/in /by adminAssignment ContentThis week’s assignment contains an imaginary scenario in which you will demonstrate your knowledge of the concepts presented in this course.Scenario: Your friend, an 8th-grade earth science teacher at the local middle school, is organizing an Earth Day celebration for his students and their families. He knows you have recently been learning about environmental policies in this environmental science class and has asked you to be one of several guest speakers at the event. He would like you to explain to the students how scientific research and public awareness of an environmental issue led to an environmental policy or law. The goal is for the 8th-grade students to understand how people and communities (scientific community, government bodies, citizens of a country, etc.) can effect positive change for the environment.Use the policy and issue you selected for your Wk 5 Discussion – Environmental Policies in Action.Prepare a 3-to 4-minute video and/or audio recording, or a 1,050- to 1,750-word transcript of your presentation.Address the following in your presentation:Summarize the environmental issue. What are its causes? What are the effects on the environment and people? Consider multiple perspectives and locations, as applicable.Explain how economics and/or personal lifestyle choices or behaviors are related to this issue.Describe how individuals, communities, and/or governments have worked to address the issue.Examine the impact of relevant legislation or initiatives. What are the benefits? Have there been any consequences?Note: Remember your audience; the presentation needs to make sense and appeal to 13- and 14-year-old students.Include at least 2 outside resources to support your conclusions.

/in /by adminOrganizing for ThemesOnce you have collected and evaluated the relevant studies on your topic, you need to think how best to present the information in a way that captures the common themes you have found. What multiple discrete themes emerged from your review? You will need to determine these categories and concepts or themes you think are important to understanding your topic and defining your research problem. Consider what ideas surfaced across your studies and how the content from these studies can fit within some higher-level themes based on the focus of your own research. Even after you have grouped ideas and determined themes, you will need to decide how to order them in a way that makes your argument for your research problem compelling. These themes will eventually be the structure of your literature review.In this Discussion, you will begin to organize the content from the ten articles of your annotated bibliography (Parts 1, 2, and 3) into themes, which will then constitute the basis for your research problem. (See this week’s Assignment for more details on Part 3.)To prepare for this Discussion:Begin to organize your 10 articles (from Part 1 and Part 2 Annotated Bibliography) into topics that trace your argument also known as “Synthesizing Literature” The topics should demonstrate that your argument is worthwhile and justified, leading to the gap in the literature.Review the web resource “Integrating Arguments in Paragraphs.â€https://www.dlsweb.rmit.edu.au/lsu/content/2_Asses…By Day 3Post a list of your themes, and explain how these topics relate to the gap in the literature you identified.

/in /by adminI hope you’re taking the time to really consider how you perceive the world around you. As we discussed yesterday, stereotyping is an important tool that allows humans to categorize information since we really can’t juggle so much data without some sort of internal “filing system”. Of course, we need to be careful not to allow stereotypes to dictate everything about a particular person or we run the risk of overattributing or overgeneralizing and missing important information unique to each individual. Please take a few minutes to consider the PSA from Denmark that we watched in class last week. This runs on public television and helps remind the population that each of us is unique and have multi-faceted lives. https://youtu.be/Wh-xdZzyjVIWhile thinking about stereotyping and other facets of our process of perception, also consider how deception factors into our perceptions and ultimately, our lives. Are you less likely to trust someone who has betrayed you in the past? Have you been the person who has deceived another? As we discussed, Buller & Burgoon’s article on “Interpersonal Deception Theory” discusses three very distinct types of deception 1) Falsification 2) Concealment 3) Equivocation. Next take the time to watch the film “Catch Me If You Can” with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. Watch this not just for enjoyment, but consider how perception and deception is illustrated in this film. Consider how Frank Abignale, Jr. manipulates others perception of him as a means to an end.Finally, please provide three specific examples from the film that illustrate falsification, concealment and equivocation. Please keep a good record of your response to this question since a similar question will appear on your midterm.

/in /by adminPlease write a response to her and disagree about the Hooters response. There is nothing wrong with he outfits and the whole operation in general. here is her responseChapter 8: Gender DiscriminationThe restaurant shows obvious gender discrimination. Within the Title VII guideline laws an establishment cannot require one gender to work different hours or job positions for reasons not related to their ability or availability for the job (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2021, p. 420). Men working as kitchen help and women as servers is a clear indication of gender discrimination. Another problem to point out is that all the servers have blonde hair which is another added on problem for any woman who does not have blonde hair. This scenario also implies gender stereotyping which is based on the ideas of how a particular gender should act or dress or what roles they should perform or jobs they should hold (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2021, p. 426). This scenario also reminds me of the restaurant named hooters where the women were servers and worn very short shorts, with the hooter’s shirt tied up to make their chests poke out more. This is exploitive and disrespectful and gives the impression that the women should dress provocatively to attract male customers. I have been to hooters one time and never went back again because of that layout of their employees. Another issue to point out is that many places discriminate without even realizing it but in this case, it is shown that the manager hired very attractive white women with blonde hair as servers. On exhibit 8.8, it states that very attractive men or women earn at least 5 percent more per hour than people with average looks (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2021, p. 421)

solved Instructions Developing employees through the implementation of training and development
/in /by adminInstructions
Developing employees through the implementation of training and development opportunities is a primary function of human resource management (HRM). Performance measurement and appraisals are one way to determine what type of additional training is needed to ensure employee success.
Imagine that you have been hired as the human resource manager at an organization where you have previously worked or are currently working. Your first task is to assess areas for improving training and development and the performance appraisal system within the organization. Write an essay on your analysis of these two areas. Address the questions below in your assignment. Use headers to organize your paper and show what you are covering in your assignment.
Training and Development Analysis
What are the steps of the new hire training process? Are there any steps missing that you would add?
As the human resource manager, how would you evaluate the training needs of your staff?
How can you ensure that the training you would provide is effective? What data might be used to make your conclusion?
What considerations would you make for employee learning styles?
How would future training and development be impacted through human resource planning?
Do you have a plan to shape employee behavior within your organization? Why, or why not?
Performance Appraisal Analysis
As the human resource manager, what are two best practices you would follow when planning for employee performance appraisals?
What performance methods would you choose over other methods?
What are two of the common problems with appraisals? How would you avoid them in your organization?
What components do you think are required for effective human resource planning?

Explain the difference between redistricting and gerrymandering. How is the 2020 census expected to change the landscape of Texas politics? What occurred in 2013 which may change the way Texas redistricts our state? Could this lead to increased gerrymandering? Why or why not? We are seeing census delays as a result of the pandemic. How might these delays impact the 87th Texas Legislative session, and potentially, the 2022 election cycle in Texas? As a citizen or resident of Texas, what do you think of the politicizing of districts in an effort to garner votes from specific types of people (race, ethnicity, gender, political party affiliation, etc)? What are your over all thoughts and impressions about this issue? Should the politicians be taken completely out of the redistricting procedure, in an effort to maintain a bit more fairness or is the current system working? Why or why not?Question 2: (total 400 words, work cited in MLA format) (link of article in file) What are the arguments for and against legalized gambling/gaming in Texas? Based on polling numbers, how do Texans feel about this issue? What roadblocks to legalization do you forsee in the 2021 legislative session? Do you think the tax argument is compelling, especially while we are in the middle of a pandemic? What role might campaign contributions from people like Sheldon Adelson have on the lawmakers casting votes for or against legalization of gambling or gaming? Do you think these contributions could have an unfair impact on voted? Why or why not? Overall, are the pros or cons most convicing? Why?

In this section you will discuss the evidence that clinicians gather to diagnose the two diseases/disorders that you selected for Part 1. Use only credible sources for your Part II sources (Review “Is My Source Credible?” at https://sites.umgc.edu/library/libhow/credibility…. )
Part II submission should include the following information for both diseases you chose in Part I:
(a) Signs and symptoms of the disease.
(b) Explain the effects of the disease on healthy body structure and function, and how these effects relate to signs and symptoms.
(c) Discuss the tools or diagnostic tests that are used to make the diagnosis. Explain, in general terms, how each tool or test works and how the data from the tool or test conveys the relevant information to the clinician about the body function or structure that is impacted by the disease.
(d) For your Summary, discuss the following ideas:
– What differences and similarities exist between communicable and non-communicable diseases/disorders based on your choices?
– Risk factors
What are the risk factors for each of the diseases/disorders?
Are any of the risk factors in common?
Are any risk factors controllable? Why and how?
– How are the diagnostic tools or tests similar or different for the two diseases/disorders?
– Discuss at least one promising treatment or cure for each of the diseases/disorders you selected.
– Are there societal conditions that predispose these diseases/disorders to certain groups (think of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, age)? If a societal change is the cure (such as decreasing social injustice or less reliance on fossil fuels that pollute the environment), discuss any progress toward societal change.
