2-1 Discussion: Your Community and You
In the sitcom Modern Family, the community is focused on three leading families. The first is the Pritchett family, unique for its age disparity among romantic couples. Jay was sixty-two when he met Gloria, who was thirty-seven then. Jay had two children before the relationship (Claire and Mitchell), while Gloria had one child (Manny); they had one child in their relationship called Joe Pritchett. In contrast, the Tucker family is distinctive for its same-sex relationship among romantic couples. The Tucker family, which includes Mitchell and Cameron, share one adopted child (Lily Tucker-Pritchett). The Dunphy family is unique for its relations among a heterosexual couple. The couple Claire and Phil Dunphy have three children (Haley Dunphy), (Alex Dunphy), and (Luke Dunphy). The sitcom showcases a diverse and modern version of family dynamics.
One movement focused on positive change is accepting and celebrating non-traditional family structures. These include accepting new forms of families, which may involve same-sex families or families with unique interracial differences. It also includes acceptance of times, which may involve adopting new philosophies such as the use of technology. One creative work that illustrates the movement is the episode titled The Wedding. In season 5, episode 24, Mitchel and Cameron exercise the newfound freedom of gay marriage after years of being together (Levitan & Lloyd, 2009 min 20:00, 13:00). This wedding comes after numerous struggles for acceptance of the gay relationships and the fight to legalize gay marriages. Mitchel and Cameron do their wedding as a celebration of this new right. Across the episodes, their wedding faces numerous challenges. Still, the fact that the community and family members assist them in navigating the challenges shows that the community values love over sexual orientation. The episodes not only highlight the social and legal progress of same-sex marriages but also the importance of acceptance and love regardless of sexual orientation.
Another creative work that illustrates the movement is the episode Connection Lost. In season 6, episode 16, Claire starts a family conversation through her computer, which lasts the entire episode (Levitan & Lloyd, 2009 min 1:00). The online interaction was fueled by the search for Haley Dunphy, who was suspicion of disappearing to get married while pregnant in Las Vegas. After numerous video calls from family members, Haley Dunphy was found asleep in her bedroom. This episode showcases the relevance of technology in connecting and creating support for family members, emphasizing the importance of staying connected in the modern world with the assistance of contemporary communication tools compared to the traditional use of letters to communicate over great distances.
The result of this movement for positive change is the understanding and inclusion of diverse families, such as same-sex marriages, which Mitchell and Cameron exceptionally elaborate on by making their family more diverse by adopting Lily Tucker-Pritchett, who is from a different racial ethnicity from them. Another result of this movement for positive change is the adoption of new family dynamics, such as the use of the Internet in family interactions, as illustrated in season 6, episode 16. Jay and Gloria also share different racial ethnicities, and the three families’ healthy, unbiased interactions outline the community’s acceptance of diverse families and modern family dynamics. These creative works illustrate the movement by portraying characters who challenge societal norms and redefine what it means to be a modern family.

Read everything very carefully
Instructions
13 slides 2-3 about the negative issues associated with allowing conflict in the workplace to go unchecked, and focus the majority of your presentation 
(8-10 slides) on the positive measures, programs, and processes that organizations can/do adopt to mitigate conflict and negative employee behavior in the workplace.
Topic: Resolving conflict and dealing with difficult people in the workplace
Research Project Instructions:
IMPORTANT!! Read all information provided in this section before beginning your final project. Your final project accounts for 25% of your grade. As such, this project is critical to your final grade!
Submit your work as an MS PowerPoint ATTACHMENT. No other file format can be accepted (i.e., no .pdf, read-only formats, etc.).
The final project requires you to develop a PowerPoint slide presentation for use as a training tool with line managers and supervisors on how to resolve conflict, as well as deal with difficult people, in the workplace. Many organizations hold such training programs at least annually with line management as a refresher in order to ensure that employee conflicts and aggressive behavior are dealt with expeditiously, assertively, Instructions: and proactively, in order to prevent such behavior from taking place at work. As such, your presentation should briefly outline (i.e., no more than 2-3 slides) the negative issues associated with allowing conflict in the workplace to go unchecked, and focus the majority of your presentation (i.e., 8-10 slides) on the positive measures, programs, and processes that organizations can/do adopt to mitigate conflict and negative employee behavior in the workplace.
Many organizations have extended conflict resolution programs beyond Human Resource Development (HRD) programs and processes by changing human resource management (HRM) policies and programs to meet the special needs of the new workforce. A growing number of organizations are holding managers formally accountable for resolving employee concerns and/or grievance internally, within their departments. For example, incorporating such goals and objectives into their performance evaluation process. As the HRD manager for your organization, what new training programs and processes would you propose to senior management to develop effective training and conflict resolutions methods that will ultimately lead to a climate in which all employees can thrive within the organization and contribute to its success? 
Submission Instructions: Submit your work as an MS PowerPoint (.ppt) presentation. The body of your presentation should include at least 10-12 presentation slides, in addition to a title slide, introduction slide(s), and references at the end of your presentation for a total of no more than 15 slides. PowerPoint presentations longer than 15 slides will not be read after the 15th slide. As such, please ensure that all assignment questions are answered within the first 15 slides, as your grade will be based on the first 15 slides received.
Your grade will be based on your ability to follow assignment instructions, research conducted, the effectiveness of the training proposed, critical thinking and analysis, and APA format.
Please support your ideas, arguments, and opinions with independent research, include at least three (3) supporting references or sources(do NOT use encyclopedias, Wikipedia, unknown, undated, or anonymous sources, such as brief articles from websites), include a reference section (i.e., 1-2 slides), and cite all sources properly in the text of each slide, in accordance with the 6th edition of the APA manual, Chapters 6 & 7.
Helpful Tips:
Your grade will be based upon:
research conducted
effectiveness of the training presentation as a communication tool,
critical thought and analysis, and
APA format.
Students are encouraged to use the Notes section of the slides in formulating the presentation as a way to minimize lengthy narrative on the slides. This approach will allow the use of bullet points on the slides but demonstrate the depth and scope of the research conducted in the Notes section.
I encourage you to go online to Purdue OWL, or Excelsior OWL, which have writing labs for students. Look up PowerPoint presentations in APA format in the search box. These websites will have helpful tips on best practices.

Thus far, you have learned about the basics of the scientific method. An important principle is that scientific inquiry should be free from biases, emotions, and value judgments. This includes methods, results, theories, and social scientists themselves. But there is always a human element in science that can affect objectivity. Reflect on what you learned from the module resources and respond to the following prompts. You will refer to your advertisements when participating in the discussion.
Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.
For your initial post, address the following:
What might be the consequences (positive and/or negative) of a social scientist’s emotions or biases showing up in their research?
Examine your four advertisements. How are potential biases represented in each of your ads? Think about the biases of the advertiser (creator of the ads) and the target audience (viewers of the ads). If you do not think bias is present, explain why and provide examples from your ads to support your point.
In a few sentences, summarize the presence of potential biases in your advertisements.
Please include the links to your advertisements in your post so your peers can view them.
For your response posts, address the following:
In this week’s resources, you learned about several specific strategies that you can use to manage your biases. How might you apply some of those strategies to processing media like the advertisements your peers shared?
Remember, this assignment is graded on the quality of your initial post and at least two response posts to your classmates. If you refer to any sources, be sure to include an attribution (or citation) to the resource.
To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric.

Conflict is inevitable. Identifying challenging or potential conflict situations and addressing them early on can be helpful to everyone involved. However, there are times when conflict management strategies are not enough, and the situation calls for conflict resolution. For human resource professionals, the first step in conflict resolution is taking on the role of investigator, which requires being an active listener and asking questions to understand the perspectives of each of the parties involved. It is critical to refrain from taking sides or imposing your own opinions at this stage, as the discovery process is an essential part of conflict resolution.
Begin by taking time to consider workplace situations in which you have been involved, heard about, and/or read about. Conceptualize your own example of a situation in an organization that might require an HR professional be involved with conflict resolution.
Then, complete this Assignment by reviewing the Learning Resources for this week and identifying other key resources you may need in order to respond to the following key points in a 2- to 3-page academic paper.
PART 1: DESCRIBE YOUR CONFLICT RESOLUTION SCENARIO
Provide a 1-page summary of your conflict resolution situation including the following information:
The setting
The parties involved and each person’s role within the setting and in the conflict
The sequence of events that led up to the possible need for conflict resolution and the actions and motivations of each of the parties involved
PART 2: EXPLAIN YOUR APPROACH TO RESOLVING THE CONFLICT
After reviewing a variety of conflict resolution strategies and approaches, take time to develop your own, i.e., a series of steps that you recommend using in this situation. You can choose one of the conflict resolution approaches from the resources OR combine steps from various resources. Be specific as you explain your rationale, making sure that you articulate your reasons for each of the steps you include.
