Race, Culture, and Culturally-Responsive Teaching

C‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ontent-Specific 3-2-1 paper on Chapter Two of the text, Race, Culture, and Culturally-Responsive Teaching. This will entail selection of what you consider the three most important concepts, two more that you found interesting, and one relevant question that remains. For each of the three important and‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ two interesting concepts, discuss it, explaining why you selected it and what it might mean to you in your own teaching. For the question on the 3-2-1, think about anything that might require a bit of elaboration.

stages of negotiation

Scenario:
The issues in the software development area of Informational Systems have grown into a genuine workplace conflict. One of the issues is interdependence—the Millennials want to schedule their work on their timetable and not rely on the work schedule of the older Baby Boomers. Also, the Baby Boomers are pushing for changes in the rewards system—they believe that bonuses should be commensurate with performance, while the Millennials think that everyone should be rewarded equally for participation in projects.
NOTE: There are no right or wrong answers for this assignment. What’s important is how thoroughly you support your responses.

After reviewing the scenario and the readings, especially the sections (including the embedded videos) on Stages of Negotiation and Types of Negotiating Strategies, prepare a 2- to 3-page paper on the following:

First define exactly what you think is really driving the conflict.

Then Using the five-step process found under Stages of Negotiation, work through each step describing what you would do to meet each step’s criteria. Use your experience and the readings when working through the questions – not all of the information you will need to answer the questions is in the scenario. Begin with Preparation and Planning.

Your paper should follow this outline and answer each of the questions:

Statement of the issue: what do you think is the actual underlying concern that is causing these two groups to not be able to work together? Support your answer using the scenario.
Then respond to these questions under each Step as noted in the Stages of Negotiation section.

Preparation and Planning
What do you as the leader of the negotiation want to walk away with?

What are the goals of each party?

What do you think they will ask for?

Do you think either party (or both) has a hidden agenda? Why/why not?

What might they settle for? Does that differ from what you have in mind?

Definition of Ground Rules
Who will do the negotiating for each party?

Where will the negotiation take place?

Will there be time constraints placed on the process? HINT: Go back to the scenario to see how quickly you think this needs to be resolved).

Will there be any limits to what each party wants? Why/why not?

What will you do if an agreement cannot be reached? If you bring in a third-party negotiator will it be 1) an Arbitrator, 2) a Conciliator, 3) a Consultant, 4) a Mediator? Explain your choice based on the scenario and the information under “Third-Party Negotiations”.

Clarification and Justification
Describe your position as negotiator.

Describe the millennial’s position.

Describe the Boomer’s position.

Bargaining and Problem Solving
What is your optimal solution as negotiator?

Would the millennials accept this? Why/why not?

Would the Boomers accept this? Why/why not?

If neither party accepts, what will you do?

If both parties accept, what will you do?

Closure and Implementation
What is the final resolution agreed to by all parties?

How will you implement it?

identify a Socioecological Complex Adaptive System

Write a one-page (500 words max) paper in which you:

How do the components of the system interact with one another and what emergent behaviors can you identify?
How will a complex adaptive systems approach benefit the system that you identified? What might a focused approach that only focuses on one aspect of the system miss?

Culminating Activity: The Logic Dialogue/Monologue

Unit 1 Culminating Activity: The Logic Dialogue/Monologue*
Working in groups of two, write a scriipt for a skit about five minutes long that humourously showcases various types of illogical thinking and also demonstrates a critical understanding of some general principles of reasoning. After creating your scriipt, practice it aloud a few times in preparation for presentation to the class. You may find it necessary to edit and revise your scriipt as you practice. Examples of skits that involve philosophical ideas and logic include Max Shulman’s “Love is a Fallacy” ; the witch skit from their film Monty Python and the Holy Grail and “The Argument Clinic” from the television series Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
Here is a checklist of what must be included in your scriipt:
EACH GROUP MEMBER WILL DEMONSTRATE: A critical understanding of at least one principle or law of reasoning:
• law of identity
• law of non-contradiction
• law of the excluded middle
• principle of sufficient reason
• Ockham’s razor.
EACH GROUP MEMBER WILL DEMONSTRATE BOTH:
• An example of a valid deductive argument in the form of a syllogism.
• An example of a strong inductive argument
EACH GROUP MEMBER WILL DEMONSTRATE:
• An illustration of 2 different informal logic fallacies
EACH GROUP MEMBER WILL DEMONSTRATE ONE OF: • An illustration of a formal logic fallacy
Note: With the exception of each member doing an inductive argument, the same law, syllogism or fallacy may not be used more than once per scriipt. In other words, if you use a categorical syllogism your partner must use a hypothetical or disjunctive syllogism.
You must work each of the elements in the checklist into a coherent scenario. In Shulman’s “Love is a Fallacy,” for example, the scenario of a man who is interested in dating a woman is used to present several faulty arguments made by both the man and his date in order to give examples of fallacious thinking. In developing your scenario, do not make references, either direct or indirect, to anyone in your school (students or teachers).
Edit your scriipt for spelling and grammar, and practice your pronunciation and delivery. Ensure your visuals and language usage are suitable for presentation in the classroom or school, conforming to community standards of decency.

Presentation:
Submit your presentation to Mr Humphrey on google classroom. It may be audio only or use video. You may use your scriipts during the performance rather than memorizing your lines, if you wish. Be sure that each person speaks clearly.
You will be evaluated on the inclusion of all the elements in the checklist, the coherence and flow of the skit, and your creativity. Use the evaluation criteria below to ensure you are meeting all of the expectations for this project.

Causes and Effects of Cultural Diversity Issues

You want your employees working in an environment that embraces inclusion. Diverse cultural perspectives can inspire creativity and innovation, produce a higher quality experience for your guests, and enhance your marketing efforts. It is also an opportunity for personal and professional growth for your employees.

In this assignment, you identify challenging cultural diversity issues, examine the main causes and effects of the issues you have identified, and explore possible solutions for overcoming problematic issues.

Imagine you are the human resource director for a large hotel chain with locations in the following metropolitan cities:

New York, NY
Los Angeles, CA
Boston, MA
Detroit, MI
Denver, CO
Atlanta, GA
Miami, FL
Phoenix, AZ
Chicago, IL
Las Vegas, NV
Cleveland, OH
Little Rock, AR

You have been asked to write a report to your management highlighting problematic diversity issues that may arise in cities where your hotels are located. You have also been asked to propose possible strategies and solutions that will help to minimize the issues from affecting your diverse workforce.

Identify 3 challenging diversity issues to discuss in your report (e.g., race, class, gender, sexuality, religion, age, language, disability).

Write a 525- to 700-word report that addresses each of the 3 diversity issues you have identified. Each issue should be addressed in approximately 175 to 235 words.

Complete the following in your report:

Describe the 3 issues (select different issues than those you have addressed in previous weeks of this course).
Identify the city (or cities) where your hotels are more likely to see or experience each issue. Describe why you believe these issues will affect your business in the city or cities.
Examine the causes of each issue. From your perspective, why did each become an issue, and why does each issue continue to exist?
Identify the steps the company can take to address these issues and minimize the effects on your diverse workforce now and in the future. Consider both the perspective of the company as well as the individual.

Include a reference page at the end of the proposal.

Cardiovascular, Respiratory, & Renal Acid/Base Balance Regulation

This will be a discussion post discussing cardiovascular, respiratory, & renal acid/base balance regulation within the field of exercise science. You must support your response with at least two new peer-reviewed articles, but can also cite any of the provided resources. For this particular assignment, using Kenney W. L., Wilmore, J., Costill, D. Physiology of Sport and Exercise (7th ed.). Human Kinetics, Champaign, IL. 2019 Ch. 1Chapters 6 “The cardiovascular system and its control”, 7 “The respiratory system and its control”, & 8 “Cardiorespiratory responses to exercise”, respond to the following topic:

1) Explain how a condition like COPD may affect acid-base balance. Given what you have learned about acid-base regulation, what other systems in the body would be affected by this condition? Support your response with evidence and peer-reviewed sources.

Discussions require a response to specific questions that results in collaborative conversations and construction of knowledge that builds and expands learning within the course. You must support your Discussion postings and responses with references, unless you are asked to provide personal opinion or personal reflection for a specific question. Unless noted otherwise, your initial discussion postings should be approximately 500 words in length, substantive and scholarly in nature. I have attached links to relevant videos explaining these topics and other recommended resources to elaborate on the assignment expectations.
