Signature Assignment: Employment Classification and Discrimination

/in /by

About Your Signature Assignment

Signature/Benchmark Assignments are designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. Signature/Benchmark Assignments are graded with a grading guide or an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for course/program improvements.

Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the elements of the different types of employment relationships and to analyze the ethics behind potentially discriminatory employment policies.

Assignment Steps

Scenario: An employee is hired by Dream Massage to be a massage therapist. She is hired as an independent contractor and, therefore, receives no tax withholding or employment benefits. Dream Massage requires the employee to work a set schedule, provides her clients and all her massage products, and exercises complete control over how she does her work. In addition, when the employee shows up to work the first day, she is informed by her employer she cannot wear her hijab as it violates the company’s dress policy.

Create a 700- to 1,050-word report in which you examine the employment issues presented in the scenario, including the following:

  • Analyze whether the employee qualifies as an employee or independent contractor.
  • Discuss whether Dream Massage has potentially violated any employment discrimination laws.
  • Analyze the ethical considerations behind maintaining a rigid company dress policy.

Cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed references.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Module 03 Written Assignment – Creating Your Own Business

/in /by

Take a closer look at how inventions and innovations are affected during the “lifetime” of a business. Create a fictitious company from startup/creation to liquidation. Go through the process of determining who is granted ownership rights of the inventions and innovations as well as profit margin from such elements during the startup phase. From there, skip the life of the company (don’t focus on the company’s success or failures since startup) and assume the company has decided to liquidate and sell off. Explain the steps that will take place regarding the inventions and innovations during the liquidation of a company as well as any other pertinent information.

Please include at least 3 Pages and APA format.

Website Analysis

/in /by

The assignment: Evaluate the quality of the two nutrition-related web sites that I have listed below. (Paper should be 2 pages or more)

www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/NaturalHealth/Alkaline (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

http://medlineplus.gov/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Are these sites reliable sources for sound nutrition. Explain, for each site, your reasons why you think each site is or is not reliable. Be sure to thoroughly explore various areas of these two websites, looking for evidence that the information is accurate, reputable, consistent with mainstream science, and unbiased. Also, be sure to support your statements by providing specific examples from the websites you are evaluating. Demonstrate that you have examined and thought about the information presented at the sites. The information below can serve as a guide in evaluating websites.

Things to look for:

1) Is the information logical and generally accepted by reliable professionals (good), or does it make surprising claims that are counter to generally accepted practice (probably unrelaible)? For example, be skeptical about information titled something like, “The medical cure doctors don’t want you to know about.”
2) Does the site originate from a reliable source (a college or university, a hospital, a government organization, e.g.)? [Good sign]
3) Does the site cite valid, reproducible, and broadly accepted scientific research [good] or does it use poorly designed research, opinions, or anecdotes [not good]?
4) Does the site make promises about significant changes in your health if you use/don’t use a particular product.[Not good]?
5) Is the site just giving you information [may be good] or is it also trying to sell you a product, plan, or book? [May not be good]
6) Is this someone’s personal project? [Variable, their qualifications and expertise are important.]
7) Does the URL end in .edu or .gov [good], .org [usually good] or in .com [variable] Keep in mind that a “.com” can be good and a “.org” can be unreliable. It’s only one feature on the list of things to look at.

Conducting Your Own Field Sobriety Test

This assignment will give you the opportunity to conduct your own Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs). As outlined in your text, there are three standardized tests used by an officer to determine if a suspect is impaired. Select one of the following learning activities on which to base this assignment:

  • Using the three standardized tests, conduct mock FSTs. Evaluate your ability to perform the tests and any issues you feel these tests might provide in determining if someone is under the influence. Knowing what you know about ethanol and blood alcohol concentration, how would you explain in court what it means to be driving under the influence?
    • Document your findings in a two-page paper; include a brief detailing of each of the field sobriety tests, describe your ability to perform the tests, evaluate field sobriety tests as a persuasive means of proving impairment by alcohol, and explain the weaknesses of using field sobriety tests in court to prove alcohol impairment.
  • Watch the video, Top 3 Sobriety Tests – number 2, of an officer initiating a traffic stop of a suspected drunk driver and the officer’s attempted evaluation of the driver. Document the manner in which she performed these tests. Knowing what you know about ethanol and blood alcohol concentration, how would you explain in court what it means to be driving under the influence?
    • Document your findings in a two-page paper; include a brief detailing of the field sobriety tests, describe the ability of the driver to perform the tests assigned, evaluate field sobriety tests as a persuasive means of proving impairment by alcohol, and explain the weaknesses of using field sobriety tests in court to prove alcohol impairment.

The assignment must be formatted according to the APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Cite your resources in text and on the Reference page, as appropriate. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar in your online course.

3 page reflection

/in /by

The meaning, origin, and analysis of dreams have fascinated psychologists since the inception of the field of psychology. Sigmund Freud, often referred to as the father of psychology, focused a great deal of his theoretical energy on trying to understand and interpret dreams.

Contemporary psychologists are beginning to recognize the interconnectivity of human physiology and psychology in a way not previously understood. This is in part because of new interest in holistic health and in part because of brain/body connections we are now able to see and understand for the first time due to enhanced technology. Yoga, mindfulness, healthy eating, meditation, holistic health – all of these practices are gaining more traction in mainstream society and among psychological circles as we recognize how the mind and body work together. In light of this growing area of interest in psychology, for this assignment you will maintain a sleep/dream journal during weeks 3 and 4, and complete an analysis and reflection on your experience in a summary reflection paper in week 5.

Specifically, for this assignment you will:

  • Keep a sleep/dream journal for at least 10 days throughout Weeks 3 and 4. In your journal make note of:
    • any dreams you had
    • any initial thoughts about the dream – events of the day that may relate, etc.
    • your general sleep schedule (if you have a tracker such as fitbit, include data on your sleep patterns as well – wakefulness, restlessness, times asleep/awake per night, total sleep, etc.)
    • your general eating habits by day
    • your general exercise habits by day
    • anything else of note in your psychological or physical health (stress, excitement, changes, etc.)
  • You may use any format you wish to record the data (notepad, computer, hardcopy spreadsheet, etc.).
  • Complete a 3-4 page reflection (not counting title or reference pages) in which you analyze the results of your sleep/dream journal. Consider how your psychological and physical health interacted. What patterns did you see? Discuss the impact that various factors such as fatigue, diet, stress and exercise had on your dreams and sleep patterns. Explain how this insight may impact your behaviors in the future to lead to better psychological and physical health.
