You will select and read two or three chapters from each text and write an essay (2-3) not including references, 1.5 spaces). In order to be successful on this assignment you must use proper in-text citations and references. I welcome your use of quotes from the text to illustrate your points. However, you must cite your quotes directly in-text and in the references (incorporating word for word text without quotations marks is considered plagiarism, and will result in no credit for this assignment).In order to be successful, provide a thoughtful compare and contrast by answering the following questions (please be sure to note the particular chapters from each text that you’ve selected):1. First, come up with a thesis statement outlining your perspective in the last sentence of the first paragraph (after providing a general overview describing the similarities and differences between the scenarios).2. Compare social, cultural, political and economic factors shaping preparedness, response and recovery.For example, how has the socioeconomic status of the affected population or the overall economy of the country or territory shaped the ability of ordinary citizens and the government to prepare and respond effectively? How has it affected their ability to recover? Use direct quotes when relevant.3. Population affectedAre there similarities or differences in terms of the level of vulnerability and resilience/strength of the populations affected? Spell out in detail the ways in which these populations are both vulnerable and resilient. Use direct quotes when relevant.4. Politics. Are there similarities and differences in the capacity for ordinary citizens and the government to respond to the population affected? Consider minority status, languages spoken, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity and culture in your answer. Use direct quotes when relevant.5. Compare the type of emergency (humanitarian crisis, natural disasters, etc.)Might responding to a humanitarian crisis, such as refugees fleeing from persecution (if applicable) require similar or different resources and government and non-profit support compared to a natural disaster? Use direct quotes when relevant.6. LocationIf you are comparing a U.S. and a non-U.S. location, asks yourself whether language, culture, society and economic differences made an impact. If so, how? Use direct quotes when relevant.7. Reflection. Does your comparison change the way you would personally prepare for a similar emergency? Does it raise issues that you had not considered before? If so, how would you change your personal preparedness plan based on these personal accounts?

Discussion 2: Shared Practice: Case Study: IDEO and CreativityWhile you may never have heard of the design firm IDEO, you have likely heard of and even used products that it envisioned, including some of the very first computer mice. How does a company consistently generate groundbreaking ideas over the long term? One of the first steps, of course, is to recruit the best and most creative employees. Once those employees have joined the organization, however, there is still more that a company must do to support creativity and create a fertile ground for innovation. In this week’s Discussion, you will be sharing experiences you have had in participating in creative work environments.For this week’s Shared Practice, read the following case study, Creative climate: Work environment allows IDEO to deliver promise of innovation. Examine how IDEO combines the elements of leadership, work environment, and processes in ways that harness the creativity of its employees and project teams. Then, think of an organization where you have worked, currently work, or one with which you are familiar. Consider how the organization compares with IDEO in supporting a creative climate.Post by Day 4 a response that includes the following, using an organization for which you work, have worked, or with which you are familiar:Describe the leadership, environment, and process factors specific to both individuals as well as teams that contribute to a creative climate.Evaluate how the leadership, work environment, and organization processes supported the creativity of employees and teams.Based on your observations and/or experience with the organization, describe an initiative that could be implemented that would strengthen the climate for creativity among participants in the initiative. Hint: You can base the initiative on the IDEO case study (i.e., redesigning employee work spaces to enhance collaboration) or you can craft one of your own.Explain how the initiative you have selected for the organization might build on its strengths and/or address its weaknesses in supporting individuals and teams in a climate for creativity.

What does the veil of ignorance test for discrimination?

This statement comes from Google CEO Eric Schmidt on the corporate web page titled “Google Celebrates Diversity”: “Our products and tools serve an audience that is globally and culturally diverse—so it’s a strategic advantage that our teams not only encompass the world’s best talent but also reflect the rich diversity of our customers, users, and publishers. It is imperative that we hire people with disparate perspectives and ideas, and from a broad range of cultures and backgrounds. This philosophy won’t just ensure our access to the most gifted employees; it will also lead to better products and create more engaged and interesting teams.”“[emailprotected]: A place to be you,” Google, accessed May 31, 2011, http://www.google.com/corporate/diversity/index.html.This is a very carefully worded paragraph, and beneath its motivational tone there are firm statements about diversity in the Google workplace. They include the following:Google carefully avoids mentioning race, gender, and similar requirements for any particular position. The company doesn’t get involved in discussions about how many Catholic females over fifty years old and with a disability work there. Like most contemporary organizations, Google avoids strict quota systems.Google will seek to hire “the world’s best talent.”Google, apart from hiring the best raw talent, will seek employees reflecting “the rich diversity of our customers.”There are also clear justifications for the diversity side of the hiring strategy. Google will take action to contract a rainbow of workers becausediversity in hiring will help Google connect with its diverse consumer base,diversity in hiring will ensure Google has access to all gifted employees,diversity in hiring will help Google produce better products,diversity in hiring will help Google create more engaged and interesting teams.Concretely, what is Google doing to diversify the people forming its company? Besides directly hiring a diverse workforce, the company offers a number of scholarships and internships aimed at those historically underrepresented in the technology industry.“Diversity and students,” Google, accessed May 31, 2011, http://www.google.com/diversity/students.html.QUESTIONSIn a nutshell, the commonly cited arguments in favor of affirmative action include the following:It creates fairness and equal opportunity within organizations.It benefits third parties: society as a whole will be more harmonious as discrimination recedes.It reduces tensions in an organization.It benefits organizations by helping them reach their goals.It is compensation for past wrongs.Which of these arguments appear to stand behind affirmative action at Google? Explain. Are any of the other justifications applicable even though they may not be the reasonGoogle seeks diverse talent?In sweeping terms there are two types of arguments in favor of affirmative action. First, it serves a broad social good by integrating society. Second, companies employing affirmative action do better in the marketplace than those that don’t. If you had to choose one of these as a better and more persuasive argument for affirmative action, which would you choose? Why?At some publicly funded universities, scholarships are, in essence, set aside for minorities. Google privately funds scholarships that are, in essence, set aside for minorities. Taxpayers, in other words, fund one affirmative action endeavor and private investors the other. Now, is one endeavor ethically superior to the other? Why or why not?In a nutshell, the basic arguments against affirmative action include the following:It is essentially discrimination, and therefore it reinforces what it combats.The best way to eliminate discrimination is to let equal opportunity law, markets, and time do their work.It is unfair to minorities who are treated as tokens.Forcing organizations to evaluate talent in ways outside of merit diminishes their competitiveness.It creates resentment and tensions in an organization.It doesn’t compensate past wrongs (because those benefitting and suffering today aren’t those who suffered and benefitted in the past).Looking at this list, how do you suppose Google CEO Eric Schmidt might argue against each item?With an eye on these arguments against affirmative action, can you make the case that Google’s efforts are ethically reproachable?What does the veil of ignorance test for discrimination? Put yourself under the veil of ignorance. Now, do you believe Google’s hiring policies are ethically good or bad? Why?Title page, 2 pages of content, and a reference page.

Case Study 1: Jamie – Supported Living AgencyJamie is a 35-year-old female with autism and an intellectual disability. She often uses assistivetechnology on an iPad to communicate with others. Jamie lives in a supported living agencywith other adults with disabilities. Her mother is elderly, so Jamie relies primarily on theadvocacy and support services at her supported living agency. When her mom comes to visitone week, she notices a change in Jamie’s behavior. Jamie is typically very happy andinterested in being active. Her mother observes unexplained violent episodes, disinterestinterest in eating her favorite foods and it seems like she may have more trouble balancinglately. Jamie’s mother requests she be taken to the doctor for a check-up.A workforce shortage to staff supported living agencies means there has been a high turnoverrate for care providers of people with ID and often caregivers are stretched beyond capacity.Jamie’s newly assigned caregiver only sees Jamie on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s during theafternoons while another caregiver sees her in the mornings and nights. Reluctantly, because ofher novel experience, Jamie’s caregiver takes her to the doctor. Jamie becomes anxious whenrequired to wait in the lobby while her caregiver completes a stack of required paperwork. Thelobby is noisy, the door chime keeps going off, and there are loud phone conversationshappening at the front desk. Since her caregiver is new, she doesn’t know how to help Jamiefeel less anxious and there are no quiet spaces available in the facility for them to wait. Inaddition, the caregiver becomes frustrated because she is being called back to the agency totend to another client and doesn’t have all the required medical information to accuratelycomplete the paperwork. When it comes time for the appointment, the physician speaks only toJamie’s caregiver and rushes through the appointment because it is only scheduled to be 30minutes long. At the end of the appointment, Jamie’s physician prescribes her antipsychotics tocontrol the violent episodes.How would you address the facility experience from your profession’s perspective?What questions would you ask the patient to best care for and address their needs in this scenario?What additional information do you need to make informed decisions?What are possible avenues to obtain the necessary information to enable you to provide best-practice care in this case? (e.g., Patient, family member, caregiver, EHR, managed care organization)Practice how you would go about asking each member of the patient’s support group for additional information. Start with the patient themselves.What challenges would you anticipate and how might you address those challenges from the beginning?
