Hello Professor and fellow classmates:
According to our textbook, today’s managers perform four management functions. They are planning, organizing, leading and controlling.
Planning is a process that includes defining goals, establishing strategy, and developing plans that coordinate activities. Organizing is the process of determining tasks to be done, who is to do them, how they are grouped and who reports to whom.
Leading is a function that includes motivating and directing employees, communicating and resolving conflicts.
Controlling is monitoring activities to ensure they are being done as planned and correcting any mistakes in those activities as needed. (Robbins & Judge, 2013)
As a caterer, I have performed these functions as follows:
I planned a cocktail reception for 500 people to celebrate the 50
th
Anniversary of our Church’s building.
I
planned
the menu, the decorating of the hall and how many servers the event would need to ensure the best possible outcome for the invited guests.
I
organized
a volunteer event committee that consisted of the president of the parish, and 10 other key church individuals.
We had 3 months to finalize the details, plan our agenda for the day of the event, and make all the food, order the flowers/centerpieces, the linens, the china and anything else needed for a spectacular celebration.
I
led
my team through all the planning meetings, directed them in the preparation of the menu items (we made all the appetizers for the cocktail reception, 20 different passed and buffet items), resolved issues with the linen company (they sent the wrong color tablecloths the week before the event), used email and cell phone communication channels for all decisions and activities planned.
The day prior to the event, I was at the church hall
controlling
and ensuring that all activities where being done as planned, the tables where set with the linen (the new corrected color), the china, the centerpieces and all décor.
I made sure that all the food was being prepared to my specifications and taste, did a half hour training of the service staff (40 of them) to ensure they knew what to serve on what platter and with what accompaniment, and to make sure they had the right tools to do the best job.
This was the largest catering job that I had attempted in my career, so I feel that the planning was the most crucial function that I needed to control.
Organizing and leading where the second most important functions and controlling was the final function performed.
I enjoyed the challenge and I know that we did an exceptional job because I have since booked over 75 (and counting) new events from the people that attended the event and told me how impressed they were with the quality of our food, décor, and organization and how well our staff handled themselves.

Discussion Cultural and Developmental Implications for Survivor.docx
Discussion: Cultural and Developmental Implications for Survivors
When working with any client, you must consider the impact of human development and culture. This is especially true when working with survivors of critical incidents. A 4-year-old child’s cognitive processing is different from that of a 35-year-old adult. Thus, you must be familiar with developmental stages, specifically those that incorporate cognitive and emotional understanding, when working with survivors of critical incidents. The cultural context of survivors also has an impact on their responses to critical incidents. For example, Haiti is an impoverished country with limited resources. The earthquake in 2010 devastated this country, the extent of which was at least partially the result of culturally relevant factors. The systems to filter and purify water in this country are not easily reconstructed, resources to rebuild houses and buildings are not immediately available, and food sources that are destroyed from an earthquake are not easily replenished. In an environment where there are more financial and systemic resources, the experience of an earthquake might not have such a significant impact on the continued health of the survivors.
For this Discussion, select a critical incident that would require a professional response for survivors and think about a culture in which this critical incident might occur. Consider the different stages of development of potential clients from the following: 6-year-old child, 14-year-old adolescent, 26-year-old young adult, and 50-year-old older adult. Think about how you would respond differently to each of your clients depending on their stage of development when experiencing the event or situation you selected.
By Day 4
Post by Day 4 a brief description of the critical incident you selected and the culture in which it might occur. Then, briefly describe your “clients” in terms of their stages of development. Next, explain how the developmental stage may influence the needs of your clients. Be specific and provide examples to illustrate. Identify any ecological factors that may influence survivors of the critical incident. Finally, explain how intervention with this critical incident might be different if the client(s) was/were of a different culture.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources.

Discussion Board QuestionFor this Discussion Board Forum, intera.docx
This document discusses criticisms that are often leveled against free market economies from a moral perspective. It summarizes three main criticisms:
1) That free markets encourage selfishness by rewarding individuals for pursuing their own self-interest. However, the document argues that free markets do not require selfishness and can also allow people to act charitably.
2) That free markets foster materialism. But the document claims materialism exists under any system and free markets do not create or determine consumer wants.
3) That free markets are impersonal and individualistic. The document responds that free markets do not prevent community and personal relationships, and true community must be voluntary.

What Movement Moves You?
For this discussion
, you are asked to think critically about social movements. Here are the specific points I’d like you to address in your post…
·
What social movement do you feel passionately enough about that you would protest in the streets? Explain why, supporting your response with information from your course materials and/or other credible sources.
·
This may be a current social movement, one from the past (think the 1960s or the 1920s for example), or one that you feel may become a heated issue in the future.
·
Include a definition of “social movement.”
·
How is this different from “social change.”
·
What movements do you currently support?
As a thinking point…
Here’s an example… While males are still required to register for the military draft, if the actual draft was re-instated for a future war, would this be a cause you’d be willing to protest in favor of or against in the streets? How might American society respond to this?
Look forward to your responses here.

What Movement Moves You?
For this discussion
, you are asked to think critically about social movements. Here are the specific points I’d like you to address in your post…
·
What social movement do you feel passionately enough about that you would protest in the streets? Explain why, supporting your response with information from your course materials and/or other credible sources.
·
This may be a current social movement, one from the past (think the 1960s or the 1920s for example), or one that you feel may become a heated issue in the future.
·
Include a definition of “social movement.”
·
How is this different from “social change.”
·
What movements do you currently support?
As a thinking point…
Here’s an example… While males are still required to register for the military draft, if the actual draft was re-instated for a future war, would this be a cause you’d be willing to protest in favor of or against in the streets? How might American society respond to this?
Look forward to your responses here.

J.W. Kingdon describes the agenda setting stage of policy formulation as a function of the confluence of three "streams" of activities: problems, possible solutions to the problems, and political circumstances (see Longest page 163). According to this metaphor, all three streams must be present for the policymaking process to move to the legislation development phase.
After reading information about President Clinton’s Health Reform Proposal of 1993 (also known as “Hillary-Care), which did not pass the Congressional/Senate voting approval, and information regarding the Affordable Care Act (also known as “Obama-Care), which did pass and was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Summer of 2012, discuss the similarities and differences between the 2 acts.

Give us a short history of the individual selected, and then identify the risk factors and protective factors you see with the juvenile. Evaluate these factors through the lens of the lifecourse theory. Does the concept of persistence or desistence come into play with this juvenile?

Why do juveniles have a modified right compared to adults? How do these modifications change the roles and priorities of police when dealing with juveniles? Should social justice concepts of dealing with juveniles take precedence over criminal justice?
