Great Zimbabwe is an enormous complex of structures in East
Africa. Since the builders and occupants left no written records, several
theories have developed as to the identity of its builders and the functions of
the structures. Which theory makes the most sense?

Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph paper in which you:

1.  Clearly
state the “mystery” and provide a brief summary of at least two (2) reasonable
and scholarly theories which could explain the mystery. Because some theories
may sound far-fetched, include the source or promoter of each theory – such as
a scientist, a historian, a theologian, etc.

2.  After
summarizing at least two (2) scholarly theories, identify one (1) of the
theories as the most plausible and provide at least two (2) convincing reasons
why the theory you have chosen is the best one to explain the mystery. This
will involve some critical reasoning skills on your part.

3.  Use at
least two (2) sources plus the class textbook. (Three [3] sources total as the
minimum) Note: Wikipedia and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic

America started with the phrase “all men are created equal,” had a Civil War about slavery, and ratified the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments between 1865 and 1870. Yet, America’s black population did not have full civil or political rights until the 1960s.

Why were the decades of the 1950s and 1960s the decades of the biggest gains for civil rights? What happened after World War II that allowed the door to be opened for the civil rights movement? In your discussion please include civil rights milestones, people, and events. How have the goals of the civil rights movement been achieved or not achieved? How does the struggle for civil rights influence American society today?

drug used to treat a neurological or psychiatric disorder

/in /by

look up information on a particular drug used to treat a neurological or psychiatric disorder. If you are unable to find material in the Library on the particular drug you select, you may use other credible online sources. Any additional sources used must be websites with scientifically grounded information. Avoid .org sites which are frequently established by persons suffering from the same disorder and/or their family members and can be important sources of support for those persons, but which may also contain unsubstantiated and personal perspective based information. Also avoid using pharmaceutical sites as your only source of information; while they may look scientific, they also are maintained by companies in the business of manufacturing and selling medications. WebMD is an example of a web source which contains scientifically grounded information about treatments for various disorders including neurological and psychiatric ones. The sources you use must be no more than 5 years old.

what was surprising to you as a psychology student and a consumer. What aspects of these drugs were comforting to you? What aspects did you find concerning? Why?

Report what you find for each of the categories below:

  • The class of the drug
  • The mechanism of action
  • Receptor sites the drug targets
  • The drug’s main affect
  • Unexpected effects and side effects and drug interactions

please go into the lesson plan and you can read the lesson plan,also you are welcome to start the complete to I will place the question so you can bid.That way you can be ahead.

Discuss the theme(s) you found in one of the stories read in week 1 or in week 2 (if you’ve already read some of those). Some questions to consider include: How did you see that theme developed in the story? How does the author’s use of symbolism or other literary elements relate to that theme? How does the story’s title relate to the theme? Do any of the characters change and how might that change relate to the story’s theme? How does that theme relate to our lives/world today? (These are some suggestions of questions to consider in your discussion but you are not limited to these questions. Also, this is not a checklist; you don’t necessarily have to address every question in your discussion.)

There is helpful information about theme on pp. 381-386 in this week’s Read section. Your initial response should demonstrate thought beyond the surface, should include two references, and should be at least 250 words. See the discussion rubric in the syllabus for more guidelines.

role HR plays within today’s organizations, Human Resource Management homework help

/in /by

Please seperate each question

Two paragraph per question

 

Question #1

 

In Chapter 1 we talk about the role HR plays within today’s organizations. It’s logical is it not? Today, the most valuable asset a company can have is its employees! Years ago while pursuing our MBAs, we took courses in Inventory Management, Production, and Plant Operations. TBut then twenty years ago our economy was based upon manufacturing and a company’s production capacity and inventory were of prime importance. Today, we’re in the information age and employees, especially creative employees with innovative ideas and technological skills, are paramount.

Twenty years ago, an HRM was little more than an administrator, someone to process the application form and ensure the new employee’s beneficiary form was completed correctly. Today, HRM’s are strategic partners in every thriving business enterprise developing policies and programs to support the mission of the business enterprise. Be sure to read and understand the information presented in Table 2.1 on pages 38 and 39 of your text.

Take a moment and define for us in your own words what you understand “strategic” to mean? And then discuss in detail and in your own words why we look at Strategic HRM as one of the first topic in this course.

Be sure to include citations from at least two sources you used to develop your responses!

QUESTION 2: Thoughts about HR Functions in today’s world

What I would like you to do is read chapters one and two and then the Art Brooks and the Mayhew articles. As you read, make note of all of the HR functions identified in the readings and reflect carefully on the responsibilities of today’s HRMs.

In your thoughtful idea presentation you want to talk about organizational functions and about the responsibilities an HRM has today to help an organization achieve maximum efficiency and meet their stated goals. Include some thoughts to demonstrate your understanding about how and HRM’s roles and responsibilities have developed and grown. Once you’ve posted your thoughts, take the time to respond to a colleague’s ideas.

 

Discussion #3

Perform an Internet search to find a specific diversity policy for an organization. What is the organization? What is their policy? From what you know of the organization, do you believe they follow this policy in reality? Are there any articles in the news that contradict their policy?

Which Web site or Internet link did you use? Post it as a formal APA citation.

Students, try to use a variety of different organizations. Yes, you may use your own company or organization.
Interact with another student.

Discussion #4

What are some things we can do, personally, to be more multiculturally efficient? Use at least one reference to support your comments.

Question 5: Internal vs External Recruiting

To respond to this question, you first want to define and discuss INTERNAL vs. EXTERNAL recruitment practices. You want to demonstrate your understanding of the pros and cons of each approach. Include in you discussion an example of a situation in which each of these approaches might be particularly effective. Be sure to conduct independent research and include an expert’s ideas (with proper citations) to support your argument.

Question 6: What haven’t we focused on?

There is a wealth of information available in our texts, isn’t there? I cannot possibly ask you questions about every topic and concept – but I want to make sure you know the material. For example, we didn’t talk about INTERVIEWS and the various interviewing techniques an HRM can use. Then, there are the important topics of NEGOTIATING with and PLACING employees, once they have been hired!
