Consider and discuss how the phenomena of prosocial behavior and pure altruism relate to each other and how they differ from each other. Pure altruism is a specific kind of prosocial behavior where your sole motivation is to help a person in need without seeking benefit for yourself. It is often viewed as a truly selfless form of behavior. Provide an example each of prosocial behavior and pure altruism. (one paragraph each) .

Consider, hypothetically, a small community called Plainsville, Colorado, which has a critical rail line running through it. On this line, hazardous chemicals are routinely transported en route to a neighboring community (Southtown) where they are crucial for industrial use in manufacturing a certain type of nuclear defect x-ray material that is made nowhere else in the world. The rail line was first laid in the late 1800s and has been patchily maintained over its life. Given new priorities through Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Grant Programs and state mandates, both the Plainsville community leaders and operators of the railway are concerned with increasing vulnerabilities associated with rail transport because there is evidence of structural decline due to its age and uneven maintenance. Serious damage to, or degradation of, the line in the vicinity of Plainsville might be catastrophic with worst-case consequences including: irreparable destruction of the rail; a train derailment; a chemical spill; the creation of a hazardous environment for people, livestock, and agriculture; disruption of the industrial manufacturing in Southland; and the possible economic crippling of the entire area. Any of these components alone could result in a crisis; yet a combination of these, or if combined in totality, would be a scenario considered unimaginable by Plainsville’s leadership and emergency management personnel. By way of background, Plainsville has a "strong" mayor, meaning she is elected by the people rather than chosen by a council, etc. Based upon DHS grant dollars that have trickled down through her state and all-hazards homeland security region, Mayor Witley has determined that a commission in the form of a short-term task force should look at the vulnerabilities associated with the rail line. The commission would take the scenario outlined above, consider its many variations, study possible consequences while articulating and researching the problem(s) and receiving testimony from experts, and then make recommendations about courses of action to prevent, mitigate, or respond to any resultant crisis. The issues at hand for the community include the integrity of the rail line, the prevention of a hazardous spill, the safety of the citizens, and the continuity of the neighboring town’s industry. (More issues may exist, but this gets you started.) Consider and list at least 10 potential organizations that would either provide a representative to sit on the commission or that would provide information to the commission. When listing each partner, describe his, her, or its value to the commission and what expectations the mayor (and others) might have as to the expertise, capabilities, resources, or anything else an individual or agency might contribute. Choose the most relevant entities or individual experts you can, and think about everything from a public safety and emergency management perspective. Your answer may require research and p.

Consider the Victim In this assignment, you will identify the victims and the defendants, the rights of victims permitted under state law, the procedures to prosecute an accused, and the possible penalties based on the given scenario. Centervale police officers, Anne and Justin, respond to a report of domestic dispute. There had been a total of nine calls for service, including two in the past year. On the way, Anne informs Justin that this may be a very volatile situation because this couple is constantly in and out of Domestic Violence Court; even though they separate all the time, they always get back together. Here's What Happened . . . The officers arrive and knock on the door, "Hello! Police, can someone please come to the door?" A man yells "Come in!" from inside the house. They decide not to enter the residence under these circumstances to protect their own safety. Anne asks the man to come outside and speak to them. The door opens. A man, who identifies himself as Mike and a friend of the family, opens the door. He says that Lilly and her husband, Johnny, were just fighting and that there is no problem now. Mike did not appear to be intoxicated but smelled of alcohol. Anne explained that someone has reported a domestic dispute to the police department from this residence and that they were there to check upon the situation. Anne asks Mike if anyone was using any weapons. Mike denied this and said that Lilly was inside the house, ironing clothes. If Anne wanted, she could go and talk to Lilly. Justin stays with Mike while Anne enters the house and calls for Lilly. Lilly says, "Officer, he hit me on the head with his hand and I hit him with the iron." As this was a mutual assault, Anne stops questioning Lilly and asks Mike what Lilly hit Johnny with. Mike responds, "With the iron." Anne asks Lilly where Johnny is and she says he was in the dining room. Anne asks Lilly if Johnny has any weapons. Lilly says she did not think he did or at least he did not when he hit her in the head. Anne stays with Mike and Lilly while Justin cautiously enters the house to discover Johnny in fetal position under the dining table. When Justin first approaches him, Johnny is unresponsive but slowly becomes responsive. Justin notices a large contusion on the left side of Johnny's face when he rolls over to look at Justin. Justin calls for an ambulance, as Johnny was not in a position to answer any questions due to the injury on his head and the possible effects of the shock. Anne continues to question Mike, "Who struck whom first?" Mike responds, "Johnny hit Lilly like he always does when he drinks Jack Daniels and beer, and then Lilly really got mad at Johnny, hit him with the iron, and went back to ironing. I don't know where Johnny went after that because I was on the couch watching TV and drinking beer." Anne then asks Mike, "How many times did Lilly hit Johnny with the iron?" Mike responds, "Only once that I saw." Anne further asks, "How many times did.

Consider the impact of the Vietnam War on American culture. In the decades prior to the 1980s, two issues beset American culture: civil rights and the Vietnam War. Both were televised directly into living rooms on all three channels. On college campuses throughout the world, but especially on American campuses, antiwar protests were routine. Hippies often were thought to conduct themselves on the premises of antiwar, free sex, and lots of drugs. The music that emerged from this era is still famously current and listened to today. It was an era of convertibles, gas guzzlers, freedom, and endless summers. Then that generation grew into adults––your parents and grandparents.

Consider this hypothetical situation: David Doe is a network administrator for the ABC Company. David is passed over for promotion three times. He is quite vocal in his dissatisfaction with this situation. In fact, he begins to express negative opinions about the organization in general. Eventually, David quits and begins his own consulting business. Six months after David’s departure, it is discovered that a good deal of the ABC Company’s research has suddenly been duplicated by a competitor. Executives at ABC suspect that David Doe has done some consulting work for this competitor and may have passed on sensitive data. However, in the interim since David left, his computer has been formatted and reassigned to another person. ABC has no evidence that David Doe did anything wrong. What steps might have been taken to detect David’s alleged industrial espionage? What steps might have been taken to prevent his perpetrating such an offense? .

Consider the following scenario: In the second week of your internship, the CIO approaches you and asks you to research electronic health records (EHRs). She says, “I must give a presentation at a staff meeting next week, and I’d like you to complete the research and create the slides and notes for me. The presentation must focus on EHRs, which our organization is considering implementing. Please be thorough with the speaker notes.” The CIO adds that you must consider the effect of this technology on health care as well as the privacy and security implications of adopting the EHRs. Describe the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules as well as the reasons those rules do or do not apply to this type of technology. These constraints are a major consideration for the staff when selecting new technology. Develop a 5- to 7-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® slide presentation that includes the information the CIO requested in the scenario. List major points in the slides. Include detailed explanations in the speaker notes that correlate to each point. Include videos, audio, photos, diagrams, or graphs as appropriate. Include at least two references to support your presentation. Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines. .

Consider the following argument: There are many arguments for the elimination or modification of current U. S. drug laws, but one of the most persuasive involves what negative effects drug laws are having on society in comparison with the effects of the drugs themselves. In the past ten years, most forms of drug use have dropped significantly, especially among teens. Despite this, non-violent drug offenders accounted for 21.1 percent of the federal prison population. First time drug offenders serve, on average, a sentence three months longer than kidnappers, nine months longer than burglars, and thirty-three months longer than sex abusers. In 1992, the average cost of keeping an inmate in either state or federal prison was about $20,000 per prisoner per year. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 455 prisoners per 100,000 population. It is maintaining these prisoners at great expense in an environment where they are unlikely to develop a socially constructive attitude. Perhaps it is time that we reconsider our attitudes toward those who choose to use drugs; failure to do so may cost society even more than it already has. Determine whether or not the argument uses any deceptive statistics. Give your opinion on whether or not the argument has persuaded you. Explain why or why not. Determine the primary ways in which statistics or authority are used in your current position in developing persuasive arguments, and provide examples of such use. .

Congratulations! You have recently been promoted to the position of regional manager for Hurts Car Rental Company in Florida. You need to make pricing decision and fleet size decision for Tampa branch to maximize its expected total profit in the coming month (with 4 weeks or periods), taking into account the behavior of both your customers and your competitor. Hurts has one primary competitor in Tampa with whom Hurts competes for market share. Your Market Intelligence (MI) has found that the competitor has adopted a masked price following strategy; that is, the competitors p 2 t price in period t will follow your last price p 1 t–1 within ±20% range: p 2 t = p 1 t–1 × εt , εt ∼ U[0.80, 1.20], t = 2, 3, 4. (37) Assume that the competitor begins by choosing the same price as yours in period (week) 1, p 1 1 = p 2 1 . MI also provides the weekly demand forecast for the coming 4 weeks based on the historical data. Your and your competitor’s pricing strategies, pt = (p 1 t , p 2 t ), jointly determine both the market size Nt(pt) and the market share πt(pt). The market size Nt(pt), or the total number of demands for Hurts and its competitor in week t, is determined by pt = (p 1 t , p 2 t ) via Nt(pt) = b0 + b1p 1 t + b2p 2 t , (38) where b0 = 105644.5, b1 = –377.5, and b2 = –676.25. The market share πt(pt) of Hurts, or the probability that a unit demand choosing Hurts instead of its competitor, is determined by the Multinomial logit (MNL) model:11 πt(pt) = 1 1 + exp(–c0 – c1p 1 t – c2p 2 t ) (39) where c0 = 0.0875, c1 = –0.0220, and c2 = 0.0170. Note that 0 ≤ πt(pt) ≤ 1, and your competitor’s market share is 1 – πt(pt). Therefore, your demand Dt(pt) in week t follows Binomial distribution, Dt(pt) ∼ Bino(Nt , πt), where both the number of trials (market size Nt(pt)) and the probability of success (market share πt(pt)) are determined by the pricing strategies via (38) and (39), respectively. Since the market size is sufficiently large, as MI pointed out, by Central Limit Theorem, your demand Dt(pt) is assumed to follow normal distribution Dt(pt) ∼ N (μt , σ 2 t ), (40) where μt = Nt · πt , and σt = p Nt · πt · (1 – πt), with Nt and πt are given in (38) and (39), respectively. Each unit demand materializes as a unit sale if met by a day-car supply. Unmet demand is lost. Thus, your revenue Rt(pt , St) in week t is given by Rt(pt , St) = p 1 t × min(St , Dt(pt)), (41) 11Based on the historical data, MI estimates coefficients bi in (38) via linear regression (regress() in MATLAB); and market share coefficients ci in (39) via Multinomial logistic regression ( mnrfit(), glmfit() in MATLAB). 49 where St = 7Q is the weekly day-car supply with the fleet size Q, and Dt(pt) is Hurts weekly demand in (40). Currently the branch has a fleet of Q = 1500 cars. Total costs are comprised of three parts: maintenance, inventory and fixed costs. Each unit sale.

Conduct research to identify techniques for maintaining participant interest in training. List a minimum of three specific techniques not found in the Blanchard and Thacker (2013) text and give a short explanation of each. Explain how these techniques can be used to deliver effective training, noting the learning style to which each technique appeals. Compare these three techniques with those identified in the course text, noting any differences or similarities. Your initial post should be 250 to 300 words. Use this week’s lecture as a foundation for your initial post. In addition to the Blanchard and Thacker (2013) text, use at least one additional scholarly source to support your discussion. Week Lecture for review and information Implementation In previous weeks, you learned how to conduct an effective training needs assessment and initial steps of designing training, especially designing outcome-oriented learning objectives that become the road map for the next phases of training. You read the Domtar case and how Raymond Royer, the CEO, took initiative to develop employees; how he focused on developing strategic direction and specific goals that focused on (a) return on investment and (b) customer service. You also learned about appropriate training methods selection in the design and development phases. The delivery methods and implementation of training are critical for the success of training in terms of employees’ engagement and motivation to learn. It is important to understand individuals’ learning styles to decide what methods are appropriate for a particular group of learners. To be more effective, training should include multiple training methods (e.g. lectures, brain storming, group work, discussions, role play, case analysis, simulations and games) and activities to motivate learners who have different types of learning styles, preferences, learning goals and personal expectations. Learner engagement is the key to learning. There are various methods you can use to engage and motivate learners for better results, such as role play, discussion, on-the-job training, simulation, self-directed learning, business games, case studies, team work, behavior modeling, etc. Styles of Learning People have different styles of learning. These learning styles help them to acquire new information and knowledge. There are many different learning styles but for simplicity they can be broken down into four major categories.
