“The Significance and Ranking of Rights in the Amendments to the Constitution: A Reflection on Past Mistakes and Suggestions for the Founders”
Ranking the Amendments
The
Constitution and the 27 Amendments lay out, sometimes in very fine detail, how
our government works and the specific rights and protections we have from the
government. In fact, the 1st Amendment alone has between 6 and 8 rights packed
in one long sentence, depending on how you read it.
The
Constitution was meant to be hard to amend, and that is a good thing. For
instance, prohibition of alcohol was a popular political movement for about 30
years, so the 18th Amendment was passed to settle the issue. Passing an
amendment for even a popular movement turned out to be a really bad idea, so we
had to pass the 21st Amendment to fix it. Oops. You can probably think of other
things you see constantly in the news we argue about, and it might seem like a
good idea to just end the debate with an amendment, but we should bear these
past mistakes in mind.
Your
job in this paper:
1.
Rank the top three rights found in the Amendments to the Constitution. I want
you to dive deep – you can’t just say the 1st or 15th Amendment, I want you to
spell out a specific right in the Amendment and discuss why it is there and
what it means.
2.
Explain your reasoning for each right you chose and why you ranked them over
the others – points will be determined by originality and depth of the
explanation.
3.
If you could pop back in time to 1791, what is one Amendment (an enumerated
right or protection) you would have tried to get the founders to add?
4.
Get back into the time machine to 1787 – what would you warn the founders they
needed to change in the actual Constitution? Bear in mind your audience of
founders, do you think they would listen after the war they just fought?
For
#4, I am excluding a couple of things that are too obvious or too modern:
Slavery, guns, healthcare, student loans. Find something else the Founders
would have no idea might break.
The rules: Remember, this needs to be at least three pages of solid,
thoughtful material to even be considered for full credit. Students
receiving full credit usually turn in papers more than the minimum. Have
some fun with it, but remember this is an academic paper. use proper grammar and proof-read before sending, use the spell-checker,
do not end a sentence with a question mark (you are supposed to answer
questions, not ask them), et cetera.
Do
not put a heading at the top of your paper, as it does not count towards your
page minimum.
If
you are citing to an article or website then you need to use citations.
However, don’t bog down your essay with a bunch of statistics. I
encourage research on what each amendment does, but I don’t want a list copied
from a website. This needs to be your logic and writing. -
“Applying Emotional and Cultural Intelligence in a Business Setting” “Aligning Core Values and Cultural Intelligence for Social Responsibility: A Case Study of Alliah Company”
As a business professional, it is not only essential that you apply the principles of emotional intelligence (EI), but also the principles of cultural intelligence (CI) to positively impact the effectiveness of an organization.
SCENARIO:
Corollary Marketing is a leadership development company known for its EI training programs. Corollary was recently hired by Alliah Company’s leadership to conduct emotional intelligence training for Alliah’s employees. Alliah Company recently received a rating of 10/100 on the A–Z List of Emotionally Intelligent Companies.
Company leadership is very concerned that this low rating could significantly impact its market share, access to talent, and customer satisfaction. This is especially concerning since Alliah revised its mission, ethics, and corporate social responsibility statements this year.
Mission Statement: Alliah Company will provide the most innovative products designed by the best and brightest talent in the technology industry.
Ethics Statement: Alliah Company is committed to ensuring that all employees, suppliers, contractors, and any other entities engaged in business with Alliah will do the right thing for stakeholders.
Corporate Social Responsibility Statement: Alliah Company is committed to reducing the environmental impact of the business.
In addition to revising its mission, ethics, and corporate social responsibility statements, Alliah’s leadership wants to create an innovative culture that approaches all ideas as possible customer solutions that could create the next profitable approach to market growth.
Employees are not surprised by Alliah’s rating of 10/100 on the A–Z List of Emotionally Intelligent Companies. In recent communications with company leadership, the human resources team has advised the leadership to consider certain best practices.
Understanding that employees are valuable not just for their ideas that could lead to profits but as individuals who are valuable on their own merits, can improve morale.
Increasing the diversity of the company’s employees, suppliers, and contractors could better reflect the customers that purchase Alliah’s products.
Reducing resistance to allowing employees to work remotely requires reconsidering expressed concerns over not being able to manage employees’ productivity if they work outside of the office.
Changing the way employees communicate with leadership from a chain of command approach of working through managers to having avenues for meeting with leadership could open communication channels and increase trust.
Corollary’s EI training session will be coordinated by the employees’ managers, and company leadership will not be in attendance. The leadership is expecting that the result of the training will be a move towards their desire for a culture of innovation, and that the next year’s rating on the A–Z List of Emotionally Intelligent Companies will be significantly higher.
In this task, you will address a business scenario for a company that is wanting to become a more emotionally and culturally intelligent organization. You will be asked to first identify your own core values and assess whether your values will fit with the organization’s core values. Then, you will evaluate how you can apply the principles of EI and CI to successfully work with a diverse group of stakeholders.
REQUIREMENTS:
No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The originality report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
A. Explain your top four core values (e.g., accountability, honesty, integrity, respect, loyalty, fairness, etc.) with detail on why they are personally meaningful.
B. Evaluate how each of your four core values from part A align or misalign to Alliah’s values and social responsibility.
C. Evaluate how EI and CI impacts interactions within the Alliah Company by doing the following:
1. Explain two potential ways the Alliah’s leadership will improve their cultural intelligence by working with a more diverse group of stakeholders.
2. Explain, with a specific example, how you would overcome a potential challenge that may arise when working with Alliah’s diverse group of stakeholders.
3. Explain how an aspect of Hofstede’s six-dimensions of culture can help you respectfully communicate with Alliah’s diverse work culture.
Note: Identify one of Hofstede’s six dimensions (Power Distance, Individualism versus Collectivism, Masculinity versus Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long versus Short Term Orientation, or Indulgence versus Restraint). Then, provide a detailed explanation of how someone within the organization could communicate, accommodate, and/or interact with others using the concepts that specifically apply to the selected dimension, given the corporation’s diverse work culture.
D. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
E. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

You should briefly discuss what you gained from this module and reflect on the various tasks while studying the subject. You should include reflections on your learning experience during lectures/seminars/workshops and on your studying independently during your time in shaping your learning environment. A reflective review report is not a purely theoretical consideration of what you have learnt during the module but a narrative about how that learning relates to your current practice experience and/or a discussion about possible implications of the knowledge for your future career. In that sense it should contain references within the literature related to the subject of Business Risk Management connecting the theoretical frameworks to practical implications. Importantly your reflections should apply the theoretical models and tools to your own context. State any assumptions you feel necessary to support your report.

Title: The Importance of Comprehensive Sex Education in Schools
Identify a sexuality issue that has been covered recently by a local or national newspaper, e.g., on sex education (e.g. abstinence-only or comprehensive sex educ.), stem cell research, cloning, pornography, sex on the Internet… Draft a 250-800 word letter to the editor – a classic “Op Ed.” The issue/article chosen will determine the point/goal of the letter, e.g., taking issue with the coverage of a topic, or asking readers to consider another perspective. Students will not be graded on their point of view, rather how they support it, giving at least 2 solid arguments (rationale) for their opinion based on evidence-based facts and scholarly, primary research; citations (including in-text for our purposes) are required. You can support your stance by citing research, quoting an organization/taskforce, using theory, etc… Basically, you’re an advocate for your cause – you’re letting your voice be heard!
Include a heading with a place for my address, the date, and the paper’s address. Grab your reader right away with a hook. In the first sentence or two, address your topic. Don’t be long-winded getting into it. These people are busy.
Provide 2 references/statistical info. as citations at the bottom of your letter, in the proper format for your area of study, e.g., APA for psychology majors. This needs to include the citation for the original article you’re responding to. Depending on your topic, you may not have that much to work with. See what you can do. End your letter politely, e.g., “cordially”, “sincerely” etc…
Note: you don’t need to explain that you’re doing this for a class assignment. If it’s done well, I hope that you will send it. Keep it to a page or two (anything longer than that will be too long for them). Make sure it’s a sexuality- or gender-related topic. -
“The Impact of Optimism Measures on Validity: A Comparison of Two Studies”
Hello, after reading your initial discussion post on the constuct of optisim, I found additional research on the topic. A study conducted by Arrigani and Guzman (2024) focused on optimism in relation to female participants diagnosed with breast cancer. Arrigani and Guzman (2024) implemented the measure of a Questionnaire of Optimism, containing nine items, with a five point Likert scale. The results, from a statistical standpoint indicated optimism indicated a significantly high level of reliability (Arrigani & Guzman, 2024). Additonal research on the construct of optimism, presented by Soofi et al., (2023) examined certain components in relation to each other of their participants, including optimism, procrasnation, physical and mental health. The measure implemented to assess optimism was the Life Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R), which contains ten items, three which directly measure optimism (Soofi et al., 2023). The findings of the study, determined optimism has a strong correlation to both physical and mental health (Soofi et al., 2023). Do you feel an assessment, which direclty contains items to measure optiimism demonstrates a higher level of validity, over similar assessments? If so, in what way?
