560 U.S. 746 (2010), a city police department read personal text
messages sent and received on a pager that the employer owned and issued
to an employee, a police officer. Some of the text messages were to the
employee’s wife and some were to a fellow officer with whom he was
having an affair. The employee challenged disciplinary actions taken
against him, arguing that the privacy of his messages was protected by
the ban on “unreasonable searches and seizures†found in the Fourth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.Based on this description and the information about the case provided in the textbook, address the following:Should employees who utilize their work computers to store or send
personal information, or to surf the internet, have an expectation of
privacy for personal information, data, and emails generated, accessed,
or stored on their work computers? Explain your perspective.In your response posts to your peers, offer your own perspectives and experience.

/in /by adminUsing the topic of your research project, fully and clearly develop your Study 2 Introduction, Methods, Expected Results, and Discussion sections. Remember: this is a proposal (so you have not collected the data) and should be an experiment or quasi-experimental design (which means at least one of your IVs is manipulated and randomly assigned to participants). You will need to explain your materials and procedures in your own words (you can “borrow†materials and procedures from a combination of other studies, but you must put in your own words and cite the source; copying and pasting is plagiarism). Remember you are writing an expected results section that includes the analyses you would conduct with these data if you ran the study and what you would expect to find with those analyses. Make sure in your Study 2 Discussion section to explain the results and what they mean with regards to your hypothesis, and how these data will inform the literature on the topic, as well as any limitations that may come from this research design.

/in /by adminOver the next several weeks, you will be building a Case Study, a Proposal, a Presentation, and a Social Media Campaign that will all focus on one topic: a specific problem in a workplace. In this week’s Icebreaker, you’ll be identifying the problem you want to explore. You will find it helpful to review the M4.4 Discussion and M4.5 Case Study instructions before beginning this activity. In your response, be sure to introduce the problem and the effects the problem is having in the workplace. Then, include any background information you believe is relevant to a general audience’s understanding of the problem and its effects. The goal of this activity is to help you prewrite the Introduction and Background sections of the Case Study and get feedback on them from your peers and your instructor.Your response should be no more than three minutes in length. You will find it helpful to write your response before attempting to record it. As a general rule of thumb, one minute of spoken words is roughly equivalent to 150 written words.

/in /by adminHow does “Raising Arizona†make use of visual storytelling through mise en scene and cinematography to shape the characters and to reinforce or subvert the narrative? What message or theme do you take away from the film due to this? I am more concerned with your overall argument and the analysis that you use to support it than structural elements (grammar and organization do still count though). Write for an audience who has seen the film. There is no need for summary. Cite examples including specific shots and visuals as well as direct quotes of dialogue to highlight what you find interesting about the film. Look over the textbook or the slideshows to get an idea for some of the terms you can use to describe the things you are seeing. Feel free to use comparisons to other films and incorporate external information, sources such as filmmaker interviews or critical analysis, but be sure to cite them in text if you do.

Should we further multiculturalism and diversity? Why or why not?Discussion week 6:Compare Nietzsche’s concept of the “Will to Power” with Alfred Adler’s insight that Nietzsche’s “Will to Power” is not essential to human nature, but is, in fact, a neurotic pattern of behavior based on a “fictional goal” created by the individual in order to cope with the demands of society (CO5)Discussion week 7:Animal RightsDo you think that non-human animals have interests (CO4)? Does this mean that they also have rights? Explain.Discussion week 8:Self-Evident IntuitionsWestermarck writes, “…a theory which leads to an examination of the psychological and historical origin of people’s moral opinions should be more useful than a theory which postulates moral truths enunciated by self-evident intuitions that are unchangeable” (CO5). Agree or disagree and give your reasons.
