Answer two (2) “Questions to Consider.” Summaries must be a minimum of 300 words and you are encouraged to write more. (Note: The total 300-word count does not include repeating the questions you chose to answer.Chapter 5:1. Based on the reading (Labor and Legality, Chapter 5) how do the Busboys convince their employer that they are hard workers and what is their objective in doing all the work? What are they trying to accomplish?2. After all the hard, extra work is delivered with a smile and all of the work is done, do the Busboys believe they have achieved their goals? Are they happy with their work and status at the restaurant?3. What do you think about the Busboy’s strategy? Does it make sense to you? Have you ever employed this strategy yourself? If so how did it turn out? And would you agree or disagree that all of their hard work only serves to reinforce the stereotyping of immigrants generally and Mexican immigrants in particular?4. Based on what you read about the Busboys, how would you describe/assess their conditions of work—good, bad or better than you might have expected given our previous discussions or work in low wage labor markets? And do you think the Busboys’ approach to work had any impact on the conditions of work at the restaurant? (Please explain)Chapter 6:1. There are two stereotypes of Mexican Immigrants, one as the lawless “illegals” pouring over the borders stealing jobs and collecting welfare and the other as “the hardworking immigrants” trying to make it in “the land of opportunity.” How do these stereotypes play out in terms of how management rationalizes the way they hire, pay and promote the bus boys?2. Based on the readings, what we know about management at I1 Vino, and our class discussions, would you say that the make up of the busboy staff has more to do with racial bias or the experience, skill, and motivation of the workers? (Please explain).3. Do the busboys engage in some stereotyping of their own? (Please explain)4. The busboys would argue that through “hard work” and “winning the boss” they maintain job security and overcome the exploitation and discrimination they face at work and in the larger society. Do you agree?5. Near the end of Chapter 6, one of the busboys declares, “I don’t care if I am illegal or whatever. Why not? Because this country gives you opportunities! If you take advantage of them, good for you, and if you don’t, you are stupid. So I feel good that I have been able to take advantage of opportunities here.” The question is do you believe him? Is that what he really thinks? Do you think that he’s not concerned about his status? Do you think he believes he’s been given an opportunity here in the U.S. as an undocumented worker? And finally, do you think he’s been given an opportunity as an undocumented worker?

Create a 2-3 page proposal that analyzes your business topic, defines the scope and strategy for how you will go about your capstone project, and explains how your proposed project allows you to demonstrate the MBA program outcomes. 
Introduction
Based on the feedback you received from faculty on your capstone summary in Assessment 1, you should now have a firm grasp of the scope of your project. In fact, if someone asks you what your project is about, you should have an “elevator speech” prepared. That is, you should have memorized 1–3 sentences that explain the topic, problem, and scope clearly and concisely. With just these few sentences, explaining your project to someone while on a short elevator ride would be no trouble at all! Additionally, having such a clear vision will help you with this assessment and the project overall.
For this assessment, you will formally propose your capstone project. 
Preparation

Review the MBA Capstone Project Description [PDF].

Assessment Description
Write a business proposal that formally proposes your capstone project and ends by asking for permission to continue, just as you might propose a project to a supervisor or client.
Include, at minimum, the following information:

Analyze a business challenge or opportunity.

Include an introduction to your proposal.
Summarize the capstone project topic, scope, and components; saying that your capstone will comprise a paper and presentation is not enough.
Establish the premise of your paper; for example, if you plan to talk about how Dillard’s department store can come back after a huge financial loss, you should include citations that establish its dramatic financial loss. 

Define the strategy, scope, and action plan that you will use to complete the capstone project.

Provide a general action plan on how you will research, analyze, and identify recommendations or solutions to this business challenge or opportunity. 
Discuss the general type of data sources you will be used to inform your analysis. Provide at least two specific sources that you are considering. These resources should be from credible sources such as the Wall Street Journal, IBIS, et cetera. Use the excellent Research Guide – MBA for locating credible resources from the Capella library’s business databases and article collections. 
Include the process or steps on accessing the data necessary for the analysis of a business topic or challenge.

Write a conclusion. 

Include a wrap-up that ensures your supervisor/client that your project will meet all requirements, be valuable to them, and be completed on time. 
Be sure to conclude by asking for permission to continue to the next step. 

Your proposal should be organized using these sections:

Introduction.
Summary.
Discussion of the Proposal.
Strategy and Scope.
Action Plan.
Conclusion.

Discussion 4ADeviance And ControlDISCUSSION PREPARATIONFor this discussion, we will examine how deviance and social control exist and function within our society.Please watch the video on Deviance and Social Control.

Respond to the following Discussion Assignment after reading the Chapter on Media & Technology. Respond to one post with thoughtful feedback.  Your feedback needs to be more than “I like, I don’t like, That’s cool”. Be specific with your feedback. Not responding to a post or not addressing all of the discussion questions, will result in points deducted. 

How have digital media changed social interactions? Do you believe it has deepened or weakened human connections and interactions? Defend your response. 
In what ways has the internet affected how you see reality? Explain your response using the symbolic interactionist perspective. Make sure your response is clear.

REPLY:

Media has affected social interactions due to the information it can provide and because of how widespread it is. Due to this, it has both the ability to strengthen and weaken human connections. Media has spread misinformation along with information as shown in just the pandemic. Particularly, election season. Some media outlets were spreading misinformation concerning the vaccines and behaviors of our past president. However, in that similar span of time, there was also a great connection when it came to the murder of George Floyd. Systematic racism had a severe call out globally which also impacted how laws were perceived and changed (like the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act this year), along with human interaction itself. There was a sense of togetherness for many to prevent more bloodshed and harm from happening by the results of hate crimes and bigotry. It’s slowly becoming more of a habit to celebrate and accept each other’s differences but not those that come at the expense of others and run deep in bigotry.
It’s
affected my reality severely starting at the beginning of the pandemic.
My senior year was cut short and all of a sudden, there was a global
sickness that terrified me and a wrongful murder that outraged me along
with things I found out later after that specific event. It was a lot
for me to deal with, especially since I had just turned 18 two months
later and was also ready to really start getting together my young adult
life. Not just mentally and emotionally, but also politically and
morally. I was so ready
to vote for the first time and I took a lot of time to speak on topics
that were important for me as I did more research on social media (we
all had so much time on our hands in the beginning of the pandemic
anyways) like LGBTQ+ rights, feminism/gender equality, climate change,
and the fight against systemic racism. Immediately, I learned on my own
that the world needed a lot of things that needed to be addressed and
handled before there was no coming back. To be honest, all I see is just
a hard and lonely world now after all of that.

As the manager of CTU Health Care Systems, you have done your research on three vendors to which you would like to outsource the implementation of the electronic health records (EHRs) for the clinics. As the manager, you have a number of critical decisions regarding the electronic medical record systems. At first, you thought you could either implement the existing EHR system at the other acute care organization or implement an entirely new EHR in both facilities.You met with your staff, and after researching several companies that offered both products and services, you have solicited request for proposals (RFPs) from the following three companies:ABC Systems Consulting, the leading company in health care systems integration services, refused to bid on the systems integration required for bringing the current EHR system into the other organization. This was because of the risks and time requirements for designing, implementing, and testing the large number of interfaces required and the required time line for the completion of the project as identified by the client.XYZ EHR Systems proposed that its new, recently redeveloped EHR be implemented in both facilities, which included a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) module, standardized drug interaction alert functionality, and customizable clinical alert functionality. It estimated that the merged entity would get a much better price than $50 million for purchasing this new system. Unfortunately, XYZ was unable to provide evidence of successful installation of its recently redeveloped EHR system at a similarly large delivery network or anywhere.QRS EHR Systems, a leading provider of EHR systems for large acute care facilities, proposed that its EHR be installed in both acute care organizations with a $50–60 million price tag. QRS included a CPOE module, standardized drug interaction alert functionality, as well as evidence-based clinical alert functionality. QRS also had a physician office EHR system with an embedded patient registration system; however, QRS has had minimal experience with integrating the physician office registration system with the acute care (hospital) registration system—an integration feature that was a priority for this project based on the client’s information technology (IT) strategic plan.The stakes surrounding your recommendation to the chief information officer (CIO) and chief executive officer (CEO) could not be higher in terms of dollars and your career.Discuss the following in your paper of 3-4 pages, not including title page and reference page:What pieces of information are the most critical for your decision on selecting the right vendor?What other options, if any, do you have?What are the critical success factors in the case?What are your recommendations to the CIO and CEO based on the RFPs that you received?
