Memo on affirmative action

Suppose you work for a major hotel chain in a human resources leadership capacity. One day,
your boss asks you to dra a memo for the company’s leadership team regarding the propriety
of affirmave acon in hiring. The company is concerned that its employee base isn’t diverse
enough, and that they risk scruny and perhaps even disparate impact discriminaon penales if
their workforce demographics were to ever be audited by the government.
In no less than 2,000 words, take a stance on the issue of affirmave acon, and arculate your
opinion to your company’s leaders in a professional memo. Although you will be defending one
side of this issue (either for or against), be sure to analyze and discuss BOTH sides. Your
submission should include, but is not limited to, thoughts on the following quesons:
1. What are the arguments in favor of each side?
2. What are the arguments against each side?
3. What relevant case law exists on the subject of affirmave acon? Which side does it
favor?
4. What is the EEOC’s current posion on voluntary workplace affirmave acon policies?
5. What other companies in the industry have adopted affirmave acon policies? To
which minories do they give preference?
6. What potenal consequences would there be if your company’s leaders follow your
advice?
4
7. What potenal consequences would there be if your company’s leaders ignore your
advice?
Remember that this project is a legal analysis of facts and circumstances, not an editorial piece.
In the law, you don’t get to say something ought to be a certain way because “that’s the way I
feel”. You must defend your posion with sound, raonal reasoning. As such, research is an
integral part of this project. Your memo should include a minimum of 5 external sources, and
they must be cited properly in APA format.

Applying an ethical decision-making model (see instructions for questions)

Most often we encounter ethical dilemmas related to end-of-life issues. The purpose of this forum is to practice applying the 6.0 Model of Ethical Reasoning PHI 1600 Applied Ethics Dr. Dave Monroe (attached). This decision framework was introduced in Week 1. You will apply it to an ethical dilemma you encountered, or have personal knowledge of, in a nursing setting. About 90-100 words per answer to each question.
Confidentiality is important! Do not disclose names of patients, staff, or agencies as you describe an ethical dilemma witnessed. Remember, an ethical dilemma is a problem that has multiple & often opposite but ethically justifiable solutions. Most of the time there is no “perfect” solution, but a reason-based decision must be made.

1. Briefly describe the ethical dilemma in nursing with necessary background information. Include a description of the major stake-holders. Who held the “power” or control over the final decision?

2. What were the options considered for resolving this issue? Were there specific regulations or agency policies applicable in the issue?

3. Which provision or specific interpretive statement of the ANA Code of Ethics for Nursing (attached) is relevant to the situation you described?

4. Discuss whether you think the “best” moral decision was selected. Is this an instance that contributes to ‘moral debris’ because of what was not done or could have been handled better?

Complete the following:
Try to complete the double-entry journaling using a Word document. If you lose all the formatting when you attempt to copy and paste it into your journal entry, you may attach the document instead for this week only. If you’d like to try using a real notebook and hand-writing your journal, you may do that too. In that case, you’ll need to scan your journal and definitely need to attach the scanned document.

Please review the section about the “Features of Academic Discourse” on pages 58-60. Focus especially on the five basic patterns common to most academic discourse and on how academic articles are organized, as depicted in Figure 2.4 on page 59. Then submit a one- to two-paragraph analysis of the article linked below, explaining to what extent you can find 1) the basic patterns of academic discourse and 2) the content described in Figure 2.4 in that article.
On pages 398-399 of our text, in chapter 11, our author talks about a spurious research article published in the Annals of Improbable Research about the reaction of cats to images of men with beards. A link to that article is provided below. Please click on that link and examine the article you find there to complete this assignment. Do not overlook the fact that this is a spurious article. That means it is a phony article, something made up and supposed to be funny. It’s just a joke.

upon 1-2 topics, just as you might want to cover 6-7 in varying lengths and sizes.

This project is the opportunity for you to a) reflect upon our learnings in-class, b) connect them to identifiable problems in a professional environment, c) think critically about how to resolve them, even just improve them, or at the very
least manage them.

Preliminary Working Bib
Working Bibliography

A Working Bibliography, as you know, is a preliminary list of sources that you are researching. In this case, I am using it to look over what you have found so far, which assures me (and you) that there will be plenty of useful material on the narrowed topic you chose.
I would like to see an alphabetized list of your sources (as you did for your last two papers, only this time correctly cite them). Include a short summary of the content of each source under each bibliographic listing. The Working Bibliography should include at least eight sources, which represent a variety of types of sources, e.g. books, reference materials, magazine, journal and Internet sources. Remember that online journals and magazines are considered published material, but websites are not. If you do not know the difference, please ask.

The very nature of research requires that once you have a research question that you are seeking answers to, you must look in a variety of places to gather as much information as possible. The Internet is a wonderful tool, but it is still very limited in the amount of substantive materials that can be obtained for free. For example, only about 8% of all journals are on the Web. That means that over 90% of the published material on any given subject is still in the library! Book sources as well as reviews and critiques of important books are often not reflected anywhere on websites (Amazon’s reader responses to books does not count as scholarly research!). The reference section of any library is a vast storehouse of data and factual information on everything from world populations to Civil War generals to day-by-day accounts of important periods of history to background information on the top 500 corporations in the U.S.

As a researcher, if you ignore this wealth of library material for the ease and comfort of the Internet, you are cheating both yourself and your reader out of the best and most accurate information available on your subject. Your job is not to find an author who says exactly what you want to say and then use her hard work to write your paper, but to compile a wide variety of information from a number of different types of sources and then make sense of it all yourself.
For instance, if you want to write a paper on the value of women police officers for a law enforcement agency, you can’t just go to a book about women police officers and a few websites promoting equal opportunity for women. Those would be valuable, but you also ought to go to some statistical information in reference books or databases about the numbers of women on any given police force, their pay, their opportunities for advancement, etc. You would want to look at books(don’t forget about e-books in the Shake Library) on the nature of police work today in order to counter the argument that it is too “physically demanding” for women. You would want to cite sociological studies that suggest that often women’s superior language skills preclude the need for violence in negotiating with criminals, etc.
Good research means you mine the entire field surrounding your research topic, not just the little hole you’re digging.
In the Working Bib, you should include with your preliminary eight resources, a brief summary of the source’s content under each bibliographic entry on the page. Try to put each source into proper format as you would on the WC page, but remember this is just a preliminary look for me at the sources you have been able to gather so far for your research on this topic.Preliminary Working Bib
