Research Project - Community Assessment Report Purpose: For this assignment, you will use different types of data to complete a comparative community assessment report, that can be used by a local government agency. Community Assessments: can be used by government agencies and organizations NGO's (nongovernment organizations) to identify needs in a community, as well as to identify ways to most efficiently use community resources. A full community assessment includes the collection of both statistical data and the solicitation of public input. It would also involve the creation of a community group that included representation from multiple community interests. The solicitation of input and the creation of a stakeholder group is not feasible here, but we can begin the community assessment process by utilizing a number of different on-line and print resources. Important to note, is that in a typical community assessment report, you would be an employee being assigned the task of reporting on a specific community/set of communities, and would be assigned specific criteria to assess the communities with. For this project, you will identify and apply between 10 and 12 criteria related to livability and sustainability in a study of three Canadian communities, and make a recommendation as to an overall ranking (from 1st to 3 +5 ) for most liveable community. You will be selecting your 3 communities, and your criteria. Your 10-12 criteria will include items that you deem relevant from the headings below, in addition to other criteria that you might find relvant. Demographic and economic data, such as age: - Education - Ethnicity - income Social well-being data, such as:.

Future Trends in Public Administration Public administration is, by nature, a constantly changing field. As new local, state, and national leaders are elected and new administrations take office, policies and patterns inevitably change. Moreover, public administration is subject to the same economic, cultural, and technological shifts that affect the private sector, the nation, and the world. For example, the global recession has forced many private corporations to cut costs, streamline operations, and increase efficiency in order to remain profitable. Government organizations have had to enact similar changes in response to shrinking budgets and pressure to perform the same tasks with fewer resources. Throughout this course, you have explored many trends that have influenced the development of public administration in recent years, including the reinventing government movement, privatization, entrepreneurialism, and e-government. In this Discussion, you take a closer look at how two trends—technology and collaboration—have influenced public administration in recent years, and consider how you think one of them may influence the field in the future. Select one of the two trends you have examined this week: technology or collaboration. Reflect on how this trend has influenced public administration in recent years, and how it may continue to influence public administration in the future. Consider specific examples that support your ideas. With these thoughts in mind: Submit 150 – 500 word response: Due by Thursday 7/09/15 a brief description of the trend you selected. Then explain how this trend may influence public administration in the future. Provide at least two specific examples to support your thoughts. Support your work with specific citations from the Learning Resources. You are allowed to draw from additional sources to support your explanation, but you must cite using APA standards. All quoted material must be identified, cited, and referenced per APA standards. .

24th Assessment 2 Corporate Social Responsibility and the Triple Bottom Line Impact Report Type: Outcomes assessed 1, 2, 3 & 4 Due Date: Week 6 (Due 24th May 2020 Sunday by 23:55 PM) Weight: 40% Length: Report should be 2,000 – 2,500 words Submission: Turnitin Assignment Description. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a controversial topic and is widely debated throughout the world and increasingly gaining more prominence in Australia. The concept is broad and embraces the concept that companies have societal obligations beyond the profit goals of shareholders. CSR requires companies to consider the other two aspects of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL): impacts to the environment and society. Companies are required to consider the interests of all stakeholders including investors, suppliers, consumers, employees and the community in conducting its business. CSR in the Tourism and Hospitality Industry discusses issues and challenges faced by organizations implementing responsible business practices within the travel, hotel, leisure and hospitality industries. Your discussion will examine the role that Tourism Australia contributes to support CSR events and activities. The hospitality industry has a large footprint both in the area of providing employment and consumption of natural resources like energy, water, waste and food consumption. Your report will discuss the CSR activities of your chosen company, from within the Australian Tourism, Hospitality & Travel Industry, with initiatives related to community development, equality and diversity of the workforce, progressive work practices, and many other environmental causes. (Special updates: During this global economic collapse caused by the outbreak of the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic, how would the public and government react to the role of large multinational companies’ Corporate Social Responsibility programs? When the economy slumps, will organizations still prioritise causes other than the bottom line?) Conduct appropriate research and include some critical discussion in your report. Consider the tactical and strategic forms of CSR in your report. Approach and Requirement Warning and advice: There are many sources of information available on the internet. You need to avoid plagiarising other people’s materials – do not exceed the cut-off limit of a 20% similar score. If you do not understand the requirements of the assessment task, please ask the lecturer for clarification. If you need help with paraphrasing, please seek help at student services. If you have issues with time management, the best approach is to have a note book and list down the due dates of all Assessment task and start working on the tasks from the first day be adding snippets of content into the outline of your report. The development of the report is important. Always start with a concept map or plan to guide you. Follow the standard format of writing university-lev.

PAD 630 Milestone O ne Guidelines and Rubric Understanding the organizational, legal, and cultural differences between managing in the public sector versus the private sector is vital to organizational success. Public managers face unique challenges (both ideological and practical), which is why an understanding of the dynamic interaction of theory and practice is important. In addition, public managers need to understand the enduring issues and evolving tools required in public service. For this milestone, first select an organizational, a legal, or a cultural challenge facing public administrators that is also of interest to you. You may select one of these challenges, or you may choose another, with instructor approval:  Discuss the emergence of the “governance without government” concept, which focuses on the importance of networks, nontraditional partnerships, and the markets to guide society, rather than traditional bureaucratic institutions. This movement has taken hold in Europe and is gaining momentum in the United States.  How is the new public administration movement impacting the “accountability versus efficiency” paradigm that has defined the profession since its inception?  How is the reintroduction of privatization impacting public policy decision making and the targeted social outcomes? For example, imagine a state determines that access to high-speed internet for every home is essential for long-term public health, yet in areas of the state, the market has determined that it is not profitable to provide the service. Should the state form a partnership with a private sector business (i.e., subsidize) to ensure that their social goal is obtained?  What are effective performance measures to evaluate programs and management in the public sector? Traditionally, the focus has been on measuring inputs and activities. Is this focus still effective?  How can flexibility and creativity be integrated into the structures of public organizations in a way that allows for nimble, street-level decision making to swiftly adapt to ever-changing environmental conditions while maintaining some level of accountability to the citizens? For your milestone submission, draft the Introduction and Theoretical Overview sections of the final project (Sections I and II), focusing on the challenge you selected. Be sure to address all the following critical elements: I. Introduction Concisely describe your chosen organizational, legal, or cultural challenge in the field of public administration. II. Theoretical Overview: Ensure that you focus your response specifically on the organizational, legal, or cultural challenge that you selected. A. Public Administration Advocates: Describe the original advocates for the development of professional public management within the federal government of the United States. In your description, consider questions such as these: What were thei.

Running head: Annotated bibliography 1 Annotated bibliography 2 Annotated bibliography Vibert Jacob South University Administration-Politics Dichotomy Getha-taylor, H. (2008). Review of Public Personnel Administration. Review of Public Personnel Administration,, 28(2), 103-119. The author demonstrates where personnel administration lies. The authors explain that the personnel administration lies at the very core of administrative management. The thrust should substantive and positive, and not protective and negative. The article further states that public personnel administration should not be specialized and procedural as it was emphasized in the earlier times. The issues involved in the administration system is that, it is centralized and not effectively delegated which makes it lose the immediate relationship with the middle and lower managers whom they serve. Besides, the model involves traditional ways of management which focus on a central personnel organization that dictates the rules and procedures, mainly to achieve fairness and equity in public sector organizations. Little concern is given to line functions of the organization, whether they are paving roads, providing recreational services to the citizens, fostering diplomatic services, or delivering social services to clients with a foreign country. However, this was not the original intent, as the author points out in his study of the U.S civil services (1958), central personnel functions were aimed at professionalizing the workforce and providing equity and fairness in distributing a public good: government jobs. Beginning in the late 1800s, the federal government and major U.S. cities. Jurkiewicz, C. L. (2000). Public Personnel Management. Public Personnel Management,, 29(1), 55-74. Public personnel administration is depicted as to contribute to the creation of an environment that values and manages diversity, managers must decide who are diversity leaders and find support for those individuals. Managing and valuing diversity in administration-public dichotomy require a team approach: therefore, managers identified for the process must recognize that leadership and management skills are seldom concentrated on individuals. The big issues in the public personnel administration are managing diversity. Organizations must assist managers and personnel who manage the human resource to learn what the objectives of the organization are with respect to diversity, then receive pertinent training that will help personnel serving the public to accomplish the government’s roles. Therefore, public personnel administration commitment should start at the top of the organization pyramid with the recognition that the bottom-up organizational effort from diverse citizens can enhance the quality of decisions. Thus, leading to more substantive and innovative policies. Kellough, J. E., & Selden, S. C. (2003). The Reinvention of Public Personnel Administration. Public Administration Review,, ...

Purpose: The goal of this exercise is to observe a 'cultural scene' as an anthropologist would (i.e. based on everything you have learned in the course to-date). The student will analyze their observations in terms of themes from the subfield of cultural anthropology such as how it helps frame our societies (family, lifestyle, lineage, language and communication) and, in some ways, its evolution. Description: Culture as we have discussed in our readings and lecture notes is an incredible advantage that has allowed humans to enter almost every niche in nature. The development and maintenance of culture is what sets humans apart from other species. Culture varies by time and location. For this assignment, students will be observing a particular setting for 25 minutes, writing up your observations, and then analyzing them. Directions: In a 3-5 page written assignment, answer the following questions. 1) 1) Discuss culture and its importance to anthropology. a. This should include defining culture using the text and/or lecture notes. 2) 2) Choose a time and location for where/when you are going to conduct your observations of an ethnographic scene a. Examples of Possible Ethnographic Scenes i. The coming and going of shoppers in a mall ii. Getting on and riding the bus iii. Buying coffee at a coffee shop iv. Crossing at a cross-walk 3) 3) Go to the specified location and proceed with your observations. a. The easiest way to do this is to find a place to sit quietly and to simply watch what is going on. i. Please do not talk to or interview people during this time. b. Take handwritten (recommended) notes in a small notebook and/or mental notes of: i. details about the scene itself (time of day, lighting, furniture, plants, sounds, temperature, smell, vibe/energy, etc) ii. the people around you, not only their behavior but general information about their characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender, class, etc) iii. what you see people doing 1. this is the heart of your description and should provide the instructor of how the people you saw were involved in the scene you were observing iv. your thoughts and feelings while observing may be a brief section of the paper. 4) 4) When your 25 minutes are finished, leave the scene. In a quiet place, fill out your notes. Be sure you include more details about the topics from step 3. a. At this time, you should start to think about what themes, patterns, or conclusions you saw. This step is critical. b. Type up your notes (you will add them to the end of your write-up) 5) 5) Write a 3 - 5 page reaction paper about your observations Your paper should include a. Discussion about and definition of culture b. a ‘thick description’ of the location i. i.e. building you were in (what is the architecture like), descriptions of people there (in terms of characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-.

Q 1 Over the past 16 years, only two building permits for new housing construction have been issued in Sedgwick County, Colorado. This is consistent with the depopulation (particularly of younger persons) and economic diminution that is attributed to a declining rainfall since the 1970s. These are quantitative details. It is unclear how much of the depopulation was due to perceived opportunities elsewhere, to copycat or fad behavior, and to perceived change in local economic opportunity. Is qualitative analysis more likely to identify the leading cause of Sedgwick County's out-migration than are quantitative econometric methods? Why or why not?

Purpose : This assignment gives you a chance to produce a scholarly paper ( 10 + pages**) about current research in Information Science (IS) and related domains (security, business, finance, analytics, communications, social networks, etc.). By preparing it, you will familiarize yourself with information system issues, scientific methods of investigation, and theories and models used by IS researchers. See optional textbook for ideas: Davis and Shaw, ed. (2013) Introduction to Information Science and Technology. You are citing others’ ideas mainly as in a “literature review “and are not required to have original research or ideas. So your conclusion represents a synthesis of your research and conclusions. ( **Longer is better.) Because you have “research” and peer-reviewed publications to consider, the topic areas vary and include retrieval theory, knowledge management and information architecture, as well as user behavior, theories and models covering computer interactions, cognition, psychology, and human factors. The IS field of study includes search engines and meta-data analysis; statistical formulas and quantitative pattern analyses are evaluated. Computer-based technologies are investigated in IS to improve data base administration and information systems through knowledge-based systems (expert systems), artificial intelligence, decision support systems, data mining tools, encryption/decryption, system security (access, viruses, etc.), networking (handheld, wireless applications), collaboration, and object-oriented programming. Current topics: healthcare databases, social networking, spam, wireless, apps, informatics, blogs, wikis, RFIDs, grids. DEVELOP A THESIS STATEMENT based on what you know that is related to news or a scholarly reference(s) you read. Thesis Example : “The need for effective network security has increased since 9/11; however , the technology used by hackers advances each year ahead of IT efforts. Therefore , this paper will explore proven security approaches.” That is, use a 3-Part THESIS STRUCTURE: Positive statement ( theory or observed “truth”) However statement… (problem to research) Therefore statement… (approach you intend to use to resolve) FINAL PAPER REQUIREMENTS Write a 10-12 page paper (including charts, figures, bulleted lists, and other graphics; as well as reference list or bibliography).See outline and rubric below. Suggested Outline : (Note that illustrations such as charts or figures are very good to have; a cognitive style issue.) I. Abstract (write this last to summarize) II. Thesis statement III. Literature review (or background on topic) IV. Argument/discussion of research V. Results and conclusion VI. References (sources cited/bibliography in APA style) VII. (optional) appendices (supporting material) .

Description: In this assignment, you will take Draft 2 (introduction and review of literature), written in Unit VI, and add the body of your paper . Your body paragraphs should contain the six elements indicated below and be developed in an appropriate manner. If the body does not contain these elements, it is likely you have not fully developed the body, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignment. You will need to write at least four body paragraphs and incorporate five academic sources for this assignment. The paragraphs should be thorough and cover all the listed elements. Your Draft 3 (introduction, review of literature, and body) should include the elements listed below. Elements: Your grade for Draft 3 is based on your inclusion of various elements and the overall quality of your writing. Your Draft 3 must contain the following elements. 1. Cover page and APA formatting: The running head should include up to fifty (50) characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner. 2.

Topic sentence: This sentence summarizes the entire paragraph in one strong, well-written sentence, and it directly supports the thesis statement. b. Explanation of topic sentence (1-2 sentences): Often times there is more to be said about the topic sentence, more explanation that is necessary in order for it to be a clear idea, so there are usually a few sentences that follow the topic sentence that explicate the idea more for the reader. These sentences not only “unpack” the topic sentence, but they also anticipate the evidence that will be used to support the topic sentence, usually indirectly. c. Introduction to evidence (1-2 sentences): No piece of evidence (quotation, example, paraphrase, etc.) should be dropped into a paragraph without first introducing it. An introduction might include the title of the source, the author, and/or a short description of .

Published on The Root (http://www.theroot.com) ! Why I Am a Male Feminist By: Byron Hurt Posted: March 16, 2011 at 12:24 AM The word turns off a lot of men (insert snarky comment about man-hating feminazis here) -- and women. But here's why black men should be embracing the "f" word. When I was a little boy, my mother and father used to argue a lot. Some mornings, I would wake up to the alarming sound of my parents arguing loudly. The disagreement would continue until my father would yell with finality, "That is it! I'm not talking about this anymore!" The dispute would end right there. My mother never got the last word. My dad's yelling made me shrink in fear; I wanted to do something to make him stop raging against my mother. In those moments, I felt powerless because I was too small to confront my father. I learned early that he had an unfair advantage because of his gender. His size, strength and power intimidated my mother. I never saw my father hit her, but I did witness how injurious his verbal jabs could be when they landed on my mom's psyche. My father didn't always mistreat my mother, but when he did, I identified with her pain, not his bullying. When he hurt her, he hurt me, too. My mother and I had a special bond. She was funny, smart, loving and beautiful. She was a great listener who made me feel special and important. And whenever the going got tough, she was my rock and my foundation. One morning, after my father yelled at my mom during an argument, she and I stood in the bathroom together, alone, getting ready for the day ahead of us. The tension in the house was as thick as a cloud of dark smoke. I could tell that my mother was upset. "I love you, Ma, but I just wish that you had a little more spunk when you argue with Daddy," I said, low enough so my father couldn't hear me. She looked at me, rubbed my back and forced a smile. I so badly wanted my mother to stand up for herself. I didn't understand why she had to submit to him whenever they fought. Who was he to lay down the law in the household? What made him so special? I grew to resent my father's dominance in the household, even though I loved him as dearly as I loved my mother. His anger and intimidation shut down my mother, sister and me from freely expressing our opinions whenever they didn't sit well with his own. Something about the inequity in their relationship felt unjust to me, but at that young age, I couldn't articulate why. One day, as we sat at the kitchen table after another of their many spats, my mother told me, "Byron, don't ever treat a woman the way your father treats me." I wish I had listened to her advice. As I grew older and got into my own relationships with girls and women, I sometimes behaved as I saw my father behave. I, too, became defensive and verbally abusive whenever the girl or woman I was dating criticized or challenged me. I would belittle my girlfriends by scrutinizing their weight or th.
