- Chapter 15: International Human Resources Management
- You must use APA-formatted in-text citations and References to indicate the source of any ideas you apply from other authors.

This paper should examine how your company of choice provides benefits and what benefits they offer. What benefits must be provided by the organization? How do these benefits differ between full and part time employees? Do employees like the benefits they are provided? How does the company try to manage benefit costs?
The paper will also examine the role of health and safety within the organization. What role does HR play in providing health and safety policies to employees. What consequences could result in poor health and safety practices? What are the employee responsibilities when it comes to safety? How does OSHA or other governmental agencies provide oversight for health and safety to the organization? Can you find examples of safety accidents, workplace violence or other incidents of concern? What impact did these incidents or violations have?
The paper will also explore employee rights and how management makes disciplinary decisions. Can you find examples or violations that have resulted in these decisions? Have employees been wrongfully terminated or have other employee rights been violated? What outcome did this have on the employee and/or organization? Is the company (or industry) unionized? How would a union relationship impact how the organization is managed? How has the organization tried to promote or avoid unionization?
Finally discuss if the company operates internationally and how this process is different than in the US. If the company is not an international organization, what laws or differences should they consider if moving into a global market place?

Write a clear argument, familiarity with relevant material, and a robust analysis (application of concept to a specific example; employing sociological concepts and theories to answer ‘why’?)
Description
One thing that the COVID-19 crisis has done is brough social media to the forefront of our thinking and our social interactions. What was once a social practice has now become a social necessity. We zoom to work, we zoom to class, we zoom to weddings. We are online always. What does this mean for the self? What does this mean for meaning making in social contexts? One of the interesting things about social theory is how different theories and theorists can look at the same social phenomena and come up with different analyses and explanations. For this paper, I want you to explore how Goffman and Bourdieu might look at social media as a mechanism of the self. Goffman argues that all social interactions are performances for a stage. Two things guide our performance: remaining in good face and avoiding stigma. What would Goffman say about social media? Is it a new total institution? What are the props, scripts, costumes, prestige symbols, etc. of this stage. Has our dramaturgy changed due to zoom? How has our impression management changed? Are ‘likes’ a form of capital? If so, which kind? Use the cultural capital and habitus ideas from Bourdieu in your response. How does social media reflect our habitus and capitals? How does social media allow for a display of taste and distinction? How does social media reflect the mechanisms of meaning making and value action? To once again quote Charles Lemert: “One of the reasons social theorists are willing to tolerate confusion is that their calling is to stay put in the dirty work of daily life while trying to figure out social things. (Lemert, 2007.) The use value of social theory is to make sense of social phenomena and to bring a critical lens to the daily practices of social life. Often, that requires pulling together different ideas and theories from more than one theorist. Here’s your chance to engage in that practice. Play around and see what you come up with. Most importantly, have fun. Papers should be between 4 and 6 pages in length. Your essay should be between 4 and 6 pages in length. Your papers should be well cited and refer to at least 4 concepts. Summarize and explain the relevant theoretical concepts and their meaning as they relate to your argument and/or analysis. I will be looking for a clear argument, familiarity with relevant material, and a robust analysis (application of concept to a specific example; employing sociological concepts and theories to answer ‘why’?)

Evaluate which criminological perspective identifies the criminogenic factors that Jimmy is experiencing? Does an integrated theory best describe his situation?
Jimmy is homeless. He often lives on the street and does not bathe often. When Jimmy can, he stays in shelters. However, they have sobriety rules, and Jimmy has violated those rules often, so he gets kicked out, making it harder to get back in again. He has not had an apartment or home to call his own since he left his parents’ house. Jimmy has been arrested multiple times. Usually for minor offenses like burglary, theft, drugs, or public disorder. He uses alcohol and drugs to cope with the depression that he is usually feeling. While Jimmy sometimes thinks about suicide, he has not overtly acted upon those feelings, rather he will usually drink or do drugs until he passes out. Jimmy feels that the world is not fair and no matter what he does he ends up in trouble or broke. Jimmy has gone to Alcoholics Anonymous and Narc Anon on multiple occasions. He has never taken it seriously and never gone for very long. Jimmy has tried to work different jobs, but he has never been able to keep a job. Jimmy starts a job with good intentions, but soon something will happen to cause Jimmy to feel like the other workers are against him. Then Jimmy starts to argue and not work well with the others. Typically, the other employees are unsure why Jimmy acts out; they liked him when he first started but grow fed up with him yelling and acting disrespectful. Jimmy will then start drinking or doing drugs to help himself feel better. While he is drinking, he thinks he can better decide what to do as things seem to make more sense to him.
Jimmy is in another one of his down moods. He does not have a job and has no money to get drunk or high. Jimmy grabs a knife and decides he is going to go get some money. Jimmy puts the knife in his pocket. He tells himself he will not really use it but needs it to get money. Jimmy goes to the edge of a local park. He sees someone walking alone on a path. The person is dressed nice and looks like they would have some money. Jimmy walks up behind the person and pulls out his knife. Jimmy grabs the person from behind and demands money. The person turns around quickly, startling Jimmy. Jimmy starts running away. As he is running across the park, Jimmy sees a police officer. Jimmy hears people yelling “that’s him” and pointing in his direction. The police officer shouts at Jimmy to stop. Jimmy does not want to stop, because he is scared; he just wants to get away. Jimmy is still holding the knife in his hand. Jimmy sees the police officer pull out his gun and yell at Jimmy to stop. Jimmy stops. His arms are down at his sides. Jimmy is thinking about how his whole life has been a failure. Jimmy does not want to go back to prison. Jimmy stands there holding the knife, arms at his side, contemplating whether he should he run, give up, or let the officer shoot him and end his misery.
