Ethics In Your Discipline Or Ethics In Research

  

This assignment has many benefits. First, it requires a search of indexing and abstracting databases from the online library to find an article that meets the specified criteria (must be related to ethics). It also emphasizes what a scholarly article is; to discern between scholarly and non-scholarly writing; to condense someone else’s lengthy argument into a concise report; to think critically about what has been read by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the research; and, thus, to become participants in the discussions regarding the topic at hand.

FYI: Wikipedia is not an acceptable resource for academic writing. Please use the university library for reference. Articles must be peer-reviewed.

February 21st, 2020 Government Comments Off on Ewert

Ewert

After reading Moral Criticisms of the Market by Ken Ewert, I find myself agreeing with the key points that are highlighted throughout the text about the market. Ewert points out that something non-living, such as an economic system, cannot be moral or immoral. We as humans will sin naturally, with all of it stemming from Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Ewert states, Free market restrains human sin, it makes no pretense of purging people of their selfishness, materialism, individualism, and drive for power. The sin of man, as taught through Biblical teachings, cannot be morally challenged through any human system. This includes economic systems, meaning it does not matter if the economic system is that of a free market. Evil will exist in any economic system and in a free market; individuals are allowed to pursue their goals instead of their needs. This can lead people to be self-centered. Ewert says that we are not only able to choose unselfish values and priorities, but we are also able to create the wealth necessary to practically fulfill them. Ewert acknowledges that there are a range of problems within the free market and its religious criticisms. However, the church should not be involved in the economic decisions within a community. In a free market we are not only able to choose unselfish values and priorities, but we are also able to create the wealth necessary to practically fulfill them (Ewert, 1989). Man must accept responsibility for their actions and understand how those decisions impact the economy and in turn, the community.  In my opinion, we should allow individuals to have the free will to handle their money as they morally see fit. We should not force others to worship the idea and power of money, but instead encourage others to turn their praise to God.

Leading Change-Deliverable 3 – Change Management Roles

 

Competency

Examine various roles in change management.

Instructions

Organizational change initiatives are a team effort. It is the job of the leadership team to ensure that transition is a success. To do so, the right leaders must be put in place, and each must hold a thorough understanding of their roles and responsibilities.

Examine the , then analyze the following:

  • What are the challenges facing Delta Pacific?
  • What change initiative would be most effective to implement within this organization? (Use the Rasmussen Resource Library if you need assistance with identifying change models.)
  • What type of change leaders need to be put in place? (Ex.: Change Lead, Change Managers, Change Analyst, etc.)
  • What departments, areas, and stakeholders will each leader be responsible for?
  • Where will each change leader be most effective?
  • What roles will each change leader need to play at their level of influence?

Leadership Structure Plan

Utilizing the above information, create a Leadership Structure Plan that includes the following:

  • At least three change leader positions to be put in place for the change initiative.
  • Description of each change leader’s roles and responsibilities.
  • Account of departments they will lead.
  • A short description of how each position will effectively aid in the success of the initiative.

Note: When creating your plan, think in terms of a job description and job analysis, and the detail used to specifically identify the roles and responsibilities of each particular job assignment.  While this particular project does not have a page requirement, keep in mind that a thorough plan should be no less than 3 pages in length.

The paper should include an APA formatted cover page and reference page.

February 21st, 2020 MLA, Other Comments Off on The 400 Blows Analysis

The 400 Blows Analysis

Directions: The ONLY source I want you to consult for this paper is the film itself. Don’t tell me what anyone else says about the meaning of this film. Just explore your own response to it. In this case, I care what YOU think, and nobody else.

Prompt:
Reflect on The 400 Blows (1959), the assigned film for this week. What is this movie really about, and how does the director communicate that to you? Discuss how the filmmaker uses technique to produce meaning. Consider choices in…
mise-en-scene (composition, the performances, the lighting, the setting, the production design, the costumes, etc.)
cinematography (how shots are composed, if there is any movement, etc.)
sound (including the music, sound effects, the dialogue, etc.)
editing (how the shots are ordered in any given sequence, montage, continuity, etc.)
OR some other aspects not listed here.

I do not expect you to discuss all elements of film form and style. Instead, focus on one or two aspects that you find most interesting (e.g. the mise-en-scene and the cinematography, OR the editing and the sound). How do these choices in film form and style items contribute to the films meaning? What is the theme of the film, and how do you know? Describe, in detail, examples from more than one scene, to discuss how the parts add up to the overall meaning of the artwork.

The tone of the paper can be informal, but it must go BEYOND THE PLOT. Yes, you may mention story elementsyou will need to, in order to communicate effectivelybut you must do more than summarize the events. AVOID WRITING LIKE THIS: First this happened, then that happened, then this other thing happened.”

 Additional Information for Assignment 

Introduction

In this 5 9-sentence paragraph, introduce the two organizations by name and industry. If they are well-known (Delta or Google or Sears or Kodak) introduce them briefly but it is alright to assume that readers are familiar with orgs this large and/or established. More introduction is needed if the organization is smaller or not well-known — be sure to describe the product or service they provide. Briefly state the issue each faced that required change leadership. Perhaps a merger/acquisition, perhaps a technological development, or sudden departure of a long time CEO or President.

Compare and Contrast: Organizations and Situations

In this section, clearly state three ways the organizations and the issues faced were similar. Then state three examples of how they were different. A detailed description of the organizations and their situations should require three to four paragraphs.

Compare and Contrast: The Models

Then, state assertively the change model you think was used in each case. Be clear about how each model is different and how they are the same. You might use a table or graphic for this:

ADKAR

Lewins Three Phase Model

Kotters 8 Steps

Details about a similarity

Details about a similarity

Details about a similarity

Details about a similarity

Details about a difference

Text Box: In the places where the circles overlap, detail facts that apply to both models the similarities 

Be sure to address the contrast and comparison to the situations faced as well as to the models themselves. This is your chance to demonstrate an understanding of the models in theory and in practice.
