Why do demagogues win, why do they come to power as they are doing?

  On January 6, 2021, Americans came perilously close to losing its democracy and the freedoms that have always defined what America is. On that day, a determined band of extremists, including White Nationalists of various stripes, fascistic and violence prone groups like Proud Boys, motivated and incited by the president of the United States (and many members of Congress intent on stealing the election), surged into the Capitol Building, some of them waving a Confederate flag, one wearing a t-shirt with the word Auschwitz displayed, some determined to find Vice-President Mike Pence for the purpose of executing him. There can be no doubt that this was a mob intent on using violence to deny the will of the American people, who had voted to make Joe Biden the next president. There can be no doubt that the main motivation of this mob was not to defend the freedoms of the United States, but rather to abolish them. Not to protect liberty, but to subvert it. Not to protect the Constitution but to revoke it, not to build an inclusive America but to exclude people of color and certain faiths. Not to demand justice, but to violently rebuke it. Not to protect the right to vote, but to repress it. Not to honor the result of the election, called the fairest in US history by many authorities, but to repudiate it. Not to transfer power peacefully, the hallmark of freedom and democracy, but to retain it for a completely corrupt president who had just lost the election—both the popular and the electoral vote.  
Why do demagogues win, why do they come to power as they are doing? Who supports them and why? What role do media play? What role is played by the digital economy that is disrupting everyday life? What about traditional jobs, will they be replaced? We don’t even have the tools to help re-integrate those working in the old economies into the new.

Determine which one of the following OLMs is suitable for replacing the identified OLMs that hinder organizational learning as a corrective action to facilitate the transition from individual to organizational learning: Off-line/Internal, Online/Internal, Off-line/External, or Online/External.

 
Overview
Suppose that your organization, or an organization that you are familiar with, is dealing with a major issue in transitioning individual learning (such as sharing knowledge, training programs, working as a team, experiences, procedures, and processes) into organizational learning. The chief executive officer (CEO) has asked you, as the vice president of human resources, to assist with the issue and to help the organization transition its culture to this new way of learning. Before you provide any recommendations to address the issue, you must first research the root of the problem and the resistance to this transition.
Note: You may make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment. In your original work, you may use aspects of existing processes from either your current or former place of employment. However, you must remove any and all identifying information that would enable someone to discern the organization(s)that you have used.
Instructions:

Assess the organization’s culture as it relates to shared knowledge, and then specify the significant issue (or issues) that you discovered with the culture.
Determine the disconnect you observed between culture and organizational learning using three?of the five?mystifications. Support your response with at least one?example of each selected mystification within the organization.
Present your opinion on the current Organizational Learning Mechanisms (OLMs) that hinder organizational learning. Support your response with one?example of a training or learning initiative (for example, sharing knowledge, training programs, working as a team, experiences, procedures, processes) and the outcome when it was applied to the organization.
Determine which one of the following OLMs is suitable for replacing the identified OLMs that hinder organizational learning as a corrective action to facilitate the transition from individual to organizational learning: Off-line/Internal, Online/Internal, Off-line/External, or Online/External. Justify your selection.
Evaluate the norms of the organization’s learning culture to determine the source or sources that currently prevent productive learning by applying two of the following norms: inquiry, issue orientation, transparency, integrity, or accountability. Provide at least one example of each of the selected norms’ manifestations within the organization in your evaluation.
Use at least five quality academic references in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

Define the highlighted terms in your own words. erythema and alopecia

Case Study Scenario
The internist recommends a dermatology workup for a suspected SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) in her 40-year-old female patient. The patient presents symptoms, including erythema rash across her cheeks and nose, photosensitivity resulting in a raised rash in sun-exposed areas, patches of alopecia, and pain and stiffness in her joints. The dermatologist examines the patient and orders exfoliative cytology and fungal scrapings to rule out other sources of the rash. Her internist had already placed the patient on oral anti-inflammatory medication for joint pain. The dermatologist orders corticosteroid cream for the rash. The patient is advised to use sunscreen and make a follow-up appointment for the results of the biopsy.

What pathological condition does the internist think this patient might have? Look this condition up in a reference source, and include a short description of it. SLE is an autoimmune disease. Use a reference source to look up the name of another autoimmune disease. 
Define the highlighted terms in your own words. erythema and alopecia (4 points)
What diagnostic tests did the dermatologist perform? Describe them in your own words. Why were they important in helping the dermatologist make a diagnosis?
