Write a paragraph for each qu
You have viewed the videos: “Born a boy, brought up as a girl” and “The Secrets of the Wild Child.” You will need to:

1. What is your reaction to both videos? What would you have done in these situations if you were the parents?

2. Why developmental theories/principles are most relevant in these two cases?

3. How did both stories relate to the notion of nature vs. nurture?

4. What did you used to think about gender development? What do you think about it now after viewing Born a Boy, Brought up as a Girl?

5. What did you used to think about language development? What do you think about it now after viewing The Secrets of the Wild Child?

6. What did you learn as a result of these videos (in terms of how your learning relates to the course)? Therefore, saying, “I learned a lot; I learned that you can’t do that to kids” etc. are not appropriate responses.

There are seven opportunities to turn in Collections. Everyone must turn in the first one, on The Epic of Gilgamesh. Then, you must choose three more across the semester, from Collections 2-7, and turn them in by the due date, for a total of four Collections across the semester. You will not be able to submit after the due date, so make sure to follow up with the texts you’ve liked working with the most and find most interesting as you move through the course. Don’t get caught at the end of the semester with less than four Collections because you’ll get zeros for missing ones! The Collection is the summation of your experience of the text, including reading alone (notes) and class activities and discussions, and your own creative responses. I’d also like to note that you have three “late days” (total) for the Collection assignment. Just email me ahead of time and let me know you’re taking a “late” and you’ll automatically get the extension.

For Collections: The Collection is a place to bring together your experience of the text in our class. It includes the following pieces:

1)A unique and interesting title that reflects your take on the work (check your keywords from your notes!) and invites us to read your work.

2) Four items, either from your daily notes or class notes or our discussions that best reflect your interests regarding the text at hand. At least two items must be from your Daily Notes. Include them, and include a bit of further reflection on them or introduction to them, considering where you are now relative to when you were reading alone. If you choose a class discussion, be sure to both describe it and elaborate your own thoughts on it. Make sure to take notes in class, or even sketch or draw in class (totally welcome) as these notes may be useful here. You may include one item or include extra items from previous texts if you wish–particularly if you’ve skipped a post for a text and now feel that such items have relevance to your discussion of the current text. Don’t forget you may do creative portions of this! You need to demonstrate your class prep, notes, and class engagement. So, for example, for prep notes, include thoughtful and thorough notes, and discuss them further or respond to them. If your item is a class activity or discussion, include it and respond to it. An item could also be a further discussion of a notes question and/or a creative response to it or a class discussion. You may also include reflections on The Daodejing. You bring the items that bring your Collection to life.

3)A paragraph or so that describes the thought of the author: Be very clear about the main concepts you take away. Not a summary, but a distillation of the big ideas conveyed. Be thorough here–this is where you demonstrate your analysis. Creative responses welcome in this section.

4) A paragraph or so that describes how YOU think about what the authors are saying, doing. This personal response should go in depth regarding your own thought about the issues at hand. You may agree, disagree, elaborate, provide examples, extend, etc. Creative responses welcome in this section. Make sure your reflections are distinct from the discussion of the author’s ideas.

You may draw, provide relevant links, write a poem, include a photo (of your own), whatever you like to create your mini-book of your reading of the text. Just be very sure to include all the pieces.

I will be looking for the following in your posts: Thoughtful notes preparation and in-class participation (listening counts–I’ll notice that you noticed), thorough analysis and reflection with good delineation of ideas within the text and thoughtful response. I’ll also be looking for your intellectual creativity: surprise us with the ideas you bring to the post. I expect everyone to have their own readings of the texts.

There are 2 responses. Write a 100 word response for each.

Response 1:

Our ineffective leader displayed an influential role in which she’s grandfather into position without having any knowledge of the company. Confuse within the office by not being able to effectively through training. Therefore, she became intimidated by anyone who demonstrated expertise or skills. Her actions would make her look and feel some way. Training is also a degree of learning for leader and staff to gain a better understanding of company policies and procedures. This leader, in my opinion, displays a Level I because she does not want to grow. She relies on policies and regulations to control the staff. A manager who overuses punishment or misuses it creates a climate of fear in the workplace (Bateman and Snell, 2015). Since she does not feel the need to further herself into the needed skill set, the negative energy rolls onto the staff, stealing our joy and motivation. I think to some degree, and internal promotions should give to the most qualified individual rather than a best friend, family member, or just owning someone a favor. Yes, all who want to live a good life in Christ Jesus will be troubled by other people (2 Timothy 3:12). However, we still have faith that God will send an influential Servant leader to guide His sheep. Someone who will display a positive outlook for the people, staff, and self, so show respect and receiving it gracefully. No matter what position a person holds, there is still a place for honesty and trust within the workplace. Always put God first and move forward in all asked of you by any leader.

Response 2:

From the learning of the Bible words from Jesus Christ, it is an inspiration saying to respect people by immoral actions. It is essential to follow God’s commandment. Jesus declares, “Do to others as you would have them do to you” He spoke prophets on how to treat the people. It should be an everyday norm for people. It seems like in today’s society to be rumor and mean rather be kind and useful. We all, at a time, have been there one time or mistreating others. The commandment of God is hard but fair if applied. So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 7:12). We must follow the Golden Rule of God’s wisdom and self-control that teaches kindness to others who cross our path on this Christian and educational journey. In my opinion, based on the scripture of Luke 6:37-42, in the workplace, we should not try to correct people, but ourselves, which cannot happen with the grace of God. Many of the Golden rules have instilled by parenting and church assembly. We as Christian people we should think before we speak so we will not offend others by tones or words.

Similarly, we should stop and think before we act to avoid conduct we will regret. These rules, too, will ring true in the workplace. We can take these same principles and apply them within the workplace. The action of the Golden rule will be displayed for all to see when used correctly in the eyesight of God.

As a leader, you must be able to present your management plans and leadership strategies to inform stakeholders and gain buy-in. For this assignment, you’ll practice this by developing a proposal for a professional development training program. The program centers on motivational strategies and how an emotional intelligence management approach would benefit department managers.

Continue with the same organization you selected in Assignment 1. Imagine that the CEO has charged you, the task force leader, with researching emotional intelligence (EI) in order to propose a professional development program. Your proposal should detail how a new incentive program, based on an EI management approach, will foster teamwork, strengthen interpersonal relationships, enhance communication, and increase overall performance. You need to help the CEO gain approval for this initiative. Your program’s proposal must include supporting research concerning how motivational strategies enhance job satisfaction and team output. Prepare for this assignment by identifying the resources you’ll use to create your proposal.

You will need to provide at least two quality resources such as the course textbook, company website, business websites (CNBC, Bloomberg, etc.), resources from the Strayer Library, and/or outside sources. Note: Wikipedia and web-based blogs do not qualify as credible resources.

INSTRUCTIONS Create a proposal (five to seven pages) that includes the following components:

1. EI and Motivation Which of the EI building blocks would impact management’s ability to enhance employee performance and job satisfaction? Based on your research on motivational theory, describe how your task force would utilize positive or negative reinforcement to influence the members of the organization and resolve the issue. Provide examples to support your solution.

2. EI and Social Skills and Decision Making Explain how the core concepts of emotional intelligence would enhance the social skills and the decision-making efficacy of the management team.

3. Effective Teams Describe the core attributes of an effective team and the strategies you would implement to develop team dynamics that will benefit the organization.

4. Reward Systems Create an effective reward system for this organization. Determine the strategies you would incorporate to motivate your employees and influence behavior.

5. Executive Summary Prepare a one-page executive summary that you will present to the CEO in an upcoming executive meeting. Note: An executive summary is a condensed version of your full report. It should summarize briefly all the main points in concise paragraphs. It should be written clearly and should use language appropriate for the audience.
