Discuss experiences from your personal background that might account for your feelings or reactions.

Write an essay in which you complete each of the following:

Connects a personal experience to sociological concepts of power, including mention of specific theories.

· Part 1 – Describe your experience:

o Describe the event and the underlying diversity issues at play.

o Describe your opinions, feelings, actions, and what you learned from the event.

· Part 2 – Examine your experience:

o Discuss experiences from your personal background that might account for your feelings or reactions.

o Consider areas such as your ethnicity, history, upbringing, local mores, recent events, et cetera.

o Connect your experience to at least three sociological concepts and/or issues. For example, if you are writing about what if feels like to be an outsider, you could connect your discussion to the concept of power or social structure, or the broader issue of relationships between dominant and minority groups.

o Examples of other concepts you could include are: prejudice, discrimination, stereotypes, cultural pluralism, assimilation, structural mobility, social distance, and modern racism.

o Examples of theories include functional or conflict theory, Marx’s and Weber’s theories of inequality, Park’s race relations cycle, Gordon’s theory of assimilation, human capital theory, scapegoat hypothesis, and the theory of authoritarian personality.

Analyzes data to make valid sociological inferences and cites specific instances of data to support them.

o Incorporate research on the broader issue that your experience illustrates. For example, if the incident you describe involves discrimination in the workplace, research workplace discrimination and find data on the prevalence or nature of this problem. If the incident involves bullying at school, locate data on how extensive this issue is. Questions to consider include:

o Is the type of incident you describe commonplace?

o Where might this be most prevalent?

o Among what groups is it most likely to occur?

o What trends did you notice in your research? For example, does the kind of incident you experienced or observed seem to be an increasing problem, or is it declining over time?

Analyzes how laws or policies are applied to a diversity issue and cites support from scholarly sources.

o Analyze how relevant laws or policies might be applied to this situation. These may be civil or criminal laws or, perhaps, policies established in the workplace or schools.

o Consider whether any laws or policies were violated and how those laws or policies might be changed or better enforced to address the situation you describe.

o Analyzes personal characteristics or experiences that might account for feelings or reactions involving a diversity issue.

When is hearsay evidence admissible in court?

Each of your answers should be written using your own words. Do not copy and paste from your textbook or an Internet source. Ensure you cite your work and add reference(s) at the end of your journal. These should be the sources you are citing in your work. You should not need to do research from additional resources unless the question specifically asks you to do so;

Who created each work of architecture or sculpture? Who commissioned its creation?

Question 1: Monumental Architecture and Sculpture

The cultures we studied this week produced architecture and monumental sculpture, in addition to smaller works of art. Locate three examples of architecture or monumental sculpture from three different cultures listed here: India, China, Japan, Korea, or the Pacific Cultures.

First, completely identify each structure or sculpture you would like to discuss by listing its name, date, and location.

In a minimum of 3 well-developed paragraphs address the following questions:

Who created each work of architecture or sculpture? Who commissioned its creation?
What historical events or social or cultural influences affected the creation of each work?
How do the visual characteristics of each work contribute to or enhance its message or meaning?
How do the reasons these works were created compare with those of a more modern example of monumental art work, such as Mount Rushmore, the 9/11 Memorial, etc.?
Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific details about each work of architecture or monumental sculpture.

Question 2: The Function of Art Objects

Some of the art objects created by the cultures surveyed this week, whether African masks, Japanese tea bowls, or Micronesian navigational charts, served functional roles in their society. Locate three such objects, one each from the following: Asia, Africa, or the Pacific Cultures.

First, completely identify each object you would like to discuss by listing its name, date, and location.

In a minimum of 2 well-developed paragraphs discuss:

What was the function of each object at the time of its creation?
What historical events or social or cultural influences affected the creation of each work?
How do the visual characteristics of each object contribute to or enhance our understanding of its meaning?

Respond to both questions as thoroughly as possible, making sure to use information from the readings and the lectures. All responses should be in complete sentence form, using proper spelling and grammar.

Write a paper evaluating business metrics for innovation

Overview
Organizational creativity and innovation have proven to be challenging concepts to measure. There is not a particular output that indicates organizational levels of innovation. To flourish, innovation and creativity must be fostered within the organization. They must be established as cultural values in order for the organization to see the benefits.

Prompt
Write a paper evaluating business metrics for innovation. Although business metrics generally measure symptoms or outputs of an organization’s culture, we can find correlations between some business metrics and the quality of an organization’s innovation culture. Review the table shown below and answer the following questions.

Consider the metrics in the table and evaluate if each is a good measure of innovation and creativity.
Is the number of active products an indicator of innovation, or an indicator of whether the innovation is incremental or discontinuous?
Is research and development (R&D) headcount an indicator of innovation or labor efficiency?
What would it mean if any of these metrics increased over time?
Evaluate and select which company (INAGG, Inc. or AMMB, Inc.) is most likely to have a culture that supports innovation and creativity.
How might non-R&D staff time dedicated to experimenting with new products be an indicator of an innovation culture?
What are some scenarios in which having more patents would not be a good indicator of an innovation culture?
Discuss the ability, and limitations, of metrics such as the ones in the table and business intelligence (BI) to measure the ability of an organization to innovate or support employee creativity.
What are the limitations of the metrics that you think are the best indicators of innovation culture?
Could some of the limitations be avoided by using a combination of metrics?
How could business intelligence be used to evaluate limitations of metrics?
