Accountability Behavior: Case Study

Iconic figures will always have their ups and downs, but their downs are something to remember because of the journey he or she may take to bring his or herself back up. Robin Williams was an actor and also a comedian. He was well known for his roles as the funny characters, that you’d see on Disney. One film really stood out to the audiences and it was his role as Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting. In the movie, the speech that Sean gives to Will is a comparison of his life to Will’s life by expressing his feelings about his life using ethos, pathos, and logos giving Will an idea about trying to live his own life instead of knowing about life.

The video I chose to write about was “Don’t eat the marshmallows!”, a TED talk given by Joachem de Posada in 2009. Mr. de Posada was a very entertaining speaker and introduced a follow up study and also a similar study done in Colombia. Walter Mischel, PhD, first performed the Marshmallow study more then 40 years ago. Mischel instructed preschoolers that if they waited to eat the marshmallow until his return to the room they could have another. The results were not too surprising – 2 out 3 ate the marshmallow, each lasting various amount of time before they gave in.

The majority of people regard adolescence as a tumultuous time, so it comes as no surprise that it is the focus of many literary works. Few, however, match the grandness of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In the timeless tale, two “star-crossed lovers” meet their demise. Undoubtedly, their actions are lamentable, but fault lies on more sources than solely them. Romeo and Juliet cannot be entirely blamed for their love’s outcome because of rampant emotions, neglectful parents, and an increased enticement in harmful activities.

Leaders set the ground rules for the behavior and performance of soldiers he or she is over. If they take liability for their achievements and their failures, it makes it easy for soldiers to admire and emulate. Moreover, it sets the morals and principles that are essential towards achieving accountability. Accountability promotes trust. In different situations, accountability means that one is ready to commit to something and be responsible enough to see it to the end. In such an event, one earns trust from the people around as they have established that one is trustworthy with a particular situation., accountability is an expression of integrity towards accounting for their actions if they fail to honor their commitment and work towards making the situation better. A reliable individual enjoys autonomy, confidence, and leeway to conduct one’s work. Accountability ensures performance by making sure all soldiers work towards a common goal. When one is answerable to their actions, it eliminates events of them engaging in behavior and activities detrimental to their jobs. An organization achieves performance by the leadership outlining the goals and expectations of each employee and

This paper is an evaluation of the character Will Hunting from the movie Good Will Hunting. In this paper, I will discuss Will Hunting’s character’s life designs that can only be attributed to cognitive processes, biological and environmental influencers, and limited feelings of self-efficacy. It is important to note that the character played as the therapist can be evaluated as well because he was also helped by the same measures taken in therapy. However,

For example, Mr. Hansen knew David had problems at school which usually originated from his home life, Mr. Hansen took no action to help David’s situation. For instance, Mr. Hansen once called David’s mother to ask his bruises. This called led to more beating from his mother. The next day the principal saw this and instead of taking action, Mr. Hansen never called David’s mother again. Mr. Hansen’s decision to not help David with the obvious abuse he was receiving at home is a problem. The solution in this situation should have been to talk to David privately and develop a relationship and trust with him. That would have made David feel comfortable with his principal which could have resulted in him telling the truth about his mother and the abuse. Then the principal could have taken action on David’s mother in order to get David out of the house and into a safe

Emotional self-regulation operates through three subprincile: the self-monitoring, judgment of one’s behavior, and affective self-reaction (Bandura n.d., p. 248). Self-monitoring includes the awareness of oneself to his/her action, the judgement of behavior is observing the pattern toward doing something to affect it, and the affective self-reaction includes the mechanisms that regulate the courses of actions (Bandura n.d., p.

What I didn’t know though, was all the different things that go into this. Like for example, the book talks about accountability. “Accountability means that you recognize responsibility for your own choices and actions (Donatelle, Rebecca J. 2017). Although, I have previously learned the meaning of accountability, what I didn’t know or realize is that in order to have a good relationship with yours, you had to be accountable for yourself. Now thinking about it after reading, I can see why it is so important. Being accountable for your actions not only makes you personally feel more matuature, it also makes you feel good about yourself in the long run which will strengthen your relationship with yourself. Being accountable may not feel good right away, especially if the consequences are negative, but eventually it will make you will realize why it is good for you. The book also states that if you are accountable to yourself, then “you don’t hold others responsible for positive or negative experiences” (Donatelle, Rebecca J. 2017) . If you hold others responsible, then you can start feel guilty which is going to affect your relationship with yourself negatively. After reading this, I now am going to think about this more when i’m in these situations. Overall, I personally agree with this information and I also feel it is important, even if it is hard to do

As a researcher at the mindset has declared that "the mere act of making a decision (passing a person from a predecisional one postdecisional state) leads to an increase in internal motivation and better performance." 12 The positive effects of the implementation mindset must be weighed against potential adverse effects, however. As mentioned above, the implementation mindset shown to promote illusions control. People in this mindset often mistakenly believe that they can control the results that are actually out of control, and can therefore devote considerable time and resources to achieve unattainable goals. In a random game of chance, a person who is keen to win the game will think that she can check the results of game.14 Mindset theory reveals thus an interesting way as a cognitive orientation mediate risk perception. Research has shown that there is a significant difference between overlay forming and implementation mindset when it comes to the perceived sensitivity of the risks and benefits. For example, in several studies involving students, participants were asked to consider a number of events, such as being in a car accident, develop alcohol problems, losing a partner to premature death, or being robbed. Students who had founded to be in the implementation mindset exhibited more pronounced illusions of invulnerability than they had founded to be the deliberative mindset.16 None of these claims means that a person is capable of deliberation when she adopted a plan or a goal. The thinking is cognitive guidelines, but they do not take over the mental life agents plan. In reality, the relationship between planning and carrying thinking complex. Action phases may overlap, and people who complete a goal may be asked to deliberate on another.18 Moreover, the everyday fact that people can and change their minds. New information may
