In our life, we often have a person whom we consider to be the model, the ideal which we would like to resemble. In my life, my father was such a kind of model. However, I cannot say that I would like to be a copy of my father or that I fully accept his principles and ideals. In fact, I believe that each person is unique, but still I highly appreciate basic principles I have learned from my father. It is due to my father I have learned that there are more important values than wealth and money and that people should always remain truly human, regardless of their environment and the hardships they face in their life.
First of all, I would like to say that my father was a person who did not attempt to lecture me. Instead, he just talked to me as a person who had an extensive experience in his life and, frankly speaking I do not know why, I often agreed with him, even though, at first, I attempted to argue with him. Nevertheless, I believe that my father did not just had a gift to persuade people but he rather made people respect him with his deeds more than with his words.

Introduction
Christianity is one of the main global religions which has millions of adepts worldwide. At the same time, Christianity has a number of movements and Churches, such as the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, Orthodox Christianity and others. The difference between Christian movements may be significant but the diversity of the modern Christianity reveals a strong theoretical background of this religion which lays the foundation to Christian theology, which rationalizes, explains and interprets basic ideas and concepts of Christianity to promote Christian faith worldwide. Remarkably, the development of Christina theology did not always bring positive effects since the conversion of Native Americans and other peoples conquered by Europeans led to physical extinction of a considerable of the non-Christian population, namely those people who refused from the conversion to Christianity. Nevertheless, today, Christian theology keeps progressing, but it has become more humanistic and progressive in regard to the tolerance toward other religions and personal beliefs of people. The development Christian theology plays an important role in the promotion of Christianity since Christian theology lays the ideological ground to Christian as the world’s religion and it is due to Christian theology, Christian ideas are spread worldwide.

The figure of Heathcliff as an embodiment of coercive male power. To what extent can he be seen as an emblem of patriarchy.

It goes without saying that “Wuthering Heights” is one of the most impressive novels of his epoch. The main characters drawn by Emily Bronte with all her inner power strikes the reader. One of the most powerful images in this novel is the image of Heathcliff, the main character of the novel.

Heathcliff is surely one of the most contradictory character in this novel. Under the opinion of many scientists Heathcliff became an embodiment of evil power in the novel.

He embodies not only the evil power, but also masculine power, which made him so attractive to Catherine Earnshaw and Isabella Linton.

Abstract

The performance of modern companies operating internationally is highly dependent on their ability to adapt their management and leadership style to diverse cultural environment. Leaders of such companies need to take into consideration such factors as cultural differences, gender-related issues, power distance, future performance, individualistic or collectivist inclinations of employees, uncertainty avoidance and others. The extent to which leader succeeds in elaborating organization culture that meets all the factors mentioned above of all employees will define the success of the leader and the entire organization.

Modern companies operating internationally often face serious problems caused by cultural differences between employees who are working together within one and the same organization. Often, leaders of organizations operating internationally need to work in extremely diverse cultural environment, when employees from Greece, Singapore, Germany and Iran are working together. Cultural differences between employees can evoke conflicts within the organization and decrease the effectiveness of management and leadership if the leader proves to be unable to adapt his or her leadership style to a multicultural environment of the organization.

First of all, the leader needs to focus on cultural differences of employees. Greek employees get used to liberal leadership style and management, while German employees are more accustomed to discipline, though they still stick to a democratic leadership style, which allow them realizing their own potential. In contrast, Singaporean employees are more inclined to the authoritarian leadership style and they will hardly be able to accept the liberalism of Greek and democratic style of German employees. As for Iranian employees, their cultural life is, to a significant extent, determined by their religious views and often religious is primary for them compared to their professional work and career. For instance, they may have some religious holidays, such as Ramadan, and they may have special demands concerning respect of their religious views and beliefs from the part of other employees as well as the leader. Consequently, the leader should balance democratic and authoritarian leadership style and promote tolerance within the organization to meet cultural needs of all employees.

Introduction
The contemporary counseling is characterized by the wide application of various approaches and techniques, which are considered to be very effective, but often it is difficult to clearly define which approach is the most effective. Probably, the reason for such difficulties with the definition of the best approach to counseling is caused by the lack of such an approach since it is impossible to give some universal recommendations concerning counseling practices that could work effectively in absolutely all cases. In this respect, it is rather possible to recommend careful studying of patient’s needs and problems and on the basis of personal characteristics and psychological peculiarities of the patient define the approach that could be the most effective in the particular case.
Nevertheless, it is possible to distinguish client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches, which nowadays are widely spread and are very popular among health care professionals that work on counseling of their patients. In actuality, it is impossible to estimate that these approaches are perfect or the most effective, but still it is necessary to analyze and compare these approaches in order to better understand their advantages and drawbacks that will help better understand when and how these approaches could be applied with the utmost effectiveness.

Introduction
The “First Impressions” experiment is a computer-based version of a classic study conducted by Hamilton and Gifford (1976). Basically, the original study aimed at the revealing the impact of the first impression on the perception of individuals. The researchers attempted to reveal the extent to which the first impression can affect judgments made by individuals. In their study Hamilton and Gifford arrived to the conclusion that people tend to notice two rare or distinctive events co-occur. This means that people can remain unaware of a possible co-occurrence of insignificant events, which they simply fail to notice or remember, while distinctive or rare events stay in their memory and, what is more important, they influence individuals’ judgments they make about the distinctive events as well as people involved in them. In such a context, the computer-based test is particularly noteworthy since it allows verifying the outcomes of the experiment conducted by Hamilton and Gifford and revealing whether their conclusions were correct or not. At the same time, this experiment is very important to research directly the influence of first impressions on individuals’ perception since due to new technologies, the test is available not only for professionals but also for students who study psychology and such experiments are very helpful and useful for them as they can acquire new empirical evidence of findings of other researchers, namely Hamilton and Gifford.
