Scenario: You have just started work as the new Human Resources Manager for Acme Manufacturing, a Fortune 1,000 company. The job has been vacant for six months now. You have been wondering about this, especially since reading about employee harassment incidents and fights recently in the news.
The General Manager (GM) calls you into his office the minute you arrive. He shuts the door after saying a quick word of welcome, and begins to tell you about an incident that happened last week that needs your immediate attention. The company’s manufacturing operations runs three shifts of production workers so the plant is operating 24/7. Over the past six months hostilities have arisen between employees on the third and first shifts. What started out as jeering and criticisms by the first shift, claiming they have to clean up the mess and complete all of the work left undone by the third shift, has escalated to physical confrontations and altercations. Although the GM said that aggressive bantering back-and-forth is common for shift workers in manufacturing, he admitted he was worried after seeing a gun on one of the employees last week that was concealed, or so the employee thought, in a shoulder holster under this jacket. The GM said he needs your help. Specifically, he asked that you:
- Determine and explain the appropriate disciplinary action for the employees involved in this situation and identify motivational alternatives that can help turn the situation around;
- Draft policies and procedures that could be used in the guidance and performance management of the shift workers; and
- Develop performance standards for the shift workers, identify appropriate methods of performance appraisal, and develop appropriate training to help get them back on track.
Feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of the situation, you go back to your office and begin devising a plan to help get employee relations back on track, realizing that human resource policies and practices may help avert potentially dangerous situations in the future if implemented correctly.
Write a 8-10 page memo to the GM responding to the three concerns listed above. Be sure to cite any references used in proper APA format.

Film Analysis and Its Applications Wk5 D2
|
Prepare As you prepare to write this discussion, take a few moments to do the following:
|
|
|
Reflect As you have learned in this class, film is a far-reaching medium with the potential to affect the greater fabric of our culture. Our understanding this potential and our ability to analyze it reach far beyond just this medium and into all areas of our social structures and culture. For example, the practice of closely analyzing particular films, which we’ve honed in this course, is the same practice of analysis which you will find in other courses – or in learning any new skill. |
|
|
Write (due Thursday, Day 3) Based on the films you have watched and the ways you have learned to interpret meaning in them, discuss your ideas about how films engage social concerns and have lasting effects on society. Pick a film (or films) as evidence of this dynamic and describe the social and cultural resonance you see. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. |
RE: SOCW6361 – Small Group Discussion to Colleagues: Presenting Policy Proposals (WK7)

Response to Joey L. Wallace
How might you communicate the needs of vulnerable populations to policy makers who may not share your views about the need for services?
As an effective social worker who deals with policy changes it is important to know your state legislators and policy makers. Emotional appeals are effective when you are trying to influence a behavior or change the opinion of someone (Jones, 2017). When using this strategy, the social worker must be able to present the material for their cause in a manner that elicits an emotion that causes change. The social worker can get on the legislator’s calendar by getting to know the legislator personally and enlisting the support and resources of policy organizations (Jackson-Elmoore, 2005). Once the social worker is scheduled time they can hold conferences, meetings, and workshops for legislative staff and policymakers to appeal to their human side about important issues such as poverty, police brutality and other serious concern brought to them from the voters.

Respnse to Kurtis Lahring
There will most likely be policy makers who do not know about many of the issues that are faced by vulnerable populations. A social workers duty is to uphold the dignity and worth of a person, and to do everything they can to protect and enhance their wellbeing (NASW, 2008). This can include advocacy on behalf of the vulnerable populations to policy makers (Jansson, 2018). One of the most important steps about communicating the needs of vulnerable populations is by collecting data and research (Jansson, 2018). This can be done by visiting local agencies and collecting statistics, or be done by searching for research articles pertaining to the issue. This is necessary to build a case, as not many people will listen and act on a cause without fully understanding the importance or scope of the issue.
Another way of attempting to convince policy makers that services are needed is by bringing the issue to a similar interest group to gain their backing (Northouse, 2018). Interest groups can play an important role in getting policy makers to act by spreading knowledge of the issue to the public, and by getting others interested in the cause. The interest group can also reach many people through the use of media such as print, advertisements, and social media (Jansson, 2018).

Case Study ch13
Case Study
Kenny and Norton, owners of TEAM FUN!, a sporting goods manufacturer and retailer, are meeting with Tony, director of human resources, and Edna, compensation and benefits manager, in the DEN, a casual area with a big-screen TV and sodas and munchies on a side table. Kenny flips on the light. “We can meet here for an hour. No one shows up for break before 9 a.m. Did you see the headlines this morning? I finally figured out what ‘postal’ means. Wonder why those guys go nuts and shoot each other?” Norton laughs. “Don’t you remember me, before we started TEAM FUN!? I was angry almost all the time. All the stupid politics. Those ridiculous schedules. Everyone stabbing each other in the back to get ahead.” Kenny frowns. “I almost forgot about you. Say, you don’t think we need to do anything here for violence, do you? We’ve got all those bows and arrows, golf clubs. Even baseball bats could be a weapon.” Tony says, “Violence is the last problem I’d expect to find here. You two have made this place very mellow for employees. You let them take play breaks during the day. Schedules and goals are posted publicly. Teams get rewarded for being teams. Customers write in and thank employees by name. Fun is a requirement of every job. You are nearly as friendly as Southwest Airlines.” Edna comments, “I think the wellness program was a natural. Hiring that nutritionist to work at the sports bar fits right in with the gear and the machines. Fit employees are less likely to overreact or burnout.” Norton nods and adds, “Nobody but Bobby ever got stressed or burned out here.” Tony says, “I think Bobby did his own burnout. But the employee assistance program deserves another evaluation.” Kenny stands up. “Okay. Work something up for tomorrow. I want to try out that new paddle boat contraption in the LAGOON. See it down there? Come on, Norton. Grab a couple of sodas and let our HR folks take care of our people.”
Questions: 1. Do you agree with Tony’s statement about workplace violence? Should TEAM FUN! take further action to prevent workplace violence? Identify the preventive measures already in place.
2. Is Tony too complacent about stress and burnout? Outline for Kenny and Norton any symptoms of stress and burnout that merit notice.
3. What benefits would wellness programs and an employee assistance plan provide TEAM FUN!?
Unit II Reflection Paper
Being new to a place is challenging. The list below includes some provocative discussions related to the events in this
unit’s reading and related to being new to the United States.
For this assignment, you will write two reflections on Parts 1 and 2 below. The total length of your journal assignment
must be a minimum of three pages in length, with each journal entry being at least one page.
(For example, this means that you could have one reflection be one page and the other be two pages, each could be one
and a half pages, or some other means by which each is at least one page in length and your total overall pages total
three.)
HY 1120, American History II 3
The reflections will need to reflect your understanding of the time period and need to avoid being anachronistic.
(Remember that this term loosely means to apply today’s values or perspectives on the past.)
To accomplish this, you will need to write both reflections as if you are a first generation immigrant (in the first person).
Your first reflection entry needs to be from the viewpoint of an immigrant from Europe (e.g., Ireland, Italy, Germany,
England, or France). Your second reflection entry needs to come from the standpoint of an immigrant from Asia (e.g.,
China or Japan).
You will need to develop an argument within both reflections entries based on the bulleted items below. In your own
words, justify academically the side of the argument you choose, remembering to cite your sources along the way.
Part 1
Are you treated as an equal by earlier generations residing here?
o What are others’ attitudes toward you?
o Why do you think they act this way?
Would you feel pressured to pledge your loyalty to a political machine?
Would you agree to engage in a strike?
Talk about some leisure opportunities and how they are divided by race or class or are for everyone.
Part 2
What is the “American dream?”
How did the growth of big business impact the American dream?
Explain which leisure opportunities could be part of the American dream.
What part did the anti-immigration sentiment play in the American dream?
As this is a point of view essay, a modern perspective will not accurately address what the question is asking for. It is
strongly suggested that you use at least one selection from the America: History and Life with Full Text database within
the CSU Online Library. All sources used, including textbooks, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material
must have accompanying APA citations.
Biopsychosocial-Cultural Model
|
Biopsychosocial-Cultural Model Traditionally, mental illness was considered a biological problem, either inherited or developed due to genetic vulnerability within the individual. This point of view is termed the medical model. Treatment was provided to the individual in one-to-one meetings with a psychiatrist or sessions with a psychotherapist. The field of mental health has evolved from the traditional model to one incorporating many more people, factors, causes, and types of treatment. The biopsychosocial-cultural model incorporates biological, psychological, developmental, familial, social, and cultural factors to understand how mental illness develops and how to design effective treatments. Revisit the case of the two Wes Moores discussed in M1: Assignment 2. Then, pretend that you are the prison psychologist who completed the evaluation of the Wes Moore convicted of murder. Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, complete the following:
Write a 3–5-page report in Word format (not including the title page and reference page). Include a title and reference page in APA format, and apply APA standards to citation of sources, including in-text citations and full references. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc. |
