Module 06 Content Step 1: Case Scenario Read the following case first; then proceed to the next steps. Jim and Mary work in the same department for a company. Mary is a new employee. Jim has worked at the company for 11 years. Both employees have the same job title and do the same job. The nature of their work dictates that they have to work together. Jim believes if something works or if a procedure has been successful then it should not be altered. Jim likes to do things the way they have always been done. His personality is such that he is very outspoken. Because he's been with the company 11 years, he ”free lances” at times when it comes to company policy is comfortable with his performance. Simply put, Jim thinks he knows how to do things better. He will share his opinion on the best way to complete a task, even if his coworkers do not ask for his input. Mary tries hard to follow company rules. Mary is a very quiet person and doesn't say much at work. Mary has conservative and traditional values. So when the policy is that employees must clock in within 5 minutes of the start of their shifts, Mary always adheres to the rule. Employees are supposed to clock in at their own buildings, but there isn't any way to check this as the company has employees working at multiple sites. Jim has developed the habit of clocking in at another building when he is running behind so he won't be docked for being late. Jim has begun getting late to his work station at least 10 minutes on most days. At least a couple of times each week, somebody asks Mary where Jim is because they are supposed to be working together. Mary has been covering for Jim for a long time; however, she now feels that she is being taken advantage of rather than just being a good coworker. She is tired of covering for Jim. Finally, one morning, Jim is 20 minutes late. Mary has to cover for Jim twice that day. When Jim finally arrives at work, Mary tells him she will not make excuses for him anymore. Jim says, "Hey, I clocked in at the other building. I've been doing that for years so what is your problem? As long as you don't say anything, nobody will ever know. Just shut the %&# up and do your job." Mary feels betrayed and she and Jim start shouting at each other. You are the supervisor and you walk in just as it looks like Jim is going to hit Mary. Step 2: Reflection Part Ask yourself: As team supervisor for this company, what would you do? After you have thought through your position on this scenario, apply your thinking to this week’s philosophers and complete Step 3 - the writing part of this
Please review: Required and recommended readings and videos for Module 1 and also find your own sources that discuss the US commitment to human rights, democracy and preventing Genocide and mass atrocities. Respond to only one of the following prompts: What is the role of human rights in American foreign policy and diplomacy? Why is it important to promote human rights internationally? Do you think the US and other Western powers promote these rights to an appropriate level? Why or why not? Human rights were originally written to apply in all contexts equally and to apply a higher standard for all individual governments. However, this can challenge state sovereignty. What is the relationship between state sovereignty and human rights? Ultimately, which is more important? How can states best navigate the potential disagreements between sovereignty and human rights? *Discussions are worth 60 % of your final grade. Discussions will serve as writing practice for your other major assignments. Your writing should be direct and succinct. Your statements or points of view should be supported by evidence from the required and recommended readings.

Essay can be strengthened with the use of more specific examples of that you then use the authors to support, rather than summarizing the authors and providing a broad example as a side. It is important that you cite the readings discussed and add the bibliography at the end. You can use any citing format that you prefer (APA, Chicago, Harvard, etc.).

Having a clear argument presented in the introduction with one or two supporting points, which they are supposed to develop through the essay, as well as a clear conclusion where the main argument and points are recapitulated. Citing authors in text and adding references at the end (any format) and complying with the minimum page extension. Complying with the minimum number of authors that I ask for in the prompt. Having a coherent argumentation throughout the essay (the authors cited and/or cases used support the main argument and are connected).
