  • “Promoting Work-Life Balance: Strategies for Improving Employee Well-Being and Company Success”

    Please reply to this discussion post, only need 150 words or less

    Hello everyone,
    Maintaining a work-life balance is essential for a company’s
    success. Employees who feel valued and well-rested tend to work harder
    and produce better output. However, there is still a debate on what
    work-life balance means. Should it only include paid labor or factor in
    family, community, and friendships? This question has been a research
    topic for years, and many companies still struggle to find a good
    balance, affecting employees’ overall well-being.
    Heterosexual women are the most vulnerable group when it comes
    to work-life balance. They often have to juggle work responsibilities,
    caring for their children, and other household chores. Companies must
    broaden their HR policies to address this issue and promote fairness and
    diversity. For instance, companies should allow employees to take time
    off for personal reasons, even if they don’t have paid time off (PTO) or
    are not going on maternity leave. Although some may abuse this policy,
    it will improve most employees’ mental health and performance.
    Other countries, such as Australia, have implemented laws and
    acts to improve work-life balance. For example, they allow part-time
    work, time off for family and children, and the ability to negotiate
    deadlines without consequences. The United States should also consider
    implementing similar policies to make employees happier, healthier, and
    more satisfied.
    Electronics, such as smartphones and laptops, can also hinder
    work-life balance. Employees often feel pressured to check their emails
    and websites outside of work hours, affecting their mental well-being.
    To address this issue, HR and management should enforce the rule that
    work should only be done during work hours and that employees should
    only be expected to answer the company’s needs and demands during work
    hours.
    To improve work-life balance, I recommend educating HR and
    management on its importance and enforcing policies that promote it. I
    would conduct research and present it to the team with a PowerPoint
    presentation. On-going monitoring should include surveys,
    questionnaires, and quarterly performance check-ins.

  • “Uncovering the Tactics and Impact of Contemporary Propaganda: A Critical Analysis” Title: Analyzing Propaganda: Message, Persuasion, and Intent

    ASSIGNMENT 1  Propaganda   image choice + essay
    As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda, in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence and persuade an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political, religious or social agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of ideological warfare…and can refer to uses that are generally benign or innocuous, such as public health recommendations, signs encouraging citizens to participate in a census or election, or messages encouraging persons to report crimes to law enforcement, among others.
    Your assignment is to find one example of what you might consider contemporary (21stcentury – preferably current) published or shared propaganda. This may be single advertisements, posters, websites, videos, tweets, or any kind of published content.  This could be a single example, or a complete campaign.  In general, you should look beyond commercial advertisement (consumerism), and towards public service announcements or any more direct visual communication for a cause or ideology: a movement, a belief, a political position, a conflict, etc.  However, while technically different, commercial advertising can often blur the line between selling a product or service and persuasion toward a particular social cause or point of view and could be considered for this assignment (see notes on advertising vs. propaganda in the supplemental Propaganda_guide.pdf, attached).  Students may not use any images found through simple internet searches of “propaganda” as your selection.  You should make every effort to find and/or photograph your choice in the real world somewhere, in the city, on the subways, in your daily experience, or one that you remember seeing.  This may include social media campaigns or ads/images you see on web browsers; however, online choices should be well researched.  This means clicking on any pop-up ad, and/or researching the secondary information in the ad that identifies who produced the content.    
    *Specific focus will be placed on addressing the common persuasion tactics used in advertising and propaganda. You must identify which specific common persuasion techniques are being used in your choice, illustrated and defined in the supplemental Propaganda_guide, attached with this assignment on Blackboard.  There will most likely be more than one tactic used.  Students may not use the examples given in the guide as their choice for this assignment. 
    Assignment Instructions :
    Read fully the supplemental Propaganda_guide (.pdf attached file on Blackboard)
    Choose an example of 21st century (preferably current) published propaganda. 
    Write an essay (min. 500 words, 10-11pt/single spaced.) describing your choice & why you have chosen it.  Images of your choice must be included with the essay.  If your choice is a video clip, include a functional link or file.
    Submit essay (with image or video link included) into Blackboard. 
    In your essay, answer these questions:
    Identify the common persuasion tactics (listed in the supplemental Propaganda_guide.pdf) that are being used in your choice. 
    Identify and evaluate the tone of voice being used in your choice to communicate the message (i.e. the expression or affectation behind the words/images), using simple, descriptive words that you feel express the tone such as: paternal, maternal, omniscient, aggressive, patronizing, rallying, desperate, sympathetic, angry, humorous, friendly…etc.
    What elements of the communication are stressed and why? 
    Identify what specifically is being communicated (the underlying message), and the target demographic/audience.  
    What kind of language does the speaker use to address the audience? Is the message presented by or through a particular person, personality, or character?  If so, who? How does the speaker persuade you, the viewer? How does the work make you feel?
    Who created/published/paid for the propaganda? What is the intent/agenda of the propaganda?

  • Title: The Relevance of Frederick Douglass’s “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Speech in Today’s Society

    “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” by Frederick Douglass is not only a brilliant work of oratory. It speaks to our every frustration spurred by the gap between the ideals of the United States and the reality we witness every day; between the Bill of Rights and our decaying civil liberties; between the USA’s international declarations of human rights and the ordered drone attacks backed by presidential “kill lists”; between the words “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and a nation that leads the world in jailing its own citizens; between our highest ideals and our darkest realities. Even though his were words that spoke directly to his moment in history, they still ring with an unsettling power. As Douglass says: “Had I the ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would today pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.”

Do you agree or disagree with Douglass’s statement that “there is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour”? Explain. What other injustices were going on in the United States in the first half of the nineteenth century that could further justify Douglass’s statement? In what ways do you think that the speech continues to be relevant today? Explain. Rubric:20 points total

  • “Lessons Learned from Past Disasters: A Case Study of Emergency Management in [chosen event]”

    As you study the evolution of emergency management you will come across references to real disaster situations and how emergency management responded to handle such events.  Much can be learned about the discipline through such case studies. As such, I would like you to write a paper in APA format (10-15 pages double spaced not including the title, abstract, or reference pages) on a particular emergency or disaster situation from the list below that has occurred in the United States and describe the “lessons learned”.  Using these lessons, I would like you, at the end of the paper, to identify viable ways that key lessons could be implemented so agencies handle future incidents better and do not repeat mistakes made on the identified incident. The paper will be due at the end of week 6 and should include:
    1)  A review of current literature on the particular emergency or disaster to include citations from your textbook and a minimum of three other publications,
    2) An introduction that includes the background of the event,
    3) A description of the “lessons learned” from the event ,
    4) Your analysis of how such a situation (or the impact of such a situation) can be prevented in the future or how the response to a similar emergency or disaster that occur in the future can be improved upon. This should include how principles learned during the class from your textbook could be applied (such as use of the N.R.F., N.I.M.S., etc.)
    5) Identify viable ways of implementing lessons learned solutions on future incidents.
    Structure a real argument and tell a real story. A research paper is not merely a collection of internet articles and book citations you dug up and put down on paper, it is the way you weave all of that into a story that convinces the reader that you know what the story is and understand how improvement in future such situations can be made.

    Topic Choices:
    1) MOORE, OK tornado of 2013 
    2) HURRICANE MICHAEL – 2018  
    3)  CALIFORNIA “CAMP” FIRE OF 2018 
    4) NEW MADRID EARTHQUAKE OF 1811 – While this event occurred in the 1800’s, there is a big concern that we may be close to having another event in this area. The threat is real enough that response exercises have been held recently to prepare for another earthquake. If you choose this topic, other more current earthquake strike information may be utilized too.
