Scenario
You work in Human Resources for an organization that hosts off-site team meetings to welcome new employees each quarter as part of the onboarding process. The organization has a policy of employees sharing hotel rooms to cut down on costs. Carol has been with the organization for two months and has been invited to this team meeting. She reaches out to you with concerns about this policy. She uses a wheelchair and does not want to navigate showering and changing in the room with a coworker, because it is difficult to complete the activities fully in the small hotel bathrooms. She is also feeling embarrassed to ask about this because she does not want anyone to think she is not a team player or that she is not concerned about the company spending. Please respond to Carol to explain what options you would suggest for her and how you might communicate this to the team booking rooms while maintaining confidentiality. You need to be sensitive to her privacy and to how others might perceive any special accommodations.
Directions
Respond to the following in a 3- to 4-minute video. Address your response to Carol as an HR professional:
Outline at least one option for Carol.
Provide a method of maintaining confidentiality while executing on the option.
Explain why this is a reasonable request and will not impact her job or reputation.

GUIDANCE FOR STUDENTS IN THE COMPLETION OF TASKS
NOTE: The guidance offered below is linked to the five common assessment criteria above.
1. Research-informed Literature
Your work must be informed and supported by scholarly material that is relevant to and focused on the task(s) set. You should provide evidence that you have accessed a wide range of sources, which may be academic, governmental and industrial; these sources may include academic journal articles, textbooks, current news articles, organisational documents, and websites. You should consider the credibility of your sources; academic journals are normally highly credible sources while websites require careful consideration/selection and should be used sparingly. Any sources you use should be current and up-to- date, mostly published within the last five years or so, though seminal/important works in the field may be older. You must provide evidence of your research/own reading throughout your work, usingin-text citations in the main body of your work and a reference list that is alphabetical at the end of your work. Please use the Harvard referencing system.
2. Knowledge and Understanding of Subject
Your work must demonstrate the growing extent of your knowledge and understanding of concepts and underlying principles associated with the subject area. Knowledge relates to the facts, information and skills you have acquired through your learning. You demonstrate your understanding by interpreting the meaning of the facts and information (knowledge). This means that you need to select and include in your work the concepts, techniques, models, theories, etc. appropriate to the task(s) set. You should be able to explain the theories, concepts, etc. meaningfully to show your understanding. Your mark/grade will also depend upon the extent to which you demonstrate your knowledge and understanding; ideally each should be complete and detailed, with comprehensive coverage.
3. Analysis
Your work must contain evidence of logical, analytical thinking, evaluation and synthesis. For example, to examine and break information down into parts, make inferences, compile, compare and contrast information. This means not just describing What! but also justifying: Why? How? When? Who? Where? At all times, you must provide justification for your arguments and judgements. Evidence that you have reflected upon the ideas of others within the subject area is crucial to you providing a reasoned and informed debate within your work. Furthermore, you should provide evidence that you are able to make sound judgements and convincing arguments using data and concepts. Sound, valid conclusions are necessary and must be derived from the content of your work. There should be no new information presented within your conclusion. Where relevant, alternative solutions and recommendations may be proposed.
4. Practical Application and Deployment
You should be able to demonstrate how the subject-related concepts and ideas relate to real world situations or a particular context. How do they work in practice? You will deploy models, methods, techniques, and/or theories, in that context, to assess current situations, perhaps to formulate plans or solutions to solve problems, some of which may be innovative and creative. This is likely to involve, for instance, the use of real world examples and cases, the application of a model within an organisation and/or benchmarking one organisation against others based on stated criteria. You should show awareness of the limitations of concepts and theories when applied in particular contexts.
5. Skills for Professional Practice
Your work must provide evidence of the attributes expected in professional practice. This includes demonstrating your individual initiative and/or collaborative working. You must communicate effectively in a suitable format, which may be written and/or oral, for example, essay, management report, presentation. Work should be coherent and well-structured in presentation and organisation.

After watching the video, answer these two questions with at least 6 sentences each:
1. Why did Socrates hate democracy and what flaws did he see in it? Do you think democracy is a good system of government or do you agree with Socrates? Why or why not?
2. Module Review. Socrates/Plato vs Aristotle. Use your own words to argue which one speaks to you most and why. Give specific reasons.

Overview
Hegemonic ideas are prevalent in many areas of life, including the workplace. (As you may recall, hegemony is the dominant voice in culture.) In this reflective activity, you will consider a movement for positive change in a fictional workplace. You will then identify a creative work that illustrates a perspective that disagrees with the dominant voice of the movement you chose.
This assignment will help you practice describing how different perspectives may analyze a creative work. You will follow a similar process for your project.
Directions
For this journal reflection, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Describe a movement for positive change in a fictional workplace. Choose a fictional workplace from a book, film, television show, or so forth.
What is the dominant (insider) voice of the movement?
Describe a creative work that illustrates a counter (outsider) perspective, a perspective that disagrees with the dominant voice of the movement.
What are the specific elements in the creative work?
What message(s) do the elements send?
Explain how being an insider in a culture affects how works are interpreted.
Explain how being an outsider in a culture affects how works are interpreted.
What to Submit
Submit your journal reflection as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. If sources are used, follow APA citation guidelines when citing sources both throughout and at the end of your paper. While you will not be graded on the quality of your citations in this assignment, you may receive guidance from your instructor on how to properly cite sources.
