2012.09.05 The Management of Human Resources and the Governance of Employment
This document discusses the governance of employment and human resource management. It argues that while HRM focuses on managing people within organizations, governance looks at the wider social context and actors involved in governing work. Governance recognizes the complexity, distributed nature, dynamism and contingency of the social, economic and political factors influencing work. The governance of employment involves many actors like government, employers, unions, training providers operating through hierarchies, markets and networks to shape labor markets, vocational education and training policy. The document examines reforms to vocational training policy and institutions over time in the UK and Ireland as an example of the challenges of establishing stable governance arrangements.
Cowboys And Cattlemen
The early cattle trade in Texas grew out of large herds of unbranded longhorn cattle after the region became part of the US in 1845. As the railroad expanded following the Civil War, cattle were driven hundreds of miles north on long trails to railheads, where they could fetch higher prices and be transported east. This drove the establishment of cow towns along the trails. However, by the 1880s the open range cattle industry declined due to overgrazing of lands and severe winters, marking the end of the large-scale cattle drives.
Chapter 4
The document discusses the history and development of law enforcement in the United States from colonial times to present day. It describes how early policing mirrored the English system and involved night watches.

The document outlines the main responsibilities of police and lists the primary types of law enforcement agencies, including over 17,500 total across various levels of government employing over 1 million people.
Law And Order In The West
The document discusses law and order in the American West during the late 19th century. It describes the various law enforcement roles like US Marshals, deputies, town marshals, and sheriffs who enforced federal and local laws. It also discusses vigilante groups and miners courts that dispensed justice when official law enforcement was absent. The document focuses on the Johnson County War, where powerful cattle barons in Wyoming brought in gunmen to attack small farmers they accused of cattle rustling, but the farmers fought back effectively. This marked a decline in the power of cattle barons and the end of the Wild West era.

Week 3 Assignment: Literary Analysis Draft
Link to Video Transcript
For your Week Three assignment, you will write a two and a half page draft (excluding the title and references page) of your Week Five Literary Analysis. The draft should contain a working thesis (which you wrote in the Week One assignment), an introduction, at least three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Be sure to include some paraphrases and quotations of the reference material in your Week Two Annotated Bibliography. You should use your research to help you develop and support the thesis.
· Copy and paste the writing prompt you chose to explore in Week One at the beginning of your draft (this will help your instructor see if you focused well on the prompt).
· Restate your working thesis after the copy-and-paste prompt.
· Develop your working thesis based on the feedback you have received. Again, the thesis should offer a debatable claim in response to one of the prompts on the list.
· Analyze the literary work(s) from the approved list of prompts chosen in Week One that pertained to your selected topic and include the three key ideas developed in the Week One Proposal.
· Focus on one or two primary text(s).
· Include references from at least two secondary sources identified on your Week Two Annotated Bibliography. More sources are not necessarily better.
· Apply your knowledge of literary elements and other concepts in your response to the prompt. Reference the List of Literary Techniques.
· Avoid any use of the first person.
· Do not summarize the plot.

Writing Prompt #1
Write an analysis of a key character in a literary work. Focus on two or three key actions of that character. Discuss the character’s motivations and decisions in terms you can support with clear evidence from a critical reading of the text. Consider whether this character’s actions fit together or contradict each other. You may also want to consider whether or not any other characters in the story are aware of this conflict, and if so, how they influence the character you are writing about.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
