Please watch the kids movie “Inside out” to write this paper. You can find it online in many websites its totally free. These are my teachers instructions:

Reflection Paper #2: drawn from the movie, “Inside Out”

1. Riley’s parents ask her to be their “happy girl” when they notice their daughter struggling. Do you feel it was appropriate for them to ask her to do this?
2. Riley was able to easily access some of her emotions. Which ones were those? What other emotions might Riley be hiding under her easily engaged emotions?
3.Why is it hard for Riley to tell her parents what she is really feeling?
4. What does it mean to have “mixed emotions” about something?
5. How do all of our emotions relate to each other? Is it possible to have joy without sadness? Why is it important to feel the full range of emotions?
6. Explain how temperament, gender and culture might impede the expression of some of the more difficult emotions.

Be careful. Answer each of these questions, but you do not need to necessarily answer them in the same order as asked. Be creative and weave your answers into a coherent reflection essay that uses references from the movie and reflects the meaning framed by this set of questions. Please do not number the questions and answer them like an essay test. The goal is to write a 2-3 page reflection paper, and the only reference you may need is the movie. If you do research on your own concerning any of these emotions or the movie, be sure to cite your sources.

In Assignment 2, you developed a project plan. Now, using the information from your project proposal, create a multi-level work breakdown structure (WBS) and detailed project schedule.
Your project must include the following criteria:
The project must consist of at least twenty-five (25) tasks.
Each task must contain a start date, a finish date, and have main staffing and non-staffing resources assigned.
Assume that your work activities are completed during normal weekdays (no weekend work) under normal conditions (8 hours per day).
In terms of holidays, you can assume no work will be done the following days: New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Good Monday, Friday before Memorial Day, Memorial Day, the business day before Independence Day, Independence Day, the Friday before Labor Day, Labor Day, the day before Thanksgiving Day, Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving), the business day before Christmas, Christmas Day, the business day after Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve.
Part B: Written Response
(Submit as a Microsoft Word file)

Write a one to two (1-2) page response in which you:

Analyze your project in terms of project completion, critical path, and slack / float. Specifically, be sure to answer the following:
When will the project be completed?
What is the critical path for the project?
How much slack / float is in your project? What activities have the greatest slack / float?
Summarize the recommendations or improvements you would make to your project schedule. Specifically, be sure to answer the following:
Identify the top three (3) activities that you believe could impact the project completion date.
What additional activities would you add to this project to make it more complete, from a project management viewpoint?
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

THIS IS THE PROPOSAL
Greendale Project
When will the project be completed?
The project is set to start on 2 November 2015 and will be completed on 25 August 2018. The project team will take a total duration of 694 days to complete construction of the baseball stadium.
What is the critical path for the project?
From the project plan developed, the project has two critical paths. The first project critical path consists of the following project tasks 2 – 5 – 6 – 9 – 10 -14 -15 – 20. The second critical path consists of the following tasks 2 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 10 -14 -15 – 20.
How much slack / float is in your project? What activities have the greatest slack / float?
In order to determine the project slack, the early start and late start times for each project needs calculation. The early start times are calculated in the forward direction of the project network diagram starting from the start point heading to the project finish. On the other hand, the late start times are calculated in the reverse direction of the project network starting from the finish point heading to the project start. The table below shows each project task, its duration, early start duration and late start duration. Project task for each task is calculated as Slack = Late start – Early start.

Task Name Duration Early Start Late Start Slack = LS – ES
Clear Stadium site 70 days 0 0 0
Demolish building 30 days 70 280 210
Set up construction site 70 days 100 625 525

Install roof tracks 90 days 400 495 95
Install roof tracks 90 days 580 585 5
Inspection 20 days 675 675 0
Table 1: Slack calculation for all tasks
Table 2 below shows the project tasks with the highest slack.
Task ID Task Slack
3 Demolish building 210
4 Set up construction site 525
8 Install playing field 275
11 Build luxury boxes 155
12 Install jumbotron 235
13 Stadium infrastructure 125
18 Install roof tracks 95
Table 2: Tasks with the highest slack
Identify the top three (3) activities that you believe could impact the project completion date.
The top three activities selected that nay have an impact on the project completion date are:
1. Task 2: Clear stadium site
2. Task 5: Drive support piling
3. Task 6: Pour lower concrete bowl
The reason for selecting this task is that they have zero slack and hence are critical path tasks. Any delay in these activities will lead to delays in other tasks and in turn affecting the project completion date.
What additional activities you would add to this project to make it more complete, from a project management viewpoint?
In order to make the project more complete I would include a project-planning phase. Project planning is one of the most critical steps in any project. During the planning phase, the project charter and objectives will be identified. Furthermore, the project needs assessment will be carried out during this stage in order to identify what the project needs to accomplish. The planning stage will also involve developing the project plan and budgeting. Lastly, during this stage the project sponsor needs to approve the project plan, charter, objectives, and budget.

Please upload to the Discussions section (Literature Review Progress Report) on Blackboard BY 10.30 on Thursday 12th November: your responses to the following questions.

In our class in the Computer Lab on Thursday you will be able to read the work of other students and ask questions, provide feedback, comment…

Context

What were you trying to find out? (What is your theme and what are your aims?)
How have you gone about it? (What are your methods?) (EbscoHost, interviews etc)
What is the scope of your research?
Why is this research significant and what is its ongoing relevance?
What is your interest in it?
What have the constraints been?

Literature Review

What are the debates and controversies around your theme?
What is your evaluation of [each of] of these?
And, if useful and applicable:

What accounts are there of its causes? What is your evaluation of each of these accounts?
What proposals are there for alleviation/further research? What is your evaluation of these?

Sources Consulted:

List the sources you have consulted
Which have been most helpful in guiding your thinking about this topic?
What gaps are there still in your knowledge?
How will you fill these gaps?

Tentative Statement of Position

In the light of your research so far, where are you?
Is there anything that is missing or inadequately developed?
What possible future developments, courses of action or further research can you see?

INSTRUCTIONS:

Your final product may be no longer than two, double spaced, typed pages. You are permitted to do it with a partner. The two partners’ names shall appear on the top of the first page and each will receive the same grade regardless of the contribution each partner. You may NOT complete the assignment with the person whom you worked on a previous exercise.

Each paper should consist of no more than 7 paragraphs. The first and last paragraphs should introduce and summarize your analysis. The “middle paragraphs” should be the essence of the paper. One sentence (generally the last one) in each of the middle paragraphs should either be in bold or underlined to emphasize the main point of the paragraph. You should write those “main point” sentences first. Then build your middle paragraphs around each of them. Finally after you complete the middle paragraphs, draft your first and last paragraphs, to provide structure for the middle paragraphs.

No paragraph should be longer than 6 sentences. Most will be around four sentences. Most sentences should be no longer than 8 words.

The exercise requires no research. Since the problem is largely fictional and hypothetical, research would probably be more counterproductive than helpful. It is mandatory for all students. No late papers will be accepted. Keep a copy of your paper in the event your original is misplaced.

PROBLEM Assume that Congress enacted and the President signed legislation authorizing the U. S. security forces to deploy “drones” to drop bombs on suspected terrorist targets in Syria and Iraq. The authorization was limited to six months. Where drone strikes have been used elsewhere in the Middle East they have killed large numbers of civilians. The strikes have stirred deep resentment in the Middle East and generally contributed to a negative perception of the United States. Amnesty International, a prominent human rights advocacy group, found that a disproportionate number of victims were unarmed and alleged that some strikes amounted to war crimes.

The six month authorization for drone warfare is coming to an end. American security forces wish to continue the program rather than subject American pilots to the risk of counterattacks from surface to air missiles. Military strategists believe that drone strikes are essential to weakening the terrorist cells.

However Congress is wary of continuing the drone program particularly as European allies have recoiled at reports of civilian deaths. Congress has not voted to repeal the program. Rather it has refused to renew it, or authorize any funding to continue it. The President, deferring to the arguments of the leaders of US security forces, has authorized the continued use of drone strikes.

Assume that dissidents within the American military, unhappy with the President’s drone strike policy and fearing that they could be prosecuted for war crimes for their participation in the program, have sued the President to end the program. They argue that the President lacks the authority to order the drone strikes without Congressional authorization.

Identify, beginning by referring to specific, relevant provisions of the Constitution and doctrines which emerge from those provisions, arguments supporting and opposing the President’s position that he has the unilateral authority to order drone strikes. Your conclusion as to whether the President has the authority is NOT important. What is important is that you demonstrate the capacity to discuss all sides of the problem which is the scope of the President’s authority to deploy armed forced unilaterally.
