ROLE CONFLICT AND ROLE TAKING





 A. Role Conflict


A few months ago, I was studying for a competitive exam. It was a challenging exam, and I had to give it my all in order to pass. I used to study at all hours of the day and night in order to attain my target, which would help me flourish in life. I was really well prepare
d, and my exams were just a month away. I was certain that if I prepared at a same pace, I would get acceptable results. One day, my dog was playing with my socks and dragging them around the house in his mouth, which is very typical and unremarkable. When I went to get my socks back from him, I realised one was gone. I didn't care and imagined he'd forgotten about it in some other room, so I quickly continued my studies. I had the sensation that my dog was unwell two or three days later while I was engaged with him, but there were no obvious signs of illness, so I continued to monitor him. The next day, he puked and had a fever. I had great suspicions that he had accidentally eaten the missing sock. To inspect him, I hurried to the nearest veterinarian facility. We used an X-ray to find out if he had eaten it. The doctor gave him some liquid, which led him to puke out the sock, and he was put on medicine for the next seven days. I had no choice but to look after him because no one else could. After around 6 days, he was OK and back to his usual puppy self. I had an exam coming up in about a week, and I wasn't able to study as much as I had hoped due to having to care for my cat. I took my exam and obtained a passing mark, despite the fact that I received an ordinary grade. I was divided between caring for my ailing cat and studying in this scenario. I did what I believed was proper since it is my moral and greatest obligation as the pet's owner to care for him. With the stress of the exam and my anxiety for my closest buddy, it was hard for me to study.


B. Role Taking


I recently saw an argument between a young boy and an older guy. Despite the fact that the youth was not at blame, he made a mistake that caused the old man to assume he was the one who had committed the error. The boy began to raise his voice, and the old man became even more stern with him. From afar, I deduced that, given his age, the kid shouldn't argue with the elderly; instead, he should ignore the reprimands and attempt to persuade the elderly that he wasn't at fault. However, as they say, easier said than done. I contemplated changing my viewpoint. I imagined what I would do if I were in that little boy's position. I would have replied by arguing or yelling at the old guy for scolding me without offering any evidence or facts about my error. I've taken on the role of the naive child and changed my thoughts to better understand that innocent boy's feelings and point of view when he was being reprimanded. However, I feel there was a more effective way of dealing with the matter.

"Brand history of Dove"

Image
Dove is an American bath and body care cosmetics company that was started in 1955. Unilever now controls the company, which sells soaps, moisturisers, and deodorants all over the world, making it one of the most popular budget cosmetics brands. Dove tried to stand out in the personal care business rather than blend in. Dove Beauty Bar was the first Dove-branded foray into the soap market, produced by Lever Brothers in 1957. Dove's soap advertising made similar attempts to set themselves apart, claiming that Dove soap was "much better for your skin" than regular soap due to its mildness. Dove soap was developed during World War II as a consequence of product development research into ways to treat burn victims, and it was initially introduced as a moisturising soap in the 1950s by Unilever in the United States. As early as 1957, the plain Dove soap bar was marketed as a "beauty bar" for ladies, claiming that regular soaps would dry out their skin while bathing, w...

 Meaning, Role, and Status of Social Groups, and Their Impact on Personality Individuals interacting with one another make up society. As a member of society, you are classified into many classes and groups based on social factors such as gender, occupation, race, caste, religion, faith, ideology, and so on. On the basis of shared interests, an individual might be a member of a variety of social groupings. A guy is taught to be a man by society. Culture and conventions shape an individual's personality and make him desirable to live among individuals of his type. People gather together and interact to meet shared needs, making it simpler to survive in a group. As a result, becoming a part of a group and adapting to its norms is critical.

Organisational Change and learning

Image
 As a result of rapid changes in the corporate environment and increased rivalry, the concept of "organisational learning" has gained traction in recent decades. Organizations that enhance their learning capabilities acquire a competitive edge, remain innovative, and significantly raise their top and bottom line profitability. Learning about organisational change is a continual and dynamic process that leads to long-term changes. The emergence of new concepts and practises, their retention and integration into present processes, and their subsequent application in routines are all part of organisational learning. It also aids the organisation in gaining additional knowledge. Flexible organisations are better equipped to adapt to changing circumstances. They are significantly more effective than inflexible ones at detecting and resolving issues, as well as finding the best possible course of action in any given circumstance. Organizations that are willing to test new technique...
