INTRODUCTIONThis week, we take a closer look at communication, in particular in the workplace. First, we will examine how our language is closely related to the way we think and how we view the world. Then we will examine how people across cultures listen and express themselves. This has an implication in business presentations and negotiations.READING ASSIGNMENTIn addition to this week’s Resources, review your Readings from last week’s Unit.The Lewis Model Dimensions of behaviour.

This is a case that will be tried in the court of Public Opinion.Kilo Shoe Company, a United States corporation, buys clothing assembled by Crystal, LTD., a foreign company that employs children under 12 years of age. These children work nine hour days and for low pay. Crystals nation does not enforce its child labor laws limiting workdays to seven hours for children under 12. Many times the childrens income is needed by the family for basic necessities. Crystal and Kilo are aware of this.Human International Politics (HIP), an international political activist organization, discovered Kilo’s connection to Crystal, LTD. HIP plans to reveal this information to the press and on social media. Kilo hears about this proposed action by HIP. Before HIP can act, Kilo terminates its relationship with Crystal. Kilo then publicizes this action in its advertising. The companys sales and profits increase, apparently as a direct result.Has Kilo acted unethically in any way(s)? Explain using one of the ethical philosophies from the readings and facts from the scenario.From an ethical perspective, is Kilos conduct in terminating its relationship with Crystal more important than whatever its motive might be? Why or why not?
Journal Prompt — M14 — #1Please craft a discussion concerning the stakes involved for you, your family, or your community in obtaining and/or succeeding in this job, career, or project. Remember that this is a personal investigation, and the more authentic and heartfelt you can be about the risks, benefits, hopes and dreams involved for you, the more the reader will be invested in the outcome.Journal Prompt — M14 — #2Return the central question that you asked in your introduction. In the end, is this the right question for you? Could it be refined, reposed, or made more precise? Are there additional questions you’d like answers for? When you posed this question, or similar questions, to your interview subjects, did it seem like they felt it was a worthy question? Did your interview subjects offer to alter or augment or add to your questions? In this process, did you feel the question you want answered satisfactory? If something else is needed, what might that be?
(want to be perfect )Instructions – Compare data from the World Values Survey for two countries by graphing the data, constructing a bivariate table, and doing a chi-square test for a relationship between country and a different variable of your choice. First choose one of the questions highlighted in yellow in this document (file one uploaded). This will determine your dependent variable. Second, look in this data file (file two uploaded) and find the same question number. Pick two or more of the countries that have data from that question you chose from the questionnaire. Everyone must use country as their independent variable, but you are choosing which countries to include. Third, write and submit a report with the information and content specified below. Throughout your report every heading that appears in these instructions in bold must appear in your submission in the order shown here and in bold. (example uploaded)Independent Variable (IV), Country – Specify which two (or more) countries from these survey data you have chosen to compare. In a sentence or two, give a meaningful reason for choosing these countries, one that makes it a good or interesting choice to use as part of this statistical test. All of the countries I have provided data for have sample sizes that will work, so that does not need to be part of your decision.Dependent Variable (DV) – Specify the one variable from the the World Values Survey data you have chosen as your dependent variable to compare between the two countries. Give the question number and full text of the question (copy from questionnaire). In a sentence or two, give a meaningful reason for choosing this variable. Graph – Construct one graph (not two) that clearly and appropriately displays the percentages for the values of your DV for each country. These must be the percentages within the country for the values of your DV. Make sure your choice of graph type is appropriate for the levels of measurement of your variables and for displaying data for both countries. You may construct the graph using software like Excel or neatly draw it by hand. Include a title, axis labels, and any other necessary labels in order to make it clear what the graph represents.Bivariate Table – Construct a bivariate table showing the cross tabulated frequencies for each value of your IV and each value of your DV and all totals or marginals. The percentages do not have to be included in the table, but the table may help you calculate the percentages for your graph. Most of what you need for this table is prepared for you in the data file, but you will have to take that information and make some changes or additions to complete it. Chi-Square Test – Using the data in the bivariate table you constructed with the data I provided, conduct a chi-square test as indicated in the steps below. Make sure what you submit for each step below is appropriate for a chi-square test rather than any other type of test.Here is the reference list citation for the data for you to use. For the purposes of this assignment in-text citation is not required for this data set. Other sources are not needed, but if you use any you must cite them fully.Haerpfer, C., Inglehart, R., Moreno, A., Welzel, C., Kizilova, K., Diez-Medrano J., M. Lagos, P. Norris, E. Ponarin & B.

The Journal Assignment requires each student to access and search the internet for a criminal investigation topic to determine the manner in which the investigation occurred was appropriate in style scope.”Cognitive biases” that can lead to failed criminal investigations include the biased beliefs and memory limitations of eyewitnesses to the crime being investigated; investigators’ reliance on their intuition rather than reliable and adequate data that are carefully and logically analyzed; investigators’ use of simplistic “rules of thumb” that ignore the complexities and alternative scenarios presented by case evidence; and the related cognitive bias of “tunnel vision,” which focuses narrowly on a limited range of possibilities regarding the features of and suspects in a case. “Organizational traps” that can lead to failed investigations pertain to characteristics of the structure and dynamics of the law enforcement agency pursuing an investigation. Organizations tend to promote uniformity and standardization that resists change and creativity, which can restrict investigators’ options and behaviors in pursuing and analyzing evidence. Organizations also are reluctant to acknowledge mistakes and change course in major investigations that receive media attention. “Probability errors” that lead to failed investigations pertain to flawed assessments of the likelihood that a set of events is due to a particular set of causes. Related probability errors are the failure to consider coincidence in assessing links among events and computation mistakes that underestimate or overestimate the likelihood that two or more events would be connected. If all of the aforementioned factors in failed investigations are to be acknowledged and addressed, law enforcement agencies and their investigative personnel must be trained to recognize the various factors that can undermine or misdirect an investigation. Organizational checks and balances must also be devised to ensure that investigations are carefully scrutinized for flaws and oversights.
Prior to beginning work read Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 in the course text, Chapter 6 and pages 129 to 142 in Chapter 8 of the Jarman (2013) e-book, the Instructor Guidance for Week 4, and watch the ANOVA: Crash Course Statistics #33Links to an external site. and ANOVA Part 2: Dealing with Intersectional Groups: Crash Course Statistics #34Links to an external site. videos. You may also wish to review the information about inferential statistics from Week 3. In this discussion, you will evaluate a research question and determine how that question might best be analyzed. To do this, you will need to explain statistical concepts and assess assumptions, limitations, and implications associated with statistical tests.A researcher wishes to study the effect of cognitive behavior therapy on young people diagnosed with depression. Consider and discuss the following questions as you respond in 750 words.Would you recommend using a z test, a t test, or an ANOVA for the analysis? Explain your answer.What would your choice of test depend on? For the test you select, explain your design and your comparison groups.Would the hypothesis be directional or nondirectional? Would the test be one or two tailed?How would the null and alternative hypotheses be worded?
