In
2011, SHRM (Society of HR Management) began a program of research involving
thousands of HR professionals to identify the critical competencies needed for
success as an HR professional. This
research led to the development of the SHRM Competency Model, which defines
eight key behavioral competencies (Ethical Practices, Leadership &
Navigation, Business Acumen, Relationship Management, Communication, Consultation,
Critical Evaluation and Global & Cultural Effectiveness) and one technical competency
(HR Expertise). The SHRM Competency
Model provides HR professionals with a comprehensive roadmap for developing the
capabilities they need to advance their careers and improve their effectiveness
in the workplace. For more information
on the SHRM Body of Knowledge, visit www.SHRM.org. This project builds knowledge in the Ethical
Practices, Leadership & Navigation, Communication, Critical Evaluation, and
HR Expertise domains. Specifically, under
the HR Expertise domain the project will increase awareness of the following HR
functional areas:
US Employment Laws and Regulations
Employee and Labor Relations
HR Strategic Planning
Diversity and Inclusion
Workforce Management

Tasks

1. In order to better understand
conflict and controversy surrounding topics in HRM, you are to focus on a human
resource issue with conflicting perspectives.
You are to present an argument with the intent of providing background
for the issue and making your case. This
project models what an HR professional will do before making a case to business
leaders.

2. Research the selected topic to
get an overview of potentially conflicting viewpoints. Find at least 4 credible references. Try to find 2 references to support you
viewpoint and 2 references opposing your position. Describe the circumstances and start to frame
your topic. Dont forget to update your
mind map.

3. Take a position. You can agree or disagree. You can take a position that what happened is
right or wrong, good or bad, or should have been handled that way or not. This week turn in your position statement on
your topic and your updated mind map identifying your position and the opposing
view.

4. Defend your position. Why do you feel your position is correct and
accurate? Include your research. Your
position must be supported with research and facts. Keep in mind that the CEO will value your position
if you support it with facts and best practices, not just your opinion.

5. Discuss the opposing view. Why would someone disagree with you? What would their reasoning be? It is important to be able to listen and
knowledgeable in the counter argument to your position. This week turn in at least one paragraph
defending your position and at least one paragraph addressing the opposing
view.

i want the essay to be about dua lipa and what is her story about love

one visual technique was used in your music video and how it creates meaning and effect (camera work/lighting/setting/character/symbol)
the image symbolizes and how it relates to the lyrics that you have chosen.
The music video is talking about Dua Lipa falling in love and having her heart crushed, and her attempt to start over by finding someone new.
When Dua Lipa and her friends go to a party, they try to find someone better, but they end up walking home alone since she doesn’t feel they need anybody longer.
Because she is better by herself and there is no one holding Dua Lipa back, she gets greater strength and power as a result of the break-up.

reflection paper from the very first chapter of the textbook and the very last.

This
reflection paper will require you to go back to the very first chapter of the
textbook and the very last. In an essay-like paper, you will need to answer the
following questions:
– Are ideologies useful to understand the
political world we live in?
– Are ideologies useful in your daily
life?
– Which ideology would dominate the world
in the future and why?
Make sure that
your paper has the structure of an essay with an introduction with a clear
thesis statement (what is your position and answers to all of those questions),
a clear body with multiple paragraphs that address deeply each questions and a
conclusion. The goal is for you to reflect on what you have learned, how useful
it was, but also which ideology caught your attention and will likely dominate
the world of tomorrow.

Your paper should be 4-5 pages paper (double-spaced,
Times New Roman, font 12, margins 2.5cm). As per other work in this course, the
referencing has to be done using APA style. At least 3 academic references must
be used (one of which has to be your textbook).

Planning and Drafting a Textual Analysis

Begin by reading one of the two reading selections provided to you this week in Moodle.

“Raised by YouTube” by Alexis Madrigal
“The Border Patrol State” by Leslie Marmon Silko

The reading that you select will be the base text used for the Textual Analysis writing assignment.
The purpose of this discussion is to practice writing about what you found in your critical reading of the text you are using for your textual analysis.
For this discussion, you will focus specifically on two concepts from the source you will use for your textual analysis: claims and evidence. Your goal this week will be to be able to find at least two claims in the reading you select, and two examples of evidence within the same reading.

Creating a Claim Paragraph
1. What is the claim (the Topic Sentence)?
identify the various kinds of claims the author uses to support her overall ideas.
2. What type of claim is it? Why?
Provide examples from the text to support your identifications.
Creating an Evidence Paragraph
1. What type of evidence does the author use to support this claim?
identify and summarize the kinds of evidence used for each claim.
2. What explanation is provided?
3. What details are provided?
4 What type of evaluation is provided?
Evaluate the evidence. Is this evidence convincing? What other evidence could the writer use to make a stronger claim?
The order should be:
Claim 1 paragraph
Evidence for Claim 1 Paragraph
Claim 2 paragraph
Evidence for Claim 2 Paragraph
Proper MLA formatting needs to be used. This means you need to include proper in-text citation and a Work Cited page with your assignment.
The paragraphs you write in this discussion can be used in the Textual Analysis writing assignment. At this point, the paragraphs do not have to be detailed or very long, but the more effort you put into this assignment, the less you will need to do later.

Develop a project plan for building a small tree house. Include at least three overall tasks, with each overall task having five work packages.

Develop a project plan for building a small tree house. Include at least three overall tasks, with each overall task having five work packages. Develop, showing all working estimates, the PERT estimate for each work package.
With this information, develop a Critical Path Diagram. Determine the total amount of resource time that will be needed for the project. Also show which tasks can be done simultaneously and what the project duration will be.
Finally, create a Gantt Chart (using a spreadsheet program is fine) showing the start and end dates for each task and demonstrating how tasks link to other tasks.

In Updike’s story “A&P,” the protagonist, Sammy, makes comments about the other characters. How accurate are his judgments about them?

In Updike’s story “A&P,” the protagonist, Sammy, makes comments about the other characters. How accurate are his judgments about them? How might the characters be portrayed if the story were told by Lengel?
Remember the minimum length of 250 words. Write in complete sentences and use paragraphs. If you use quotes from the story, include a parenthetical citation with the page number. Don’t use lengthy quotes – most of your text should be your ideas supported by short references to the story.
To practice for your formal essays, write in third person. There is no need to begin with “In my opinion…” or ” I think…” – just write your thought. For example, instead of “In my opinion, Stokesie is immature” write “Stokesie is immature.” Readers will know this is your opinion.
