You will be learning about human resources issues concerning the employment process. You read about the employment process in your chapter reading and practiced with recruiting, screening, and hiring concepts in the Learning Activity. Now you will be writing about how you plan to find your employees for your real or imagined business.

• First, read about diversity (Heathcote & Gruman, 2011) in the pdf located by accessing the Online Library in the Academic Tools area of this course.

The premise, of course, is that you will have employees. If you start out small, and the first employee is only you, imagine the business a number of years out. If you needed five employees, which positions would they most likely fill? What positions will need filling? Please imagine three positions and then respond in a 1–2 page explanation to the following:

1. Determine the benefits and challenges of attracting a diverse pool of potential candidates.
2. How would you go about hiring a diverse workforce and why would this be important based on your reading?
3. Indicate the job title and write a brief job description including pertinent job specifications for each of the three positions.
4. What will the pay range be for each of the three positions?
5. Explain where you will advertise for these three positions so you can collect an application pool to interview. Why?

Submit your 1–2 page minimum response in a Word document using APA citation style and format (include an additional title and reference page).

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which the student addresses the following three (3) items using headers to separate each response:

1. Congressional Ethics. Identify one (1) member of Congress who has been charged with ethics violations.

Note: Consider how the verdict and penalties impacts your trust of the members of Congress.
2. Third Party Candidates. Discuss two (2) political reasons why a third party candidate has never been successful in winning a presidential election. Provide examples to support the answer. Note: Consider the political impact of the Republican and Democratic Party if a third party was successful.
3. Federal and State Authority. Identify one (1) current issue facing the United States today. Analyze the respective roles of Federal and state authorities in addressing the issue. Determine whether the U. S. Constitution constrains the Federal and state responses to the issue. Explain.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOUR QUESTIONS in a at least 1600 words —>using contents from psychology.

Each question must have a comprehensive response about 400-500 words AT LEAST

1) Your text discusses “the person-situation” controversy and how it relates to trait theories. Identify one particular personality trait that you think you possess. Briefly describe two situations where you feel that your behavior was more strongly influenced by the situation than by your identified trait. Why do you think that happened in each situation?

2) Our behavior is very much influenced by the principles of operant and classical conditioning, although we are often not aware of it at the time. This exercise is intended to enhance that awareness. Pick a particular day on which to conduct this exercise, and at the end of the day, reflect back on your experiences while answering these questions:

a) Identify two situations where you experienced positive reinforcement.b) Identify one situation where you experienced either positive punishment or negative punishment. c) Identify one situation where your response was due to classical conditioning.

3) Defence mechanisms are unconscious reactions that protect us from feeling anxiety. Although we are not usually aware that we are engaging in defence mechanisms at the time, it often becomes obvious to us at a later date. Name one defence mechanism and give one instance where you think you were making use of it.

4) a) What is the most valuable thing that you have learned about human behavior as far? b) What have you learned that has surprised you the most about human behavior?

In roughly 2 pages, please apply your principles from the discussion in this week to Singer’s book Ethics of What We Eat. You already read this chapter in week 4 so you will just need to review it again. When you are applying your discussion principles, you do not need to cover every industry in Singer’s book; however, you may need to do more than one section to best demonstrate your principles. Since you will be receiving feedback from your classmates on your principles in the discussion, you are able to modify your list during this phase.

Please include a concise introduction and conclusion. In the body, dedicate one paragraph per principle where you briefly introduce it and then apply the principle to an example from Ethics of What We Eat. At the end or in the conclusion you can evaluate how effective you believe this normative theory to be.
