“In June 2015, Pioneer Hotel, Inc. in Laughlin, Nevada agreed to pay $150,000 and furnish other relief to settle a national origin and color discrimination lawsuit filed by the EEOC. The EEOC charged that a class of Latino and/or brown-skinned workers was subjected to a barrage of highly offensive and derogatory comments about their national origin and/or skin color since at least 2006. Housekeeping and security department staffers in particular were constantly the targets of slurs by several supervisors and co-workers. In addition, the EEOC asserted that Latino/brown-skinned workers were told not to speak Spanish during their break times. Pioneer failed to stop and rectify the harassment and discrimination despite repeated complaints by the Latino/brown-skinned workers. Pioneer entered into a four-year consent decree that prohibits Pioneer from creating, facilitating, or permitting a hostile work environment for employees who are Latino or darker-skinned. Additionally, the hotel agreed to hire an outside equal employment opportunity consultant to ensure that the company implements effective policies, procedures, and training for all employees to prevent discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Pioneer management will receive additional training on its responsibilities under Title VII and will be required to immediately report complaints to the human resources department, create a centralized system to track complaints, and be held accountable for failing to take appropriate action. Notice of consent decree will be visibly posted at the hotel” EEOC v. Pioneer Hotel, Inc. d/b/a Pioneer Hotel and Gambling Hall, Case No. 2:11-cv-01588-LRH-GWF (D. Nev. settlement June 18, 2015).

The Color Discrimination Case Study 

What do you think would be a good way to study group leadership dynamics? What aspects of groups

Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to have students evaluate sociological research design in
terms of validity, reliability, and appropriate research methodology by identifying flaws and proposing
solutions to those flaws. Students will also demonstrate their sociological understanding of groups and
leadership.

Background:
In this section, we present the results of a rather poorly designed sociology study that investigated
group leadership dynamics. The study suffered from significant methodological flaws, limiting the
reliability and generalizability of the findings. The researcher chose a small convenience sample from
personal friends. The sample had 8 women and 3 men. Participants were given a brief questionnaire
with open-ended questions and no survey. None of the participants was a group leader themselves.
Each participant defined “group” and “leadership” according to their own personal understanding of the
terms. Despite these limitations, the study reported some preliminary observations, which should be
interpreted with caution.
1. Group Leadership Styles The study explored different leadership styles observed within groups.
Based on self-report questionnaires, participants reported a mix of authoritarian, democratic,
and laissez-faire leadership styles in their groups. No definitions of these leadership styles were
provided to participants.
2. Communication Patterns Participants provided anecdotal evidence of various communication
patterns within their groups. Some groups reported open and effective communication,
fostering collaboration and decision-making. Conversely, others mentioned challenges with
communication, such as dominance of certain members or lack of participation. (Anecdotal
evidence is personal stories that are collected because they seem interesting and related to the
topic.)
3. Group Cohesion The study assessed group cohesion by asking participants to describe their
perceived sense of unity and cooperation within their groups. The results indicated a range of
experiences, with some groups reporting high levels of cohesion and others reporting low levels.
4. Impact of Leadership on Group Performance Participants were asked about the perceived
impact of leadership on group performance. While some participants believed that effective
leadership positively influenced group outcomes, others reported no significant relationship
between leadership and performance. There was no standardized measurement of
performance.
5. Gender and Leadership The study explored the potential influence of gender on leadership
dynamics within the groups. participants provided subjective accounts of gender-related
experiences in the workplace, including stereotypes and biases they think might impact
leadership roles.
Overall, the results of this study provide only preliminary and inconclusive insights into group leadership
dynamics. Future research with improved methodological rigor is necessary to deepen our
understanding of group leadership and its impact on various outcomes.

Task:
In at least 750 words, address all the following in essay format:
1. Identify 3 flaws in the research design that might impact validity, reliability, and generalizability of the
research outcomes. Explain why they are flaws. Define all terms and concepts.
2. For each of the flaws identified in the first question, describe how the research design could be
improved to address and eliminate that flaw.
3. What do you think would be a good way to study group leadership dynamics? What aspects of groups
and leadership do you think are the most important to study? What specific research methodologies
would you choose?

and leadership do you think are the most important to study? What specific research methodologies would you choose?

Hi, students!
Your first writing assignment will be a Critical Annotated Bibliography, which will require you to locate five (5) scholarly sources and analyze them. You will choose a research topic to focus on in your papers this semester. This discussion will get you started.

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

· Watch the 
video, “How to Read and Comprehend Scientific Research Articles.”  The video is located in the Learning Resources Section of the Content for this week.  This video shows you how to break down one kind of scholarly article to understand it. (Please note that you might find many kinds of research articles. You can find out more about identifying different types of scholarly articles by visiting the links, “Identify Scholarly Articles” and “Different Types of Scholarly Sources” in Week 1 Content/Learning Resources.) 

· Review the “Template for Taking Notes on Research Articles.” 
· Read “Searching Basics” from the UMGC Library to learn how to get started on your own research.
· Optional for this task: Watch Library Tutorials #1 and #2. They’ll help you in your search as well. 

Then, respond to this discussion topic by answering the following questions.

1. What research topic do you think that you will focus upon for this semester’s work? Why? Answer in one or two sentences.
2. In your opinion, what is the most important step to take when reading research articles? Answer in one or two sentences.
3. After reading “Searching Basics” and/or watching the first two library tutorials, find one (1) article on your chosen research topic that review and give the findings of a research study.  In responding to this discussion topic, give the author(s), the title of the article, and a brief one- or two-sentence description of the research study and its findings. 
(The activity in this last task will help you get started on your Critical Annotated Bibliography, which is Writing Assignment #1.)
4. Now take a moment to reflect on one classmate’s chosen topic (refer to #2). Respond to his or her thread and write one to two sentences sharing your thoughts on his or her topic.

Week 4 below to show assignment and grading from professor.
       
Simply Lemonade- A Lemonade that has been reported to taste   more like lime and have a tartier taste.  (“Taste   Test: Ready-To-Drink Lemonade”, 2011).
Our company’s lemonade is   made with fresh lemons and other fruity flavors for a fresh healthy lemonade.
 
Minute Maid- This lemonade   was reported to be perfectly blended but were still reported as bland.
(“Taste   Test: Ready-To-Drink Lemonade”, 2011).
Our company blends our   fresh lemonade with other fruity flavors for a nice sour taste added with vitamins   for an added health boost.
 
Natalie’s Hand-Crafted-   Reported as sweet but doesn’t seem fresh.
(“Taste   Test: Ready-To-Drink Lemonade”, 2011).
The above designates   the above brands’ taste weaknesses and can be significant. But, the Team must also report its   nutritional and ingredient strengths and weaknesses as compared to Super   Flight.
0.800
Our company prides itself   with its fresh lemonade and fruit juice blend that is carbonated giving it   that little extra fresh crispy taste. 
This hints at Super Flight’s   positioning in terms feature and benefits, value added and competitive   edge. However once again, I refer the   Team back to Part 2 to understand how this positioning can be strengthened to   more clearly differentiate the brand from the competition. 

Define the pricing strategy in no more than 90 words      that you will use for the introduction of the product.

  
We believe that the best   pricing strategy for our lemonade at launch to be penetration pricing. With   penetration pricing, prices will start low with little profit margins to   attract new customers and gain market share value. This should in turn raise   awareness of our new lemonade and raise sales volume, while also creating   lower production costs and higher inventory turnover due to the increase of   sale and production.
This makes good sense. 
The considerations can be this: 
If the Team is convinced the product   is addressing an unmet need for which there is no direct competition and for   which robust demand is anticipated, then a skimming pricing strategy is   advisable. 
However, the Team has determined the   product will be introduced into a competitive marketplace wherein a   penetration pricing strategy that aims price at the middle of the market can   be implemented to encourage trial and brand-switching.

Discuss in no more than 90 words the maturity life cycle      stages of your product.

  
Stage of   Maturity Life Cycle
Discussion
 
Sales volume peak
During the maturity phase   of the Product Life Cycle sales volumes tend to peak because of product   saturation in the market.
 
Maintaining market share
During the maturity phase   competition is at its highest level in the cycle, which makes it increasingly   challenging for a company to maintain their market share.
 
Stronger product   differentiation/Improvements
Through product   differentiation, improvement or changes to the product (new mixes, flavors,   or ingredient improvements) the company can keep maintaining or slow the   decrease of their market share.
 
Decreasing   in market share
0.300
Because of the high   competition at this stage companies will start to experience a decrease in   market share. This will be followed by lower profits because of price   reduction of products to maintain competitiveness, which will also bring down   price levels.
The Team has examined the maturity PLC   stage only. Note that the maturity life cycle stages are to be discussed. 
This means the Team must examine the   introduction, growth, maturity and decline stages. 
Briefly, the discussion would look   like this:
· At introduction a product must establish brand   awareness, perhaps trial the product with key target markets and price the   product – the Super Flight Team implementing penetration pricing strategy to   encourage trial and brand switching.
· During the growth stage, the Team improves quality and   adds new flavors to enhance differentiation and maintains the price due to   healthy demand. The Team seeks increased distribution coverage and modifies   promotion to shift the promotional message from brand awareness to preference.
· At maturity, the Team may enter new geographical markets   and engage in additional product modification to further differentiate the   product line from the any emerging competition rather than compete on price. 
· In the eventuality of product decline, which can be   possible with the emergence new health and taste trends, the Team will reduce   promotional expenditures, cut back distribution and possibly reduce the   price. The product, if endangered, will   then be harvested from the product line if sales no longer justify a   marketing investment. 
The Team does discuss the maturity   stage correctly.

Describe in 90 words how you will use suppliers, agents,      or distributors to create your distribution channel.

  
We   can use wholesalers, resellers, retailers, and consultants since they already   have resources and relationships with customers and vendors to quickly bring   our product to the market. We will   even set up our own personal sales team to bring in new customers as well to   sell directly to these customers. We   can also set up an online web-store so that customers can order directly from   us online and get their orders shipped directly to them possibly by UPS since   they can deliver even to smaller locations. Another thing we can do is to advertise our lemonade with specific   sales for brand new customers -since this seems to help catch interest.
Good. The Team is planning to   implement a multi-channel distribution design; first indirect through wholesalers   and retailers. I don’t know what   “consultants” means. Super   Flight>Wholesales>Restaurants, Supermarkets, Convenience Stores>End-User.   
The Team is also establishing   customer-direct distribution channel through its website.

Teaching Strategies for Diverse Learners Essay Assignment Instructions

Overview
Classrooms are filled with students from diverse backgrounds with various ability levels. Educators need to embrace the diversity among their students through the examination of instructional strategies. This assignment will allow you to investigate strategies for teaching students with specific academic and emotional needs. You will have an opportunity to consider how all these strategies can be used at the same time to meet the needs of all students.
Instructions
For this assignment, you will Write a research-based essay that describes a plan for teaching a diverse class how to view, interpret, analyze, or represent information from a learning standard selected from your endorsement area and grade band.
· If you are pursuing the MAT in elementary education, you may select a standard from any one of the four core subject areas (English, Math, Science, Social Studies) in grades K-5.
· If you are pursuing the MAT in middle grades education, you may select a standard from your endorsement area in grades 6-8.
· If you are pursuing the MAT in secondary education, you may select a standard from your endorsement area in grades 9-12.
For example, a student in the MAT Elementary Education program might select Virginia Math Standard 3.7b – The student will estimate and use U.S customary and metric units to measure liquid volume in cups, pints, quarts, gallons, and liters.
After selecting the standard, the student will then choose an integration area (view, interpret, analyze, or represent) that can be used to teach the standard. For example, if a student chose to represent as the integration area that could be used to teach Virginia Math Standard 3.7b , then the student would explain how representation could be used to help students understand the relationship between each unit of measurement. The standard and integration area should be addressed in each section of the paper. When you identify strategies for each diverse group of students, you must apply the strategy to the standard and the integration area. For example, if you identify the strategy of independent projects for working with gifted students, you must explain how you would use this strategy in the context of teaching Virginia Math Standard 3.7b through representation.
Integration areas may be defined as follows:
· View – Providing visual support during instruction (e.g., showing images of historical events).
· Interpret – Having students explain the meaning of something (e.g., writing a story summary).
· Analyze – Having students examine something methodically and in detail (e.g., finding examples of persuasion in advertisements).
· Represent – Creating a description or portrayal of someone or something (e.g., using coins to show $0.23).
You must select a standard from the Virginia Standards of Learning for this assignment. You may not use standards from any other state. Use the provided link to access the Virginia Standards of Learning.
You will present research-based strategies for teaching your chosen standard and accompanying integration area to students from the following groups: gifted learners, struggling learners, English language learners (ELL), and students who have been impacted by trauma.
Your essay should be organized into the following sections:
1.
Instructional Overview – In this part of the essay, you will describe your class (grade level, number of students, school characteristics, etc.), the standard you have chosen to teach (copy the entire standard into the essay), and how you plan to integrate viewing, interpreting, analyzing, or representing information from the standard into your instruction. This part of the essay is an overview that will provide the background necessary to prepare readers for the detailed instructional strategies presented in subsequent sections of the essay.

2.
Gifted Learners – In this part of the essay, you will describe at least two research-based strategies for teaching gifted learners. The description of these strategies must be aligned with your chosen standard and integration area. This part of the essay should also include a brief description of gifted learners and some of the characteristics of gifted learners.

3.
Struggling Learners – In this part of the essay, you will describe at least two research-based strategies for teaching learners who struggle with academic content. The description of these strategies must be aligned with your chosen standard integration area. This part of the essay should also include a brief description of struggling learners and some of the characteristics of struggling learners.

4.
English Language Learners – In this part of the essay, you will describe at least two research-based strategies for teaching English language learners. The description of these strategies must be aligned with your chosen standard and integration area. This part of the essay should also include a brief description of English language learners and some of the characteristics of English language learners.

5.
Students Impacted by Trauma – In this part of the essay, you will describe at least two research-based strategies for teaching students impacted by trauma. The description of these strategies must be aligned with your chosen standard and integration area. This part of the essay should also include a brief description of the impact of trauma on students and some of the characteristics of students who have been impacted by trauma.

6.
Conclusion – In this part of the essay, you will summarize the strategies shared throughout the essay and discuss how a teacher might incorporate several of these strategies into one lesson through differentiation. Consider small groups, learning stations/centers, differentiated assignments, and other strategies. Use research to support your differentiation strategies.

Do you think it is ethical to give criminal defendants more legal protection than civil defendants? Why or why not?

Discussion Chapter 2: The Legal System in the United States
Two Different Trials—Two Different Results

O. J. Simpson was prosecuted criminally and sued civilly for the murder and wrongful death of victims Ron Goldman and his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. In the criminal prosecution, which came first, the US Constitution provided O. J. Simpson with the right to a fair trial (due process) and the right to remain silent (privilege against self-incrimination). Thus the burden of proof was beyond a reasonable doubt, and O. J. Simpson did not have to testify. O. J. Simpson was acquitted, or found not guilty, in the criminal trial (Linder, D., 2010). In the subsequent civil lawsuit, the burden of proof was preponderance of evidence, which is 51–49 percent, and O. J. Simpson was forced to testify. O. J. Simpson was found liable in the civil lawsuit. The jury awarded $8.5 million in
compensatory damages to Fred Goldman (Ron Goldman’s father) and his ex-wife Sharon Rufo. A few days later, the jury awarded punitive damages of $25 million to be shared between Nicole Brown Simpson’s children and Fred Goldman (Jones, T. L., 2010).

1. Do you think it is ethical to give criminal defendants more legal protection than civil defendants? Why or why not?

2. Why do you think the criminal trial of O. J. Simpson took place before the civil trial? 
Exercise: Chapter 2: The Legal System in the United States

Answer the following questions and make sure your response is 100 words or more for each.

 
1. Jerry, a law enforcement officer, pulls Juanita over for speeding. When Jerry begins writing Juanita’s traffic ticket, she starts to berate him and accuse him of racial profiling. Jerry surreptitiously reaches into his pocket and activates a tape recorder. Juanita later calls the highway patrol where Jerry works and files a false complaint against Jerry. Jerry sues Juanita for $500 in small claims court for filing the false report. He uses the tape recording as evidence. Is this a civil litigation matter or a criminal prosecution?

2. Read Johnson v. Pearce, 148 N.C.App. 199 (2001). In this case, the plaintiff sued the defendant for criminal conversation. Is this a civil litigation matter or a criminal prosecution? 
 
3. Jenna sues Max for $25,000, based on a car accident that occurs in Indiana. Jenna loses at trial and appeals to the highest state appellate court in Indiana, where she loses again. Can Jenna appeal her case to the US Supreme Court? Why or why not?

Overview

The purpose of this research proposal/presentation assignment is to provide students the opportunity to present and justify the need to study a particular research problem and present practical ways in which the proposed study should be conducted. The research proposal will be comprised of an introduction, literature review, and methodology section. This is a research proposal, NOT a traditional “research paper.” You will be proposing a research study, pretending like you are the principal investigator/researcher. You do not actually have to conduct the study; however, this assignment may serve as a springboard for your practicum/capstone courses within your program of study.

Instructions

Students will select a research topic, preferably during the first week of the course.

Research topic is: Eating Disorders in Rural Area Adolescents

Research Proposal: Introduction Assignment

Introduce the research problem and provide background information on the research problem. The introduction does not need to be lengthy. Remember to cite your content and include at least
two relevant references. Be sure to include the cover page consisting of title, author, contact information, and affiliations. The title should include the variables being studied. This could be accomplished in as few as 9 words-though more or fewer might work. Include the remaining components: Background of the Problem, Statement of the Problem, Purpose of the Study, Research Objectives, Hypothesis, and any Operational Definitions.

Research Proposal: Literature Review Assignment

This section justifies why the proposed study should be conducted based off evidence from the literature. The literature review starts with a broad focus and then narrows down. The review should justify your study idea and provide an in-depth review of the existing literature. Your Literature Review Matrix is helpful with organizing this literature review. Discuss hypotheses, methods, results, study limitations or strengths that you find in Eating Disorders in Rural Area Adolescents
