Explain why studying human behavior and identity is a valuable human endeavor.

Your third longer-term assignment in this course is a presentation or short paper in which you will share your question derived at the end of your observation journal in learning block 4-3 and discuss why it is important and how developments in the social sciences contribute to our understanding of ourselves, each other, and the world around us. This final reflection will assess the following course outcomes, which you focused on throughout Theme 4: 

· Investigate major developments in the progression of social scientific thought for informing critical questions that drive social scientific inquiry 

· Articulate the value of the social sciences for their impact on contemporary issues Prompt Your third project is a presentation or short paper (you are free to choose) that explores the question you posed at the end of your observation journal. With that question as your topic, you will explain why the answer to it is important to understanding yourself, other people, and the world around you and how the social sciences have developed to help us answer these important questions. The critical elements of this assessment will be evaluated by the information in your presentation or paper. Be sure your actual question is apparent on the presentation or paper. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your submission: 

I. Explain why your question is important to you as a member of society. 

II. Detail the major developments in social science thinking that drive questions regarding studying the individual. Use course resources to back up your discussion. 

III. Explain how finding the answer to your question might impact others around you. For instance, who might be most invested in the answer? 

IV. Detail the major developments in social science thinking that drive questions regarding studying others. Use course resources to back up your discussion. 

V. Explain why studying human behavior and identity is a valuable human endeavor.

VI. Detail the major developments in social science thinking that support the study and advancement of the social sciences as necessary and valuable. Use course resources to back up your discussion. Supporting Work and Resources Throughout Theme 4, there are supports you will use as you work directly on different elements of the final reflection. 

1. In learning block 4-3, you submitted your observation journal. Review your submission and the feedback for this assignment via the Project 2 submission link in the My Grades section of the course.

How will I measure the success or failure of this strategy? 

You are now in a meeting with your HRD team and preparing to meet all the Pegasus department heads. Your group has recommended reorganizing Pegasus into project-focused groups; in other words, engineers, computer aided design (CAD) designers, scientists, and model makers will work together on specific projects. Senior management is in favor of the idea, as it reminds them of how they worked together when they started the company. Some newer members of the team doubt that this structure will work in the now-large Pegasus organization. Discuss the following:

1. Discuss organizational interventions to recommend. Take into consideration your previous diagnosis and the emotional state of your employees from your interview. 
2. Include a brief description of each intervention of priority and why you chose this intervention. 
3. Discuss research methods, including the comparative benefits of quantitative and qualitative research. Ask yourself these questions: 
   • How will I measure the success or failure of this strategy? 
   • What research processes will I use to determine if the strategy is helping or harming Pegasus?

Discuss the specific steps or interventions to begin the change reorganization. 

You are meeting with your HRD team and preparing to meet all of the Pegasus department heads. You are preparing for the first change intervention. Using the results of the previous work for this project (previous assignments), complete the following:

1. Discuss the specific steps or interventions to begin the change reorganization. 
2. Determine the first 5 interventions you would recommend to begin the change-management reorganization and your rationale for why you would use these interventions in this sequence. 

Be sure to include outside research, and support your recommendations with cited material. 

The recommendations may be used individually, combined, or implemented in a time line.

In your course text, there are 12 cases in this week’s readings and last week’s readings. Choose one of the cases listed in your course text (or with approval from your instructor, a case of your own choosing). Then, complete additional research on the company from the case you chose, and answer the following questions: 

• What is the background of the case? 
• What problems does the company have to address? 
• What are some potential solutions you’d recommend to solve the problems? 
• Which solution would you choose and how would you implement it?

How would you respond if the  child is a toddler or a preschooler?

You are a  preschool director, social worker, or friend. A parent tells you that  their child loves using a smartphone, iPad, or computer games. The  parent is not sure if it is appropriate. How would you respond if the  child is a toddler or a preschooler? Using this scenario provide an  informed response for each age group that is based on the role you  selected (identify which one) and include reasoning for your response  including why or why not this is recommended or developmentally  appropriate for each age citing your resources. 

 You need  to address BOTH age groups in this assignment to demonstrate  understanding the developmental differences. You may use the same  advising “role” for both.

Write an Argumentative essay (no fewer than 1,000 words in length) that states and supports an original thesis statement.

Multi-Source Argumentative Essay
Length: no less than 1,000 words, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-pt. font size, one-inch margins
This essay is to consist of your own thoughts, words, and ideas with properly cited and documented secondary sources as support.

For this assignment, you will write an organized and well supported Argumentative Essay using three or more points of analysis. You will be most successful writing on a topic that is of interest to you. The best ideas are topical; they are what people are talking about today. And remember that your thesis should be debatable; in other words, there has to be at least two sides to an issue for it to be considered argumentative.
A well-organized essay has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be a statement affirming the main point of view on the selected topic.
A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. Each body paragraph must support (explain) your reasoning (rationale) using specific details. Each body paragraph must have a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.
The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world.
This essay must include a combination of no less than SIX in-text citations from two or more credible and reliable sources. Citations are to be a combination of direct quotations and paraphrased quotations with or without the author’s name, and a Reference List in APA Style must be included.
Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills will lower a final grade.
