In Chapters 1-4 Krakauer lays the framework for his narrative. All writers must establish their credibility early on–this is know as ethos. We as readers are necessarily concerned with the truthfulness of Krakauer’s narrative, so Krakauer puts us at ease right away by using McCandless’ own words to begin. The book begins with a postcard McCandless sent to his friend Wayne Westerberg that includes an ominous phrase: “[t]his is the last you will hear from me” (3).

In your 350 word entry, discuss the strategies Krakauer uses in chapters 1-4 to establish the veracity (truthfulness) of his narrative. You will need to reference or quote the text (and do note that your quotations do not count towards your word count.) In an effort to establish our interest in McCandless, Krakauer is dealing with competing rhetorical issues: how to get the reader engaged, but also how to keep the narrative factual. How is this handled? I really want you to look at the construction of this text, and not only the plot of the text. For example, how and why are McCandless’ own writings used? How are eyewitness accounts incorporated? Why? What impact does this have on the reader?

Research Paper: New Supervisory Skills

Research Paper: New Supervisory Skills

Your research paper is based on the following scenario:

You have just taken over as a Shift Supervisor at Bad Teddy Bear Manufacturing and have a team of 30 under you. Your educational and training level is exactly what you have today.

Your teams rotate shifts every 3 weeks and there are two shifts, morning, 0700-3:30 PM and evening, 3PM to 11:30PM. You have the flexibility to move people around shifts, and you stay on the same shift, with overlap (i.e. your hours are 9-6). Two co-leads take over when you are not there and stay on shifts with their workers.

The previous supervisor was let go for cause, failure to meet quotas and leadership inability. The department’s morale is very low and there is a great deal of pressure for your shift to perform.

On top of this, there is a problem with two of your employees, one is always late and the other calls in sick frequently (you can decide what factors lead to their absenteeism). The previous supervisor never did anything about this and everyone knew it was an issue. One of your co-leads has brought it to your attention and wants to know when you are going to fix it.

You also have an employee that has been there for 14 years and has never been promoted to co-lead or supervisor. He came to you and wants to know why? He is an older worker and knows what he is doing, however, one of your co-leads told you that some of the younger workers grumble that he is too slow and can’t learn new technology. He also stated that unless he gets the opportunity to move up, he’ll quit and make sure that management knows you never gave him a chance.

Finally, there is a brand new worker, a single mother, who is super sharp and a very hard worker. She told you on your first day there how much she loves working at the company and wants to progress upward. However, childcare is an issue and sometimes she needs to leave early. On top of that, her car has left her stranded on several occasions.

You are to develop a solution to present to each of your co-leads on how to start fixing some of these issues. Make the paper informative, with some of the techniques and terms that we have addressed thus far in the course that deal with new supervisors. This about the terms leaders vs. managers, counseling, feedback, types of leaders, SMART objectives, SWOT, generational differences, Theory X and Y, MBWA, and favoritism. These terms are not all-inclusive and you are welcome to add others to support your solutions.

This can be a narrative paper, informative paper, a letter (albeit a long one) or a talking paper. You can use the first person to discuss what you think needs to be done. You can also assign tasks or take tasks away from co-leaders.

Your supervisor, co-leads, and workers can have fictional names, you can add in additional issues or factors and most of all, have fun and be creative in developing this workplace. Your co-leads can be good or bad at their job, you can decide how little or much you want to delegate to them as well as how much reporting back to you is needed.

Think about these challenges you will face as a new supervisor. You may want to break this into fixing immediate problems, a six-month goal, and one-year goal.

You should use proper APA sixth edition formatting.

You should have a title page, abstract page, 3-5 pages of body content and the last page should references. Make sure that your paper has references.

Use at least 3 references on your paper. They should be articles that support your paper or lessons we have covered. Do not use Wikipedia!

The paper should contain no more than 20% direct citations or quotations. That means 80% should be your own analysis, thoughts, and ideas.

6-1 Discussion: Social Problems

/in /by

For this discussion, identify a real-world social issue and discuss how biological or genetic factors may influence the issue. Examples of social problems include bullying, criminology, obesity, and alcoholism. Select a social issue for this post and discuss some of the biological or genetic factors that can negatively influence this issue.

Consider the following in your initial post:

  • What does the biological approach reveal about the issue?
  • Is there one biological or genetic factor that appears to have more influence than other factors that negatively impact the social issue?
  • Could there be several biological or genetic factors that negatively impact the issue?

Be sure to find and cite supporting evidence for your viewpoint.

Respond to two other students, and compare and contrast your viewpoint with the perspectives expressed in their posts.

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.

AFTER COMPLETING THE INITIAL POST, PLEASE ALSO RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING TWO STUDENTS REGARDING THE SAME TOPIC!


STUDENT ONE:

Bullying was defined as an aggressive goal-directed behavior that causes harm to another individual with the context of a power imbalance (Ellis, Gonzalez, Volk, & Embry, 2016). Bullying is a serious problem that directly affects millions of children and adolescents worldwide each year (Ellis et al., 2016). Bullying includes physical, verbal, psychological, sexual and online harassment, now referred to as cyber-bullying.

The biological approach reveals that those that engaged in bullying share the same personality traits. Bullies seek power and control. They displayed signs of submissiveness and the need to dominate. They are impulsive and get angry easily. Bullies show little empathy towards the person they are victimizing. The most common element is its role in the motivation to seek reward and respond to impulses. Neuroticism and extraversion seemed to be positively related to bullies who scored low on agreeableness, openness and conscientiousness. As a result, bullies are motivated to seek out rewards and become more assertive, dominant and outgoing (Funder, 2016). That is not to say that traits are evident to the same extent or with identical manifestations in all cultures, but rather that any trait can be observed in a subset of situations in any culture (Young, 2010). The existence of traits both narrower and broader than the Big Five may indicate additional biological causes both more and less specific than those that influence the Big five (Young, 2010). Those that exhibit certain common characteristics are usually victims of bullying. Personalities traits like introversion, low self-confidence and anxiety are common characteristics.

Biological as well as genetic factors both seem to have an influence on bullying. Studies have shown that some psychological traits have a high degree of genetic influence. According to Funder (2016) for example, a stressful environment will raise one’s cortisone levels. It is important to remember that biological processes affect behavior, but both behavior and the social environment also affect biological processes (Funder, 2016). Understanding each is helpful for understanding the others (Funder, 2016).

There are several biological factors that negatively impacts bullying. There are higher rates of depression and anxiety. Extensive research has revealed that bullying experiences are associated with emotional difficulties including feeling of loneliness, adjustment difficulties, low academic performance, low self-esteem and lack of appropriate social skills (Plexousakis, Kourkoutas, Giova-zolias, Chatira, & Nikolopoulos, 2019). Recent studies have shown that bullying is also associated with psychological dislocation, avoidance behaviors and symptoms of PTSD (Plexousakis et al., 2019). Children or adults that are bullied are at risk of suicide. Many issues contribute to suicide risk including depression, trauma history and problems at home. Bullying leads to feelings of helplessness and hopelessness both of which can contribute to suicidal thoughts.

Plexousakis et al. (2019) conducted a study in Greece that investigated the relationship between bullying and traumatic symptoms, while accounting for the role of parental bonding. The most significant finding of their study was the negative association of parental overprotection, on children’s involvement to bullying and victimization, as well as to the development of trauma which is consistent with other studies (Plexousakis et al., 2019). Both overprotection (as a form of control) and lack of care (as a form of emotional neglect and lack of support) regarding social-emotional developed created high risks conditions for psychological vulnerability (Plesousakis et al., 2019). The results were consistent with previous studies which emphasized the impact of dysfunctional relationships with both parents, which were linked with a child’s involvement with bullying behaviors (Plexousakis et al., 2019).

This is definitely a soft spot for me because I have first hand experience with this. As a child, I experienced bullying. We had a fire at our house and we had to move into a new neighborhood where the bullying began. Back in those days, no one cared. I was bullied almost every day in school especially being the new kid. Me and my siblings would get jumped and assaulted by other kids after school. At one point, they even try to burn our house down. One time I came home in tears because in the classroom someone behind me put gum in my hair. My Mom had to cut my hair off. I grew up to dislike bullies and what they stand for. I had so many behavioral problems growing up because of this. I was always fighting and in the principal’s office. I do agree that I felt feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. I felt angry all the time and felt that no one was going to protect me. What happened was that I started fighting back against the bullies. I would defend everyone even if I wasn’t the victim. Of course as I got older, I realized that I had to change my way of thinking to change my behavior.

When my children began going to school, I made sure that I kept open discussions about what was going on in school. I always taught my daughters not to engage in that type of behavior and to report anyone that they saw engaging in that behavior. I would share my stories with them. I wanted my children to learn how it felt to be a victim and then I shared with them stories of the other side on the consequences if you engaged in that kind of behavior as a police officer.

STUDENT TWO:

A social issue that stood out to me was alcoholism. This is something that runs in both sides of my family. I have heard some people say that alcoholism is genetic and have heard some people say that it is a choice. Mauro et al (2017) did an interesting study when it comes to genetics and alcoholism. In this study, they aimed to show that variations in the GATA4 gene have specific properties that bind to the ANA sequence which could increase susceptibility for alcohol use disorder. In the end, although there have been other past studies that do show a relationship between GATA4 and alcoholism, those findings were not replicated in the sample that they gathered. Although the study did not show any correlation between the gene and alcoholism, there are still past studies that show a link between the two. As far as this social issue goes, some other biological factors that can have an influence on it would be depression and anxiety.
