Role refers to the behavioral attributes an individual is expected to follow when they occupy a social position or status.

To play a doctor, a crucial step was to anticipate what the patient would say and I was forced to place myself in their position and assess the severity of their issues and their impacts on their well-being. Thus, role-taking involves studying the perspectives of others. On teacher’s day, I got a chance to take the role of a teacher for a day and put myself in the shoes of my class teacher for a day. While trying to control the noise in the class, I realized how tough it is to pla

There are many types of social groups which affect our behavior patterns, attitude, perception, and personality. At the beginning of our life i.e., in childhood, we are mainly affected by primary groups. In Hindu society, we are born in a family consisting of many members who can influence us. I am the youngest in my family which consists of my grandparents, my parents, and my elder sister. The role of being the

Leaders fabricate shared perspectives and values, which are then passed and built up on through various procedures, at last influencing representative perceptions, ways of behaving, and understanding. The context for everything an organization does is set by its culture. There is no one size-fits-all culture layout that satisfies the requests of all organizations since ventures and conditions vary considerably. The best organizations share a common denominator: a solid culture. All have agreed on cultural priorities at the top, and these principles are centered on the institution and its goals rather than on individuals.
