are Native American team mascots in American Schools and Sports teams honoring Native American Peoples?

Decide where  you sit on the choice of “the purpose of schools is to maintain society” and express that decision clearly.

Individual Written Paper (20 Points)

In a written response of a  minimum of 1000 words, you are going to examine the current discussion regarding Public/Private/Charter ED Battle. I have provided you with some readings to make sure you understand what a charter school is.  If you need additional information on private schools or where we are with public education, please let me know and I will provide that as well.

There are beliefs about each of these educational systems and people definitely have an “opinion” about which one is “best”.  Opinions are nice, but we are are learning to express our opinions on what we read and what we learn.  Your opinion cannot be based solely upon your experience with education.

Address each of the following sections comprehensively and completely:

Section 1/Interpretation of Perspectives:

· What would Jefferson, Washington, Dewey, Mann, DuBois, Franklin (pick 3) say about the choices in educational “types” of schooling (public, private, charter). Be specific (use quotes) as to what and why they would have a particular opinion. An example of what NOT to write: ” I think Jefferson would’ve supported public schools today.” There is no reason (why) or explanation (what).

· What other course content supports your written explanation? How is your understanding connected to the various ideas of the course?

Section 2/Interpretation of Contemporary Writing: 

· Decide where  you sit on the choice of “the purpose of schools is to maintain society” and express that decision clearly. Revisit Module 1 if necessary.

· If educating children is about the “maintenance” or “progression” of society, which schooling choice would be best to “maintain” and which would be best for “progress”?

· Who benefits from this choice? Who suffers? (as evidenced by what)

· What other course content supports your written explanation? How is your understanding connected to the various ideas of the course?

Section 3/Comparison of Historical Authors:

· As we look forward beyond the pandemic and returning to a society that has clear expectations for schools, what do you think will happen with this battle? What do you think the expectations for schools are (as evidenced by what)? What would your educational thinkers from Section 1 say? How will things change in education moving forward post-pandemic?

What are 2 barriers you experience when you are trying to engage in effective verbal communication?

Communication Skills

Instructions:

What are the benefits of employee monitoring? What are the downside consequences?

Workplace Spying

Investment banking company Goldman Sachs flags employee e-mails that contain inappropriate “swear” words. Bank of America’s call centers track employee movements. Other companies check their employees’ browser histories, log their keystrokes for productivity checks, and pinpoint their locations. In fact, Boston-based Sociometric Solutions provides companies with employee ID badges fitted with microphones, location sensors, and accelerometers (to track the motions of employees). How is it that employers can track employees in this way? Moreover, what are the consequences of employee monitoring?

In general, it is legal for a company to monitor the usage of its own property, including equipment, computers, laptops, and cellphones. Only two states, Connecticut and Delaware, require employers to notify employees that their e-mail is being monitored. Professional lawyers suggest a clear and reasonable monitoring policy that is linked to a firm’s mission and goals. However, regardless of the legality, many feel that workplace monitoring has gone too far.

Some say that this is the case at United Parcel Service (UPS). The company claims to save millions of dollars each year by using a computer analysis program that guides drivers to avoid time-and-fuel wasting left turns and even steers them to drive past a stop and come back later if it is more efficient. The “telematics” tracking system involves putting sensors on the trucks that report everything from an open door to a buckled (or unbuckled) seatbelt. With over 200 sensors on each delivery truck, the data is fed in real time to a supervisor. At the end of each day, the data are sent to a central data center where computers crunch the data. However, reports abound of stressed UPS drivers being called to account for their every movement.

UPS drivers allege “metrics-based harassment,” including supervisors posting printouts of drivers’ data every day to keep the pressure on for better efficiency. The drivers also note potential safety hazards from such monitoring, such as when workers use tricks to keep up—like sitting on top of already-fastened seat belts to save time. Inevitably, drivers end up over their allotted times by at least an hour or two due to traffic or other holdups. The real concern for UPS safety, however, may be the handful of trainees who come in as much as two hours under. As one UPS supervisor stated in an interview with Harpers Magazine, “…there’s no way drivers could be beating their time quotes by that much without sprinting the entire day and recklessly cutting corners on safety.” She pointed to the telematics as the source of the pressure, “It’s like when they ship animals. But this is a mental whip.”

Questions for Discussion

1. What are the benefits of employee monitoring? What are the downside consequences?

2. Do you consider any of the company practices reported in this case to be ethically questionable? Which ones and why?

3. What is the correct balance of monitoring of, and discretion for, employees? When does workplace spying cross the line?

4. Should companies place this much stress on their employees?

5. Is this an example of dehumanizing employees?

6. Do you think workplace monitoring can be an effective part of an employee engagement program?

Analyze how the interests and values of all stakeholders may compromise for a greater good

In an 10 to 12-page double-spaced paper, (including title and reference pages, and APA formatted) provide a set of recommendations that would position the Park ecosystem for the long run. You will argue for a course of action grounded in citizenship principles; that is, solving the problem/opportunity from a big picture standpoint. You will pay special attention to the following:

Analyze how issues have evolved and how to address them, 6

·  Analyze how the interests and values of all stakeholders may compromise for a greater good,

·  Argue for a course of action that takes into consideration the particular environment of the Park

and evaluate its impact on the overall ecosystem’s future. The course of action may recommend a new forest practices model, manage the hydrological impacts, expand protected zones, etc…

Your paper should include three major sections.

1. Introduction: introduce the problem opportunity to your readers and your suggested course of action.

2. Analysis and suggestions: this is where you show your skill and ability to solve problems and capitalize on opportunities. You will take a global citizen approach to analyze the situation and make recommendations for the Park’s ecosystem. You are to argue for your solution from a global citizenship standpoint by addressing the details of the situation identified in the case study. You should emphasize the three areas identified in the instructions by the above bullet points.

3. Conclusion: conclude your paper by summarizing the problem/opportunity and your recommendations and tell your readers, briefly, how and why your solution would address the Park’s needs.
