Prepare a 1500-2000 word portfolio, in which you demonstrate your learning

Assignment Question

The final assessment of this work is in the form of a portfolio. For your final assessment, please prepare a 1500-2000 word portfolio, in which you demonstrate your learning in this module.

For your portfolio, please pick 3 topics. 1. Recruitment and Selection 2. Talent Management 3. Diversity and cross cultural HRM You will thus have 500-700 words per topic. For each topic describe what has most contributed to your learning. One approach is to explain what you thought previously, and then describe what you learnt, and how this new learning changed your perspective. But don’t need to follow this structure for each point. Do include practical examples, where you can see an application of something that you learnt.

Practical examples also help you demonstrate that you indeed understood what was taught. Good portfolios typically are skilled at outlining a theory in your own words, adding knowledge through outside resources and your reflections over time, and through practical examples. You may use your notes from the video lectures, your own forum contributions, and your additional reading.

You may for instance describe about three learning points per lecture, and thus have about 150-250 words for each learning point. The marking criteria, which count equally are: Depth of Knowledge Robust Arguments Practical examples Academic Literature

Assignment Question

Operational Definitions & Conceptual Framework, Narrative and Mathis assignment has three parts: I) Operational Definitions, II) Concept Map, III) Conceptual Framework Narrative I) Provide an operational definition for each of the terms that you will be using in your study. An operational definition is an explanation of how each term is used in your research study, and may not always be the same as the legal or everyday usage of the term. Examples “Worcester State University Student,” – Any undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree at Worcester State University, who will be enrolled in at least one in-person course at the university during the course of the research. Individuals enrolled in continuing education, non-degree courses or workshops will be excluded, but non-matriculated graduate students will be included. (Notice that in this case, students taking blended or online classes would be excluded from the study, even though in everyday language they are “Worcester State students.” “African Immigrant,” – Any person born in an African country who is currently residing in the U.S., legally or illegally. In this study, the term will also include foreign students who are on student visas, foreign workers on work visas, and those of visitors’ visas who have stayed in the country for more than six months.

II Design a concept map for your study. A concept map is a graphical representation of what you think is going on in your study situation.

III. Provide a description (narrative) of the concepts, including your conceptualization of how they relate to each other. In other words, describe your concept map in narrative form.

Should Moore carry all of the responsibility for his actions, or should GTA creators share some of the responsibility? Explain which ethical system justifies your answer and why.

Assignment Question

The Grand Theft Auto Case

Read the discussion prompt and answer all 3 of the questions listed in it’s entirety. Be sure to include APA in-text and post reference citations. Be sure to use Chapter 9;Conscience for at least 1 reference: Dimmock, M., & Fisher, A. (2017). Ethics for A-level. Retrieved from https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/ethics-for-a-level ISBN-13: 9781783743902

Discussion Prompt

Examine the following real case and respond to the prompts in your initial post. In 2003, 18-year-old Devin Moore was arrested and brought to a police station under auto theft suspicion. While in custody, Moore acquired a police officer’s gun and killed that officer by shooting him several times, including a fatal shot to the head. Moore then shot and killed a second police officer with yet another fatal shot to the head. Finally, Moore walked down the hall and shot and killed an emergency dispatcher. After committing the three murders, Moore stole a police cruiser and drove off. In less than one minute, Moore had murdered three people. His lawyer’s defense was that the video game Grand Theft Auto (GTA) made him do it. It turns out that Moore had been playing GTA day and night for months, and his lawyers argued that Moore was not guilty because of a mental defect arising, in part, from playing GTA for hours upon hours. According to Moore’s lawyer, Jack Thompson: “What we’re saying is that Devin Moore was, in effect, trained to do what he did. He was given a murder simulator. He bought it as a minor. He played it for hundreds of hours, which is primarily a cop-killing game. It’s our theory, which we think we can prove to a jury in Alabama, that, but for the video-game training, he would not have done what he did.” Upon Moore’s arrest, he stated, “life is a video game; everybody has to die sometime.” An Alabama jury concluded that Moore was to blame for the murders, not the creators of GTA. Neuroscience tells us that a person’s prefrontal cortex, which is the brain region responsible for important functions such as conscience, emotions, and reasoning to conclude, is not completely developed until a person is in their early to mid-’20s. Moore was 18 when he committed these crimes.

Discussion Questions:

Should Moore carry all of the responsibility for his actions, or should GTA creators share some of the responsibility? Explain which ethical system justifies your answer and why. What role do habituated thoughts and activities play in our personal formation and willingness to undertake specific actions?
