Reflecting on General Education and Career

Reflecting on General Education and Career

Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read the articles Teaching Writing Skills That Enhance Student Success in Future Employment ; An Inner Barrier to Career Development: Preconditions of the Impostor Phenomenon and Consequences for Career Development (Links to an external site.); and 9 Questions That’ll Help You Find Your Dream Career (Links to an external site.); watch the video Business, Management & Administration (Links to an external site.); and review the General Education Curriculum found in General Academic Information and Policies (Links to an external site.) in the Ashford University Catalog. This catalog addresses the core competencies that the general education courses must cover: Ethical Reasoning, Written Communication, Oral and Interpersonal Communication, Information Literacy, Critical Thinking, and Quantitative Reasoning.

Reflect: Think about the core competencies as previously mentioned, and ponder your time taking general education courses. Reflect on the specific courses not associated with your college major and determine the level of new information you have acquired that relates to the core competencies. You must also think about a potential job you might apply to once you graduate and determine what skills you developed through general education courses that make you qualified for a specific job.

Write: For this discussion, you will address the following prompts:

  • Review a job description through a job website (e.g., Career Builder (Links to an external site.), Monster (Links to an external site.), etc.) in your desired career field. Please provide the job title and the link to the job description.
  • Identify at least five skills you have obtained through your general education courses that will make you successful at this job.
  • Demonstrate with at least two examples how your newly acquired knowledge and skills have shaped both your personal and professional development.
  • Describe your plans for putting your education to use within your community.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length, which should include a thorough response to each prompt. You are required to provide in-text citations of applicable required reading materials and/or any other outside sources you use to support your claims. Provide full reference entries of all sources cited at the end of your response. Please use correct APA format when writing in-text citations (see In-Text Citation Helper (Links to an external site.)) and references (see Formatting Your References List (Links to an external site.)).

Change Model

Change Model

Prepare a 20 slide PowerPoint presentation with foot note to present the Kotter Change model and demonstrate how this model is relevant to your organization and why it will work well within your organization’s culture. In conclusion, discuss why this model will lead to sustainable change when most change initiatives fail.Create a visual presentation of KOTTER”S EIGHT STEP CHANGE MODEL using a graphic POWER POINT of your choice . The design of your model will be unique and relevant to your organization, based on a critical analysis of its culture and behavior. However, your model must demonstrate the necessary steps for change implementation of the EHR. Your model will be assessed on the quality of strategic implementation you design, the support you present for your model, and inclusion of the following concepts:

  1. Methods to evaluate the need for change
  2. Approach and criteria for choosing individuals or teams necessary for a change initiative
  3. Communication strategies
  4. Strategies to gather stakeholder support and overcome resistance
  5. Implementation strategies

Article Review 1

 

Reference Information: Mohami, Z., Aghmi, A., & Jolai, F. (2020). A green closed-loop supply chain design using a queuing system for reducing environmental impact and energy consumption. Journal of Cleaner Prction, 242, 118452. Retrieved from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/…

Purpose of Study: This artcle aims to study and bring out the knowledge of the reducing environmental effects formed by the impacts transport fleets because it has never been examined broadly in forward and reverse logistics suply chains. The article designs a green supply chain with both the forward and reverse logistic considerations to fill the gap that has never been investigated well. The article also uses the quuing system for optimization of the transport and waiting time of the fleets network.

Sampling Comments: Gren supply chains are one of the most efficient matters connected to the ecological effects, and a lot of researches have been done to confirm this (Mohtashami, Aghsami & Jolai, 2020). Transport flees move products within the logistic centers and are among the vital factors rising the environmental consequences when moving products between the centers and waiting in the loading queue (Mohtashami, Aghsami & Jolai, 2020).

Measures: Green supply chain managent mostly focuses on the environmental aspect of sustainability, which can be influential in achieving a worable supply chain.

Findings/Results/Main Points: For GAMS software, the amount of objective function equals 65.451. The objective function of the genetic system apprch is equal to 66.276. They are evaluating the model’s sensitivity to changes of parameter results to proper knowledge of its behavior. Sensitivity analysis is done for several transport fleets, and the objective function has rising behavior with an inease of fleets.

Conclusion: The contribuons that shall make the model real are presenting an all-inclusive model, green supply chain control, assumption of tranport fleets as clients to load the systems and using S seers for every individual loading system.

In the Measures part: it is what the author of th article use as a measure mechanism like surveys, simulations, statistics analysis,

Student Name Sample Article Review 1

Reference Information: Scanzoni, John (2001). From the Normal Family to Alternate Families to the Quest for Diversity With Interdependence, Journal or Family Issues, vol. 22 No. 6, September 2001, 688­710.

Purpose of Study: To look at the changes and the diversity of the households from the late 1960’s to present, both from the constructionist and the functionalistic view. And figuring out which family style works the best to meet both the family and societies needs.

Sampling Comments: Otto (1970), “man can create marriage and family possibilities uniquely suited to his time, place and situation.” Sussman and Cogswell (1972) “…adults must live for themselves and not only for their children.” The standard family (nuclear) stifled mutual confidant between mates. Single parenting was viewed as a temporary condition, which would resolve when the parent remarried, thus it wasn’t seen as a “real” family.

Measures: The standard family (or nuclear family) was faired to the different variant families such as single parents, homosexual, multi­marriages, and getting pregnant out of wedlock. Scanzoni reviewed and summarized the functionalist and constructionalist models and theories starting from post World War II to the present.

Findings/Results/Main Points: Functionalists support the model that views a new standard family were previous traditional roles are in place while the children are young in order to promote optimal child development. Scanzoni’s research found that developmentalists believe that it is more the lifelong encounters between a child’s genetic makeup, personality and social context and not just the first few years of life. While the functionalists want to exclude the community, the constructionalists believe that the community makes the family. “Families are produced and created by the actions of persons operating within the social structure and cultural milieu that surrounds them (Maines, 2000).” They also believe that if the community views a groups as not mainstream than that group is likely not to succeed.

Conclusion: While one believes that negotiations build a stronger family and community the other does not believe in negotiation of any type. The citizens that feel the neostandard model is better state they would have a hard time fairing up. This self­doubt along with lack of support may stifle their innovations. Most citizens admit to wanting the neostandard model for themselves and their children but are willing to accept the reality of the variant family. “Because there is no best family pattern to stray from, there can be no variants that are invariably judged as lesser. Then and only then have we taken the first step toward embracing genuine diversity, (Scanzoni 1989).” To date there is no one household model that is flawless but household variety has been found to enrich the family. Household diversity with interdependence that builds a strong sense of community has been found to be healthy.
