I’m trying to study for my Computer Science course and I need some help to understand this question.

For this assignment, you will be exploring your topic/question from the Research Proposal and Preliminary Bibliography (Module 3). You will also start reading and thinking about the sources you found in that project. Your purposes for the presentation are primarily to explore and to question. Above all, resist closure and avoid making an argument or taking a final stance on your issue. (You will get to do that in the final project of the semester.) You still can–and should–have opinions and reactions to your sources, but you shouldn’t settle your entire research question yet.

This assignment will not result in a single, polished opinion on your topic, as that is what your portfolio project is intended to be. Rather, you will create one of the following options to present to your peers as an evolving presentation:

• PowerPoint
• Prezi
• Video Blog with presentation and voiceover

Part 1: Initial Post

This is a small-group discussion forum. Continue working in your assigned group based on the theme you chose. Post your PowerPoint, Prezi, or video blog to the discussion forum. Address the following in your presentation:

• Reintroduce your topic and research questions: reuse elements of your Research Proposal here, but keep it brief, i.e. one paragraph. Be sure to note your thesis.
• Summarize and respond to two of your research sources.
  • Provide a direct hyperlink when you first introduce the source and an APA citation at the end of your post.
  • Use APA in-text citations for any quotations, or paraphrases. It is best to start paraphrasing your sources here.
• Pose exploratory questions about your source.
• Keep your own perspective open-ended and exploratory. Don’t commit to a “side” or a stance yet; consider the issue from multiple angles.

If you choose the video blog, post reference information directly in the forum.

I’m stuck on a Business question and need an explanation.

I am currently doing my assessments to be included in this discussion. Will attach it to you when done and approve of the tutor. I will be attaching the rubic for it to. The scenario is a total of 6 pages. I can only send 5 for now.

I have included the discussions on what I have been done before I can turn it in to you..

  Class: Please be sure to complete the Week One Assessments prior to answering this question, as you will need to include your Assessment results in your answer. For example, your personality type and other traits, such as whether you are introverted or extraverted, will all impact the approach you take for this scenario and sharing your results also demonstrates that approach or alignment to others and is key for these self-application like scenarios. Based upon your personality type and perhaps your learning style, how would you be most comfortable in approaching Larry, and what would you say to him? Try your best to also reference/demonstrate principles from Chapter One in your answer. I hope all this helps with your first week’s posting. I’ve also attached a worksheet from Chapter One, which you can use to save your answers for this week’s assessments, as you will need this information for your Learning Journal assignment as well as in answering this question.

  Module One: Difficult SituationsStudent Sample #1: ISTJMy personality code is ISTJ. Introvert (11%), Sensing (25%), Thinking (1%) and Judging (28%). It appears that I am more likely to think inwards than discussing my thoughts in a public. I also like to use my senses to make decisions and judgments. Using my mind and feelings to make decisions are about equal. I rely on my experience and knowledge as to right and wrong. I trust my gut feelings, because they have proven to be correct almost every time. I will wait and think about my responses to issues in order to make sure I am not saying something incorrect or rash. I am proven and capable of handling difficult situations including employee issues and misconduct. I will handle them fairly, respectfully and correct to company policy.First off Jane and Larry share responsibility for the performance of the team, therefore, Larry did not have authority to implement a bonus plan without Jane’s approval. Due to this management has the right to review and should nullify the bonus plan. It will also be important to let staff know the ethical reasons for revising the bonus plan and give them a definite date for the rollout of the revised plan. When developing a new plan, management must keep in mind the current transition of the company and the experience level of all the staff. There are a couple of experienced staff who’s bonus can be tied to the training of new employees, which will help the company overall and get all employees up to a baseline level. In addition, they should be rewarded for their experience and performance and improvement of the company’s bottom line. The new employee’s bonuses will be tied to how fast they are trained and up to speed by a certain date. New employees shall also have the opportunity to earn a performance bonus. After a defined date in the future all bonuses will be tied only to individual performance. It will also be necessary to have some sort of company function to promote employee engagement and teamwork. During this function the management can present the company’s overall mission and policies, and let employees where the company stands financially and what is the plan for the future with employee assistance.Finally, Larry should receive a letter of reprimand due to his unethical behavior, which leads to conflict and favoritism amongst staff. However, this should be done privately with upper management, who will inform Larry that he has a lot of knowledge and is a valuable member of the team. He will also be assigned the task to work with Jane to come up with the new bonus plans described above. Both Larry and Jane will present their bonus plans to management at a defined date.Student Sample #2: ESFJMy personality type is ESFJ. This personality type, according to surveys, covers about 12% of the population. (Personality Types ESFJ, 2014) ESFJ personality type people are very traditional; we tend to follow rules and regulations to the T. We are also very committed to doing what is right for everyone and like to have things harmonious. My assessment stated that I was moderate extroversion over introversion, moderate thinking over feeling, and distinctly judging over feeling. My learning type was mild Read/Write. Read/Write learners favor learning based on text input or output. (Southwestern CC, 2014) This means that we prefer to learn by using lists, notes, dictionaries, or Power Points. It is easier for us to understand things if they are in black and white in front of us.Because of my personality I would want to try and develop a business plan that would benefit everyone rather than one that was tailored to certain people. Since I don’t’ like confrontation, I would pull Larry aside and ask for a private meeting. In this meeting I would explain to him the importance of trying to come up with an equal plan that would suit everyone’s different abilities. I would be open-minded in my conversation with Larry and ask him to explain his plan and how it works to me. I would then make suggestions to him as to how to make it a little more uniform throughout the office in turn giving everyone an equal chance at the bonuses. Because of the fact that I don’t want to hurt his feelings or cause a conflict, I would not criticize his ideas or accuse him of being bias. I would simply try to work with him to make a more suitable plan for everyone. I would explain how our office has been slipping downhill and how the only way to fix that would be to help the majority, not to target bonuses to the few that are already motivated to do well.Works CitedPersonality Types ESFJ.

  Student Sample #3:INFJIf I were Jane I would definitely have to talk to Larry about his new bonus plan. Since I have a personality type of INFJ and am both a visual and kinesthetic learner, I would feel most comfortable talking to Larry face to face. I feel like I get my point across better when I can see and gauge a person’s reactions. I would prefer to discuss the bonus plan outside the team environment as not to be overheard. I would prefer to talk with Larry outside of his office since that is his territory and in my opinion that would start the discussion off on the wrong foot. I would send Larry a message asking him if we could meet for lunch at a nearby café. Assuming he accepts I would spend some time that morning preparing a graph to support my ideas. At lunch time I would try to meet Larry in the building so we could walk to the café together. During our walk I suspect we would have pleasant chit chat about our weekend and how our families were doing. When we get to lunch and settle in I would bring up my concerns about his new bonus plan.I would start off by letting Larry know that I was surprised by the announcement of his new plan especially since he had not mentioned it or consulted with me. Without being too confrontational I would express to him my disappointment that I had not been part of the planning. As a manager with an interest in the team’s performance I would want to input on such an important motivator for the salespeople. As co-managers of the team we should both have a say in major decisions. Hopefully Larry would acknowledge my equal interest in the team and be willing to listen to my opinion. I would tell Larry that his bonus plan seems to favor those with more tenure with the company which is great for them but not very motivating for the newer team members. I would give him the graph I had prepared showing that from last month’s sales Samuel and James would qualify for the new bonus with great success; however the rest of the sales team would fall short. I would then suggest that we could supplement his plan with a caveat for the salespeople just getting started with the company. Hopefully Larry would realize that there needs to be something done to his bonus plan to make it more motivating for the entire team, and also see the importance of consulting with me before making major decisions.Student Sample #4: ENFJI am an ENFJ. Actually, many years ago I took this same personality test but it was over 500 questions long. While I am now more extroverted than I was then, the seminar leader said that I fell into a .01% of people in the world. All of my answers were almost equal in every aspect. She said that I use all portions of my brain equally (Right, Left, Front and Back). She stated that I could take the short test multiple times throughout the day and based on what was going on in my life at that moment my classification could possibly change. This is confirmed also in my learning style which lists me as Multi-Modal. I was also affirmed in my career choice since my list contained Science (Technical), Computer Programmer, and Management. My initial career path out of high school was in Education (initially music education but switched to computer science later on).

  Before I could effectively communicate with Larry, I would need more background on him than I have from the scenario description. I need to know his personality type. This scenario makes the assumption that I have worked with him for some time. It also lists that I had a difficult ride in to work that day. My first step would have to be that I NOT jump to conclusions. I would take a moment to leave my negative ride to work at the door then focus my concentration on the new bonus plan. After careful review of the plan, if I did not see it as beneficial for the entire company I would privately ask Larry to validate the new plan by explaining how it is beneficial for the company as a whole. I would request that he explain this in person and not by email so I can hear his tone of voice and read body language.

  As “Jane”, I will walk into his office with a look of respect. This scenario has us as a female manager, which stereotypically are not treated with fairness and respect. Our scenario does not state if Larry holds a title over or below mine. So many unknowns in the presentation of this scenario. I can only assume by the scenario description that Larry does not respect Jane because he did not consult with her on this and the 2 highest benefactors of his bonus plan are males. I also have to assume that since sales are down it is due to multiple problems. Senior members of the sales team are not selling as much as they used to, and/or the new sales members have not had the chance or the encouragement to excel in their sales. I would start this conversation by saying, “Larry, I have had a chance to review the new bonus plan that you sent to everyone. It appears to be somewhat biased to the sales employees with more tenure. Can you please explain your vision for this bonus plan?”While observing his body language, I listen intently, without interruption to his explanation. I will nod and keep eye contact to show that I am actively listening to his explanation. Based on the summation of his response I will have one of the following follow up questions.Scenario Larry response 1: (Larry crossed arms, stern eye contact and tone-Defensive) My senior sales people work hard and I want them to be rewarded for it. (Jane Reply) I want to reward the senior members as well, but I would like to collaborate and agree on the best plan for the company as a whole. Would you be willing to review this plan again and possibly make a few enhancements so it really makes our department shine to upper management? I was thinking that our senior sales members could mentor our younger members. A little competition between Samuel and James to see who could make the most sales would really help us all as a whole. They have so much experience to share with this younger group. Whoever has the highest sales this quarter gets to split the bonus with his team, not just the highest sales person.Scenario Larry response 2: (Larry hands behind head, feet on desk, little eye contact-arrogant) I don’t see a problem with it. If you have been here as long as some of these sales people you should get paid more. (Jane Reply) I don’t think you realize the impact this plan has had on the entire department. Have you seen some of our employees crying at their desk? You know as well as I do that sales are down and we have had a lot of turn over. I would hate for us to take another report to upper management with more turn over and poor sales. Our sales can’t increase if we can’t keep the employees we have. Do you want us to get the reputation of being a bad place to work? Let’s kick around a few ideas and see how we can make the bonus plan favorable for everyone. If Samuel and James are as good as you say they are, then let’s give them a chance to prove it. For the next quarter, let’s put everyone on even ground and see who can sell the most. I know we generally give everyone a 2% sales bonus, but what if we gave our top seller a 3% bonus, our lowest seller a 1.5% bonus and everyone else the standard 2%. Scenario Larry response 3(Larry hands on arms of chair, professional eye contact, concerned tone) This new plan sounded good at the time. James and Samuel have been such good friends and co-workers and they have been here a long time. It seemed like they were never rewarded for their time here. (Jane Reply) I understand you were just trying to reward them, but we can’t afford to have more turn over than we already have. Sales are already down and training a new person is only going to make it dip further. Upper management will be looking at replacing us if we can’t find a way to turn this into a positive. We are supposed to be a team and we should have worked on this together. I’m actually a little hurt that you didn’t even let me look at it before you sent it out to the team. Let’s announce to the team that we are going to review your plan together and make some enhancements to promote a stronger bond with our sales team.

I’m stuck on a Law question and need an explanation.

We have a good idea of where we are now in regards to community policing. But where do we go in the future to build on our successes and forge stronger ties between the community and government service providers? The Department of Justice and the International Association of Chiefs of Police have recently released a publication called “Bridging the Gap Between Law Enforcement and Communities of Color”. Navigate to http://www.theiacp.org/CommunitiesOfColor and find the first section of the tool kit, called Policing for Progress. Within the Policing for Progress section are thirteen examples of community policing efforts. Select one of the examples, click on its title and learn more about it. With regard to the community policing effort you have chosen, analyze the role of the Chief Executive’s office in its operation. In addition, evaluate and interpret the role of the community within the effort.

In approximately 150 words, summarize what you have learned. Then, in approximately 300 words, address the following issues;

1) Effective communication is probably the most important aspect of any kind of relationship. How do law enforcement and community members in the community policing effort that you chose to analyze go about establishing and maintaining effective communications?

2) Within the community policing effort that you chose to analyze, what are the mechanisms used to maintain a good working relationship between all of the stakeholders in times of conflict and uncertainty?

3) After analyzing the community policing effort you chose, what do you believe the future of community policing is?

I’m trying to study for my History course and I need some help to understand this question.

The NAACP deployed an unprecedented amount of social science research in the Supreme Court hearing for the Brown vs Board of Education case, drawing heavily on the research of Dr Kenneth Brown and his wife Dr Mamie Brown. In order to overturn the Plessy vs Ferguson case from 1896, they needed to prove conclusively that separate education could not be made equal. Read the attached documents to learn more about the research that the NAACP submitted as evidence, especially the most famous “doll tests”.

In the Brown vs Board of Education decision, the Supreme Court argued ““To separate [African-American children] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.” How did the Clark research influence their thinking? What aspects of the Clark’s research were the most important to overturning school segregation?

Two cases documents are attached below.

I need support with this Business question so I can learn better.

Reflection Paper

Instructions

In this unit, you were introduced to various leadership strategies for communicating organizational vision, goal setting, and decision-making. Effective leaders are known for seeking ways to better connect with followers in order to enhance team performances, promote organizational effectiveness, and seek clarity on what has been working well while determining what may need to change.

Using your current employer or a company that interests you, respond to the following questions/topics.

• Briefly describe your company, including its vision. How does leadership support the vision?
• Identify potential problems or issues (current or future) that your company might experience if teams do not respectfully follow the requests of leadership when making crucial organizational decisions.
• Explain how followers can play a vital role in decision-making and goal setting if they are highly engaged in organizational processes and collaborate effectively in meetings.
• Analyze how different delivery styles of communication from leaders can positively or negatively affect the behavior and performances of followers.
• What might this company do in the future to improve leadership practices and performance measures for all workers? Include your rationale.

Your APA-formatted response must be a minimum of two pages in length (not including the title page and the references page) and must include an introduction, a thesis statement (concise summary of the main point of the paper), and a clear discussion of the questions/topics above.

Your response must include a minimum of two credible references.You may use an article from your required reading. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations

I’m studying for my History class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

By choosing the best approach from the start, researchers are much more likely to get the best results to answer research questions. In your initial post, address the following:

• Select a research topic that interests you and also is an important social problem (Ineffective Government). Then, use the four combinations of worldviews, designs, and research methods in Figure 1.1 of Chapter 1 of the course text to discuss a project involving your selected research topic that brings together worldview, designs, and methods. Identify whether this would involve quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research.
• Using the research project you have described above, state the essence of this study in one sentence and then write your research title. By doing this, you focus on the key elements of the study.
• Explain the key elements of your proposed study: What is the social problem? Which identity group in society is most affected by this social problem? Is there a particular place or other unique aspects which is important to note about your study?
• Next, list three keywords related to your topic and use these keywords to do a database search for journal articles on the topic in the Ashford University Library. Indicate the three keywords in your post and list an example of a journal article found for each keyword. (Note: Each journal article found must be listed in APA format.) Indicate if you needed to adjust your keywords in order to locate appropriate journal articles for your study, and explain that process.

I need an explanation for this Powerpoint question to help me study.

The main learning outcome of this unit addresses the importance of software, hardware, and telecommunications to a business. This involves the support of current and new, emerging technologies to the business. The assignment is a good assessment because you have to think of areas of an organization that could benefit by emerging technologies. You will need to research the technology’s capabilities and discuss the advantages the technology will offer an organization. This way, you have to be able to assess how technology supports business.

Assignment Instructions:

Imagine that you are an IT manager charged with keeping up with current technology. Create a PowerPoint presentation for the chief information officer that provides an overview of two areas that you want to update based on emerging technologies. Be sure to provide the new technologies’ capabilities and the advantages they will bring to the organization.

Be sure to cite all sources used in a reference slide with proper APA formatting. Be sure to provide at least two scholarly sources from the CSU Online Library. Your PowerPoint presentation must contain eight to ten slides; the cover and reference slides do not count in the length requirement.

You may also use the speaker’s notes function for the presentation part of your PowerPoint and provide transitions from one slide to the next.

Below you will find a helpful resource created by the CSU Success Center on developing APA-style PowerPoint presentations:

https://columbiasouthern.adobeconnect.com/_a1174888831/powerpointbestpractices/

If you need additional help, contact the CSU Success Center.

I’m working on a History exercise and need support.

For this assignment, you are to read current news articles about Latin America from the website for the North American Congress of Latin America (NACLA) and submit two written reviews during the semester. Please submit one review per due date. Each review is to be at least 3-4 pages and each due date corresponds to a regional topic in Latin America. I’ll explain further later in these instructions. The due dates for these reports are January 10 and 17. Here are the regional topics corresponding to each due date:

• January 10: Mexico, Central America (Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Belize, or Panama), or the Caribbean region (any of the island nations or territories like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Haiti)

• To select the articles, click on any of the NACLA tags to see a page of various articles that you can access. For the first due date of January 10, select one article from the following pages: Mexico (Links to an external site.), Guatemala (Links to an external site.), Honduras (Links to an external site.), El Salvador, (Links to an external site.) Nicaragua (Links to an external site.), Panama (Links to an external site.), Costa Rica (Links to an external site.), Belize (Links to an external site.), Dominican Republic (Links to an external site.), Cuba (Links to an external site.), Puerto Rico (Links to an external site.), and Haiti (Links to an external site.).

• In terms of the content of each report, I am looking for two main points of discussion. First, you should devote the first half of the report to a summary of the main points in the article that you selected. To help you to address this issue, consider some of these questions: What is the main issue being discussed? (i.e. immigration, elections, education, environment, women’s issues, crime, etc.) Who are the main personalities mentioned in the article? (i.e. Enrique Peña Nieto, Nicolás Maduro, Mauricio Macri, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Jair Bolsonaro, President Trump, Secretary of State Pompeo, etc.) How does the issue affect the people of the country mentioned in the article? Does the issue have any connection with United States interests? In other words, please try to be as objective as possible during this portion of the assignment.
