A Scrum Master Is Not A Project Manager By Another Name
Project manager versus ScrumMaster

Costructing historical maps of science

Lonely Planet Iran (travel Guide)
Ta'arof and Iranian hospitality
Iranians take their role as hosts very seriously; there are well-developed rules governing social conduct and interaction. This comes from a genuine desire to put others’ needs first and please where possible. Ta’arof, the Iranian system of courtesy, can be a minefield if…

The Ego Trick (baggini, Julian)
Not a character, just a mouthpiece for work
Nor did going to work require her to ‘get into character’, to become a different person. ‘It wasn’t really a character so much as just suppressing some things and bringing other things to the fore. It wasn’t really playing a character because it was me. I mean, I remember…
All the world's a stage
As Jacques famously put it in Shakespeare’s As You Like It: All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts …2 This theatrical metaphor has become the dominant means of…
No real man behind the roles
if you take away all the roles, what is left of the so-called ‘real man within’? At almost every given time a man is in some kind of role, so if you strip these away, the real, inner man becomes the man only at times of solitude. This is not credible.
We are the sum of our roles
So the theatrical metaphor makes no sense if it posits the real self as the off-stage actor. The other interpretation is suggested by Jacques in As You Like It: that we are ‘merely players’. We are the sum of our roles, no more and no less.
Goffman's dramaturgical sociology

Social life involves performance
Goffman appears to be either agnostic about, or indifferent to, the question of the reality of different selves. His interest was not essentially ontological, that is to say, concerned with the nature of being. It was primarily sociological, concerned with the nature of social…
No unedited self to present
since it makes no sense to talk about presenting an unedited, undirected self, it makes no sense to think of such presentations as
Awareness of roles presupposes unity
the fact that the person acts and is treated differently depending on the social situation doesn’t threaten the fundamental unity which underlies those diverse roles. It could be argued that without an awareness of the different roles we play, we would be unable to fulfil them…
The Tao Of Topic Maps
Association roles
Each topic that participates in an association plays a role in that association called the association role. In the case of the relationship “Puccini was born in Lucca”, expressed by the association between Puccini and Lucca, those roles might be “person” and “place”; for…
