Mark volunteered to help with a community arts festival. However, his good intentions backfired when the retail store's phone number he provided was printed incorrectly in festival advertisements, overloading phone lines and annoying the store manager. As a result, Mark lost his job as assistant manager, even though he had only meant to support the not-for-profit organization. The Board of Directors did not investigate when Mark requested one, leaving him without work and wondering what went wrong when he tried to do a good deed.

You will identify a problem that requires a change initiative through an organization with which you are associated. You will develop the final case by clearly explaining the problem, by including background, and by completing all of the tasks that are identified below. If you are uncomfortable with using your organization or do not have sufficient visibility to a problem in your organization, you may use theNo Good Deedcase instead.
Here are the tasks to be completed:
1. Use the 6681 case outline mar9'17 (1).docxDownload 6681 case outline mar9'17 (1).docx to help you structure the case in a logical manner.
2. Identify the symptoms that trigger your awareness of the need for change. This is a short explanation that does not require you to describe everything about your organization. Instead, list the set of symptoms that arise from your organization’s current manner of doing business.
3. Choose one of the following diagnostic models and explain each and every component of that model to fully analyze where the real problem exists.
1. The diagnostic models that you may use are: Six-Box, 7-S, or Star. To use these models correctly, you must discuss, comprehensively, each component of the model as it relates to the case.
2. Do not describe the model for the reader. Instead, explain why you chose the model that you chose as the diagnostic guide.
3. Then, explain your analysis of each model component.
4. Do NOT give recommendations in this section. This section is about analysis only. The analysis section describes current conditions.

After the reading the Issues & Applications in your etext: Interpreting Employment Data as the Gig Economy Grows and researching online how Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance are more specifically funded, please answer the following questions:
a. Why might the U.S. government, which funds Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance programs by taxing wages, desire to find a way to reduce self-employment and inhibit the growth of the gig economy?
b. Do you see the growth of the gig economy as a positive or negative trend in the economy? Explain.
The government might desire to reduce self-employment and inhibit the gig economy due to its impact on full time employees. The gig economy can make it harder for employees to develop fully in their career when there are temporary employees that are cheaper and more flexible. This can disrupt the traditional work settings like stability and security. The gig economy can also negatively affect building long-term relationships due to lack of familiarity and trust. I personally am not for or against the growth of the gig economy. In our generation, I see the growth in independent individual companies and entrepreneurs and the idea of flexibility makes sense. I also understand the need for stability and security with full time employment opportunities.
Manuel Garza
Question A
The government wants to have a gig economy because the employee pays the taxes at whatever the rate is while the self-employed person pays the taxes and can still deduct that tax rate in the itemization section.
Question B
I see the gig economy as both, and it depends on the worker and if they want to assume the liability. A self-employed person assumes all the liabilities including the taxes where a gig worker doesn't because they are employed by a company. I don't know where it's at now but when I was growing up, there was a surge of people doing the self-employed jobs because it gave more freedom and allowed them to do as they pleased. You can turn down work or take work as it fits your schedule. So I would say the gig is a safe bet but not negative or positive.

ritten Assignment 1: Biology and Technology in the Real World
Background
:
This assignment will give you the opportunity to participate in ongoing scientific research. For the past several years, I have been involved in ecological research in old-growth forests in Wisconsin. In many areas the forest floor is dominated by a grasslike species, Pennsylvania sedge (
Carex pensylvanica
). The sedge may exclude other ground species by interspecific competition, which may decrease the number of species in an area, which is a main component of biodiversity. The Penn sedge "lawns" are probably caused by selective herbivory by an abundance of white-tailed deer. The deer do not like the sedge but consume most other ground plants. [Please read OLI Module 51 for information on interspecific competition & herbivory and Module 53 on biodiversity.]
Another problem in the forests is that dominant trees, such as white pine and sugar maple, do not show successful reproduction to replace the old pines and maples that die, which leads to the question - does Pennsylvania sedge decrease the establishment of tree seedlings? With support from a UMUC Faculty Research Grant to create this assignment, I collected data last summer that you can use to test three hypotheses-
Hypotheses
A. Pennsylvania sedge inhibits regeneration of white pine
B. Pennsylvania sedge inhibits regeneration of sugar maple
C. Pennsylvania sedge decreases biodiversity
Choice of Study Site - Practice with Google Earth:
Most, if not all, students are familiar with the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) to navigate. I assume that many of you are also familiar with Google Earth, an interactive aerial map of the globe. It is a very useful tool. When we lived in Okinawa, we chose a home to rent before our 2011 move to Rhode Island by investigating the property and its environs on Google Earth, and are very happy with our choice. Google Earth can be downloaded free at earth.google.com
I also make use of Google Earth in choosing study sites for my research, especially when I was searching for remaining old-growth white pine forests in Upper Michigan. For practice with this relatively-new technology, I have included an exercise involving Google Earth with this assignment (under "Report" below).
Methods of Data Collection
Data were collected during 2-4 August 2013 in a study plot within a forest dominated by trees of sugar maple, red oak, and red maple at Trout Lake Cathedral Point, Vilas County, Wisconsin (Figure 1). All ground species were identified in 2- x 2-meter quadrats that were positioned as a strip of adjacent quadrats in transects of adjacent across the plot. In ecology, a quadrat is defined as a sample area and a transect is a sample line. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the method of transects of continuous quadrats. Within each of the sample quadrats, the percent cover of Penn sedge was estimated and all established tree seedlings (defined as > 20 cm in .

For the remainder of the course, we will focus on drafting and refining your paper; that effort begins with the draft you’ll write this week. By now you’ve conducted library and Internet research for information to support your topic. You’ve read a variety of sources of research. You’ve also written assignments over the past few weeks that contain material that you can incorporate into the draft. Now you will combine the components into the paragraphs and pages of your project. This week, you’ll plan your Course Project and write the first two sections.
How do you get there? It’s not as difficult as you might think.
General Organization of an Argument
Back to Top
If you’ve ever watched a courtroom scene, you’re familiar with the basic organization that is used to persuade an audience using an argument. One side introduces an issue, usually with background information. The opposing argument is stated and then taken apart point by point to create reasonable doubt. The audience is then presented with the main argument. The main argument is presented logically so that the audience can easily follow. This means that one section is presented at a time, each one supported by reasonable evidence from experts, witnesses, or personal testimony. The argument ends with a conclusion asserting the final persuasive points that are left to the audience to make a conclusion about.
Similarly the Course Project will have a recognizable structure.

Writing Assignment #2: Supreme Court Decision
In this assignment, you will be a Supreme Court Justice deciding on a Fourth Amendment case.
Carefully read about the case in question, the summaries of related Supreme Court decisions, and directions for the assignment.
The Case “Doe v. City of Intrusia”:
Trouble was brewing in the small, quiet city of Intrusia.
Someone was selling methamphetamine to the local teenagers and a popular football player died after an overdose.
The community was panicked and demanded that the police find the source of the meth and shut it down immediately.
The police suspected that 20 year old Joe Doe was selling the meth but they didn’t have much evidence.
The state prosecutor advised the police department to talk with the local cell phone carrier about “cloning” Mr. Doe’s phone.
The cell phone carrier created a “clone” phone which allowed the police to read text messages sent and received by Mr. Doe.
In no time the police had evidence implicating Mr. Doe as a dealer and the location of the meth lab.
Mr. Doe was convicted and the meth lab was closed.
Mr. Doe is appealing his conviction, claiming that the interception of text messages violated the unreasonable search and seizure protections of the Fourth Amendment.
Furthermore, all evidence from the text messages should have been excluded from his trial.
The City of Intrusia argues that there was no physical intrusion into Mr. Doe’s space and that police were acting quickly in order to uphold their duty to protect the community’s safety.
Background:
In Silverman v. United States the Supreme Court held that that the Fourth Amendment does not protect conversations, therefore wiretapping does not constitute a search and seizure.
The case was reversed in Katz v. United States, when Justice Harlan proposed a two pronged test of whether public actions should be considered private and therefore protected.
1)
Has the person exhibited an expectation of privacy?
and 2) is the expectation of privacy one that society is prepared to recognize as 'reasonable.'?
In more recent decisions, the Supreme Court has found that society is not prepared to extend privacy rights to bank customers regarding their bank statements and that society was not prepared to recognize a privacy right-to grow a backyard crop of marijuana.
The Questions:
·
Does the Fourth Amendment protect text messages sent over a cell phone?
·
Is there a “reasonable expectation of privacy” when texts are sent?
o
Did Mr. Doe exhibit an expectation of privacy when he sent the texts?
o
Is there a societal expectation of privacy in the process of text messaging?

Nikki Davis
After the reading the Issues & Applications in your etext: Interpreting Employment Data as the Gig Economy Grows and researching online how Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance are more specifically funded, please answer the following questions:
a. Why might the U.S. government, which funds Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance programs by taxing wages, desire to find a way to reduce self-employment and inhibit the growth of the gig economy?
b. Do you see the growth of the gig economy as a positive or negative trend in the economy? Explain.
The government might desire to reduce self-employment and inhibit the gig economy due to its impact on full time employees. The gig economy can make it harder for employees to develop fully in their career when there are temporary employees that are cheaper and more flexible. This can disrupt the traditional work settings like stability and security. The gig economy can also negatively affect building long-term relationships due to lack of familiarity and trust. I personally am not for or against the growth of the gig economy. In our generation, I see the growth in independent individual companies and entrepreneurs and the idea of flexibility makes sense. I also understand the need for stability and security with full time employment opportunities.
Manuel Garza
Question A
The government wants to have a gig economy because the employee pays the taxes at whatever the rate is while the self-employed person pays the taxes and can still deduct that tax rate in the itemization section.
Question B
I see the gig economy as both, and it depends on the worker and if they want to assume the liability. A self-employed person assumes all the liabilities including the taxes where a gig worker doesn't because they are employed by a company. I don't know where it's at now but when I was growing up, there was a surge of people doing the self-employed jobs because it gave more freedom and allowed them to do as they pleased. You can turn down work or take work as it fits your schedule. So I would say the gig is a safe bet but not negative or positive.

ritten Assignment 1: Biology and Technology in the Real World
Background
:
This assignment will give you the opportunity to participate in ongoing scientific research. For the past several years, I have been involved in ecological research in old-growth forests in Wisconsin. In many areas the forest floor is dominated by a grasslike species, Pennsylvania sedge (
Carex pensylvanica
). The sedge may exclude other ground species by interspecific competition, which may decrease the number of species in an area, which is a main component of biodiversity. The Penn sedge "lawns" are probably caused by selective herbivory by an abundance of white-tailed deer. The deer do not like the sedge but consume most other ground plants. [Please read OLI Module 51 for information on interspecific competition & herbivory and Module 53 on biodiversity.]
Another problem in the forests is that dominant trees, such as white pine and sugar maple, do not show successful reproduction to replace the old pines and maples that die, which leads to the question - does Pennsylvania sedge decrease the establishment of tree seedlings? With support from a UMUC Faculty Research Grant to create this assignment, I collected data last summer that you can use to test three hypotheses-
Hypotheses
A. Pennsylvania sedge inhibits regeneration of white pine
B. Pennsylvania sedge inhibits regeneration of sugar maple
C. Pennsylvania sedge decreases biodiversity
Choice of Study Site - Practice with Google Earth:
Most, if not all, students are familiar with the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) to navigate. I assume that many of you are also familiar with Google Earth, an interactive aerial map of the globe. It is a very useful tool. When we lived in Okinawa, we chose a home to rent before our 2011 move to Rhode Island by investigating the property and its environs on Google Earth, and are very happy with our choice. Google Earth can be downloaded free at earth.google.com
I also make use of Google Earth in choosing study sites for my research, especially when I was searching for remaining old-growth white pine forests in Upper Michigan. For practice with this relatively-new technology, I have included an exercise involving Google Earth with this assignment (under "Report" below).
Methods of Data Collection
Data were collected during 2-4 August 2013 in a study plot within a forest dominated by trees of sugar maple, red oak, and red maple at Trout Lake Cathedral Point, Vilas County, Wisconsin (Figure 1). All ground species were identified in 2- x 2-meter quadrats that were positioned as a strip of adjacent quadrats in transects of adjacent across the plot. In ecology, a quadrat is defined as a sample area and a transect is a sample line. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the method of transects of continuous quadrats. Within each of the sample quadrats, the percent cover of Penn sedge was estimated and all established tree seedlings (defined as > 20 cm in .

Each scenario below practices one of the 12 Principles of
Economics. Match the principles to the
appropriate scenario listed and justify your answer. A principle
will only be used once, and not all
principles are used.
The 12 Principles of Economics:
1. People must make choices because resources are scarce.
2. The opportunity cost of an item — what you must give up in
order to get it — is its true cost.
3. “How much” decisions require making trade-offs at the
margin: comparing the costs and benefits
8. of doing a little bit more of an activity versus doing a little bit
less.
4. People usually respond to incentives, exploiting opportunities
to make themselves better off.
5. There are gains from trade.
6. Because people respond to incentives, markets move toward
equilibrium.
7. Resources should be used as efficiently as possible to achieve
society’s goals.
8. Because people usually exploit gains from trade, markets
usually lead to efficiency.
9. When markets don’t achieve efficiency, government
intervention can improve society’s welfare.
10. One person’s spending is another person’s income.
11. Overall spending sometimes gets out of line with the
economy’s productive capacity.
12. Government policies can change spending.
