The aims of the study are to understand how effective home advantage is in the English Premier League

Introduction
The aims of the study are to understand how effective home advantage is in the English Premier League (EPL) and how that changed during the impacted periods where football fans were not allowed into football grounds. Home advantage at the elite level of football has been a well-researched and most often researchers come to the conclusion that home advantage has a significant impact on the results in elite level football (Nevill, Newell and Gale, 1996). Home advantage can be divided into several different factors though, it is important to remember not all teams will have the same home advantage. These factors can be split into things such as team ability, team transfer value, fans and the volume of fans, distance for away team to travel and to an extent how the referee performs in the environment of the home team (Legaz-Arrese, Moliner-Urdiales and Munguía-Izquierdo, 2013). Referees have began to be studied in order to understand if they are being influenced by the home crowd and letting officiating bias effect their performance and the outcome of the competitive result, one study found that referees were having an impact on home advantage due to the amount of penalties being awarded and bookings being handed out that significantly highlighted that they may be being influenced through crowd noise (Boyko, Boyko and Boyko, 2007). The study will also look at how the officiating bias factor changed due to the result of no fans and therefore less crowd noise.
What is home advantage
Home advantage is one the most largely discussed phenomena in sports literature, as the ideology is rather persistent in most sports. Football is often associated with having the largest home advantage of all sports due to the rallying nature of football fans. The largest home advantage found in English football is at the top of the pyramid in the English Premier league. This can be associated due to the crowd volume and density. When managers ask their fans to make their stadium a fortress it is because there is a concrete link between home advantage and home crowd noise. The higher level of noise equals the better results (Shaw, 2015). Home advantage is when a team has a significant change in results when they play at home compared to when they play away from home, home advantage suggests we should see a meaningful set of data that supports this which is what this study is going aim to find out.
A German study into ‘ghost games’.
There has been some research in this field completed in the nation of Germany where researchers studied the top three professional leagues in Germany to see how their results were affected when covid-19 had made its impact and fans were banished from football stadiums. The findings found that there was a significant change in home advantage in the top division, the Bundesliga. However, in the second and third divisions there was a little to none drop off in home advantage and the data remained in the same trajectory as before. The researchers have linked this to the fact that the teams in the lower divisions would be used to playing in front of a lower number of occupants and therefore the drop off of fans would not have had as a dramatic effect as it had on the top division (Fischer and Haucap, 2020). The study also found that there was a change in referees’ behaviour towards home bias which once again can be correlated to the absence of crowd noise. Pre covid-19 the referees gave away fewer fouls and yellow cards to the home team relative to the away team, during the ‘ghost matches’ the study found that referees were treating the home team less favourably as they did before. The results of this study have suggested that referees perform as they do in these environments due to social pressure (Endrich and Gesche, 2020).

Leading a Global Organization

Read the article linked below. Imagine you are the CEO of your new company and aim to create an organizational culture of openness, trust, and transparency. Create a mission statement and a list of 5-6 core organizational values that will shape this culture. Explain the elements and competencies that comprise each of these values. As a means of introducing the mission and the values, offer a personal story of transparency (or lack of transparency) that has served as a driving force in shaping the values.

Your essay should be organized into four main sections.
Presentation of the Case
This first section should lay out the relevant facts of your case in purely descriptive (i.e. value-neutral) terms. What individuals or companies are involved? What action or policy or practice is in question? When and where did these actions occur? Assume your audience has no prior knowledge of the case or its context. If there is any background information necessary to understand or appreciate your case, or any technical terms that you intend to use in discussing it (e.g. dumping, strategic default, etc.), be sure to explain these as well. Also, be very careful to present the case in your own words. Although you may draw on the textbook for the facts, you will need to repackage the facts in your own, clearly distinct way.
Identification of the Ethical Issues
Next, identify and explain at least two distinct ethical questions that your case raises. Keep in mind that ethical questions can be asked about states of affairs, actions or behaviors, or distributions of goods, and that different ethical concepts are used to evaluate each of these things. For each ethical question you identify, make it clear what kind of thing (state of affairs, action, or distribution of goods) the question concerns and what specific ethical concept applies to it. If it is an action, also make sure to identify the agent, or if it’s a distribution, identify the recipients. Choose one of the two issues to be your focal question and tell your reader which one that is.

Explanation of Two Different Theoretical Approaches to Your Focal Question
Identify two different theories (e.g. Utilitarianism, Kantianism, Libertarianism, Rawlsianism, etc.) that could be used to answer your focal question and explain how each of these theories would reason about the question. For each theory, explain the basic principles it would start from, the method or process by which it would apply these principles to your case, and the conclusion you think it would reach.

Critical Assessment of the Two Approaches
Say which of the two approaches discussed in the previous section you think is more justified and why. In defending one approach over the other, you may draw on any of the general objections we discussed in class against each type of theory, or you may raise objections to one of the theories based on how it handles your particular case. One reason you should not give for preferring one theory over the other, however, is that it yields the answer in this case that you happen to like.

Organizations as Domination

Using Organizations as Domination as your theoretical foundation, write a five-page paper discussing the power of the executive branch of the U.S. Federal Government and the power of the U.S. mass media to articulate what matters to people in the U.S. How are issues framed for us and what impact does that have on us? Why is this important? How is information used to dominate or liberate people in our society? Refer back to the 1619 Project & the 1776 Commission Report as part of your analysis. Remember, the 1776 Commission Report was ordered by President Trump and The New York Times Newspaper is the publisher of the 1619 Project.

Final Project: What Matters? Down the Corner, Around the Block

ASSIGNMENT: Create
a guide to local arts venues, and/or
special events in the humanities.
“Local” you can drive to in one day and return. The guide MAY NOT include theme parks, tourist attractions on I-Drive,
tourist-like attractions, or popular music. The Wiz Khalifa-Snoop Dogg concert
won’t qualify for this assignment; neither will a Taylor Swift concert. Medieval Times and Epcot Wine and Food Festival are other examples of events, which
are unacceptable for this
assignment. If you have questions about this, just check with me. The point of the exercise is to raise
your awareness of opportunities in your “neighborhood,” beyond the usual suspects.
Your guide should have five (5) events or venues, including
one for the visual arts, and one for the performing arts (music, dance,
theater). Your guide may also include lectures related to the humanities,
historical presentations and sites, gardens, and special events, as for example
The Zora Neale Hurston Festival. The
Cultural Events Module in our course may be helpful with this.
You may take a thematic approach to the assignment. Maybe
you organize your guide around a specific location, or family-friendly venues, or
provide a “budget” friendly guide, or simply a guide for places you’d like to
visit. You may include pictures, drawings, and web links in your guide. Does it
cost money? Is parking a concern? Is the venue appropriate for all ages? Is
there a dress code? Have you been there yourself?
Requirements:
1. Produce a guide to not less than five local venues or
events for the humanities, including at least one visual and one performing
arts venue or event
2. Write an
introduction to your guide. Tell us how
you found these particular events and why you chose them. If you have
first-hand experience of the place, let your reader know that.
3. Describe each venue
or event in your own words. What interests you personally about the item? If you’ve never been to the place, try to find
reviews or talk to people who have, and include this in your description. Do not solely rely on the event or venue web
for information.
4. Give your guide a title.
5. Submit your guide by the due date as a single doc, docx,
pdf, or RTF. Your guide can take the form of a slide show, a hand-drawn
document, a word document, or any other format. Just make sure you save it as a
single document.
6. Participate in the peer review as assigned.
