When thinking of an event and then rationally implementing the idea, decision making needs to occur for the event concept to work. The event proposal is used to keep the planning on track and to brief everyone involved (stakeholders, vendors, sponsors, and so on). For this assignment, create a strategic plan identifying how you will plan and execute a successful event by addressing the following:

• Explain the physical layout and venue descriptions or requirements (staging, décor, lighting, sound, catering, activities, parking, and so on).
  • Here you will find some ideas and descriptions for the perfect physical layout.
• Identify the agencies that may be involved (contractors, technicians, entertainers, suppliers, security, and so on).
• List and identify staffing requirements.
• Explain any local or state regulations that need addressing.

You are to create a marketing advertisement for this event between 800–1,000 words. This could be in the form of a flyer, news ad, or any other form of marketing.

Part-1

“Managers and leaders are central to employees’ experience of work and their experience within the organization. Leaders are always part of a broader organizational culture and the overall culture will outlast any individual leader’s efforts. Over time, leaders will shape the culture, but this takes years and affecting this type of change is more similar to steering a tanker – slow and deliberate (Mehrabi, J.2015).

Part-2

Promoting Learning and Career Development

Using participative management strategies, effective leaders encourage their employees to identify performance gaps and set their own career path using company resources, including formal education, workshops and self-paced courses. Employees use assessment tools to identify their strengths and weaknesses in achieving company goals. Then, they create a development plan and review it with their managers. This enables the employee to create a customized action for improving her skills over the coming year. By empowering the employee to assess her own competency and establish a plan, the leader guides the employee and provides a supportive atmosphere in which to develop the skills necessary to achieve the company’s strategic goals (Somech, A.2009) .

Part-3

Causes of Intergroup Conflict

One of the most prominent reasons for intergroup conflict is simply the nature of the group. Other reasons may be work interdependence, goal variances, differences in perceptions, and the increased demand for specialists. Also, individual members of a group often play a role in the initiation of group conflict. Any given group embodies various qualities, values, or unique traits that are created, followed, and even defended. These clans can then distinguish “us” from “them.” Members who violate important aspects of the group, and especially outsiders, who offend these ideals in some way, normally receive some type of corrective or defensive response. Relationships between groups often reflect the opinions they hold of each other’s characteristics. When groups share some interests and their directions seem parallel, each group may view the other positively; however, if the activities and goals of groups differ, they may view each other in a negative manner. When trying to prevent or correct intergroup conflict, it is important to consider the history of relations between the groups in conflict. History will repeat itself if left to its own devices (Thompson.2008).

This week, answer all three of the questions below. You should reference your book as well as online materials for the answers to these questions (remember to cite outside resources). Your answers should be in essay format, be a minimum of three-five sentences each, and include at least three glossary terms per question.

1. Visit the Google Art Project: http://www.museothyssen.org/en/thyssen/zoom_obra/1062. Look at Hotel Room, a painting by Edward Hopper in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza. 
   • Describe in formal terms how the strong verticals and horizontals securely hold the parts of the painting together. What does the diagonal of the bed provide? Now move close and examine the paint work. How do the near-architectural elements fit with the lush paint?
2. Re-Read the article in this week chapter Art and Society, “Degenerate Art,” AND go online and watch the video “Art in Nazi Germany,” at SmartHistory (LINK: http://smarthistory.khanacademy.org/national-socialist-nazi-art.html?searched=degenerate&highlight=ajaxSearch_highlight+ajaxSearch_highlight1) After reading the article in the book and watching the online video, and based on your understanding of the threat that ideas generated by the arts can have to repressive governments, what are your thoughts on something like this happening in the United States? Do you think in our current information-saturated culture that the arts still have the ability to sway popular opinion?
3. Identify and Detail:

The purpose of this assignment is to talk to one of the women in your family (mother, aunt or grandmother) – preferably the eldest female available to you…and have her tell you a story about how she was affected by a “woman’s issue” while she was growing up. Perhaps she wanted to play baseball – but it was a boy’s only league; perhaps she started her period and had to seek her father’s assistance; perhaps she met Gloria Steinem during a college rally; perhaps her brother could date at 15 but she had to wait until she was 16 because SHE was a GIRL. Perhaps your grandmother eloped!

Please provide a 150 word response to the following;

So since learning about our physical brain it has influenced my thoughts about human nature dramatically. There was a lot of information I didn’t know, our brain is so complex and many expereinces from the brain tell us about how we see, operate and even sleep. Getting to know more about the physical brain has led me to think, that we should explore our mind and the capabilites it has. Study the brain to find out more information. That is how I was once reading this chapter. It seemed more like an interesting novel you can’t put down because of what may happen next.

So since most information in the brain is processed outside of our awareness, we can include ourselves into sleep experiements for examples. They have case studies you can volunteer for as well. There is this place I heard of that , you can spend the night in a room by yourself, these people who run the facility hook you up to an EEG and they monitor your sleep and the next day they go over your results with you . That could be a way of educating yourself on your brain.
