You will write an APA-style review paper (similar to a review of research literature) whose topic is the particular area of specialization in psychology that is of most relevance to the occupation you would like to eventually enter (e.g., industrial/organizational psychology if you want to become a human resources director, counseling if you wish to become a school counselor, and developmental psychology if you would like to own and operate a daycare center). The body of this paper—not including the title page, abstract, and reference section—will be at least ten pages long (2500 words), and will be organized into the following sections:

A title page that includes a running head, the title of your paper, your name, and your institutional affiliation
An abstract that briefly identifies the following six sections of your paper in a clear and succinct manner
The history of this area including its relationship to other areas of psychology and/or other academic
disciplines
Two of this area’s psychological theories that are relevant to the work.
Two of the research methods that researchers in this area commonly use to gather data and test
hypotheses. Correlational and experimental do not count as research designs. You should specify a
design such as cross-sectional.
A description of two (2) empirical (i.e. not literature reviews or abstracts) studies from the professional literature of this area and an explanation how the results of each of these studies can or have been used to promote human welfare. The studies must come from a peer-reviewed journal.
A specific occupation in this area that you plan to eventually enter; an accurate description of this occupation, the tasks a person in this occupation is required to perform; and a list of the specific types of knowledge, skills, and characteristics (i.e., work styles) a person needs in order to be successful in this occupation. The information for this section must be gathered from O*NET (http://online.onetcenter.org/) or a similarly credible source that has been approved by the instructor.
An explanation of how you have used specific curricular (e.g., classes) and extracurricular (e.g., internships) opportunities during your undergraduate education to accomplish the knowledge, skills, and characteristics you identified in the previous section. The focus should be on psychology courses.
A reference section containing at least ten (10) scholarly references (Do not use generic dictionaries/encyclopedias and use only Web sites ending in edu, org, or gov. When in doubt about the scholarliness of a reference, check with the instructor, using the References conference.) You must use at least four (4) peer-reviewed journal articles. Textbooks should not be used as part of the 10 (ten) required sources.
This paper will be submitted to Turnitin prior to submission in Webtycho. You are expected to demonstrate a mastery of APA format including appropriate level headings. Do not use a bulleted list for Section G. It is to be narrative.

Assignment 3: Culturally Diverse Individuals Are Effective Workers

Suppose you work as a human resource (HR) executive at Total Solutions, Inc., a culturally and geographically diverse organization. A recent government study on human statistics indicates that colleagues who share culturally similar backgrounds perform more efficiently and effectively on the job. These study findings, however, appear contrary to the basic research on the value of diverse workforces. John, the vice president of HR has read extensively about this study. He meets with senior management to discuss if the concept can be implemented at Total Solutions, Inc. The senior management reviews the study and decides to execute the process in one office before a policy decision is made.

John decides that the process should be piloted in the new HR office being set up in Atlanta. He receives the board’s permission to apply the concept in the new office. He needs to relocate five employees from the headquarters in New York to the Atlanta office. John obtains the list of employees based in the New York office. The list has a brief profile of the employees. John asks you to help him analyze the profiles and present your recommendations as to who are the best five employees for the Atlanta assignment.

Present your analysis to John in the form of a two- to three page report in Microsoft Word following APA format. Make sure you provide a clear recommendation of which five employees should be selected for the Atlanta assignment and that you apply the basic concepts of diversity in your selection process.  Provide rationale for your selection based on your examination of the evidence and references to at least three authoritative sources from the Argosy library or the Internet.

Frontline: A Class Dividedhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/

A Class Divided explores the nature of prejudice. Third grade teacher Jane Elliott deliberately created a classroom situation to teach her students how it feels to be on the receiving end of discrimination. This is an encore presentation of the classic documentary on third-grade teacher Jane Elliott’s “blue eyes/brown eyes” exercise, originally conducted in the days following the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. This classic classroom experiment, conducted in the late 1960s in a small Midwestern town, demonstrates how quickly and easily schoolchildren can internalize prejudice and discriminate. Years later, these children discuss the valuable lessons they learned from this experiment. Elliott employs this same teaching strategy with a group of adults in the workplace, and discusses their reactions.

This assignment is designed to allow you to synthesize what you have been learning about the various dimensions of diversity and the necessity of treating everyone in an inclusive, sensitive and respectful manner.

Discrimination Paper Part I: Interpersonal Reflection

After viewing the video, consider the following questions and write your response. Your response should be 4-5 pages and should address each question thoroughly, reflecting an accurate representation of what you have learned in this course. Demonstrate scholarship by utilizing supporting resources to justify your ideas and responses:

• What did you learn from the film? What scene or scenes do you think you’ll still remember a month from now and why those scenes?
• Did any part of the film surprise you? Do you think someone with a disability, of a different sexual orientation, an older American or some of a different religion would also find it surprising? Why or why not?
• Both Elliott and her former students talk about whether this exercise should be done with all children. What do you think? If the exercise could be harmful to children, as Elliott suggests, what do you think actual discrimination might do? Use an example, different from the example you used to describe labels, from what you have learned about people with disabilities, older people, sexual minorities, or people of differing religions.
• How can negative and positive labels placed on a group become self-fulfilling prophecies? Use an example from what you have learned about people with disabilities, older people, sexual minorities, or people of differing religions.
• Based on what you have learned in this course, discuss an example (either from the video or from your experiences) that illustrates each of the following statements:
  • Dimensions of diversity may be hidden or visible.
  • Dimensions of diversity are in a constant state of flux.
  • Dimensions of diversity are not always clear-cut or easily defined.

Discrimination Paper Part II: Personal Interview

For Part II of this assignment, you will have a conversation with someone who you feel may have faced discrimination. Examples include someone with a disability, an older American, someone who is a sexual minority, or someone who lives in a multicultural family. After choosing an individual to interview, explain to this individual what you have seen in the Class Divided program. Invite them to watch the program, or parts of the program, with you. After watching or discussing the program, pose the following questions to the individual. Be sure to explain the reason for your questions and why you have selected them to participate in the interview:

• What, if any, discrimination do you experience?
• How have you coped with this situation?
• What do you think needs to change at the cultural level to reduce discrimination?

Following your refection (Part I listed above), add 2-3 pages to your paper which addresses the following:

• A description of the individual you chose to interview and why. Explain how you went about approaching this individual for the interview.
• What are your observations about the person’s view of discrimination and how it affects his/her daily life?
• Did the interaction with the person change your view of discrimination? If so, explain how the interaction has affected you either positively or negatively. If it did not change your view of discrimination, explain why.
• How well do you think you would cope with discrimination from this person’s perspective?
• Finally, what is the best manner in which to advocate for those facing discrimination? What actions will you change based on what you have learned in this course and how will you serve as an advocate for those individuals who face discrimination?

Your final assignment, consisting of both Part I and II, should be approximately 6 -8 pages. Be sure to address each topic listed above and, as appropriate, cite the online course, the textbook, and other credible sources to substantiate the points you are making. For example, when discussing an example of how diversity may be hidden or invisible cite sources, which you have referenced to substantiate the points you are making.

PART 1 PLEASE RESPOND IN 275 WORDS

“Can Conflict be Managed?”  Please respond to the following:

•Watch the video titled, “Seth Godin on the Difference Between Leadership and Management” (7 min 12 s). You can also view the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx2SV2bYSfU.  Leadership and management have been described as two (2) distinct but complimentary organizational systems by John Kotter. Abraham Zalenuk proposed that personalities of leaders and managers stand in contrast to one (1) another; therefore, which would you prefer to be considered and why?

PART 2 PLEASE RESPOND AND COMENT TO THIS DISCUSSION NO LESS THE 175 WORDS BASE ON 1 CREDIBLE RESORCE

My preference is leadership.  The leadership process involves, setting a direction throuh communication; and motivating people to action, partly through empowerment and partly through basic need gratification.  The leadership process creates uncertainty and change in an organization.  Effective leaders not only control the future of the organization but also act as enablers of change in organizations.  I have always been a leader and not a follower.  I like to be in charge of projects, making sure everyone work together to get the job done.  I like to come up with ideas that would make a change in my department that would help the department to grow and strive for excellence.  I was once a team-leader on my job, and I enjoyed giving out the work, and helping out my co-workers when they had problems.  We also worked together as a team, through communication and motivation.
