...Coddling of the American Mind,” Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt state that the use of trigger warnings on college campuses are having unintended consequences. A trigger warning is used by a professor to notify students when they are about to discuss material that has the potential to be upsetting or offensive. Lukianoff and Haidt believe that these trigger warnings have been put in place to appease the student’s demands for a safe space where they can learn. The article opens by stating. “a movement is arising, undirected, and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that may cause discomfort or give offense.” The authors argue that this movement stems from a generation that feels entitled to the right to not be offended. This has led to a social environment where professors and students alike feel fearful to speak their mind freely. The trigger warnings these professors are using exasperate the current atmosphere of extreme political correctness. In the view of Lukianoff and Haidt, these trigger warnings are gasoline on the fire. Their claim is that the warnings lead to unforeseen consequences. The warnings lead to the censorship of controversial or challenging ideas. Due to this fact, this generation of students are graduating college ill prepared for the real world. To even further their claim, Lukianoff and Haidt state that trigger warnings lead to increased anxiety and mental illness. The author’s write about how simply...

...flcfReflection Paper #1 Inez Burrell March 19, 2013 The Experiential Learning Activity served as a significant tool to put the process of conflict mapping into perspective. Conflict mapping is a type of model that simplifies a complex social conflict such as the ones taking place in Voinjama, Liberia. It emphasizes the most important elements and systematically asks questions about issues, parties, strategies, and key components. When developing a conflict map, it is also important to focus on the parties’ grievances, trigger events, and root causes of the conflict. Although conflict mapping is used to facilitate the analysis of the conflict, it can actually make the process harder since there are so many possible answers. Each person analyzing the conflict may have different viewpoints for the components that make up that specific conflict as a whole. There are no right or wrong answers because each idea could be vital in solving the specific problems in that conflict. The reality of this became applicable during the Experiential Learning Activity because each group felt differently about the specific issues going on in Liberia. During the Experiential Learning Activity, the class was split into teams in order to analyze the conflict through the use of conflict mapping. As a group, it was decided that the parties involved in the conflict were the Mandingo and Loma. However, looking at the conflict in a broader sense it was decided...

...I agree with Fred’s decision to use a thrid party vendor to conduct the training for the hardware store. Training activities need to be aligned with the organization’s strategy to be effective (Blanchard & Thacker, 2010). Persons of leadership should determine the strategy but they should not rule out the input that could be beneficial from lower level employees. The management team met and discussed its strategic response and determined that the hardware store would focus on particular items and make personalized service the cornerstone of its effort (Blanchard & Thacker, 2010). Now that the target training areas are identified you can determine who will be doing the training and using what strategy. Fred decided to use an outsourcing strategy. This strategy employs outside training vendors for all, or almost all, training activities and provides a flexible way of meeting changing and diverse training needs with professionally developed and administered programs. (Blanchard & Thacker, 2010). It is imperative to isolate who needs to be trained and who will be doing the training. Key things when finding a trainer is to find out their background, work experience, clients, customers, etc. To be effective, the training process is not as easy as it comes across. There are many strategies and concepts at your disposal but the challenging part is deciding which one to use. In this case it was deciding the best training package to utilize. Before choosing a training package...

...Internal Report To: Date: 2012. From: Introduction Company name has experienced a bout of rapid growth recently due to the success of various projects and securing Contracts. Due to the growth within the organisation over the last 12 months, I predict that current absence monitoring procedures and policies need to be introduced or in some cases simply enforced as I suspect the absence costs are rising, where financial savings can easily be made, along with improvements for our employees regarding how their absence is being managed from their line managers. How I collated and analysed my data See below chart: By obtaining staff figures, per department (total employed and absence) for the past two years I was able to total these and compare each year, I was then able to identify how the absence rates have changed. As you can see, the absence has risen by over 50%, within my findings I will explain why I believe this increase has occurred and what procedures can be implemented to improve them. Department | Staff Numbers2011 | Days Absence 2011 | Staff Numbers2012 | Days Absence 2012 | Accounts | 5 | 23 | 8 | 27 | Contracts | 10 | 18 | 12 | 24.5 | Warehouse | 4 | 3 | 7 | 17 | Housekeeping | 2 | 18 | 3 | 30 | HR | 2 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Marketing | 2.5 | 2 | 3.5 | 6 | Purchasing | 2 | 8 | 4 | 24.5 | Waste Disposal | 6 | 25 | 8 | 27 | Sales | 12 | 28 | 13 | 30 | TOTAL | 45.5 | 128 | 61.5 | 191 | My Findings The column below compares absence figures from 2011 and...

...Chapter 7 For this assignment, we will create and use a database for the Wedgewood Pacific Corporation (WPC), which is located in two buildings. One building houses the Administration, Accounting, Finance, and Human Resources departments, and the second houses the Production, Marketing, and Information Systems departments. The company database contains data about employees; departments; projects; assets, such as computer equipment; and other aspects of company operations. The database will be named WPC and will contain the following four tables: DEPARTMENT (DepartmentName, BudgetCode, OfficeNumber, Phone) EMPLOYEE (EmployeeNumber, FirstName, LastName, Department, Phone, Email) PROJECT (ProjectID, Name, Department, MaxHours, StartDate, EndDate) ASSIGNMENT (ProjectID, EmployeeNumber, HoursWorked) EmployeeNumber is a surrogate key that starts at 1 and increments y 1. ProjectID is a surrogate key that starts at 1000 and increases by 100. DepartmentName is the text name of the department, and is therefore not a surrogate key. The WPC database has the following referential integrity constraints: Department in EMPLOYEE must exist in Department in DEPARTMENT Department in PROJECT must exist in Department in DEPARTMENT ProjectID in ASSIGNMENT must exist in ProjectID in PROJECT EmployeeNumber in ASSIGNMENT must exist in EmployeeNumber in EMPLOYEE The relationship from EMPLOYEE to ASSIGNMENT is 1:N, M-O and the relationship from PROJECT to ASSIGNMENT is 1:N, M-O.

...symptom is trigger points. Trigger points are areas of highly sensitive muscle tissue prone to spasm and pain (sometimes referred) upon palpation. Myofascial pain is related to strains or injuries to the muscle tissue or strenuous use of muscles after a period of sedentary activity such as after having a stroke or breaking a bone. (Webmd.com, 2013) Most often, myofascial pain affects areas of the spine; lower back, shoulders, and neck. Myofascial pain is identified or diagnosed by a physician upon completion of a physical exam involving questions surrounding the onset of the symptoms. Which include tender muscles, pain that happens with pressure on a trigger point, weakness in the affected area and sometimes limitation to the range-of-motion of the affected area. (Cleveland Clinic, 2013) Causes are suspect related to stress; stress is probably the biggest factor. Poor posture combined with overuse of muscles is also suspected contributors to the cause of myofascial pain and trigger point sensitivities. Conventional treatment for myofascial pain and trigger points include physical therapy, which focusses on strengthening, stretching and posture improvement exercises. Medications can also be used like Non-Steroidal-Anti-Inflammatory (NSAIDs) drugs, analgesics like Tramadol® for mild-to-severe pain and benzodiazepines like Valium, which help relieve anxiety (stress) and muscle spasms. (Cleveland Clinic, 2013) Alternative therapies include acupuncture and trigger point injections...
