Technology has opened the door for flexibility within the workplace. Assume that I am your manager, and write a memo convincing me to implement workplace flexibility in our business. You can decide what type of business we have; I would suggest using the type of job that you hope to have once you finish your degree. Make sure to provide research that supports your arguments. Included in your memo should be a specific request for the type of flexibility that you desire; explain how that will work within your office, and make sure to address any potential problems and how they would be dealt with. There is no minimum length for this assignment, but you need to convince me that it is a mutually beneficial arrangement (hint, this is usually about 1.5-2 pages minimum). You should have several sources to support your argument, show me that this has worked for other companies, and explain the benefits to the company. This memo does not have to be formatted as an APA paper, but please put a title page on it that will act as the cover page. Assignment must be submitted as a .doc or .docx (Microsoft Word) file. Any assignment submitted in any other format will automatically be given a 0 as the final score

I will add the prompt and rubric given to me. I tend to struggle with writing and getting started often I worry that I am using a incorrect format. I typically do better when given an example to use as a reference but I have not had one provided for this assignment and have had some mental blocks that keep telling me I am doing it all wrong. Would you be able to assist me in getting through this assinment? This paper is about being a consumer of information. The topic of the paper is information seeking behavior and the administration of the current President of the United States. Part I. The Administration In this section of the paper write a detailed description of how you are (intentionally or unintentionally) receiving information about the administration of the President of the United States. In this part of the paper, be sure to address the following…. Conversationally (people talking about it)? Older technologies (such as television, radio, print newspapers/magazines)? Newer technologies (computers, phones, tablets through online news, social media, video clips, etc.). Is most of the information you are receiving serious? Satire/jokes? Do you attempt evaluate the truthfulness of the news to which you are exposed? If so, how do you go about that? How do you evaluate the accuracy/strength of the information you receive about the current president/administration? How has the sharing of political messages changed with the advent of new information technologies? In general, what is your favorite source of U.S. political information? Part II. Information-Seeking Behavior Pick one of the current hot button political topics (health care law, global warming, immigration, gun control, pandemic response, abortion) and search for information on where the current administration and their political opponents stand on this issue. In this section you will write about: How did you go about searching (what technology did you use? What search interface (Google? other?). What keywords did you use? How successful was your searching? Did it take several searches to find the information? How many? How did you decide to revise your search strategy for better results? Choose one of the information behavior models outlined in chapter 12 of your textbook. Apply that model to your information searching. Did your personal searching process fit the assumptions of the model? In what way did the model fit and/or not fit? Did the sources you used in Part II correspond with the sources you found to be most credible in Part I? Remember! Any time you use a source outside your own brain, you must cite it. You may use APA, MLA, or Chicago style citations. More information about these citation styles can be found at https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/resources.htm and citation/resources.htm. I have provided a rubric to help you insure that you are meeting all requirements for this paper. Pay special attention to the "Use of Model" section. This is where students lose the most points. In addition, make sure you look at the "Adherence to Requirements" section. I would hate for you to lose points over a requirement that is easy to meet. Formatting Guidelines Use a Title page, Times New Roman 12 font, 1 inch margins and double spaced. Paper will use essay format (not bulleted list) and be 1,200 words minimum. Have an introduction paragraph and a conclusions paragraph that tie the paper together. (While I recommend breaking your paper up into Part I and Part II, your introduction and conclusion should tie it all together.) Cite your sources! If you include facts of any kind (and you should), you must cite your source. You may use any citation style you wish but you should include in-text citations and a works cited or references page. I will count off points if you state facts without citing a source. If you have not at least cited your textbook, you will lose points.

Learning Outcomes CO 3: Evaluate the possible consequences of poorly reasoned actions. LO 3.1: Examine the outcomes of various whistleblower situations. CO 4: Examine differences in actions and outcomes based on the status of stakeholders. LO 4.1: Differentiate relevant stakeholders and possible consequences of poorly reasoned actions related to whistleblowing. CO 5: Critique different levels of responsibility relevancy for various stakeholders. LO 5.1: Justify suitable actions to bring about morally justifiable outcomes related to whistleblowing. Please find an article or news story about some whistle-blowing situation. Please do not use high-profile cases like Snowden or Manning. If you can find the same story described by different sources all the better. Do not use some personal experience unless it was discussed in credible new sources. I need to be able to verify the account. Then, using the attached worksheet, discuss the case. Specifically, after telling me about the case in a concise paragraph, you will identify all of the key stakeholders and how you feel they were impacted. For example, if someone released company records and emails to blow the whistle, discuss whose emails and how the information led to actions against them. If no one was negatively impacted, then why use it for this case study? Discuss the final outcome (see directions), and most importantly, use your moral compass to describe or explain why you feel someone’s actions were morally wrong. DO NOT attempt to work out what any of the actors involved were thinking or what motivation they may or may not have had. What matters is ONLY your beliefs about whether the actions were morally right or wrong. Use named moral theories to support your position. Again, if there was no wrongdoing, why was some whistle blown? Finally, imagine you are in a leadership position. What could you reasonably do to keep the situation from happening again and prevent someone from feeling a need to blow the whistle? Depending on the situation, you may feel the real wrongdoer is the whistleblower. If so, then describe why what the company/government did or is doing is justified, again using your moral theories.

When writing the essay, try not to make it so wordy. Make sure you also cite the correct sources with the correct quotations. Write a short, five-page double-spaced typed (processes) essay: Social Responsibility in Emerson’s “Self-Reliance” and Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience”. Draw upon brief but key passages from the assigned works of Emerson, Thoreau in support of your analysis and interpretation of the topic. Use short quotations worked into the text of your own analytical sentences to provide support for the paragraphs. You should have key quotations from the readings in each body paragraph! You may also bring into the discussion any relevant information as long as you cite the source within your paragraphs. Each topic sentence should be a claim that adds support to your thesis. "A" grade papers must include references to readings accessed in the “Basic Concepts” materials and cited in the body of the paper as they are introduced. Structure of the Essay The paper should be organized as a traditional thesis-support essay. The thesis should identify the key points that you plan to discuss. For "A" credit, the paper must be a full five pages long and include references to the “Study Guides” and relevant “Basic Concepts,” in addition to key short quotations from the assigned readings, each appropriately cited according to the MLA Style Sheet conventions. Content of the Essay 1) Begin the body of your essay with a brief introduction to the selections in our text or other relevant outside information. Draw upon notes from your introduction, citing your editor(s) as the author. 2) Use short quotations worked into the text of your own analytical sentences to provide support for the paragraphs. You may also bring into the discussion any relevant outside information as long as you cite the source within your paragraphs. 3) Each topic sentence should be a claim that adds support to your thesis.
