Due processRight to have a just cause substantialRight to .docxsagarlesley
Due process:
Right to have a just cause: substantial
Right to a hearing, etc.: procedural
Whistleblowing:
As an employee I have a duty to be loyal to the employer, i.e. help the employer be successful.
Some people think that it is always wrong to blow the whistle, because it is disloyal.
If we are allowed to blow the whistle, then we need to justify that decision.
Michael Davis: he thinks that we can justify whistle-blowing
Ronald Duska: whistle-blowing is not a moral issue as such, we have a right to reveal any information we like.
Davis:
Standard theory: it is supposed to reflect what most people consider as whistle-blowing and what they find is justifiable to do.
Consequentialist: the consequences count.
Required/permissible whistle-blowing:
It is permissible if we have tried everything to solve the issue, but we cannot say for sure that there is a threat: permissible.
Required, it is our duty to blow the whistle: we can ascertain objectively that there is a threat and it is possible that we can prevent the harm.
The theory is based on a cost-benefit analysis: what happens to the whistle-blower himself/herself is also relevant to consider.
The paradigm case of whistle-blowing: Boisjoly case, 0-rings:
Test the standard theory:
Paradox 1: the whistleblower does not consider the harm he may do to himself.
Paradox 2: prevention of harm is not relevant, because the accident had already happened.
Paradox 3: failure. It is not relevant if we prevent any harm.
Complicity theory: Davis’s attempt to improve our theory of whistle-blowing.
Complicity theory: non-consequentialist, what is morally relevant to discuss is if we contribute to any wrong-doing or not. If we do, then we should blow the whistle. If we don’t, then we should not.
1st condition: what you reveal derives from your work
2nd condition: voluntary member
3rd condition: the organization has to be legitimate, a criminal organ. Cannot be considered legitimate
4th condition: you contribute to the wrong-doing, unless you blow the whistle.
The paradigm case of whistle-blowing: the Boisjoly case
We avoid the paradox of burden: Boisjoly did not consider the consequences for himself
We avoid the paradox of preventing harm: it is not what should be considered
The paradox of missing the point of moral action: sometimes we are responsible even if we do not cause the problem.
Duska: business is all about profits, the shareholder theory.
There is no loyalty in the business world:
1st reason: it is about profits
2nd reason: you can only be loyal to individuals, not to abstract entities.
Individualism: loyalty is a relationship between individuals independent of profits considerations
Holism: rejected
Conclusion: whistle-blowing is not a moral issue, because we do not owe anybody loyalty in business.

2nd reason: you can only be loyal to individuals, not to abstract entities.
Individualism: loyalty is a relationship between individuals independent of profits considerations
Holism: rejected
Conclusion: whistle-blowing is not a moral issue, because we do not owe anybody loyalty in business.

Before 1918, approximately
60%
of the wolves in the New Mexico and Arizona region were male, and
40%
were female. However, cattle ranchers in this area have made a determined effort to exterminate wolves. From 1918 to the present, approximately
70%
of wolves in the region are male, and
30%
are female. Biologists suspect that male wolves are more likely than females to return to an area where the population has been greatly reduced. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
What is the probability that
8
or more were female?

Becoming a ManagerElaine has worked in the IMCU of a communi.docxgarnerangelika
Becoming a Manager
Elaine has worked in the IMCU of a community hospital for 11 years. She is one of the best nurses, and serves as a preceptor and a resource for other nurses on the unit. Elaine has made numerous contributions to the unit. She has presented training classes, in-services, and booklets. Elaine has been the day shift charge nurse for 5 years.
In January, the unit manager decided to retire. The IMCU manager position was posted. A very unpopular nurse from another unit bid on the position, as well as a nurse from another hospital. The staff has approached Elaine, imploring her to bid for the job. They tell her she will be a terrific manager, and they all love her. Elaine is very happy with her job, but she knows that things will change with a new manager.
After serious deliberation, Elaine bids on the position. Her qualifications are undisputable, and she is offered the position. She is warned, however, that her relationship with her co-workers will not be the same. She has long been a leader, but she must now see herself as a manager. Try to imagine that you are Elaine:
What steps will you take to initiate this change?
How will you establish your new position with the staff?
What type of management/leadership style would you employ?
How do the “Cores of Credibility” apply to your new role?
Your response should consist of complete sentences and should be at least one complete paragraph, but it should be no more than three paragraphs in length.
Post your individual responses by the end of the day on Friday of Module 2.
Read the postings of other students, and thoughtfully respond to at least two other student postings by end of the day on Sunday of Module 2.

The McDonald’s ‘Beef Fries’ Controversy
“Hindus and vegetarians all over the world feel shocked and betrayed by McDonald's deception
and ultimate greed.”
- Attorney Harish Bharti, on filing the lawsuit against McDonald’s, in May 2001.
“These are the ways the fries are made in the US, and we don’t have any plans to change.”
- Walt Riker, McDonald’s spokesperson, in May 2001.
A CONTROVERSY ERUPTS
In May 2001, a class action lawsuit
1
was filed against the world‘s largest fast-food chain
McDonald‘s, in Seattle, US. The lawsuit alleged that the company had, for over a decade, duped
vegetarian customers into eating French fries
2
that contained beef extracts. The lawsuit followed a
spate of media reports detailing how the French fries served at McDonald‘s were falsely promoted
as being ‗100% vegetarian.‘
Although McDonald‘s initially declined to comment on the issue, the company issued a
‗conditional apology,‘ admitting to using beef flavoring in the fries. The furore over the matter
seemed to be settling down, when to McDonald‘s horror, some of its restaurants in India were
vandalized. Activists of Hindu fundamentalist groups – the Shiv Sena, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad
(VHP) and the Bajrang Dal, staged a demonstration in front of the McDonald‘s head office in
Delhi protesting the alleged use of beef flavouring. They submitted a memorandum to the Prime
Minister, demanding the closure of all McDonald‘s outlets in the country.
Activists also staged protests in front of McDonald‘s restaurants in south Mumbai and Thane.
Mobs ransacked the outlet at Thane, broke the glass panes and smeared the McDonald‘s mascot
Ronald with cow dung. About 30 people were arrested and later let off on bail. Company officials
estimated the loss to the outlet at Rs 2 million.
Officials at McDonald‘s India quickly announced that the vegetarian products served in India did
not have any non-vegetarian content (Refer Exhibit I for details). However, despite this
reassurance, the anti-McDonald‘s wave refused to die down.
Meanwhile, more cases were being filed against McDonald‘s – t.

Choose one literary text that we have read so far (by Hesse, Muñoz Ryan, or Taylor) and explain how reading it in tandem with one of these other textual or audio-visual sources (the Winsor article, the 1959 Declaration,
Fear and Learning at Hoover Elementary

Because of the difficulties that expatriates face, some firms have b.docxgarnerangelika
Because of the difficulties that expatriates face, some firms have begun a policy of “inpatriation” (a concept discussed further in the Debate section of chapter 13), whereby they relocate foreigners to the host country, with the expectation that after a period of time, they will replace expatriates. While this provides the MNE with a source of workers who do not face cultural obstacles, some significant problems remain. First, inpatriates, who are paid the going rate in the MNE’s home country, are often disappointed or upset when they go to the host country, where salaries are much lower. Second, many inpatriates are ineffective because of their ambiguous position. While the headquarters views inpatriates as “us” because of their time in the home country, other HCNs also view them as “us” because of their common ethnicity.
1.Given the pros and cons of expatriation and inpatriation, which do you feel is more effective for MNEs? Would certain situation call for one strategy over another? What could an MNE do to alleviate some of the difficulties of inpatriation?
2.
MNEs operate in multiple locations, negotiating through a complicated web of formal and informal institutions that are different from country to country. An MNE is successful, in part, because of its ability to work within a complex network of laws and values to create a global, cross-cultural entity. The question is could labor unions do the same? While union presence is strong in some countries, it is nearly absent in others, so that workers in those countries have relative little protection from potentially unfair actions. What is the feasibility of establishing a global (or semiglobal) labor union to cover these countries? How would they overcome institutional obstacles presented by governments and by MNEs? What would be the pros and cons of such a movement?

Because Eileen Dover, the CEO of Good For You! Bakery, began her.docxgarnerangelika
Because Eileen Dover, the CEO of Good For You! Bakery, began her business with limited background in data architecture, some historical data that was saved in legacy systems is in bad shape. For example, sales date information was entered haphazardly, in different formats; sometimes sales amounts included a dollar sign and cents to the right of the decimal, and sometimes they didn’t; and the alphanumeric code she initially used to designate products is confusing to her new managers.
Ms. Dover wants to ensure that she can move data from her legacy system to SAS®. She had one of her new IT people produce a pipe-delimited data file in .txt format. He was not able to do much data validation/cleaning on his end, and Ms. Dover wants to know if this crucial step can be completed in SAS®. She wants you to do the following:
Import the legacy data file (

) into SAS®. (Note that if you look at the .txt file using a text editing program such as Notepad, you can see anomalies in the data; for example, dates and dollar amounts are represented in different formats.)
Create a report that:
Lists sales, by month, with subtotals and a grand total
Interprets all dates correctly and displays them in the same format
Interprets all dollar values correctly and displays them in the format $99
Add comments to the SAS® code to explain what each section of the code does, so that your team can apply similar to logic to cleaning/validating other data files.

Beauty, Effort, and Misrepresentation HowBeauty Work Affect.docxgarnerangelika
Beauty, Effort, and Misrepresentation: How
Beauty Work Affects Judgments of Moral
Character and Consumer Preferences
ADRIANA SAMPER
LINYUN W. YANG
MICHELLE E. DANIELS
Women engage in a variety of beauty practices, or “beauty work,” to enhance their
physical appearance, such as applying cosmetics, tanning, or exercising. Although
the rewards of physical attractiveness are well documented, perceptions of both the
women who engage in efforts to enhance their appearance and the high-effort
beauty products marketed to them are not well understood. Across seven studies,
we demonstrate that consumers judge women who engage in certain types of ex-
tensive beauty work as possessing poorer moral character. These judgments occur
only for effortful beauty work perceived as transformative (significantly altering ap-
pearance) and transient (lasting a relatively short time), such that they emerge
within cosmetics and tanning, yet not skincare or exercise. This effect is mediated
by the perception that putting high effort into one’s appearance signals a willingness
to misrepresent one’s true self, and translates into lower purchase intentions for
higher-effort cosmetics. We identify several boundary conditions, including the at-
tractiveness of the woman performing the beauty work and whether the effort is at-
tributed to external norms or causes. In examining how beauty work elicits moral
judgments, we also shed light on why effortful cosmetic use is viewed negatively,
yet effortful products continue to be commercially successful.
Keywords: aesthetics, beauty, beauty work, effort, cosmetics, moral judgments,

T hroughout history, women have gone to great lengthsto enhance their physical appearance. Queen Elizabeth I inspired a generation of women to coat theirfaces with lead to achieve the perfect pale complexion, and
Victorian ladies removed their ribs to whittle down their
waists (Corson 1972/2003). While modern beauty rituals
may be less extreme, we continue to see consumers engage
in extensive “beauty work,” defined as the beauty practices
people perform on themselves to elicit certain benefits
within a social hierarchy (Kwan and Trautner 2009). These
practices are often effortful, such as popular multistep
Korean skincare regimens (Chang 2011) or trends in con-
touring and strobing, where layers of make-up are carefully
applied to highlight facial features (Cardellino 2015). Even
mundane routines such as styling hair or applying cosmet-
ics often require significant time and care. Interestingly,
while research acknowledges that physical attractiveness
can be enhanced through beauty work (Etcoff et al. 2011;
Kwan and Trautner 2009), it has not examined how the

1. What position/positions in your organization are accountable for workplace relations in your organization? What impact do they have? What programs are in place to impact relations at work? Provide specific examples.
My organization is unique. As a member of the IG, I am tasked with inspecting other organizations for compliance, readiness, resource management, and training. Most military organizations have a commander who is responsible for workplace relations in the organizations. The commander ‘s responsibilities include executing the mission, leading people, managing resources, and improving the unit (Air Force Instruction 1-2, 2014).
The commander is responsible for the organization but is not alone. The First Sergeant is responsible for ensuring the force understands the commander’s goals, objectives, and policies. The first Sergeant must communicate with other leaders in the unit and be familiar with personnel programs, professional military education, financial needs, family matters to include housing (Air Force Instruction 36-2113, 2014).
There are many other personnel responsible for workplace relations in the organization. Supervisors at all levels, Equal Opportunity, the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response office, the Inspector General, and the legal office. All these key organizations play a role in the organizations under their span of control.
2. If you were an HR manager in a private-sector organization, what key programs would you implement to improve employee-employer relations? Why?
The first program I would implement is streamlined communication. If assigned to a large organization I would look at developing a smart phone application to help with the follow of communication. Employees want to know where they fit in the organization and what they are working toward (Smith, 2017).
Another program I would ensure was developed was a recognition program. Gallup recently completed a survey showing fifty-three percent of employees are not engaged, another survey showed workers who give their management a lower rating is more likely to apply or interview for other positions (Duran, 2020).
Finally, a program I believe is essential today is a career development program. In a survey in 2018, forty-two percent of millennials said their current employer provide learning, development, and training opportunities (Witkin, 2018). Eighty six percent of millennials say they would stay at their current job if the company offered development training opportunities (Duran, 2020).
3. How would you determine the added value of your programs?
As with most programs a Return on Investment (ROI) Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) should be performed. A BCR greater than one shows the program has worth and is not losing the organization money (Kaminski, & Lopes, 2009). ROI was deemed impossible to calculate for human resources, but that is no longer the case (SHRM, 2016).

Bear in mind what you learned about Imagism as you answer one of the following questions geared towards showcasing what you've learned about this aspect of the Modernist movement. NO OUTSIDE SOURCES may be used for this and other discussion posts.
1) Pound’s definition of the image was “that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time." How does "In a Station at the Metro" fall in line with this definition? What is the intellectual and emotional complex being presented here?
2) If Imagist poetry deals with fleeting associations, what role is Helen as a figure playing in this poem? What revisions are being made to the myth in terms of how Helen is represented?
3) William Carlos Williams is famous for turning ordinary objects into poetic subjects with meaning. How does he accomplish this in “The Red Wheelbarrow”? What overall tone or feeling are you left with at the end of this? How does “The Red Wheelbarrow” work within the scope of Imagism?

Continuous Variable
The continuous variable I selected is “Problems w/Public Health Clinics”. The means for this data is 7.43, the median is 7.4335 and the mode is 0. For the variable, the mean is the best measure it incorporates every value of this variable making it more representative of the variable (Frankfort-Nachmias, Leon-Guerrero, & Davis, 2020). The standard deviation is 5.11961, this number represents the difference of the data points from the mean. This number means that the scores regarding problems with health clinics differed from the mean by 5.11961. The variance is 26.210 describes the degree to which the data points are spread. I would describe this variable as having a lot of variability and extreme. Those that had no problems with public clinics more than double the amount of those that had a median amount of problems and triple those that had lots of problems.
Categorical Variable
Categorical variables are nominal or ordinal and cannot be described with mean or median. The best central tendency for these variables are mode, which is the score that shows up most frequently (Frankfort-Nachmias, Leon-Guerrero, & Davis, 2020). The categorical variable I selected is “country’s present economic condition compared to 12 months ago”, is mode is a tie for same and better all with the frequency of 2872 and a percent of 27.8%. This variable has low variability. Most of the participants believe there has been a small change or no change in economic conditions over the past 12 months.

Documentary, The Age of Consequences (Links to an external site.)
The consensus of the American security experts interviewed for the documentary is that climate changes are occurring and that a certain amount of change is already built in and will continue to occur over the course of our lifetimes.
Many places in the documentary describe large-scale displacements of people due to changing climate factors where millions and tens of millions of people have been forced to re-locate to secure food and water. The experts unanimously point out the de-stabilizing effects of these mass migrations for the countries who receive them.
Do we have an ethical obligation to assist people caught up in these large-scale movements of people to help them secure the basic necessities of food, water, and a secure way of life. Why or why not?

Overview
Theme:
In keeping with the topic of the class this semester and the year’s theme of love your neighbor, the theme of the prayer assignment this semester calls you to explore a world religion. Part of exploring world religions and loving your neighbor includes broadening your knowledge of spirituality, both of religious and humanist traditions. For your prayer/reflection assignment, you may choose from a world religion or a humanist tradition. For example, if the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) has interest to you, your prayer plan may include a traditional LDS prayer. If you are an atheist, then you may wish to research humanist traditions or share a piece of literature, music, or art that expresses your spirituality or foundational belief.
Format:
Similar to your freshman and sophomore year, your prayer outline is to be formatted as follows. (A sample prayer follows these instructions.)
1. Upper right corner of page one (1): Name, Block, Teacher’s name, Date of Prayer
2. Broken into the following sections: Opening; Brief explanation of the religion, group, or your world view; Prayer or Text; Reflection; Intentions; Closing.
3. Bold and underlined section headings.
Section Details:
Opening
Explain how you will open the prayer or reflection time. For example, will you ring the prayer bowl, invite everyone to do the sign of the cross, or invite them to a moment of silence?
Summary
In one or two paragraphs summarize the religion, group, or what has contributed to your world view. Either during or after your summary, be sure to cite the two resources you consulted or that have contributed to your world view.
Your summary or your personal story will include a visual or audio resource, such as a video clip, drawing, photograph, or song. You need only have one visual or audio resource during your prayer/reflection presentation, so decide if it will be in the summary or the reflection/prayer.
Prayer/Reflection
This can be a prayer from the religion, a text from the group, or text that has meaning for you. (A text can be a piece of art, video, song, piece of poetry or literature, or personal writing).
Your summary or your prayer will include a visual or audio resource, such as a video clip, drawing, photograph, or song. You need only have one visual or audio resource, choose if it will be in the summary or the prayer.
Intentions
Two intentions related to events occurring in the world that are in need of social justice (loving your neighbor). These events do not need to be related to your person or topic. With prior notification, these events may be changed due to current events at the time you lead prayer/reflection.
Intentions may be followed with “We pray to the Lord,” or a moment of silence. If you have an idea for another way to close them, please share it with the teacher.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
