Executive Summary
The organization that I selected is the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Los Angeles Galaxy is a Major League Soccer Team located in the Los Angeles County Area in California. The organization provides a Professional Soccer Team right in the LA area and Soccer fans around SoCal have the opportunity to come and watch the team play. Los Angeles Galaxy besides being a Professional Soccer Team also has academy teams for boys and girls. They also provide Soccer clinics to the public and are willing to help the local Soccer teams as they invite them to come experience a Soccer game. The person who owns the team is Philip F. Anschutz while the President and CEO is Dan Beckerman. The Los Angeles Galaxy’s President and General Manager in Chris Klein and Pete Vagenas are former Los Angeles Galaxy players and want to improve and grow the fan base for the team. They operate and run things as they are always trying to do what is best for the organization as a whole. The Los Angeles Galaxy is the second most valuable Major League Soccer Team as the organization is worth $265 Million and brought in $58 Million in (Forbes). It is the most successful team in all Major League Soccer and are known to start trends that other Major League Soccer teams like to follow. Two examples were when the LA Galaxy were the first in all the league to sign a Superstar, the Galaxy signed David Beckham and not only made the team win championships but also attracted more people to come watch the LA Galaxy. The second example was when just this past October the LA Galaxy launched a fully funded Girls Academy teams as they were again the first in all Major League Soccer to do. One can say LA Galaxy likes to be the team that everyone tries to emulate as the LA Galaxy is the best team in history and in the league. Many teams are trying to now sign up to 3 star players to try to compete with the LA Galaxy and now the league has at least 1 International star on each team.
Here is the Organization Chart for the Los Angeles Galaxy:
Philip F. Anschutz- Owner Dan Beckermen- President & CEO
Chris Klein- President Pete Vagenas- GM & VP Ops. Thomas Braun- VP Bus.
Introduction
The Los Angeles Galaxy, mostly known as the LA Galaxy, is an American Professional Soccer Club Team that competes in the Soccer league called Major League Soccer. The team competes in the Western Conference and are located in the city of Carson, California. The Los Angeles Galaxy is the second most valuable Major League Soccer Team as the organization is worth $265 Million and brought in $58 Million in (Forbes). The Los Angeles Galaxy has had a lot of success in the Major League Soccer as it is the most successful Major League Soccer team. It has won the most Major League Soccer Cup 5 times and has appeared ...

The LA Galaxy
The LA Galaxy is a professional soccer club competing in Major League Soccer (MLS). The club was one of ten charter clubs when the league began and is now part of the league’s Western Conference. “The LA Galaxy was founded in 1996,” says Klein, and “through the course of the League’s history, the Galaxy has been the most successful franchise in Major League Soccer.” The team has been conference champions nine times, regular season champions four times, and the MLS championship winners five times.
The first Galaxy games were played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, until the team moved to its current location in the soccer-specific stadium StubHub Center in Carson, California. Players are primarily from the United States but also represent countries such as Brazil, Ireland, Italy, and Panama. “We have signed some of the biggest players, not only in our country, like Cobi Jones and Landon Donovan, but we’ve also signed some of the biggest players in the world,” explains Klein. English soccer superstar David Beckham joined the LA Galaxy in 2007 and played through 2012, helping the team win two championships during that period.
Today, the LA Galaxy attracts an average of 23,000 fans to each of its games. While the hard-core fans tend to be 18- to 34-year-old men, the team also appeals to many other segments. For example, because soccer is the largest participant sport in the United States, many kids and youth soccer teams come to the games. In addition, many college students and families attend. According to Klein, it’s a welcoming environment where “you can paint your face and yell” or you can bring your kids and just “have fun at the game.” The team’s mascot, Cozmo, is a frog-like extraterrestrial who entertains fans at the games and throughout Southern California.
Major League Soccer
As part of its negotiation to hold the 1994 FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup in the United States, the U.S. Soccer Federation promised to establish a professional soccer league. The result was Major League Soccer. Since its beginning with 10 teams in 1996, Major League Soccer has expanded to 22 teams, including 3 teams in Canada. Each team plays 34 games during the regular season from March to October, and the top 12 teams participate in the playoffs, which end with the MLS Cup in December.
Even though soccer is popular around the world, introducing professional soccer in the United States presented some difficulties. Klein describes the problem:
Soccer is the biggest sport in the world, but here in the U.S. we have a lot of competition. Major League Soccer is the equivalent to Major League Baseball, the NFL, the NBA, and the NHL. These are established leagues and MLS is the fifth major sport. In 1996, we started thinking that we had to get every baseball fan, basketball fan, and football fan to enjoy our sport.
To attempt to attract fans from other sports, MLS experimented with changes to traditional soccer.
Collaborated in a group to develop a comprehensive plan for potential MLS Expansion to three cities. Besides designing and putting together the entire proposal document my proudest work is using my skills on Adobe Photoshop to create each of the three potential teams unique logos.

Are human lives intrinsically valuable? If so, in virtue of what? (Is
it our uniqueness, perhaps, or our autonomy, or something else?)
To begin, I would like to remind us that being intrinsically valuable
means having values for just being us and nothing else. I believe
that human lives are intrinsically valuable in virtue of our
uniqueness. As a bio nerd, I would like to state the fact that there
are a lot of crossover events during meiosis, which create trillions
of different DNA combinations. Hence, from a biological
standpoint, without considering other aspects, being you is
already valuable because you are that one sperm that won the
race and got fertilized. On a larger scale, there are hardly two
people whose look and behaviors are the same in the same
family, unless they are identical twins. However, identical twins
still act differently and have differences (such as fingerprints).
Since we are raised in different families, we are taught different
things and have different cultures. In general, we all have
different genetic information, appearances, personalities, senses
of humor, ambitions, talents, interests and life experiences. These
characteristics make up our “unique individual value” and make
us so unique and irreplaceable.
I would also love to discuss how our diversities enrich and
contribute to society, but that would be a talk about our extrinsic
values.

Are human lives intrinsically valuable? If so, in virtue of what? (Is
it our uniqueness, perhaps, or our autonomy, or something else?)
I believe that human lives are intrinsically valuable due to a
number of reasons. Firstly, human lives aren’t replaceable. You
can’t replace a human being with another just like you can
replace a broken laptop with brand new one. Part of the reason
why we tend to think this way is that we were nurtured with the
notion that there is, indeed, a special value to human life. This
could be in virtue of our uniqueness-- the fact that we are
sentient and capable of complex thoughts and emotions
separates us from any other species on this planet. From a
scientific standpoint, this is also one of the reasons as to why
humans became the dominant species in today’s age.
Moreover, human lives aren’t disposable. I think this is largely due
to us humans having the ability to empathize with others. We
understand that it’s morally inappropriate to take the life of
another individual even if they’re complete strangers because
they’re another human being like us who has their own thoughts,
values, memories, and stories. In a way, we have a strong
emotional connection to our own species. As .

Part C Developing Your Design
Solution
The Production Cycle
Within the four stages of the design workflow there are two distinct parts.
The first three stages, as presented in Part B of this book, were described
as ‘The Hidden Thinking’ stages, as they are concerned with undertaking
the crucial behind-the-scenes preparatory work. You may have completed
them in terms of working through the book’s contents, but in visualisation
projects they will continue to command your attention, even if that is
reduced to a background concern.
You have now reached the second distinct part of the workflow which
involves developing your design solution. This stage follows a production
cycle, commencing with rationalising design ideas and moving through to
the development of a final solution.
The term cycle is appropriate to describe this stage as there are many loops
of iteration as you evolve rapidly between conceptual, practical and
technical thinking. The inevitability of this iterative cycle is, in large part,
again due to the nature of this pursuit being more about optimisation rather
than an expectation of achieving that elusive notion of perfection. Trade-
offs, compromises, and restrictions are omnipresent as you juggle ambition
and necessary pragmatism.
How you undertake this stage will differ considerably depending on the
nature of your task. The creation of a relatively simple, single chart to be
slotted into a report probably will not require the same rigour of a formal
production cycle that the development of a vast interactive visualisation to
be used by the public would demand. This is merely an outline of the most
you will need to do – you should edit, adapt and participate the steps to fit
with your context.
There are several discrete steps involved in this production cycle:
Conceiving ideas across the five layers of visualisation design.
Wireframing and storyboarding designs.
Developing prototypes or mock-up versions.
219
Testing.
Refining and completing.
Launching the solution.
Naturally, the specific approach for developing your design solution (from
prototyping through to launching) will vary hugely, depending particularly
on your skills and resources: it might be an Excel chart, or a Tableau
dashboard, an infographic created using Adobe Illustrator, or a web-based
interactive built with the D3.js library. As I have explained in the book’s
introduction, I’m not going to attempt to cover the myriad ways of
implementing a solution; that would be impossible to achieve as each task
and tool would require different instructions.
For the scope of this book, I am focusing on taking you through the first
two steps of this cycle – conceiving ideas and wireframing/storyboarding.
There are parallels here with the distinctions between architecture (design)
and engineering (execution) – I’m effectively chaperoning you through to
the conclusion of your design thinking.

Implications to Nursing Practice & Patient Outcomes
Nurses need to know that they play a significant role in the reduction of hospital acquired infection by ensuring by health care workers and patients wash hands since nurses have the most interactions with patients. Implementing hand hygiene protocol with patients can enhance awareness and decrease healthcare associated infection (HAI). Both nurses and patients need to know that HAI is associated with increased morbidity and mortality as well cost of treatment and length of hospital stay. Nurses and patients also need to know that most HAI is preventable. Gujral (2015) notes that proper hand hygiene is the single most important, simplest, and least expensive means of reducing prevalence of HAI and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Nurse and patient hand washing plays a vital role in decreasing healthcare costs and infections in all settings.

PART A
Hepatitis C is a chronic liver infection that can be either silent (with no noticeable symptoms) or debilitating. Either way, 80% of infected persons experience continuing liver destruction. Chronic hepatitis C infection is the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States. The virus that causes it is blood borne, and therefore patients who undergo frequent procedures involving transfer of blood are particularly susceptible to infection. Kidney dialysis patients belong to this group. In 2008, a for-profit hemodialysis facility in New York was shut down after nine of its patients were confirmed as having become infected with hepatitis C while undergoing hemodialysis treatments there between 2001 and 2008.
When the investigation was conducted in 2008, investigators found that 20 of the facility’s 162 patients had been documented with hepatitis C infection at the time they began their association with the clinic. All the current patients were then offered hepatitis C testing, to determine how many had acquired hepatitis C during the time they were receiving treatment at the clinic. They were considered positive if enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests showed the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis C virus.
Health officials did not test the workers at the hemodialysis facility for hepatitis C because they did not view them as likely sources of the nine new infections. Why not?
Why do you think patients were tested for antibody to the virus instead of for the presence of the virus itself?

"What is moral relativism? Why might people be attracted to it? Is
it plausible?"
First of all, moral relativism is the view that moral truths are
subjective and depend on each individual's standpoints. Based
on this, everyone's moral view is legitimate. This can be attracted
because it sounds liberating and there is no need to argue for a
particular position. Moral relativism seems convincing in some
cases. For example, some people are okay with giving money to
homeless people, thinking that it's good to provide for the people
in need. Some people, on the other hand, claim that they can
work to satisfy their own needs. Moral relativism works well in
these cases because they all seem legitimate. However, there are
cases that moral relativism does not seem reasonable. For
example, child sacrifice in some cultures seems cruel and
uncivilized to most people. Hence, moral relativism is not
absolutely true.

“Is your death bad for you, specifically, or only (at most) for others? Why
might someone claim that it isn’t bad for you?”
I'd start off by acknowledging what the two ancient philosophers,
Lucretius and Epicurus, outlined about death. They made the
point that death isn't necessarily bad for you since no suffering
takes place and that you yourself don't realize your own death. In
this way, one could make the claim that death isn't intrinsically
bad for you.
Another perspective I wanted to add was the influence of death
(both on you and others around you). Specifically, the event of
death itself may not be bad for you, but the idea of impending
death could impact one's life. Some may live freely, totally care-
free, accepting of death and enjoy life in the moment. Others may
be frightened by the idea of death that they live in constant fear
and hence death causing their mental health to take its toll. In
this way, I'd argue that death could, in fact, be bad for you. One
common reason for being afraid of death is the fear of being
forgotten. Not to mention the death of an individual certainly
affects others; death doesn't affect one's life but also all that is
connected to it. Focusing back to the point, it's clear that the
very idea of death directly affects the concerned individual. The
fact that those who live in fear of death are looking for legacies
and footprints to leave after they leave this world is telling of how
death could be arguably bad for you before it even happens.

Implications to Nursing Practice & Patient Outcomes
Nurses need to know that they play a significant role in the reduction of hospital acquired infection by ensuring by health care workers and patients wash hands since nurses have the most interactions with patients. Implementing hand hygiene protocol with patients can enhance awareness and decrease healthcare associated infection (HAI). Both nurses and patients need to know that HAI is associated with increased morbidity and mortality as well cost of treatment and length of hospital stay. Nurses and patients also need to know that most HAI is preventable. Gujral (2015) notes that proper hand hygiene is the single most important, simplest, and least expensive means of reducing prevalence of HAI and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Nurse and patient hand washing plays a vital role in decreasing healthcare costs and infections in all settings.

PART AHepatitis C is a chronic liver infection that can be e.docxsmile790243
PART A
Hepatitis C is a chronic liver infection that can be either silent (with no noticeable symptoms) or debilitating. Either way, 80% of infected persons experience continuing liver destruction. Chronic hepatitis C infection is the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States. The virus that causes it is blood borne, and therefore patients who undergo frequent procedures involving transfer of blood are particularly susceptible to infection. Kidney dialysis patients belong to this group. In 2008, a for-profit hemodialysis facility in New York was shut down after nine of its patients were confirmed as having become infected with hepatitis C while undergoing hemodialysis treatments there between 2001 and 2008.
When the investigation was conducted in 2008, investigators found that 20 of the facility’s 162 patients had been documented with hepatitis C infection at the time they began their association with the clinic. All the current patients were then offered hepatitis C testing, to determine how many had acquired hepatitis C during the time they were receiving treatment at the clinic. They were considered positive if enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests showed the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis C virus.
Health officials did not test the workers at the hemodialysis facility for hepatitis C because they did not view them as likely sources of the nine new infections. Why not?
Why do you think patients were tested for antibody to the virus instead of for the presence of the virus itself?

PART B
Please response to these two original posts below. When responding to
these posts, please either expand the thought, add additional insights, or
respectfully disagree and explain why. Remember that we are after reasons
and arguments, and not simply the statement of opinions.
Original Post 1
"What is moral relativism? Why might people be attracted to it? Is
it plausible?"
First of all, moral relativism is the view that moral truths are
subjective and depend on each individual's standpoints. Based
on this, everyone's moral view is legitimate. This can be attracted
because it sounds liberating and there is no need to argue for a
particular position. Moral relativism seems convincing in some
cases. For example, some people are okay with giving money to
homeless people, thinking that it's good to provide for the people
in need. Some people, on the other hand, claim that they can
work to satisfy their own needs. Moral relativism works well in
these cases because they all seem legitimate. However, there are
cases that moral relativism does not seem reasonable. For
example, child sacrifice in some cultures seems cruel and
uncivilized to most people. Hence, moral relativism is not
absolutely true.
Original Post 2
“Is your death bad for you, specifically, or only (at most) for others? Why
might someone claim that it isn’t bad for you?”
I'd start off by acknowledging what the two ancient philosophers,
Lucretius and Epicurus, outlined about death. They made the
point that death isn't necessarily bad for you since no suffering
takes place and that you yourself don't realize your own death. In
this way, one could make the claim that death isn't intrinsically
bad for you.
Another perspective I wanted to add was the influence of death
(both on you and others around you). Specifically, the event of
death itself may not be bad for you, but the idea of impending
death could impact one's life. Some may live freely, totally care-
free, accepting of death and enjoy life in the moment. Others may
be frightened by the idea of death that they live in constant fear
and hence death causing their mental health to take its toll. In
this way, I'd argue that death could, in fact, be bad for you. One
common reason for being afraid of death is the fear of being
forgotten. Not to mention the death of an individual certainly
affects others; death doesn't affect one's life but also all that is
connected to it. Focusing back to the point, it's clear that the
very idea of death directly affects the concerned individual. The
fact that those who live in fear of death are looking for legacies
and footprints to leave after they leave this world is telling of how
death could be arguably bad for you before it even happens.

A. UTI is short form for Urinary tract infection. Means infection which affects organs of urinary tract. Such as urethra, urinary bladder and kidney. This are main organ for formation of urine and helps to expel it out of body.
B. Kidneys, urethra and urinary bladder gets affected during Urinary tract infection. Generally infection begins with urethra then travels to kidney.
When only lower part gets affected which is called lower UTI also cystitis because involves bladder
And when infection spread to upper side involving kidneys known as pyelonephritis.
2.
A. Microorganism in UTI
Escherichia coli
Klebsiella pneumoniae
B. Coli bacteria lives in intestine. So they also seen near anal canal. From which gets transferred to urethra.
C. Bacteria enters urinary tract from urethra. In very less cases kidney gets infected by blood stream.
3.
Signs and symptoms:
A) Pain with urination:
The infection cause inflammation of urinary tract, the urine from the inflammed urinary tract cause pain in urination.
B) orange or red colour urine:
The inflammation of urinary tract may cause a orange or red colour urine. It is common sign in UTI due to inflammation of urinary tract.
4.
UTI:
Urinary tract infection (UTI) any infection on the urinary tract causing difficult in urination. It most commonly affects the woman because thet are more prone to it.
Diagnosis And treatment:
A) The diagnostic test for UTI:
The two major diagnostic test for UTI are:
Urinalysis:
Urine is collected from the patient who came for test. This test shows the bacterial or any infectious organism in the urine.
The collected urine sample is added to the substance which promotes the growth of the organism in the urine.
If the growth is organism doesn't takes place then the test is negative.
If the organism growth in the urine takes place then the test is positive.
Ultra sound:
The sound waves from the transducer of ultra produce a imaging of the internal organs.
Patient lower abdomen is scanned by ultra sound to detect any abnormality in the organs and structures of urinary tract.
B) The medications for UTI are antibiotics or antimicrobial.
The two drugs are amoxicillin, sulfasulfamethaxazole.
Both of these drugs act on UTI by fighting against the microorganisms in the UTI. By assisting the immune system, it fight against the microorganisms and that relieves the symptoms of UTI.
5.
answer. a) In women at the time of pregnancy the drainage system from the kidney towards bladder become wide, hence, urine does not pass out as quickly. This makes it easier to get an infection. Similarly women has shorter urethra than a man have, the shorter distance make the way easy to bacteria to travel into the bladder.
b) There are no of ways by which women can reduce the risk of getting UTI. Like women should drink plenty of water this will help of getting rid from UTI, a women should protect their urethra .

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.

Executive Summary
The organization that I selected is the Los Angeles Galaxy. The
Los Angeles Galaxy is a Major League Soccer Team located in
the Los Angeles County Area in California. The organization
provides a Professional Soccer Team right in the LA area and
2. Soccer fans around SoCal have the opportunity to come and
watch the team play. Los Angeles Galaxy besides being a
Professional Soccer Team also has academy teams for boys and
girls. They also provide Soccer clinics to the public and are
willing to help the local Soccer teams as they invite them to
come experience a Soccer game. The person who owns the team
is Philip F. Anschutz while the President and CEO is Dan
Beckerman. The Los Angeles Galaxy’s President and General
Manager in Chris Klein and Pete Vagenas are former Los
Angeles Galaxy players and want to improve and grow the fan
base for the team. They operate and run things as they are
always trying to do what is best for the organization as a whole.
The Los Angeles Galaxy is the second most valuable Major
League Soccer Team as the organization is worth $265 Million
and brought in $58 Million in (Forbes). It is the most successful
team in all Major League Soccer and are known to start trends
that other Major League Soccer teams like to follow. Two
examples were when the LA Galaxy were the first in all the
league to sign a Superstar, the Galaxy signed David Beckham
and not only made the team win championships but also
attracted more people to come watch the LA Galaxy. The second
example was when just this past October the LA Galaxy
launched a fully funded Girls Academy teams as they were
again the first in all Major League Soccer to do. One can say
LA Galaxy likes to be the team that everyone tries to emulate as
the LA Galaxy is the best team in history and in the league.
Many teams are trying to now sign up to 3 star players to try to
compete with the LA Galaxy and now the league has at least 1
International star on each team.
Here is the Organization Chart for the Los Angeles Galaxy:
Philip F. Anschutz- Owner Dan Beckermen-
President & CEO
Chris Klein- President Pete Vagenas- GM & VP
Ops. Thomas Braun- VP Bus.
3. Introduction
The Los Angeles Galaxy, mostly known as the LA Galaxy,
is an American Professional Soccer Club Team that competes in
the Soccer league called Major League Soccer. The team
competes in the Western Conference and are located in the city
of Carson, California. The Los Angeles Galaxy is the second
most valuable Major League Soccer Team as the organization is
worth $265 Million and brought in $58 Million in (Forbes). The
Los Angeles Galaxy has had a lot of success in the Major
League Soccer as it is the most successful Major League Soccer
team. It has won the most Major League Soccer Cup 5 times and
has appeared 9 times in the Major League Cup Finals which is
the most by any Major League Soccer Team in the Major
League Soccer’s history. The LA Galaxy is tied for having the
most Supporter Shield Trophy’s in which the trophy is given to
the team who has had the best record of a Major League Soccer
season in which the LA Galaxy has won the trophy 4 times. The
LA Galaxy came second in Forbes list of Most Valuable MLS
Teams in 2016 as they were valued at $265 million (Forbes
Releases Annual MLS team Valuations as Seattle and LA Lead
the Way). Not only was this impressive but they brought in the
most revenue in all Major League Soccer with $58 million in
revenue which is $6 million more than the team who came in
second (Major League Soccer's Most Valuable Teams 2016:
New York, Orlando Thrive In First Seasons ).
LA Galaxy has also been successful because of its recruitment
internationally, mainly from Europe. The LA Galaxy has gone
out and recruited some top quality players over the years such
as David Beckham, Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard and recently
Giovani Dos Santos. These guys were a huge help and were part
of LA Galaxy team’s that had won trophies. Not only did David
Beckham and Robbie Keane win trophies but Robbie Keane has
been the best Designated Player in MLS History (Robbie Keane
Easily Has Been the Best Designated Player in MLS History).
The players that the LA Galaxy get from Europe has helped
them to achieve greatness and trophies in the Major League
4. Soccer. David Beckham was the first designated player to come
not only to the LA Galaxy but to Major League Soccer. He
paved the way for other international stars to come and play
their Soccer in the United States. The designated player rule is
also called the David Beckham rule because he was one of the
first soccer international player to come and play in the Major
League Soccer that’s pay was outside of the teams salary budget
(Designated Players in MLS: Every Club Has a DP for the First
Time in League History). In the past two Major League Soccer
seasons, 2015 and 2016, LA Galaxy has increased their average
attendances. It increased their average attendance by 7.5% from
last year and is top 5 in all Major League Soccer average
attendance (MLS Sets Average Attendance Record in 2016 as
Seattle Sounders Lead All Clubs). With this being said, we can
see that the LA Galaxy are attracting more and more people
each year to their home games. LA Galaxy fans are loyal in
numbers and have the teams support each and every year.

known for having a family oriented team and it feels like home
to many past players who have played on the team. The Lowest
salary amount on the LA Galaxy is $53,000 while the largest
salary is $3,750,000 which goes to the superstar International
Giovani Dos Santos. The third level in Maslow’s is Affiliation
which means employees enjoying and being motivated by social
networks and connections with colleagues. In making it
relatable to the LA Galaxy, the organizations as a whole is
always trying to connect the players on the teams with the fans
and use social media as a way to do so. The Marketing and
5. Social Media Team for the LA Galaxy always use Instagram,
Facebook and Snap chat to interact with the fans and to address
where some LA Galaxy players will be for a meet and great. I
remember seeing one held at a Gas Station a block from where I
work at and a lot of people were there supporting the players
and taking pictures with them as well as signing autographs.
The need to feel loved by the fans and a part of the team is what
the LA Galaxy is truly known for on and off the soccer field.
Lastly, with the last example it would be level four as it is
about Esteem Needs. With it regarding to the LA Galaxy
everyone on the team is respected to the highest level as all the
players are Professional players and are working towards a goal
to be the best they can be both as individuals and on a team.
When a teammate is doing well everyone acknowledges them
doing the things correctly such as scoring a goal or saving a
goal. Appreciation towards teammates and coaches is key to the
team’s success in order to succeed the goal of becoming
champions.
McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y
McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y are two perspectives of
how managers would look at employees. The Theory X would
say regarding to the LA Galaxy is that the Professional Soccer
players only play the sport because of the luxury of great
payment by an organization and simply only care about getting
paid. The LA Galaxy and its players are professional and top
class as they always strive to be the best they can be and when
they don’t reach that goal it is surely a disappointment. I do not
believe Theory X is compatible with the LA Galaxy as the
players truly do not just care about receiving their check at the
end of the month, these players know what it means to represent
this great city and team. With this being said brings me to
Theory Y as I believe it associates more with the LA Galaxy
than that of Theory X. Theory Y pertaining to the LA Galaxy
views its professional players as working but seeing their work
as play. Many professional players see work as play as they get
to perform athletically and do what they love to do as well as
6. getting paid top dollar for it. The LA Galaxy is an organization
that players love to come and play for as they have fun working
hard towards the goal of winning the championship. Everyone
on the team is responsible for doing their jobs and are dedicated
in putting in the work at practices and games. Players are
delighted to train to their very best of their abilities even
though they know that every player gets paid differently and
some make more than others. Everyone knows to give their best
every day at training and not complain about wages when it
comes to practices as everyone is a team and have agreements
with each other on being the best team they can possibly be.
Peters and Waterman
Peter and Waterman’s Bias for Action pertaining to the LA
Galaxy is that the players are trained to excel in decisive times,
are capable to score goals in critical times during a game and to
hire the correct coach and people. The coaching staff puts the
players in positions during practice to transfer over to the
games as they train in making quick decisions to either attack to
score when down in the game or hold the ball to run down the
clock if they are winning the game. The players have to act on
instinct and just do it as they always train and are prepared to
deal with any game situation when needed. Peter and
Waterman’s Stick to the Knitting pertaining to the LA Galaxy is
to simply stick what the LA Galaxy knows what to do best. The
LA Galaxy is known for being a High Professional Community
Involvement Soccer team as they always like to bring in local
Soccer teams to games and have the kids high five the players
before the game. It is called “On Field Experiences” and the
kids have the chance to be Ball Kids for the game, play a mini
Soccer game at halftime, watch warm ups from the LA Galaxy
bench as well as high fiving the players before they enter the
Soccer field (LA Galaxy On Field Experiences). LA Galaxy is
known for being family oriented as well as being a top Soccer
team that always competes for championships. Lastly, Peter and
Waterman’s Productivity through People pertaining to the LA
Galaxy is to hire the right coach and people. People in this
7. situation means Staff such as trainers, assistant coaches and
nutritionists as well as players to strengthen the team. Just this
past year, the LA Galaxy coach left the team to take on the role
of being USA National Men’s Team Coach. The LA Galaxy had
to hire a new coach and they hired their LA Galaxy 2 coach,
Curt Onalfo (LA Galaxy name Curt Onalfo head coach). Hiring
the right coach is key as he direct the lineup and how the team
will be playing on the field. Making the correct signings of
players is key and the coach is always looking to sign top
players to bring to the team.
Communications Theory
Time and Distance
Guffy’s Time and Distance relating to the LA Galaxy can
be seen as time away from home, traveling to away games and
time away from family/loved ones. When you are part of the LA
Galaxy Soccer team you are committed to the team and have to
travel away from home to away games as far as Canada and
New York. Leaving the comfort of your home and family can be
hard at times but it comes with being a Professional Soccer
Player. Being away from family half of the year can be hard but
family will always support the players when they leave. As a
Soccer team the players of the team as a whole are a 2nd family
as they spent most of their team with each other practicing,
flying to away games and relaxing than their families. They
bond with each other and comfort one another as they leave
their comforts of the home to compete and play professional
soccer with the LA Galaxy.
Teamwork
Zaremba’s Teamwork relating to the LA Galaxy can be
seen as the overall group work of the head coach, team, staff as
they all work towards the main goal of winning the
championship and being the best team in all Major League
Soccer. The head coach works day in and day out to come up
with practice drills, team line ups and decides who will sit out
on game day. The Staff is basically everyone else besides the
head coach as they are all there to support both the coach and
8. aid to the players in order for the group as a whole to succeed.
The team are the players in the squad that train each and every
day to compete and become the best they can be as well as the
best in all Major League Soccer. Working all together as a
whole exemplifies the teamwork that the LA Galaxy has as a
team and organization as everyone contributes to the group in
order to achieve the goal.
Communication Culture
Zaremba’s Communication Culture relating to the LA
Galaxy can be seen as how one feels being a part of the LA
Galaxy team, how one’s own opinions on team meetings play
out and how those opinions are heard and taken to make
adjustments. Communication involving the team is crucial as
everyone tries to be on the same page at all times. Feeling as if
you are one with the team and feel that you are a part of the
team is key to the team’s progress as a unit. The LA Galaxy
feeling is a great feeling to have as many players feel honored
to play for a great Soccer team and to play in the Los Angeles
area. Having a say at team meetings is key and many players
like to speak about what they feel the team can do better to
improve and fix mistakes that are holding the team back from
achieving. The coach and staff hear out their player’s remarks
and the coach decides what the best possible take should be
when moving forward with the Soccer Team. The thing about
being a part of the LA Galaxy is that your voice is heard and the
coach and staff really do listen to what their players have to
say. The coach knows it needs everyone to be on board and on
the same page to do well and become competitive throughout
the Soccer season. Making adjustments along the way is key to
keep players happy and keep the staff to do their jobs in making
the team’s chemistry and happiness to its highest it can be.
Intercultural Relations Theory
High /Low Context Culture
High Context Culture with regards to the LA Galaxy is that
the rules are set, not showing up to practices on time and
playing dirty in games. The rules of the game of Soccer is set
9. and everyone on the team knows what will happen if they do not
show up to practices and if they play dirty in the games what
the result will be. The head coach might fine players for being
late or for not showing up to practices as well as the team will
suffer if a player plays dirty which will result to a Red card and
the team playing down to 10 men. The rules of the game of
Soccer is set and there are no going around the rules as
everyone knows to follow them or suffer by the consequences.
Low Context Culture with regards to the LA Galaxy is that
communication with things and one another runs throughout the
team. Communication is vital and everyone is used to each
other’s sense of being during away games and trainings. No one
is alarmed about one’s behavior if they are used to it on a daily
basis as communication on the field is vital but if a team has
been working together for a period of time body language and
hand movement is essential in a game. Many players are used to
playing with one another and have different ways to interact
with each other without using their voices to speak.
Barriers
Barriers with regards to the LA Galaxy is its new city rival
Los Angeles Football Club, location in Carson and from a
marking standpoint its game attendance. The Los Angeles
Football club, LAFC, will be a new Major League Soccer team
next year and are currently constructing their home stadium in
downtown Los Angeles. “LAFC is committed to building a
22,000 seat soccer specific venue, bringing in $350 million in
private investments to South Los Angeles (Banc of California
Stadium). The stadium will be accessible from the expanded
Metro line, will be an LEED Silver certified building and will
have natural Bermuda grass on the field (Banc of California
Stadium). The marketing catch for the LAFC team is that its
season members and fans will be a LAFC Original as they will
be the first to cheer on their new Los Angeles team this year.
Many fans in the Los Angeles area may like that idea of a new
Major League Soccer team in town and might support them
instead of the LA Galaxy. Another barrier for the LA Galaxy
10. would be its location. The LA Galaxy have their home games in
Carson, California which is a 30 minute drive from Los
Angeles, 45 minutes from Santa Monica Pier, 20 minutes from
Manhattan Beach, 30 minutes from Dodger Stadium, 25 minutes
from Staples Center, 45 minutes from Hollywood and 25
minutes from Disneyland. Many people would love to visit these
great cities and attractions especially on a sunny day which is a
weakness on game day for the LA Galaxy. The LA Galaxy want
people to come and experience a soccer game but in southern
California there are many professional teams, amusement parks
and beaches that people can choose from which is a barrier for
the organization as they want to grow in fans and attendance at
each game. Lastly, another barrier for the LA Galaxy from a
marketing standpoint and for game attendance’s are the head
coach and the two LA Galaxy players that have left the team
this past season. Bruce Arena was the LA Galaxy’s coach for
quite some years and decided to leave the club to become the
USA Men’s National Soccer Team coach (LA Galaxy's Bruce
Arena to Succeed Jürgen Klinsmann for U.S.). The LA Galaxy
have brought in Curt Onalfo and starting the team with a new
head coach can be quite a barrier to succeed in the very
competitive Major League Soccer. Coach Onalfo will be making
decisions for the team and some players may will have to adjust
to those decisions. If the LA Galaxy don’t have a winning
season at the end of the Soccer season, it can cause attendance
to drop for next season. Also, Robbie Keane and Steven Gerard
were two important European Designated players that helped the
LA Galaxy market and bring in more people to watch their
games. Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard were fan favorites as
they have played in Europe and had been successful in their
past. They were great at Marketing and bringing in more people
to the games and with their departure from the team, the LA
Galaxy will have to think about new ways to now market the
team and reach out to new people to attend their games. The
team is focusing in on marketing around Mexican star Giovani
Dos Santos as they want more Hispanics and Mexicans around
11. the area to come and not only support Dos Santos but to also
support the LA Galaxy.
Overcoming Barriers
Overcoming barriers with regards to the LA Galaxy is the
hiring of the LA Galaxy 2 head coach, reminding the fans that
the LA Galaxy has the most championships won and that the LA
Galaxy is providing a top quality team to go see as they have
star players and the biggest being the Mexican International star
in Giovani Dos Santos. The LA Galaxy overcame a barrier as
the hired the new head coach for the team in Curt Onalfo. He
has experience with the organization as he previously coached
the LA Galaxy 2 last year and has been given the opportunity to
coach the Major League Soccer 1st team in the LA Galaxy. The
LA Galaxy is well known around the league as being a top level
team and being from the Los Angeles area people always like to
see them play. Advertising the team as being the most
successful club team in the league is accurate and its trophies
speaks on its true value. Lastly, the LA Galaxy is well known
for bringing in top international soccer experiences as the first
every international star signing was none other than David
Beckham. He started it all and was a great success in winning
trophies with the LA Galaxy, after him many followed and the
most recent superstar for the team is Giovani Dos Santos. Dos
Santos fits perfectly as here in Southern California there is a
great presence of Hispanics especially with Mexican
background and people now buy tickets to see the LA Galaxy
because they want to see their fellow Mexican player, Dos
Santos, play. Dos Santos not only attracts Hispanics but also
makes the LA Galaxy tem better with his play on the field in the
games.
Ethics Theory
Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism with regards to the LA Galaxy is that the
team provides the greatest number of good for the number of
people, it gives the people of Southern California a Professional
Soccer team to go watch and see competitive Soccer and the
12. ticket prices are a great price for a Professional Soccer Team in
the LA area. The LA Galaxy pays their players and staff very
well and all of them are connected as they hope to work hard
and reach their goal of obtaining the championship of Major
League Soccer. Everyone is in with that goal and the mindset
kicks in at the beginning of the Soccer season and continues as
the season progresses. With everyone on board with the goal,
they all have a chance to be champions and being the best at
their profession. The LA Galaxy gives the people of Southern
California a chance to see the team play in Carson and many
people are starting to like Soccer. Seeing the best team in
history in all Major League Soccer gives people and fans
excited to go watch the team play. Seeing a Professional Soccer
game in the LA area is great and many people can see it for a
great price. The LA Galaxy charges a great price to see the team
play and also gives local soccer teams a chance to have a field
day experience as they can even play on the field at halftime.
Group discounts are also available and many people come out
and watch the team play.
Categorical Imperative
Categorical Imperative with regards to the LA Galaxy is to
no cheat, players not using steroids or other illegal drugs and
players not putting in their efforts at games or practices. The
LA Galaxy is a team that has high expectations on their players
and know that cheating will not be tolerated. The LA Galaxy is
a professional Soccer team and go by the rules in all aspects of
the game. They will not cheat in order to have an advantage as
they are a professional team. Using steroids or other illegal
drugs is forbidden and can result in a suspension by both the LA
Galaxy team and Major League Soccer. Players know as
professional to not use drugs and know the consequences if they
do. Lastly, players know that they will not play in games if they
do not put in the work. Players must show their best
performances in practices as the coach will have the choice to
pick them for the game. I do not believe the LA Galaxy meets
this criteria as the organization as a whole has never had an
13. incident or a situation that involved cheating or drugs. Players
known when they come to play for this great organization that
they have to train well and follow by the rules of the team. LA
Galaxy is a fair and great club in which will try to win the game
honestly and by the rules as they don’t need an advantage to
win Soccer games because they are the best team of the history
of the league.
Code of Ethics
Code of Ethics with regards to the LA Galaxy is to follow
the rules of the LA Galaxy about traveling to away games, to
follow the rules of Major League Soccer and to follow the rules
of the LA Galaxy as practicing and nutrition comes to play. The
LA Galaxy has a schedule that the players must not break as the
schedule is set especially when traveling on a plane. The
players cannot be late to the plane as they will miss their
boarding and will be late to the concentration of the hotel room.
The players must arrive at a certain time to board the plane as a
team and fly to their destination. Following the rules of Major
League Soccer is key and if a player tries to injure another
player on purpose it could result in a fine and suspension from
the league. One as a LA Galaxy player must follow the rules
that the league has placed such as not having the bench players
set foot on the soccer field when an altercation or fight breaks
out and not leaving the bench area in order to protest as both of
these can cause a fine, suspension or both. Rules are there to
not be broken and to maintain peace between the teams playing
as well as being safe to play the sport of Soccer. Lastly, players
of the LA Galaxy are follow the rules at practice and that of the
nutritionists as they are there to improve the health of the
players. They must eat, drink and relax when and how the
nutritionists want them to as they are professional people with
degrees in their respective fields. The LA Galaxy players should
respect them and follow their plans of eating the correct foods
as it can only benefit them in the long run. The team is
sponsored by Herbalife and the players are always using that
product to stay healthy as professional Soccer players should
14. always be.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the LA Galaxy are a top Major League Soccer
club team and are the best team in MLS history. They have done
many things right and I believe that they will continue to grow
as an organization and bring more championships to Carson.
The three key findings that I found were that the LA Galaxy’s
players needs to feel a part of the team and social media helps
with that. Fans follow the players on social media and can
interact with them when they have meet and greats. Fans are
always there to show support to the team and players and love
taking pictures as well as having a quick conversation with the
LA Galaxy players. The 2nd key finding was the LA Galaxy
players spend a lot of time away from their personal family and
loved ones. It can be very hard on a Player especially with
young children and new born’s as the LA Galaxy has to travel
half of the year to away games. Lastly, the third key finding
was that the players have to following their trainer’s nutrition
plan as well as getting their rest in between practices and
games. Being fit is key to being a professional and players are
always using their health as best they can to get an advantage
on other players and teams. Being fit, hydrated and relaxing for
big games is key if the LA Galaxy players want to succeed as a
group and have a chance to win the MLS Cup.

Introduction
The Los Angeles Galaxy, mostly known as the LA Galaxy,
is an American Professional Soccer Club Team that competes in
the Soccer league called Major League Soccer. The team
competes in the Western Conference and are located in the city
of Carson, California. The Los Angeles Galaxy is the second
134. most valuable Major League Soccer Team as the organization is
worth $265 Million and brought in $58 Million in (Forbes). The
Los Angeles Galaxy has had a lot of success in the Major
League Soccer as it is the most successful Major League Soccer
team. It has won the most Major League Soccer Cup 5 times and
has appeared 9 times in the Major League Cup Finals which is
the most by any Major League Soccer Team in the Major
League Soccer’s history. The LA Galaxy is tied for having the
most Supporter Shield Trophy’s in which the trophy is given to
the team who has had the best record of a Major League Soccer
season in which the LA Galaxy has won the trophy 4 times. The
LA Galaxy came second in Forbes list of Most Valuable MLS
Teams in 2016 as they were valued at $265 million (Forbes
Releases Annual MLS team Valuations as Seattle and LA Lead
the Way). Not only was this impressive but they brought in the
most revenue in all Major League Soccer with $58 million in
revenue which is $6 million more than the team who came in
second (Major League Soccer's Most Valuable Teams 2016:
New York, Orlando Thrive In First Seasons ).
LA Galaxy has also been successful because of its recruitment
internationally, mainly from Europe. The LA Galaxy has gone
out and recruited some top quality players over the years such
as David Beckham, Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard and recently
Giovani Dos Santos. These guys were a huge help and were part
of LA Galaxy team’s that had won trophies. Not only did David
Beckham and Robbie Keane win trophies but Robbie Keane has
been the best Designated Player in MLS History (Robbie Keane
Easily Has Been the Best Designated Player in MLS History).
The players that the LA Galaxy get from Europe has helped
them to achieve greatness and trophies in the Major League
Soccer. David Beckham was the first designated player to come
not only to the LA Galaxy but to Major League Soccer. He
paved the way for other international stars to come and play
their Soccer in the United States. The designated player rule is
also called the David Beckham rule because he was one of the
first soccer international player to come and play in the Major
