Organizational Analysis
Write a 5-7-page paper on a conflict that he or she experienced in an organizational setting.
The submission must be typed, double-spaced, and have uniform 1-inch margins in 12-point Times New Roman font.
The organizational analysis will contain the following sections:
• Background and history that led to the conflict.
• How/why did the conflict escalate?
• How was the conflict resolved?
• What would the student have done differently, based on what he or she has learned in the class?
.
Organizational BehaviorThe field of organizational behavior ca.docxamit657720
Organizational Behavior
The field of organizational behavior can be organized around three levels: individual level, team level, and organizational level. In other words, some theories focus on factors influencing individual behavior (e.g., personality, motivation). Some theories focus on factors influencing team or group behaviors (e.g., group development, conflict, roles). Still other theories focus on factors that tend to operate at an organizational level (e.g., structure, culture, leadership).
During the course, you have studied a variety of theories and perspectives at all these levels. Which ones seem most meaningful to you?
For your last paper:
Select one theory or perspective that you have studied that seems to be an individual level theme. One that you have studied that seems to be a team level theme. And one that you have studied that seems to be an organizational level theme. Summarize what those theories are and why each pertains to its corresponding level (individual, team, or organization).
Analyze those three theories based on this question: Why do people do what they do in organizations? That is, how do the theories you have selected help explain "organizational behavior?"
What are the challenges, problems, or difficulties in behavior as suggested by each of your theories?
What are the potential strategies and solutions (to the challenges) as suggested by your theories?
How do your three theories seem to fit together? How do they seem to interact with each other? What important lessons can you derive from thinking about the interaction of the theories?
Submission Details:
Submit your answers in a 5 Microsoft Word document, using APA style.
Support your work with examples and research.
Name your document SU_MGT3002_W5_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.
Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

Organizational behavior is the combination of four areas of study—ps.docxamit657720
Organizational behavior is the combination of four areas of study—psychology, social psychology, sociology, and anthropology. While each of these areas involves an examination of people and their interactions, the focuses are quite different:
Psychology studies the mind and how people make decisions.
Social Psychology examines how people work in groups.
Sociology explores how systems work within the organization.
Anthropology examines how culture works within the organization.
Now, assume that you are an organizational consultant and have been asked by a new CEO to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.
Step 2 - Post a Response
Respond to the following.
Of the four areas of study listed above, which would you focus on first?
Make sure to explain why you chose this area, and why it would take precedence over the other areas.

Organizational CommunicationPeople in this organization don’t.docxamit657720
Organizational Communication
“People in this organization don’t talk to one another anymore. Everything is e-mail, e-mail, e-mail. If you are mad at someone, you can just say it and then hide behind your computer.” With these words, Joe expressed his frustrations with Delta General’s operations. Charley echoed his concerns, responding, “I agree, but surely the managing director should be able to improve organizational communication without losing the advantages of e-mail.” As a consultant overhearing this conversation, how do you suggest the managing director respond to Charley’s challenge?
Guided Response:
Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.

Organizational Culture Edgar H. Schein I I I I II I II .docxamit657720
Organizational Culture
Edgar H. Schein

ABSTRACT: The concept of organizational culture has
received increasing attention in recent years both from
academics and practitioners. This article presents the au-
thor's view of how culture shouM be defined and analyzed
if it is to be of use in the field of organizational psychology.
Other concepts are reviewed, a brief history is provided,
and case materials are presented to illustrate how to an-
alyze culture and how to think about culture change.
To write a review article about the concept of organiza-
tional culture poses a dilemma because there is presently
little agreement on what the concept does and should
mean, how it should be observed and measured, how it
relates to more traditional industrial and organizational
psychology theories, and how it should be used in our
efforts to help organizations. The popular use of the con-
cept has further muddied the waters by hanging the label
of"culture" on everything from common behavioral pat-
terns to espoused new corporate values that senior man-
agement wishes to inculcate (e.g., Deal & Kennedy, 1982;
Peters & Waterman, 1982).
Serious students of organizational culture point out
that each culture researcher develops explicit or implicit
paradigms that bias not only the definitions of key con-
cepts but the whole approach to the study of the phe-
nomenon (Barley, Meyer, & Gash, 1988; Martin & Mey-
erson, 1988; Ott, 1989; Smircich & Calas, 1987; Van
Maanen, 1988). One probable reason for this diversity of
approaches is that culture, like role, lies at the intersection
of several social sciences and reflects some of the biases
of eachwspecifically, those of anthropology, sociology,
social psychology, and organizational behavior.
A complete review of the various paradigms and
their implications is far beyond the scope of this article.
Instead I will provide a brief historical overview leading
to the major approaches currently in use and then de-
scribe in greater detail one paradigm, firmly anchored in
social psychology and anthropology, that is somewhat in-
tegrative in that it allows one to position other paradigms
in a common conceptual space.
This line of thinking will push us conceptually into
territory left insufficiently explored by such concepts as
"climate," "norm," and "attitude." Many of the research
methods of industrial/organizational psychology have
weaknesses when applied to the concept of culture. If we
are to take culture seriously, we must first adopt a more
clinical and ethnographic approach to identify clearly the
kinds of dimensions and variables that can usefully lend
themselves to more precise empirical measurement and

hypothesis testing. Though there have been many efforts
to be empirically precise about cultural phenomena, there
is still insufficient linkage of theory wit.
Organizational culture is so ubiquitous that it affects all area.docxamit657720
Organizational culture is so ubiquitous that it affects all areas of group life. Though organizational culture is not always immediately obvious in organizations, its outcomes (e.g., turnover, morale, productivity) can be. Some workplaces require employees to wear business attire whereas others allow employees to dress casually. In some workplaces, formal address is used and in others, people use first names regardless of position. Both examples reflect organizational norms, or “the way we do things around here,” otherwise known as
organizational culture
. Organizational culture may be subtle yet pervasive and may have a profound effect on employee attitudes and behavior.
Organizational culture affects each of the levels of organizational assessment: individual, small group, large group, intergroup, and organization. As an organizational consultant or practitioner, it is beneficial to have a
toolbox
of assessments for organizational evaluation for each of these levels. By assessing organizational culture, practitioners and consultants can then develop evidence-based interventions to address the issues identified by the assessment and evaluation processes.
Consider how the information above may be applied to the Greenvale Correctional Facility case study that follows.
Greenvale Correctional Facility is a large, privately-owned, medium-security prison in the southeastern United States. The prison opened in 1988, and, until recently, it employed 300 security, operational, facilities, maintenance, healthcare, and administrative employees.
The prison’s salary and benefit structure are comparable to other prison systems around the country. However, Greenvale is currently experiencing significant attrition, creating an unsafe and unstable environment, both for the inmates and remaining employees. Staff has reduced from 300 to 210 employees during the last 6 months, and attempts to recruit and hire new staff have been challenging. Online recruitment, employee sourcing, and participation in various job fairs have not created a plentiful base of trained, experienced employment candidates, and efforts to retain existing personnel have been unsuccessful. Exit interview data point to leadership issues, and poor working conditions.
Prison leadership is comprised of Warden Bob Jones, who started at Greenvale when it first opened; Sergeant Dave Lee, the senior-level correctional leader with over 15 years of experience; and Officer Stan Phillips, a correctional manager who joined the leadership team in 2015. All three leaders work collaboratively, but they tend to remain siloed away from the other employees. All of the prison’s communications are
top-down
and authoritative; the leadership team believes this style is necessary given the work environment and inherent risks involved. While the team believes they are fostering a management-by-objectives culture, many employees feel excluded from the process and perceive more of an in-group/out-group m.

Recall – Data Warehouse
▪ To address the drawback of operational database, and a need for decision-
making support data, data warehouse is needed.
▪ A data warehouse is a multi-dimensional view of databases, with
aggregates and pre-computed summaries.
➢ In many ways, it is basically doing aggregates in advance; that is exactly pre-
computation done at the design level, rather than at the query level.
Recall – Data Warehouse
Star Schema
▪ A Star Schema is a design representation of a multi-dimensional view. It is a
data modeling technique used to map multidimensional decision support
data into a relational database.
▪ The reason for the star schema’s development is that existing relational
modeling techniques: ER and normalization, did not yield a database
structure that served the advanced data analysis requirements well.
Star Schema Components
▪ There are Three main components of the Star Schema:
1. Facts
2. Dimensions
3. Attributes
Star Schema Components
1. Facts
Facts are numeric measurements (values) that represent a specific business aspect
or activity.
For example, sales figures are numeric measurements that represent product and/or
service sales.
2. Dimensions
Dimensions are qualifying characteristics that provide additional perspectives to a
given fact.
For example, sales might be viewed from specific dimension(s), such as sales
location, sales period, sales product, etc.
Star Schema Notation
▪ A Sales Star Schema
➢ Fact:
• Sales
➢ Dimensions:
• Time
• Product
• Branch
▪ Notation-wise, the Fact uses a bolder line, to differentiate between Fact
from Dimensions.
Star Schema Notation
▪ A Sales Star Schema
➢ Fact:
• Sales
➢ Dimensions:
• Time
• Product
• Branch
▪ The lines that represent a relationship
between the fact and dimensions can be
straight lines or bended lines.
Star Schema Notation
▪ Using the star schema notation, the
number of dimensions can be unlimited.
▪ If there is more dimensions, then we just
add more dimensions linked to the Fact.

3. Attributes
Each dimension table contains attributes.
For example:

Option A. You are a student at a New York City college in Septe.docxamit657720
Option A. You are a student at a New York City college in September, 1776. Write a letter home. You are asking for money. Work in a reference to what your parents do -- and are they your parents, or is one a step-parent? You could work in a little social history here, perhaps on high mortality rates. To sweeten your request, tell the people at home what's been going on in New York City. Mention two specific events you've witnessed. Finally -- is this a legitimate request? (Is your college still holding classes?) You'll have to cruise the internet for background information; just cite what you use. If you're feeling rather proud of what you've achieved, by the way, I'm giving you a benchmark against which to compare your efforts, a letter of
James Madison (Links to an external site.)
written in 1774.
Option B. This is a rather open question, and, again, you'll be cruising on the internet or using the library's resources. If you use Wikipedia, I ask that you go further; maybe you could consult one of the sources listed in the "reference section" usually included at the end of a Wikipedia article. What I would like you to do is to choose three of the Native American peoples that lived in the Ohio Valley between 1750 and 1850. Tell me who they are, what they have in common with each other, and some of the differences between each. Then, locate one myth told by these people. (You might start
here (Links to an external site.)
on the internet. The library has some material -- rummage! Search for "North American mythology;" I would consider an Iroquois myth as qualifying.) Tell me about the myth, and then tell me what this myth says about the culture of the people who produced it.
Essays are to be turned in as hard copy -- either printed, or hand-written. In either case, if you can manage it, double-space. I don't do a word count, but I expect some development. There should be an introductory paragraph, a body of the essay presenting your argument, with evidence (quotations or particular references are good), and a conclusion.
Grammar matters to me. Avoid sentence fragments; avoid misspellings and dangling modifiers.
If you use a source I haven't provided, then cite it. Don't copy word-for-word from what I provide unless you're using quotation marks; if it's not self-evident, tell me which source you've gotten your quotation from. Plagiarism rates an F.
There are due dates for each essay. Aim to get it in on the due date. I'll accept it up to 2 days later without penalty. Not after that.
You only need to do 3 essays, not all 4!

Organizational change initiatives are a team effort. It is the job of the leadership team to ensure that transition is a success. To do so, the right leaders must be put in place, and each must hold a thorough understanding of their roles and responsibilities.
Examine the
Delta Pacific Case Study
, then analyze the following:
· What are the challenges facing Delta Pacific?
· What change initiative would be most effective to implement within this organization?
· What type of change leaders need to be put in place? (Ex.: Change Lead, Change Managers, Change Analyst, etc.)
· What departments, areas, and stakeholders will each leader be responsible for?
· Where will each change leader be most effective?
· What roles will each change leader need to play at their level of influence?
Leadership Structure Plan
Utilizing the above information, create a
Leadership Structure Plan
that includes the following:
· At least three change leader positions to be put in place for the change initiative.
· Description of each change leader's roles and responsibilities.
· Account of departments they will lead.
· A short description of how each position will effectively aid in the success of the initiative.
Note: When creating your plan, think in terms of a job description and job analysis, and the detail used to specifically identify the roles and responsibilities of each particular job assignment. Â While this particular project does not have a page requirement, keep in mind that a thorough plan should be no less than 3 pages in length. Use headers for each category.
The paper should include an APA formatted cover page and reference page.

Option One—The Odyssey For the first option, focused solely on.docxamit657720
Option One—
The Odyssey
: For the first option, focused solely on Homer’s
Odyssey
, there are a variety of topics to choose from. Keep in mind that the questions under each topic are intended to stimulate your thinking—you are not required to address each and every one:
The Concept of Justice
: In the very first speech in the epic, Zeus claims that “mortals blame the gods. / From us alone, they say, come all their miseries, yes, / but they themselves, with their own reckless ways, / compound their pains beyond their proper share” (I. 37-40). This emphasis on human responsibility recurs throughout the epic, particularly regarding the suitors, yet at other times fate seems fixed. Consider the degree to which humans bring on their own destiny, and the degree to which fate appears to be decreed and unchangeable. In pondering this question, you might consider the function of prophecy, the role of the gods, and the force of human character on the events of the epic. In the world depicted here, how great a scope is allowed for human choice? Closely related to the question of justice is the question of human suffering. To what extent is suffering deserved?
The Wanderings of Odysseus
: Choose just one episode, or two that are related, in the wanderings of Odysseus as he relates them to the Phaeacians in Books IX-XII and consider how that episode relates to the epic as a whole. What important themes, motifs, and/or images are featured? How do they resonate with the larger themes of the epic?
Testing
: The epic is filled with contests, from tests of physical strength in Scheria and Ithaca to Odysseus’ testing of the members of his household, and their testing of him, to name just the most obvious. Why the emphasis on testing? What is being tested, and why?
Women
: Consider the role of women in the epic, whether mortal or divine. For what are they most praised? Most denigrated? You would do well to choose just one woman, or one contrasting pair (Helen and Penelope, for example) as you consider this question.
Fathers and Sons
: The epic begins with the story of Agamemnon and Orestes, and ends with the image of Laertes, Odysseus, and Telemachos fighting side by side; in between the epic is filled with fathers and sons. What appears to be valued in the father-son relationship?
Odysseus
: Consider the man himself—lying trickster or epic hero? A man of reckless daring or formidable self-restraint? Does he change or is his character consistent (or inconsistent!) throughout?
Option Two—Comparative Essay
: This option asks you to compare elements of
The Odyssey
and
Beowulf
. Both are classed as epics, with much in common, yet there are key differences. The choices below ask you to choose one specific element of the epic to focus on.
The Hero
: What is the most important or most interesting difference between Odysseus and Beowulf in terms of their character—who they are as individuals?
The Nature of Their Quests
: Consider the nature of .

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Organizational BehaviorThe field of organizational behavior ca.docxamit657720
Organizational Behavior
The field of organizational behavior can be organized around three levels: individual level, team level, and organizational level. In other words, some theories focus on factors influencing individual behavior (e.g., personality, motivation). Some theories focus on factors influencing team or group behaviors (e.g., group development, conflict, roles). Still other theories focus on factors that tend to operate at an organizational level (e.g., structure, culture, leadership).
During the course, you have studied a variety of theories and perspectives at all these levels. Which ones seem most meaningful to you?
For your last paper:
Select one theory or perspective that you have studied that seems to be an individual level theme. One that you have studied that seems to be a team level theme. And one that you have studied that seems to be an organizational level theme. Summarize what those theories are and why each pertains to its corresponding level (individual, team, or organization).
Analyze those three theories based on this question: Why do people do what they do in organizations? That is, how do the theories you have selected help explain "organizational behavior?"
What are the challenges, problems, or difficulties in behavior as suggested by each of your theories?
What are the potential strategies and solutions (to the challenges) as suggested by your theories?
How do your three theories seem to fit together? How do they seem to interact with each other? What important lessons can you derive from thinking about the interaction of the theories?

Organizational behavior is the combination of four areas of study—ps.docxamit657720
Organizational behavior is the combination of four areas of study—psychology, social psychology, sociology, and anthropology. While each of these areas involves an examination of people and their interactions, the focuses are quite different:
Psychology studies the mind and how people make decisions.
Social Psychology examines how people work in groups.
Sociology explores how systems work within the organization.
Anthropology examines how culture works within the organization.
Now, assume that you are an organizational consultant and have been asked by a new CEO to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.

Organizational Culture
Edgar H. Schein

ABSTRACT: The concept of organizational culture has
received increasing attention in recent years both from
academics and practitioners. This article presents the au-
thor's view of how culture shouM be defined and analyzed
if it is to be of use in the field of organizational psychology.
Other concepts are reviewed, a brief history is provided,
and case materials are presented to illustrate how to an-
alyze culture and how to think about culture change.
To write a review article about the concept of organiza-
tional culture poses a dilemma because there is presently
little agreement on what the concept does and should
mean, how it should be observed and measured, how it
relates to more traditional industrial and organizational
psychology theories, and how it should be used in our
efforts to help organizations. The popular use of the con-
cept has further muddied the waters by hanging the label
of"culture" on everything from common behavioral pat-
terns to espoused new corporate values that senior man-
agement wishes to inculcate (e.g., Deal & Kennedy, 1982;
Peters & Waterman, 1982).
Serious students of organizational culture point out
that each culture researcher develops explicit or implicit
paradigms that bias not only the definitions of key con-
cepts but the whole approach to the study of the phe-
nomenon (Barley, Meyer, & Gash, 1988; Martin & Mey-
erson, 1988; Ott, 1989; Smircich & Calas, 1987; Van
Maanen, 1988). One probable reason for this diversity of
approaches is that culture, like role, lies at the intersection
of several social sciences and reflects some of the biases
of eachwspecifically, those of anthropology, sociology,
social psychology, and organizational behavior.
A complete review of the various paradigms and
their implications is far beyond the scope of this article.
Instead I will provide a brief historical overview leading
to the major approaches currently in use and then de-
scribe in greater detail one paradigm, firmly anchored in
social psychology and anthropology, that is somewhat in-
tegrative in that it allows one to position other paradigms
in a common conceptual space.
This line of thinking will push us conceptually into
territory left insufficiently explored by such concepts as
"climate," "norm," and "attitude." Many of the research
methods of industrial/organizational psychology have
weaknesses when applied to the concept of culture. If we
are to take culture seriously, we must first adopt a more
clinical and ethnographic approach to identify clearly the
kinds of dimensions and variables that can usefully lend
themselves to more precise empirical measurement and

hypothesis testing. Though there have been many efforts
to be empirically precise about cultural phenomena, there
is still insufficient linkage of theory wit.
Organizational culture is so ubiquitous that it affects all area.docxamit657720
Organizational culture is so ubiquitous that it affects all areas of group life. Though organizational culture is not always immediately obvious in organizations, its outcomes (e.g., turnover, morale, productivity) can be. Some workplaces require employees to wear business attire whereas others allow employees to dress casually. In some workplaces, formal address is used and in others, people use first names regardless of position. Both examples reflect organizational norms, or “the way we do things around here,” otherwise known as
organizational culture
. Organizational culture may be subtle yet pervasive and may have a profound effect on employee attitudes and behavior.
Organizational culture affects each of the levels of organizational assessment: individual, small group, large group, intergroup, and organization. As an organizational consultant or practitioner, it is beneficial to have a
toolbox
of assessments for organizational evaluation for each of these levels. By assessing organizational culture, practitioners and consultants can then develop evidence-based interventions to address the issues identified by the assessment and evaluation processes.
Consider how the information above may be applied to the Greenvale Correctional Facility case study that follows.
Greenvale Correctional Facility is a large, privately-owned, medium-security prison in the southeastern United States. The prison opened in 1988, and, until recently, it employed 300 security, operational, facilities, maintenance, healthcare, and administrative employees.
The prison’s salary and benefit structure are comparable to other prison systems around the country. However, Greenvale is currently experiencing significant attrition, creating an unsafe and unstable environment, both for the inmates and remaining employees. Staff has reduced from 300 to 210 employees during the last 6 months, and attempts to recruit and hire new staff have been challenging. Online recruitment, employee sourcing, and participation in various job fairs have not created a plentiful base of trained, experienced employment candidates, and efforts to retain existing personnel have been unsuccessful. Exit interview data point to leadership issues, and poor working conditions.
Prison leadership is comprised of Warden Bob Jones, who started at Greenvale when it first opened; Sergeant Dave Lee, the senior-level correctional leader with over 15 years of experience; and Officer Stan Phillips, a correctional manager who joined the leadership team in 2015. All three leaders work collaboratively, but they tend to remain siloed away from the other employees. All of the prison’s communications are
top-down
and authoritative; the leadership team believes this style is necessary given the work environment and inherent risks involved. While the team believes they are fostering a management-by-objectives culture, many employees feel excluded from the process and perceive more of an in-group/out-group m.

Recall – Data Warehouse
▪ To address the drawback of operational database, and a need for decision-
making support data, data warehouse is needed.
▪ A data warehouse is a multi-dimensional view of databases, with
aggregates and pre-computed summaries.
➢ In many ways, it is basically doing aggregates in advance; that is exactly pre-
computation done at the design level, rather than at the query level.
Recall – Data Warehouse
Star Schema
▪ A Star Schema is a design representation of a multi-dimensional view. It is a
data modeling technique used to map multidimensional decision support
data into a relational database.
▪ The reason for the star schema’s development is that existing relational
modeling techniques: ER and normalization, did not yield a database
structure that served the advanced data analysis requirements well.
Star Schema Components
▪ There are Three main components of the Star Schema:
1. Facts
2. Dimensions
3. Attributes
Star Schema Components
1. Facts
Facts are numeric measurements (values) that represent a specific business aspect
or activity.
For example, sales figures are numeric measurements that represent product and/or
service sales.
2. Dimensions
Dimensions are qualifying characteristics that provide additional perspectives to a
given fact.
For example, sales might be viewed from specific dimension(s), such as sales
location, sales period, sales product, etc.
Star Schema Notation
▪ A Sales Star Schema
➢ Fact:
• Sales
➢ Dimensions:
• Time
• Product
• Branch
▪ Notation-wise, the Fact uses a bolder line, to differentiate between Fact
from Dimensions.
Star Schema Notation
▪ A Sales Star Schema
➢ Fact:
• Sales
➢ Dimensions:
• Time
• Product
• Branch
▪ The lines that represent a relationship
between the fact and dimensions can be
straight lines or bended lines.
Star Schema Notation
▪ Using the star schema notation, the
number of dimensions can be unlimited.
▪ If there is more dimensions, then we just
add more dimensions linked to the Fact.

Option A. You are a student at a New York City college in September, 1776. Write a letter home. You are asking for money. Work in a reference to what your parents do -- and are they your parents, or is one a step-parent? You could work in a little social history here, perhaps on high mortality rates. To sweeten your request, tell the people at home what's been going on in New York City. Mention two specific events you've witnessed. Finally -- is this a legitimate request? (Is your college still holding classes?) You'll have to cruise the internet for background information; just cite what you use. If you're feeling rather proud of what you've achieved, by the way, I'm giving you a benchmark against which to compare your efforts, a letter of
James Madison (Links to an external site.)
written in 1774.
Option B. This is a rather open question, and, again, you'll be cruising on the internet or using the library's resources. If you use Wikipedia, I ask that you go further; maybe you could consult one of the sources listed in the "reference section" usually included at the end of a Wikipedia article. What I would like you to do is to choose three of the Native American peoples that lived in the Ohio Valley between 1750 and 1850. Tell me who they are, what they have in common with each other, and some of the differences between each. Then, locate one myth told by these people. (You might start
here (Links to an external site.)
on the internet. The library has some material -- rummage! Search for "North American mythology;" I would consider an Iroquois myth as qualifying.) Tell me about the myth, and then tell me what this myth says about the culture of the people who produced it.
Essays are to be turned in as hard copy -- either printed, or hand-written. In either case, if you can manage it, double-space. I don't do a word count, but I expect some development. There should be an introductory paragraph, a body of the essay presenting your argument, with evidence (quotations or particular references are good), and a conclusion.
Grammar matters to me. Avoid sentence fragments; avoid misspellings and dangling modifiers.
If you use a source I haven't provided, then cite it. Don't copy word-for-word from what I provide unless you're using quotation marks; if it's not self-evident, tell me which source you've gotten your quotation from. Plagiarism rates an F.
There are due dates for each essay. Aim to get it in on the due date. I'll accept it up to 2 days later without penalty. Not after that.
You only need to do 3 essays, not all 4!

Organizational change initiatives are a team effort. It is the job of the leadership team to ensure that transition is a success. To do so, the right leaders must be put in place, and each must hold a thorough understanding of their roles and responsibilities.
Examine the
Delta Pacific Case Study
, then analyze the following:
· What are the challenges facing Delta Pacific?
· What change initiative would be most effective to implement within this organization?
· What type of change leaders need to be put in place? (Ex.: Change Lead, Change Managers, Change Analyst, etc.)
· What departments, areas, and stakeholders will each leader be responsible for?
· Where will each change leader be most effective?
· What roles will each change leader need to play at their level of influence?
Leadership Structure Plan
Utilizing the above information, create a
Leadership Structure Plan
that includes the following:
· At least three change leader positions to be put in place for the change initiative.
· Description of each change leader's roles and responsibilities.
· Account of departments they will lead.
· A short description of how each position will effectively aid in the success of the initiative.
Note: When creating your plan, think in terms of a job description and job analysis, and the detail used to specifically identify the roles and responsibilities of each particular job assignment. Â While this particular project does not have a page requirement, keep in mind that a thorough plan should be no less than 3 pages in length. Use headers for each category.
The paper should include an APA formatted cover page and reference page.

Option One—The Odyssey For the first option, focused solely on.docxamit657720
Option One—
The Odyssey
: For the first option, focused solely on Homer’s
Odyssey
, there are a variety of topics to choose from. Keep in mind that the questions under each topic are intended to stimulate your thinking—you are not required to address each and every one:
The Concept of Justice
: In the very first speech in the epic, Zeus claims that “mortals blame the gods. / From us alone, they say, come all their miseries, yes, / but they themselves, with their own reckless ways, / compound their pains beyond their proper share” (I. 37-40). This emphasis on human responsibility recurs throughout the epic, particularly regarding the suitors, yet at other times fate seems fixed. Consider the degree to which humans bring on their own destiny, and the degree to which fate appears to be decreed and unchangeable. In pondering this question, you might consider the function of prophecy, the role of the gods, and the force of human character on the events of the epic. In the world depicted here, how great a scope is allowed for human choice? Closely related to the question of justice is the question of human suffering. To what extent is suffering deserved?
The Wanderings of Odysseus
: Choose just one episode, or two that are related, in the wanderings of Odysseus as he relates them to the Phaeacians in Books IX-XII and consider how that episode relates to the epic as a whole. What important themes, motifs, and/or images are featured? How do they resonate with the larger themes of the epic?
Testing
: The epic is filled with contests, from tests of physical strength in Scheria and Ithaca to Odysseus’ testing of the members of his household, and their testing of him, to name just the most obvious. Why the emphasis on testing? What is being tested, and why?
Women
: Consider the role of women in the epic, whether mortal or divine. For what are they most praised? Most denigrated? You would do well to choose just one woman, or one contrasting pair (Helen and Penelope, for example) as you consider this question.
Fathers and Sons
: The epic begins with the story of Agamemnon and Orestes, and ends with the image of Laertes, Odysseus, and Telemachos fighting side by side; in between the epic is filled with fathers and sons. What appears to be valued in the father-son relationship?
Odysseus
: Consider the man himself—lying trickster or epic hero? A man of reckless daring or formidable self-restraint? Does he change or is his character consistent (or inconsistent!) throughout?
Option Two—Comparative Essay
: This option asks you to compare elements of
The Odyssey
and
Beowulf
. Both are classed as epics, with much in common, yet there are key differences. The choices below ask you to choose one specific element of the epic to focus on.
The Hero
: What is the most important or most interesting difference between Odysseus and Beowulf in terms of their character—who they are as individuals?
The Nature of Their Quests
: Consider the nature of .

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
