The issue of leadership has been addressed in a number of your classes, so we will look at this issue from a specific I/O Psychology perspective. In an earlier chapter, we addressed the issue of diversity and stereotypes. So, in this assignment we will engage the issue of leadership and the issue of gender.
To begin, watch both of the videos below (also found within this week’s Explore section). Each shares a perspective on women in leadership and the workforce.

Having watched the video, you now have the chance to submit your own perspective. Using the perspectives shared in the videos and your textbook, provide your own analysis of gender in leadership. Specifically, your free write reflection should support to what extent you believe that there are gender differences in leadership.

Read the epitaphs of Mr. and Mrs. Purkapile from the Spoon River Anthology and answer the question that follows.
Mrs. Purkapile
HE ran away and was gone for a year.
When he came home he told me the silly story
Of being kidnapped by pirates on Lake Michigan
And kept in chains so he could not write me.
I pretended to believe it, though I knew very well
What he was doing, and that he met
The milliner, Mrs. Williams, now and then
When she went to the city to buy goods, as she said.
But a promise is a promise
And marriage is marriage,
And out of respect for my own character
I refused to be drawn into a divorce
By the scheme of a husband who had merely grown tired
Of his marital vow and duty.
Mr. Purkapile
SHE loved me.
Oh! how she loved me I never had a chance to escape
From the day she first saw me.
But then after we were married I thought
She might prove her mortality and let me out,
Or she might divorce me. But few die, none resign.
Then I ran away and was gone a year on a lark.
But she never complained. She said all would be well
That I would return. And I did return.
I told her that while taking a row in a boat
I had been captured near Van Buren Street
By pirates on Lake Michigan,
And kept in chains, so I could not write her.
She cried and kissed me, and said it was cruel,
Outrageous, inhuman! I then concluded our marriage
Was a divine dispensation
And could not be dissolved,
Except by death.
I was right.
Which best describes Mr. Purkapile’s attitude toward his wife? (10 points)

GUIDING PERSPECTIVE FOR THIS PAPER
Robert M. Baum, “Indigenous Religious Traditions†in Willard G. Oxtoby and Alan F. Segal, A Concise Introduction to World Religions. (Oxford University Press, 2007), pp. 15-17.
“All humans today, whether they are Europeans, Australian Aborigenes, or Africans, belong to the same subspecies of human being. The first anatomically modern humans, known as Homo Sapiens Sapiens appeared in Africa between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago. They began to spread outside Africa around 100,000 years ago… By 10,000 B.C., members of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens species could be found throughout the world… Western civilization can be traced back to the ancient Near East, where people in Mesopotamia and Egypt developed organized societies and created the ideas and institutions that we associate with civilization. The later Greeks and Romans, who played such a crucial role in the development of Western Civilization, where themselves nourished and influenced by these older societies in the Near East. It is appropriate, therefore, to begin our story of Western civilization in the ancient Near East with the early civilization of Mesopotamia and Egypt.â€

Reflecting on the discoveries of linguistics, genetics, paleontology, and history of art, the American missionary Robert Fischer comes to the logical conclusion on the significant role played by Africa in the origin of world religions and their basic symbols and rituals, and religious language:

The scientists, whose job is to look for fossil remains and to dig for archeological evidence of human origins, have probably demonstrated quite well for us that the earliest human life forms appeared in East Africa over a million years ago. These paleoanthropologists maintain that the first humans evolved in Africa and migrated to Europe and Asia. These earliest human life are referred to as Homo erectus. The evolution from Homo Erectus to Homo Sapiens is explained in various ways. Some believing in the “multiregional hypothesis†claimed that some Homo Sapiens developed in Africa, another in Europe and another in Asia. But other scholars maintain that all humans that inhabit the earth today came out of the Homo Sapiens that evolved in Africa (“Out of Africa†theory). Scientists at Berkeley, California, and at Emory, in Atlanta, by looking at patterns of genetic variation of mitochondrial DNA among human populations, determined that Africans, of all existing populations, have the deepest genetic roots. Since only women are the bearers of a type of “genetic time-clock,†the African woman stands out as the model of a kind of “Mitochondrial Eve.†Thus genetic evidence point to the origin of humankind from a “Black Eve.†All humanity descends from a Black African woman. The fundamental belief among many scientists is that the transformation of an archaic human form to a modern form of Homo Sapiens occurred first in Africa about 100,000 to 150,000 years ago. From Africa this most recent ancestor migrated to spread over the face of the earth. All human beings therefore descended from Africans. This implies that not only humanity, but also language, culture, civilization and religion were born in Africa… Until about 1950 it was assumed that the Afroasiatic language family had been introduced into Africa from neighboring Asia, but now it is widely held that it originated in Africa west of the Red Sea. It includes the Semitic languages of southwestern Asia, such as Arabic, Hebrew, and ancient Aramaic, and the ancient Egyptian, Berber, Chadic, Cushitic, and Omotic languages of northern and northeastern Africa… The point we make here is that since the cradle of humanity was probably Africa – or, at least, one important segment of the species Homo Sapiens evolved out of an early genetic pool in Africa – one could claim that dance, ritual, and ceremony are the dramatic elements of the religious traditions that are still extant today all over sub-Saharan Africa and have spread from there over the face of the earth. The African is a person of dance. The Africans were the first human beings to dance and reflect on their humanity in terms of a world beyond the physical, the spiritual order of gods and ancestors. The Africans were the messengers of art and of the good news about a world beyond the mere mundane earth.â€

Ray’s Presentation: The Enlightenment Part 1
The Rise of the West and Historical Methodology
“The Enlightenment in Europe and the Americas” (3-11)
Tartuffe (12-68)
from A Vindication of the Rights of Women (160-163).
Both of works of literature you’ve tackled this week challenged received notions about society. This week’s discussion will have you examining the these writers’ exploration of these changing times.
Part One: Reason and Tradition
Reflect on how Moliere explores the tension between adherence to tradition and reason in Tartuffe through the characters of Orgon and Cleante. This is an open-ended question — though clearly they most strongly differ in their response to Tartuffe himself. Your post does need to draw specifically from the play to support your analysis — summarize at least one relevant scene which illustrates your interpretation, and include at least one or two specific quotations.
Part Two: Challenging the Role of Women
Reflect on how Mary Wollstonecraft would view the role of women in Tartuffe. Again — the question is open ended, but you need to support your interpretation with specifics from the excerpt we’ve read from A Vindication of the Rights of Women.
Each post should be at least 400 words.
Reflecting on your professional experience, describe a time when there was damaging conflict on a team of which you were a member. This conflict may have been suppressed, so not directly addressed, or it may have surfaced in a way that was destructive to team effectiveness.
Applying material from this week, the Internet and/or Library research, explain how the conflict could have been better managed by the team and team leader. Consider how your conflict management style, as revealed by the TKI Assessment, played a part in this situation.
NOTE: Please complete your TKI Assessment prior to submitting your initial response.
