· Explainthe main techniques used in employment planning and forecasting.
After this week's reading, what stood out to me was the methods of ratio analysis where they increase or decrease staffing in relation to that of the demand of the company. such as increased staffing to help alleviate the demand and make the amount of work manageable among everyone. Another was trend analysis, this is usually seen with retails when they hire seasonal staff during the holidays. the last one was forecasting where if the company uses market analysis to make their decisions.
· List and briefly describe the basic categories of selection tests, with examples.
Selection tests generally are designed to test the level of competency of potential employees. For a few jobs that I have applied to, I have encountered a typing test where I had to type so many words in a set time, math test, scenario examinations where i had to provide a list of possible solutions based on a workplace scenario, another was for more of a technical position where I was given a piece of machinery and a maintenance sheet to conduct the work. They would sometimes add a malfunction to see how we handled the situation as well. A lot of these test our level of knowledge, problem resolution, and methods of communication.

· Explain the main techniques used in employment planning and forecasting.
In employment planning, is identifying the gaps between current staff and projected staff needs (Dessler, 2016, pg. 128). One technique is utilizing a strong recruitment and selection process. Gathering data, identify positions needed (or not needed), and putting together a strategic plan on who’s filling those gaps. Then it should be implementation, this should include any training programs.
Forecasting is estimating what your workforce demand will be in the future. This can be looking at different reports, such as turnover rates and ratio analysis, and determine the outcome from that.
· List and briefly describe the basic categories of selection tests, with examples.
Selection test is different types of employee selection tests that staff authorities can issue. Depending on the job, the following are types of test:
· Intelligence Test – test general intellectual abilities such as memory, vocabulary, and numerical abilities. These abilities are measured and assessed using such test like the Stanford-Binet and the Wechsler test.
· Aptitude Test – test that measures cognitive or mental abilities such as reasoning, comprehension and memory.
· Personality Test – test that measures aspects of personality “such as introversion, stability, and motivation. These test in its self also focused on different dimensions of personality such as emotional stability, extraversion, and openness to experience.
· Interest Test – Or Interest inventories “compare one’s interests with those of people in various occupations.” This assumes that the employee that choose a job that they a ...
Final Paper Task Write a 10 to 12 page paper in which .docxssuser454af01
Final Paper
Task: Write a 10 to 12 page paper in which you use evidence to support your position on whether or not the American Dream of
each generation being able to achieve a level of success equal to or better than the previous generation can still be realized.
Objectives: This paper has two broad objectives. The first is for you to critically and thoughtfully evaluate the impact that recent
social and economic trends have had on the well-being of American individuals and families. Completing this task will help you
understand the context in which your future financial planning clients live and make decisions. Possessing this type of understanding
distinguishes our graduates from those of other programs, and is a quality that employers of our grads have appreciated. The second
objective is to give you practice in doing quantitative and qualitative research. Completing this task will enhance your skill in
obtaining data, evaluating data quality, using research results to support a position, and reporting research findings clearly, concisely,
and correctly. This is a vitally important skill to have in financial services. Your success in the industry will depend to a large extent
on your ability to take a large amount of numerical and statistical data and present it to clients in a form they can readily understand
and act upon.
Things to think about as you write: Throughout the semester, we have considered how well-being should be defined and measured.
Readings and discussions of pro and con views on various issues during the semester highlighted two realities. One, values play a
large role in directing the choices we make and the actions we take as individuals, as family units, and as broader communities. Two,
we make those value-based choices in a society and economy that can expand or constrain the number and type of options from which
we choose.
At the beginning of this course, we developed working definitions of individual, family, and social values. We defined "family" and
noted the expectations society has of "family." Once those definitions were in place, our exploration of the ability to achieve the
American Dream began. Our discussion of the impact of dual earners on family well-being raised several questions. Does it really
take two incomes to "make it" these days? Have we raised our expectations of what is included in "the good life" without giving
serious consideration to what we have given up to get that life? Are we simply greedy materialists? Are the current generation just
lazy, spoiled slackers who expect to have success handed to them rather than working hard to achieve it? Do we feel deprived because
we look at what our parents had when we left home instead of what they had at our age? Or, are we struggling to provide basics in an
economy and society that is very different from the one in which our parents and grandparents grew up? Do we expect work ...

Minorities in American Dream
Minorities do not Equal Access to the American Dream
Teddy Chou
Oregon State University
In this new world, people who are from all over the world have been moving into America and intending to start and live a better life. Emigrants from Africa, Europe, South America, and Asia, among other regions of the world, have all come in the US hoping for better political, economic and social conditions. They just have one thing in their minds, and that is to achieve the American dream. In addition, the American Dream is just like that life should be better, richer and fuller for every person, with opportunity for each based on his ability or achievement. It is a national spirit that represents the best possible life of the American population. Everyone has an opportunity to be successful, lead a prosperous life, and have the freedom to climb up the economic ladder along with their family and children, without any regard to their origin or social class. Also, the United States usually declared the independence that is the American Dream should let all people are equal and have the freedom to enjoy life, liberty, and happiness. Furthermore, practically, realizing the American dream is to own a house built on a private land. President Bill Clinton emphasized that for one to realize this dream, they have to work hard in order to have a chance for personal development and advancement. Living the American Dream is the principal goal for the majority of American citizens and those that have been fighting to attain American citizenship. However, the realization of this dream has proved to be a nightmare for most Americans because of many reasons (Cullen, 2004, p. 124). And then the American Dream for most American has been rendered unrealistic and impossible to achieve.
In 2000, after many years of significant economic development and success, the rate of poverty of both Latino and African American populations was still close to three times higher than that of the white American white population. Even though this difference was alarming, the previous decades had seen worse with higher disparities recorded. When the economy made a slow turn to the worse after 2000, the rate of poverty among the minorities rose significantly higher than that of the whites. They result in a widened poverty gap and make the realization of the American Dream among them even seem impossible (Soyer, 2016). Although the number of Americans living in poverty reduced by over a million between 2004 and 2005, the poverty levels of the minorities heightened.
Gender has also been an obstacle for most people to achieve the American Dream. Since ancient times, the men have been viewed by the society as stronger, able and the host of their families. This notion has identified women as a minority gender and made it difficult for them to get ahead of society’s stereotype against them. A majority of them have been trapped in a society that limits ...

Activity #2-2: Immigration Agenda Setting
Since 9/11, 2001, the United States government has been rethinking and reexamining immigration policy and its enforcement. In recent years, the debate over whether to allow illegal or undocumented aliens to apply for permanent residency—or even citizenship—has centered on the perceived costs and benefits of assimilating this group into American culture.
As discussed in chapters 3 and 5, before policymakers can tackle a public problem or issue through public policy, they have to first agree that the public problem or issue is worthy of being addressed.
Q 2: Who decided that immigration issue needed to be addressed over others? What individuals and/or forces seem to have the most say in setting the nation’s immigration policy agenda? Look over the following list of individuals and rank them, starting with the one who has the most ability to put an item on the public agenda related to immigration and ending with the one who has the least power to put that issue on the agenda. Briefly explain your judgments (You are required to write 150 words), which will be revealing of your views of who has power and to what ends they are exercising it. In this question, I want to see how you reasonably justify your choice.
a. The president of General Motors
b. The president of Walmart
c. A U.S. senator
d. A homeless person
e. An average blue-collar worker
f. A member of the House of Representatives

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.
