“Economic Equilibrium through Different Lenses: A study of Utility, Pain, Pleasure, and Scarcity.”

Description

Write an essay of at least 5 pages on the following:

NOTE: The point of the essay is not to work through the details of the different theories; nor to judge each, on its own, or in relation to the others, and to other lines in economic thought: are they right or wrong? The point is to think through the ways in which they define what economic theory should be, what it should include and exclude, and how it should study what needs to be studied.

Jevons founds his economic theory on the calculus of pain and pleasure adopted from Bentham. Walras and Menger found their theories on scarcity: they define the economic as the situation that arises when the quantity of goods is insufficient to satisfy all the wants to be satisfied by those goods.
I don’t think that there is any fundamental opposition between these two approaches: both employ the concept of utility, and, especially, that of marginal utility (though none of the three – Jevons, Menger, Walras – uses the term “marginal utility” itself). They are all looking for a mechanism to bring about an equilibrium of supply and demand. Nonetheless, pain and pleasure on the one hand, scarcity on the other, are not the same. So:
What is similar, and what is different in the starting-points themselves – pain and pleasure, scarcity? Is there a difference in their focus? Does one point you in a different direction than the other? What is similar in the mechanisms? Is there anything significantly different? Will there be significant differences in the result?
(Note: later neoclassical economics, on the whole, goes for the scarcity approach; and, for example, Robbins, Hicks and Mises all reject pain and pleasure at least in their Benthamite form. You don’t need to take this up, but it’s worth remembering.)

Assignment:
Assignment – Part 1:
In this assignment, you are the game show host for the Diversity game (attached PowerPoint).
Gather two or three friends or family members as contestants. If you have more, divide them into two groups. Use a piece of paper to keep score and print the second page of the presentation to mark which questions were incorrectly answered. 
1. Open the PowerPoint Diversity game. Start the Slideshow to begin.
Read these instructions to the teams:

One person (or team) will randomly be selected to choose the first question category and level. Once a question is read aloud, all person (or team) will debate the answer. One team will raise a hand or use his or her assigned team noisemaker when the team is ready to answer.
I will call on the first team to respond. If they answer correctly, they will receive the number of points indicated, and they will choose the next question category and level. If their answer is incorrect, I will call upon the second team and so on.
In the event that no team answers the question correctly, I will give the correct response. The team that chose last still has control of the board and should choose the next question.
Scores will be recorded and the winner announced at the end of the round. There will be one round of 25 questions (or two rounds of 25 questions each if you also play Double Diversity).

2. Once you have the “board” displayed, and the first team has selected their question, click one of the cells to reveal a question.
3. To return to the main board, click on the “Diversity” icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
4. If the game is close, use the Double Diversity board.  To advance to the Double Diversity board, click the logo in the top-right (above “The Amazing Race”) of the main game board. This will take you to the Double Diversity! board (Board 2). 
After playing the game, discuss with the contestants why they believe they missed some of the questions.
Write a 500-word essay that evaluates the game play, your thoughts on why questions were correctly and incorrectly answered, and what you learned from the game. 
Assignment – Part 2:
Select three of the following five prompts.  Write a response of at least 300 words for each of the three prompts:

What was one of your earliest experiences concerning race? Describe the experience, how you felt, and how the experience was handled. If you could rewrite that experience, how would you change it and/ or how it was handled?
Explain the concept of “best practice” and what it means in the context of diversity strategy. What are the challenges of developing and implementing best practices? What are the potential benefits?
What are some of the ways that Pitney Bowes has aligned its goals for diversity with a market-driven approach to meeting its customers’ needs? Be specific.
What is/are the common theme(s) between the Bowman exercise and the Miner article?
Review the author’s list of 46 examples of white privilege. Critically evaluate which of these indicate white privilege and which might be artifacts of other forces (market forces, personal choice, etc.). 

 Submit both Assignments in the same document.
Assignment Expectations:

Why is it important to engage employees in implementing an employee assistance program? 

The role of human resources in creating total rewards that meet employees’ wants and needs is important for attracting talent, retaining top performers, promoting employee satisfaction, and much more. Communicating total rewards offerings to top talent assists with understanding the value of all the monetary and non-monetary rewards an organization provides. From benefits to compensation, what total rewards do you value most? Is there anything from the readings in Module Five and Six that stood out to you as something you would love in an organization? 
Before you begin, review the examples of total rewards packages from various companies in the Resources section of this module.  
Then, for your initial post, address the following: 

Identify three different examples of compensation or benefits that would matter most to you when considering a job offer. Be sure to explain why each would be important to you. 
Identify three examples of compensation or benefits that would not matter to you when considering a job offer. Explain why. 

Finally, respond to at least two of your peers by assuming the role of an HR professional at a company trying to create a total rewards program. Specifically, be sure to address the following: 

How could you use the information your peers shared about how they rank various benefits to inform the decisions you make in designing, implementing, and managing a total rewards program?  
What other factors will influence how you perform your HR functions related to total rewards? 

Textbook: Fundamentals of Human Resource Management, Chapter 14 opens in new window, sections LO 14.6, LO 14.7, LO 14.8, and LO 14.9 In these sections, you will learn how organizations can use benefits to match employees’ wants and needs, how to choose the contents of an employ benefits package, how to design and administer benefit programs, and how to effectively communicate the nature and value of benefits to employees. As you read, consider the following:  

Why is it beneficial to match benefits to an employee’s wants and needs? 
What do HR professionals need to consider when choosing benefits for a total rewards program? Why? 
Why do legal regulations affect the design and administration of total rewards? 
Why is the way that HR professionals communicate the nature and value of benefits important? 

Reading: Rethinking Total Reward Strategies opens in new window In this article, you will explore how employees’ diverse and changing preferences directly impact the administration of total rewards. As you read, consider the following: 

Why do total rewards impact employee retention? 
What are current trends in employees’ preferences for total rewards offerings? 
How and why are total rewards mixed and matched to meet workforce needs?  

Reading: How an Employee Assistance Program Benefits Your Company opens in new window An Employee Assistance Program is an employee benefit program that assists employees with personal and professional needs to improve their wellness, job performance, emotional well-being, and mental health. This article dives deeper into the value of these programs and explores relevant trends. As you read, consider the following: 

What is the role of HR professionals in managing employee assistance programs? 
Why is it important to engage employees in implementing an employee assistance program? 
Why is it beneficial to design an employee assistance program that encompasses wellness, job performance, emotional well-being, and mental health options? 

Examples of Total Rewards PackagesThe following list is a collection of total rewards packages from three different organizations. These resources will help you complete the discussion in this module. 

Describe the challenges that the LGBTQ+ communities face in the community.

1. 
Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals and Generic Human Services Professional Competencies adopted by the National Organization for Human Services do not include language or competencies specific to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. Without a specific ethical code and/or competency outlined by the field, human services practitioners do not have clear guidelines for their work with these populations. Additionally, researchers lack a way to formally measure professionals’ abilities with these populations. This leaves potential for these historically marginalized populations to continue to be in a vulnerable position. To address these needs, established competencies in other helping professions (i.e., counseling and social work fields) relative to LGBT populations, and argue that creating LGBT specific competencies in the human services field will lead to more competent practice and support the purpose of ethical guidelines which in part is to serve as a basis for self-monitoring and improving practice.
Advancing the human services field by developing specific LGBT competencies offers an opportunity to set the standard for working with these populations and contributes to establishing a preventative culture. A preventative culture encompasses an ethics ideology which has a focus on preventing recurring ethical issues by developing ethical guidelines and quality control measures to address systemic gaps. The ultimate goal of this culture is to minimize or prevent future conflicts and improve service delivery to these populations. Through the establishment of a preventative ethics culture in the human services field, organizations could better plan for situations that require intervention. Specific LGBT ethical codes and/or competencies would address this call by supporting the intent of ethical guidelines which are to educate professionals, and provide a framework for professional accountability, while serving as a basis for self-monitoring and improving practice.
2.  LGBTQ+ communities face many challenges. They are discriminated against and bullied. They must worry about being accepted by their families and friends when they “ come out.” Many members of this community have thought about suicide. Not knowing how to cope with this, some abuse substances. Members of the LGBTQ+ community do not seek professional mental help or medical help due to fear of being judged. Many older Americans are stuck in their ways and believe in traditional relationships. Also, religion plays a significant role in accepting LGBTQ+ people.“Discrimination in health care settings endangers LGBTQ people’s lives through delays or denials of medically necessary care. For example, after one patient with HIV disclosed to a hospital that he had sex with other men, the hospital staff refused to provide his HIV medication. In another case, a transgender teenager who was admitted to a hospital for suicidal ideation and self-inflicted injuries was repeatedly misgendered and then discharged early by hospital staff. He later committed suicide.” (Director et al., 2022)
There are many programs to help LGBTQ+ people against bullying and discrimination and to help them find the medical help they deserve. There are laws to protect people from being discriminated against. Knowing where these programs are for your area is vital for human service professionals.Organizations can increase LGBTQ+ inclusion by making gender-neutral bathrooms. Pride month is June, and celebrating LGBTQ+ people shows inclusion. Training employees on diversity can help eliminate the terrible stigma against LGBTQ. Employers should make sure promotions are equal across the board.Everyone is human, and just because someone believes differently doesn’t mean they are wrong. The world needs diversity. Everyone brings something different to the table. Sexual orientation doesn’t determine work quality and should not matter. Understanding your client makes it easier for them to trust you.
Should religious people discriminate against someone because their sexual preference differs from their beliefs? 

Analyze ways in which leaders and managers can effectively initiate, shape, and support organizational change.

 
Write internal report that assesses specific change factors you have observed within a selected organization to determine a specific change recommendation and the potential benefits that would come with its implementation.
Introduction
It is important to be able to accurately diagnose the higher priority needs for change in organizations and to develop a high-level process for initiating that change. In this assessment, you will analyze the factors driving change and how these change factors impact an organization of your choice. The emphasis here is not on how to change but on what to change and why.
Preparation
Do the following:

Choose an organization. This can be where you currently work or an organization with which you are familiar.
Select a change model that best applies to a change needed in your selected organization. If you are unfamiliar with organizational change models, you may choose to use those in the Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit text.
Research your selected change model and John Kotter’s 8-step model. Use the Capella University Library to find three to five resources to support your assessment.

Scenario
After your recent success heading up a staff development initiative, your supervisor’s boss has asked that you devote part of your time each week to supporting a task force that explores opportunities for positive change within the organization. After an initial orientation meeting with the rest of the change task force, you have been asked to create an internal report in which you assess specific change factors that you have observed within the organization to determine a specific change recommendation and the potential benefits that would come with its implementation.
Your Role
Imagine that you work in any organization you choose in any position you like. For the sake of simplicity, you may choose to imagine your present position at a company where you already work. Whatever your other responsibilities, you are now also tasked with providing change leadership within the organization.
Requirements
Using Kotter’s 8-step model and one other change model of your choice, write a report in which you analyze aspects of the change needed for your chosen organization. Include the following in your analysis:

Describe a change challenge facing the selected organization to sustain success.
List the factors that are driving change for this selected organization.
Identify the type of change that is needed for the selected organization.

You may find Figure 3.1 in the Mastering the Challenges of Leading Change text useful for this identification.

Assess the organization’s readiness for change and ways to heighten awareness. Use the force field analysis model for this assessment. You may use the Force Field Analysis Template [DOC] to guide your work.
Articulate recommendations for change for the selected organization. These are recommendations you would eventually deliver to the organization’s executive leadership team. Make sure you support your recommendations with research. Remember, the emphasis here is not on how to change but on what to change, and why.

Your analysis should be written coherently to support a central idea, in appropriate APA format, with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a business professional.
Deliverable Format
In your last meeting with the rest of the change task force, it was collectively agreed that your recommendation would take the form of an internal report that could be shared with other stakeholders within the company. This report should be 5–7 pages, so that you have enough space to develop your ideas and provide some academic support. Since you plan to share your report with the rest of the change task force, your supervisor’s boss, and other internal stakeholders, you want this document to be well organized and readable.
Internal Report requirements:

References: Support the analysis in your report with 3–5 academic resources from the Capella University Library. You must use proper APA style to list your references.
Length: 5–7 pages, in addition to the references list.
Written communication: Demonstrate graduate-level writing skills through accurate communication of thoughts that convey the overall goals of the analysis and do not detract from the message.
Formatting: Use APA formatting, including correct in-text citations, proper punctuation, double spacing throughout, proper headings and subheadings, no extra line spaces before headings and subheadings, proper paragraph and block indentation, no bolding, one-inch margins all around, and no bullets.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

Evaluation
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:

Competency 1: Assess the complex and dynamic nature of organizational change.

Describe a change challenge facing the selected organization to sustain success.
List the factors that are driving this selected organization’s change.

Competency 2: Analyze ways in which leaders and managers can effectively initiate, shape, and support organizational change.

Assess the organization’s readiness for change and ways to heighten awareness.

Competency 3: Analyze the processes of change in people, groups, and organizations.

Describes the type of change that is needed for the selected organization.
Articulate recommendations for change for the selected organization.

Competency 5: Communicate effectively in a professional manner.

Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for business professionals.

Faculty will use the scoring guide to review your deliverable as if he or she were your immediate supervisor. Review the scoring guide prior to developing and submitting your assessment.

Explain the relationship between personal integrity and ethical leadership, and between ethical leadership and positive organizational outcomes.

 
Prepare an 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation for a group of managers. Explain the relationship between personal integrity and ethical leadership, and between ethical leadership and positive organizational outcomes. Explain the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice and how these principles guide ethical health care leadership practices.
Introduction
As you prepare for your career, it is important to build a foundational understanding of the basic ethical theories directly related to health care management. It is important to infuse ethical knowledge and principles throughout an organization to effectively address challenging situations in all aspects of management, leadership, strategic planning, and decision making.
You should also understand the relationship between personal value systems and ethical management practice. The concept of moral integrity is a basis for professional actions and leads to positive business outcomes. Of course, there are personal ethical challenges that might present barriers in maintaining long-term, consistent success as a moral leader; therefore, the development of a personal moral compass and ethical bottom line can be useful in guiding your career.
Autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice are examples of the ethical principles most commonly used by health care leaders in organizational management planning, problem-solving, and decision making. Effective managers refer directly to these ethical principles for preventing and resolving issues related to all aspects of business.
While these principles appear to be relatively easy to define, the challenge for health care leaders is in their appropriate application. An effective leader develops knowledge, understanding, and skills in ethical leadership through observation, practice, and reflection on experiences and outcomes. The constant, and often profound, changes in our health care system create continuous learning opportunities to develop moral leadership qualities and skills. Each sector of the health care system presents different needs and situations related to each of the ethical principles, although some applications are universal.
Preparation
Suppose the health care organization where you work has determined that most employees are unclear about the differences between ethics and morality, and professional ethics and personal ethics. As a mid-level manager, you have been asked to develop and present a lunch-and-learn session on ethics for other managers within the organization.
Review the resources provided and conduct your own search for scholarly and professional resources on ethical principles and theories. Find at least three authoritative resources you can use to support your work on this assessment.
The format for this assessment is an 8–10 slide PowerPoint presentation. Please use the notes section of each slide to expand the points on the slide. Be sure your presentation is appropriate for the audience and presents the required aspects clearly. Follow APA guidelines for any in-text citations and your references. You must include a title slide and a references slide. You do not need to record yourself giving the presentation.
Instructions
Prepare an 8–10 slide PowerPoint presentation for managers in a health care organization. Include the following:

Explain the relationship between personal moral integrity and ethical leadership in health care. Be sure you also consider how these concepts differ and the role of health care managers in ensuring that ethics are an integral element in their leadership.
Explain the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice.
Explain how these principles guide health care leadership practices.
Explain the relationship between ethical health care leadership and positive outcomes for the organization.

Additional Requirements

Include a title slide and references slide.
Number of slides: 8–10.
At least three current scholarly or professional resources.
APA format for citations and references.
Consider the target audience and feel free to be creative.

Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

Discuss the implications of a biblical worldview and Christian philosophy for practical application to the overall field of education.

EDLC 504
Biblical Worldview Paper Assignment Instructions

Overview

The
Biblical Worldview Paper Assignment is course-embedded into every degree program in Liberty University’s School of Education (SOE). Its purpose is to carry out LU’s mission to provide an education with a solid Christian foundation and to ensure that every SOE program completer understands the implications of a biblical worldview for the field of education. While there are other assignments that require candidates to write a personal philosophy of education, that is not necessarily the intent of this particular assignment. The goal of this activity is for candidates to accomplish the following:

· Convey an understanding of what is meant by a biblical worldview.
· Support and illustrate this understanding by citing the Bible and other literature on the topic of biblical worldview.
· Apply principles of a biblical worldview to educational practice.
· Articulate key components of a Christian philosophy of education, citing from the Bible and other literature on the topic of Christian philosophy of education.
Because the SOE embeds this assignment into every degree program—i.e., bachelor, master, education specialist (Ed.S.), and doctorate (Ed.D)—it is likely that candidates who earn multiple degrees from LU’s SOE will be required to complete the assignment multiple times. Especially in the Ed.S. and Ed.D. degrees, the Biblical Worldview Assignment may be required for more than one course. Candidates who are required to complete the assignment more than once may resubmit the initial assignment but are encouraged to revise as needed. For example, expectations for undergraduate and graduate writing levels are different; therefore, the composition of the paper may need to be strengthened with the repeated submission. Also, check the assignment directions and rubric to ensure that you are meeting the present course’s specific requirements.

Mission of Liberty University: This assignment advances LU’s mission by promoting “the synthesis of academic knowledge and Christian worldview in order that there might be a maturing of spiritual, intellectual, social and physical value-driven behavior” and by encouraging “a commitment to the Christian life, one of personal integrity, sensitivity to the needs of others, social responsibility and active communication of the Christian faith, and, as it is lived out, a life that leads people to Jesus Christ as the Lord of the universe and their own personal Savior.”

Instructions

Write a 4-page paper in current APA format that conveys your understanding of what is meant by a biblical worldview and a Christian philosophy of education. Also, discuss the implications of these principles in their application to educational practice. Page length requirement begins with the introductory paragraph and ends with the conclusion; it includes neither the title page nor the reference page. An abstract is not required. In addition to the Bible, cite a minimum of four references that represent the body of literature supporting and explaining biblical worldview and Christian philosophy of education. No more than 10% of the paper is to include direct quotes; therefore, you should do much more summarizing and paraphrasing than quoting. Citations are required both for direct quotes and for summarized ideas drawn from references. The format of the paper is to include the sections below with headings that follow current APA format.
·
Title Page

·
Introduction

Present a strong, clear thesis statement. The focus of this paragraph is to introduce the reader to the thesis statement. The remainder of the paper should support and illustrate the main point(s) of the thesis statement.
·
Biblical Worldview

Based upon your readings of the Bible and literature on the topic of biblical worldview, convey a basic understanding of the elements of a worldview that is based distinctively on a perspective of life drawn from Judeo-Christian scriptures. Do not focus on the field of education in this section. A common error is for writers to neglect the discussion of a biblical worldview by focusing too much on the field of education, which is to be addressed in subsequent sections of the paper.
·
Christian Philosophy of Education

Based upon your readings of the Bible and literature on the topic of Christian philosophy of education, convey a basic understanding of the elements of an educational philosophy that is based distinctively on a perspective drawn from Judeo-Christian scriptures. Address metaphysical and axiological issues. Metaphysical issues relate to questions of meaning and purpose. Axiological issues relate to questions of values. Minimize the discussion of practical application to the field of education in this section. A common error is for writers to neglect the discussion of a Christian philosophy of education by focusing too much on the implications for educational practice, which will be addressed in the subsequent section.
·
Implications for Educational Practice

Discuss the implications of a biblical worldview and Christian philosophy for practical application to the overall field of education. Ensure that you discuss these implications for the field in general, but you may also proceed to specify implications for your particular area of interest. For example, if you are preparing to serve as a content area teacher, a special education teacher, an administrator, or a school counselor, you may—after addressing implications for the overall field of education—address implications for your area of service.
·
Conclusion

An effective conclusion affirms the thesis statement and leaves the reader with a clear idea of how thoughts in the paper fit together to make a specific point.
·
Reference Page

List here at least 4 references in addition to the Bible.

One your references is to be the course textbook.

Submission: Submit the document in the course submission area and in LiveText. It will not be graded until it is submitted in both locations. In the course submission area, the assignment will be checked by Turnitin for plagiarism. It will be graded in LiveText using the embedded rubric there.

View the
Biblical Worldview Paper Assignment Resources for additional information related to Biblical and Christian worldviews.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
