Empatija je pomembna medosebna sposobnost, ki omogoča posamezniku, da se postavi v psihološki okvir doživljanja druge osebe. S tem postane to, kar druga oseba čuti in misli, ter način, kako druga ...oseba deluje, v določeni meri razumljivo in predvidljivo. Kot taka ima empatija v današnjem spreminjajočem se in velikokrat razosebljenem svetu velik pomen, saj gre za sposobnost, ki lahko ponovno prebudi občutek povezanosti z drugimi. V prispevku bomo predstavili empatijo in njen pomen. Opozorili bomo na kritične trenutke, kjer lahko pride do blokad v razvoju sposobnosti empatije, ter prikazali psihoterapijo kot možnost za spodbujanje empatije v odraslosti.
Manipulacija ni nikomur neznana in tuja. Vsi smo jo že kdaj doživeli in morda tudi kdaj povzročili. Napak je, če je ne prepoznamo, če jo opravičimo, predvsem pa, če se ne odločimo, da bomo spremenili ...svoje vedenje. Dlje časa trajajoča manipulacija pusti posledice na vseh udeležencih: žrtvi, opazovalcu in povzročitelju. Manipulacija je odnos med ljudmi, v katerem niso upoštevane potrebe vseh udeležencev. Povezana je z izkoriščanjem in zavajanjem, z nehumanostjo in neetičnostjo, ki jo izraža manipulator v svojih dejanjih na poti do uspeha, samopotrjevanja in za dosego svojega cilja. Pri manipulaciji se zrušijo meje drugega, saj povzročitelj vsili potrditev svoje nadvlade in podrejenost žrtve.
Manipulator posega v osebno integriteto žrtve in omejuje njen potencial. Žrtev izolira, nadzira in zastrašuje, izdela cel sistem, da žrtev ulovi v svojo mrežo in posesa kot pajek. Pri najuspešnejši manipulaciji drug udeleženec manipulacije ne prepozna in je srečen, da lahko sodeluje z manipulatorjem, saj si domišlja, da je cilj drugega tudi njegov cilj. Zato pravimo, da manipulator ukrade manipuliranemu dušo.
In the monograph (‘Ethnography of intergenerational relations: home and work on farms through life stories’), intergenerational relationships are discussed along the lines of demographical ...anthropology (Chapter 1).
Social Capital, the advantage created by location in social structure, is a critical element in business strategy. Who has it, how it works, and how to develop it have become key questions as ...markets, organizations, and careers become more and more dependent on informal, discretionary relationships. The formal organization deals with accountability; everything else flows through the informal: advice, coordination, cooperation friendship, gossip, knowledge, trust. Informal relations have always been with us, they have always mattered. What is new is the range of activities in which they now matter, and the emerging clarity we have about how they create advantage for certain people at the expense of others. This is done by brokerage and closure. ... Brokerage is the activity of people who live at the intersection of social worlds, who have a vision advantage of seeing and developing good ideas, an advantage which can be seen in their compensation, recognition, and the responsibility they're entrusted with in comparison to their peers. Closure is the tightening of coordination in a closed network of people, and people who do this do well as a complement to brokers because of the trust and alignment they create. This book explores how these elements work together to define social capital, showing how in the business world reputation has come to replace authority, pursued opportunity assignment, and reward has come to be associated with achieving competitive advantage in a social order of continuous disequilibrium.
