Description:
Business Best: Bill Daniels’s Principle-Based Ethics
Bill Daniels was a business leader who followed his principles and values throughout his career. Most know of Bill Daniels as a pioneer in cable television, starting with his first cable business in Casper, Wyoming in 1953. Bill went on to own and operate hundreds of cable TV systems across the country. He founded Daniels & Associates, a nationally recognized provider of investment banking services to media and technology companies. His leadership helped bring numerous high-tech and communications companies to Colorado.
Bill attributed adoption of ethical principles to his experiences with sports coaches while attending high school at the New Mexico Military Institute. He strove to build a reputation of integrity. The following story demonstrates Bill’s principle-based moral reasoning in action.
In 1952, Bill opened a small insurance agency in Casper, Wyoming, and struggled to make it over the next three years. Then in 1955, one of the insurance companies he represented went broke, leaving the policyholders high and dry. Bill stepped in for his client, feeling that he had represented the terms and his integrity was at stake. As he explained:
“Two weeks after the bankruptcy, Burlington Railroad sued one of my clients—to whom I had sold a liability policy—for $12,500. A judgment was entered against my client for $11,000. I made a deal with Burlington Railroad to pay this judgment off at $500 per month, over a 22-month period. I did not have to do this, but I had a strong conviction that I owed this to my insured who had placed his faith in my handling of his insurance business. During this time, the $500 payment was more than I was making per month. I managed, however, through ...

Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources Sou.docx
Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources
Source type What is it? Examples Best used for
Scholarly
A source written by scholars or academics in a
field. The purpose of many scholarly sources is
to report on original research or
experimentation in order to make such
information available to the rest of the
scholarly community. The audience for
scholarly sources is other scholars or experts
in a field. Scholarly sources include references
and usually use language that is technical or at
a high reading level.
*Note: Different databases may define
“scholarly” in slightly different ways, and thus
a source that is considered “scholarly” in one
database may not be considered “scholarly” in
another database. The final decision about
the appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
Scholarly Journals
• Journal of Management Information
Systems
• American Journal of Public Health
• Early Childhood Research Quarterly
Scholarly Books (published by a university
press or other high-quality publisher)
• Shari’a Politics: Islamic Law and
Society in the Modern World
• The Grand Design: Strategy and the
U.S. Civil War
• The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise:
Molecules That Move Us
Journal articles:
• Recent research on a topic
• Very specific topics or narrow
fields of research
• NOT good for an introduction to
or broad overview of a topic
Books:
• In-depth information and research
on a topic
• Putting a topic into context
• Historical information on a topic
Peer Reviewed
A publication that has gone through an official
editorial process that involves review and
approval by the author’s peers (experts in the
same subject area). Many (but not all)
scholarly publications are peer reviewed.
*Note: even though a journal is peer reviewed,
some types of articles within that journal may
not be peer reviewed. These might include
editorials or book reviews.
**Note: some publications (such as some
trade journals) can be peer reviewed but not
scholarly. This is not common.
See “Scholarly Journals” above
Books go through a different editorial process
and are not usually considered to be “peer
reviewed”. However, they can still be
excellent scholarly sources.
See above
Credible
A source that can be trusted to contain
accurate information that is backed up by
evidence or can be verified in other trusted
sources. Many types of sources can fall into
this category.
*Note: The final decision about the
appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
See above. Also:
• Newspapers
• Magazines
• Books
• Trade journals or publications
• Government websites
• Websites from educational
institutions (like universities)
• Websites or other publications from
reputable organizations (like the Mayo
Clinic)
• Encyclopedias (general or subject)

HR Performance Issues and MotivationThe relationship between the o.docx
HR Performance Issues and Motivation
The relationship between the organization and its members can be greatly influenced by what motivates individuals to work. The style of leadership, job design, resources on the job, and environment can all have a significant effect on the satisfaction of employees and their performance. Performance is also influenced by individual motivations (e.g., social, recognition, financial reward, personal growth and development, and/or intrinsic satisfaction) and can equally impact the organization. There are many theories that attempt to explain the nature of motivation. Write a four- to five-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages) evaluating the relationship between motivation, job satisfaction, and work performance. Be sure to address the following:
Describe a performance issue which resulted from a motivational problem (what, why, who).
Use a content theory of motivation (e.g., Maslow, Alderfer, Herzberg, or McClelland) or a process theory (i.e., Adams, Locke, or Heider and Kelley) to explain how the issue creates a performance problem for the organization.
Use the theory of motivation you selected to describe an intervention/action to change the motivation/behavior and correct the performance problem.
Your paper must use a minimum of three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook. Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center..

For this Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about John A.docx
For this Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about "John Adams" as well as any event in U.S. history that is relevant to your major area of study or of interest to you. You will write about John Adams from the perspective of another historical personality who lived at the same time as the person or event you are going to describe.
For your historical personality, try to select someone from an under-represented population (examples of possible perspectives include that of Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, or Sojourner Truth). This analysis is to make you think about how events/people’s actions were interpreted at the time.
Key Points::
Remember that you will be writing from the perspective of a historical person about another person or an event from a period of U.S. history up to Reconstruction. From your historical person’s perspective, provide a thorough summary of the person or event you’ve chosen to write about, including the incidents that took place and any key individuals involved or affected.
Address the general importance of the person or event in the context of U.S. history.
Now, explain specifically how the person or event changed “your” daily life—“you” being the historical persona you have adopted.
Think long-term: How will the person or the event you are describing make a long-term impact in the lives of people who are in the under-represented group to which your historical person/perspective belongs?
Paper Requirements:
Your paper must be four to six pages, not including the required references and title pages.
Use at least five sources, not including the textbook. Include a scholarly journal article. Include at least one
primary
source from those identified in the syllabus.
Definition of a Primary Source
: A primary source is any source, document or artifact that was created at the time of the event. It was usually created by someone who witnessed the event, lived during or even shortly afterwards, or somehow would have first-hand knowledge of that event. A secondary source, by contrast, is written by a historian or someone writing about the event after it happened.
Have an introduction and strong thesis statement. Make use of support and examples supporting your thesis
Finish with a forceful conclusion reiterating your main idea.
Format your paper according to the
CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
(Links to an external site.)

Description:
Business Best: Bill Daniels’s Principle-Based Ethics
Bill Daniels was a business leader who followed his principles and values throughout his career. Most know of Bill Daniels as a pioneer in cable television, starting with his first cable business in Casper, Wyoming in 1953. Bill went on to own and operate hundreds of cable TV systems across the country. He founded Daniels & Associates, a nationally recognized provider of investment banking services to media and technology companies. His leadership helped bring numerous high-tech and communications companies to Colorado.
Bill attributed adoption of ethical principles to his experiences with sports coaches while attending high school at the New Mexico Military Institute. He strove to build a reputation of integrity. The following story demonstrates Bill’s principle-based moral reasoning in action.
In 1952, Bill opened a small insurance agency in Casper, Wyoming, and struggled to make it over the next three years. Then in 1955, one of the insurance companies he represented went broke, leaving the policyholders high and dry. Bill stepped in for his client, feeling that he had represented the terms and his integrity was at stake. As he explained:
“Two weeks after the bankruptcy, Burlington Railroad sued one of my clients—to whom I had sold a liability policy—for $12,500. A judgment was entered against my client for $11,000. I made a deal with Burlington Railroad to pay this judgment off at $500 per month, over a 22-month period. I did not have to do this, but I had a strong conviction that I owed this to my insured who had placed his faith in my handling of his insurance business. During this time, the $500 payment was more than I was making per month. I managed, however, through ...

Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources Sou.docx
Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources
Source type What is it? Examples Best used for
Scholarly
A source written by scholars or academics in a
field. The purpose of many scholarly sources is
to report on original research or
experimentation in order to make such
information available to the rest of the
scholarly community. The audience for
scholarly sources is other scholars or experts
in a field. Scholarly sources include references
and usually use language that is technical or at
a high reading level.
*Note: Different databases may define
“scholarly” in slightly different ways, and thus
a source that is considered “scholarly” in one
database may not be considered “scholarly” in
another database. The final decision about
the appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
Scholarly Journals
• Journal of Management Information
Systems
• American Journal of Public Health
• Early Childhood Research Quarterly
Scholarly Books (published by a university
press or other high-quality publisher)
• Shari’a Politics: Islamic Law and
Society in the Modern World
• The Grand Design: Strategy and the
U.S. Civil War
• The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise:
Molecules That Move Us
Journal articles:
• Recent research on a topic
• Very specific topics or narrow
fields of research
• NOT good for an introduction to
or broad overview of a topic
Books:
• In-depth information and research
on a topic
• Putting a topic into context
• Historical information on a topic
Peer Reviewed
A publication that has gone through an official
editorial process that involves review and
approval by the author’s peers (experts in the
same subject area). Many (but not all)
scholarly publications are peer reviewed.
*Note: even though a journal is peer reviewed,
some types of articles within that journal may
not be peer reviewed. These might include
editorials or book reviews.
**Note: some publications (such as some
trade journals) can be peer reviewed but not
scholarly. This is not common.
See “Scholarly Journals” above
Books go through a different editorial process
and are not usually considered to be “peer
reviewed”. However, they can still be
excellent scholarly sources.
See above
Credible
A source that can be trusted to contain
accurate information that is backed up by
evidence or can be verified in other trusted
sources. Many types of sources can fall into
this category.
*Note: The final decision about the
appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
See above. Also:
• Newspapers
• Magazines
• Books
• Trade journals or publications
• Government websites
• Websites from educational
institutions (like universities)
• Websites or other publications from
reputable organizations (like the Mayo
Clinic)
• Encyclopedias (general or subject)

HR Performance Issues and Motivation
The relationship between the organization and its members can be greatly influenced by what motivates individuals to work. The style of leadership, job design, resources on the job, and environment can all have a significant effect on the satisfaction of employees and their performance. Performance is also influenced by individual motivations (e.g., social, recognition, financial reward, personal growth and development, and/or intrinsic satisfaction) and can equally impact the organization.

For this Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about John A.docx
For this Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about "John Adams" as well as any event in U.S. history that is relevant to your major area of study or of interest to you. You will write about John Adams from the perspective of another historical personality who lived at the same time as the person or event you are going to describe.
For your historical personality, try to select someone from an under-represented population (examples of possible perspectives include that of Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, or Sojourner Truth). This analysis is to make you think about how events/people’s actions were interpreted at the time.
Key Points::
Remember that you will be writing from the perspective of a historical person about another person or an event from a period of U.S. history up to Reconstruction. From your historical person’s perspective, provide a thorough summary of the person or event you’ve chosen to write about, including the incidents that took place and any key individuals involved or affected.
Address the general importance of the person or event in the context of U.S. history.
Now, explain specifically how the person or event changed “your” daily life—“you” being the historical persona you have adopted.
Think long-term: How will the person or the event you are describing make a long-term impact in the lives of people who are in the under-represented group to which your historical person/perspective belongs?
Paper Requirements:
Your paper must be four to six pages, not including the required references and title pages.
Use at least five sources, not including the textbook. Include a scholarly journal article. Include at least one
primary
source from those identified in the syllabus.
Definition of a Primary Source
: A primary source is any source, document or artifact that was created at the time of the event. It was usually created by someone who witnessed the event, lived during or even shortly afterwards, or somehow would have first-hand knowledge of that event. A secondary source, by contrast, is written by a historian or someone writing about the event after it happened.
Have an introduction and strong thesis statement. Make use of support and examples supporting your thesis
Finish with a forceful conclusion reiterating your main idea.
Format your paper according to the
CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
(Links to an external site.)

For this paper choose two mythological narratives that we have examined so far in this course, or that you are otherwise personally familiar with. The two myths that you choose should have one or more elements in common, possibly including (but not limited to):
Overarching story (e.g., creation, flood) or story elements (e.g., descent into the underworld, establishment of divine rulership, rapture of mortals by gods, divine disguise)
Narrative structure (e.g., repetitive patterns, discursion)
Themes (e.g., love, jealousy, mortality, revenge, mutability/transformation, limits of human power/knowledge)
Characters (e.g., tricksters)
Cultural functions (e.g., reinforcement of societal norms, explanation of origins of society, explanation of natural phenomena, incorporation in ritual practices, entertainment)
Compare and contrast the two myths you choose, taking into consideration the various elements noted above and any others you deem relevant. (In making comparisons, you do not necessarily need to apply the specifically "comparativist" approach discussed in the course as one historical strand of mythological analysis.)
While you are welcome to reference external sources, this is not a research paper and the use of secondary sources is not required or expected. If you choose to examine a myth not discussed in the course, however, please indicate the source from which you have taken this.

1. Some common stereotypes that coincide with the LGBTQ community are promiscuous, non-religious, flamboyant, mentally ill, high sex drives, etc.
2. The media plays a role in establishing these stereotypes because the general public is always watching these shows, reading the news, and listening to stories about different cultures and groups and media that they may not see or interact with in their lives. Therefore, media is an outlet to show these things in a easy way to gain knowledge about people without meeting people face-to-face apart of these groups when sometimes the stereotypes shown can't represent everyone in those groups.
3. Currently, in Marvel's Runaways, that ended in December, there are two lesbian superheros that share a kiss at the end of a season. Karolina, one of the characters, wants to get away from her childhood of religious upbringing and wants to pursue her own life with her superpower of glowing colors. Nico is shown with a Gothic appearance and can be seen as aggressive but down to earth as well. The War at Home was a television show on Fox and a character named Kenny, who is sixteen years old, is kicked out of his house by his parents after finding out he is gay.
a. There are some differences in the characters as Karolina is more flamboyant and colorful, compared to Nico who is goth and likes to remain strictly to business. Kenny is quiet most of the time about his life, especially about his gay crush until his p.

On many occasions they’ve overheard him whispering in an agitated voice, even though there is no one nearby. Lately, he has refused to answer or make calls on his cell phone, claiming that if he does it will activate a deadly chip that was implanted in his brain by evil aliens. His parents have tried to get him to go with them to a psychiatrist for an evaluation, but he refuses. He has accused them on several occasions of conspiring with the aliens to have him killed so they can remove his brain and put it inside one of their own. He has stopped attended classes altogether. He is now so far behind in his coursework that he will fail if something doesn’t change very soon. Although Martin occasionally has a few beers with his friends, he’s never been known to abuse alcohol or use drugs. He does, however, have an estranged aunt who has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals over the years due to erratic and bizarre behavior.
The Psychological disorder is: SCHIZOPHRENIA

For this assignment, you will discuss how you see the Design Principles used in a 2D print. You can select a 2D print from your home, workplace, or use the CSU Art Appreciation LibGuide to find a print in an online museum. Take a photograph of the print or save an image of the print, and include it in the worksheet.In Unit II, our assignment was to describe an artwork using the Visual Elements. We can think of the Design Principles as a way that the artist organized the Visual Elements. Instead of focusing on the small parts of the artwork (like line, shape, and mass) the Design Principles look at the whole artwork and how all the elements work together. Provide a detailed description of the design principles in your 2D print, using full and complete sentences. For Design Principles, make sure you describe how the artist used the ones in Chapter 5: unity and variety, balance, emphasis, repetition and rhythm, and scale and proportion. Questions to consider are included below:
Unity: what elements work together to make a harmonious whole?
Variety: What creates diversity?
Balance: Is it symmetrical or asymmetrical?
Emphasis: What is the focal point?
Repetition and rhythm: Is an element repeated?
Scale and proportion: Are the objects in proportion to each other?
Be sure to describe exactly where in the artwork you see each Principle. You'll want to describe each artwork using the terms we learned in this unit's reading. Remember to write in complete sentences and use proper grammar.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.
