Choose one of the following questions:
Either:
1. Today’s workforce and the nature of work itself is changing, particularly in the climate of globalisation, and the new technological revolution. As a consequence issues facing HRM are expected to change dramatically in the next decade'. Consider this statement and draw upon at least two topics from the unit to discuss what some of these challenges are and the specific competencies faced by organisations and HR professionals to support employees in the contemporary business environment.
Or,
2. Discuss some of the ways organisations, jobs and careers have changed over the past 10 years. What changes do you anticipate over the next 10 years? How might these changes affect the manager’s job and the skills a manager needs to be successful? Illustrate with examples from at least two topics covered in the unit.
Notes for assistance
· There is no fixed way to answer the essay topic. Students are being tested on their capacity to think critically and integrate their learning gained in lectures and through their readings and experience.
· ‘Discuss’ means you need to think about and write about the different possibilities before you present a point of view. This is likely to need both description and interpretation.
· Opinion must be supported by carefully selected and authoritative evidence.
· Students are expected to use at least 10 refereed journal articles in writing their essay.
A peer-reviewed or refereed journal is a scholarly journal that requires submitted articles to be subjected to a process of critical review by experts on the subject, known as referees, before determining if the article is to be accepted for publication.
Note: not every academic or scholarly journal is refereed or peer-reviewed.
Be aware: not all articles contained in a refereed journal are peer-reviewed!
As a rule of thumb, editorials, short items, book reviews and letters to the editor are not peer reviewed. Brief commentaries, short communications and conference papers are not peer-reviewed either.
· Remember to arrive at a conclusion.
Essay Structure
An academic essay aims to persuade readers of an idea based on evidence.
· An academic essay should answer a question or task.
· It should have a thesis statement (answer to the question) and an argument.
· It should try to present or discuss something: develop a thesis via a set of closely related points by reasoning and evidence.
· An academic essay should include relevant examples, supporting evidence and information from academic texts or credible sources.

Following the Topic Selection Guidelines below, choose an argumentat.docxalfred4lewis58146
Following the Topic Selection Guidelines below, choose an argumentative topic to research. This will be your topic throughout the entire course, so the activities required for this assignment will provide the foundation for your future Touchstones. The topic for an argumentative research paper must be a debatable topic, meaning that it involves conflicting viewpoints. Additionally, it cannot be a topic that is already decided or agreed upon by most of society. You will need to take a firm position on the topic and use evidence and logic to support the position. Touchstone 1.2 includes a research question, a working thesis, a detailed outline, and a reflection on this pre-writing process.
A. Topic Selection Guidelines
DIRECTIONS:
You may choose any topic you wish as long as the topic has two clear sides and is not agreed upon by most of society. Your topic should be current, appropriate for an academic context and should have a focus suitable for a 6-8 page essay.
B. Research Guidelines
DIRECTIONS:
Refer to the list below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines.
1. Research Question and Working Thesis
Keep in mind:
The research question and working thesis are the driving force behind your research and eventual argument.
❒ Your research question should be a single sentence, framed as a question.
❒ Your working thesis should be a single focused sentence, framed as a statement that takes a clear position on the research question.
❒ Include your research question followed by your working thesis.
2. Detailed Outline
Keep in mind:
Your detailed outline provides a map of the argumentative research essay that you will write, including your key claims and the sources that support them. You may not have all your sources yet, and that is fine. The outline is a way to organize your essay and determine which areas (e.g. your sub-points) will require researched evidence as support.
❒ Headings: one for each paragraph with a brief label of the paragraph’s controlling idea(s); at least 7 body paragraphs, an introduction, and a conclusion
❒ Introduction includes your working thesis.
❒ Body paragraphs should each have their own unique title and key points.
❒ Conclusion includes notes on your final thoughts.
❒ Subheadings: two to five for each paragraph, below each heading, indicating key points that support the controlling idea
❒ Sources: one to three for each subheading, as relevant, indicating the support for the key point
❒ For each source, include the author’s name and the idea or information relevant to your argument (e.g. “Lappé on mono-cropping corn/soy and production”).
3. Reflection
❒ Have you displayed a clear understanding of the research activities?
❒ Have you answered all reflection questions thoughtfully and included insights, observations, and/or examples in all responses?
❒ Are your answers included on a separate page below the main assignment?

Higher Education for the Twenty-First Century: Re-designing Student Success
For essay #3, perform a significant revision to last unit's essay. Revise your work by doing the following:
• Include at least two additional outside perspectives on the future of higher education. (You will discover these outside perspectives by conducting
library research, and you will include them via quotation, paraphrase, and/or summary, which we will practice in this unit's discussion.)
• Argue for specific recommendations about how higher education could be re-designed for the students of the twenty-first century.
As you revise last unit's essays to meet these new goals, you may also expand, edit, restructure, and delete from your second essay, in order to make a
clear, effective argument about how to adjust college education for today's students. This unit's essay should not merely be last unit's with a few new
paragraphs tacked on, but should be a re-envisioned essay.
You might begin by designing a working thesis about how higher education needs to change. Then, begin researching what other writers have said
already about your ideas. Start with an search on your subject using the Park University McAfee Memorial Library’s Pirate Search feature
(http://www.park.edu/library/) , but also consider consulting Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com) . We will spend time this unit discussing and
analyzing sources together.
Think about what you would like to teach your readers about how higher education should change. Consider making precise, practical
recommendations. Be sure to provide explicit reasoning, and describe the implications of your ideas for today's college students of history. Make sure
that every paragraph of Essay #3 points your readers toward your particular focus and argument.
Some of you may find it possible to use some material from essay #2, and others will simply use essay #2 as a launching off point. Either way, I will be
looking for a revised thesis, enhanced supporting arguments, incorporation of new research, etc. Remember the difference between revision and
editing; this is a revision project, not an exercise in editing essay #2. In short, although you will use essay #2 as a basis, essay #3 should be a significant
re-envisioning, with a revised thesis and development. Essay #3 should have a new title to reflect this revised content.
Please craft a short description (this can be in bulleted list form if you would like) of the changes and transformations you made in revising essay #2 to
create essay #3. Submit this description as either a second file or as a new page (after Works Cited) at the end of your essay #3 file. Failure to submit
this required information will result in a letter grade deduction from essay #3.

LECTURE 2
Introduction
Learning to communicate appropriately and effectively in a variety of settings and in a variety of formats is an important skill in both academic and professional environments. In an online learning environment, learning to communicate effectively through writing is particularly important because it is, by far, how the majority of communication occurs. Review the learning objectives for this module within the course syllabus and use the following lecture, which is about various forms of written communication used in the online graduate setting, to accomplish them.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from a source material. Paraphrasing will help you grasp the full meaning of the source material and allow you to appropriately reference the source material to support your own ideas and academic writing. Paraphrased material is usually shorter and more concise than the original information. The following are some common guidelines taken from the Purdue Online Writing Lab (2012), which may assist you with learning to paraphrase information gathered from reading materials for use in completing your coursework.
Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
Set the original passage aside and, on a note card, write what you think the passage means in your own words (paraphrase).
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later of how you plan to use the information. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
Compare your paraphrase with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phrase you copied exactly from the original source.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can cite it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into a paper or discussion question response.
The following is an example of paraphrasing (Purdue OWL, 2012), which i.

Summary Exercise Instructions
For this assignment only, there is no draft option. You should simply submit your required final copy whenever you are ready. This assignment is designed to inform your larger research project.
Additional helpful resources:
Summary Exercise Rubric | Summary Exercise Sample 1 | Summary Exercise Sample 2
Option #1: Investigate and Interview
You have already chosen a topic and created a working thesis statement for your research paper topic. Find a non-profit organization (e.g., one that provides literacy instruction, a support group for cancer patients, a shelter that provides refuge for battered women) in your city that is connected to your topic. For example, if you are researching services for blind people, you might interview someone at the National Federation of the Blind.
Explain your assignment and request an interview with a staff member who is considered an expert in the field. Create 10 to 20 questions related to your thesis statement to ask the interviewee. For the writing assignment (Note that you should be conducting this interview yourself. You should not be summarizing an interview that someone else conducted):
· Create an introduction that includes the interviewee’s background. What is his/ her name? What is his/her position? How long has your interviewee worked at this organization, and what is his/her role there? These are just some of the questions that you can ask to help you build your introductory paragraph.
· Summarize the interviewee's responses in approximately three cohesive body paragraphs.
· Finish with a concluding paragraph that explains how this interview helped you better understand your chosen research paper topic.
Option #2: Getting What you Need from Periodicals
Locate credible sources for your chosen topic of the research paper project. Find at least five relevant sources from periodicals (Please do not use basic informative website such as ehow or Wikipedia. The source you choose will ideally be an academic or research-based article). From the sources that you find, choose one to summarize. The source you choose should be a credible periodical and not merely a random website. Also keep in mind that your chosen source should be research-based and non-fiction. For example, you should not summarize a short story for this assignment. Choose a source such as a journal article, an essay in an anthology, a magazine article, or a newspaper article. For this option, you might use this as a guideline for crafting your thesis statement: John Smith’s book The Guiding Light explained (add first paragraph focus), (add second paragraph focus), and (add third paragraph focus).
Here are some possible places to search for good sources:
· Internet Public Library: http://www.ipl.org/
· Google Scholar: http://scholar.google.com/ (note that this is different from regular Google)
· Microsoft Academic Search: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/

It is important to become familiar with the literature in your specialization area, so you understand what is known and how we know it. Of course, in order to become familiar with the literature, you need to be able to find resources and evaluate them—hence the need for library skills. Do you know which journals are most highly regarded in your specialization? Do you know how to use keywords effectively when searching or how to read an article and find the most important information to summarize? These are all skills you need, not just for the courses you will take here at Capella, but you will also need them when you enter your field and throughout your career.
Note: We encourage you to keep an annotated bibliography for each course you take at Capella. Keeping a record of the articles you have found can help you build a reference list that you can continue to refer to throughout your program, for your capstone, and in your career.
Preparation
Complete the following if you have not already:
1. Determine a research question from your specialization.
2. Determine keywords and conduct a search of the most appropriate Capella University Library databases to find relevant, scholarly articles.
3. Choose 3–4 peer-reviewed, scholarly articles related to your research question.

· Your ability to cite the quote in APA format
· Your ability to articulate your ideas grammatically
Overview
A summary/response is a natural consequence of the reading and annotating process. In this type of essay, writers capture the controlling idea and the supporting details of a text and respond by agreeing or disagreeing and then explaining why.
The first step after active reading is writing a summary. Writing summaries is a common practice in college. They pull together the general conclusions and approaches of experts who have done research in a particular subject. Summaries should be written in your own words although you could include short quoted excerpts if you decide the author’s or speaker’s words summarize a point most precisely. Try to use pertinent quotations from the source, working them in gracefully where appropriate. Probably the best way to write a summary is ask yourself the following questions:
--What issues are described, explained or resolved in this work? --What is the controlling idea?
--What are the supporting details?
--What results or conclusions are made?
--What opinion does the author want readers to keep in mind about this topic? --What information does the author use to convince readers?
After you have written your summary, double-check to be sure that all facts you included are correct.
Summary Writing Guidelines
To move from an outline to a draft of a summary, follow these guidelines:
1. a) State the author’s name and the title of the text you’re summarizing in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary.
2. b) Express the author’s main idea in your own words in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary (no more than three words in a row from the text you’re summarizing.).

In our society as we deal on a daily basis with threats and opportunities we often don’t consider the events that got us to where we are today. We just try to work ahead and make something that is new or better than what we perceive we have now. In doing so we may be repeating mistakes from the past and we may be overlooking some success that has already occurred. Itis important to know the history of the type of venture that we are engaged in so that we can use our time and resources efficiently. This can certainly be said of police/citizen relations.
For this week’s assignment consider how American policing has evolved from its earliest beginnings until now. Analyze the memorable events and remarkable people who influenced the development of our system and describe why changes were made and how effective they have been. Critically examine the early founding principles of policing, such as those suggested by Sir Robert Peel and apply those principles to what is actually happening today.
Write a 1 page APA style paper. Only the body of the paper will count toward the word requirement (title page and references are in addition to the 1 pages)
In your paper, cite at least 2-3 references using the APA style guide format for in-text citation.
Only one reference may be found on the internet. The other references must be found in the library (this includes EBSCO Host and the Gale Criminal Justice
Collection

Feminism
We will be working on strengthening our ability to properly cite our philosophers with this discussion post looking again specifically at author-date in-text citations. We will not be providing bibliographic entries for this post.
I have provided a copy of the notes from our earlier discussion below for reference.
For in-text citations we will use this recipe:
"These are some example words as might be quoted by a student of philosophy" (Author's Last Name Most Recent Copyright Date of the actual Text you are referencing, page number again from the actual text you are referencing). i.e. "But enough. It is now time to leave---for me to die, and for you to live--though which of us has the better destiny is unclear to everyone, save only to God" (Plato 2011, 50). This is a reference to our class's textbook so notice it is that copyright date and that page. Think of these citations as breadcrumbs that can lead your reader to the exact quote in the exact book so they can read more if they so choose.
Assignment:
This assignment is going to be a bit different than what we have done in the past as it will involve trying to put yourself into the headspace or mindset of another classmate.
Two Texts:
We have two (2) texts for this module on feminist theory and epistemologies. We have the French existential feminist philosopher Simone De Beauvoir whose introduction to the
The Second Sex
asks us to take a critical look at what society claims, demands, and promulgates that a woman is. We are introduced to a concept of gender as possibly being different than sex. We are provided with an idea that biology might be different than the socialization or social construction involved in performing a gender or being gendered. Her thoughts center around notions of freedom and the opposite, what is named by her (and also written about by Jean Paul Sartre) as acting in "bad faith". We often avoid our freedom by giving our choices to others. We treat ourselves (like we might poorly treat others) as objects rather than being authentic and participating in our own expansive transformative growth. Beauvoir provocatively then suggests that one is not born a woman but rather becomes one.
Maria Lugones and Elizabeth Spelman provide an overview and critique of feminist theories and the practices born of them. They expose the difficulties of theorizing for a broad array of women as though there might be some one-size-fits-all way of talking about the lives of women. They connect this historical difficulty in a delightful way to their own working relationship as being a Latina and a white/Anglo woman. Through their discussion we are given a retelling of the ongoing disappointment, not only of women often not being allowed a place to speak from, b.

Higher Education for the Twenty-First Century: Re-designing Student Success
For essay #3, perform a significant revision to last unit's essay. Revise your work by doing the following:
• Include at least two additional outside perspectives on the future of higher education. (You will discover these outside perspectives by conducting
library research, and you will include them via quotation, paraphrase, and/or summary, which we will practice in this unit's discussion.)
• Argue for specific recommendations about how higher education could be re-designed for the students of the twenty-first century.
As you revise last unit's essays to meet these new goals, you may also expand, edit, restructure, and delete from your second essay, in order to make a
clear, effective argument about how to adjust college education for today's students. This unit's essay should not merely be last unit's with a few new
paragraphs tacked on, but should be a re-envisioned essay.
You might begin by designing a working thesis about how higher education needs to change. Then, begin researching what other writers have said
already about your ideas. Start with an search on your subject using the Park University McAfee Memorial Library’s Pirate Search feature
(http://www.park.edu/library/) , but also consider consulting Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com) . We will spend time this unit discussing and
analyzing sources together.
Think about what you would like to teach your readers about how higher education should change. Consider making precise, practical
recommendations. Be sure to provide explicit reasoning, and describe the implications of your ideas for today's college students of history. Make sure
that every paragraph of Essay #3 points your readers toward your particular focus and argument.
Some of you may find it possible to use some material from essay #2, and others will simply use essay #2 as a launching off point. Either way, I will be
looking for a revised thesis, enhanced supporting arguments, incorporation of new research, etc. Remember the difference between revision and
editing; this is a revision project, not an exercise in editing essay #2. In short, although you will use essay #2 as a basis, essay #3 should be a significant
re-envisioning, with a revised thesis and development. Essay #3 should have a new title to reflect this revised content.
Please craft a short description (this can be in bulleted list form if you would like) of the changes and transformations you made in revising essay #2 to
create essay #3. Submit this description as either a second file or as a new page (after Works Cited) at the end of your essay #3 file. Failure to submit
this required information will result in a letter grade deduction from essay #3.

LECTURE 2
Introduction
Learning to communicate appropriately and effectively in a variety of settings and in a variety of formats is an important skill in both academic and professional environments. In an online learning environment, learning to communicate effectively through writing is particularly important because it is, by far, how the majority of communication occurs. Review the learning objectives for this module within the course syllabus and use the following lecture, which is about various forms of written communication used in the online graduate setting, to accomplish them.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from a source material. Paraphrasing will help you grasp the full meaning of the source material and allow you to appropriately reference the source material to support your own ideas and academic writing. Paraphrased material is usually shorter and more concise than the original information. The following are some common guidelines taken from the Purdue Online Writing Lab (2012), which may assist you with learning to paraphrase information gathered from reading materials for use in completing your coursework.
Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
Set the original passage aside and, on a note card, write what you think the passage means in your own words (paraphrase).
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later of how you plan to use the information. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
Compare your paraphrase with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phrase you copied exactly from the original source.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can cite it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into a paper or discussion question response.
The following is an example of paraphrasing (Purdue OWL, 2012), which i.

Summary Exercise Instructions
For this assignment only, there is no draft option. You should simply submit your required final copy whenever you are ready. This assignment is designed to inform your larger research project.
Additional helpful resources:
Summary Exercise Rubric | Summary Exercise Sample 1 | Summary Exercise Sample 2
Option #1: Investigate and Interview
You have already chosen a topic and created a working thesis statement for your research paper topic. Find a non-profit organization (e.g., one that provides literacy instruction, a support group for cancer patients, a shelter that provides refuge for battered women) in your city that is connected to your topic. For example, if you are researching services for blind people, you might interview someone at the National Federation of the Blind.
Explain your assignment and request an interview with a staff member who is considered an expert in the field. Create 10 to 20 questions related to your thesis statement to ask the interviewee. For the writing assignment (Note that you should be conducting this interview yourself. You should not be summarizing an interview that someone else conducted):
· Create an introduction that includes the interviewee’s background. What is his/ her name? What is his/her position? How long has your interviewee worked at this organization, and what is his/her role there? These are just some of the questions that you can ask to help you build your introductory paragraph.
· Summarize the interviewee's responses in approximately three cohesive body paragraphs.
· Finish with a concluding paragraph that explains how this interview helped you better understand your chosen research paper topic.
Option #2: Getting What you Need from Periodicals
Locate credible sources for your chosen topic of the research paper project. Find at least five relevant sources from periodicals (Please do not use basic informative website such as ehow or Wikipedia. The source you choose will ideally be an academic or research-based article). From the sources that you find, choose one to summarize. The source you choose should be a credible periodical and not merely a random website. Also keep in mind that your chosen source should be research-based and non-fiction. For example, you should not summarize a short story for this assignment. Choose a source such as a journal article, an essay in an anthology, a magazine article, or a newspaper article. For this option, you might use this as a guideline for crafting your thesis statement: John Smith’s book The Guiding Light explained (add first paragraph focus), (add second paragraph focus), and (add third paragraph focus).
Here are some possible places to search for good sources:
· Internet Public Library: http://www.ipl.org/
· Google Scholar: http://scholar.google.com/ (note that this is different from regular Google)

It is important to become familiar with the literature in your specialization area, so you understand what is known and how we know it. Of course, in order to become familiar with the literature, you need to be able to find resources and evaluate them—hence the need for library skills. Do you know which journals are most highly regarded in your specialization? Do you know how to use keywords effectively when searching or how to read an article and find the most important information to summarize? These are all skills you need, not just for the courses you will take here at Capella, but you will also need them when you enter your field and throughout your career.
Note: We encourage you to keep an annotated bibliography for each course you take at Capella. Keeping a record of the articles you have found can help you build a reference list that you can continue to refer to throughout your program, for your capstone, and in your career.
Preparation
Complete the following if you have not already:
1. Determine a research question from your specialization.
2. Determine keywords and conduct a search of the most appropriate Capella University Library databases to find relevant, scholarly articles.

· Your ability to articulate your ideas grammatically
Overview
A summary/response is a natural consequence of the reading and annotating process. In this type of essay, writers capture the controlling idea and the supporting details of a text and respond by agreeing or disagreeing and then explaining why.
The first step after active reading is writing a summary. Writing summaries is a common practice in college. They pull together the general conclusions and approaches of experts who have done research in a particular subject. Summaries should be written in your own words although you could include short quoted excerpts if you decide the author’s or speaker’s words summarize a point most precisely. Try to use pertinent quotations from the source, working them in gracefully where appropriate. Probably the best way to write a summary is ask yourself the following questions:
--What issues are described, explained or resolved in this work? --What is the controlling idea?
--What are the supporting details?
--What results or conclusions are made?
--What opinion does the author want readers to keep in mind about this topic? --What information does the author use to convince readers?
After you have written your summary, double-check to be sure that all facts you included are correct.
Summary Writing Guidelines
To move from an outline to a draft of a summary, follow these guidelines:
1. a) State the author’s name and the title of the text you’re summarizing in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary.
2. b) Express the author’s main idea in your own words in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary (no more than three words in a row from the text you’re summarizing.).

In our society as we deal on a daily basis with threats and opportunities we often don’t consider the events that got us to where we are today. We just try to work ahead and make something that is new or better than what we perceive we have now. In doing so we may be repeating mistakes from the past and we may be overlooking some success that has already occurred. Itis important to know the history of the type of venture that we are engaged in so that we can use our time and resources efficiently. This can certainly be said of police/citizen relations.
For this week’s assignment consider how American policing has evolved from its earliest beginnings until now. Analyze the memorable events and remarkable people who influenced the development of our system and describe why changes were made and how effective they have been. Critically examine the early founding principles of policing, such as those suggested by Sir Robert Peel and apply those principles to what is actually happening today.
Write a 1 page APA style paper. Only the body of the paper will count toward the word requirement (title page and references are in addition to the 1 pages)
In your paper, cite at least 2-3 references using the APA style guide format for in-text citation.
Only one reference may be found on the internet. The other references must be found in the library (this includes EBSCO Host and the Gale Criminal Justice
Collection

Feminism
We will be working on strengthening our ability to properly cite our philosophers with this discussion post looking again specifically at author-date in-text citations. We will not be providing bibliographic entries for this post.
I have provided a copy of the notes from our earlier discussion below for reference.
For in-text citations we will use this recipe:
"These are some example words as might be quoted by a student of philosophy" (Author's Last Name Most Recent Copyright Date of the actual Text you are referencing, page number again from the actual text you are referencing). i.e. "But enough. It is now time to leave---for me to die, and for you to live--though which of us has the better destiny is unclear to everyone, save only to God" (Plato 2011, 50). This is a reference to our class's textbook so notice it is that copyright date and that page. Think of these citations as breadcrumbs that can lead your reader to the exact quote in the exact book so they can read more if they so choose.
Assignment:
This assignment is going to be a bit different than what we have done in the past as it will involve trying to put yourself into the headspace or mindset of another classmate.
Two Texts:
We have two (2) texts for this module on feminist theory and epistemologies. We have the French existential feminist philosopher Simone De Beauvoir whose introduction to the
The Second Sex
asks us to take a critical look at what society claims, demands, and promulgates that a woman is. We are introduced to a concept of gender as possibly being different than sex. We are provided with an idea that biology might be different than the socialization or social construction involved in performing a gender or being gendered. Her thoughts center around notions of freedom and the opposite, what is named by her (and also written about by Jean Paul Sartre) as acting in "bad faith". We often avoid our freedom by giving our choices to others. We treat ourselves (like we might poorly treat others) as objects rather than being authentic and participating in our own expansive transformative growth. Beauvoir provocatively then suggests that one is not born a woman but rather becomes one.
Maria Lugones and Elizabeth Spelman provide an overview and critique of feminist theories and the practices born of them. They expose the difficulties of theorizing for a broad array of women as though there might be some one-size-fits-all way of talking about the lives of women. They connect this historical difficulty in a delightful way to their own working relationship as being a Latina and a white/Anglo woman. Through their discussion we are given a retelling of the ongoing disappointment, not only of women often not being allowed a place to speak from, b.

The claim is that screens have replaced face-to-face conversation as the primary way people now interact with each other. The support is provided by the driver of the car, who notes how much lonelier car trips have become, and the other passengers, all of whom are focused on their smartphones and tablets.
Analyzes warrant.
The implied warrant is that screen-based technology makes us more isolated and disconnected from each other.
Identifies backing.
The backing is also implied and reinforced by the picture. It suggests that road trips are valuable opportunities for connection and conversation that many families are giving up. It also reinforces the common belief that interacting with screens is more appealing than interacting directly with people face-to-face.
Infers rebuttal.
No direct rebuttal or qualifier appears in this cartoon. I think, however, that this cartoon could be considered as a rebuttal to those who think that screen-based communication is always superior to face-to-face communication. As a rebuttal, this cartoon highlights the negative consequences of embracing screen-based communication.
3. Write the warrants. Decide whether to spell out the warrants in your paper or to leave them implicit so that the reading audience will have to infer them.
4. Decide on the backing. Assume that your classmates are your audience. They may be reading drafts of your paper. In your judgment, will some of them require backing for any of your warrants because they will not agree with them otherwise? If so, how can you back these warrants? Write out your ideas.
5. Plan rebuttal. Think about the positions others may hold on this issue. You identified some of these positions in your exploratory paper. Write out your strategies for weakening these arguments.
6. Decide whether to qualify the claim to make it more convincing to more people. Write one or more qualifiers that might work.

(Sample) Safety and Health Training Plan 1.0 Intro.docxraju957290
(Sample)
Safety and Health Training Plan
1.0 Introduction
Training is one of the most important components within our company’s safety management system. It gives
employees an opportunity to learn their jobs properly, bring new ideas into the workplace, reinforce existing ideas
and practices, and it helps to put our Safety and Health Program into action.
Everyone in our company will benefit from safety and health training through fewer workplace injuries and illnesses,
reduced stress, and higher morale. Productivity, profits, and competitiveness will increase as production costs per
unit, turnover, and workers compensation rates lower.
2.0 Management commitment.
We (or company name) will provide the necessary funds and scheduling time to ensure effective safety and health
training is provided. This commitment will include paid work time for training and training in the language that the
worker understands. Both management and employees will be involved in developing the program.
To most effectively carry out their safety responsibilities, all employees must understand (1) their role in the program,
(2) the hazards and potential hazards that need to be prevented or controlled, and (3) the ways to protect themselves
and others. We will achieve these goals by:
• educating everyone on the natural and system consequences of their actions;
• educating all managers, supervisors and employees on their safety management system responsibilities;
• educating all employees about the specific hazards and control measures in their workplace;
• training all employees on hazard identification, analysis, reporting and control procedures; and
• training all employees on safe work procedures and practices.
Our training program will focus on health and safety concerns that determine the best way to deal with a particular
hazard. When a hazard is identified, we will first try to remove it entirely. If that is not feasible, we will then train
workers to protect themselves, if necessary, against the remaining hazard. Once we have decided that a safety or
health problem can best be addressed by training (or by another method combined with training), we will follow up by
developing specific training goals based on those particular needs.
Employees. At a minimum, employees must know the general safety and health rules of the worksite, specific site
hazards and the safe work practices needed to help control exposure, and the individual's role in all types of
emergency situations. We will ensure all employees understand the hazards to which they may be exposed and how to
prevent harm to themselves and others from exposure to these hazards.
We will commit available resources to ensure employees receive safety and health training during the circumstances
below.
• Whenever a person is hired --general safety orientation including an overview of company safety rules, and
why those r.

The monster called Artificial Intelligence
Thesis: Major laboratories have been built all over the world to prototype and generate intelligent machines through deep learning. In this paper, I will argue that Artificial Intelligence is a monster that the humans are feeding and it will one day turn and overthrow man, leaving the world in the hands of machines.
I. Introduction

B. Definition the terms intelligence, deep learning, programing, machine learning
C. History of artificial intelligence.
D. Major scientists who developed AI.
E. Trends in AI
II. Machine learning
A. Supervised learning

C. Comparison between supervised and non-supervised learning
III. Major advantages of AI
A. Real time assistance
B. In the business field
C. Industrialization
D. Efficiency
E. Accuracy
IV. Limitations of AI
A. Cost implication
B. Threats prevention
C. Loss of metal capability
D. Social factors
E. Ethical factors
F. Men becoming slaves
G. Emotions not guaranteed
H. Rigidity in thinking and execution of instructions
V. Criticism
The divine instruction was for man to steward and subdue the world, such innovations makes the human being achieve the divine instruction. This criticism is worth because it discusses part of the work in AI as divine instruction.
There is power and happiness if a creator creates something more powerful than itself. It is the happiness of a teacher to see their students do well and even pursue a course far much better. With such social theories supporting the work of artificial intelligence, it is making sense that the same AI should not be demonized but rather be seen as a human achievement.
VI. Conclusion
All the sections and subsections are discussed in a brief, precise and clear way ranging from the definitions, the implications and how negative artificial intelligence should be depicted in this section.

How the Media Distort Reality
TV and movie apologists are forever telling us that we have no business criticizing them because they are only holding a mirror up to reality. Many people buy that explanation, but they shouldn’t.
It would be more accurate to say the media hold a magnifying glass to carefully selected realities—namely, the most outrageous and sensational events of the day, such as the tragic deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Princess Diana, or the trials of celebrities such as O.J. Simpson, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jackson.
Consider how this happens. The first platoon of media people report the latest sensational story as it unfolds, squeezing each new development for all the airtime or newsprint it will yield. Meanwhile, agents and attorneys are negotiating the sale of movie and TV rights to the story. The sleazier the story, the greater
the payoff
. After the movie is produced, every situation comedy, detective show, and western drama builds an episode around the successful theme.
In this way a single despicable, disgusting act—real or imagined—can generate months of sensational media fare.
In short, the media exploit our social problems for ratings, feed us a steady
diet
of debasing material,
celebrate
irresponsible behavior, and then have the audacity to blame parents and teachers for the social problems that result.

Current Events Journal Assignment for Units 3-4
In Unit 3, we will be focusing on change and reform brought about as a result of the rapid social and economic changes of industrialization and urbanization. While the U.S. looked great from an outside perspective, with its rich flaunting their wealth and industry booming, it was riddled with exploitation of the people and political corruption, thus earning the name the Gilded Age. This brought in a sense of moral obligation and led to a reform movement that swept across the nation, with organization developing locally and nationally. This period of reform is known as the Progressive Era.
It was a time to expose the underlining errors of the U.S. society and to make changes for the good of the people. The Progressive Era would address a variety of issues, including factory and living conditions, agriculture reform, child labor, women’s rights, political reform, conservation, and other social concerns. While not perfect in its initial steps of change, this period will pave the way for continued social justice in our nation’s history.
Objectives:
Discuss the impact of political corruption on the U.S. government and evaluate the effectiveness of political reform.
Identify the leading reformers of the Progressive Era and evaluate the effectiveness of the reform movements.
Describe the problems facing farmers in the late 19th century and evaluate the effectiveness of the reform movement by the Populists and other farmers’ organizations and alliances.
Compare the Progressivism domestic and foreign policies of Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and William Howard Taft.
Unit 4 Imperialism and WWI
In Unit 4, we will focus on the role of the United States in World affairs. In the late 19th century, the United States not only sought to redefine itself as American, but also to establish its place in the global political arena. Foreign policies paralleled those of many European nations, with a focus on imperialism and preserving foreign interests and markets, specifically in the Western hemisphere. It will be the United States positioning in the Spanish-American war that marks the beginning of its imperial power, with future expansions and political involvement in Latin America and the Pacific Ocean.
At the turn of the century, the United States will feel the long-term effect of its imperialistic decisions. Being recognized as a World leader, involvement in international affairs now spanned beyond the Western Hemispher.

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.
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.

Notes for assistance
· There is no fixed way to answer the essay topic. Students are
being tested on their capacity to think critically and integrate
their learning gained in lectures and through their readings and
experience.
· ‘Discuss’ means you need to think about and write about the
different possibilities before you present a point of view. This
is likely to need both description and interpretation.
· Opinion must be supported by carefully selected and
authoritative evidence.
· Students are expected to use at least 10 refereed journal
articles in writing their essay.
A peer-reviewed or refereed journal is a scholarly journal
that requires submitted articles to be subjected to a process of
critical review by experts on the subject, known as referees,
before determining if the article is to be accepted for
publication.
Note: not every academic or scholarly journal is refereed or
peer-reviewed.
Be aware: not all articles contained in a refereed journal are
peer-reviewed!
As a rule of thumb, editorials, short items, book reviews and
letters to the editor are not peer reviewed. Brief commentaries,
short communications and conference papers are not peer-
reviewed either.
· Remember to arrive at a conclusion.
3. Essay Structure
An academic essay aims to persuade readers of an idea based on
evidence.
· An academic essay should answer a question or task.
· It should have a thesis statement (answer to the question) and
an argument.
· It should try to present or discuss something: develop
a thesis via a set of closely related points by reasoning and
evidence.
· An academic essay should include relevant examples,
supporting evidence and information from academic texts or
credible sources.
Basic steps in writing an essay
Although there are some basic steps to writing an assignment,
essay writing is not a linear process. You might work through
the different stages a number of times in the course of writing
an essay. For example, you may go back to the reading and note
taking stage if you find another useful text, or perhaps to reread
to locate specific information.Possible steps (In no strict order)
Analyse the question and define key terms
Establish a possible thesis/ point of view
Research the topic. Use at least 10 refereed journal articles for
support and evidence.
Take notes from your readings.
Write an essay plan and organise your ideas
Write a first draft to include your introduction, body and
conclusion
Set the draft aside for a day or two, then re-read and make
changes.
Have a friend/parent/colleague read it.
Edit and redraft your essay
Complete or finalise your references and citations
Complete your final draft and hand it in
4. Essay structure
Your essay will need the following:
An introduction which:
· sets out the context/background of your argument;
· introduces the content of the essay;
· introduces the theoretical perspectives you will be using;
· may define key terms (alternatively you can do the work of
definition in the second paragraph;
· sets out your thesis statement/line of argument/central
contention; and
· explains how the essay will be organised (order of points).
A body containing a number of paragraphs each of which will:
· present a topic sentence or central idea supporting your thesis
statement/line of argument/central contention;
· contain developing sentences which extend on or amplify the
topic sentence;
· give evidence/examples/references which support/relate to
your topic sentence; and
· provide a concluding/linking sentence;
A conclusion which:
· restates your thesis statement/line of argument/central
contention;
· summarises the points and evidence you provided to support
your thesis; and
· may suggest areas for further research/ investigation.
Other points to note:
Remember, if you are citing someone else’s opinion make sure
you include a reference. Referencing is a crucial part of
successful academic writing and is key to your assignments and
5. research. This is why it is included in the marking criteria.
Referencing Style
· In the Business school we use the Harvard style. There are
many varieties of the Harvard referencing system. We follow
the standards described in the 'Style Manual for Authors,
Editors and Printers' 6th edition, often referred to as the 'AGPS
Manual'. It is also referred to as the 'Snooks manual'. You can
access the Harvard SCU guide at
http://libguides.scu.edu.au/harvard
Formatting
· Times New Roman font 12 with 1.5 line spacing.
A few common errors/issues
· Please use Australian English. The Macquarie Dictionary
should be used to check spelling. Common errors include using
the letter ‘z’ instead of the letter ‘s’, for example in
organisation and deleting the letter ‘u’ in words that end in
‘our’ such as neighbour and colour. The only time non-
Australian English spelling should be used is when referencing
a document title written in non-Australian English such as the
‘World Health Organization Report’ or ‘The Center for
Engineering Research Report’. Remember, spelling checkers
may not be based on an Australian dictionary. (You can set the
Australian language as the dictionary in Word through the
‘Tools’ menu.)
· No colloquial words or phrases. Be precise as possible – no
generalisations.
· Write in the third person unless otherwise directed.
· Avoid slang terms, clichés and colloquial expressions.
6. · Avoid gender bias and sexist language.
· Avoid emotive language.
· Be direct – use the active rather than the passive voice.
· Be concise.
· Capitalisation: The current trend is to reduce the number of
words given initial capital letters. Unnecessary and
inappropriate capitalisation of words may make your document
appear old-fashioned. Capitals should only be used for the first
letter of the first word of a sentence and for the names of
particular people, places and things (proper nouns). Many
writers confuse names with descriptors or generic expressions
(words and phrases that are general terms rather than specific
names). Use capitals for names only. One way of differentiating
between names and descriptors is to ask yourself whether the
word or phrase names a particular thing or whether it refers to
something in a general sense only. Use capitals if it names a
particular thing and lower case if it is a general reference.
· Quote marks: Use single quote marks throughout your
document not double quote marks.

✪Further guiding principles will be provided in the assignment
resources area on the unit site, as well as a special Blackboard
Collaborate Session.

Decriminalization of Illegal Drugs: Ayes and Nays
The long drawn out “war on illegal drugs” has dismally failed
and the world’s legislators must come to the realization that
illegal drugs must consider decriminalizing the ‘commodity.’
Led by former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan,
the “war” has been a tremendous debacle for the international
community and has wreaked tremendous damage in various
nations. According to Annan, even with the tremendous amount
of resources and efforts allocated to eradicating the threat, the
rate of narcotics use has not gone down, and the global
community must consider jettisoning the present methodology
being employed to eliminate this threat (Boyle 1).
Advocates for disengaging from the failed drug policies
15. promoted by the United States believe that these laws infringe
on personal liberties. Others posit that the allocation of
enormous resources to eradicate this is a mammoth waste of
government funds; the argument is that the monies allocated to
fighting the drug menace is can be used to stimulate economic
activity, and the profits of the drug trade can help in funding
programs by way of taxes and at the same time send drug
traffickers into insolvency and regulate the quality of the drugs
being sold in the new market. Others carry a different
perception on the proposal to legalize narcotics. One school
believes that with the legalization of drugs, long term crime
statistics will decrease. On a more sociological aspect, there are
those that state those counternarcotics laws are a form of
institutionalized bigotry with the goal of maintaining the status
of fringe sectors as a perpetually vulnerable underclass, either
by sending the members of the society to prison, inordinately
dependent, or completely reliant on state welfare assistance.
There are still others inclined to cite the humanitarian aspect,
positing that a number of narcotics have verified medicinal
properties, and these properties should be enough basis to
justify their legitimization.
Though the majority of Americans are in favor of maintaining
the criminal nature of illegal narcotics in all its avenues, the
bulk of the literature of the “anti-legalization” has been written
from the law enforcement viewpoint. Though these also
acknowledge that the war against illegal drugs has somewhat
mixed results, these also believe that legalization of illegal
drugs will have devastating effects on American society.
Legalization of the drug trade will not reduce drug use; it will
drive the usage rate of illegal drugs through the roof. In
addition, youths will be more curious in using narcotics, and
worsen the already destructive effects of narcotics on American
society. The law enforcement viewpoint also proffers that state
backing narcotics abusers would inflict crushing effects on the
economy. Legalized narcotics would lead to a large “bootleg”
market; the drug abusers as well as the inveterate users, once
16. illicit drugs are legitimized, these would automatically become
straight, solid members of the society. Simply put, all the
declarations of those that advocate for the legalization of
narcotics will never be realized; on the contrary, legalizing the
illegal narcotics “trade” will increase crime rates given that
there will be a rise in the number of addicts and that the black
market will generate higher crime rates (Hartnett 1).
Legalization suggestions often generate fierce debates that
legitimizing narcotics will lead to a dramatic rise in the number
of abusers; however, researchers have found that there is no
direct correlation between legalizing narcotic use and a rise in
the number of users. For example, Argentina’s High Court
decided that it was illegal to mete out punishment for mere
possession of illegal drugs. Though the decision was interpreted
narrowly, the ruling ushered in legislation that would eventually
decriminalize illegal drug possession for personal use. Prior to
the Argentine ruling, Mexico’s legislature adopted a law that
sanctions possession of narcotics for personal use. In addition
to the law, Mexico’s government also increased funding for
treatment as well as prevention programs; individuals that are
arrested in possession of minimal amounts of illegal drugs will
be redirected to avail of treatment which will be mandatorily
applied after the person’s third arrest.
The logic behind the proffer is to refocus the resources of law
enforcement agencies from prosecuting and litigating drug users
and to target street dealers as well as large traffickers and
suppliers. Nevertheless, the law establishes a new threshold for
identifying users and traders, and implements stringent
penalties for low level drug trading, and can imprison
“recreational users. Other countries posit a more holistic
methodology on dealing with transitioning from a penal model
of addressing drug use to a more treatment based approach. For
example, Uruguay, a country that has not legitimized possession
of illegal narcotics for personal use, does not a “quantitative
cut-off” for establishing amounts to determine a “seller” from a
“user,” magistrates in complying with 1974 law examine the
17. particular factors and evaluate the reasons why the person was
in possession of the narcotics. A number of legal scholars see
this as unilateral; however, such leeway can stop users from
being imprisoned.
However, the country that has adopted the most far-reaching
retooling of their legal jurisprudence on drug possession is
Ecuador. The country’s Ministry of Justice is finishing
legislative proposals that would legalize the use of narcotics on
a personal level and guarantee a sense of proportion with
regards to sentencing in illegal drug cases. In the country’s
basic law, it treats addiction as a “public health issue” and
obligates government entities to establish intervention and
rehabilitative programs. Ecuador is widely known to have one
of the most rigid counter narcotics jurisprudence in the region.
For example, street dealers can face up to 10 to 25 years in
prison; a convicted killer faces a maximum sentence of up to
only 16 years. As a bridge measure prior to the adoption of the
new legal regime, President Rafael Correa reprieved more than
2,000 drug couriers who qualified under the government’s
criterions of being a first-time offender, these were arrested in
possession of carrying 2 kilograms of narcotics, and those
already incarcerated but have completed 10 percent of their
sentences or have been in prison for one year. Though there
has a rising trend for decriminalizing illegal drug use and
possession and the dearth of proof that any amendments to drug
use statutes have any impact on drug use statistics, critics are
anxious that legalization will “send the wrong message.” By
supporting the legalization of a previously prohibited
commodity, youths and children will be motivated to
experiment and can result in an increase in narcotic- oriented
crimes.
18. In Colombia, the trend is toward “decriminalization.” The
government has moved to re-establish the criminal nature of
possession to stymie the 1994 decision of the Colombian
Constitutional Court that ruled that sanctioning personal use of
narcotics is in violation of the country’s basic law. The Court
allowed Colombians to possess personal stocks of drugs; the
President, Alvaro Uribe, deemed this ruling as contradictory to
the stated goal of the government to eradicate the menace of
illegal drugs in the country (Youngers, Walsh 1).
In the proposal of the Global Commission on Drug Policy, the
group is seeking the sanctioning a number of illegal drugs and
establish monitored drug trading within their own states. The
plan goes above the prior call of the group for the global
community to discard its adherence to the almost century old
US-led battle against illegal drugs. This new call also goes over
the previous call of the group in 2011 to legitimize cannabis.
One of the group’s conveners, former President of Brazil, stated
that the group was seeking the legalization of “as many of the
drugs that are currently illegal as possible, with the
understanding that some drugs may remain too dangerous to
decriminalize.” The scheme comes in an era when a number of
countries, inclusive of a number of Latin American states, are
trying to restructure their respective counternarcotics laws, and
when the US is permitting states to adopt laws that will regulate
narcotics use (Sengupta 1). The irritation of Latin American
governments with the narcotics war is steadily rising. Stern
counternarcotics laws have floundered in their attempts to halt
rising narcotic use rates.
A number of countries are increasingly siding with the position
to decriminalize illegal narcotics as a new methodology in the
“fight against drugs.” These countries hope that with the
adoption of this new approach, consumption rates as well as the
attendant health issues will be effectively addressed. The
approach understands drug addiction as a “public health and
policy issue” compared to the present methodology that treats it
as a concern for the criminal justice system. The objective in
19. this endeavor is to embolden addicts to seek counseling; in
addition, by motivating abusers to seek help, this will wean
away from this lethal habit and decrease overcrowding in
prisons and will help in redirecting law enforcement agencies in
channeling the bulk of their resources to destroying large-scale
narcotics organizations (Youngers, Walsh, 1).
Though the Global Commission on Drug Policy group calls on
countries to persist in their fight against violent crime
syndicates, the group does not call on nations to legalize all
drugs outright. In addition, the group also calls on states to stop
arresting users and instead establish treatment and interdiction
programs in their place. Nevertheless, the proposal of the group
is expected to run into aggressive and hostile opposition from
global superpowers. The United States and Russia are inclined
to maintain stringent criminal punishments; in fact, a number of
countries in the Middle East, such as Iran, mete out the death
penalty on offenders (Sengupta 1).
The issue here cannot and must not be viewed in terms of
economics and damage individually. The menace of drug use
must be seen through the visors of both damage and economics.
There is a danger of a “slippery slope” here; governments and
vested parties can state that legal efforts against other crimes
are a losing proposition, and then move to legalize the same
with the professed objective of benefiting economically.
However, there is a need to stop applying economics and
implement safeguarding society from a menace, no matter how
beneficial it can be.

Discussion Topic
Question
Topic 1: The evolution of management
A management lecturer once said that for successful
management, studying the present was most important, studying
the past was next and studying the future was least important.
Do you agree/disagree? Why?
OR
Frederick Taylor focused on the need to carefully select, train
and support workers for individual task performance. Henri
Fayol suggested that managers should learn what are now
known as the management functions of planning, organising,
leading and controlling. Max Weber described a bureaucracy as
an ideal form of organisation. What can be learned from these
classical approaches to management?
Topic 2: The environment of management
Choose an organisation you are familiar with and outline some
proactive social responsibility strategies it has or could
potentially implement. What impact might this have on its
performance?
Note:
Ex for Social responsibility stratergy in this case: an shoes
company using wood to make box, when a customer buy a
shoes, so that shose will put in a box and give it to customer->
the social responsibility of shoes company is have to plant tree
cus they are using wood to make those box. If that company
good at social responsibility then more ppl will like or use more
products of that company.
22. OR
Think back to how things have changed in the past five years, in
terms of the role of the manager; at least, as you perceive it.
Taking the big-picture view, what changes do you see? For
example, is there greater or lesser emphasis on people against
profit, or on technology against entrepreneurship? Keep
these thoughts in mind as you progress through the unit.
Topic 3: Managing change
Why is innovation a key source of competitive advantage?
Identify any other organisational capabilities that might also
result in a competitive advantage?
Note:
Ex for innovation...competitive advantage: iphone vs samsung
compare managing role in the pass and future, managing ppl&
finance
OR
As a manager, how would you deal with resistance to change
when you suspect employee fears of job loss as well founded?
Topic 4: Human resource management
How can organisations develop and maintain a quality
workforce?
Note
Ex: Skill trainning-develope and maintenance-ppl work force
Topic 5: Individual behaviour in organisations
Which of the four components of emotional intelligence do you
consider most important to an effective manager in today’s
world? Why?
OR
What proactive approaches can managers take to combat the
23. growing stress levels in today’s workplace?
