BUS520 Consensual Relationship Agreement case study 1 Introduction Consensual Relationship Agreement, “the legal name for the love contract” was introduced in 1998, in the wake of expensive court trial of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his white – house intern Monica Lewinsky, as employers grew cautious of the legal implication of workplace romances ( Selvin, 2007, para.9).

...Op-Ed Columnist The Odyssey Years By DAVID BROOKS Published: October 9, 2007 There used to be four common life phases: childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. Now, there are at least six: childhood, adolescence, odyssey, adulthood, active retirement and old age. Of the new ones, the least understood is odyssey, the decade of wandering that frequently occurs between adolescence and adulthood. Skip to next paragraph [pic] David Brooks The Way We Live Now During this decade, 20-somethings go to school and take breaks from school. They live with friends and they live at home. They fall in and out of love. They try one career and then try another. Their parents grow increasingly anxious. These parents understand that there’s bound to be a transition phase between student life and adult life. But when they look at their own grown children, they see the transition stretching five years, seven and beyond. The parents don’t even detect a clear sense of direction in their children’s lives. They look at them and see the things that are being delayed. They see that people in this age bracket are delaying marriage. They’re delaying having children. They’re delaying permanent employment. People who were born before 1964 tend to define adulthood by certain accomplishments — moving away from home, becoming financially independent, getting married and starting a family. In 1960, roughly 70 percent of 30-year-olds had achieved these things. By 2000, fewer than 40 percent...

...that while I’m doing so it helped me get comfortable with a computer. I used to explore the settings, the internet, and almost any program my mom had on the computer. In elementary school I got enrolled in a summer program that was dealing with computers. We made PowerPoints, typed papers in Microsoft Word, and even searched the web. This is when I got interested in computers and felt like I knew everything I could about computers. Oh was I wrong, this was nothing but it was pretty impressive that a kid of my age was so advanced. My mom eventually got a new computer and needed help hooking it up. It was funny because she went to use the bathroom before we started. Me being impatient and curious, I wondered if I could hook it up by myself. So I tried and surprisingly I hooked the whole computer up before my mom could even wash her hands. I felt good knowing I installed the computer by myself. That is when I asked my mom could I hook up computers as a job. No matter how good I was, it still came behind basketball. The thing that got me interested in Computer Engineering was when I needed a major that I could enjoy. I enjoy working with computers no matter how frustrating it can get sometimes. I ended up...

...Consensual Relationship Agreements Case Study By: Steven D. Gehring For: Dr. Nasser Assaf Class: Bus 520: Leadership and Organizational Behavior Date: 1 August 2012 Consensual Relationship Agreements Case Study P a g e | 2 “To date or not to date: that is the question: Whether it is nobler in the workplace to suffer the slings and arrows from outraged Human Resource personnel, Or to take the pen to their CRA and by signing love forever.” My apologies to William Shakespeare and his soliloquy from Hamlet (Act 3, Scene 1) but such is the state of affairs for many U.S. companies, human resource personnel and office personnel in today’s litigious world. Since of the days of World War II and later McCarthyism, women have moved into the U.S. work force in greater and greater numbers, filling positions ranging from oil field roustabout to mail room clerk to Chief Financial Officer and CEO. In the meantime, the U.S has experienced a major “sexual revolution” as well as associated changes in the attitudes affecting women in the work place. One of these is dating in the work place. Although no-dating policies are no longer the norm, the advent of anti-sexual harassment laws and the subsequent growth in the number and cost of lawsuits related to these laws, have lead the majority of companies to have in place policies that review the definition of sexual harassment, their company’s rules against it and the possible results to a person who engages in the sexual harassment...

...Peer Pressure in Adolescent Development Sondra Hotchkiss University of Guelph FRHD*2280 Adolescent Development March 28, 2014 For this reflection piece, I have chosen to reflect on the affects that peer pressure has on adolescents during development. I will briefly discuss what I have learned about peer pressure and why it tends to peak during mid-adolescence. Furthermore, I will discuss how peer pressure exists in a variety of teen television shows, including One Tree Hill. This example also demonstrates how other teens respond to peer pressure and how it is often connected with bullying. Finally, I will discuss how peer pressure can affect one’s ability to achieve both academically and socially in the school environment. According to the lecture notes (Glozman, lecture notes, FRHD*2280, January 9, 2014) adolescence is defined as a period of the life course between the time puberty begins and the time adult status is approached. During this stage, young people are in the process of preparing to take on the roles and responsibilities associated with adulthood in their culture. During adolescence, we have noticed that peers play a large role in a young person’s life and typically replace family as the center of a teen’s social and leisure activities. Often time’s adolescents have various peer relationships and interact with a wide range of peer groups. As adolescents begin to pull away from their parents in search for their own identity, their friends usually become a...

On the contrary, social networks had been studied from the beginning of 20th century with the aim to comprehend how the members of a certain community interact and which mechanism can determine the interaction itself. Today social networking commonly refers to all those activities that are carried out within specific online services that provides free space and software tools which allow to create networks of people. In other words, a social networking service is a Web site that allows individuals to construct a public or semi-public profile. The mechanism is the following: social networking services enable users to create a profile for themselves, by inserting their personal data. Users’ data are not only constituted by vital statistics, but they include a lot of other information which pertains to user hobbies, passions, interests, professional background and so on. This kind of personal data, all spontaneously provided by the user her/himself, permit to create interconnected networks of people who decide to put in common their interests and to have an online identity which fully describes them.

...Tyler Tesmen THST 400 4/19/15 What Does it Mean to Have a Pornography Addiction? In almost every major city you visit, on almost every commercial break during a televised show, you see sex. Sex and its appeal has become one of the most dominating marketing tools in today’s world. Anyone can watch a simple Carl’s Jr. commercial and see for themselves. As much as many people would like to abstain from these “immoral” and “impure” marketing schemes, it is often simply too difficult to overcome. As humans, we love sex; it crosses each one of our minds on almost a daily basis. It is ingrained in our very being through our hormones and genetic makeup to desire and lust for sex. And in today’s modern culture, pornography has become the medium by which people can fulfill their sexual desires and needs with hardly any effort. In the year 1997 only about 17% of the U.S. populous had internet access, while today that number has exploded to nearly 70%. It is hard to imagine a world today without internet access, and thus without pornography. It has become such a common aspect of so many people’s lives that it is often not even regarded as morally wrong among many people. What many people fail to realize is the negative impact that pornography, when used in an improper context, can have on one’s life: both sexually and with intimacy. Pornography puts the other sex in an objectifying manner, where it is purely a physical and lustful relation, without regards to the notion that real people...

...traditional marketing, advertising and media sales positions seem disinterested in a “seasoned” professional. Are you someone who has faced a similar experience? Perhaps you are a hiring manager who disregards qualified but older candidates when sifting through resumes. If you fall into either of these categories, then this article is for you. If you are an individual of a certain age, then the names Don Henley, Sting, David Lee Roth and Stevie Nicks will mean more to your than just “outstanding solo recording artist”. You will know that at one time, these stars were part of some incredible bands. You will also know that these superstars, despite experiencing massive successes with solo careers, have all opted to regroup, so to speak, hooking up with former band-mates to recreate music magic that is as worthy and sellable today as it was back in its heyday. Yes, EDM, hip-hop, rap and auto-tuned pop dominate the airwaves and I-Tunes playlists, and these genres generate massive record sales and concert and radio advertising revenues. But thanks to video games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, plus a generation of parents who drove their kids to school and selected the in-car musical entertainment, boomer-parented children not only recognize names like Boston, Steely Dan, Foreigner and Deep Purple, they know the lyrics and the melodies and will gladly attend concerts by such retro acts - with their parents! “Oldies” have been re-birthed!

...[BUILDING A BATTERY POWERED GUITAR AMPLIFIER] [Gray GS 1140] Darin Frank Darin Frank Gray GS1140 Building A Battery Powered Guitar Amp Intro: Since the invention of the guitar amplifier, it has operated on AC power. Since its creation in the early 1900’s, amplifiers have come a long way. We now have multiple name brand amplifiers, as well as boutique amplifier building companies. These all use power cords that allow them to function, and produce sound. So what if I told you the way you think of guitar amplifiers might be about to change? What would you say? Background: Over the past century guitar amplifiers have gone through multiple changes. First there were vacuum tube amplifiers dating back to the early 1900’s made by Gibson and Redenbacher, to the transistor/ Solid State amplifier created in the 1960’s. Then the world renowned Jim Marshall combined the two amplifier types in 1991, and the era of the Valve State amplifier was born. These have evolved into some of the best products imaginable, and have become one of the most controversial debates among musicians since the creation of the guitar amplifier. On January 14th, 2010 a brand new era of professional guitar amplifiers were introduced into the world of music. The first lithium battery powered 60watt Grid C-1 professional vacuum tube amplifier was viewed by the general population at Namm 2010. This amplifier is equipped with many great features such as: Tubes: | 2 Nos U.S.-made 1u4 mini...

I n late 1979, a twenty-four-year-old entrepreneur paid a visit to a research center in Silicon Valley called Xerox PARC. He was the co-founder of a small computer startup down the road, in Cupertino. His name was Steve Jobs. Xerox PARC was the innovation arm of the Xerox Corporation. It was, and remains, on Coyote Hill Road, in Palo Alto, nestled in the foothills on the edge of town, in a long, low concrete building, with enormous terraces looking out over the jewels of Silicon Valley. To the northwest was Stanford University’s Hoover Tower. To the north was Hewlett-Packard’s sprawling campus. www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/05/16/110516fa_fact_gladwell?printable=true¤tPage=all 1/12 10/29/13 Xerox PARC, Apple, and the Creation of the Mouse : The New Yorker All around were scores of the other chip designers, software firms, venture capitalists, and hardware-makers.

In 1970, Xerox had assembled the...
