Two principles form the basis for this assignment. One, in order to know where we want to be, we first must examine where we are. Two, a planned event with stated goals has a better chance of succeeding than those events where goals are virtual and not concrete.

This assignment helps you set goals as you learn how to become an effective organizational change leader or a consultant.

Reflect on how you generally react to change. Common reactions may include, “Oh no!,” “Yea, here we go again!,” “Oh, well, whatever,” “No, and no, and no again,” or “Change? What change?”

Using your textbook readings and scholarly articles from the Argosy University online library resources for research, respond to the following:

• Describe your general reaction when dealing with change. How do you respond to others’ needs? Do you focus on the task at hand, expect others to embrace the change as inevitable, reassure others that they will be able to adjust to change, show indifference to the change process, or examine reasons for others’ reluctance and try to counteract those forces?
• Identify your strengths in how you react to change.
• Identify and explain areas for growth in how you react to change. These are areas that you might want to focus on in this course. Be sure to include specific behavioral changes. What do you think will be the most difficult areas to address, and how will you manage it?

Write a 3- to 5-page reflective essay in Microsoft Word format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work, including a title page and references.

Utilize at least one professional literature source in your essay. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).

In the last few years, the fate of the Social Security administration has come into question. The system faces various challenges like the growing number of retirees and the shrinking number of workers paying into the system. In this module, you will look at possible solutions to such problems. You will also examine the political and economic consequences of implementing changes in public policy.

Your textbook proposes several solutions for maintaining the solvency of the Social Security administration.

• Select one solution from the textbook that you believe might be effective.
• Using the Social Security Administration Web site (www.ssa.gov) and the Argosy University online library, research the arguments made in support of this solution.

Social Security in the United States averages to about 40 percent of the citizens’ wages. This is two-thirds of the international average, which is about 60 percent (Macionis, 2009). In addition, politicians in the United States want to cut benefits further. Keeping this in mind, respond to the following:

• Explain reasons for the disparity in Social Security between the United States and other industrialized countries.
• Discuss whether cutting benefits is a good policy decision for the United States.
• Give examples and reasons in support of your response.

Provide appropriate justification for your analysis.

Write your initial response in 200­–300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Using evidence from the essay, argue for how we might choose to name it; i.e. is it a tsunami, a war, a plague, a meltdown, a credit crisis, a confidence crisis, a global disaster?

Everyone watching the news would seem to agree that hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, typhoons, earth quakes, wild fires and mud slides, temperature extremes, and droughts seem to be increasing in intensity, and possibly in frequency. Scientists look towards climate change as just one of the possibilities effecting our planet. Melting glaciers, lack of snow pack, shrinkage of polar caps, dying coral reefs, magnetic inversion, and warming oceans are also concerns. Through recorded history, nature has never seemed so “out of ¢Our current president believes that we need to curb green house emissions, and try for a more neutral carbon foot print.

When designing database tables, the difference between a good design and a bad design can be a few seconds in response time and several minutes. You may think that this is not a huge difference, but imagine waiting several minutes on a web page for your results to load. How long would you wait? A slow database can mean the loss of customers. So let’s begin by discussing some of the common elements of tables and how you would approach the table design. What would you do to ensure that your page loads in a few seconds? Discuss the relationship types and how they affect your design.
