Aspects of Social Understanding
[WLOs: 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the Week 1 and Week 2 textbook readings: Chapters 1 through 4 and Chapter 12, perform your own research, and watch the following videos:
How do we know what is true? (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
How do we know what we know? Audi (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
How do we know what we know? Sullivan (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

An important aspect of public sociology is gaining an understanding of our social world and coming to informed conclusions based on what we know. Social problems can often occur due to a clash of difference in social understanding, and so sociologists can gain considerable value in understanding the nuances of different perspectives. These perspectives can also change over time as society evolves and individuals develop. The importance of this assignment is to acknowledge that there are varied forms of knowing that form our perspectives in society and presenting how these varied forms of knowing have impacts and value. This assignment is a “thought-piece” that requires you to academically support your ideas, as a presentation of your own developing and evolving social understanding.
In your paper, include the following components:
Elements of Social Understanding (1-2 pages)
Explain the concept of “epistemology” or “how we know what we know.”
Discuss the following elements of social understanding: evidence, theory, value, and beliefs.
Acquisition of Social Understanding (1-2 pages)
Explain the concept of “reflexivity” in social understanding.
Discuss how humans can gain each element of social understanding or how elements are formed.
Defend the importance each element of social understanding has on human knowledge.
Value to Society (1-2 pages)
Summarize how the elements of social understanding work together.
Justify the potential impact if citizens in society do or do not embrace all elements of social understanding.

What Can One Person Do?
Secondary Research Project
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a shareable educational
resource about a particular structural inequality. In it, you will 1) describe the structural
inequality and 2) recommend at least 1 specific action people can take to help disrupt,
dismantle, or otherwise work against that structure. There are 3 major components to this
project: the resource itself, a 2-3 page reflection piece, and a Works Cited. Instructions
for each can be found below.
In doing this assignment, you’ll get the chance to:
• Synthesize information and ideas you’ve come across in the
readings, conversations, and assignments.
• Reflect on how education can be a crucial component of being an
active, engaged member of your community and of society as a
whole.
• Produce a concrete resource that you can put out into the world
about your topic.
Educational Resource Instructions
For the resource itself, I’m giving you a fair amount of freedom. You have to create an
educational resource, but the exact form it takes is really up to you. Some options people
have done in the past:
• Write an editorial/article about your topic that could be submitted
to a newspaper or other periodical. (You don’t have to actually
submit it.)
• Create a brochure about your topic that can be printed and
distributed.
• Create a short zine about your topic that can be printed and
distributed.
• Produce a short podcast or video about your topic.
• Create a blog post (with links for more info) about your topic.
• Create a website about your topic.
• Create an educational board game or video game about your topic.
• Something else that you come up with (and get approved by me)
While you have a lot of freedom for the form of the project, there are certain criteria that
all projects must meet. To get full credit your resource must:
• Be targeted towards a particular audience (likely a particular
group of stakeholders for the issue)—Think about whom you want
to reach. Who is likely to care about the issue if they learned about
it? Who might be willing and able to take action?
o Your target audience should influence the form and
language of the project. For example, you probably
wouldn’t create a video game if your target audience is
Idaho congresspeople (or maybe you would?).
• Contain the following components
1. A short background on the situation. Explain what is going
on, how it’s unequal, and why we should care about it.
2. A description of the communities that are most impacted by
the issue and how they are impacted. This is related to the
previous component; one way to make people care about an
issue is to show them the harm it is causing to a particular
group of people.
3. A description of at least 1 important cultural story or belief
that helps sustain the conditions of inequality. As Schwalbe
argues in Ch. 4—Arresting the Imagination, cul.

2 -Dominant and Subordinate Group Membership
This week you are exploring what it means to have privilege in all aspects of life, whether it be that you are able to enroll in school and take this course, or that you are able to walk, type, see, taste, or purchase/have access to groceries. Having privilege also means that you have power of some sort. Even having access to goods and services can be seen as a privilege. Discrimination can accompany power and privilege as those who have power and privilege may not be consciously aware of how they benefit from it.
Instructions:
First, Chapter 4 of The Ecology of Diversity (Kahn, 2015) has a “Reflections on Diversity” section near the end entitled, “Membership in Dominant and Subordinate Groups.” Follow the instructions provided in the chapter and complete the chart considering who are you are and what relationships you have with each type of group.
Second, write at least three paragraphs (300 words) addressing the following questions:
1. How has privilege, in any/all forms, shaped your life? Consider race, socioeconomic status, education, and other associations identified in Week 1.
2. Have you been aware of the privileges in your life as you were growing up? Why or why not?
3. As you learn more about privilege, and as you examine your life, what do you find most interesting or surprising?
4. How has privilege shaped your life opportunities, life chances, experiences, etc.?

WS 2013, WS 2033, WS 3023, Social Justice Action Project Proposal
Purpose: This assignment requires you to propose an activism project (a) designed to address a social
justice issue and (b) that relates to a significant issue or topic addressed during the semester. You will
select a social justice issue and develop a proposal that addresses your goals for social transformation
related to the specific issue you’ve selected. Unless your instructor indicates otherwise, you have two
options: (1) you may propose a personal act of activism involving only yourself; (2) or you may
propose a collective act that involves more people than just yourself. (See the next paragraph for
examples of each type.) Regardless of your choice, the action you propose should be narrow and
must be designed to address and/or bring awareness to the issue. You will produce a proposal that
provides your rationale for the project, based on concepts discussed in required course readings.
However, you will not actually implement the project (although you may do so in the future if you’d like).
We recommend that you focus on a social-justice action that is local and manageable, something that you
would actually be able to implement in the near future.
Types of proposals: Collective social-justice proposals can propose a creative product (e.g., an art
exhibition, poetry collection, fashion show, music CD, or film), an activist organization (e.g., a nonprofit
organization or association), or an activist event (e.g., a political march or demonstration). Personal
Action Social-Justice projects can also focus on a creative product, an activist organization, or an activist
event; examples include creating an information/resource sheet that can be shared on social media, giving
a short presentation at an organization you are a member of (or have access to), creating a YouTube video
regarding your social justice issue, or volunteering at a local organization that addresses your social
justice issue.
The proposals must address a specific issue explored during the semester in our course. For example, a
creative project proposal might propose to develop a series of murals for Denton or another local city, or a
proposal for an organization might involve starting a nonprofit birthing center in a local city for low-
income mothers. The opportunities are endless, so be creative!
Assignment: After selecting a social justice issue to serve as the focus for your activism, you should
identify and analyze specific course readings that can be related to your selection. You should also
research existing creative products, activist organizations, or activist events that already address your
issue in some way, so that you can explain how your project is similar to and/or different from others.
You may also, if you wish, do additional research in library databases of journal articles.
In your proposal you will carefully explain your proposed project and g ...

G325 1a - Creativity
This document discusses creativity and provides guidance for evaluating one's own creative activities and coursework. It defines creativity as thinking imaginatively and outside conventions to generate something original. Creativity involves purposefully using skills and influences to communicate new ideas or perspectives. The document encourages relating coursework to concepts of creativity, narrative, representation, genre, technology affordances, and intended audience or purpose. Students are prompted to reflect on how their social environment and technical skills influenced their creative processes and products.
Csikszentmihalyi systems perspective
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi proposes a systems model of creativity that views creativity as emerging from the interaction between an individual, a domain, and a field. [1] The model posits that a creative idea must be novel within a cultural domain, be selected for inclusion by the gatekeepers within that domain's field, and eventually influence the culture at large. [2] Csikszentmihalyi argues that considering only individuals fails to account for the external cultural factors that influence creativity. [3] The systems model provides a framework for understanding how culture, society, and personal background interact to either enable or constrain creative contributions.
InstructionsThe prevalence of social media has had a huge im.docx
Instructions
The prevalence of social media has had a huge impact on society in the area of how we tend to relate to each other and on what is considered to be normal in general. Taking a look at the ways in which social media changes attitudes and "norms" makes for an interesting study, and one that is applicable to understanding how society is slowly changing over time.
For this assignment, you will first conduct your own research on the effects of social media on societal norms (Part 1), then you will examine what has been found through previous research conducted by others (Part 2).
Part 1:
Compare and contrast the attitudes of two cohorts of people; one that consists of five people that rarely use social media and one cohort of five people that uses social media 2 or more hours a day.
Create a list of five people that you know that use social media at least 2 or more hours per day. This group of people will make up your first cohort. Then create a list of five people that you know that either do not use social media or use it very rarely. Take into account age when creating the cohorts, and try to keep the ages as similar as possible between the cohorts. Keeping a certain level of consistency in the two cohorts will help to negate the potential effects of generational differences. Provide a brief description of each of the ten people you are going to interview divided into their respective cohorts.
In other words, list the five people in the social media at least 2 or more hours a day, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Then provide a list of the five people that rarely or never use social media, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them.
Interview the participants to learn the similarities and differences between the two cohorts as it relates to attitudes, lifestyles, and relationships. Write a two-page paper comparing and contrasting what you learned about the two cohorts. Be sure to relate your findings to cultivation theory and socialization theory in the paper.
Part 2:
Now you will compare your research with research findings through previous research conducted by others. Look up at least 3 articles in the that relate to the topic of social media and its impact on society. You are not limited to articles that are strictly written on the specific topic of social media and norms. Articles that are covering social media and society are available from a wide number of angles. After studying these articles, write a two-page paper on what you learned on the topic of social media and its potential impact on societal attitudes, customs, and norms.

Recognizing the fact usernames passwords are the weakest link in an.docx
Recognizing the fact usernames passwords are the weakest link in an organization’s security system because username and password are shareable, and most passwords and usernames are vulnerable and ready to be cracked with a variety of methods using adopting a record number of devices and platforms connected to the Internet of Things daily and at an alarming rate.
Provide the all-inclusive and systematic narratives of the impact of physical biometric operations on the current and future generation.
An Integrated Approach of Physical Biometric Authentication System
Objective
Per Fennelly (2017), every human being is created differently with physical and behavioral traits that are unique; and everyone’s fingerprints, iris, facial feature and body types are entirely different from one another. The effective and efficient use of biometric technology will play a key role in automating a new method of identifying living person based on individual physiological and behavioral characteristics. Protecting sensitive information from vulnerable access by unauthorized users is paramount in our digital world and attempting to identify and mitigating such operation is becoming very challenging and troubling to the entire human society.
Biometric authentication-based identity is playing a vital role in security operations. Traditional authentication approach used to identity logon, logout, username, passwords are no longer enough to battle the identity and security crisis. Physical Biometric processes often allow the authentication of an individual personal data to be stored in a document format for future references. The comparison is often used to determine whether the biometric characteristics of individual match the previously information recorded in the document. Physical biometric systems have proven to be very effective in verification and identification processes.
Physical biometric identification and recognition processes are classified in three groupings including acquisition, feature extraction and comparison. Traditionally, biometric characteristics are acquired through measurements, such as a camera, microphone, fingerprint scanner, gathering of specific characteristics and creation of digital representation, photograph, a voice recording and scanned fingerprint. Most naturally significant areas supporting physical biometric process include corners of the eyes, mouth, nose, chin and likely to be identified by human inspection and through an automated biometric process.
Biometric Access Control is a security system used to provides conditional access after scanning for unique physical characteristics including installing Biometric Access at ATM’s and other public facilities to safeguard financial data. Indeed, when faces, fingers, irises and veins are scanned such data are converted into digital format and a complex algorithm is used to make a match. Such physical biometric processes .

Recognizing Fallacies
Constructing sound arguments requires valid logic and reasoning. If your premises (reasoning) are incorrect they are considered to be “fallacies”. There are several different types of fallacies that exist. Once you recognize the fallacies you are more likely to avoid them in your reasoning.
(Hint: refer to textbook Chapter 11 for more information on fallacies.)
1.
Match
each fallacy with its definition in the chart below.
A. Begging the question
G. Appeal to fear
H. Questionable cause
B. Hasty generalization
C. False dilemma
I. Two wrongs make a right
D Slippery slope J. Misidentification of the cause
E. Appeal to authority
F. Bandwagon
___
.
Also known as circular reasoning because the reasoning assumes the conclusion is true.
___
.
Sometimes occurs due to “peer pressure” or groupthink phenomenon when you may be influenced to conform to the opinion of the group.
___
.
A causal situation where we are unsure of the actual root cause of the issue. It’s possible to ignore a possible cause or to incorrectly assume a common cause.
___
.
This argument states that the action (or conclusion) is a justified response to another wrong action (or conclusion).
___
.
This occurs when there is no real evidence for the argument. Superstitions are a good example of this.
___
.
The “either/or” fallacy – the argument presents only two extreme alternatives and does not allow for alternative options.
___
.
Indicates that one negative action will lead to another, and then another worse one, and so on and so forth all leading to a terrible end result
___
.
Basing a belief on a source or person who is not qualified to give an expert opinion on the subject.
___
.
The argument supports its conclusion not by evidence, but by demands or threats of punishment or misfortune.
___
.
A general conclusion is reached based on a very small sample, so the reasons provide weak support for the conclusion.
Deductive Argument
In a deductive argument, the premises (reasoning) provide such strong support for the conclusion that, if the premises are true, then it would be impossible for the conclusion to be false. Deductive arguments are VALID or INVALID.
EXAMPLE:
Valid
– All children are young.
Johnny is a child.
Therefore, Johnny is young.
Invalid – All children are young.
Johnny is a child.
Therefore, all children are Johnny.
Complete each deductive argument below with a valid conclusion.

WS 2013, WS 2033, WS 3023, Social Justice Action Project Proposal
Purpose: This assignment requires you to propose an activism project (a) designed to address a social
justice issue and (b) that relates to a significant issue or topic addressed during the semester. You will
select a social justice issue and develop a proposal that addresses your goals for social transformation
related to the specific issue you’ve selected. Unless your instructor indicates otherwise, you have two
options: (1) you may propose a personal act of activism involving only yourself; (2) or you may
propose a collective act that involves more people than just yourself. (See the next paragraph for
examples of each type.) Regardless of your choice, the action you propose should be narrow and
must be designed to address and/or bring awareness to the issue. You will produce a proposal that
provides your rationale for the project, based on concepts discussed in required course readings.
However, you will not actually implement the project (although you may do so in the future if you’d like).
We recommend that you focus on a social-justice action that is local and manageable, something that you
would actually be able to implement in the near future.
Types of proposals: Collective social-justice proposals can propose a creative product (e.g., an art
exhibition, poetry collection, fashion show, music CD, or film), an activist organization (e.g., a nonprofit
organization or association), or an activist event (e.g., a political march or demonstration). Personal
Action Social-Justice projects can also focus on a creative product, an activist organization, or an activist
event; examples include creating an information/resource sheet that can be shared on social media, giving
a short presentation at an organization you are a member of (or have access to), creating a YouTube video
regarding your social justice issue, or volunteering at a local organization that addresses your social
justice issue.
The proposals must address a specific issue explored during the semester in our course. For example, a
creative project proposal might propose to develop a series of murals for Denton or another local city, or a
proposal for an organization might involve starting a nonprofit birthing center in a local city for low-
income mothers. The opportunities are endless, so be creative!
Assignment: After selecting a social justice issue to serve as the focus for your activism, you should
identify and analyze specific course readings that can be related to your selection. You should also
research existing creative products, activist organizations, or activist events that already address your
issue in some way, so that you can explain how your project is similar to and/or different from others.
You may also, if you wish, do additional research in library databases of journal articles.
In your proposal you will carefully explain your proposed project and g ...

G325 1a - Creativity
This document discusses creativity and provides guidance for evaluating one's own creative activities and coursework. It defines creativity as thinking imaginatively and outside conventions to generate something original. Creativity involves purposefully using skills and influences to communicate new ideas or perspectives. The document encourages relating coursework to concepts of creativity, narrative, representation, genre, technology affordances, and intended audience or purpose. Students are prompted to reflect on how their social environment and technical skills influenced their creative processes and products.
Csikszentmihalyi systems perspective
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi proposes a systems model of creativity that views creativity as emerging from the interaction between an individual, a domain, and a field. [1] The model posits that a creative idea must be novel within a cultural domain, be selected for inclusion by the gatekeepers within that domain's field, and eventually influence the culture at large. [2] Csikszentmihalyi argues that considering only individuals fails to account for the external cultural factors that influence creativity. [3] The systems model provides a framework for understanding how culture, society, and personal background interact to either enable or constrain creative contributions.

Instructions
The prevalence of social media has had a huge impact on society in the area of how we tend to relate to each other and on what is considered to be normal in general. Taking a look at the ways in which social media changes attitudes and "norms" makes for an interesting study, and one that is applicable to understanding how society is slowly changing over time.
For this assignment, you will first conduct your own research on the effects of social media on societal norms (Part 1), then you will examine what has been found through previous research conducted by others (Part 2).
Part 1:
Compare and contrast the attitudes of two cohorts of people; one that consists of five people that rarely use social media and one cohort of five people that uses social media 2 or more hours a day.
Create a list of five people that you know that use social media at least 2 or more hours per day. This group of people will make up your first cohort. Then create a list of five people that you know that either do not use social media or use it very rarely. Take into account age when creating the cohorts, and try to keep the ages as similar as possible between the cohorts. Keeping a certain level of consistency in the two cohorts will help to negate the potential effects of generational differences. Provide a brief description of each of the ten people you are going to interview divided into their respective cohorts.
In other words, list the five people in the social media at least 2 or more hours a day, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Then provide a list of the five people that rarely or never use social media, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them.
Interview the participants to learn the similarities and differences between the two cohorts as it relates to attitudes, lifestyles, and relationships. Write a two-page paper comparing and contrasting what you learned about the two cohorts. Be sure to relate your findings to cultivation theory and socialization theory in the paper.
Part 2:
Now you will compare your research with research findings through previous research conducted by others. Look up at least 3 articles in the that relate to the topic of social media and its impact on society. You are not limited to articles that are strictly written on the specific topic of social media and norms. Articles that are covering social media and society are available from a wide number of angles. After studying these articles, write a two-page paper on what you learned on the topic of social media and its potential impact on societal attitudes, customs, and norms.

(page 92-93) ESSAY #2 TO EDUCATE A DIVERSE NATION, TOPPLE THE IVORY TOWER*
*“To Educate a Diverse Nation, Topple the Ivory Tower,” by Marybeth Gasman, from The Huffington Post, November 2, 2015. Reproduced by permission.
Marybeth Gasman
The author is a professor of education at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education and is also a regular contributor to The Huffington Post.
Visit a U.S. college campus today and you’ll see a more diverse student body than ever before. Over the last 30 years, the number of Hispanic students has risen five-fold, Asian and Pacific Islander enrollment has tripled, black enrollment has risen 150 percent and Native American enrollment has doubled.
But the graduation rate for minority students falls far below the nationwide average. Our colleges and universities are not succeeding at educating students with diverse backgrounds. In an increasingly competitive global economy, our country cannot afford this waste of time, money and talent.
There are solutions to this problem, but they’re found outside the ivory tower. Over the past three years, we visited a dozen minority-serving institutions or MSIs—from Paul Quinn, a historically black college in Dallas, to Salish Kootenai, a tribal college in Montana, and San Diego City College. We learned a number of lessons—all of which run counter to mainstream higher education thinking.
First and most important, these colleges acknowledge that traditionally underrepresented students face challenges that go far beyond paying tuition. These range from family obligations to fear and uncertainty about the meaning of college to “math shame” and speaking English as a second language. In response, the colleges have toppled the traditional hierarchies and responsibilities of faculty, staff, and students. Everyone is expected to understand the challenges.

“After a year, brain scans showed that among the walkers, the hippocampus had increased in volume by about 2 percent on average; in the others, it had declined by about 1.4 percent. Since such a decline is normal in older adults, ’a 2 percent increase is fairly significant,’ said the lead author, Kirk Erickson, a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh. Both groups also improved on a test of spatial memory, but the walkers improved more. While it is hard to generalize from this study to other populations, the researchers were delighted to learn that the hippocampus might expand with exercise” (Span, 2011).

Recognition, Reification, and Practices of Forgetting:
Ethical Implications of Human Resource Management

Received: 3 June 2011 / Accepted: 28 July 2012 / Published online: 17 August 2012
� Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012
Abstract This article examines the ethical framing of
employment in contemporary human resource management
(HRM). Using Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition and
classical critical notions of reification, I contrast recogni-
tion and reifying stances on labor. The recognition
approach embeds work in its emotive and social particu-
larity, positively affirming the basic dignity of social
actors. Reifying views, by contrast, exhibit a forgetfulness
of recognition, removing action from its existential and
social moorings, and imagining workers as bundles of
discrete resources or capacities. After discussing why
reification is a problem, I stress that recognition and reifi-
cation embody different ethical standpoints with regards to
organizational practices. Thus, I argue paradoxically that
many current HRM best practices can be maintained while
cultivating an attitude of recognition. If reification is a type
of forgetting, cultivating a recognition attitude involves
processes of ‘‘remembering’’ to foster work relations that
reinforce employee dignity.

Introduction
The rapid growth of Human Resource Management (HRM)
has involved attempts to frame HRM’s role in under-
standing the human consequences of the contemporary
world of work (Heery 2008). Such attempts have generated
discussions around the ethics of HRM (Pinnington et al.
2007), varying from principled and ‘‘purist’’ perspectives
drawn from moral theory and philosophy (Rowan 2000) to
more ‘‘user-friendly’’ approaches that mix ethical-theoret-
ical foundations and formulate managerial guidelines for
practice (Winstanley and Woodall 2000; Heery 2008).
More recent approaches to HRM have begun to emerge
from critical theory, focusing on ideological and exploit-
ative aspects of HRM, and challenging mainstream
approaches to ethics by combining a practice-based
approach with a critical lens (Greenwood 2002).
The growing importance of critical ethical approaches
brings with it an increased focus on ‘‘macro’’ critiques of
HRM (Townley 1993; Islam and Zyphur 2008), calling into
question the ethical grounding of the field in general
(Greenwood 2002). While traditional views frame human
resources as costs to be minimized or resources to be
deployed strategically, critical ethical views highlight the
potentially problematic idea of ‘‘using’’ people (Green-
wood 2002), inherent in such framings. In Simon’s (1951)
seminal work, the employee is defined as one who ‘‘permits
his behavior to be guided by a decision reached by another,
irrespective of his own judgment as to the merits of that
decision’’ (p. 21), a characte.

Recently, several flyers were found near the campus of the Universit.docx
Recently, several flyers were found near the campus of the University of Colorado Denver advertising a coming "Unite the Right" rally in downtown Denver. Organizers were in the process of filing permits to hold the rally in City Park. The mayor's office responded that the organizers' First Amendment rights would be protected but that violence and/or property destruction would not be tolerated. Recognizing that this is a delicate situation, the mayor's office has called on you to find a way to resolve this situation, and, if possible, to de-escalate tensions before the event even begins.
Your task, for this assignment, is to work in one of three teams representing three groups identified in the
Group Violence Intervention document from the National Network for Safe Communities
. The three groups are: the Law Enforcement Representatives, the Social Service Representatives, and Community Moral Voices. You must work on how best to resolve the situation described above.
Questions to answer: 3 pages
How will your group interact with the organizers and/or attendees of the event?
How will your group interact with any counter-protestors at the event?
For the above two questions, also consider any communication you might have with those groups either before or after the event.

Recently, Kathy Smith, a project manager for a large industrial cons.docx
Recently, Kathy Smith, a project manager for a large industrial construction organization, was assigned to oversee a multimillion-dollar chemical plant construction project in Southeast Asia. Kathy had earned this assignment after completing a number of smaller construction assignments in North America over the past three years. This was her first overseas assignment and she was eager to make a good impression, particularly given the size and scope of the project. Successfully completing this project would increase her visibility within the organization dramatically and earmark her as a candidate for upper management. Kathy had good project management skills; in particular, she was organized and highly self-motivated. Team members at her last two project assignments used to joke that just trying to keep up with her was a full-time job. Kathy wasted no time settling in to oversee the development of the chemical plant. Operating under her normal work approach, Kathy routinely required her staff and the senior members of the project team to work long hours, ignoring weekend breaks if important milestones were coming up, and generally adopting a round the-clock work approach for the project. Unfortunately, in expecting her team, made up of local
residents, to change their work habits to accommodate her expectations, Kathy completely misread the individuals
on her team. They bitterly resented her overbearing style, unwillingness to consult them on key
questions, and aloof nature. Rather than directly confront her, however, team members began a campaign
of passive resistance to her leadership. They would purposely drag their feet on important assignments
or cite insurmountable problems when none, in fact, existed. Kathy’s standard response was to push herself
and her project team harder, barraging subordinates with increasingly urgent communications demanding
faster performance. To her bewilderment, nothing seemed to work. The project quickly became bogged down due
to poor team performance and ended up costing the project organization large penalties for late delivery.
Although Kathy had many traits that worked in her favor, she was seriously lacking in the ability to recognize
the feelings and expectations of others and take them into consideration.
Questions
1. Discuss how Kathy lacked sufficient emotional
intelligence to be effective in her new project
manager assignment.
2. Of the various dimensions of emotional intelligence,
which dimension(s) did she appear to lack
most? What evidence can you cite to support this
contention?
This assignment involves that the student read the case study and answer all questions at the end of the case study in a
4-5 page paper
. Your answers must include substantial support from at least two (2) scholarly journal articles on project management.
Should be written in should be in APA formatting (title page, reference page, NO abstract page, in-text citations, running head, page numbers, Ti.

Recently, I built a floating bed frame for my room. I watched a qu.docx
Recently, I built a "floating" bed frame for my room. I watched a quick YouTube video and jotted down the dimensions of the bed, the materials I needed, and a mini blue print for how it was going to end up. My notes allowed for me to get everything I needed in one shot at the hardware store and instead of referring back to the video I could just look at my notes. While assembling, I was able to remind myself how certain things went together by looking at my notes allowing for me to complete the bed frame quickly and in an enjoyable way.
While looking at the rubric, I found that the 4 points on the project addressing the course outcomes is most important. it allows for me to understand the main points of the projects before doing it. Also, I believe these will be helpful notes when doing the project to keep me on track of the topic.
Actively listening is something that will be critical while pursuing a business administration degree. It is something that I struggle with and need to work on. I am a visual learner by all means and have trouble actually listening to people when they talk. In the business world, being able to converse and hear others ideas and thoughts is paramount.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the language acquisition approaches whose conceptions of language acquisitions are transferred to
learning environments through adjustments made on the basis of application methods. The paper also discussed their similarities and differ-
ences. Different approaches to language acquisition in various disciplines, different views, and perceptions of it have been developed. There are
some approaches completely distinct from others, while there are some others affected by different perspectives. In addition to the language
acquisition approaches mentioned above, the paper delineated what literacy skills are and what kind of hierarchical order is followed by the
development of these skills. The study, on one hand, deliberated children’s innate abilities and their acquired skills. by examining the reading
and writing methods and from which approach they have been affected. The study, on the other hand, summarized the views of Vygotsky,
whose contributions to learning in general and language acquisition in particular are better understood today. In brief, this paper discusses and
explains the language acquisition approaches and the development process of children’s literacy skills.

Introduction
Literacy skills are of vital importance for all people and en-
able children to get to know the life and interact with their
environment and other people, leading the way to a success-
ful career. Starting primary school is certainly a new chap-
ter and an exciting step for both students and their families.
First-grade students attending elementary school which is
the beginning of a tiring process for both teachers and stu-
dents, are equipped with the speaking skill that is the most
natural communication tool in a language. The hearing and
speaking skills, which are essential for teaching, are two basic
elements of basic language skills and they have an important
role in the acquisition of two other basic skills of reading and
writing. How to inculcate literacy skills in children and what
methods and techniques should be applied have been tried
several times for these techniques to be implemented and

Abstract
Resume screening is the first hurdle applicants typically face
when they apply for a job. Despite the many empirical
studies showing bias at the resume‐screening stage, fairness
at this funnelling stage has not been reviewed systematically.
In this paper, a three‐stage model of biased resume screening
is presented. We first discuss relevant theoretical perspec-
tives (e.g., job market signalling and impression formation
theories) to explain why resume screening is vulnerable to
biased decision‐making and ethnic discrimination in particu-
lar. On the basis of the best available evidence, we consider
contingencies of ethnic discrimination in the applicant, the
decision‐maker, and the broader context (e.g., organisation),
as well as the effectiveness of interventions that might
counter ethnic bias in resume screening. The paper ends with
a critical agenda for further research and practice.
KEYWORDS

1 | INTRODUCTION
Despite decades of legislation and HR professionals' commitment to equal opportunities, ethnic minority members
still suffer a weaker labour market position compared with equally qualified majorities (Shen, Chanda, D'Netto, &
Monga, 2009). Human capital factors may explain some of the differences in hiring outcomes, but discrimination
has also been put forward as a possible explanation (Derous & Ryan, 2018; Hoque & Noon, 1999). Ethnic minorities,
for instance, still need to complete 50% more applications to get invited for a job interview when compared with
equally qualified ethnic majorities (Zschirnt & Ruedin, 2016).

Resume screening, the first hurdle applicants typically face seems particularly vulnerable to hiring discrimination.
Fairness in resume screening, however, is less well investigated when compared with the number of studies on the

Recall that the goal of the Kyoto Protocol was to cut developed co.docx
Recall that the goal of the Kyoto Protocol was to cut developed countries’ carbon dioxide emission to about 5% to 7% below 1990 levels by 2012. This was a crucial first goal, but the IPCC is calling for carbon dioxide emissions in 2050 to be 60%less than the carbon dioxide emission in 1990.
Many countries were previously condemning the United States because the Bush administration and Congress refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Although the U.S. population in 2010 was only 5% of the world population, 18% of world carbon dioxide emissions that year was produced by the United States (see Table 3). The Obama administration has taken a very different path, assumed responsibility, and took numerous actions that led to a significant decrease of the CO2 emission in the US. This course again changed dramatically by the Trump administration.
Critics of the Kyoto Protocol say that a fairer pact would be for all countries to commit to the same level of carbon dioxide emission per person. Recommendations are by 0.9 metric ton per person in 2050. Average annual carbon dioxide emission in 2010 for developing countries was 2.7 metric ton per person, which is 3 times the IPCC’s recommendation. However, the average annual carbon dioxide emission for developed countries was 10.2 metric tons per person, for US 18 (!) metric tons per person, far above IPCC’s recommendation (see Table 4). GNP, the gross national product, is a measure of a country’s economic strength.
With annual carbon dioxide emissions of 18.1 metric tons per person in 2010, the United States would have to reduce emissions by 95% to meet the standard of 0.9 metric ton per person. This means that Americans would be allowed to emit only 5% of the carbon dioxide that they are currently emitting. Imagine driving your car, heating and cooling your home, using your appliances, using your computer, using your lights, and watching TV only 5% (one-twentieth) of the time that you currently do.
Table 3 Table 4
United States and World Population GNP Ranks and Per-Person Carbon Dioxide Emissions
In the strongest action ever taken in the United States to combat climate change, in August 2015 President Obama unveiled a set of environmental actions devised to sharply cut planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from the nation’s power plants and ultimately transform America’s electricity industry. These new rules alone will not be enough to shave off that future described above. But experts say that if the rules are combined with similar action from the world’s other major economies, as well as additional action by the future administrations, emissions could level off enough to prevent the worst effects of climate change.
The main argument against stronger actions was that the economy would suffer. Many arguments however show that it is possible for emissions to be significantly reduced without harming a country’s economy. Switzerland, Denmark, J.
