Our juvenile justice system has been augmented numerous times, specifically the past few years. Many of the changes evolved around the fact that most juvenile offenders should be held accountable and responsible for their actions, whereas previous laws focused on rehabilitation.

In what manner do you believe juveniles should be held accountable for their criminal behavior? Explain your answer. What barriers, if any, challenge this form of legislation? Identify and explain those potential barriers.

What key events and figures helped shape Russian identity in this period?
Through studying works of literature and the visual and performing arts, we will examine enduring themes of Russian identity, examining tensions between Westernization versus Slavophile values and the quest for political freedoms versus strong centralized rule. The module challenges students to analyze factors that facilitated the rise and fall of Russian imperial power, including institutionalized serfdom, rapid industrialization and militarization under the Soviets, and today’s post-communist order under Vladimir Putin’s leadership.
Our comprehensive survey will equip students with critical analysis of primary documents and seminal figures. Assigned readings, lectures, films, and discussions will highlight Russia’s growing prosperity and global expansion alongside its struggles with political oppression and dissent. By answering module questions and crafting essays around milestones studied, students will gain appreciation for Russian civilization’s immense impact on global economics, governance, arts, literacy, and religion across the centuries.

Identify an incident from your workplace where leaders made a decision or engaged in a behavior/action that you believe stemmed from the implicit bias of those leaders in some way.  What was the result of that decision and how could a more comprehensive decision have been made to avoid the pitfalls associated with implicit bias?

  
Implicit bias, which we all have, impacts critical and creative thinking.  Identifying these biases in our values is a large part of this course because it impacts each and every decision we make in our lives…including our workplaces.  As leaders it is imperative you are aware of this issue and its impact on thinking, behavior, and change.

Identify an incident from your workplace where leaders made a decision or engaged in a behavior/action that you believe stemmed from the implicit bias of those leaders in some way.  What was the result of that decision and how could a more comprehensive decision have been made to avoid the pitfalls associated with implicit bias?
