i have two different topic which ever you like you can do. so, the topic is a move: world war ii, A place: Nepal And it’s an informative speech

After you have listed, and I have approved any of your 10+ proposed Informative Speech Topics, you will select one of the approved topics (usually one of the two you have placed * or ** beside, usually but maybe not always) and then begin researching that person, place, object, etc. in eLibrary, Biography Reference Bank (if a person, living or dead), CultureGrams Online (if a place), and/or Encyclopedia Britannica (all topics) in order to create your Informative Outline.

Please ask before you use any other database. The above listed databases have a copy/paste MLA citation. Some other databases do not. If you use another database, you are responsible for using an EasyBib or NoodleTools citation generator.

Warning: NO Google, .com or other non-database research (news articles or photos) will be allowed for this speech unless otherwise directed by the Professor in extremely rare cases.

I have provided a blank Informative Outline template attached in this assignment module. Simply open a database (look to your left for Research the database), search news stories on your topic, copy information from that article, paste into a section of the template, and copy that MLA citation both with the information and on the last page (Works Cited) so you don’t accidentally plagiarize the owner(s) of that source.

The speech outline should be completed in 5 major parts: Introduction/Opener, Main Point 1, Main Point 2, Main Point 3, and Conclusion/Closer. There can be a fourth main point for some topics. You usually use at least one database news source for each main point. You should find additional database news sources for the statistics to write your Introduction and Conclusion unless one of your main point sources has quality statistics that work well in an opener and a closer.

To complete your Introduction: 1. Find a statistic in a news article from eLibrary, Biography Reference Bank, CultureGrams, or Encyclopedia Britannica. 2. Write your own “Connection to the audience” as a question. 3. Write your thesis (identifying your topic and your main points BOTH). 4. Once you know all your database news source publications, list them all for your Establish Credibility.

Next, use a news source for main point one. For example, for a person that main point might be “Childhood.” For a disease, that might be “Symptoms and Diagnosis.” For a place that might be “History.”

Next, use a different news source for main point two. Sometimes it can be the same database if you use anything other than Encyclopedia Britannica for main point one. For a person, that might be “Career.” For a disease, that might be “Treatments.” For a place that might be “President ” or “Prime Minister.”

Next, use another different news source for main point three. For a deceased celebrity or historical person, that might be “Death and/or Legacy.” For a disease, that might be “Treatment options.” For a place that might be “Culture,” “Holidays” or “Landmarks.”

On a rare occasion, there may be a fourth main point. For a person, that might be “Movie made about this person.” For a disease, that might be “A celebrity who suffered/suffers from this disease.” For a place, that might be “Famous people from this city/state/country.”

DO NOT forget your MLA citations. They must be listed ALPHABETICALLY on a Works Cited page. The databases listed above have a “Cite” or “Generate Citation” button somewhere on the screen which allows you to copy and paste the MLA citation rather than go to EasyBib or NoodleTools to make one. However, IF you need to make a citation, or check to see if your copy/pasted citation is accurate, use Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab website OWL.

Also attached is a blank Informative Speech grade rubric. You do not need to do anything in Blackboard with this rubric. I have provided it to explain the 20 individual criteria on which you will be graded when you write an outline, create a PowerPoint, and of course present your topic.

Each criteria is graded on a 0-5 scale:

0=criteria not attempted, 1-criteria minimally attempted, 2=criteria attempted but weak with room for substantial improvement, 3=criteria attempted satisfactorily but with average results, 4=criteria could use slight improvement, 5=criteria successfully attempted.

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Ask the Professor via e-mail if you do not understand any the directions. Be patient. Your professor may need a few hours or a day to answer.

Background Information

In this project, your team is to assume the role of an HR/OB consulting team. Your task is to advise the senior management team of a company that is looking for guidance on HRM/OB practices targeted toward the Generation Z (born in 1990s). The company believes that it is behind in implementing HR practices that will help to recruit, motivate and retain employees from this generation. As a result, your team has been asked to analyze and recommend one HR/OB practice as a priority for implementation to help the company begin to move forward in this area.

Please read the instruction carefully

Project Content

This project requires that your team make a compelling, but balanced business case for implementation of an HR practice that takes into account both the benefits of implementing the practice as well as the potential risks. More specifically, your team should:

  • Select an HR/OB practice that is particularly relevant to Generation Z and make a convincing case for why this practice relates to this generation. As a starting point, consider our discussion in class related to the needs of this generation. Do additional research to identify characteristics of this generation that support your case.
  • Describe the HR/OB practice. Give sufficient detail to provide a clear understanding of how you would implement it. To support this description, provide an example of its implementation in at least one organization that you consider to be a best practice, including evidence of the positive results of this implementation. You may draw this example from the popular press or from real life examples that you glean from discussions/interviews with business contacts. In summary, the senior management in your organization is more likely to believe that this practice can be successful if they clearly understand how it works and have evidence of its successful implementation in another organization.
  • Make the strategic business case for how this practice can impact organizational effectiveness. What types of tangible and intangible benefits can be realized by implementing this practice? Explain your rationale.
  • Provide a balanced assessment by identifying costs, disadvantages, potential risks to implementing the practice (e.g., employee reactions, ethical considerations, legal considerations, etc.).
  • Describe important considerations for the effective implementation of this practice. This includes, but is not limited to, characteristics of organizations and their employees that would provide the best environment to implement this practice, recommendations to address/mitigate the potential risks you have identified, and horizontal alignment of other HR practices to support the practice you are recommending (e.g., organizational policies, training, etc.). In summary, to determine whether this practice is a good fit for the organization and how to maximize its effectiveness, senior management will need to understand the “critical to success” implementation factors.
  • Outline a plan to measure the success of the practice. What measures will be important? How will you collect the data?
  • Report results of the team’s analysis and provide recommendations that include action items that can be followed by managers.

Background

:

Happiness offers a common ground on which most can agree: happiness is worth striving for. Noother concept provides a more compelling index of how society promotes or inhibits the enjoyment of life (Thin, 2014). However, happiness eludes many people, and their attempts to find it are often misguided (Binswanger, 2006). Complicating matters is a rapidly advancing world, driven by technological innovations, social media, and a global economy — all of which influence human values. Yet, at the core, humans are organisms driven by factors that enhanced survival and fecundity in the past. The organs that regulate our emotions were shaped not to benefit individuals or the species, but only to enhance the transmission of genes (Fisher, 1930). In the modern world, however, our instincts promote choices resulting in obesity, depression, distress, anxiety, fear, o morbidity (Buss, 2000; Nesse, 2004). For example, obesity has been linked to behaviors that enhanced fat storage during cycles of feast and famine in the post-agricultural era (Prentice, Hennig, & Fulford, 2008). Similarly, anxiety and fear stem from perceived threats of competition or predation (Breslau, 2001). Humans are very complex creatures in an increasingly complex world.

Mission:

As you have learned, finding happiness can be a challenge in the face of biological and evolutionary cues. Now that you are empowered, we would like you to design some tools and develop some skills to promote your long term happiness. For your final project, you will complete the following

1. A five page double – spaced personal reflection focused on your own happiness and links with the modules of the course : a) biology, b) neurology, c) relationships, d) purpose and esteem, e) space and f) our own selves. Consider your well –

being on multiple levels- physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc. Please include references to course readings, use citations and refer to activities you completed in the course.

2. A realistic and actionable personal development plan of well-researched strategies to enhance your personal happiness, while also enhancing societal happiness and long term sustainability. There are sometimes tradeoffs between the pursuit of short term happiness, long term happiness and socio-ecological sustainability. You are strongly encouraged to select strategies you will actually do- i.e. if you hate the water and live in Arizona don’t say you are going to pick up snorkeling as a hobby to relax. For this personal development plan, you can provide

(Have FUN with this!!)

:

•

A guiding checklist to keep your plan on track• Strategies organized in a visually appealing or artistic format

3. Summarize your paper and personal development plan in a 3 – minute pitch like this: http://threeminutethesis.org/3mt

– showcase Film your pitch with your phone, computer, or camera and submit the file on Blackboard with your final paper.

Requirements:

Your development plan must be designed to overcome some of the biological and evolutionary cues that challenge your happiness (as described in the personal reflection). Be sure to identify, document, and explain connections between biological drivers and happiness for your specific plan.

Also, describe the role that cultural identity, context and social cohesion have in happiness.

Annotated Bibliography

“There is no perfect time to write. There’s only now.”

-Barbara Kingsolver

In Week 3 we continue with our focus on strengthening skillsets and growing our knowledge base for success. In addition, we will learn various aspects of critical thinking, review academic dishonesty, and practice and strengthen valuable research skills. As you move through your academic career, you will hear the term “critical thinking” often. It is one of the goals professors want students to be able to do well by the time they graduate. In addition to critical thinking, we will also discuss learning styles and concepts of multiple intelligences, and each student will complete an annotated bibliography on a topic from this course. The annotated bibliography will serve as one component of the Week 4 Final Paper.

This assignment is designed so that you can practice your research skills. For your Annotated Bibliography, you will research a topic of your choice from this class that you want to learn more about. Use the National University library and/or a public or university/college library near you. Include books, book chapters, and/or peer-reviewed journal articles (any combination of these is acceptable) on your annotated bibliography. The NU library has an extensive journal database as well as book holdings available for your use. No websites can be included for this assignment. If you have any questions, feel free to check with me or one of the NU librarians (They are available for live chats.). Include 3-4 peer-reviewed sources (books or articles from scholarly journals only–No websites or popular magazines) on the Annotated Bibliography. Wikipedia and other such tertiary sources are not acceptable sources for this assignment. For your convenience, I have added sample annotated bibliographies to Course Resources. These will give you a visual example of what you might do for this assignment.

Your first step will be to choose a topic we have or will discuss in class for the assignment. For example, if you’re interested in active learning or learning styles, either one is a solid topic to research. For a topic with multiple points, like learning styles, narrow your focus to one aspect of that topic. In addition, when choosing a topic, consider researching something that will help you moving forward. For instance, if you have issues with retaining what you read or need to strengthen your study habits, perhaps active reading or building better study techniques will be good possible topics for your research. After the topic is chosen, decide what point you want to examine about the topic. In essence, what you would be arguing about the topic if you were writing a paper. Each annotated bibliography entry should include the name of the work, author or editor, publication information, and 4-6 sentences about the source and how it would help you write an essay on the topic you’ve chosen.

General Format Guidelines:

The annotated bibliography generally will be minimum of 4-6 sentences in length. It should be in MLA format (see the Little Seagull Handbook or the library link to a quick guide below) written in paragraph form, and include the bibliographic information for the source in MLA format, a summary of the source (minimum 2-3 sentences), and an evaluation of how the source would benefit a paper on your chosen topic (minimum 2-3 sentences).

-The Bibliographic Source Information (author, title, publication information, etc)-
Your annotated bibliography should be in MLA format and in alphabetical order. See the MLA section of The Little Seagull Handbook or any of the links below for correct formatting of your source information.

-The Summary- (minimum 2-3 sentences)

What is this source about? Focus on main arguments, themes, and conclusions. Do the author’s credentials suggest that they are well-qualified to write the source?

-The Evaluation- (minimum 2-3 sentences)

With the evaluation, focus on how this source will be useful and relevant to a paper on your topic. How will it benefit your research and help you support the ideas in the paper. Additional points to discuss: Is the author objective in the presentation of the information. Is the information supported by facts, or is it the author’s opinion.
