Check Box1: OffText6: Text15: I will conduct a thorough literature review to determine if there is prior work in this field.
Then I will look for any related past data which can help me further proving if there are such phenomena existing in many other Asian countries.
If so, I will compare how mass media was presented before DPP (Taiwan independent party) took over the government and after.
In here I will count in Education as one of the main platform/sources of mass media Text16: At the end of the thesis I will have a evaluation of my finding,
Hopefully by looking at both of the past data plus the finding from my online surveys.
I will be able to find out some patterns that proves dynamic collectivistic behaviour or society is existing in Taiwan under certain forms
Nevertheless, just by looking at the past data plus my own research findings. It does not represent the entire society. moreover, there are difficulties of getting as many participants as possible due to the corona pandemic
Therefore, I will also give recommendations and improvements for action
Text35: 1. Does highly competitive environment enhance Dynamic Collectivism in Taiwan
2. How is this phenomena be manifested and accelerated?
Text13: Asian countries are inherited by the Confucianism beliefs which strongly influence on Asian cultures.
It shapes our values, norms, mindset and behaviour.
Collectivistic culture is the representative manifestation of our society. People who put group interest or consider themselves as a group. harmony within the community is the backbone and priority.
However, in recent years, there are many studies showing in certain situation and circumstances, such collectivistic behaviour might be undermined by a more individualistic one.
From my three years of studies plus my Asian background, I interpret collectivism is a.

Types of Research (250 words) 1 scholarly source read the presentation and chapter 1 reading below:
After completing the readings and reviewing the media piece assigned for Unit 1, discuss the ways in which Action Research relates to other forms of research? How is it similar? How is it different?
Collaborative Inquiry: Participatory Action
In this presentation, you will learn more about some specific types of projects in action research. This will provide fertile ground to plant your own possible dissertation concepts and topics to grow and tend over the coming quarters!
Remember – action research must include the participants as part of the solution development, and it must be community based, no matter how broad or large that community might be. Finally, action for social change must occur.
Four typical types of action research:
Diagnostic
– needs assessment or causal analysis (What is causing homelessness in our county?)
Prescriptive
– best program or policy to solve an identified community problem (Which type of housing would best serve the homeless population?)
Implementation
– accomplishes program goals outside of data collection (How can we strengthen ties within our community so that the homeless are not invisible?)
Evaluation
– assesses program impacts (How effective is this program to provide free medical and dental care in meeting the needs of the homeless?)
Any of these examples could be action research, and in some cases, a project may include more than one of these types. Diagnostic and prescriptive are the most common and the ones most often combined.
Most common partners: nonprofit organizations or community-based organizations, so cross-sector collaborations are a key factor. (Intersection of public sector/government, nonprofits/community organizations, and individuals with interests in this topic, plus the researcher.)
Typical ways to link action and research – through outcomes:
Organizing
– helping the participants organize for social change
Advocacy
– advocating for social change with the participants
Most of the time, the outcome in action research is mislabeled as simple reporting – written report, oral presentations, websites on the project, education models. None of these reporting features in and of themselves empower the participants, a key trait of action research.
If the participants only put a report on a shelf, social change has not occurred. Outcomes must be stated clearly.
Partners for action research may include:
Community based organizations
Community residents (individuals)
Coalition groups
Grass roots constituents/special interest constituents
Nonprofit organizations
Educational institutions at all levels
Government agencies
Stages are accomplished with participants, not solely prepared by the researcher:
Defining the research question
Developing the research method
Gathering the data
Analyzing the data
Reporting and acting on the research results/solutions

Ethics of Case Studies Based on Human Dignity_Crimson PublishersCrimsonPublishersAICS
Ethics plays a major role in upholding Human Dignity in any field of research and
development. Case studies are not exceptional to it. Most of the researchers follow the Belmont
Report on guiding principles in Research Ethics with reference to Justice, Beneficence and
Autonomy. Ethics Committees were established Internationally (IRB) and every country in
every field of human welfare have their own ethical committees. Most of us will be familiar
with Medical Ethics Committees or Clinical Ethics Committees and their functions.
Learning Activity #1Using the company you selected for the.docxsmile790243
Learning Activity #1
Using the company you selected for the Week 3 Learning Activity (Southwest Airlines or Subway), it is now time to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats you uncovered and determine what strategy is best suited based on the outcome of the IFE and EFE.
Discuss which generic business-level strategy is best suited to keep the company you selected competitive. Offer supporting rationale for your explanation and be sure to reference your statements using proper APA formatting
Southwest
The business-level strategies are based on competitive advantage (cost and uniqueness) and scope of operations (broad target and narrow target). These decisions occurred from: cost leadership, differentiation, focused cost leadership, and focused differentiation. Southwest is the focused cost leadership because of the cost and narrow target.
Southwest uses one type of aircraft the Boeing 737 and not only has rewards card, but also has low cost flights and include two bags free. Using only one type of aircraft is cost effective for maintenance costs and fuel. The routes that Southwest chooses to use are high consumer demand and they have quick turnaround time which allows them to be in the air more than their competitors. This allows them to keep the maintenance cost low and helps increase profit margin growth.

Learning Activity #2
For the company chosen above, select one of the strategy formulation analytic tools and complete based on the information gathered in the Week 3 Learning Activities; the tools to select from are:
Space Matrix
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix
IE Matrix
Once you have completed the tool discuss the outcome in terms of what strategic direction the selected company should take and why. As always, offer supporting rationale for your explanation and be sure to reference your statement using proper APA formatting.
Southwest
I used the Internal-External Matrix (IE). The IE matrix is used to analyze strategic position of a business and working conditions. My EFE score was 1.33 and my IFE score was 1.49. The point falls under cell IX which is characterized with harvest or exit strategy. I thought it would fall under grow and build strategy. The harvest or exit strategy should have Southwest to revitalize their business. I thought Southwest would fall under grow and build because it has had strong growth over the last 35 years. They provide point-to-point operational strategy, low-cost, passenger friendly with great staff. Even though other airlines have flounder, Southwest has been able to continue to grow and remain profitable.

Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply t.docxkhenry4
Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to your own life and identify relevant scholarly sources that will help you with your application of concepts.
As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don't talk.
Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media.
We have learned how a society's culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren't impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority.
Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society's culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impa.

Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta.docxwilcockiris
Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. As the chief information officer, it has been her duty to assemble a team of healthcare information professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules.
How did Barbara and her team orchestrate moving forward toward HIPAA Privacy compliance? First, she established a steering committee responsible for HIPAA Privacy planning. The committee focused on three broad areas of development, including:
education;
assessment; and
development of policies and procedures.
The steering committee recognizes that the scope of this project is quite vast and that it encompasses many different areas of the facility. The scope involves not just hospital information systems, but the operations of many departments and manual processes. These varied items are included in the scope of assessment and are found to be the biggest challenge. Developing HIPAA compliant policies and procedures is not a one-time activity as changes are constant. Development and continuous updating will mean that this project is one that will be an ongoing effort.
Part of Peachtree Community Hospital’s key to success has been pulling together the right combination of professionals. The result is a multidisciplinary team which will include the HIM services director and the CCO (chief compliance officer).
Barbara has garnered the following information from experts in the area of HIPAA Privacy Rules who have suggested that healthcare organizations consider the following steps to become compliant:
Inventory the organization’s data as the first step in policy implementation.
Read the Federal Register information on HIPAA.
Focus on HIPAA as a business process issue.
Secure the support of top management and the active involvement and participation of staff in all affected areas.
Thoroughly review outside vendor contracts to ensure compliance with business associate agreements.
Appoint a dedicated staff to the HIPAA privacy initiative.
Preparing for HIPAA compliance will require a complex and thorough evaluation and realignment of business and operational processes.
Your Role/Assignment
You have been consulted by CIO Barbara Silva as the healthcare information systems expert. You will be working directly with the director of HIM services. As a consultant, you have vast experience with HIPAA implementations. Your expertise will be required in several areas.
K E Y P L A Y E R S
Barbara Silva, CIO
As the chief information officer, Barbara will assemble a team of healthcare professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules. She must ensure that Peachtree is in full compliance with HIPAA regulations for every aspect of the organization
–
not just hospital information systems, but also the operations of related departments and manual processes. Her concerns encompass a large scope of the project, and she will need to identify key people to become involved in this project.

BARGAIN CITY Your career is moving along faster than you e.docxwilcockiris
BARGAIN CITY
Your career is moving along faster than you expected. You thought that your expertise in Information
systems would result in an initial break-in period as a programmer for Bargain City, a retail chain modeled
along the lines of Wal-Mart. But the resignation of three systems analysts changed all that. The analysts
left to form their own consulting firm.
Knowing that you had a strong dose of systems analysis in college, your boss, Alisa Ernst, decided to let
you begin as a systems analyst. It didn't take her long to give you your first assignment. Alisa made
arrangements for you to visit an area store for the purpose of becoming familiar with activity at the store
level. She expects you to prepare a written report that might serve as the basis for future systems
projects.
You arrive at the West Alameda store at 9 A.M., and you are amazed at how many people are already
shopping. The lot is full, and you have to wait ten minutes-it seems like thirty--to get a parking place.
Inside, the conditions are no better. The store is huge, with fifteen checkout counters, but only four are
open. Each of the four, one of which is the express lane, has a long line of shoppers waiting to check out.
It's a good thing that you are not buying anything. Since you are only conducting a systems study, you will
be able to get out sooner.
You watch the action--or inaction--for a while and then wander back to the storeroom where three stock
clerks are opening boxes. You hear one of them say, "Have you found it yet?" Curious, you introduce
yourself and ask what they are looking for. One of the clerks tells you that the store has a special on
cookout items but ran out of charcoal starter fluid. The truck that was supposed to bring additional stock
broke down in Tuba City. The lack of starter fluid is one reason the lines up front are so long; the
checkout clerks are having to give out rain checks. You can understand why the stock clerks are having
such difficulty; the storeroom is a real mess. Boxes are stacked everywhere. There seems to be no rhyme
or reason to anything.
You ask where the store computer is, and you are directed to a small room in the corner. There it is,
humming away. Automation in action.
With a good grasp of the backroom operation, you return to the front for the purpose of checking out the
office. There's a big line there as well--people waiting to cash checks and return purchases. Most of the
returns seem to be glassware items that the customers found to be broken when they opened their
shopping bags at home. The sackers had not packed the items properly.
When you finally reach the head of the line, you are surprised to learn that the cashier is really the store
manager. He asks you to come back when he has more time. He explains that he had to "let a lot of
people go" in order to stay within the budget that headquarters imposed. You can tell by the way he
snarls his explanation that he is not ver.
Barbara schedules a meeting with a core group of clinic managers. T.docxwilcockiris
Barbara schedules a meeting with a core group of clinic managers. The purpose of the meeting is to review the strategic plan and to gather additional feedback from the managers. Barbara is aware of the importance of diversity within the organization. Diversity and inclusion is particularly important because of the population served by UCCO facilities. However, she realizes during the meeting that there may be some issues with diversity and culture. Furthermore, how diversity and culture impact team performance. Several managers made comments regarding distribution of work and employee perspectives based on stereotypes. She also found out that there are many personality conflicts and issues with subordination. Barbara encountered the conflict and degradation comments, first-hand during the meeting.
Visit the Rasmussen online Library and search for a minimum of 3 articles covering diversity and culture and teamwork.
For this project assignment on UCCO complete a minimum of a 3 page report to address management of change with strategic planning and with the following concepts:
What is the role of executives in the process of change management and strategic planning? How do issues with diversity and culture relate to change management?
Why is diversity inclusion important? What are the benefits? Specifically address UCCO purpose for diversity.
Discuss how working with others can help with respect for diversity and respect for diverse perspectives.
What are the challenges and benefits of employing a diverse workforce?
What should Barbara's plan be for encouraging teamwork among a diverse workforce and ensuring that employees make meaningful and valuable contributions to team projects and tasks. Incorporate Barbara's personal experience with the team of clinic managers.
Remember to integrate citations accurately and appropriately for all resource types; use attribution (credit) as a method to avoid plagiarism. Use NoodleBib to document your sources and to complete your APA formatted reference page and in-text citations.

Unmasking the Prevailing Culprits in The Present-Day Education System
In pursuit of a holistic, critically provoking, meaningful, and educational oriented environment where teachers are free to teach, and learners are free to think, and the disappointing reality continues to present itself from every dimension. The faults in the current education system are critically unmasked by Mark Edmundson and Paulo Freire in their two invaluable pieces of articles. A careful analysis of the ideas tabled by the two influential education thinkers illustrates numerous underlying commonalities in their works as well as some overlooked ideas in their arguments. The fact that their central ideas in their respective scholarly works revolve around unmasking the true culprits in the present-day education implies that, if Edmundson and Freire were able to converse with each other, they would both agree on the need to change the current education system and build it around critical thinking. It’s to this end that this paper seeks to synthesize their ideas in an attempt to identify common grounds, differences as well the areas they both overlooked.
Looking at the prevailing schooling system in America as well as the ways through which learners are carrying out their studies, the perception of the two education thinkers is of great heed to the whole education system. Deeply entrenched into the Edmundson and Freire respective pieces of literature is the overarching conspiracy and oppression theme where the established, who is this case is the teacher among other the education leaders seek to contain, manipulate, and control the thoughts of the learners. As acknowledged by Freire, “Teachers either work for the liberation of the people- their humanization- or for their domestication, their dominance” (p.243). As a result of this domination and hierarchical relationship, the only knowledge that the learners in the prevailing education system receive are from the teachers, an aspect that dehumanizes the students as they do not get the chance to develop their own knowledge or even challenge the one received from the teachers. The oppression and domination ideology as presented by Freire cast invaluable light on the need for both teachers and students to embrace an “authentic” approach to education which grants them some chance to be aware of their respective incompleteness and eventually strive to be fully human (Freire 244). In a bid to rethink Freire’s oppression implication, as a college student one ought to act as a co-creator of knowledge at the expense of posing as an empty vessel waiting to be filled by the college professor or instructor.
Similarly, Edmundson acknowledges the presence of oppression in thinking and learning approaches in the contemporary schools, but from a different angle from the one used by Freire. While Freire profoundly argues that students are highly dehumanized a.

A broad, general problem seen throughout the country is the integration of online course work into the public-school classroom. Technology is integrated into all levels of education: pre-K, elementary, secondary, and higher education (Leggatt, 2016). It began with a modest inclusion of videos or allowing students to research using school-provided laptops or tablets. This was the simple way of using technology. Now that technology is more accessible and affordable, districts are providing students with digital devices to use in and out of schools, allowing them to utilize their phones, and requiring them to complete coursework online outside of the classroom (Hohlfeld, Ritzhaupt, Dawson, & Wilson,.

Learning Activity #1Using the company you selected for the.docxsmile790243
Learning Activity #1
Using the company you selected for the Week 3 Learning Activity (Southwest Airlines or Subway), it is now time to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats you uncovered and determine what strategy is best suited based on the outcome of the IFE and EFE.
Discuss which generic business-level strategy is best suited to keep the company you selected competitive. Offer supporting rationale for your explanation and be sure to reference your statements using proper APA formatting
Southwest
The business-level strategies are based on competitive advantage (cost and uniqueness) and scope of operations (broad target and narrow target). These decisions occurred from: cost leadership, differentiation, focused cost leadership, and focused differentiation. Southwest is the focused cost leadership because of the cost and narrow target.
Southwest uses one type of aircraft the Boeing 737 and not only has rewards card, but also has low cost flights and include two bags free. Using only one type of aircraft is cost effective for maintenance costs and fuel. The routes that Southwest chooses to use are high consumer demand and they have quick turnaround time which allows them to be in the air more than their competitors. This allows them to keep the maintenance cost low and helps increase profit margin growth.

Learning Activity #2
For the company chosen above, select one of the strategy formulation analytic tools and complete based on the information gathered in the Week 3 Learning Activities; the tools to select from are:
Space Matrix
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix
IE Matrix
Once you have completed the tool discuss the outcome in terms of what strategic direction the selected company should take and why. As always, offer supporting rationale for your explanation and be sure to reference your statement using proper APA formatting.
Southwest
I used the Internal-External Matrix (IE). The IE matrix is used to analyze strategic position of a business and working conditions. My EFE score was 1.33 and my IFE score was 1.49. The point falls under cell IX which is characterized with harvest or exit strategy. I thought it would fall under grow and build strategy. The harvest or exit strategy should have Southwest to revitalize their business. I thought Southwest would fall under grow and build because it has had strong growth over the last 35 years. They provide point-to-point operational strategy, low-cost, passenger friendly with great staff. Even though other airlines have flounder, Southwest has been able to continue to grow and remain profitable.

Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to your own life and identify relevant scholarly sources that will help you with your application of concepts.
As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don't talk.
Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media.
We have learned how a society's culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren't impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority.
Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society's culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impa.

Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta.docxwilcockiris
Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. As the chief information officer, it has been her duty to assemble a team of healthcare information professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules.
How did Barbara and her team orchestrate moving forward toward HIPAA Privacy compliance? First, she established a steering committee responsible for HIPAA Privacy planning. The committee focused on three broad areas of development, including:
education;
assessment; and
development of policies and procedures.
The steering committee recognizes that the scope of this project is quite vast and that it encompasses many different areas of the facility. The scope involves not just hospital information systems, but the operations of many departments and manual processes. These varied items are included in the scope of assessment and are found to be the biggest challenge. Developing HIPAA compliant policies and procedures is not a one-time activity as changes are constant. Development and continuous updating will mean that this project is one that will be an ongoing effort.
Part of Peachtree Community Hospital’s key to success has been pulling together the right combination of professionals. The result is a multidisciplinary team which will include the HIM services director and the CCO (chief compliance officer).
Barbara has garnered the following information from experts in the area of HIPAA Privacy Rules who have suggested that healthcare organizations consider the following steps to become compliant:
Inventory the organization’s data as the first step in policy implementation.
Read the Federal Register information on HIPAA.
Focus on HIPAA as a business process issue.
Secure the support of top management and the active involvement and participation of staff in all affected areas.
Thoroughly review outside vendor contracts to ensure compliance with business associate agreements.
Appoint a dedicated staff to the HIPAA privacy initiative.
Preparing for HIPAA compliance will require a complex and thorough evaluation and realignment of business and operational processes.
Your Role/Assignment
You have been consulted by CIO Barbara Silva as the healthcare information systems expert. You will be working directly with the director of HIM services. As a consultant, you have vast experience with HIPAA implementations. Your expertise will be required in several areas.

BARGAIN CITY Your career is moving along faster than you e.docxwilcockiris
BARGAIN CITY
Your career is moving along faster than you expected. You thought that your expertise in Information
systems would result in an initial break-in period as a programmer for Bargain City, a retail chain modeled
along the lines of Wal-Mart. But the resignation of three systems analysts changed all that. The analysts
left to form their own consulting firm.
Knowing that you had a strong dose of systems analysis in college, your boss, Alisa Ernst, decided to let
you begin as a systems analyst. It didn't take her long to give you your first assignment. Alisa made
arrangements for you to visit an area store for the purpose of becoming familiar with activity at the store
level. She expects you to prepare a written report that might serve as the basis for future systems
projects.
You arrive at the West Alameda store at 9 A.M., and you are amazed at how many people are already
shopping. The lot is full, and you have to wait ten minutes-it seems like thirty--to get a parking place.
Inside, the conditions are no better. The store is huge, with fifteen checkout counters, but only four are
open. Each of the four, one of which is the express lane, has a long line of shoppers waiting to check out.
It's a good thing that you are not buying anything. Since you are only conducting a systems study, you will
be able to get out sooner.
You watch the action--or inaction--for a while and then wander back to the storeroom where three stock
clerks are opening boxes. You hear one of them say, "Have you found it yet?" Curious, you introduce
yourself and ask what they are looking for. One of the clerks tells you that the store has a special on
cookout items but ran out of charcoal starter fluid. The truck that was supposed to bring additional stock
broke down in Tuba City. The lack of starter fluid is one reason the lines up front are so long; the
checkout clerks are having to give out rain checks. You can understand why the stock clerks are having
such difficulty; the storeroom is a real mess. Boxes are stacked everywhere. There seems to be no rhyme
or reason to anything.
You ask where the store computer is, and you are directed to a small room in the corner. There it is,
humming away. Automation in action.
With a good grasp of the backroom operation, you return to the front for the purpose of checking out the
office. There's a big line there as well--people waiting to cash checks and return purchases. Most of the
returns seem to be glassware items that the customers found to be broken when they opened their
shopping bags at home. The sackers had not packed the items properly.
When you finally reach the head of the line, you are surprised to learn that the cashier is really the store
manager. He asks you to come back when he has more time. He explains that he had to "let a lot of
people go" in order to stay within the budget that headquarters imposed. You can tell by the way he
snarls his explanation that he is not ver.

What is the role of executives in the process of change management and strategic planning? How do issues with diversity and culture relate to change management?
Why is diversity inclusion important? What are the benefits? Specifically address UCCO purpose for diversity.
Discuss how working with others can help with respect for diversity and respect for diverse perspectives.
What are the challenges and benefits of employing a diverse workforce?
What should Barbara's plan be for encouraging teamwork among a diverse workforce and ensuring that employees make meaningful and valuable contributions to team projects and tasks. Incorporate Barbara's personal experience with the team of clinic managers.

Unmasking the Prevailing Culprits in The Present-Day Education System
In pursuit of a holistic, critically provoking, meaningful, and educational oriented environment where teachers are free to teach, and learners are free to think, and the disappointing reality continues to present itself from every dimension. The faults in the current education system are critically unmasked by Mark Edmundson and Paulo Freire in their two invaluable pieces of articles. A careful analysis of the ideas tabled by the two influential education thinkers illustrates numerous underlying commonalities in their works as well as some overlooked ideas in their arguments. The fact that their central ideas in their respective scholarly works revolve around unmasking the true culprits in the present-day education implies that, if Edmundson and Freire were able to converse with each other, they would both agree on the need to change the current education system and build it around critical thinking. It’s to this end that this paper seeks to synthesize their ideas in an attempt to identify common grounds, differences as well the areas they both overlooked.
Looking at the prevailing schooling system in America as well as the ways through which learners are carrying out their studies, the perception of the two education thinkers is of great heed to the whole education system. Deeply entrenched into the Edmundson and Freire respective pieces of literature is the overarching conspiracy and oppression theme where the established, who is this case is the teacher among other the education leaders seek to contain, manipulate, and control the thoughts of the learners. As acknowledged by Freire, “Teachers either work for the liberation of the people- their humanization- or for their domestication, their dominance” (p.243). As a result of this domination and hierarchical relationship, the only knowledge that the learners in the prevailing education system receive are from the teachers, an aspect that dehumanizes the students as they do not get the chance to develop their own knowledge or even challenge the one received from the teachers. The oppression and domination ideology as presented by Freire cast invaluable light on the need for both teachers and students to embrace an “authentic” approach to education which grants them some chance to be aware of their respective incompleteness and eventually strive to be fully human (Freire 244). In a bid to rethink Freire’s oppression implication, as a college student one ought to act as a co-creator of knowledge at the expense of posing as an empty vessel waiting to be filled by the college professor or instructor.
Similarly, Edmundson acknowledges the presence of oppression in thinking and learning approaches in the contemporary schools, but from a different angle from the one used by Freire. While Freire profoundly argues that students are highly dehumanized a.

A broad, general problem seen throughout the country is the integration of online course work into the public-school classroom. Technology is integrated into all levels of education: pre-K, elementary, secondary, and higher education (Leggatt, 2016). It began with a modest inclusion of videos or allowing students to research using school-provided laptops or tablets. This was the simple way of using technology. Now that technology is more accessible and affordable, districts are providing students with digital devices to use in and out of schools, allowing them to utilize their phones, and requiring them to complete coursework online outside of the classroom (Hohlfeld, Ritzhaupt, Dawson, & Wilson,.

Barbara and Judi entered into a contract with Linda, which provided that they open a jewelry store in Fullerton. Linda is obligated to supply all jewelry in accordance with a specified price list. Linda also agreed that she would not personally compete or supply another retail merchant, either directly or indirectly, within the City of Fullerton.
Linda, in order to give the necessary credit to Barbara and Judi, required that Joanne act as a guarantor. Barbara and Judi have been very successful, making substantial profits each month.
After one year's time, Barbara, who also has an additional job as a legal secretary, requires an extended vacation. Judi is fully in agreement. While Barbara is on her vacation, Linda sells jewelry to three additional retailers, all of whom, in the space of one week, open competitive shops in Fullerton. Linda's agreement with the new retailers is to provide inventory to the new stores at a substantially reduced cost, permitting them to sell retail at rates far below Judi and Barbara's cost. In one month's time, Judi closes the business and, unknown to Barbara, files suit in Federal District Court, alleging breach of contract on Linda's part and further alleging that she only has been damaged. Barbara returns from her extended vacation one month after the suit is filed and files a motion to intervene under Rule 24. Linda files a motion under Rule 19, alleging that Barbara should be joined as a party. Joanne, who lives in Nevada, learns of the lawsuit and asks her attorney to file a motion to intervene under Rule 24. Linda, in the requisite time, files her answer and files a motion under Rule 14 to implead the Rhodesian Diamond Company, her supplier and with whom she has a contract which required that she increase her sales and open new offices or lose her contract.
Assume proper jurisdiction of the subject matter, parties and venue. Discuss all civil procedure issues and give proper argument concerning motions made by Linda, Joanne and Barbara.

1. Proposed Legislation
Effective: July 14, 2018
KRS § 403.270
403.270 Custodial issues; best interests of child shall determine; rebuttable presumption that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in child’s best interests; de facto custodian
Currentness
(1) (a) As used in this chapter and KRS 405.020, unless the context requires otherwise, “de facto custodian” means a person who has been shown by clear and convincing evidence to have been the primary caregiver for, and financial supporter of, a child who has resided with the person for a period of six (6) months or more if the child is under three (3) years of age and for a period of one (1) year or more if the child is three (3) years of age or older or has been placed by the Department for Community Based Services. Any period of time after a legal proceeding has been commenced by a parent seeking to regain custody of the child shall not be included in determining whether the child has resided with the person for the required minimum period.
(b) A person shall not be a de facto custodian until a court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the person meets the definition of de facto custodian established in paragraph (a) of this subsection. Once a court determines that a person meets the definition of de facto custodian, the court shall give the person the same standing in custody matters that is given to each parent under this section and KRS 403.280, 403.340, 403.350, 403.822, and 405.020.
(2) The court shall determine custody in accordance with the best interests of the child and equal consideration shall be given to each parent and to any de facto custodian. Subject to KRS 403.315, there shall be a presumption, rebuttable by a preponderance of evidence, that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in the best interest of the child. If a deviation from equal parenting time is warranted, the court shall construct a parenting time schedule which maximizes the time each parent or de facto custodian has with the child and is consistent with ensuring the child's welfare. The court shall consider all relevant factors including:
(a) The wishes of the child's parent or parents, and any de facto custodian, as to his or her custody;
(b) The wishes of the child as to his or her custodian, with due consideration given to the influence a parent or de facto custodian may have over the child's wishes;
(c) The interaction and interrelationship of the child with his or her parent or parents, his or her siblings, and any other person who may significantly affect the child's best interests;
(d) The motivation of the adults participating in the custody proceeding;
(e) The child's adjustment and continuing proximity to his or her home, school, and community;
(f) The mental and physical health of all in.

BalanchineGeorge Balanchine is an important figure in the histor.docxwilcockiris
Balanchine
George Balanchine is an important figure in the history of ballet as he was a major exponent of ballet in the US. He established the first school of American ballet in NYC with Lincoln Kirstein in 1934. Balanchine’s style has been called Neoclassical and the success of his NYC Ballet has spawned many regional companies in the US, including Miami City Ballet, keeping his repertory alive. Balanchine brought a new aesthetic to ballet, stripping away its sentimentality and bringing attention to the movement rather than the spectacle. He brought quick footwork, precision and musicality to classical ballet technique. He collaborated extensively with the composer Stravinsky. His work with the Ballet Russe in the early 20th century exposed Balanchine to the most prominent musical composers and visual artists of the period (i.e. Picasso, Matisse, etc.) which influenced his experimentation with abstraction in the form.
Ballet continues to evolve today. Traditional classical ballets such as Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake are still performed today with the addition of more contemporary interpretations of the form. Some examples of contemporary ballet:
Modern Dance
Modern dance began as a departure from the restrictions of ballet and a desire to express a wider palette of the human experience. It emphasized the expression of emotion, the exploration of dynamics in the body and presented narratives in a more abstract manner. Some modern dance pioneers eventually developed their own codification and/or process for working. The postmodern dancers rejected codification of any kind as well as known methods for composition. They valued personal movement, innovative forms of performance and preferred abstraction over story telling.
Pioneers of Modern Dance
Isadora Duncan 1877-1927, believed movement should be drawn from nature and was inspired by Ancient Greece, wearing long toga-like robes in her performances. The Duncan technique was comprised of movements such as hopping, swinging, running, skipping and leaping; her desire was to free the body from the confines of ballet.
Ruth St Denis 1878-1968, was inspired by the dances of Asia, in addition to other culturally based forms. She is well known for her grand spectacles, creating a formal school/company. Her husband Ted Shawn was also a pioneer in modern dance who created an all male dance company in addition to performing with Ruth. Martha Graham was a student Ruth St. Denis and later became a member of her company.
Mary Wigman 1886-1973, was a German dancer/choreographer inspired by Expressionism, an artistic movement that emphasized raw emotions. She was a student of Rudolf Laban. In her famous Witch Dance, she went against traditional norms of female beauty in dance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtLSSuFlJ5c
Rudolf Laban 1879-1958, is sometimes referred to as the father of German modern dance; he developed a system for notating dance called Labanotation in addition to developin.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

It shapes our values, norms, mindset and behaviour.
Collectivistic culture is the representative manifestation of our
society. People who put group interest or consider themselves
as a group. harmony within the community is the backbone and
priority.
However, in recent years, there are many studies showing in
certain situation and circumstances, such collectivistic
behaviour might be undermined by a more individualistic one.
From my three years of studies plus my Asian background, I
interpret collectivism is another of individualism if a
group/community is considered as oneself. having said that,
4. this kind of collectivism shares similar characteristics as
individualism.
And there are many cases out there in Asian world showing
such existence.
South Korea (Dynamic Collectivism)
Japan (In-group, Out-group behaviour)
China (One Child Policy Impact, Younger Generation usually
has more individualistic mindset in certain areas)
Especially due to the outbreak of corona pandemic, I see in
Asian world, people are showing more individualistic behaviour
in terms of putting their own interest above group interest)

Clearly, as a human service provider, you will encounter
situations in which you are confronted by an ethical dilemma.
The situation may include if and when to disclose confidential
information without a client’s consent (e.g., a suicidal client) or
the ethics of limiting a client’s right to self-determination (e.g.,
when involuntary hospitalization is required) or even the
appropriateness of engaging in nonprofessional relationships
with a former client. These ethical dilemmas are difficult to
resolve, because by one definition, that of Kitchener as cited in
Shiles (2009), an ethical dilemma occurs when “there are good
but contradictory ethical reasons to take conflicting and
incompatible courses of action” (p. 43). As such, the ethical
dilemmas we encounter are by definition often subtle and
always, by definition, without a singular clear path to
resolution. Consider the findings of one study assessing 450
members of the American Psychological Association’s Division
29 (Psychotherapy) by Pope, Tabachnick, & Keith-Spiegel
(1987). Of the 83 separate behaviors the members were asked to
8. rate according to ethicality, very few—for example, having sex
with a client or breaking confidentiality if clients are suicidal or
homicidal—were clear-cut. Most of the 83 fell in what the
authors termed “gray areas” between being ethical and
unethical. Such data highlights the difficulty one experiences
when faced with an ethical dilemma and the need for a sound
model of ethical decision-making. Ethical Decision-Making: A
Range of Models Life—at least our professional lives—would
be easier if all practice decisions and ethical dilemmas were
black or white. As should now be evident, the ethical nature of
our practice decisions are most often colored in many shades of
gray, and thus the path to follow is not always clear. For some,
the goal is to follow the ethical codes from a mandatory
perspective and thus be true to the letter of the law. While this
is a basic level of ethical functioning and may serve to protect
the human service provider to avoid legal trouble, this should
not be the main focus of our ethical choices. We are called to
embrace our ethics on an aspirational level. For one embracing
aspirational ethics, the goal is not self-protection but rather
client welfare. While it is our duty, our responsibility, to
understand and embrace our codes of ethics (i.e., mandatory
ethics ), the execution of these codes in practice demands that
we engage in self-reflection and the employment of a decision-
making process that results in what is best for each of our
clients (i.e., aspirational ethics ). Reliance on one’s “gut-
feelings” or intuition, in the absence of reflection on that which
is both mandatory and aspirational, presents an ethical problem
in itself, given the greater risk to the public (Welfel, 2010). In
complex situations, the American Counseling Association’s
(ACA) Ethics Committee, for example, recommends that
counselors explore professionally accepted decision-making
models and choose the model most applicable to their situation
(Kocet, 2006). This position has even been codified in the ACA
Code of Ethics where it is noted: “When counselors are faced
with an ethical dilemma, they use and document, as appropriate,
an ethical decision making model … ” (ACA, 2014, Code I.1.b).
9. While there is no one specific ethical decision-making model
that has been identified as most effective and globally
embraced, it is important, as noted by the ACA (2014, p. 3), for
practitioners to be familiar with a credible model of decision-
making. To this end, numerous authors have offered models for
ethical decision-making, a sampling of which is offered in the
next section. Each model offers a unique perspective or lens
through which to view practice decisions and ethical dilemmas
and as such are worthwhile, considering as each may reflect
your style of practice and/or the context in which you work.
Ethical Justification Model Kitchener (1984) has provided what
some feel is the foundation for ethical decision-making (see
Sheperis, Henning, & Kocet, [2016]). In fact, many of the
ethical decision models use Kitchener’s virtues as a springboard
for their development (Urofsky, Engels, & Engerbretson, 2008).
Kitchener (1984) was aware of the then existing limitations to
ethical codes and thus directed psychologists to consider the
fundamental ethical principles that not only serve as the
foundation for professional codes but provide a conceptual
vocabulary for analyzing ethical issues when direction is less
than clear. Kitchener invited practitioners to employ the values
of autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, fidelity, and justice
(see Chapter 3 ) as reference points when making ethical
decisions. From this perspective, clinicians would ensure that
their decisions not only treated each client equally given equal
circumstances (justice) but also supported client freedom to
choose (autonomy). Further, based on these principles, a
practitioner’s ethical decisions would be made in a way that not
only avoided harming the client (nonmaleficence) but promoted
help and health (beneficence). For example, while having a
sexual relationship with a client is clearly unethical, the
question of ethics when applied to other nonsexual, multiple-
role relationships with former clients may be less obvious
(Anderson & Kitchener, 1998). In these situations, the codes
may not be clear and directive. Kitchener (1984) would suggest
that clinicians allow their concern about not undoing
10. therapeutic gains (i.e., nonmaleficence) along with their desire
to refrain from affecting client self-determination (i.e.,
autonomy) to guide their decision to engage or not to engage in
these nonsexual, multirole relationships. To further clarify this
perspective, we invite you to engage in Exercise 7.1, applying
foundational values. When exploring an ethical dilemma,
reflection on these moral values or principles may offer insight
into the path best chosen. However, it has been suggested (e.g.,
Forester-Miller and Davis, 1996) that in complicated cases the
employment of a step-wise decision-making model may be
useful.
Step 1: Identify the problem articulating the ethical concern.
During this step, the practitioner needs to gather information
that sheds light on the depth and breadth of the situation. The
authors suggest that the practitioner consider questions such as,
is this an ethical, legal, professional, or clinical problem or
perhaps some combination? Is the issue a reflection of me, the
client, others in the client’s life, and/or the system in which I
work? Answering these questions helps focus the targets for
resolution. Step 2: Apply the ACA Code of Ethics. While
developed for use by counselors and thus the reference to ACA
Code of Ethics , this decision-making process could be
employed by all mental health professionals by making
reference to the appropriate professional standard and code at
this step in the process. It is important to review the codes in
order to identify all standards that may apply to the situation. If
the codes do not provide clear and direct insight into the path of
resolution, additional steps of the decision-making process will
be necessary. Step 3: Determine the nature and dimensions of
the dilemma , noting the scope of the issue engaging the current
professional literature, colleagues, and even professional
associations to ensure the most current perspective on this type
of problem is incorporated. Step 4 : Generate a possible course
of action that could result in resolution. During this step, be
creative; brainstorm in order to develop the widest possible
11. selection of options. Step 5: Consider the potential
consequences of all options. It is important to identify all
possible implications of each course of actions as it may impact
the client, others, and even yourself. Identify the option or
combination of options that best serve the situation. Step 6:
Evaluate the selected course of action. At this step, it is
especially important to be sure that the path selected will not
create additional ethical concerns. Step 7: Implement the course
of action . Once the pathway has been selected and
implemented, it is important to assess to ensure that the desired
impact or outcomes were achieved. The employment of such a

Ethical Case Scenario #3
Earlier in the year Brittany graduated with her human services-
related degree that had a concentration in intercultural studies.
She and her husband moved to a mid-Western city that has had a
recent influx of Burmese refugees who settled in the area. Soon
after moving she secured a job at a local organization where she
would be able to apply her knowledge from her recent studies.
This organization recently began working with the Burmese
refugees for needed services, and Brittany worked with one
particular Burmese family who was so appreciative of her help,
they offered her what some would see as a generous gift;
however, her organization has a strict policy against receiving
gifts from clients for received services wherein one can be
released from employment for doing so. As part of her studies,
12. Brittany learned that it may not be appropriate to accept gifts
from others for human-services work; however, she also learned
in her intercultural classes that when a gift is offered from
certain Asian populations, it is considered a very high honor but
refusing a gift can also mean an equally high insult.
Based on the above scenario, answer each numbered item below
with at least ½ page response for each question that is double-
spaced. Use this document and type your answers below each
question and submit to Blackboard when completed.
1. What do you see as the ethical dilemma(s) in this specific
ethical case scenario? As part of your response, include what
you see is happening that leads you to see them as ethical
dilemma(s). (Share as many dilemmas that you see based on
what is noted in the case. It might help to think of the layers
related to the case.)
2. Referencing the NOHS Ethical Standards for Human
Professionals, what are three codes that could apply to this
scenario? As part of your response, include code themes, and
share how they could apply to the scenario. (NOTE: Do not use
codes selected in prior case studies. Select different but
applicable codes for this scenario.)
3. Imagine that you are Brittany in the above scenario. What
would be your initial reaction to this situation? How do you
think you would proceed in such a situation?
4. Using proper citation format for a direct quote, share one
direct quote from the ethics textbook for this course that could
relate to the above scenario, and share why you think this quote
is pertinent. (Reference not required, and response does not
have to be ½ page.)

cultural convergence, divergence, and
crossvergence
Chun Guo
The convergence–divergence–crossvergence
debate provides different viewpoints of how
attitudes, behaviors, and values of individ-
uals in organizations across cultures change
15. over time. Convergence theory states that
the common logic of industrialism generates
economic and technological imperatives, which
allow the adoption of common organizational
structures and the development of similar rela-
tionships between the firm and its environment
(customers, competitors, and government)
(Webber, 1969). Convergence theory suggests
that as societies become industrialized, individ-
uals will embrace values, attitudes and behaviors
similar to those common in industrialized,
capitalistic Western countries. The converging
process will not be influenced by national culture
and the resulting business structures will remain
largely culture-free (e.g., Hickson et al., 1974).
The advocates of divergence theory (e.g.,
Hofstede, 1980) take the opposite view and
argue that organizations are culture-bound
and will remain so regardless of technological,
economic, and political influences. Divergence
theory states that the interpersonal aspects of
management, management philosophy, as well
as business practices will diverge and that indi-
viduals from a society will retain their specific
value systems, attitudes, and behaviors through
time (Webber, 1969).
Crossvergence theory advocates that the
dynamic interaction of sociocultural influences
and business ideology influences can shape the
value system among individuals in a society
in such a way that a unique value system will
emerge (Ralston, 2008; Ralston et al., 1993;
Ralston et al., 1997). This unique value system
is different from the values supported by either
16. national culture or economic ideology and
hence are not “in-between” the parent cultures
(Ralston et al., 1993) but “something different”
(Ralston et al., 1997). Ralston (2008) further
proposed the tri-faceted typology of crossver-
gence, including (i) conforming crossvergence,
the situation in which individual-level values
differences across groups (e.g., societies, regions,
generations) would decrease over time; (ii) static
crossvergence, the situation where value differ-
ences across groups would remain unchanged;
and (iii) deviating crossvergence, the situation
where value differences across group would
increase over time.
