Discussion Topic Option #1 – Employee Comments on a Public Blog- 1 full page
Situation – You have learned that an employee is writing a publicly-accessible blog. The employee is using their own name, and the name of the company. In the blog the employee makes accurate and humorous comments on fellow employees – who you easily recognize from the descriptions. Some of these comments are unflattering.
In your memo, address the following questions:
1. What advice would you provide the CEO of the company? Consider in your advice – Should the CEO respond or not to the blog? Why or why not? And if so, what should blog say?
2. What actions, if any, should our CEO take against the blogger?
3. What specific actions should the company take to protect its brand?
4. Pick a specific state law and is it applicable and if so why and if not, why not?
Use a minimum of two HR/legal references to support your conclusions.
Discussion Topic Option #2 – You-Tube Employee Comments- 1 full page
Situation: Your boss comes to your office. He has just seen a YouTube video. A single person appears in the video. Although he appears in the shadows in an effort to hide his identity, the boss clearly recognizes who it is. The person names the company and makes disparaging remarks about the boss and the company. He also complains of unsafe conditions – some of which you know or strongly suspect are true. The person recently received an unfavorable performance evaluation. The boss wants to fire the employee immediately. You have attended an HR conference and learned that the NLRB has spoken on this subject.
What advice would you provide to your boss?
What information from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) said on the subject that you would include in your discussion with your boss?
What does a specific state law say on the issue?
Reminder: Use a minimum of two HR/legal references to support your conclusions.

The topic for this term paper is on the ethical question on whether and under what conditions a ‘higher purpose’ (end) can justify the means—which is commonly seen as unethical or immortal otherwise.
To help you situate the topic in some concrete contexts, you are required to read two essays, “The End Can Justify the Means—But Rarely” (by Warren G. Bovee) and “Why the end doesn’t justify the means, but the means can always justify the end” (by James Schroeder), posted on our course website. The first essay explores means and end relationship in the context of journalism, and the second essay argues, somewhat surprisingly, that the means can always justify the end, not the other way around. You need to read these two essays carefully and really digest them first, and only then can you be properly prepared for writing your own essay.
Contents Requirements:
Your essay will argue for (or against) a position about the relationship between means and end in the context of something you are familiar with (e.g., a job you had or have, a volunteer experience, being a student, being a member of a sport team at school, etc.).
You are going to argue M (means) justifies (or does not justify) E (end), or the other way around, or neither (M or E) justifies the other, and under what specific conditions. You must use concrete examples, at least two examples, to show these conditions.
The paper should appropriate ideas from the two essays above mentioned. At least one quote or paraphrase (both with page reference) from each essay. It is recommended to use more than one quote or paraphrase from each essay.
Format requirements (also serving as parts of the grading criteria):
The title of the term paper should be clear and focused.
The Introduction should be brief, avoiding irrelevant digression, and keeping in line with the title (the promised topic).
It is required that each body paragraph starts with a topic sentence. This is the sentence that captures the gist of the paragraph following it.
When a quote or a paraphrase is used, make sure it integrates into the flow of your text.
Write short and clear sentences; avoid long sentences—a sentence that is three lines long without proper punctuation marks is almost certainly unclear or inarticulate.
Avoid writing empty sentences– sentences that are tautological, which seem to say something but in fact say nothing concrete or specific. (E.g., “Human, since the childhood, was threatened by different diseases”, “Perhaps Socrates is right, and perhaps Socrates is wrong.”)
A paragraph should be consistent and coherent—i.e., the whole paragraph should stick to the promise given in the topic sentence. Do not digress or wander away.
The maximum of words for this term paper is 1000; 800 words in good quality is better than 1000 words with filling-the-blank tricks.
In arguing for your position, you can cover three or more of the following: (a) cite a principle, or/and (b) consequences, or/and (c) examples, or/and (d) consider an objection to your view and respond to that objection, or/and (e) clarify a concept when it is necessary or helpful to do so. (See Tables in the Instructions on Major Project No.2).
Early Adulthood/Middle Adulthood Primary Prevention
Part 1:
Early Adulthood: Before reading these chapters, had you thought of early adulthood as a period of aging? Why is it important for young adults to be aware of influences on biological aging?
Part 2:
Middle Adulthood: Which midlife health problem is of greatest personal concern to you? What steps can you take now to help prevent it?
In this essay you will need to demonstrate the understanding you gained in this unit of study regarding the implications of digital technology in business. You will need to engage with one of the following three provocative statements (state clearly which one you have chosen):
1.”Management decisions are better made with intuition rather than with data”
2.”Artificial intelligence makes better predictions than humans because it is unbiased”
3.”All knowledge work will soon be automated because we now have AI”
Your essay should be written in a dialectic style that will provide arguments for and against the statement and concludes with a synthesis in which you provide your own opinion and justified evaluation. As a result your analysis should have three parts:
Thesis: drawing on the concepts and materials we discussed in this course provide an informed argument for the statement of your choice.
Antithesis: drawing on the concepts and materials we discussed in this course provide an informed argument against the statement of your choice.
Synthesis: provide your own, informed and justified assessment of the topic. Regardless of whether you 1) take a position for or against, 2) demonstrate how to change the discussion in a way that sheds new light on the argument, or 3) provide a balanced appraisal of both sides, you need to argue and justify your line of reasoning.
In your analysis you are asked to utilise the conceptual toolbox with the distinctions we developed in the foundations part of the course (images of organisation, knowledge types etc), as they fit. Please note that not every distinction will be useful in making your argument; only use them where they add value to your line of reasoning.
You will be assessed on:
clarity of your line of argument (expression of thesis and antithesis) – 10 marks
your evaluation of the argument (synthesis, critical thinking, justification) – 10 marks
appropriate use of relevant distinctions from class (conceptual toolbox) in your analysis – 10 marks
the sources/materials you select to back up your analysis, the evidence you provide – 5 marks
form: word count, language, presentation and referencing, please use APA 6th referencing – 5 marks
5-8 references required

In this project, you will investigate gender and age stereotypes in magazines. Look at two widely circulated
magazines and evaluate how ads depict males and females of various ages (adolescence, early, middle, and late
adulthood). You should evaluate physical appearance, personality, and behaviors as they are depicted in the
magazine ads. You can use the attached data sheet to help organize your impressions. After completing the data
collection, write a brief report that answers the following questions. Make sure to include a literature review
concerning the importance of media influencing gender stereotypes.
Are all age groups represented in advertisements?
Who is underrepresented and overrepresented? Why do you think that is so?
Compare the various groups in terms of the characteristics you observed portrayed for each in the
advertisements. What generalizations about age and gender do these portrayals convey?
Compare your findings between the different magazines. Are your findings similar or different?
What do you conclude if they are similar? Different?
If they are different, do the differences sensibly relate to differences in the apparent purpose or style of the
magazines?
