										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Essay Prompt:<br />
Essay #2: In chapter #6 of your textbook The Leadership Experience, the author Richard Daft makes a point to focus on Moral and Ethical Leadership. Morals are principles that govern a person&#8217;s behavior or activities. In business we can say that ethics is the study of what constitutes right and wrong behavior in the workplace or in a professional setting (e.g., school, organization, group etc.). According to Daft, many ethical problems exist in today&#8217;s business environment because leaders face many pressures that challenge their ability to make the right decisions. Pressures to maximize profit, meet short-term department goals, to look successful to everyone around them, to please shareholders, etc. Even as a college student you may encounter ethical dilemmas in the course of your academic career. With the pressure to achieve and maintain a high-grade point average (GPA) students may feel the pressure to continue to perform at a high level whatever the cost may be. With that pressure and the ability for students to easily share information, students may be presented with the opportunity or the temptation to cheat on an exam or on their course work. As a student this may be an ethical or moral dilemma that you may find yourself facing at some point in your academic career. Whether in a business environment or academic setting, many of you will be faced with the realities of greed, dishonesty, self-interest, competition, and many more. However, when faced with these realities leaders can act based on moral values and choose to make the right decision. According to Daft, this is called leading with courage.<br />
Writing assignment: As a business leader over the course of your career while trying to maximize profits and guide your organization with ethical decision making, you may find that certain behavioral traits will assist you with your success. Moral leadership doesn&#8217;t mean ignoring the realities of profit and loss or manufacturing cost and achieving department goals, but it does require recognizing that all of these goals can be accomplished by means of ethical leadership. Using Exhibit 6.1 on page 171, list 2-3 behavioral traits that ethical leaders should tot only have but demonstrate on a daily basis. The first part of your essay should describe low a leader&#8217;s behavioral traits can lead to success while exercising ethical decision making<br />
n the business environment. The second part of your essay should focus on specific ways</p>

this file as the basis for your assignment. Do not make any changes to this pre-defined<br />
template items (this means start with the items that already included and that are<br />
expected in the spreadsheet). You may add your information to the existing sheets. You<br />
may add extra worksheets as needed as well update the template.<br />
Do not use a template from a previous semester – this is academic dishonesty and will be<br />
subject to disciplinary action.<br />
•<br />

events where she could sell her products. There is a used food truck available, but it will require some<br />
modifications to work for her business. Additionally, there will be extra expenses for operating it.<br />
The following are the costs for this that have to be accounted for – some are ongoing monthly, and some are<br />
one-time. She would like to pay for the used food truck over time like a car loan, but it will be at a different<br />
interest rate and term than her existing loan. New Trucks cost between $50 and $100K so she was really<br />
excited when she found an ad locally for the following used truck:<br />
Georgia Food Truck For Sale: $33,000. -5.9 24 valve Cummins diesel engine, Automatic transmission -2000<br />
Freightliner MT45 with 363,132 miles, needs new tires.<br />
The good news? She was able to negotiate the price to $29,900 but will still have to buy tires. The truck can<br />
be bought on a loan over 6 years at 7.15% interest.<br />
To get it fully operational she will need the following: Tires $3600, Paint or Wrap to brand with Perez POPS $2500, Upgraded commercial freezer $3900, additional licensing for the food truck $145, Truck Insurance<br />
$650 monthly separate from the business insurance.<br />
To operate this part of the business, she will need to hire 2 additional workers that have commercial driver&#8217;s<br />
licenses. She will have to pay these 2 people $15 per hour.<br />
The plan is to attend events and sell Perez POPS. Events vary month to month. But, each event will involve<br />
paying the workers for an 8 hour day which includes the setup time and working the event.<br />
At events, Perez POPS will be selling an estimated 1000 pops per event. Below is the schedule of events<br />
over the year and the approximate number of pops sold at each event.<br />

In a new spreadsheet, using the existing Proforma – add on these additional needs to get the food truck<br />
business started. Should Katie invest in this opportunity now? Why or why not. Add a textbox to the<br />
spreadsheet for your recommendation/answers to these questions.<br />
Recommendations:<br />
Show your client how these recommendations would affect the bottom line by recreating the pro forma for<br />
each scenario and applying the data analysis to determine profitability.<br />
You do not have to start from scratch, but note, these are completely independent pro formas. They must<br />
update accordingly from the data worksheets.<br />
Plan on showing your analysis and discussing the proforma changes that occur under each new scenario<br />
and how it affects profitability.<br />
Use a formatted text box (not a comment) to explain your recommendations under each new pro forma. This<br />
will be approximately a 2-3 paragraph endeavor.<br />
Reminder:<br />
Submit the completed Project in an Excel file to the D2L assignment Dropbox. Name the file<br />

Abstract<br />
Stress is generally indicated as a deviation from normal functioning of body and mind. Stress can approach in an<br />
organization due to many reasons such as control over work, managerial style of manager etc. Stress in limited quantity is<br />
beneficial to organization and employee as well. It helps to achieve personal as well as goals of organization. But stress in excess<br />
quantity can cause harmful effects on the body, mind and psychology of employees. Stress can be measured by using<br />
psychological methods involving use of questionnaires. Physical measurement involve measuring of various physical constants<br />
of body such as blood pressure. Physiological measures include measurements of various hormonal levels etc. And the measures<br />
to relieve this stress include sports, music, dancing, hobbies etc. Excessive stress can be reduced by help of professional<br />
counsellors. But the stress at workplace is an important issue must be dealt with to achieve progress. Day by day challenges for<br />
human is increasing in many different fields as if progress in turn creates new problems. Slowly the nature of working has been<br />
changed and still these changes are in progress. Because of these changes, number of illnesses has been increased, morality and<br />
human aspects are faded and new problems are occurred every day, so that we are facing job stress which called “illness of the<br />
century”. As a measure to minimize stress, delegating some work, share burden with colleagues, leave and time off work with<br />
family and love ones, as well as reducing work overtime ranked highest as strategies for stress management. Findings of a<br />
number of studies on this aspect says that stress has a great impact on the professionals and thereby affects the level of<br />
productivity. Thus it is recommended that professionals should exhibit self-control and good self-esteem; engage in continuous<br />
professional development on skills for better organization, integration of work within specified project constraints and delegation<br />
of assignment, authority and breaking work into manageable parts so as to be able to cope with stress.<br />

Introduction<br />
In our everyday lives we get to hear the word<br />
‘stress’ from our peers, colleagues, teachers and<br />
doctors. Even the word ‘stress’ can be heard now a days<br />
in the news, in the magazines and on other social media<br />
too. But exactly what is stress?? In the layman’s<br />
language stress is’ frustration or anxiety or nervousness<br />
or change in regular function of mind or body due to<br />
negative or positive influences around us’. So the<br />
definitions of stress by different experts are as followsArnod (1960) thinks that “Stress is any condition that<br />
disturbs normal functioning”.<br />
Selye (1974) defines stress as “Stress is a non-specific<br />
response of the body to any demand”.<br />
According to Beehr &#038; Newman (1978) “Stress is a<br />
condition arising from the interaction of people and<br />
their jobs and characterized by changes within people<br />
that force them to deviate from their normal<br />
functioning”.<br />
A recent report by the National Association of<br />
Mental Health distinguishes stress from pressure, where<br />
pressure can be defined as a subjective feeling of<br />
tension or arousal that is triggered by a potentially<br />
stressful situation. But, where pressure exceeds an<br />
individual’s ability to cope, the result is stress.<br />

Types of stress<br />
Based on its impact on body mind and<br />
performance, stress can be categorized into two types1. Eu-stress- Eu-stress is just a reasonable amount of<br />
stress that an individual can take. This stress has<br />
positive after effects. Eu-stress can create passion<br />
for work. It may be able to provoke hidden abilities<br />
and talents. It inspires humans to take on new<br />
activities. Such well quantified stress can lead to<br />
success.<br />
2. Distress- Distress is an excessive quantity of<br />
stress. This amount of stress is harmful to the<br />
individual. Distress can cause negative effects on<br />
body and mind of individual. Such stress causes<br />
effects as depression, heart attack etc.<br />

Causes of stress at workplace<br />
Causes of stress can be divided into two categories<br />
based upon the source of the cause. Two major<br />
classifications areInternal causes- These causes involve an individual’s<br />
mind-set, way of thinking etc. These causes are<br />
originated from within the individual and lead to stress.<br />
These internal causes are based on perception of an<br />
individual. Even if no threat exists in the surrounding a<br />
person may feel a person or a situation threatening and<br />
may get stressed.<br />
External causes- These causes include many external<br />
factors within an organization which affect an<br />
individual’s performance in organization which are1. Job insecurity- When an employee works in an<br />
organization, fear of losing his/her job leads to<br />
chronic stress which causes reduced work quality.<br />
2. Working hours- Very odd working hours may<br />
lead to many physiological problems in employees<br />
which may lead to stress during work.<br />
3. Control at work- This refers to extent of control<br />
an employee has over his/her work. If employee<br />
has no or very little control over the work then<br />
he/she loses interest in the work and feels stressed<br />
to meet expectations of superiors.<br />
4. Managerial style- The controlling style of<br />
managers effects stress of the employees.<br />
Managers with autocratic style of control give very<br />
little freedom to the employees in decision making<br />
5.<br />
6.<br />
and planning. So, employees working under such<br />
managers are stressed due to very less control over<br />
their work and very high restrictions.<br />
Over load &#038; under load- Overload of work<br />
means performing a large amount of work in a very<br />
short time. Such heightened expectations from any<br />
individual may lead to stress. Elsewhere under load<br />
is very short amount of work to do and time<br />
available is too much. Here employee questions<br />
his/her capacity and feels stressed.<br />
Sometimes situations requesting behavioural<br />
changes may put an employee under stress due to<br />
need of behaving in a way which is not natural for<br />
the employee.<br />
Top causes of work-related stress: When quizzed on<br />
sources of stress, Indian employees rank unclear or<br />
conflicting job expectations (40%), inadequate staffing<br />
(lack of support, uneven workload or performance in<br />
group) (38%) and lack of work/life balance (38%) as<br />
the top three reasons according to Towers Watson’s<br />
Global Benefit Attitudes Survey that polled 22,347<br />
global workers out of which 7,094 workers are in Asia<br />
Pacific (2006 workers are based in India).<br />
In Asia Pacific, the top contributors were<br />
inadequate staffing, low pay (or low increase in pay)<br />
and lack of work/life balance. Globally, inadequate<br />
staffing is common as the single most important<br />
contributor to work-related stress.<br />

How to measure stress?<br />
There are many methods to measure stress.<br />
Measuring stress is quantifying the response by the<br />
body responds to a stressful situation. These indicators<br />
for stress involve measurement of an array of properties<br />
of body which are changed during stress.<br />
1. Psychological<br />
measurementsThese<br />
measurements measure stress based upon<br />
psychological observations. Each person has a<br />
different psychology and way of reacting towards<br />
any stressor. Hence to gather those responses in<br />
stress many questionnaires were prepared which<br />
contain questions which measure response to<br />
stress.<br />
2. Physiological measurements- When someone<br />
comes across any situation which induces stress,<br />
the HPA axis of the person is activated which<br />
contains Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Adrenal glands<br />
of endocrine system. On stimulation, these glands<br />
produce their hormones i.e. Cortisol and<br />
catecholamines. Elevated levels of those hormones<br />
are found in blood, urine and plasma of the person<br />
undergoing through stress.<br />

Autonomic measures- These include changes in<br />
various constants of body and concentration of<br />
various enzymes.<br />
 Blood pressure- When a person is undergoing<br />
through stress, blood pressure is elevated from<br />
its normal 120/80 values.<br />
 Vagal tone- Vagal tone is a parasympathetic<br />
response which leads to prevention of reducing<br />
heart rate during sleep or rest. Which means that<br />
during sleep, the person’s heart beats with the<br />
same force as it beats when he is awake.<br />
<br />
Salivary alpha amylase- This enzyme in saliva<br />
is major indication for stress. The levels of this<br />
enzyme are elevated during exercise. And the<br />
link between level of catecholamines and<br />
salivary alpha amylase is proven. Also this<br />
enzyme can be used to measure action of<br />
parasympathetic nervous system.<br />
 Salivary Cortisol- Salivary Cortisol represents<br />
amount of Cortisol not bound with any receptor.<br />
This concentration can pass through blood brain<br />
barrier and alter high order cognitive functions<br />
such as learning, memory, emotional processing.<br />

Managing stress at workplace<br />
Performance curve of employees<br />
Explanation of performance curve: When pressure on<br />
an employee to perform a task is low then employee<br />
gets bored due to lack of enough motivation due to<br />
pressure from superiors. At optimum pressure,<br />
employee is highly motivated to do his work and shows<br />
best performance. But when levels of stress exceed the<br />
optimum level, employee is unable to cope up with<br />
such a high stress and employee faces various disorders<br />
like anxiety. Hence according to above curve, in an<br />
organization, optimum pressure must be put on<br />
employees so that they give their best performance.<br />
Effects of stress<br />
Humans are most intelligent animals on earth. But<br />
still they fall prey to stress created by their own<br />
organizations and companies. This situation is equally<br />
dangerous for companies because excessive stress in<br />
employees cause employee turnover. Highly stressed<br />
employees choose to remain absent to avoid stressful<br />
environment in organization. Employees who are<br />
highly stressed lack motivation.<br />
When body encounters any threatening or stressful<br />
situation, body shows three distinct phases to combat<br />
the stress1. Alarming stage- Here body prepares to execute<br />
fight/flight action. Here blood pressure increases,<br />
blood vessels are dilated, process of digestion<br />
slows down, and breathing is faster and deeper.<br />
Body stores energy for upcoming response.<br />
2. Resistance- Here the stimulus of threat persists.<br />
The body adjusts towards the stimulus and tries to<br />
reduce the effects of stress. Body uses its capability<br />
of adaption as a shield to fight against the threat.<br />
Body becomes habituated towards the stimulus of<br />
stress and is able to tolerate it.<br />
3. Exhaustion stage- In this stage, the body cannot<br />
cope up further with stressing stimulus. The<br />
adaptation power of body decreases and body is<br />
susceptible to symptoms of stress.<br />
Physical consequences: Stress can manifest itself into<br />
various physical observations in the form of altered<br />
functioning of system. Altered functioning of<br />
cardiovascular system causes high blood pressure.<br />
Stress on muscoskeletal system causes headaches and<br />
tension. Stress causes change in motility of GIT hence<br />
causing constipation or diarrhoea. Stress may affect<br />
CNS of employees to cause light headedness, fainting<br />
or dizziness. It also causes sudden ringing in ears.<br />
Stressors can increase sweating and cause clammy<br />
souls and palms. Even the respiratory system is affected<br />
by stress causing difficulties in breathing and sighing.<br />
Stress also affects our immune system which makes us<br />
susceptible for infections such as common cold etc.<br />
Unexplained and/or frequent allergy attacks are<br />
common in stressful condition due to sensitized body.<br />
Stuttering or stammering while talking is commonly<br />
seen in stressed individuals. Belching or flatulence is<br />
seen. Grinding and gritting teeth are present in stressed<br />
individuals.<br />
Psychological problems: Constant stress causes altered<br />
psychology of individual. A chronic stress may present<br />
itself into varieties of observations. Stress causes<br />
decreased confidence of an individual hence it creates<br />
nervousness. Stress causes excessive anxiety where<br />
person always worries over minute things. Stressed<br />
person always shows guiltiness due to his reduced work<br />
capacity. Stress causes insomnia. Stress gives a person<br />
his worst nightmares. Stress makes a person devoid of<br />
sleep. Stress causes occurrence of disturbing dreams.<br />
Stress causes disturbed concentration. Stress causes<br />
racing thoughts through the mind. Stress increases<br />
forgetfulness. Stress makes you more emotional. Stress<br />
causes fear and anxiety. Stress for a long time causes<br />

depression. Capacity to take decision is hampered.<br />
Stressed people are susceptible to dementia and<br />
Alzheimer more than healthy individuals.<br />
Behavioural problems: Stress causes induced<br />
behavioural changes which can be directly seen into<br />
stressed individuals. Stress causes short temperedness<br />
of an individual. Stress causes frustration in stressed<br />
individuals. Such frustrated individuals become more<br />
hostile due to feeling of depression. Stressed<br />
Managing stress at workplace<br />
individuals seem to be more forgetful in remembering<br />
small details. People suffering through stress are<br />
disorganized. These people are more confusing in<br />
taking even a small decision. Stressed people cannot<br />
learn new things very easily. Stressed people often feel<br />
lonelier than other people. They often show feeling of<br />
worthlessness. These people show suicidal tendencies.<br />
People undergoing stress are more confused. Stressed<br />
people show more possibility of obsessive/compulsive<br />
behaviour.<br />
How can you combat stress?<br />
There are many effective ways which help an individual to combat stress and live a happy and healthy life.<br />
These methods include• Get more sleep- which provides proper rest to body and helps combat the effect of stress.<br />
• Enter in physical activities- physical activities boost the mind and body and help to regain the confidence<br />
which is lost due to stress.<br />
• Relaxation techniques- such as arts, dance, music help people to get more creative and relieves the stress.<br />
• Talking to a close one- talking to a close one helps to relieve stress and provides comfort.<br />
• Time management- allows efficient usage of time. And which helps persons to organize his/her activities. And<br />
which helps to maintain daily course of activities and it reduces stress.<br />
• Say ‘NO’ to additional unimportant request- taking additional, unimportant requests which are not necessary,<br />
increases the workload and causes additional stress.<br />
• Take adequate rest if you are ill- taking adequate rest helps people recover from the symbols of stress and<br />
helps to improve the mood.<br />
• Avoid habits such as smoking, alcohol etc. &#8211; these products cause dependence and further induce stress by need<br />
of continuous consumption of these products.<br />
• Facing the cause- facing the cause of stress is one of the major solutions to reduce the stress. When you face<br />
the stressor, the reason of stress is no more and the person is free from stress.<br />

Organisational Measures to Combat Stress<br />
The following measures can be taken by organisations<br />
to combat stress:<br />
A. Reducing Long working hours: Organisations<br />
should see that long working hours of employees<br />
should be reduced and proper time management<br />
techniques are taught to them.<br />
B. Teaching Employees to do Work-Life balance:<br />
Required trainings should be given to employees to<br />
maintain the work-life balance.<br />
C. Use of Technology: The organizations should use<br />
the available technology and provide specialized<br />
training courses on any topic required for work<br />
advancement.<br />
D. Communication &#8211; The organizations should<br />
encourage communication and always asks for<br />
feedback, where the HR manager should always<br />
directly accessible to any employee to listen to.<br />
The organization always try to follow up with all<br />
corporate and business news, in addition to new<br />
Managing stress at workplace<br />
studies published regarding work stress, how to<br />
spot it and solve it.<br />
E. Security Fears &#8211; The Organizations should take<br />
efforts in making employees and people feel safe<br />
by applying laws for security checks, checking<br />
identities of visitors to the firm and not allowing<br />
unauthorized people to enter.<br />
F. Introduction of Retirement Plans &#8211; Applying<br />
Social Security system and pension funds, which is<br />
a great insurance and relief for employees in order<br />
not to worry about their retirement any more.<br />
G. Job stability and fear of downsizing &#8211; The<br />
Economic Crisis is very complex. Unfortunately,<br />
layoffs and downsizing are forced on many<br />
organizations, and there is nothing that<br />
management can do internally to stop this issue.<br />
H. Workplace Diversity -The firms should hire all<br />
kinds of experiences from all ages, genders, and<br />
from all levels of educations.<br />

Conclusion<br />
Now we can conclude that stress is an important<br />
factor for the employees in any organization. Stress<br />
within a specific limit helps to achieve necessary<br />
objectives. But if stress exceeds any particular limit<br />
then it shows its harmful effects on the body, mind and<br />
behaviour. Now the ways to cope with the stress<br />
include adequate sleep, sports, talking to a close one,<br />
relaxation habits and quitting of addictive products.<br />
These all must be used to get relief from stress.<br />
Workplace stress plays a significant role in<br />
physiological and psychological well-being of<br />
employees. It also affects the productivity and<br />
performance of organisations. The various results of<br />
workplace stress like physical problems, mental<br />
disturbances,<br />
emotional<br />
imbalance,<br />
lifestyle<br />
disturbances and behavioural problems lead to disturb<br />
the climate of the organisation. These issues create<br />
interpersonal conflicts, decreased productivity, low<br />
organisational commitment, increased absenteeism and<br />
more attrition etc. By facilitating the employees with<br />
effective training, the management can provide them<br />
with platform to solve their stress related problems.<br />
Yoga, meditation, exercise and recreational activities<br />
can provide better environment to control stress. Even<br />
time management skills help to manage stress in an<br />
effective manner. These simple but useful steps can<br />
pave the path for improved efficiency of employees and<br />
increased productivity of organisation.<br />

Topic: Identify five ways to manage workplace stress.<br />
Introduction:<br />
A. Importance of managing stress.<br />
a. Managing workplace stress can make a substantial difference<br />
in the lives of workers across all industries.<br />
b. “It can improve morale and lead to increased productivity and<br />
better focus, fewer workplace injuries, fewer sick days, and<br />
improved physical health (e.g., lower blood pressure, stronger<br />
immune system). All these factors can also lead to reduced<br />
turnover among an employer’s workforce.” – osha<br />
B. Understanding and managing stress requires that you directly engage<br />
your body, emotions, behavior, and mind.<br />
C. Achieving a lower stress level can be possible by implementing at<br />
least five easy stress management strategies.<br />
Body 1: Body<br />
A. Get more sleep.<br />
B. Physical activity<br />
C. Avoid habits.<br />
a. Smoking, alcohol, etc.<br />
Body 2: Emotions/Behavior<br />
A. Relaxation techniques<br />
a. Music, arts, dance<br />
B. Face the cause<br />
Body 3: Mind<br />
A. Talking to a close one.<br />
a. There are times when those who are closest to you can be a<br />
listening ear to help navigate a stressful time. It could be a<br />
coworker or mentor who may have been in a similar situation.<br />
There may also be a pastor or friend who can provide a comforting<br />
word. We as a community have a very unique way of supporting<br />
each other and it can start just be talking and feeling heard.<br />
B. Mental Health Resources<br />
a. Employer Sponsored<br />
i. A 2021 survey completed by the American Psychological<br />
Association found that 85% reported that resources put in<br />
place by employers helped with managing mental health. –<br />
osha.gov<br />
b. Health insurance<br />
C. Create a self-care regimen.<br />
Conclusion<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Topic: Communication Event. You have your choice between two persuasive speeches.<br />
The first speech is about starting school later in the day and can be found by clicking HERELinks to an external site..</p>
<p>After watching one of these speeches, you will write an essay applying Aristotle’s Proofs to the content and delivery of the speech.<br />
Your essay should have a brief introduction paragraph. <br />
Then, your essay should have three sections: ethos, pathos, and logos. Your job is to analyze the speech for speaker credibility, use of emotion, and use of reason.<br />
For the sections on pathos and logos, there are basically two choices to write about:<br />
The speech contains pathos (separate section for logos.) Here are examples of the pathos (logos) used. Here is how we know it is pathos (logos). An evaluation about the pathos (logos) being effective or not and why.<br />
The speech does not contain pathos (separate section for logos.) Does the lack of pathos (logos) hurt the speech or help it? Why would the speaker make a choice not to include pathos (logos)?<br />
***You will not be able to include every instance of logos and pathos in your essay. Be discerning! Be choosy!<br />
For the section on ethos, there are basically two things to write about:<br />
Evidence of the speaker’s character, competence, and/or goodwill. Writing specifically about initial, derived and terminal credibility would go here too. Does the speaker have positive ethos in these areas or negative? How do you know?<br />
Lack of evidence of the speaker’s character, competence, and/or goodwill. Writing specifically about where there should have been initial, derived and terminal credibility would go here too. What could the speaker say or do that would give them positive ethos in these areas? Explain.<br />
***It is possible for a combination of the two: positive competence, negative character&#8230;<br />
Your essay should have a brief concluding paragraph. In it, give your overall impression and evaluation of the speaker and the speech. Make sure your evaluation is connected to your analysis (in other words, don’t write “no logos, no pathos, bad ethos, but a great speech.”)<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our topic this week is attention and perception, which involves the sensations that we focus on and take in from our five senses. Make sure that your main post relates to this topic.<br />
Be sure too that you are presenting something that you learned for the week. Note that it is not sufficient to discuss your thoughts and experiences in your main post without relating it to what you learn. It is all about your learning!  ? (This means that you should be citing a source or sources in your main post). Then, you can link it to your thoughts and experiences ? Please make sure to cite your sources. Any time you put something in writing from a source, it requires both intext citing and a full reference.<br />
Challenge yourself to earn extra points through one of these accolades:<br />
super scholarship (including and citing scholarly articles)<br />
distinguished post<br />
distinguished reply<br />
good insight<br />
cool idea</p>
<p>good application<br />
One small example of an attention and perception question is: How do colors and images impact what we choose to focus on, and how do we retain information about what we see?<br />
CLASSMATE 1-For this week&#8217;s discussion, I found a video that Hank with Crash Course made basically explaining the difference between sensation and perception. Hank explains how a neurologist named Oliver Sacks had a rare neurological disorder that made him unable to recognize faces including his own. The video explains that Perception is the way that our brains organize, interpret, and identify information, whereas sensation involves one or all of the five senses being activated. The reason that Oliver Sacks&#8217; neurological disorder is interesting, however, is that the cause is not due to sensation despite the fact he is using one of his five senses in order to see the faces of others and himself, but instead, it is perception. Oliver Sacks had no issues in seeing other items as they were in the natural environment, only faces, making this disorder an issue with his ability to interpret and store the information his brain gathers when viewing faces.]<br />
CLASSMATE 2&#8212;In the Disney movie Finding Nemo Dori a regal blue tang fish suffers from short-term memory. In the movie, Dori tries to help Nemo&#8217;s dad Marlin search for Nemo. Marlin finds it difficult to work with Dori because she often forgets what she is doing and where she is going. Dori is aware that she has a disability and explains it to Marlin. Despite her disability, she doesn&#8217;t let that stop her from helping Marlin find Nemo.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TRANSCRIPT: APPLICATION 4-1 MINUTES<br />
View the YouTube video Simulated Meeting for Minute Taking Practice by furryfeettv. Here’s the<br />
link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAr_t2OsEdc. Based on the contents of that meeting,<br />
generate minutes using your textbook as a source for formatting.<br />
Narrator: You are about to see a meeting taking place at ABC Manufacturing. Carol Fletcher<br />
and her team are gathering for their fort nightly meeting. The agenda contains seven items<br />
including any other business. Take a minute now to gather pens and paper and position yourself<br />
to take the roll of minute-taker before the meeting starts.<br />
Carol: Welcome to our department meeting and nice to see you all.<br />
Everyone: Morning.<br />
Carol: Now we have a new team member, Trudy Finch our new HR manager. So, I’d like to<br />
start with some introductions. As you are aware I am the senior team manager, Carol Fletcher.<br />
Peter&#8230;<br />
Peter: Hi. I’m Peter Morgan, finance manager with a team of five reporting to me.<br />
Frank: And I am, we haven’t met yet, I’m Frank Mayfair, IT manager. I’ve been here for the<br />
last ten years.<br />
Trudy: Okay.<br />
Mike: Hi Trudy. I’m Mike Reynard; we spoke on the phone last week. I’m in charge of the<br />
production floor.<br />
TRANSITION<br />
Peter: And we came in only 15 percent cheaper.<br />
Frank: That is a significant amount.<br />
Carol: Okay Peter. I’ll go ahead and purchase on the proviso that the quality and guaranty are<br />
just as good.<br />
Item 1: Performance Against Targets<br />
Carol: Okay! Mike, could you update us on the production figures for last quarter please.<br />
Mike: Absolutely. Figures are up on the previous quarter by 2 percent on product streams 1 and<br />
2 and down by […] 5 percent on product stream 3. We believe this is due to a recent sales<br />
campaign which focused on the higher margin items in product streams 1 and 2, which is a little<br />
short-sited, as reorder rates are in stream 3 products are quicker, so we tend to sell more<br />
products.<br />
Item 2: Team Member Recruitment Program<br />
TRANSCRIPT: APPLICATION 4-1 MINUTES<br />
PAGE 2<br />
Carol: Moving on to the next agenda item. Trudy could you summarizes the recent recruitment<br />
program.<br />
Trudy: Absolutely! Basically the full figures are in the HR report on the internet, so I’ll just<br />
give a brief statement.<br />
Frank: Okay.<br />
Trudy: We recruited ten new people from January to April, and nine have successfully<br />
completed their probation. So, just one woman, Sugarose, she left after three weeks; her<br />
husband had to relocate for work. So, overall it was a success. Interestingly, our successful<br />
recruits came from the radio ad rather than our traditional advertising route; therefore, I would<br />
suggest that we review our advertising methods.<br />
TRANSITION<br />
Mike: …a black and yellow safety tape at the top and bottom of the stairs to warn people as a<br />
visual sign. Now unfortunately, whoever put the tape down didn’t do a particularly good job.<br />
They left a lip; somebody tripped over it and caused themselves an injury. So, we need to be<br />
aware of that sort of thing.<br />
Carol: Okay. Were there any other areas?<br />
TRANSITION<br />
Frank: …Alpha System. We’re now just about to approach the implementation phase, so I’d<br />
appreciate your input on two options for rollout actually and how to best roll out the training<br />
program onsite.<br />
Carol: I’m in favor of a phased rollout, so we can check for faults while keeping the level of<br />
service high.<br />
Frank: Okay.<br />
Trudy: Actually I disagree. See I think for a culture change do a swift implementation and just<br />
force people into the new system. The longer that we dally, then the more resistance people can<br />
have.<br />
Mike: We need to consider the impact on shifts before we implement anything.<br />
Peter: Well, let’s not be too hasty. We need to get this right the first time. By phasing, we can<br />
sell its success to the department as we go.<br />

Trudy: …to deliver the training? I mean, we don’t want to risk leaving the training until the<br />
new system’s installed.<br />
Frank: We’ve thought of that. We’ve got a dummy testing system that is coming next week, so<br />
we can actually start to train within our individual teams next Wednesday.<br />
Peter: Who is doing the training, and what is the cost?<br />
Frank: I think that’s over to HR, isn’t it? You’re doing the training?<br />
Trudy: No, no, no. We don’t have the results. You’ll need to recruit and train people from<br />
within the business. We’re happy to develop a training calendar, and we’ll communicate that out<br />
to managers.<br />
Mike: It’s an excellent opportunity to get some system champions in place and give people the<br />
opportunity to develop their skills.<br />
Peter: We need to make sure they’re competent to train in the system. We can’t afford for<br />
people to be poorly trained once it’s live.<br />
Trudy: From the pilot we can develop a training day and train the trainers, and we’ll give them<br />
ongoing support. Now don’t forget, we’ve agreed to be the trial department, so we can either…<br />

Mike: Someone on my team had a good idea: Why don’t we allow people twenty minutes per<br />
day during their lunch break and then have clear penalties for people found using the net outside<br />
of that time?<br />
Peter: How would we monitor that?<br />
Trudy: I just say we need to make sure that people are motivated and if it’s too harsh a penalty<br />
then people are just going to maybe misuse the system even more.<br />
Carol: Well, okay. What other ideas have we got?<br />
Peter: We could put a stop it all together and only allow people access to our own intranet<br />
system.<br />
Trudy: See, now you see that’s all very well but we need to keep people motivated and some<br />
people use the internet for work.<br />
Mike: If all we do is take away from them, they’ll be ruptures on the shop floor. We don’t want<br />
to be perceived as just taking away all of their planning.<br />

Peter: If they’re planning to be involved in an actual cycle ride, I’m happy to take that roll<br />
along – fly the flag!<br />
Carol: We could. Thanks Peter. Okay, are there any further items to cover in any other<br />
business?<br />
Everyone: No. Not from me.<br />
Carol: Okay. On that note, let’s summarize the actions and close the meeting. Our next<br />
meeting is in two weeks’ time, eighteenth of October, same time and place.<br />
Everyone: Great!</p>
