This document contains instructions for 5 separate assignments related to ethics, diversity, and organizational culture. Assignment 1 asks students to analyze differences between ideas of philosophers like Rousseau, Locke and Hobbes and modern democracies. Assignment 2 involves responding to inappropriate workplace comments and discussing ethical and legal implications. Assignment 3 has students analyze alternatives and implications related to a case study on discrimination. Assignment 4 examines organizational culture and inclusion at Sherwood Manufacturing. Assignment 5 is researching diversity at different organizations and comparing their cultures.

Assignment 1
Select one of these three philosophers (Rousseau, Locke,
Hobbes) and write a 1 page paper in which you analyze the
significant ways in which their ideas differ from those at work
in modern democracies. What could we gain from following
their ideas more closely, and what might be dangerous if we did
so?
assignment 2
In the workplace, we may hear a statement, joke, or remark that
is unkind or inappropriate. Often the speaker might appear to do
so in a way that is not intended to offend, but comes from other
experiences or lack of awareness as to how they may be
received.
It is up to you as a manager to set the tone for how these
comments are countered in order to create an inclusive
environment.
Choose
one
of the statements below (clearly identify in your work which
statement you chose).
"We don't serve
those
people here." (Reference to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender clients)
"He should go back to his
own country."
(Reference to someone of a different race)
"She just slows us down." (Reference to a disabled worker)
"Why doesn't he retire already!" (Reference to an older
employer)
In a 2 page paper, suggest some ways in which you would
professionally respond if you heard the comment by your
subordinate in the employee lounge. Include how you might

approach the employee (immediately, privately etc.). Provide
specific comments that you might use in your discussion and
consider how the individual might defend their actions. What
further conversation might this lead to?
Explain the ethical and legal (if any) implications if statements
such as the one you chose would continue. What might be lost
in your workplace if the statements are allowed?
Include at least one resource you could use to help your
conversation. Identify whether there is a legal guideline to share
with your employee.
assignment 3
attached is the case
Review the Sherwood Manufacturing case again, and in a 2 page
paper include the following:
Provide two or more detailed alternatives (regarding Miranda
not being considered for the promotion) for Bob and Kelly to
consider. Compare and contrast the alternatives, identifying the
expected outcome of each.
What are the legal guidelines and ethical implications to
consider?
What form of discrimination (individual, structural, or
institutional), if any, do you believe is taking place at Sherwood
Manufacturing?
assignment 4
use the same attached paper for this one also
Review the Sherwood Manufacturing case again and consider
what you have learned about organizational cultures respecting
diversity. In a 2 page paper:
Describe the elements of an organizational culture and how it
might impact an organization to be considered inclusive.
Next, describe what you believe Sherwood's organizational
culture is currently.
Finally, consider what you believe would be an "ideal" inclusive
organizational culture for Sherwood. Be specific and include as

many aspects of the culture as possible.
Include what steps could be taken by Sherwood to meet this
ideal culture.
Be creative as you apply what you have studied is important in
order to demonstrate your understanding of how organizational
culture can enhance a workforce's goal of inclusivity.
Additional research is required for this assignment.
assignmet 5
Research two or more organizations' corporate websites and
examine their organizational culture in regards to diversity. In a
2 page, APA formatted paper, compare and contrast these
organizations and identify several strengths and weaknesses of
each. From your analysis determine which you believe to be the
more inclusive culture and why.

Paper Instructions You are to research and write a 5-8 page paper (excluding title page and reference pages) on one of the topics listed below. The paper should incorporate references to the course material and a minimum of 6 scholarly sources. The paper should be typed, double spaced using APA formatting, and attached as a file. Your writing should display knowledge, analysis, evaluation, and application of the material you have studied in the course. See the document called “Final Paper Expectations” for a breakdown of the structure and expectations. As you consider the topic you want to write about, ask yourself what supporting materials from the course, from your personal experiences, and from your researched resources you could bring together to bring the topic to life. Topics to select from are: Consider how Martin Buber’s theory of communication plays out in the world. Take into consideration each of the three types of relationships (I-It, I-You, I-Thou). Abraham Maslow developed his theory of the “Hierarchy of Needs.” How do people use social media to meet their needs? Discuss your thoughts and the thoughts of the experts about the four types of attachment styles. Discuss the impact of the media on the development of gender identity. What are the impacts of long-distance relationships on interpersonal communication? Martin Luther King, Jr. (Quotable Quote) is quoted as saying, “It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.” What aspects of interpersonal communication apply to this sentiment? According to Anthony Robbins (Quotable Quote), “The quality of your life is the quality of your communication.” How so? Module 2 told us that “the self arises in communication with others.” Discuss. Before writing this paper, observe yourself for several days, and whenever you use “you” language, try to rephrase what you said or thought into “I” language. How does that change how you think and feel about what’s happening? How does it affect your interactions with others? Does it make a positive or negative impact? Describe your experiences and then relate your personal findings to what you find in your research. What labels that you dislike have been applied to you or to groups to which you belong? Explain how the labels affect you. Describe how your experiences relate to what you find in your research. Who is your prototype, or model, of a listener? Describe what the person does that makes her or him effective? Relate your description to research on listening. Discuss the differences between differential, assertive, and aggressive communication. Define and describe what makes a good friend. Describe the investments that are made, how trust, acceptance, and closeness are communicated. How does that compare to what experts say about friends and friendship? What makes for a successful romantic relationship? Compare your pers.

1.1 Devotion: Biblical Perspective ListenReadSpeaker webReader: Listen Focus Getting Started “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 (New International Version) So often, we are quick to judge our neighbors and others around us. Today's society has allowed us to forget what Christ has taught us: to love thy neighbor. Romans 12:2 is a blueprint that is set forth to show us how each one of us should transform our character and renew our mind. The biblical perspective recognizes the active opposition of a personal adversary. In the business world, we diversify ourselves with others from all walks of life, not knowing that God has placed each of us together for the common good. Thinking back on your workplace, how do you engage with others from other backgrounds? Do you place judgment on others? Do you reflect your views on social media and other blogging components? Is this right? Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to: Articulate the importance of integrating a Christian worldview with global business practice. Resources Bible Instructions Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade. Take time to reflect on Romans 12:2. Consider the following question: How does this verse impact you in matters of faith in the workplace? Post your answer in the discussion thread by the end of the workshop. ============================================================== 1.2 Discussion: Power Distance (Part A) Getting Started This is a two-week discussion. Your initial post is due by the end Workshop One. You will then engage in dialogue with your classmates in at least three discussion threads (one of which is your initial post) and will post a summary of your new knowledge for each of the three discussion threads. While your interactions are not due until the end of Workshop Two, you should be prepared to engage in the discussion throughout both workshops. For this discussion, you will watch a 10-minute video in which researcher Geert Hofstede explains “power distance,” which is one of six dimensions of national culture that were described in his formative research on culture. From the video and the accompanying PowerPoint presentation, you will discover: Definition of power distance How power distance transfers between generations within a society Differences between cultures characterized by large distance and small power distance The role of the perception of inequality and hierarchy in power distance Characteristics of power distance Components of the power distance index (PDI) Societal characteristics that can be correlated with the PDI Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to: Examine theoretical concepts in the exploration of globalization and c.

Unit 1 Module 1 - M1 Assignment 3Assignment 3 Views on Diver.docx

TakishaPeck109

Unit 1: Module 1 - M1 Assignment 3 Assignment 3: Views on Diversity Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years. To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an Informed Consent document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment. Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers: When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term? Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you? Do you think the majority of people in our culture: Respect cultural differences among groups of people. Show indifference to cultural differences. Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice. If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be? Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues: What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture? Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case. Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions? Submit your response to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox by Wednesday, July 22, 2015 . Your response should be at least two pages long. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Assignment 3 Grading Criteria Maximum Points Interviewed a cross-section of people and acquired the desired responses. 15 Summarized the respondent's attitude toward diversity in modern culture using appropriate terms and concepts. 25 Commented on whether the respondent believed diversity was associated with one particular race or ethnic group more so than others. 25 Provided contrasting views between the respondent's and your own views on the discussed subjects along with an explanation. 25 Wrote in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrated ethical sch.

Task Your task is to follow a conversation in society right now .docx

josies1

Task: Your task is to follow a conversation in society right now to which social movements and influential organizations are responding . "Following a conversation" means examining how different writers define and respond to similar issues, and listening/reading closely for moments where different writers connect, where they overlap, and where they conflict. It also means that you examine how different writers enter the conversation (which will require rhetorical analysis) and how those differences impact what they are trying to say. In order to make sure that your exploration considers differing points of view, we are going to ground your exploration in this unit by focusing on a social movement or an influential organization and an issue that is central to their cause. For example, you could look into conversations related to social movements like #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, March for Our Lives, or #MMIW. You could look at conversations in the news that involve influential organizations , like Planned Parenthood, the Red Cross, the ACLU, and RAICES. The project will ask you to read several sources about a topic that that group cares very much about, think about how different writers take different approaches to the topic, and then look at how the major organization or social movement you chose is responding to that same topic. The project will ask you to do four things: Summarize the specifics of the conversations that you are following, including the main topics/ideas being discussed, the modes being used throughout the conversation, and the context in which the conversation is taking place. Discuss the ethos/credibility and varying levels of expertise of groups/people taking part in the conversation, Analyze the ways in which your chosen social movement or organization uses writing and rhetoric to facilitate change Reflect on what you learned, including how this activity informs your understanding of research in a digital society. Importantly, this assignment is not a paper: you will complete this project as a series of 4 posts, culminating in a final project reflection. All 5 of these assignments will be collected into one project grade. Note: while each of these assignments might seem "small" on their own, and will appear separately in the modules, together they make up a paper/project grade and will significantly impact your grade. Therefore it is important that for each post you work to find the best sources you can find, and that you answer the questions on each assignment thoroughly. Also, please edit and revise your posts to the best of your ability, as the quality of your writing will also be graded. Each post will ask you to look for a different kind of text, each one centered around a social movement, and then the post instructions will give you specific questions to answer. All of the posts ask you to make specific references to the text you are analyzing. Please do not talk in broad terms abou.

Disccussion1 : After reading Schein, which categories are most useful for understanding your organization’s culture and why? Do you see evidence of multiple cultures within your organization? Why or why not? Discussion 2: In light of this week’s readings in Bolman and Deal, how do we know what political dynamics are healthy and productive, and which are unhealthy and unproductive? What principles should we use to discriminate? Discussion 3: Respond to the following: "There is no right or wrong culture. There are no right or wrong manifestations of culture. Culture is what it is. It is a-moral--without morality." Do you agree or disagree? Why? Give examples where appropriate--both from the cultures of foreign countries and of contemporary organizations. Discussion 4: In light of your reading of Patterson et al. (Chapters 5 and 6), discuss at least two concepts that you found particularly insightful and/or useful in an organizational setting. After listing a concept (via a quotation and/or paraphrase), explain and/or illustrate the concept in more detail and, more importantly, discuss its relevancy in one or more of your past or present organizational settings using concrete examples .

. The assignment is to write 2 essays of 2 pages each, for a total of 4 pages. Taking a Closer Look at Community: Our last few weeks of readings are focused on different ways of imagining community ties in our increasingly globalized world. These are communities that have global dimensions the readings in our final unit want us to take a closer look at: gender, social networks, political activists, university students, global supply chains. The assignment here is to choose one of the types of community we have looked at: Gender (Lorber, Devor, Blum, Tannen); Social Networks (Gladwell, Friedman); Political Activists (Gladwell, Friedman); University Students (Nathan); Global Supply Chains (Friedman). Choose 2 different articles from this list in order to explore the argument the article makes about how to understand the kind of community it is concerned with. For each article, you are to write a 2-page summary, focused on the argument the article makes for how we should understand the community it is looking at--and what ties it together. The summary should offer clear explanation of the community the article is looking at. It should also lay out a thorough analysis of the argument, take a look at some of the examples your source uses to better understand the limitations of the argument, and offer a summation of the evidence s/he uses to make his case about how to understand the community it is concerned with (mostly in the form of expert authorities). In other words, this is a summary of a specific community and its real-world complications, in order to best understand the author's argument regarding the community in all of its complexity and complications. So actually much of your attention should be devoted to looking at where the argument or the concerns it speaks to are more complicated than it might at first seem. The Elements of Summary: As you sit down to summarize your chosen community concept, you want to keep in mind that the main task is to prioritize what you feel to be the most important aspects for understanding the concept. That is the critical thinking aspect of the assignment; it involves making choices about what to include and why. That means you want to examine closely your author's priorities in setting up the key concern, looking at what s/he starts with, where s/he takes the discussion, and where s/he ends it. Certainly, the end of his/her discussion (the concluding remarks) will show us most clearly what s/he wants us to prioritize in engaging with the key concern. But tracking his/her discussion along the way can tell us more about why s/he goes that way and looking back at the introduction can help clarify what he thinks we should initially keep in mind as he sorts through his argument. What this also means is that you want to give some attention to when the author goes in surprising directions or shows us where his concerns or related terms don't work in expected ways. Definition: we have given a good deal of ...

What Can One Person Do Secondary Research Project Y.docx

philipnelson29183

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

Sociology of Mental Health Fall 2015 Exercise 2 Essay Ques.docx

lorileemcclatchie

Sociology of Mental Health Fall 2015 Exercise 2 Essay Questions: Please respond to THREE of the following questions in essays 1.5 to 2 pages long. 1) In Mad in America, Robert Whitaker argues that the treatment of mental illness is a “prism through which to view a society.” Put another way, he suggests, “Medical treatments for the severely mentally ill inevitably reflect the societal and philosophical values of the day (xv).” For this essay, please compare and contrast the dominant paradigm of mental illness treatment in two historical periods discussed in the book. You should consider: the underlying assumptions about the causes of mental illness; the prevailing treatment(s) of the day; how the mentally ill were regarded; and then describe what this tells us about that particular society at that particular time. 2) At the heart of Whitaker’s study is a question: Why do people with mental illness in the United States fare less well than people in poorer countries? Use Mad in America, as well as the other texts for our class, to address this question. Ask yourself, why might this be the case? What are the social, cultural and economic features of U.S. society that contribute to this situation? You may want to focus on the three or four most significant factors and explain how they all contribute to this situation. 3) Utilizing Karp’s “In Sickness and in Health” and one other reading from Voices from the Inside, compare and contrast caring for a family member with a physical illness to caring for a family member with a mental illness. In what ways are they similar, in what ways are they different? What accounts for the differences? What factors to social perceptions play? Do these differences matter, why or why not? Explain. 4) Karp and Sisson write, “I believe that one of the most important missions of sociology is to give voice…to the experiences of those whose voices and experiences would typically otherwise be blunted, marginalized…or simply ignored. If we want to understand how society works…we need particularly to listen well to the narratives of those who are too often powerless, marginalized, disenfranchised, and stigmatized (p. 4).” What do the narratives presented in Voices From the Inside tell us about how society works? Utilizing at least two selections from the book, please identify and discuss at least two different lessons these narratives tell us about how society works regarding mental health and illness. In general, the responses will be evaluated as follows: 1) Each response should be written in an essay format (introduction, body and conclusion-writing matters!). 2) Incorporation of specific examples from the relevant texts (you should demonstrate that you have a solid grasp of the material by drawing on the texts to support your claim, argument or analysis). If you pull an exact quote from one of our readings, you must include the author’s last name, year of publication and page number. For exam.

Prejudice, Stereotypes, and DiscriminationIn many cases, preju.docx

sarantatersall

Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Discrimination In many cases, prejudice stems from the unknown. As individuals, we tend to migrate toward those who may look like us, act like us, and think like us. As a result, it may be difficult for us to open our minds and embrace those whose values, beliefs, and overall sense of self differ from our own. For this assignment, compose a paper that is three to four pages in length. In your paper, discuss the impacts of prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination in the context of social psychology. Be sure to address the following points: 1. Define and describe the following terms: prejudice, stereotype, discrimination, and ingroup vs. outgroup. Based on your own experiences in the social world, can you relate to any of these terms? Do you identify with a particular term? Why or why not? 2. Examine the social, cognitive, and societal origins of prejudice and stereotypes. Be sure to include specific information regarding categorization, such as ingroup favoritism and the outgroup homogeneity effect, norms, competition for resources, and social inequalities. Of the categories presented, which do you think are the most significant in our society and in your particular community? 3. Analyze the influences that promote stereotyping, and offer strategies to reduce prejudice. What are the consequences of stereotyping and discrimination? Who does this behavior hurt, and in what ways does it hurt them? Are we inadvertently creating self-fulfilling prophecies in our society? If so, how can we take steps to improve attitudes, judgments, and behaviors? Your paper must include an introduction, a thesis statement, and a conclusion. Your completed assignment should be three to four pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), include a minimum of three references, and follow APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment. .

3 Lesson 7 Discussion Team 3: United States Business Leader, Laborer and Government Leader (president/legislative member) Part 1: Although you are all responsible for your own posts, I randomly separated the class into three groups (teams) to focus our discussions and ensure deeper participation into the specific country's perspective on NAFTA. Please follow the sequence below to stay organized with your research and contributions. POST YOUR SUBMISSION IN THE DISCUSSION BOARD ASSIGNED TO LESSON 7 (Not your team's board). Title your post - Your Country and your name Begin by reading chapters 14 and 15 of the textbook, and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Links to an external site.. Part 2: Then each complete an analysis using the following facts pattern: CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: Free trade among these nations have both pros and cons. Imagine that you represent the country assigned to you by your professor, and then speculate about both the positive and negative effects that NAFTA may have on the country you are assigned from the perspectives of the individuals listed (business leader, laborer, government); share your speculations with the class. Be sure to include the following in your post: 1. Provide information about the benefits of free trade to ALL countries involved (this can be a table) 2. From the perspectives of the country and parties I assigned you to: Discuss what the drawbacks are of free trade – provide specific examples supported by researchable data, 3. Respond to 2 classmates (1 person from your same team AND another person from another team From the perspective of the country and parties I assigned you to: Discuss what your predictions and recommendations are for the future of NAFTA. When replying to your classmates' posts: Read your classmate's post and reply to no less than two of your classmates and a question. Your question should be one of the following three types: · Clarification Based: This kind of question helps the writer by asking your peer to clarify points that you think could be more fully explained. · Evidence question - When a writer states something as fact rather than personal opinion, your peers argument is stronger if they cite evidence that the fact is true. Facts can be evidenced, in approximate order of strongest evidence to weakest, (1) by citing trustworthy data, (2) by citing the opinions of experts, (3) by citing repeatable personal experience, or (4) by citing common opinion. This kind of question helps the writer by asking for evidence if the student states something as fact but doesn't cite evidence. · Hypothetical question - This kind of question helps the writer by asking your peer to test their argument by applying it to a situation that you specify. Please note that a discussion is an exchange. Participate regularly and solicit feedback from your peers. Posts needing a response: Student 1: Stude.

Please do some research on Kickstarter. What does the company do? Is it successful? Why won't they go public? Have you or someone you know every used it? If so how and were you/they successful? Ethics Assessment 1 (Normative Theories) While working in the business office of a primary care medical facility, you come across records showing that one of your daughter's grade-school teachers has been prescribed antipsychotic medication for the control of schizophrenia. Although you have been told to respect patient confidentiality in the workplace, you fear the potential harm such a person could cause in a position of authority over children. Develop your position on this ethical issue. What would you do? Write a paper addressing this topic, supporting your position with credible research. In explaining your position, address each of the following questions: · What features of the situation are relevant for making a moral decision? · What would a deontologist like Immanuel Kant recommend? · What would a consequentialist like John Stuart Mill recommend? · How do you justify your own decision about what to do?Additional Requirements · Written communication:Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message. · APA formatting: Include a title page and a references page, formatted according to APA (6thedition) style and formatting. · References:A typical paper will include support from a minimum of 3–5 references. You should also include support from your independent research of scholarly or professional materials. · Length: A typical paper will be 4 typed, double-spaced pages in length. · Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point. Assignment 2 (Making a Moral Decision) For this assessment, you will invent a practical circumstance of your own choosing that illuminates differences among the three approaches to normative theory; a circumstance in which the duties, consequences, and virtues do not align with each other. It does not need to be a grand, controversial social issue; an everyday moral dilemma will make the conflict clearer. Just look for an example where doing your duty might cause lasting harm, or where caring about people requires breaking the rules. Write a paper addressing this topic, supporting your statements with credible research on the three approaches to normative theory. You are also expected to conduct your own independent research into the scholarly and professional resources of the field. Begin by describing a concrete situation that calls for someone to make an ethical decision about what to do. Choosing your example carefully will make it easier to draw an interesting contrast between the theoretical applications. Be sure to describe the situation with enough detail to provide adequate information for arriving at a responsible choice. You are welcome to choose a case in which you are personally involved, but you may find it easier to think objectively with a little detachment. Next, .
