Path 3: Human Services Management Scenario
You are working as a director of a substance abuse agency responsible for all employee training throughout the agency. There are supervisors at each job site, so you do not usually have much contact with the employment counselors who work in your department. One afternoon, one of your counselors appears at your door asking to see you. She reports to you that she suspects that Ron, her supervisor (in your department), is dating a client. She does not have proof with her, but her information is compelling. You decide to investigate whether Ron is really dating a client.

Feder Chapter 10, Why Did State Societies Develop?) In this section Feder discusses three widely-accepted anthropological/archaeological models explaining the conundrum (stated in the current buzz-phraseology): why did the 99-percent in these early states (Feder: civilizations) weve studied apparently sit still and do nothing while the one-percent captured and kept 99% of the wealth and power?

Feder discusses three models, classified into two categories: conflict and integration. Conflict: This is a Marx-based modeling that focuses on internal conflict that occurs within large-scale societies. 1. Feder cites Joseph Tainters characterization of the Conflict views focus on the rise of agriculture, which led to surplus, which led to wealth, which produced socioeconomic classes within Neolithic societies (and then new institutions and bureaucracies emerged to mediate or suppress the inevitable conflict between the haves and have-nots). 2. In the paragraph in Feder above the Conflict Models section, he cites Thomas Pattersons characterizing rulers of state societies as bullies (Tom was my Thesis advisor at Temple until he took a position at Cal-Riverside). So, a second possible dimension of conflict modeling: Bullies become possible (theoretically) when the increased size and density of a population causes social relations in a burgeoning society to become less intimate/more impersonalmost of us are more likely to take advantage of or fail to help someone we dont know or someone who we see as being Other than who we are. With this dynamic in place, some groups in larger, more complex societies who can a) gain control of some necessary resource, or b) attain a position of power (e.g., head of the military force) will be more likely to leverage that control/power to their advantage, even to the extent of feeling no compunction about visiting violence on others in the society to protect and maintain their advantageous position. Integration: Functionalist modeling (Powell, invoking sociology texts) based on the assumptions that, to maintain social order in burgeoning, more unwieldy societies, a) states evolv(e) from the need for increasingly complex integrative mechanisms in increasingly complex situations (Feder, citing Haas 1982) and that b) naturally, its the best and the brightest who elevate themselves to the top and assume leadership (Powell, describing purist Functionalist theory). 1. managerial (e.g., Wittfogel, hydraulic hypothesis (applies where irrigation is necessary for crops) (workings described, pp. 396-7). 2. external conflict (e.g., Carneiro, the mechanism of warfare, and the instruments of destruction and institutions of hierarchy associated therewith) (described, pp. 397-8). THE ASSIGNMENT: As a scholarly exercise, answer the question at the top of the page, applying it to early state formation in the Sumerian region, first using conflict modeling, and then integration modeling. Finally, explain which modeling makes more sense to you and why. REQUIREMENTS: Minimum 800 words/Maximum 1600 words.

What do you believe would be Apple’s best Corporate Diversification Strategy with respect to autonomous electric vehicles?

The Apple Car
We will take as a given that the market for autonomous (self-driving) electric vehicles represents a strong growth opportunity. With few exceptions, all of the major automobile manufacturers are working on both electric drive-trains and self-driving technologies; and new entrants like Tesla and Waymo (Google/Alphabet) are seeking to disrupt the market with their own technologies. It has long been rumored that Apple also was working on technology for a self-driving car. In April of 2016 Motor Trend published an article that pieced together the available information to try and guess what an Apple Car might look like ( https://www.motortrend.com/news/apple-car-exclusive/ ). At the time, the operating assumption was that Apple would do what it has always done and develop a vertically-integrated value chain where it controlled the design and production of both the hardware and the software. However, critics pointed out that automobile manufacturing was a lot different than making computers or smartphones and suggested that Apple would be better able to make contributions in the areas of self-driving technologies (sensors and software) and user interface. However ambitious the original plan, Apple reduced the scale of the project in 2016, but continued development efforts on what has become to be known as project Titan. Since then, Apple-watchers have tried to guess Apple’s overall strategy and exactly what Apple would introduce to the market and when a product introduction might occur. Assume that you are a corporate executive or board member advising Tim Cook, the Apple CEO. Should it pursue internal development and introduce its own Apple iCar? Should it pursue concentric diversification by purchasing an existing automobile manufacturer who can supply manufacturing expertise and power-train technology into which Apple can integrate its self-driving and infotainment technology? Or should Apple form an inter-organizational partnership (e.g. a Joint Venture or Alliance) with one or more existing automobile manufacturers to supply self-driving technology, much like it currently does with Apple CarPlay for automobile infotainment systems? As you think about this, bear in mind what core competencies and corporate resources (such as facilities and financing) Apple would bring to the effort, as well as its weaknesses and gaps in resources that would need to be addressed by whatever strategy is pursued. You might also want to consider potential synergies or “relationship-specific assets” that could be generated through a partnership between Apple and other companies. To give you a bit more background, here is one person’s opinion: https://www.bloomberg.com/gadfly/articles/2018-03-09/why-apple-should-buy-aston-martin

Create two SMART objectives that you might use when teaching members of a senior center of the importance of increased activity.

Reflect on how you would use this process in your own career. In community health, we often use the SMART format for writing both goals and objectives. The acronym SMART stands for the following: Specific Measurable/Observable Attainable for target audience within scheduled time and specified conditions Relevant and results-oriented Targeted to the learner and to the desired level of learning During the development process, the nurse must consider factors that may influence the dynamics of the intervention. These include the ages, ethnicities, education levels, languages spoken, and literacy levels of the intended audience. As nurses, we gravitate toward using the medical jargon that we are comfortable with in the teaching and learning processes. However, we must consider cultural influences beyond the lack of English proficiency that may serve as barriers to a successful education-focused intervention. Include evidence-based sources as well as your own reflections on the topic. Use APA formatting for references and in-text citations. Submit journal assignment as a Word document.

Describe the scope and importance of reading education history in the U.S. Discuss the importance of literacy in grades K-3 and its educational effects on later academic years.

Early literacy relies on appropriately preparing young children for reading. As young children are exposed to letters and sounds, they begin to build a foundation for phonemic awareness. This step is critical in preparing for the sequential order of reading instruction. Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension build off each other to provide appropriate development for literacy.Create a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation intended to be shown to elementary general education classroom teachers within a professional development setting. Address the following within your presentation:
Provide an overview of each of the five areas of reading instruction (i.e., phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension).
Describe how the brain is involved in the five areas (Big 5) of reading instruction and how the sequential order of each component is important in learning to read and comprehend text.
Identify and describe two intervention strategies, per Big 5 component, for struggling readers. At least one strategy identified, per component, should be appropriate for utilization at home.
Include presenters notes, in-text citations, and a reference slide that contains at least three scholarly sources to support this assignment.Submit your presentation and resource for families as one deliverable.While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.This assignment uses a rubric.
