As you’ve seen in this week;s resources, the end of World War II had far-reaching consequences for the United States and the rest of the world. The United States and the USSR became the two leading powers filling the leadership void left after the war. What were the causes of the Cold War? How did Trumans reaction ensure U. S. national security? Consider and describe the ways these efforts, if any, contributed to the rise of McCarthyism.

Cite two federal laws that you believe are the most important for protecting employees from workplace discrimination. Provide a compelling argument for the effectiveness of the legislation in protecting employees and two case law examples to support your assessment. Explain the actions that employers must take to verify legal employment in the United States.
In this assignment, you evaluate and assess workplace protection legislation, identify the law pursuant to the employment-at-will (EAW) doctrine and legal exceptions and apply this understanding to a business scenario, and explain legal requirements for hiring new employees and your own home state laws as to workers' compensation and immigration.
Instructions
Respond to the following in 4–6 pages:
Cite two federal laws that you believe are the most important for protecting employees from workplace discrimination. Provide a compelling argument for the effectiveness of the legislation in protecting employees and two case law examples to support your assessment.
Explain the actions that employers must take to verify legal employment in the United States.
Some states do not allow undocumented workers, or those not legally allowed to work in the United States, to receive workers' compensation benefits. Provide the law in your home state and a compelling and supported (with research) argument advocating for or against your state's practice of allowing or denying workers' compensation benefits to undocumented or illegal workers.
Provide a comprehensive summary of the employment-at-will (EAW) doctrine that includes all possible legal exceptions designed to fight wrongful termination.

Scenario 1: JoAnn, a manager, started a blog on the company website for employee grievances and problems. She noticed that a worker was protesting that allegedly no Asian American employees had gotten a raise in two years at the company. Christine, the employee, also criticized how much CEO Elon had made last year and how he was "out of touch" with the realities of his employees. JoAnn reminded Christine that she was an employee-at-will. The next day, Christine talked to her fellow co-workers about forming a union. JoAnn fired Christine, and Christine is suing for wrongful termination.
Scenario 2: Steven, a department supervisor, fired his secretary, Ann. Ann, a devout Christian, had been putting Right-to-Life flyers in the employee breakroom. Steven talked to Ann twice and reiterated her actions were not appropriate. Ann continued to leave the pamphlets and was also taking time away from work to pray at her desk during the busiest times of the morning. Ann is suing for wrongful termination.

A virtual private network (VPN) serves at least two key functions: to enhance security across public networks, and to carry the traffic from local area networks (LANs) across public networks with different protocols and addressing. Every VPN is going to have different requirements for each goal. Address the following: When would you want to configure a site-to-site VPN?
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapters 3 and 4 from the CompTIA Cloud+ Certification: CVO-002 course textbook.

You are the manager for a company that sells outdoor grills. Youve recently earned your MBA, and you want to apply what youve learned to your position to help with decision-making. You have developed the following estimated regression equation to help make data-driven decisions for the store. This will help you to better see how the unemployment rate, temperature, gas prices, and the price of steak impact weekly outdoor grill sales. Y = 22,100 – 412×1 + 818×2 – 93×3 – 71×4 Where: · Y = weekly sales · x1 = local unemployment rate · x2 = weekly average high temperature · x3 = number of activities in the local community · x4 = average price of gasoline per gallon Instructions Use the above equation and information to answer the following questions in a Word document, and create a guideline to use for future business decisions: Based on the equation above, please provide the value for x1, x2, x3, and x4. Also, explain what these values mean in the context of this question. For example: What does the value of 818 mean in the equation above (specify if it is x1 or x2 or x3 or x4, and explain what those values mean based on the equation and context)? What are the estimated weekly sales if the unemployment rate is 3.7%, the average high temperature is 670, there are 10 activities, and the average price of gasoline is $3.39 per gallon?
