Probably everyone dreamed of getting on desert island and I was no exception. This is a great opportunity to test your strength, find out what you are capable of. In the meantime, I'm in the civilized world, I'll be happy to tell you what is an island, and what unusual islands are on our planet.

What is a peninsula and an island

If you open the dictionary looking for a definition, you can find 2 meanings for the word "island". First - a piece of land that is bounded on all sides by water. The second meaning reads: area that has characteristics compared to the rest of the area. At the same time, the peninsula means piece of land that is adjacent to the mainland on one side or an island and washed by water from others. Among the many islands and peninsulas, I would like to note the largest and, accordingly, the smallest. So:

• Arabian- the largest peninsula;
• Yamal- the smallest peninsula;
• Greenland- the largest island;
• Bishop Rock is the smallest island.

Islands are enough interesting places on our planet, each of which is unique in its own way. Limited space affects literally everything. For example, many birds, getting to the islands, pass mine path of evolution, becoming non-flying. This is how kakapo, dodo, kiwi and thousands of other species appeared. A careful study of this phenomenon has shown that, unlike the mainland counterparts, island birds have less developed muscles and longer legs.

Separated from the rest of the land the islands are, as it were, "cut off" from the rest of the world, and time goes by as usual. Many islands are inhabited by natives, whose culture is unique in its own way.

There is a unique "garbage island", unintentionally created by man. In fact, this is a huge spot of garbage gathered into a single whole. influenced by ocean currents. This island is located in pacific ocean, and in terms of area is in no way inferior to the size of the United States.

Pheasant Island, in principle, does not stand out among the many others, but there is still something special about it. For a long time it was the subject of disputes and even wars. between Spain and France, which eventually led to a rather original solution. Half of the year the Spanish municipality “owns” the island, the rest of the year the island is dominated by the French.

ship island located in the Atlantic. Of course, this is an ordinary island, but according to the documents - a ship! The thing is that at the time of its development, the treasury did not have free funds for its maintenance. Then the enterprising islanders renamed it "Ship" Ascension "standing on the roads", and they themselves signed up for it as sailors.

Division of competence by areas

Competence in the field of independent cognitive activity based on the assimilation of ways of acquiring knowledge from various sources of information, including extracurricular ones (Cognitive sphere); Competence in the field of civil and social activities (performance of the roles of a citizen, voter, consumer) (Society); Competence in the field of social and labor activity (including the ability to analyze the situation on the labor market, assess one's own professional capabilities, navigate the norms and ethics of relationships, self-organization skills); Competence in the domestic sphere (including aspects of one's own health, family life, etc.) (Family); Competence in the field of cultural and leisure activities (including the choice of ways and means of using free time, culturally and spiritually enriching the individual) (Personality)

Incompetence is a concept that is most often used in the business sphere of life and denotes a complete or partial discrepancy between the level of skills, knowledge, skills and other significant qualities of an employee, the requirements of his position or his status. At the same time, the meaning of incompetence is significantly expanded due to its many types: they include professional, intellectual, emotional, physical, social and ethical incompetence. Let's consider some of them.

Professional incompetence

In some areas, such as healthcare, the level of incompetence is especially important. The management of the company is called upon to ensure that the incompetence of employees is either eliminated or, better, not allowed.

With regard to career growth based on the concept of incompetence, the so-called “Peter principle” was put forward, which states that in a hierarchical system, each employee rises to the level of his incompetence.

According to the Peter principle, any person working in any kind of hierarchical system will climb the corporate ladder until he occupies a high place where he will not be able to cope with his duties. That is, to the level of their incompetence. It is at this level that a person will be stuck until they quit, retire, etc. despite the outward harmlessness, such a principle hints at the incompetence of any leader in any system built on the principle of hierarchy. Based on the fact that private firms can be considered as a hierarchical system, state. enterprises, the army, various institutions, including educational and medical, the scope of this principle is very wide.

Lawrence Peter put forward his theory on the basis that all competent employees, as a rule, are promoted, while incompetent employees remain in place, not demoted (often due to the unwillingness of the manager to admit his mistake). Peter's system has been repeatedly criticized, but at the same time it has quite a few followers.

Communicative incompetence

This type of incompetence speaks of the inability to build relationships with other people. There can be many reasons for this kind of incompetence, let's consider some typical ones:

1. Stereotypes, that is, simplified opinions about people and situations, which as a result blocks the understanding of situations and people.
2. Prejudice, a tendency to reject everything unusual, different.
3. The habit of neglecting the facts, and the desire to draw any conclusions without suitable grounds.
4. Errors in the construction of phrases - inaccurate selection of words, illogicality, weak persuasiveness.
5. Wrong choice of general strategy and tactics of communication.

Often, all these phenomena lead to the fact that a person cannot normally contact others, which often interferes both in his personal life and in the professional sphere.

Emotional incompetence

There is also such a thing as emotional incompetence, which describes the lack of skills or their extremely low level of development in managing emotions. It entails committing human interaction with other people without the slightest regard for the emotional context.

A vivid example of such a situation is a despotic boss who is used to raising his voice to employees, being rude, etc. Emotional incompetence leads to a loss of respect from employees and interferes with building any kind of relationship - both at work and in personal life.
