Instructions:
You have been hired as an associate for a software company, Dysfunctional Software. Dysfunctional Software offers support solutions to a wide range of software issues and business needs. Dysfunctional’s client list exceeds 500 businesses in the United States and 200 businesses in other countries. The company has recently started to experience significant and rapid growth. As a result of the recent growth, Dysfunctional Software realizes it must respond to client and market demands more rapidly. Dysfunctional Software knows that it needs to attract and retain the highest quality employees in the market to develop a sustained competitive advantage. Accordingly, Dysfunctional Software desires to establish an organizational culture and climate that maximizes individual efficiency, productivity, and job satisfaction.
Your manager, Harry Harried, has asked you to help create a recruiting video for Dysfunctional Software that will entice potential new employees to work there and provide ideas management can pursue to explore to ensure a positive work culture is developed that maximizes efficiency and productivity at the corporate and individual level. He wants to portray Dysfunctional as a company with a deep commitment to its employees, a positive corporate culture, and employees embracing its core values and enjoying coming to work. As background for the task of developing the video, Mr. Harried provides you with a recruiting video for Spotify, acknowledged as a world-class employer by its 30-country global workforce. Mr. Harried believes that Spotify is an exceptional company in terms of its approach to employees, its hiring practices, its organizational culture, and its organizational structure.
You are requested to view the video on Spotify: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar4lq1l8pAc. (You may need to right-click on the link and open it in a new window.) Mr. Harried also requires you to read the material he has assigned (i.e., your course material for this project).
After viewing the video read the assigned project material, you must write a report to Mr. Harried covering the information requested below. For the report, you are using only the Spotify video and course materials. If additional sources are used, no credit will be awarded for those sources.

Data transformation

A visualization is an important tool for insight generation, but it is rare that you get the data in exactly the right form you need. Often you’ll need to create some new variables or summaries, or maybe you just want to rename the variables or reorder the observations in order to make the data a little easier to work with. You’ll learn how to do all that (and more!) in this chapter, which will teach you how to transform your data using the dplyr package and a dataset that contains a representative sample of Indian workers with recorded wage data from 2004.

Should individuals be held to agreements even if they did not know about them?

In some ways, contracts can be very easy to enter into. In fact, we often enter into agreements simply by our actions.
For example, many businesses place small notices near their entryways warning that by entering the building you consent to video recording or by parking in a specific lot you agree that the lot owner is not liable should anything happen to your car (even if you paid to park there).
Are these agreements valid?
Should individuals be held to agreements even if they did not know about them?
Use specific details about contract formation and performance in your response.

Why is it important for counselors and other behavioral health professionals to become familiar with the use of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)? How can use of the DSM’s cross-cutting symptom measures aid counselors in clinical diagnosing?

150 words with scholarly source(s) for each of the following questions:

1. concerning assessing depression, at times I have had clients and their families minimize their substance abuse and or drinking and used depression as the issue that needed to be treated. On the other hand, consider the stigma or labeling of being an addict versus being depressed. How would you confront those thoughts? For some it might sound better to say I am in treatment for depression as opposed to substances related disorders.

2. what are some thoughts about this article and if your comments are substantively noted, I will mark them as such.

Please write a 3 page essay identifying the the key characteristics of both conservatism and liberalism in Latin America.

The struggle between liberals and conservatives profoundly shaped Latin American societies after independence throughout the 19th century. Different from the contemporary uses of “liberal” and “conservative,” these struggles were centered around questions of the Enlightenment and national sovereignty. Both a world view and a political movement, liberalism was a central feature of Mexican history in the 19th century.

Please dentify the key characteristics of both conservatism and liberalism in Latin America. In this section, focus primarily on the ideals and principles surrounding these two philosophies. Next, discuss what were the principal differences between the Liberal and Conservative parties in Mexico by the mid-nineteenth century? How did these contrasts actually affect politics in Mexico? The second part should draw from Vanderwood’s article on La Reforma and Benito Juárez.

Requirements: The paper length should be between 3 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, with footnotes where necessary. Paper should include a title.

The introductory paragraph should be a minimum of three sentences and a maximum of six-seven sentences.
The introduction should include what main topic/idea/question you plan to pursue in your paper. For example, “In this paper, I will demonstrate that the emergence of human rights in South America occurred in the same period as democratization.” Or for example, “My paper will identify the main characteristics of modernist architecture and its impact on American cities.”
The introduction can be thought of as “a preview,” you are giving a brief synopsis of the main ideas the reader can expect to find in the paper (ex. “In the first part of this paper, I will discuss….”)

*I will add easy and quick powerpoints to give a bit of background for the first part of the paper. I will also add the Vanderwood’s article on La
Reforma and Benito Juárez article for the second part of the paper.*
