As the cost of living continues to increase, the longer individuals are needing to work. Therefore, individuals are working past the retirement age to continue to collect a steady income that will help them pay their bills effectively. Some underlying situations that contribute to discrimination by age is the details presented in a job qualification. Many employers expect individuals to have a bachelor or master’s degree, which is fine. However, many baby boomers received their degrees many years ago that detailed outdated information than what is presented now within a college course. Employers will need to reconsider the word format when drawing up a job qualification and maybe detailed individuals to have certifications because baby boomers could take steady training and classes to obtain certifications to stay up to date on present issues within their field of business. I believe employers should consider having a multi-generation leadership team because this could increase diversity and inclusion and have employees feel comfortable that there is opportunity to grow regardless of age. Also, employers should train employees regularly as technology continues to expand. That way many baby boomers are feeling left out when new technology is presented, and they have the choose whether to learn and continue to grow or retire due to the new demand of technology. Either way employers have to adhere to the Title VII and not discriminate on any employee or potential hire due to age but rather look into their qualifications, job performance and skill set to determine the appropriate candidate for a job.

Here are a few key points about infant bonding:
- Bonding with an infant in the early stages of development is important for the child's social and emotional well-being. It helps the baby feel safe, secure, and able to form healthy attachments.
- However, bonding does not always happen instantly or naturally for some mothers and babies due to medical or mental health issues. Things like a NICU stay, postpartum depression, or a difficult delivery can make immediate bonding challenging.
- Even if bonding is difficult at first due to outside factors, it is still possible to form a strong attachment with time, care, and consistency. Having family support can help the mother-baby bond develop when medical issues interfere with

Here are the key steps for conducting a trade area analysis:
1. Define the trade area. Determine the geographic boundaries that encompass the majority (e.g. 75%+) of a store's customers based on factors like drive time, road networks, geographical barriers. Common trade areas are 5, 10, 15 minute drives.
2. Analyze demographic data. Obtain census data on population, income levels, age distribution, household types etc. within the trade area and compare to national averages. This provides insights into customer base.
3. Examine competitor analysis. Identify and locate any competing stores or brands within the trade area. Analyzing their strengths, weaknesses and customer value propositions helps determine opportunities.

This document discusses exogenous estrogen and its role in endometrial cancer (EC) development. It notes that excess exposure to exogenous estrogen through sources like hormone therapy, tamoxifen use, and phytoestrogens is a major cause of EC. Studies have found increased EC risks associated with estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy. Cyclic combined hormone therapy and progesterone replacement have been shown to reduce EC risk when taken with estrogen. Tamoxifen and raloxifene used to treat breast cancer also increase EC risk in postmenopausal women. The risks vary based on dose and duration of exposure to exogenous estrogen sources.

Choose a world culture you are not familiar with.
Identify two–three online videos or movies representative of this culture. These could be examples of cultural expressions such as a Bollywood movie from India or Anime videos from Japan.
Evaluate two hours of such a video. Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research articles about your selected culture.
Select a scholarly article that analyzes the same culture presented in the videos you have observed.
Write a paper describing the cultural differences you have observed in the video. How are these observations supported by the research article?
Be sure to include the following:
Describe the videos you have watched.
Explain the main points of the videos.
Examine what stood out about the culture.
Compare and contrast the similarities and differences of this culture with your own.
Examine the ways of this culture. Is it one you would want to visit or live in?
Would you experience culture shock if you immersed yourself in this culture? Why or why not?
Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.

Leaders and managers often have to deliver unpleasant or difficult information to other employees or other internal or external stakeholders. How well this news is delivered can affect employee relations as well as public perceptions.
Review the following scenario:
A new company claims it manufactures the best dog food in the market. It employs around 250 people worldwide. After six months in business, one of the company’s brands is found to contain harmful bacteria. Overnight, reports start pouring in from all over the country about pets falling sick, some critically. The company wants to communicate with its stakeholders through a memo before major news channels start to cover the disease.
Assume that you are an assistant to the company’s chairperson. Based on your analysis of the scenario and using the reading material covered in this module, draft two memos for the chairperson. One memo should address the board of directors and the other the company’s employees.
Make assumptions about whether it is the food product that has bacteria or if there is another explanation for the pets’ sickness.

Assignment 2 Case of Anna OOne of the very first cases that c.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: Case of Anna O
One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.
Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.
Review the following:
The Case of Anna O.
One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.
Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.
Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).
Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.
Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:
•Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations.
•On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
•How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

Assignment 2 American ConstitutionFollowing the Revolutionary War.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: American Constitution
Following the Revolutionary War and separation from England, the need for a new government was clear. A group of men, who became known as the “nation’s founders” or Founding Fathers, developed a new government based on principles and beliefs they knew through their experiences, readings, and study. The Founding Fathers had a great deal in common with each other, including property interests, education, and extensive political experience. These common experiences and birthrights created a strong consensus about what should be incorporated into the government that would replace England’s.
Troubles developed immediately upon establishment of the United States of America with the 1781 Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Economic difficulties and means of dividing power between leaders and competing interests caused conflict. The conflicts had to be resolved, and some of the Founding Fathers and others, who would come to be known as the Framers went to Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. However, it became apparent immediately that the Articles could not be revised, and therefore, they were abandoned, and the Framers set about to create a new form of government. Though the effort was eventually successful and resulted in the Constitution, there was a great deal of conflict during its development in the summer of 1787. The form of government established incorporated the ideas of diverse groups, as well as the Framers’ recognition of the need for compromise.
Research the history of the American Constitution using the Argosy University online library resources. Respond to
one
question from each of the question sets A and B.
A. Creating the Constitution
Consider the three constitutional proposals: the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise. If you were a delegate and without the experience of the past 200 years, which constitutional proposal would you have supported? Why?
Why do you think the framers were silent on the issue of slavery in the wording of the Constitution? What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation?
What were the issues in the Constitutional Convention? Who were the Federalists and Anti-Federalists?
B. Living with the Constitution
What are the formal and informal methods of constitutional change?
How do checks and balances work in the lawmaking process today? Which current and important events do you think are examples of the success of checks and balances?
Do you think the Constitution is a relevant political document for the twenty-first century? What new amendments might be appropriate today?

Assignment 2 A Crime in CentervaleWhile patrolling during his shi.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: A Crime in Centervale
While patrolling during his shift, a Centervale police officer, Detective Johnson, saw two men standing on a street corner. Johnson observed the two proceed alternately back and forth between the street ahead and the corner, pausing and returning to conference. Detective Johnson found this strange as the Love's Jeweler shop was down the street. The two men repeated this ritual alternately three to four times, which appeared as if they were looking out for someone or were about to steal something. Detective Johnson saw a third man approach and handing something to one of the two men, which he stuffed into his pocket.
Detective Johnson approached the three men and identified himself as a policeman. He saw the man that stuffed the item in his pocket place his hand in his pocket again. Detective Johnson kept his eyes on the man and asked their names. Before they could answer, the detective turned the man around, patted down his outside clothing, and felt a hard object. The man objected saying, "Hey man, you can't do that. I have rights. I want my lawyer." Detective Johnson sneered, "Oh! you'll get your lawyer." Upon feeling the object, the officer removed his gun and asked the three to raise their hands and place them on the wall. The officer patted each man down and found a gun in the pocket of one man. He removed the jacket of another man and found a diamond ring in the inside pocket. The third man did not have anything in his pockets.
The three were taken to the police station and charged with grand theft and burglary. One of the men was also charged for carrying a concealed weapon. Detective Johnson ran the information concerning the gun and found that it matched the gun related to an aggravated battery and rape case from a year ago. The detective questioned Danny, the man who had the gun. At first, Danny did not want to say anything, but the detective continued questioning him. After three hours, Danny confessed to the aggravated battery and rape case. He denied being involved in the grand theft and burglary.
Danny had a first appearance in the court within three days, whereupon he is appointed an attorney but denied bail. Danny does not see his attorney until the next court appearance. The attorney asks what he wants to do and Danny said, "I want to fight it man." The attorney tells Danny, "That's not going to work; the DA is offering you a good deal if you plea." Over the objection of the victim in the court, the DA offers Danny probation if he testifies against the other two in the burglary case. The DA wants the other two to be sentenced to ten years in that case. While shaking his head, Danny pleads guilty above the cries of the victim. The DA asks the judge to hold off on sentencing until after he testifies in the other trial.
After Danny testifies against the other two defendants and they are sentenced to ten years, Danny goes back to the court. The judge, not agreeing with the deal, decides to sent.

assignment 1The idea of living in a country where all policy sh.docxBenitoSumpter862
assignment 1
The idea of living in a country where “all policy shall be based on the weight of evidence” seems unreal for me. However this idea does not seems so crazy for Neil deGrasse Tyson, who believes this idea could work in a country. But could it really work?
The ‘Rationalia’ proposal is about that every idea need to be based on something. It means everything has to follow a process which is gathering data, observation, experimenting and having a conclusion. For a policy to get approved it needs to have the weight of evidence to support it, if it does not have it, then it will not get approve. I found it very interesting how white supremacy supported African slavery and how there was an effort to restricted the reproduction of other races. I feel like this would turn into a chaotic country because there are so many things that science cannot explain, scientist have theories only. Like most of the ancient civilization that had big constructions, ex: The Incas in Peru, there is no explanation for how the Machu Picchu ruins were constructed, or like the Pyramids in Egypt. As the scientist keep researching, new theories originate and no conclusion is made.
I do not think religion has all the answers also. Why were women not able to touch their husbands or feed their animals while menstruating? Why a women would be considered contaminated or not pure base on something as normal as menstruation. Or the idea of it is okay for men to have multiple wives but it was not okay for women to get married twice? I do believe that there is a God, but the idea of the men been superior in both science and religion makes me feel frustrated as a woman. It would be very difficult for a country to be ruled by science or by God only. I feel that there should always be a balance between science and religion, even though both want to compete with each other and have the ultimate opinion. There are somethings that I disagree with both of them. There is no need to keep fighting against each other, even the pope supported the scientific view of evolution, and as the article “Nonoverlapping Magisteria” by Stephen Jay Gould said “The Catholic Church had never opposed evolution and had no reason to do so”. For some people like me, science and religion go together.
assigment 2
In the first reading “Reflections on Rationalia” by Neil deGrasse Tyson, Tyson discusses an idea of developing a virtual world in which all its policies have to be founded based on evidence, meaning that the state would be undergoing constant research, forming a foundation for its government and how its citizens should think. Within the proposal for the new state, Tyson says that a great amount of funding will be given to the continued study of the human sciences, along with extensive training for the young to learn how to obtain, analyze and gather conclusions on data, and citizens would have the freedom to be irrational, simply no policies will be made with.

Recognizing the Role of Adhering to the Standard of Care
When providing health care, there are standards of care which a reasonably prudent provider should follow. Providers at all levels are held to these standards of care. Failure to provide competent care to your patients will put you at risk for malpractice. Remaining current with the evidenced-based guidelines and providing optimal care will minimize the risk of liability.
For this Assignment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that explains any legal implications that exist for failure to adhere to a standard of care, the key elements of malpractice, and compare the differences in malpractice policy options.

CASE 1.3 THE INFLUENCE DIAGRAM AND DECISION TREE—STRUCTURING PROBLEMS OF ENERGY POLICY AND INTERNATIONAL SECURIY
Along with other policy-analytic methods discussed earlier in this chapter (Figure 1.1), the influence diagram and decision tree are useful tools for structuring policy problems.52 The influence diagram (Figure C1.3) displays the policy, the National Maximum Speed Limit, as a rectangle. A rectangle always refers to a policy choice or decision node, which in this case is the choice between adopting and not adopting the national maximum speed limit of 55 mph. To the right and above the decision node are uncertain events, represented as ovals, which are connected to the decision node with arrows showing how the speed limit affects or is affected by them. The rectangles with shaved corners represent valued policy outcomes or objectives. The objectives are to lower fuel consumption, reduce travel time, reduce injuries, and avert traffic fatalities. To the right of the objectives is another shaved rectangle, which designates the net benefits (benefits less costs) of the four objectives. The surprising result of using the influence diagram for problem structuring is the discovery of causally relevant economic events, such as the recession and unemployment, .

There are many legal safeguards in place to ensure that police officers interfere with citizens' Fourth Amendment rights under limited circumstances. In Centervale, there have been several citizen complaints about Fourth Amendment violations by the local police department. The Centervale chief of police, Charles Draper, has determined that the behavior of some police officers reveals a lack of consistent understanding of the criminal justice concepts dealing with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches and unreasonable seizures.

Assignment 2 Case of Anna OOne of the very first cases that c.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: Case of Anna O
One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.
Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.
Review the following:
The Case of Anna O.
One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.
Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.
Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).
Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.
Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

Assignment 2 American ConstitutionFollowing the Revolutionary War.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: American Constitution
Following the Revolutionary War and separation from England, the need for a new government was clear. A group of men, who became known as the “nation’s founders” or Founding Fathers, developed a new government based on principles and beliefs they knew through their experiences, readings, and study. The Founding Fathers had a great deal in common with each other, including property interests, education, and extensive political experience. These common experiences and birthrights created a strong consensus about what should be incorporated into the government that would replace England’s.
Troubles developed immediately upon establishment of the United States of America with the 1781 Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Economic difficulties and means of dividing power between leaders and competing interests caused conflict. The conflicts had to be resolved, and some of the Founding Fathers and others, who would come to be known as the Framers went to Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. However, it became apparent immediately that the Articles could not be revised, and therefore, they were abandoned, and the Framers set about to create a new form of government. Though the effort was eventually successful and resulted in the Constitution, there was a great deal of conflict during its development in the summer of 1787. The form of government established incorporated the ideas of diverse groups, as well as the Framers’ recognition of the need for compromise.
Research the history of the American Constitution using the Argosy University online library resources. Respond to
one
question from each of the question sets A and B.
A. Creating the Constitution
Consider the three constitutional proposals: the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise. If you were a delegate and without the experience of the past 200 years, which constitutional proposal would you have supported? Why?
Why do you think the framers were silent on the issue of slavery in the wording of the Constitution? What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation?
What were the issues in the Constitutional Convention? Who were the Federalists and Anti-Federalists?
B. Living with the Constitution
What are the formal and informal methods of constitutional change?
How do checks and balances work in the lawmaking process today? Which current and important events do you think are examples of the success of checks and balances?
Do you think the Constitution is a relevant political document for the twenty-first century? What new amendments might be appropriate today?

Assignment 2 A Crime in CentervaleWhile patrolling during his shi.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: A Crime in Centervale
While patrolling during his shift, a Centervale police officer, Detective Johnson, saw two men standing on a street corner. Johnson observed the two proceed alternately back and forth between the street ahead and the corner, pausing and returning to conference. Detective Johnson found this strange as the Love's Jeweler shop was down the street. The two men repeated this ritual alternately three to four times, which appeared as if they were looking out for someone or were about to steal something. Detective Johnson saw a third man approach and handing something to one of the two men, which he stuffed into his pocket.
Detective Johnson approached the three men and identified himself as a policeman. He saw the man that stuffed the item in his pocket place his hand in his pocket again. Detective Johnson kept his eyes on the man and asked their names. Before they could answer, the detective turned the man around, patted down his outside clothing, and felt a hard object. The man objected saying, "Hey man, you can't do that. I have rights. I want my lawyer." Detective Johnson sneered, "Oh! you'll get your lawyer." Upon feeling the object, the officer removed his gun and asked the three to raise their hands and place them on the wall. The officer patted each man down and found a gun in the pocket of one man. He removed the jacket of another man and found a diamond ring in the inside pocket. The third man did not have anything in his pockets.
The three were taken to the police station and charged with grand theft and burglary. One of the men was also charged for carrying a concealed weapon. Detective Johnson ran the information concerning the gun and found that it matched the gun related to an aggravated battery and rape case from a year ago. The detective questioned Danny, the man who had the gun. At first, Danny did not want to say anything, but the detective continued questioning him. After three hours, Danny confessed to the aggravated battery and rape case. He denied being involved in the grand theft and burglary.
Danny had a first appearance in the court within three days, whereupon he is appointed an attorney but denied bail. Danny does not see his attorney until the next court appearance. The attorney asks what he wants to do and Danny said, "I want to fight it man." The attorney tells Danny, "That's not going to work; the DA is offering you a good deal if you plea." Over the objection of the victim in the court, the DA offers Danny probation if he testifies against the other two in the burglary case. The DA wants the other two to be sentenced to ten years in that case. While shaking his head, Danny pleads guilty above the cries of the victim. The DA asks the judge to hold off on sentencing until after he testifies in the other trial.
After Danny testifies against the other two defendants and they are sentenced to ten years, Danny goes back to the court. The judge, not agreeing with the deal, decides to sent.

assignment 1The idea of living in a country where all policy sh.docxBenitoSumpter862
assignment 1
The idea of living in a country where “all policy shall be based on the weight of evidence” seems unreal for me. However this idea does not seems so crazy for Neil deGrasse Tyson, who believes this idea could work in a country. But could it really work?
The ‘Rationalia’ proposal is about that every idea need to be based on something. It means everything has to follow a process which is gathering data, observation, experimenting and having a conclusion. For a policy to get approved it needs to have the weight of evidence to support it, if it does not have it, then it will not get approve. I found it very interesting how white supremacy supported African slavery and how there was an effort to restricted the reproduction of other races. I feel like this would turn into a chaotic country because there are so many things that science cannot explain, scientist have theories only. Like most of the ancient civilization that had big constructions, ex: The Incas in Peru, there is no explanation for how the Machu Picchu ruins were constructed, or like the Pyramids in Egypt. As the scientist keep researching, new theories originate and no conclusion is made.
I do not think religion has all the answers also. Why were women not able to touch their husbands or feed their animals while menstruating? Why a women would be considered contaminated or not pure base on something as normal as menstruation. Or the idea of it is okay for men to have multiple wives but it was not okay for women to get married twice? I do believe that there is a God, but the idea of the men been superior in both science and religion makes me feel frustrated as a woman. It would be very difficult for a country to be ruled by science or by God only. I feel that there should always be a balance between science and religion, even though both want to compete with each other and have the ultimate opinion. There are somethings that I disagree with both of them. There is no need to keep fighting against each other, even the pope supported the scientific view of evolution, and as the article “Nonoverlapping Magisteria” by Stephen Jay Gould said “The Catholic Church had never opposed evolution and had no reason to do so”. For some people like me, science and religion go together.
assigment 2
In the first reading “Reflections on Rationalia” by Neil deGrasse Tyson, Tyson discusses an idea of developing a virtual world in which all its policies have to be founded based on evidence, meaning that the state would be undergoing constant research, forming a foundation for its government and how its citizens should think. Within the proposal for the new state, Tyson says that a great amount of funding will be given to the continued study of the human sciences, along with extensive training for the young to learn how to obtain, analyze and gather conclusions on data, and citizens would have the freedom to be irrational, simply no policies will be made with.
Assignment 1Recognizing the Role of Adhering to the Standar.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 1:
Recognizing the Role of Adhering to the Standard of Care
When providing health care, there are standards of care which a reasonably prudent provider should follow. Providers at all levels are held to these standards of care. Failure to provide competent care to your patients will put you at risk for malpractice. Remaining current with the evidenced-based guidelines and providing optimal care will minimize the risk of liability.
For this Assignment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that explains any legal implications that exist for failure to adhere to a standard of care, the key elements of malpractice, and compare the differences in malpractice policy options.
To prepare:
Consider the importance of using professional resources such as the National Guideline Clearinghouse to guide care delivered
Create a PowerPoint presentation no more than 15 slides in length that addresses the following:
Identify and explain any legal implications that exist for failure to adhere to a standard of care
Identify and explain the key elements of malpractice

CASE 1.3 THE INFLUENCE DIAGRAM AND DECISION TREE—STRUCTURING PROBLEMS OF ENERGY POLICY AND INTERNATIONAL SECURIY
Along with other policy-analytic methods discussed earlier in this chapter (Figure 1.1), the influence diagram and decision tree are useful tools for structuring policy problems.52 The influence diagram (Figure C1.3) displays the policy, the National Maximum Speed Limit, as a rectangle. A rectangle always refers to a policy choice or decision node, which in this case is the choice between adopting and not adopting the national maximum speed limit of 55 mph. To the right and above the decision node are uncertain events, represented as ovals, which are connected to the decision node with arrows showing how the speed limit affects or is affected by them. The rectangles with shaved corners represent valued policy outcomes or objectives. The objectives are to lower fuel consumption, reduce travel time, reduce injuries, and avert traffic fatalities. To the right of the objectives is another shaved rectangle, which designates the net benefits (benefits less costs) of the four objectives. The surprising result of using the influence diagram for problem structuring is the discovery of causally relevant economic events, such as the recession and unemployment, .

Assignment 1 Unreasonable Searches and SeizuresThe Fourth Amend.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 1: Unreasonable Searches and Seizures
The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution protects citizens' rights to be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion. The text of the amendment reads: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
There are many legal safeguards in place to ensure that police officers interfere with citizens' Fourth Amendment rights under limited circumstances. In Centervale, there have been several citizen complaints about Fourth Amendment violations by the local police department. The Centervale chief of police, Charles Draper, has determined that the behavior of some police officers reveals a lack of consistent understanding of the criminal justice concepts dealing with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches and unreasonable seizures.

· Wyner, D. (2015).
6. What is the hypothesis?
· Levels of stress and anxiety would be lower and coping ability
levels higher during periods of biofeedback intervention
7. How many participants were in the study?
· Originally 7 but dropped to 4
8. Who were the participants (e.g., college students, infants,
etc)?

11. How many levels of the independent variable(s) were there?
· 4 levels
2. · 2 levels
12. What were the levels of the IV(s)? That is, what groups
were people divided into?

Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-tem scale (GAD-7), iPhone, log
sheets
15. Summarize what the participants did.
· Participants were asked to use the device for the first phase of
the study and take the same three assessments at the end of that
period. In the second phase, the participants didn’t use the
device and again completed the assessments. This pattern
happened one more time and they took the assessment a final
time. Participants returned logs and were provided with new
ones each time.
16. What type of research method was used? That is, was it an
experiment, a correlational study, an observational study or a
case study?

of the study and compiling the data into individual graphs for
each participant
18. Did the author(s) find a significant effect?
· They saw that their anxiety and stress levels decreased
significantly and better able to monitor their stress
3. 19. What did you learn from the figure (graph) in the results
section?
· Stress and anxiety levels decreased while coping abilities
increased
20. Was the hypothesis supported?
· Yes, because the assessment scores showed stress and anxiety
levels were lower during phases when biofeedback was
provided, but it was deemed a substantial commitme nt due to
the difficulty of the participants and researchers to stay in
contact which led to having some incomplete data.
21. Are there any ethical issues with this study? If so, what are
they?
· They only had one biofeedback monitor for the second study
that they all had to share, and they had to make an appointment
in order to use it, possibly increasing the levels of stress

· That biofeedback is a productive tool in lowering people’s
stress and anxiety levels
23. Did the author(s) make any suggestions for further
investigation? If so, what suggestion was made?
· Have a better means of communication from researcher to
participant, having them keep the monitor, more participants,
pay participants
24. How many references were cited in this article?
· 18
25. What did you think of the article?
· The article was interesting. It’s important to recognize the
amount of stress and anxiety college students go through
26. Was it an effective study? Do you accept the results? Why
or why not?
· I feel as though this was an effective study. I think it’s
important to focus on people’s mental health and how to try and
help deal with it, the results are there to prove it.

Most people love how Tesla's service works as it mainly doesn't
aim to make money off its customers from its services that it
offers, and it also bends backward for early customers. Tesla's
products tend to bring about long-term reliability as most of its
cars have many fewer moving parts. Moreover, with the
continuous improvement designs of its vehicles, Tesla tends to
make them more reliable. Thus, making them cheaper to fix.
However, with all those advantages Tesla brings about, there
5. are some changes or improvements that Tesla could focus on for
its success. Firstly, Tesla tends to have a mobile service
whereby most customers can check issues and be solved through
the mobile service. This forces the customers to make
appointments through a mobile application to get their cars
fixed. Not all customers are convenient with using the mobile
service others prefer face-to-face or phone conversation with
the technician. I will propose the company hire more people for
the existing service centers and hope to open new ones in areas
with high sales for them to perform services to their customers.
Secondly, most customers who use Tesla have complained of
getting an appointment after a few weeks. Tesla needs to hire
more mobile service technicians, and according to Fosse (2020),
Tesla needs to open more service centers and increase their staff
to support its growth. With Tesla aiming to reduce the service
demand needed through their innovative design, Tesla must
have a little more service to protect its reputation.

What kind of communication needs to occur between
management, employees, and the change agent(s)?
Elon Musk, the CEO and the face of Tesla, isn't a fan of
bureaucracy meetings hierarchy or any other system to hinder
immediate communication (Kanter & Loria, 2019). He expects
employees to apply common sense to the task at hand rather
than wasting time going through various managers to pass on a
piece of information. According to an email sent to employees
by Elon Musk cited in Bariso (2017), he stated that it's down for
data to go from one manager to its employee and then back the
same way will lead the managers that encouraged finding
themselves working in another company. Tesla is encouraging
direct communication among its employees in various
6. departments in that it uses the shortest path to get the job done
and mainly discourages the chain of command communication.
In other words, the organizationallows a free flow of
information between all departments to get the job done within
the shortest period, rather than wasting time passing
information from one director of another department to the
director of other departments to get the data to a particular
employee.

Identify at least two proactive steps the organization needs to
take today to avert possible problems in the future.
In the third quarter of 2017, there were production woes
whereby the company intended to produce 1500 model 3 cars
for September alone but only achieved creating 222 modelsthree
cars (Global Electronic Services Inc, 2017). This originated
because being dependent on one external supplier as an external
supplier had issues with Tesla, forcing the Tesla manufacturers
to rework one of the four steps to create their car batteries. To
avoid such problems in the near future, Tesla should aim to be
independent in making all of its parts rather than depending on
third-party suppliers. Self-reliance in manufacturing your parts
tends to create more control over production and enables the
company to avoid third-party products' risks. With Tesla using
highly automated systems, the company should opt to value
adaptability more as humans can adapt to change more than
artificial intelligence (AI), Floreano (2018), which also led to
7. the company's reduced output.

Identify and explain the most significant obstacle that might be
encountered by each of the following: management, employees,
the change agent(s), and other significant stakeholders?
One of the significant obstacles that face Tesla's management is
receiving lawsuits from different investors and other
stakeholders. According to various petitions that have been
against Tesla, they tend to be expensive for the company as they
have to hire or appoint costly lawyers to get the best favorable
decision. With this, it tends to affect a company's funding, and
the share prices might fall and go down with each lawsuit thus,
putting the company at risk. According to Alamalhodaei (2021),
a Tesla investor sued the company and Musk for the continuous
sending of erratic tweets that tended to violate the settlement
with the US Security and Exchange Commission. The Investor
stated that with Musk's erratic tweets, it tends to face potential
fines and penalties from various regulators that could drive
down the company's share price that's putting the company at
risk.
Employees at Tesla tend to face more layoffs, and those that
have been fired tend to point out that Musk has created a more
toxic environment working at Tesla (Matousek, 2020). The
electric car market becoming more demanding extends to more
job stress and employees working long hours. According to the
survey done by Matousek (2020), stated that the nine former
8. employees interviewed, one of them said that there are a million
things that might go wrong from a car being manufactured and
reaching the final consumer; thus, one needs to be perfect
everywhere in every step along the way or else one would be
fired.

What sacrifices might need to be made to accomplish the
goals/objectives of this organization?
According to Brooks (2018), the company's mission is
accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy. To
achieve this mission, Tesla opts to recruit people who genuinely
believe the company's mission—having employees who share
the common goal and drive the company to achieve its mission
and vision, thus creating a loyal employee base. For Tesla to
maintain and be competitive in the electric car market, it has to
ensure that its employees will work tremendously hard and
improve their communication channels. Tesla is also aiming to
build a medium-sized, mass market and low weight vehicle it
will tend to move to a high strength steel construction or have a
new aluminum chassis. Advantages of these cars are that it's
fast and most likely affordable. For Tesla to be competitive in
the electric car market, it will lower their price benchmark for
their cars as Nissan and GM have sold more electric vehicles
than Tesla because of the cost that is less than the target price
10. Problem Statement: Tesla may be on the brink of extinction due
to an increase in electric models from their competition and
their inability to meet their projected production levels to turn a
profit.
Criteria
Research Findings
Citation of Sources
Provide APA citations for the company’s annual report and the
other research sources utilized in completing the assignment.
What are the indicators of an awareness of a need for change
within the selected organization?
1. Environmental
Transportation and electricity production are two of the largest
sources of GHG emissions, making up more than half of all U.S.
emissions. Tesla has an ecosystem that involves solar, batteries,
and vehicles. This ecosystem’s goal is to help decrease the
transportation, electricity production, and energy use of all
people that are connected to the grid.
2. Reliance of the grid
In South Australia, Tesla turned on the world's largest lithium-
ion battery. A 50-year storm had wreaked havoc on the region's
vital infrastructure, resulting in a nationwide blackout that left
1.7 million people without power. Tesla's battery system was
activated in milliseconds to assist in grid stabilization. This
grid-scale energy storage project is a zero-emissions solution
that is reducing power outages and improving the reliability of
South Australia's electrical infrastructure.
3. Access to sustainable energy
More than 1 billion people do not have access to electricity, and
many of those who do rely on polluting sources like coal or
fossil fuels on the island of Ta’u in American Samoa. Tesla is
bringing energy solutions that are both sustainable and
affordable to communities all over the world. Tesla built a
11. microgrid with over 5.3K solar panels and 60 Powerpack
systems that can power the entire island on clean energy for
three full days without the sun. Instead of burning nearly 110K
gallons of diesel per year, paying for rising fuel and
transportation costs, and risking negative health effects Tesla
has made it easier than ever to use bio-diesel.
4. Building the safest car from the ground up
Tesla's mission has always prioritized occupant safety. Vehicle
safety is critical for widespread adoption of all -electric
vehicles. Tesla positioned the battery pack and electric motors
beneath the floor of their first full-sized vehicle, the Model S,
to give it an extremely low center of gravity, greatly reducing
the risk of rollover while improving handling and performance.
This battery placement is now standard on all Tesla vehicles.

What role does management play within change for this
organization?
Tesla relies on its management team to be leading factors in the
company's rise and success. Managers are key decision makers
for the company, and aim to lead their company in the right
direction for years to come. The infamous Elon Musk (CEO and
product architect) uses his leadership style to set the tone for
Tesla’s management and at entry employee level. Musk believes
there is a better way to do everything, and that going above and
beyond the standard is what will set Tesla Motors apart from its
competitors in the industry. The publicity that Tesla receives is
12. mainly because of this style of management, it is bold and
unique. This gives the company a massive amount of media
attention that boosts productivity within the structure of the
company. But massive amounts of media coverage can be
dangerous to the company, especially when it's centered towards
the manager of the company. Based on this, the following
attributes from management inspire positive change within the
organization:
1. Inspiration
Although Tesla’s management is known to be very bold, the
unattainable ideas and project proposals inspire employees to do
a little more than required. This maximizes productivity and
also brings forward ideas that could put the company in a good
spot.
2. Innovation
Tesla’s upper management pushes innovation, they go above
and beyond to ensure that their next model paves a path for the
industry, thus setting Tesla apart. Management's approach to the
creation of new electric cars have inspired classic cars like the
Ford Mustang to go electric. According to Furr & Dyer (2020),
“there is no question that the company has shifted the auto
industry toward electric vehicles and achieved consistently
growing revenues” (Para. 5).
3. Ambition
Tesla is one of the most ambitious companies in the world, and
that is all thanks to Musk and upper management. Gwynne
Shotwell, president and COO of SpaceX says,“When Elon says
something, you have to pause and not blurt out, ‘Well, that’s
impossible.’ You zip it, you think about it, and you find ways to
get it done” (Boogaa, n.d). This statement shows management's
mindset on the direction of the company, and compliments the
13. previous statement of Tesla going above and beyond.
In summary, management brings key characteristics and
demands forward that inspire positive change, and allow
employees to find a purpose in their work.

innovation.
How will this awareness of change be important to at least three
stakeholders in the organization?
Tesla’s overall goal is to help change the world by transitioning
to sustainable energy (Tesla, n.d.). Employees, leaders, and
investors all should take the time to become very aware of this
change because Tesla needs to have a certain confidence about
improving their profitability for the future.
Tesla’s employees play a very crucial role in stirring up change
within the organization. The employees being aware of the
changes, not only within Tesla, but also within the market is
very important. By being aware of this they are going to be
thinking more about how to continue to be innovative and
maintaining pace with the global market. To help with this,
Tesla actually uses a survey tool called Tesla360. This tool was
designed to measure employee engagement while also eliciting
employee feedback and suggestions (Everwise, 2015). So even
while the employees don’t direct the change in the company,
14. they put invaluable input. Also, being aware of change will
allow and help the leaders implement changes that improve so
much including their sustainability and productivity. Honestly,
the awareness will help with the overall satisfaction within the
company.
Aside from Tesla's employees, Tesla’s leaders drive the change
at Tesla. The corporate structure that Tesla has adapted follows
the conventional, hierarchical model where leaders and
managers are able to successfully veer the company and relay
the change (Meyer, 2018). Meyer (2018) proceeds to state that
“Elon Musk’s leadership effectiveness depends on the corporate
structure’s ability to disseminate and support the
implementation of new strategies for business growth and
improvement”. This shows how well Tesla’s leadership
understands change and is conscientious of the key role that
communication plays.
The profitability and stocks of Tesla are extremely volatile, and
Tesla would discontinue to exist without investors believing in
them as a company and continuing to invest their money in the
company (Tesla, Inc., 2019). Tesla’s investors are very aware of
Tesla’s changes which is easy to see when seeing that Tesla has
posted their profit four times. Not only do the investors see the
changes, but they also are putting an investment in towards the
future of Tesla and what the company will look like after the
changes are in place.

Who are the agents of change within the organization?
Elon Musk- CEO and Technoking
Elon Musk is the main person who is the agent of change within
Tesla. He is the face, leader, and CEO of Tesla and is the agent
of change that affects where the company goes and how they
will get there. Elon Musk is one of the most world-renowned
entrepreneurs who founded SpaceX, Tesla, and PayPal
(Biography Editors, 2021).
Board of Directors and Leadership- Elon Musk, Robyn
Denholm, Larry Ellison, Hiro Mizuno, Kimbal Musk, Ira
Ehrenpreis, Antonio Gracias, James Murdoch, Kathleen Wilson-
Thompson, Zachary Kirkhorn, Jerome Guillen, and Andrew
Baglino
Other than Elon Musk, the board of directors are also agents of
change for the company. The board of directors is supposed to
represent the shareholder’s interests, hiring and firing of
personnel, dividend policies and payouts, and executive
compensation (Chen, 2020). Not just the CEO and Board of
Directors should be leading the company to new territories and
16. new ways of operating. The COO, Robyn Denholm, and the
CFO, Zachary Kirkhorn, must aid Elon Musk in his path for the
company but also add value to that path as well (Tesla, 2021).
CTO Larry Ellison, Senior Vice President Andrew Baglino,
Jerome Guillen, the entire board of directors, and lower level
managers must be agents of change that assist and add value to
where the company is going (Tesla, 2021).
The entire executive team must be willing and able to be agents
of change for Tesla because with the rising competition of
electric cars, if Tesla does not continue to grow and change
with the competition they will become obsolete as a company. If
they do not change then the blame will fall on the executive
team that was supposed to lead Tesla and be the agents of
change within the organization to avoid becoming obsolete and
unprofitable.
