statement, “Ambition may lead to negative outcomes” is very true and unfortunately has applied to me. In the summer of 2010, I found myself to be very ambitious and I wanted to learn how to swim, so i asked my grandma to sign me up for swimming lessons. I was very excited, but I was also very nervous. When she finally agreed to sign me up, i was was bursting with excitement. The anticipation was growing and my swimming class were only a week or so away, and I was extremely excited.
That is a risk that few people take because they never want the responsibility of having to work for something. Life can only be lived by those who work hard for their achievements and follow through on their ideas and goals. It is the people who never work for anything that are unhappy with what they see when they look back at their lives because they have achieved nothing to be proud of. Just the fact that they tried to better themselves by living more provides a sense of fulfillment.
For example, employees are highly encouraged to outpace each other in their sales figure to win the awards (“Pacesetter”, “Customer Service All Star”, etc.). That intense pressure sometimes leads to using all means possible to surpass a colleague, it can even imply backstabbing. Furthermore, if some employees want to be more honest with their off-the-clock work, they are labeled as ‘weak’ and are pressured to do whatever it takes to increase their SPH.
People seldom have tendencies of getting in their own way when they do not strive to overcome self-defeating behaviors. Such behaviors not only have the power to incapacitate one's best plans and most enthused ventures but also injure one's relationships with others. An individual who wants to avoid such awkward, damaging and thwarting errors must keep his mind open and must show a willingness to do something about such behaviors (Nelson 1999, 18).

In recent years, millions of female middle eastern immigrants have fled the oppressive regimes from which they came from to seek safety in the U.S. During this seemingly abrupt process. However, many have found themselves sandwiched between the barriers of internal country complications and external country complications. These barriers are evident in the other side of the sky, when the farah is attempting to leave her home country but she can not legally travel in public, and when Farah is seeking citizenship in the U.S, she finds herself having a very hard time navigating through the process. Immigration is long and dangerous process for many, and these barriers near-perfectly account for why so many would-be-immigrants, decide not to leave.
1), report that TFWs in the Gulf States face “the kafala system, an oppressive employment system that quashes worker mobility by forcing migrant workers to continue their employment relationship with abusive employers” (ADHRB, 2014, pg. 5) and that “[TFWs] often find themselves given wages at a less-than-subsistence level, or can even have their wages completely withheld for up to years at a time...Runaways are labeled illegal, and can be detained for years or deported at their own expense” (ADHRB, 2014, pg. 6). “There is a general unawareness about the plight of migrant workers among police and the public ... [TFWs], who are often viewed negatively and blamed for stealing jobs from native Bahrainis ... are often themselves blamed for the abuses that they suffer. In order for meaningful change to occur, attitudes that are more compassionate to migrant workers need to be encouraged among the general public” (ADHRB, 2014, pg.
working for them in the end, less likely to become them. This is a psychological truth
In our society today not everyone can achieve what they want to get even if they try really hard. There are too many people who are taking up jobs and not enough for the people that want them. The hard work they put in will not matter.
Is bluffing in business ethical? I feel that the answer to this question will differ depending on who you ask. If you ask an executive in a major company a question of that sort, they might say that from time to time you have to be deceitful in order to keep the company or business afloat and running properly. That means if you have to deceive the customer, dealer, labor union, or other departments in your organization when negotiating with any of them then it will all be for a good cause. As Albert Carr states, bluffing in business is a “game” and you have to treat it as such in order to thrive. I am not going to be naïve when talking about this matter. Because I know that if most managers, CEO’s, and supervisors did not bluff every now and then, that most opportunities would be missed and the company most likely would lose some sort of competitive edge in the business world. This “game” is played from the bottom levels of corporate America all the way to the top. I do not think that bluffing in business is ethical; however I understand that it is inevitable in a society that bluffs all the time in any given situation. Most people compare this concept of bluffing to that used in the game of poker. In poker, the winner is the person who has the steady skills in the long run. You have to know every aspect of the rules, be aware of the mindsets and psychology of the people you’re playing with, be disciplined, and respond almost automatically to the opportunities that are
