Your written assignment for this week is designed to help you identify important procedural protections and wording in the Bill of Rights. Read and carefully study the wording of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments. These are often the amendments associated with criminal justice issues and the procedural rights of suspects in a criminal case. As you review and study the wording, consider who prepared the wording of the amendments and the era in which they were written. These amendments are often criticized for being vague, ambiguous and dated. One of the roles of the US Supreme Court is to interpret these amendments and provide clarity in their application. Consider these examples: •The Fourth Amendment provides protection for “unreasonable searches and seizures”. What does unreasonable mean? •The Fifth Amendment provides for “due process of law”. What does this mean? •The Sixth Amendment provides for a “speedy” trial. What constitutes speedy? •The Eighth Amendment protects against “cruel and unusual punishment”. What types of actions constitute cruel and unusual punishment? Choose one of the examples above. Write a 2-3 page paper that addresses the following questions. Do not write in a question/answer format; the assignment should be in paragraph form that incorporates the question and the answer. 1.Identify the historical context of the example. What did the framers of the Constitution have in mind when creating this verbiage of the amendment? What was happening in the world to prompt the inclusion of this? 2.Identify a US Supreme Court decision that provided interpretation and clarity of the example. Include the citation of the case. 3.Provide a summary of the original (lower court) case. 4.What were the legal issues being considered? 5.What did the US Supreme Court decide? How did the court provide clarity in the interpretation of the amendment? 6.What were the primary concerns with the dissenting opinion(s)?

Write dialogic argument, find common ground
Tell us a story from your life, describing an experience that either demonstrates your character or helped to shape it.
Tocqueville and Weber write about the spirit of democracy and what makes America great. Does it still hold true or is it merely a myth? Using your own life as a lens, and the lives of people we learn about in class—is the American dream a reality or was it always a myth?
(1.) Smith, Marx and Tocqueville all discuss the nature of freedom in modern society, and in different ways highlight its relationship to equality. Choosing two of the theorists we’ve read, please answer the following questions. First, how does each theorist understand human liberty? What is its nature, and what does it consist in? Second, how do the theorists understand the relationship between liberty in modern society and those features of equality (or inequality) they focus upon in modern society. This is getting at liberty’s social conditions, broadly. In this discussion, be sure to examine how particular institutions (such as privilege or monopolies) or social structures (such as class structure) may play a central role, and discuss these where appropriate. Finally, how does the relationship between liberty and equality help to produce each theorists broader understanding of modern society?
Write an analysis (2 pages double spaced) that explains some aspect of the novel. You may choose topics that we introduced and discussed (ambiguity, binary, feminism, Nietzsche, winning/values, etc) or you may choose your own. Be sure to avoid “to be” verbs and use active verbs in present tense. Use quotes from the text (with parenthetical citations) to provide evidence for your argument. One quote per paragraph is a general rule of thumb.
It is important for organizations to consider not only the advantages of a well-designed performance management program, but also the issues that can arise if details are overlooked. Not only can poorly designed programs be an ineffective use of everyone’s time, but without having clear objectives set, they can also result in high costs to the organization. Having unclear or unachievable objectives can result in a decrease in employee morale, motivation, or performance, and even a decrease in organizational performance. It can also negatively impact relationships between the employees and their direct supervisors, as well as with the organizations. To prepare for this Assignment, you will examine the “Forever U. Case Assignment,” provided in this week’s resources. Prepare a needs analysis to assess an employee’s current skill level. Based on the needs analysis, address how to improve the performance of the mailroom specialist and the administrative assistant in their current jobs. Identify how to sustain good performance levels and how to prepare the employees for continued advancement. Complete this Assignment by preparing a 3- to 5-page paper, following the guidelines below: Use the Developmental Plan Form from Case Study 8-1 in your course text as a reference and draw upon the development needs listed below. Development Need 1: Explore ways to communicate urgency and priority to mailroom specialists to reinforce their accountability for correct processing of packages. Development Need 2: Investigate process control systems in order to incorporate them into mailroom processes and performance management. Complete the needs analysis, identifying the employees’ skill level. Prepare two development plans (one for the mailroom specialist who accepted the package and one for the administrative assistant who delivered it to the mailroom). Ensure that each employee development plan is in line with the direction of the company and the personal goals of the employee. Include these employee development plans as a specific part of the plan. Be specific and provide examples with references to the literature provided this week.
