Inter racial dating and marriage have some pros and cons to dating someone of a different race, many of them connected to the boundaries between races that still exist in most societies.

Adams,
P., & Burford, G. (2004). Restorative Justice, Responsive Regulation and Social Work. Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare, 31, 7+.
The authors’ main purpose is to stress the importance of several dichotomies that underpin social work, including the correlation “between formal and informal helping and between care and control, or empowerment and coercion” (Adams, Burford, 2004). They bring in the work of J. Braithwaite, Restorative Justice and Responsive Regulation, that elucidates these concepts and try to put his ideas in context of social work.

Adams and Burford (2004) argue that every look at social work will exhibit a certain degree of social control implicit in the profession as even empowerment “disguises a coercive core”. Pointing to worries about the “colonial” relationship between middle-class social workers and those in their care. The authors introduce Braithwaite’s findings to sociologists, aiming to help them create a more equitable and democratic environment for their also shatter the rosy image of restorative justice stressing that convicts will often be shamed for their deeds, which does not help them to return to non-deviant behavior and argue for Braithwaite’s idea of replacing restorative justice in its contemporary look with responsive regulation that will draw on the criminal’s own social network.

The
C.P.A. in this scenario assumes that the owner neglects the business because of his dying son; he also assumes that this is unfair to him, as he is the one who handles the work load and his pay is nevertheless decreased. Emotion might influence his decision to quite an extent, since he can imagine himself in the situation of business owner and realizes that work would not have been a priority for him as well under those conditions. Logic is important in this situation; the C.P.A. logically thinks that with time business will only deteriorate, and his pay will decrease as well.

There is certain conflict of values inherent in the situation: the C.P.A. wants to earn what he truly deserves (self realization and self esteem), but at the same time he cannot simply leave the owner with his dying son (sympathy and kindness). Critical thinking can be deployed in order to come up with the best course of action available to C.P.A. in this situation. The C.P.A. has one feasible option that would incorporate all the values described above: he can offer the business owner to become partners in the business at issue.

A
human being is a very dependable creature that cannot exist in isolation from the surrounding people. In fact people are always influenced by different forces which may be divided into internal and external. It has always been an important question that philosophers and thinkers of different epochs and different nations attempted to answer, what these forces are and the extent to which they can change our life.

Speaking about external forces that influenced me in person I should say that at first glance my life is full of different events and I am surrounded by many people that seem to be important for me but, on deeper reflection, I realise that our life reminds me a river that flows constantly without changing its direction and it is out of our will to change it somehow. In actuality it is really seems to be that the direction can be changed very seldom but what is important is the fact that it is changeable and it is me who can change my life or the direction I move.
