Assignment

Question I

Briefly describe the necessary steps to take in establishing an emergency plan.

Question II

Identify places in society where equal gender roles exist. Are they in certain kinds of families? Are they in certain kinds of workplaces? Where are equal gender roles least likely to exist?

Question III

Many hotel companies have a family of brands, each offering a different level of amenities and services. This is an attempt to reach more consumers and market segments, rather than limiting to only one particular market segment.

For the discussion this week, choose one particular family of hotels (there are many parent companies) and identify a specific brand within that hotel company. Examples of brands include Hampton Inn or Waldorf Astoria (Hilton family), The Ritz Carlton or Westin (Marriott Bonvoy), Quality Inn or EconoLodge (Choice Hotels), etc.

Based on what you are able to learn about that particular brand from their website and locations, identify their particular target market. This could include business/leisure travelers, upstairs versus downstairs, long term versus short term, etc. Explain why you came to that conclusion.

What particular amenities or brands do you look for when you are traveling? Does it change if it is for business, military, or leisure?

Finally, if you were to begin a career in the hotel industry, would you choose to begin in a full service hotel or a limited service hotel and why would that particular choice support your career goals better?

Question IV

Given the following scenarios let discuss as a team what we think the probable injury is, what steps we should take to treat this injury based on our readings and videos, and any possible complications we might encounter during treatment.

Each of these events will require different approaches.

Lets have a discussion about each of these events.

A. We are at an equestrian competition and a young rider has been thrown from their horse in the middle of an oxer jump.
B. We are at a gymnastics competition and during their vault routine the gymnast landed improperly after their dismount.
C. We are at a wrestling match and an attempted takedown goes terribly wrong.
D. We are at the local skate park and a skater fails at their attempt to skate a cradle.
E. We are at a rugby match and the scrum collapses.

The initial post does NOT have to have all of the answers. Use your resources and start the conversation. Continue the posts with SUPPORTED ideas or challenges we might face in these situations.

Question V

Class- Guidance in early childhood

Part 1: Write a guidance philosophy statement stating your beliefs about the goals of guidance and how to support those goals in a classroom setting. Support with at least one reference.

Part 2: Identify 3 specific resources that you would recommend to a parent, caregiver or childcare provider about guiding behavior in young children. Give a brief description of the resource and tell why you chose the resource. Do not forget to include a full reference for each resource at the end of your post (a URL address is not a sufficient reference).

Question VI

Gifted children are those who display extremely high cognitive, academic and/ or performance achievement skills. A child who is gifted may be identified in these areas: high general intellect, creativity, leadership, visual and performing arts, and/ or, emotional and social characteristics. Children who are identified will also receive some form of differentiated instruction plan as required under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

Some school districts may call this an Individual Education Plan. (This education plan is not to be confused with IEP's mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA).) Please visit the link below and answer then answer the following questions:

A. Based on your reading, what means do school districts use to help identify gifted children?
B. What (if any) differentiated education services do you think are available to gifted children?
C. In your opinion, should gifted children receive special/ differentiated education services? Why? Why Not?

Question VII

- Goleman developed a set of six leadership styles to be used by leaders in different situations. Of the six styles (Table 4.2), discuss one example of when you have used at least one of the styles in an organizational setting. Explain why you chose that style for that situation. You must use the terms and concepts from our chapter reading this week.

Question VIII

We will reflect back

1. What did you find useful expanding your understanding of the business continuity
2. What questions arose for you?
3. What are you taking away that you can incorporate into your career?

Question IX

When our Founding Fathers drafted the First Amendment, they obviously could not imagine how the ways in which we communicate and share information would change. One of the most debated topics is the First Amendment. Many people do not understand what is or is not protected under the First Amendment.

What does the First Amendment mean to you and how do you think it applies to social media use?

Question X

Tedd Petterson is a 43-year-old husband, father, and a proud gun owner who has multiple handguns, shotguns, and two automatic weapons. (In this case, an automatic weapon is defined as a firearm that continuously fires so long as the user presses the trigger and there is ammunition in the gun.) Tedd has no criminal record. When he was 16 years old, he lost both parents in a tragic car accident. Based on such, he had a mental breakdown resulting in a year-long institutionalization. Tedd lives in the fictitious state of Varneyland, where he works as a College Professor and is the Head Coach of the Rifle Team at the university.

On a sunny morning in a neighboring state, a man with a history of mental illness entered an elementary school and killed 3 teachers and 10 students with an automatic assault rifle. In response to this shooting, many states across the country, including Varneyland, passed legislation requiring the registration of all automatic weapons. As part of the registration process, those seeking to register their automatic weapons are required to submit to a mental health background check.

In filling out the application to register his automatic weapon, Tedd revealed his prior institutionalization, but also stated that he has not had any mental health issues since he was a teenager. When the State of Varneyland conducts Tedd's mental health background check, it uncovers that Tedd had a diagnosis of major depression with suicidal tendencies. Tedd's mental health records also reveal a history of self-harm.

Based on the review of Tedd's mental health records, Varneyland denies Tedd's application to register his automatic weapons and sends Tedd a letter demanding that he forfeit his automatic weapons or risk criminal and civil penalties. Because Tedd refuses to hand over his automatic weapons, the state police arrest him and charge him with possession of an unregistered automatic weapon (a felony crime under Varneyland law).

At his criminal trial, Tedd argues that the registration requirements and his subsequent arrest are violations of his Second Amendment rights. He presents a letter from his doctor stating that he currently has no mental health issues.

Question XI

1. Compare and contrast licensure, certification and accreditation.
2. Why is voluntary accreditation so important

Question XII

As the United States - and the rest of the world - struggles to contain cases of COVID-19 and state governments continue to tighten restrictions, the discussion of mandating vaccination lingers. Based on what you have learned and what you know about the topic, discuss some of the legal and ethical implications surrounding the mandate of vaccination for children and adults, as well as employers mandating vaccines. Then, take a stance as to whether or not you believe that COVID-19 mandatory vaccines are legally and ethically permissible.
