Research a case that involved the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
In a well-organized, scholarly response please outline the case and share the verdict. Based on the reading assignments, module content, and your additional research, do you agree with the final outcome of the case? Why or why not?

Chapter 3 – discussion (200-400 words)
Chapter three focuses on the five approaches to studying leadership. At the end of the chapter, on page 97, there is a section titled ‘Cultural

Connections: Paternalistic Leadership’. I would like you to read this section and think about the different ways that culture may impact an

individual’s preference toward paternalistic leadership. Further, consider how cultural norms prohibit a paternalistic approach to leadership. In

drafting your response, and your response to a classmate, please consider sub-cultures, age, gender, race, and other demographic variables.

Examination Questions
Answer the questions below according to the instructions given. Please note that responses to BOTH questions must be included in the same submission in order for your examination to be graded; otherwise, it will be returned to you for revision.
1. Write a composition using one of the topics listed below. Your composition needs to be three to five paragraphs long. It must contain an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.
• Argue for or against the limitation of speed limits.
• Explain why a certain sport is your favorite.
• Compare and contrast driving in the winter and driving in the summer.
• Analyze the best way to buy a car, mow a lawn, or prepare a meal.
• Describe a memorable day in your life.
2. Write a letter of complaint. Follow the rules for a formal letter, and use the full-block style. The complaint may be about anything you wish (such as malfunctioning equipment, poor building maintenance, or disruptive noises from a nearby business). You can base your letter on a true experience, or you can make up all the details you need.
Please note that a form letter or a template cannot be used in constructing your response to question 2. When a form letter or template is used, you are giving little to no thought to wording or formatting, and you are not actually creating your own complaint; you are simply filling in the blanks of someone else’s work. For this reason, a grade of 1% will be issued if a form letter or template is used.
Checklist
Ask yourself these questions after you answer the questions for your exam.
• Is my composition three to five paragraphs long? (It must include an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.)
• Did I select a topic for my composition from the list given in the instructions?
• Did I fully expand on the topic I selected for my composition? (Example: If you selected to describe a memorable day, you should only describe ONE day.)
• Does my letter include a complaint?
• Did I include all parts of a business letter? (This includes a signature! You can use a different font to indicate your signature.)
• Is my letter written in full-block style?
• Did I answer both questions on my own, without help from the internet?
• Are both answers saved in one document?
• Is my work saved as a Microsoft Word document or in Rich Text Format?
If you answered NO to any of these questions, please go back and make the needed changes before submitting your work.
If you answered YES to all of the questions, you are ready to submit your work for grading!

Publishing articles is the way that academics participate in and contribute to formal discussions on a given topic. In order to become a full

participant, you need to learn what is already happening in that discussion and then offer your own input using a combination of evidence from

both primary and secondary sources. Go beyond summary as well as the obvious in order to make a case for something. Fiction writers, especially

those that write dystopian literature, are frequently commenting on or criticizing something happening in society, but because they are putting

this discussion into a fictional world, it may not be clear what precisely they are trying to draw attention to in the real world.
In her essay, Susan G. Lea articulates what she beleives Lowry is commenting on in The Giver . Is Lea right about what Lowry is interested in?

In a five paragraph essay, you will answer the question posed in “Seeing Beyond Sameness: Using The Giver To Challenge Colorblind Ideology”” and

apply it to Lowry’s second novel, Gathering Blue: “What does the secondary world that Lowry has created encourage us to reassess in our own real

world?” (Lea 53).Your essay must include an introduction (with argumentative thesis), three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. It must also

contain at least three quotes from the primary text and two quotes from the secondary text (with in-text citations). The paper must end in a

correctly formatted Works Cited Page, and the entire paper must be written in MLA format.

Ethics
Author Peggy Hutchison writes: “…extensive obstacles to friendship exist in families, communities, and services. As a result of these obstacles, people

interviewed in this study reported knowing about very few real friendships which exist between people in their communities with handicaps and other

citizens. This finding that the majority of people with handicaps still have few or no non-disabled friends is consistent with other findings”

(Hutchison, 2010).

After viewing the film, Rory O’Shea Was Here, and evaluating Hutchinson’s idea (both in the film and in your experience), please answer the following

in a post of at least 250 words. Be sure to draw upon the issues raised in the film and your reading materials to answer the following:
•In what ways might it be possible for persons who are differently abled to enjoy deep and meaningful friendships compared with those outside of the

community? What are the challenges?
•What are some of the special considerations for having friendships with persons who are differently abled?
•What is your own experience of friendships with persons who are differently abled?

Evaluation Criteria
Your initial post should be at least 250 words and must substantively integrate the assigned readings from the module with proper APA style formatting.

ASSIGNMENT
In order to continue designing the employee training program you are developing, you will create a digital or PowerPoint case study of a

national or international company in your field. You will research the target company’s training program online and design a 10-15 slide digital

or PowerPoint presentation to present your findings to your board of directors.
DELIVERABLES
For Project 2, you will submit a professionally-designed presentation for the company’s board of directors which that includes a:
• COVER SLIDE
Your name, report title, date
• INTRODUCTION
Summarize the need for developing a formal training for your company. The introduction also must provide the name and location of the company

whose training program was assessed for this project. Make sure to include URL if located online.
.
• CASE STUDY
Through online research, identify a company that publishes extensive information on their training/professional development program. Please

remember that companies may call their training programs different names (ex.: professional development, knowledge management, leadership

programs, etc.). In this section of the project, include:
• The name and web address of the company;
• The name of the training program;
• A summary of the purpose and target audience of the training program;
• Do NOT copy and paste from the company’s website. You must summarize the information in your own words;
• How much money is invested in training?
• Training program learning outcomes/goals/topics (What are the training topics? What are the goal knowledge/skills?)
• How is the training delivered (online, face-to-face, CD/DVD, or other method)?
• Who designs and delivers the trainings (an in-house trainer, outside company, or consultant)?
• When do the employees go through the training (during or after work)? Are they compensated?
• Is diversity of the learners/employees addressed in the training program? If yes, how?
• Is employee motivation addressed or promoted? If yes, how?
• What role does technology play in the trainings?
• Any other information relevant to training that you find in your research of this company
• CONCLUSION
In the conclusion, please identify 2-3 strengths and 2-3 weaknesses of the training program you analyzed. Conclude with a discussion of what you

learned from the case study (best practices) that you could apply to the training you are developing.

• REFERENCES
Properly cite all sources using APA style. Citation Machine is available free of charge for your assistance in creating the bibliography at:

http://citationmachine.net

Create an APA style paper, comparing and contrasting any pair from among these formal quality improvement programs: Joseph Juran’s Trilogy program,

Edward Deming’s Quality program, Six Sigma, and Philip Crosby’s Quality is Free book. Your compare and contrast paper should include the following

factors:

The main premise of the program
Key requirements for successful implementation
Initial steps to implement it

• Locate six articles on a research topic of your interest—two quantitative research articles, two qualitative research articles, and two mixed

methods research articles—published in peer-reviewed journals.
• Prepare an annotated bibliography that includes the following:
o A one-paragraph introduction that provides context for why you selected the research articles you did.
o A reference list entry in APA Style for each of the six articles that follows proper formatting. Follow each reference list entry with a

three-paragraph annotation that includes:
 A summary
 An analysis
 An application as illustrated in this example
o A one-paragraph conclusion that presents a synthesis of the six articles.
• Format your annotated bibliography in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced. A separate References list page is not needed for this

assignment.
Submit your Annotated Bibliography.

1. The final assignment is one piece. It should contain a brief introduction explaining your rationale for the selection of articles, annotated

bibliography of six articles of your choice, on a subject of your interest, and a conclusion that presents a synthesis of the articles.

2. The articles should be DIFFERENT from the ones used in the previous assignments in week 6 and week 8 – you have already received credit for

them.

3. You should include in your review two studies of each type – two qualitative, two quantitative, and two mixed methods research studies. Note

that the studies should be empirical – not literature reviews or theoretical essays.

4. Clearly list the type of article (using a subheading) and then identify the specific method used that makes the study qualitative,

quantitative, or mixed methods research.

For quantitative, list whether it is a survey, correlational, causal comparative, experimental, etc. type study.
For qualitative, specify whether it is a case study, ethnography, phenomenology, narrative study, grounded theory, action research, etc.
For mixed methods, specify either the purpose: triangulation, complementarity, development, initiation, and expansion; or, the strategy:

concurrent or sequential. If unable to find it explicitly stated in the MMR study, make the most informed guess possible.
For example:
Quantitative article one: A Survey research
Quantitative article two: An Experimental Study
Qualitative article one: A Case Study
Qualitative article two: A Phenomenological Study
Mixed Methods article one: Triangulation
Mixed Methods article two: Sequential

5. Make sure you do not mix methodological approaches, assumptions and criteria. Some of you made this mistake in your week 6 and 8 assignments

– discussing quantitative elements in the context of a qualitative study and vice versa.

6. In the analytical section, include at a minimum what the research design is, what evidence you find that this is exactly the type of research

design claimed, and what were the strengths and limitations of the application of that design. Comments on research questions,

theoretical/conceptual framework, and sampling would be also very beneficial.

7. Make sure you clearly outline – with new paragraphs and even with subheadings – the three parts of each annotated bibliographical entry –

summary, analysis/critique, and application.
