E-mails are a common form of communication medium used by many companies. Supervisors use it to communicate with their subordinates, and employees use it to pass across information to their colleagues. When using e-mails, employees should always ensure they send and copy it to the right people, since not everybody is purview to every aspect of a company’s operations (Suchan, 2016). A misplaced e-mail can cause extensive damage not only within the organization but also outside the company. The language used when communicating is also important. Companies are increasingly diversifying their human capital, employing people from different races and gender. With this in mind, employees should always use the formal language adopted within the organization and not their individual or native languages. Doing this prevents some employees from feeling left out, which might hamper their ability to interact and work with their colleagues.

As an instructional leader, how would you have handled the controversies? Describe how what you learned can be applied in (1) an educational environment and (2) as an instructional leader.

Requirements: 5 to 7 page

Answer preview
As an instructional leader, there are different ways I could have handled this controversy differently and avoided shaming my students. Instructional leaders, especially if they are principals, are responsible for ensuring they provide the teaching staff and support staff within the institutions with the requisite resources to allow them to cater to their students’ needs. By introducing a lunch shaming policy, the school was doing the opposite of this, because doing so creates an inhospitable learning environment. To avoid this, the principal should have drafted letters to all the affected families, informing them that they intend to withhold offering meals to their children for failure to pay the required meals. By doing this, parents will be aware of what is going on, and as such, contact the school to find ways of paying their debts, even if it would be through flexible and intermittent payments. Such collaboration between the school and parents might have helped avoid the problems brought about by the policy (Koschmann, 2012). Alternatively,

Assignment: Identify and synthesize who, what, when, where and why of the January 6 Capitol

Riots from the conservative POV, the liberal POV and a designated foreign POV of your choice.

Provide an overview of the events of the day, a compare and contrast analysis of the events and a

conclusion that reveals and details your personal POV on the fallout of the events of this

unprecedented attack on the “People’s House” by citizens of the United States.

Audience: Your fellow UH students. Help them better understand why you support the proTrump forces or President Biden by summarizing the liberal, conservative and foreign stances on

Capitol Riots of January 6.

Rationale: Accurately and respectfully synthesizing a range of views is a large part of working

with complex ideas. Identifying your own position in relation to others’ ideas marks you as a

discerning thinker and writer.

Requirements: Essay | 2 pages, Single spaced

Answer preview

The liberals believe that the government should promote equality and liberty in the United States. They are considered to be on the left side of the political spectrum. From the liberals’ point of view, the January 6th Capitol riot was immoral and a betrayal to the democracy of the United States. Liberals supported Joe Biden, which means that they were happy about his victory. Liberals believed that the election was transparent. Besides, Liberals had no problem with Trump’s claim of election irregularities because they did not react once he made the statement. They only wanted Trump to follow legal procedures to declare the election fraudulent.

Liberals thought that conservatives were betraying democracy because they did not follow the right procedures to channel their grievances. They were supposed to present evidence that the election was not fair instead of rioting. Democracy means that everyone has the right to be heard. That democracy was shown to conservatives when the court demonstrated that it was ready to address their issues. Some votes were even recounted to make sure that there were no irregularities in the election process. However, conservatives went ahead and invaded the Capitol to interfere with the victory of the elected person. That is not a democracy, and the Capitol riot should not have happened.

The author uses imagery to help readers visualize his experiences during specific times. An example is a vivid description provided to explain his father and his stay with his father. He narrates the diet, clothing (tight, short shorts), practices, rules, and emotions to help the reader comprehend the unpleasantness he felt. He also uses powerful, compelling words to describe situations and places. ‘we both knew, you needed not to lose more than I needed to win’ (Laymon, 2018). These descriptions increase the intensity of the story for the reader.

I understood several things from the reading. Among them was the struggle of the African American to change to earn respect from society. According to Laymon (2018), using ‘nan’

Answer preview

When evaluating the potential of a relationship, three main things are essential. Firstly, communication is a core aspect of any association, whether in professional or personal settings. It is a crucial quality to enhance the functionality of a relationship. Secondly, emotional engagement is a vital attribute for my relationships. I value this trait because it allows those involved to be openly express their feelings without fear of judgment. Lastly, compatibility is an essential characteristic of the kind of relationships I develop. The people I form relations must be compatible with me in one or more aspects of my life to help create a rapport.

Requirements: 3 page

Answer preview

Love is very expensive, and we should not take it for granted. The fact that no one can equate material things for love resonates with me (Albom, n.d.). Today, people have invested in material things and forgot about love. For example, parents are no longer having enough time to associate with their children because they spend a lot of time at work. As a result, children grow up without parental love that exposes them to abusive love from outsiders. Once parents learn that they have not been showing enough love to their children, they try to reverse whatever had happened using money. For example, some children may end up joining gangs to experience the love their parents denied them. To reverse that, parents try to pay for rehabilitation services so that their children can change their behaviors. However, rehabilitation cannot make children experience the love that parents have not offered to them. Therefore, parents must accept that love cannot be replaced by material things. They should take responsibility and show their children the love they deserve.

Additionally, family members opted for alternative methods of burial, especially cremation. According to Van Overmeire and Bilsen (2020), the Texas funeral service commission (TFSC) had 10% cremations before the coronavirus pandemic and 90% cremation upon the virus’s onset. More families opted for cremation as it was the easiest way to bury their loved ones. Cremation does not involve embalming of the body and eliminates the search for a burial site. The NFDA stated that there is currently no law that forces families to cremate their loved ones’ remains, although families should check on the state and local laws when choosing between burials or cremation. Concerning green burials, the CDC states that green burials continue, although at a lower rate and through online platforms, yet there is no risk of being in the same room with the dead body of a loved one provided everyone maintains social distance. Natural burial cemeteries have witnessed a significant drop in green burials as more people turn to cremation.

Even though every person can get the disease, certain categories of people should watch out for the virus because they have a greater probability of developing complications resulting from the acquisition of the influenza virus (Baselga-Moreno et al., 2019). Unlike the rest of the people, individuals falling under this category cannot afford to keep off flu medication and hope the virus disappears. The fact that they have a higher chance of developing complications means they have to seek medical intervention as soon as they begin showing symptoms. Young children who are yet to hit the five years mark and those bellow six months are included in this list. Due to their weakened immune system, older adults are also at risk of developing complications once they get infected. Pregnant women and people with chronic illnesses also fall under this category. Finally, Native Americans have a higher chance of developing flu complications

To adopt this new technology, our organization will have to look for a competent cloud provider. It is because a third party who manages virtual resources is the one who will provide the cloud services. The provider will also help the organization in transitioning to the cloud by providing the needed support to ensure the organization benefits from the new technology. The organization will also need to create a change management plan to make people understand how the new technology will change the way they go about their duties. For instance, a change management plan can explain why the change is happening, how, and with whom to share information. The organization will also need to perform a smooth cutover to ensure the technology shift does not disrupt the organization’s operations.

I will use an event from the Canon-McMillan School District in Eighty Four Pennsylvania, to illustrate this. In 2016, the district came up with a lunch shaming policy that required cafeteria employees to dispose of any remaining hot lunches instead of serving them to students who are unable to clear off their debts (Kate, 2019). One of the cafeteria workers felt it was unethical to do this and quit their job. Instead of seeing the harm, the policy will do, the Canon-McMillan school board defended it, with one of the board members indicating that they came up with the policy, not to embarrass students but rather to help recoup the money their families owed the district. He further stated before they instituted the policy, three hundred families owed the district between sixty thousand dollars and one hundred thousand dollars.
