5 page MLA formatted paper: are women in the criminal justice system treated differently than men? please discuss all issues women in the criminal justice field face. maybe touch upon; training, finding a job, maintaining that job, are they seen as equals to to men? do people take women officers as seriously as men? YOU MUST USE THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT FOR SOME INFORMATION (and any others you find)

• Construct an introduction. this could be two paragraphs long. Start with a grabber sentence and end with your thesis, just as you did with the analytic paper, but avoid mentioning any authors at this point. Does your introduction present the topic in a clear manner and does it move from a good first sentence to the final sentence, the thesis? How can you more effectively write the introduction so that it introduces the topic but does not present the whole story?

• At some point you need to put your research project in its historic moment and/or explain the background of the topic. Depending upon your topic, you may want a paragraph or two about the history of your topic/issue soon after the introduction. Sometimes, the history of the topic/issue can appear throughout the paper. An explanation of the background of your topic is necessary for the reader to understand the subsequent argument, but this part of the paper should not be the main focus—perhaps a page and half to two pages.

• Now start to develop your underlying argument, the proof of your initial thesis statement. What are your claims to advance the thesis? What are the reasons that you think what you think about the topic? (Use quotations, cited properly using MLA format.) Repeat until you have introduced all parts of the argument you have found to this point. Introduce all the cases/evidence/examples/data you have at this point and explain how they support or refute your thesis. At this point you might also have a paragraph that addresses another side to the issue.

• Now look at the topic sentence for each body paragraph. Do you have a topic sentence? Does the topic sentence state the claim made in the paragraph and connect back to the thesis?

The Essay Prompt

PROMPT: The context that
had created and supported the Jeffersonian world view (that of the
yeoman farmer as the bedrock of American democracy and the American
economy) disappeared by the mid-nineteenth century, prompted by a shift
toward an economy based on commerce, manufacturing, and larger scale
agricultural endeavors. What is your best explanation for why this
change took place? What impact did this change have upon the ethics and
civics of what it meant to be an American? Be sure to consider change
over time and geographical differences in your analysis.

Hint: Think
broadly here as you scattershoot/concept map your essay before writing.
What were the economic causes of this change (think about markets,
productivity, trade policies, etc.)? What role did technological change
play? Consider social causes (conflicts between groups, classes, races,
genders), political causes (new voters, political parties, institutional
leadership, etc.), government (state, federal, various branches), and
expansion of the nation. Think also about intellectual changes (new
ways of thinking, religion, and conceptions what it means to be an
American and questions of ethics and civics) and changes in environment.
You need not answer all of these questions in your essay, they are
here to guide your thinking on the prompt.

Hint
2: Make sure that you integrate your discussion of Change over Time and
Ethics/Civics throughout your analysis, not just in one paragraph. This
means that Change over Time and Ethics/Civics WILL NOT be key points in
your rule of three thesis statement.

• Must be in Rule of Three format with a introduction and strong
  thesis statement, 3 paragraphs of the body (each with their own thesis
  statement – one for each of the three key points of your overall
  thesis), and conclusion. So a minimum of 5 paragraphs.
• This is a fact based essay, you must provide specific and detailed evidence for your hypotheses.
• You must utilize a minimum of three primary sources from the assigned materials as evidence in your essay
• You must utilize a minimum of three secondary sources from the assigned materials as evidence in your essay
• You may only use materials assigned in this course for your essay
  (we have vetted all the materials utilized in this course, other
  materials may not be appropriate or accurate)
• DO NOT quote secondary sources
• You may briefly quote a primary source (a phrase or a
  sentence) before immediately analyzing the relevance of the quote – a
  quote cannot stand alone as explanation or evidence
• You must consider change over time in this essay
• You must consider ethics/ethical decision making in this essay
• You must consider change over time in this essay
• Don’t forget about geography, where something takes place matters and it may be important to your argument.
• You must use Turabian citation style in this essay; all citations
  must be footnote style citations (no parenthetical cites allowed, no
  endnotes/works cited at the end, you need footnotes). Be sure to review
  how to properly cite a primary source that may be contained in another
  work and be sure to use page numbers where possible.

Challenging a Culture of Envy and Anger: A Biblical Response

The ancient Rabbis and the authors of the New Testament considered envy to be one of the prime sins (compare James 3:16). Based on the readings of this for the last two units, construct a post of 200 – 250 words in which you explore in the impact of the deadly vices of envy and anger. Be sure to provide clear contemporary examples of how these deadly sins have affected culture and behavior. Offer Biblical ways that these vices can be addressed. Construct one further response post to another student in which you question, critique, elaborate or confirm their observations. The response post should be of equal length to your original post with the same level of support. Remember that in addition to your response to a fellow student, you must respond to all questions posed to you by your professor; your professor is very interested in your learning and responding to his or her questions is critical to this process.

Case 2: Global Shared Services, McDonald’s Corporation As the world’s leading foodservice retailer serving nearly 70 million customers daily in more than 100 countries, McDonald’s recognizes the importance of having good people in place in order to deliver an exceptional customer experience. McDonald’s has a rich history of developing leaders. Founder Ray Kroc, once said, “As long as you’re green, you’re growing.” McDonald’s supports this philosophy and commitment to their people by providing opportunity, nurturing talent, developing leaders, and rewarding achievement. This is evident in McDonald’s tradition of promoting from within: nearly half of corporate managers and 60% of owner-operators started as crew members. For many people, McDonald’s represents a first job—a place to develop basic skills that can help them achieve success in future life pursuits. For others, McDonald’s represents a pathway to a long-term career that provides rewarding opportunities to grow, contribute, and advance over many years. McDonald’s values state their belief that a team of well- trained individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences, working together in an environment that fosters respect and drives high engagement, is essential to their continued success. Shared Services Business Challenge. McDonald’s Shared Services team began their partnership with us in 2008. At that time, Shared Services was part of McDonald’s IT group, which was decentralized in structure, but needed to function as a cohesive team to drive common global solutions. The CIO recognized the importance of developing teamwork and alignment across IT leaders and engaged us to lead this effort. After the IT Leadership Team had gone through The Leadership Circle process, the CIO asked each of the officers, including Kelvin McLaurin, then VP of Shared Services, to engage their teams in the program. Soon after The Leadership Circle was introduced, the Shared Services organization evolved into Global Shared Services (GSS) and became the first global function at McDonald’s. McLaurin recalls: “We needed to build a diverse, global team with leaders who could expand beyond their current capabilities.” He wanted to establish leadership effectiveness as a priority early with the team he was building and leverage the Leadership System to make this a reality. In 2012, McLaurin transitioned to a role leading McDonald’s Finance Transformation. Debbie Ballard, who had been a member of the GSS Leadership Team since 2005, took over leadership of the GSS organization. Having experienced the value of The Leadership Circle, she was already a supporter of the Profile and its benefits. Ballard explains: “The Leadership Circle process helps me professionally and personally. It enables me to step back and see why I am behaving the way I am behaving, and it helps me grow as a leader and to model the things that I am asking my leadership team to do.” GSS continued their focus on leader- ship development and further engrained The Leadership Circle program into its culture. Strategic Solution: The Leadership Circle. When The Leadership Circle was introduced in 2008, the GSS leadership team was skeptical. Introducing an exercise that required not only getting feedback about individual strengths and opportunities, but then sharing publicly with their fellow team members would not be easy. However, the team committed to the process, knowing the first session would be hard, but trusting that outcomes would make it worthwhile. Despite the initial hesitation, the GSS has become the group that applies The Leadership Circle most holistically and consistently. While other groups at McDonald’s leverage the Profile, GSS is unique in that they continue to use public feedback with each team member talking about their strengths and weaknesses in front of the group. McLaurin explains: “The Leadership Circle has become the common language across the GSS Leadership Team to onboard and develop our leaders.” As new members join the leadership team, either from GSS or a support partner, they are expected to participate in The Leadership Circle. GSS also engages their high-potential managers in the process. In 2014, GSS added The Leadership Circle Pulse Survey to hone in on opportunity areas and ensure more frequent feedback to drive development in those areas. McLaurin, who now leads Finance Transformation, brought The Leadership Circle practice to his new leadership team as well in September 2014. In addition, the Finance Transformation team also incorporated individual LCP assessment with team development opportunities. Outcomes. The Leadership Circle helped GSS to become a true, shared leadership team and build a culture of openness, support, trust, and high performance. Ballard explains: “It is part of our DNA, part of who we are. We have now done multiple offsite meetings with our leadership team focusing on individual and collective effectiveness. As a result, we have forged a cohesive, high-performing leadership culture and system.” Team members are empowered to mentor each other, talk openly about their opportunities, and gain support using a common language. Each leader’s candor, paired with their support for one another, enables GSS to drive business results at an accelerated pace. Instead of ignoring issues that could hinder progress, the team talks through them. Since the team respects The Leadership Circle process and one another, gaining awareness of strengths creates a culture of trust and support. Ballard notes: “Leaders were afraid at first of publicly showing people their development opportunities, but then they see that this supportive environment is designed to help you become a better leader, not discourage or embarrass you.” The culture that The Leadership Circle has helped to create in GSS contributes to their success: “We achieved our five-year strategic plan in only three years, and then set in place the GSS 2020 Strategy to continue our momentum toward our vision to be a world-class shared services organization.” Both McLaurin and Ballard continue to be strong advocates for The Leadership Circle process, driving application in their organizations and sharing their experiences with others in the McDonald’s System.
