Then think about which of these products seem to be aimed primarily at men, which at men, and which at both sexes. Look at the advertisements for these products in magazines, television ads, or on the internet. What gender messages are begin sent in these advertisements? What does your investigation suggest about men’s and women’s feelings about their bodies?

Sexuality ProblemStudents must write an excellent paper is.docx
: Sexuality Problem
Students must write an excellent paper is 7 - 9 pages in length, double spaced includes (1) only ONE clearly stated (in the thesis statement) & well-defined issue related to sexuality problem of the 21st century (in the introduction – supported by a scholarly source); (2) supporting content of at least 3-5 clearly stated (in the introduction) and explained reasons/factors (in the body) that provide a holistic understanding of the selected sexuality issue that demonstrates its severity by identifying ways in which it links to
social, political, and economic aspects
within the global society (visuals can be included such as graphs, tables, charts); (3) a well-developed conclusion with solutions applicable to societal norms, policies, perspectives, etc.; (4) cited course readings & outside scholarly and popular cultural material within the essay; (5) provides an ASA formatted bibliography of at least nine cited sources within the text & in the bibliography (two must be course readings/viewings); and (6) a reasonable turnitin.com rating not to exceed 14% of uncited sources (see criteria).
Keep in mind, your paper must go beyond simply identifying a sexuality problem. You must select an issue related to sexuality that is the "most critical in the 21st Century". For example, would pre-marital sex be the most critical sexuality problem of the 21st Century? If so, you have to prove that by addressing it to three critical aspects– social, political, and economic – that affect all matters in society You are selecting a sexuality issue that is relevant during this technologically advanced area of global capitalism and impacts several other matters in people's everyday lives. You should identify root causes connected to your stated sexuality issue in the critical reflective paper. I advise students to start brainstorming then develop a conceptual map to deconstruct at least 2 or3 sexuality issues and then make the final selection based on its significance.
Examples of Issues Related to Sexuality - Homophobia, Pedophilia, Sex Trafficking, Molestation, STDs, rape, pre-marital sex, pornography, eroticism, sexual repression of women, genital mutilation, teenage pregnancy, sexual disorders, masturbation, media depiction of sex and sexuality, religious ideology of sex and sexuality, etc. Keep in mind, some of the issues would be perceived as universal problems while others would only be characterized as "issues" according to how they are viewed in society (perspectives). However, not all of them are literally life or death matters in the grand scheme of things. I have given you many ideas and options; of course, you must make a clear argument stating how your selected sexuality issue is the MOST CRITICAL SEXUALITY PROBLEM TODAY.

: Sexuality Problem
Students must write an excellent paper is 7 - 9 pages in length, double spaced includes (1) only ONE clearly stated (in the thesis statement) & well-defined issue related to sexuality problem of the 21st century (in the introduction – supported by a scholarly source); (2) supporting content of at least 3-5 clearly stated (in the introduction) and explained reasons/factors (in the body) that provide a holistic understanding of the selected sexuality issue that demonstrates its severity by identifying ways in which it links to
social, political, and economic aspects
within the global society (visuals can be included such as graphs, tables, charts); (3) a well-developed conclusion with solutions applicable to societal norms, policies, perspectives, etc.; (4) cited course readings & outside scholarly and popular cultural material within the essay; (5) provides an ASA formatted bibliography of at least nine cited sources within the text & in the bibliography (two must be course readings/viewings); and (6) a reasonable turnitin.com rating not to exceed 14% of uncited sources (see criteria).
Keep in mind, your paper must go beyond simply identifying a sexuality problem. You must select an issue related to sexuality that is the "most critical in the 21st Century". For example, would pre-marital sex be the most critical sexuality problem of the 21st Century? If so, you have to prove that by addressing it to three critical aspects– social, political, and economic – that affect all matters in society You are selecting a sexuality issue that is relevant during this technologically advanced area of global capitalism and impacts several other matters in people's everyday lives. You should identify root causes connected to your stated sexuality issue in the critical reflective paper. I advise students to start brainstorming then develop a conceptual map to deconstruct at least 2 or3 sexuality issues and then make the final selection based on its significance.
Examples of Issues Related to Sexuality - Homophobia, Pedophilia, Sex Trafficking, Molestation, STDs, rape, pre-marital sex, pornography, eroticism, sexual repression of women, genital mutilation, teenage pregnancy, sexual disorders, masturbation, media depiction of sex and sexuality, religious ideology of sex and sexuality, etc. Keep in mind, some of the issues would be perceived as universal problems while others would only be characterized as "issues" according to how they are viewed in society (perspectives). However, not all of them are literally life or death matters in the grand scheme of things. I have given you many ideas and options; of course, you must make a clear argument stating how your selected sexuality issue is the MOST CRITICAL SEXUALITY PROBLEM TODAY.

Writing Assessment Instructions
This assignment is designed to develop critical thinking, written and visual communication, and empirical and quantitative, and social responsibility skills.

This week, as the first step of your Course Project, you select and .docx
This week, as the first step of your Course Project, you select and analyze a social issue. The main goals of your analysis are to develop a problem statement, address the “heart” or “root” of the issue, describe the situation as it looks today, and explain why this social issue is important to investigate.
There are numerous social issues that prompt attention today and that directly or indirectly impact both small and large populations. These include issues as diverse as animal rights, euthanasia, the gender wage gap, intimate partner violence, access to health care, disability rights, detention of unaccompanied migrant children, and veterans rights, to name but a few.
As you consider a social issue on which to focus, keep in mind that you will be researching and writing about the social issue throughout the remainder of the course. An objective of this project is to build a well-researched foundation on which you might pursue further involvement. For that reason, you are encouraged to select an issue about which you have genuine concern and interest. Is there a social issue that has impacted you or a family member personally? Are there inequities that impact your life or the lives of others in your community? Are there global concerns that resonate strongly with you? Personal passion and connection to an issue often fuels the kind of committed action that attracts participants and achieves objectives. For this project, select an issue that you genuinely care about.
Gather 2-4 articles
In a 2- to 3-page paper (not including the cover page and references), address the following:
The problem statement you have developed (e.g., “The problem I will address in this study is…”)
What are the “symptoms” of the social issue? What does it “look like”?
What are the conflicts that exist regarding this issue? What are the interests, rights, and values of all parties involved with the social issue?
What are some potential ethical dilemmas involved with the social issue?
How has the social issue developed? What are some possible causes?
Why is the social issue important to investigate?

Create an informative public information piece that presents researc.docx
Create an informative public information piece that presents research on institutional discrimination within a specific social institution.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
SHOW LESS
Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
Create an effective public information piece that conveys a clear, cohesive message about institutional inequality.
Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U.S. culture.
Analyze data on the factors contributing to racial, ethnic, or other disparities within a specific institution to make valid sociological arguments.
Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
Explain ways in which public policies are linked to racial, ethnic, or other disparities within a specific institution.
Competency 4: Analyze how laws are applied or created based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and social class.
Assess the impact of institutional discrimination on minorities and minority communities.
Competency 5: Apply diversity strategies in professional, educational, and personal contexts.
Describe policy strategies for reducing institutional discrimination.
Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting.
Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Often, discrimination is discussed as a primarily individual phenomenon—one-on-one actions in which one person discriminates against another. But as you have learned through your studies and research, some discrimination occurs at the institutional level, despite laws and policies that have been created to reduce or eliminate structural racism.
SHOW LESS
It is important to consider how different experiences for minority groups may reflect a dominant culture that practices systemic discrimination in terms of treatment or access to valued resources. In other words, if there are many individuals in a society who are not racist or discriminatory, can the same also be said of the institutions in U.S. society as a whole? Often, institutional discrimination involves the intersection of race or ethnicity with other variables, like social class and gender. For example, patterns of residential segregation may be connected to both race and ethnicity, as well as socioeconomic status.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are f.
Develop a 4-5 page analysis of your experience with gender sociali.docx
Develop a 4-5 page analysis of your experience with gender socialization. In doing so, analyze how gender is created by society, specifically looking at children's toys and/or clothing.
Culture is the glue that holds a society together—it is what encourages the members of that society to cooperate with each other as much as possible. We learn culture through socialization, the lifelong social experience. From birth we are taught how to be members of our society.
The most common agents of socialization are our family, peers, school, and media. The family, for example, influences a child's development by such things as the way the parents hold the baby, look at it, talk to it, and respond to its needs. We take on typical gender roles from the beginning as girls are given pink clothes while boys are given blue. Family socialization is reinforced or modified by experiences at school and with peers, by the mass media, and by interaction with others. Socialization, the lifelong social experience through which we learn culture, is vital to becoming members of a society.
In this assessment, we look at the sociological concepts of culture and socialization and how they impact our behavior and attitudes.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Examine how theory and sociological concepts apply to everyday life.
Identify gender-specific childhood clothing and/or toys.
Competency 2: Explain the basic tools of sociological inquiry.
Summarize gender socialization sources.
Explain the validity and helpfulness of gender socialization sources.
Competency 4: Analyze the influence of culture on both the individual and society.
Describe the impact of gender-specific messages towards one's self.
Analyze how gender-specific messages of childhood clothing and/or toys reflect larger societal expectations.
Competency 6: Compose text that articulates meaning relevant to its purpose and audience.
Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics.
For this assessment, you analyze how gender is created by society, specifically looking at children's toys and/or clothing. The purpose of this assessment is twofold:
It helps you to start thinking about the impact of socialization on your life as a starting point.
This first analysis will be used again for Assessment 6.
It also requires you to locate and evaluate resources on socialization and these resources may be used in Assessment 6.

Social justice
is the view that all people deserve equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities. Social justice isn’t an “us versus them” mindset; instead, it is a “we are – or should be- in this together” attitude. To understand the intricacies of social justice and create social change, your final essay prompt asks you to:
- Work closely with any two personal narratives from Michelle Tea’s
Without a Net
. From these, you will determine a common, social justice issue. These will be your primary sources.
- Include three or more secondary sources to support your thinking. See below for acceptable means of research.
- Form a thesis based on the information you gather from all of your sources. As we have discussed this semester, your thesis (at first) will be a working one as you investigate a social justice issue. The deeper your analysis, the better.
For example, one common thread between primary sources might be the stigmatization of teenage mothers. Looking at this theme within a larger social context, one might argue that because of the stigmatization of teenage mothers, women haven’t been given the necessary medical treatment they deserve; therefore teen moms suffer future illnesses that may continue to be ignored. Had they been given the proper treatment primarily, many of these women’s health issues could have been avoided.
Secondary sources may include but are not limited to:
Ø Scholarly articles
Ø Interviews (those you conduct or view)
Ø Documentaries
Ø Newspaper articles
Ø Graphs
Ø Maps
Ø Charts
Ø Sound Recordings
Ø Art of any kind
In your essay, be sure to:
- cite and analyze passages from the text for support.
- underline your thesis.
- offer a title for your essay.
- include the MLA style of documentation. (Consult Bb for appropriate MLA style of citation and documentation).
- proofread carefully.
- submit your essay onto Turnitin.com (user info. is on Bb).
Below are social justice topics you might find of interest, but these are optional.
- Civil Rights and Racial Discrimination
- Gender Diversity
- LBGTQ+ Issues
- Income Inequality
- Poverty and Homelessness
- Immigration Stresses
- Health Care Availability
- Awareness Through Education
- Diversity and Inclusion
- Political and Social Injustice
- The Importance of Rebellion
- Injustice in Treatments of Disabled Folks in America
- Critical Analysis of Recent Movements (#metoo, BLM, and so on)
- Poverty
Pre-writing:
Use the rest of this sheet to brainstorm connective threads you can discern between any two personal narratives from Tea’s anthology.

Assignment 1: LASA 2: Stratification and Prejudice in Current Events
The purpose of this assignment is to explore stratification and prejudice in current events.

Discussion one:
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.

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.

This week, as the first step of your Course Project, you select and .docx
This week, as the first step of your Course Project, you select and analyze a social issue. The main goals of your analysis are to develop a problem statement, address the “heart” or “root” of the issue, describe the situation as it looks today, and explain why this social issue is important to investigate.
There are numerous social issues that prompt attention today and that directly or indirectly impact both small and large populations. These include issues as diverse as animal rights, euthanasia, the gender wage gap, intimate partner violence, access to health care, disability rights, detention of unaccompanied migrant children, and veterans rights, to name but a few.
As you consider a social issue on which to focus, keep in mind that you will be researching and writing about the social issue throughout the remainder of the course. An objective of this project is to build a well-researched foundation on which you might pursue further involvement. For that reason, you are encouraged to select an issue about which you have genuine concern and interest. Is there a social issue that has impacted you or a family member personally? Are there inequities that impact your life or the lives of others in your community? Are there global concerns that resonate strongly with you? Personal passion and connection to an issue often fuels the kind of committed action that attracts participants and achieves objectives. For this project, select an issue that you genuinely care about.
Gather 2-4 articles
In a 2- to 3-page paper (not including the cover page and references), address the following:
The problem statement you have developed (e.g., “The problem I will address in this study is…”)
What are the “symptoms” of the social issue? What does it “look like”?
What are the conflicts that exist regarding this issue? What are the interests, rights, and values of all parties involved with the social issue?
What are some potential ethical dilemmas involved with the social issue?
How has the social issue developed? What are some possible causes?
Why is the social issue important to investigate?

Create an informative public information piece that presents researc.docx
Create an informative public information piece that presents research on institutional discrimination within a specific social institution.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
SHOW LESS
Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
Create an effective public information piece that conveys a clear, cohesive message about institutional inequality.
Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U.S. culture.
Analyze data on the factors contributing to racial, ethnic, or other disparities within a specific institution to make valid sociological arguments.
Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
Explain ways in which public policies are linked to racial, ethnic, or other disparities within a specific institution.
Competency 4: Analyze how laws are applied or created based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and social class.
Assess the impact of institutional discrimination on minorities and minority communities.
Competency 5: Apply diversity strategies in professional, educational, and personal contexts.
Describe policy strategies for reducing institutional discrimination.
Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting.
Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Often, discrimination is discussed as a primarily individual phenomenon—one-on-one actions in which one person discriminates against another. But as you have learned through your studies and research, some discrimination occurs at the institutional level, despite laws and policies that have been created to reduce or eliminate structural racism.
SHOW LESS
It is important to consider how different experiences for minority groups may reflect a dominant culture that practices systemic discrimination in terms of treatment or access to valued resources. In other words, if there are many individuals in a society who are not racist or discriminatory, can the same also be said of the institutions in U.S. society as a whole? Often, institutional discrimination involves the intersection of race or ethnicity with other variables, like social class and gender. For example, patterns of residential segregation may be connected to both race and ethnicity, as well as socioeconomic status.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are f.
Develop a 4-5 page analysis of your experience with gender sociali.docx
Develop a 4-5 page analysis of your experience with gender socialization. In doing so, analyze how gender is created by society, specifically looking at children's toys and/or clothing.
Culture is the glue that holds a society together—it is what encourages the members of that society to cooperate with each other as much as possible. We learn culture through socialization, the lifelong social experience. From birth we are taught how to be members of our society.
The most common agents of socialization are our family, peers, school, and media. The family, for example, influences a child's development by such things as the way the parents hold the baby, look at it, talk to it, and respond to its needs. We take on typical gender roles from the beginning as girls are given pink clothes while boys are given blue. Family socialization is reinforced or modified by experiences at school and with peers, by the mass media, and by interaction with others. Socialization, the lifelong social experience through which we learn culture, is vital to becoming members of a society.
In this assessment, we look at the sociological concepts of culture and socialization and how they impact our behavior and attitudes.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Examine how theory and sociological concepts apply to everyday life.
Identify gender-specific childhood clothing and/or toys.
Competency 2: Explain the basic tools of sociological inquiry.

Explain the validity and helpfulness of gender socialization sources.
Competency 4: Analyze the influence of culture on both the individual and society.
Describe the impact of gender-specific messages towards one's self.
Analyze how gender-specific messages of childhood clothing and/or toys reflect larger societal expectations.
Competency 6: Compose text that articulates meaning relevant to its purpose and audience.
Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics.
For this assessment, you analyze how gender is created by society, specifically looking at children's toys and/or clothing. The purpose of this assessment is twofold:
It helps you to start thinking about the impact of socialization on your life as a starting point.

Social justice
is the view that all people deserve equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities. Social justice isn’t an “us versus them” mindset; instead, it is a “we are – or should be- in this together” attitude. To understand the intricacies of social justice and create social change, your final essay prompt asks you to:
- Work closely with any two personal narratives from Michelle Tea’s
Without a Net
. From these, you will determine a common, social justice issue. These will be your primary sources.
- Include three or more secondary sources to support your thinking. See below for acceptable means of research.
- Form a thesis based on the information you gather from all of your sources. As we have discussed this semester, your thesis (at first) will be a working one as you investigate a social justice issue. The deeper your analysis, the better.
For example, one common thread between primary sources might be the stigmatization of teenage mothers. Looking at this theme within a larger social context, one might argue that because of the stigmatization of teenage mothers, women haven’t been given the necessary medical treatment they deserve; therefore teen moms suffer future illnesses that may continue to be ignored. Had they been given the proper treatment primarily, many of these women’s health issues could have been avoided.
Secondary sources may include but are not limited to:
Ø Scholarly articles
Ø Interviews (those you conduct or view)
Ø Documentaries
Ø Newspaper articles
Ø Graphs
Ø Maps
Ø Charts
Ø Sound Recordings
Ø Art of any kind
In your essay, be sure to:
- cite and analyze passages from the text for support.
- underline your thesis.
- offer a title for your essay.
- include the MLA style of documentation. (Consult Bb for appropriate MLA style of citation and documentation).
- proofread carefully.
- submit your essay onto Turnitin.com (user info. is on Bb).
Below are social justice topics you might find of interest, but these are optional.
- Civil Rights and Racial Discrimination
- Gender Diversity
- LBGTQ+ Issues
- Income Inequality
- Poverty and Homelessness

There are numerous social issues that prompt attention today and tha.docx
There are numerous social issues that prompt attention today and that directly or indirectly impact both small and large populations. These include issues as diverse as animal rights, euthanasia, the gender wage gap, intimate partner violence, access to health care, disability rights, detention of unaccompanied migrant children, and veterans rights, to name but a few.
As you consider a social issue on which to focus, keep in mind that you will be researching and writing about the social issue throughout the remainder of the course. An objective of this project is to build a well-researched foundation on which you might pursue further involvement. For that reason, you are encouraged to select an issue about which you have genuine concern and interest. Is there a social issue that has impacted you or a family member personally? Are there inequities that impact your life or the lives of others in your community? Are there global concerns that resonate strongly with you? Personal passion and connection to an issue often fuels the kind of committed action that attracts participants and achieves objectives. For this project, select an issue that you genuinely care about.
To prepare for this Project:
With the thoughts above in mind, select a social issue for further research.
Gather 2–4 resources about this issue from the Walden Library. You will use these resources in writing this Topic Exploration and Analysis.
Develop a problem statement (e.g., “The problem I will address in this study is…”).
By Day 7
In a 2- to 3-page paper (not including the cover page and references), address the following:
The problem statement you have developed (e.g., “The problem I will address in this study is…”)
What are the “symptoms” of the social issue? What does it “look like”?
What are the conflicts that exist regarding this issue? What are the interests, rights, and values of all parties involved with the social issue?
What are some potential ethical dilemmas involved with the social issue?
How has the social issue developed? What are some possible causes?
Why is the social issue important to investigate?
Support your statements with APA Style in-text citations using the articles you gathered from the Walden Library.

Discussion oneHello Professor and fellow classmatesAccording.docx
Discussion one:
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.

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.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
