Essay 1: The Allegory of the Matrix

Essay 1: The Allegory of the Matrix

Writing an essay.

Essay 1: The Allegory of the Matrix

In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave we are introduced to a form of humanity shackled in chains, in a form of perceptual bondage.

In The Matrix by the Wachowski sisters we are introduced to a dark future where humanity is imprisoned physically and perceptually by a form of manipulative Artificial Intelligence.

And in our daily lives we also experience a limiting of our social perspective regarding Covid-19.

If Neo could rescue humanity from Plato’s cave, what would that rescue look like today in a world where people are constantly battling the influence of misinformation while trying to stay safe?

Are there any modern figures in reality that have acted as a Neo/Morpheus or a Plato, in the current age of coronavirus, liberating humanity from their incorrect thinking? If we listen to these modern truth-tellers, how will our lives be made better?

Reflection paper – one page business

Reflection paper – one page business

As an international manager, your effectiveness can be greatly influenced by your understanding of cultural differences and their impact on staff. Hofstede’s Model of National Culture and Project GLOBE (pp. 583–585 in your textbook) details dimensions that help managers identify cultural differences within countries.

Write a one-page reflection paper about how this research has increased your understanding of different cultures and how you would use this understanding if managing staff who would be taking on expatriate assignments.

If outside sources are used, please adhere to APA style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.

No, that’s all. I copied the information from the text onto the word document that I attached.

Training Plan Preparation Choose one of the challenges below (or one of your own) as the focus of an HR training or development plan for a department in a health care organization.

Training Plan Preparation Choose one of the challenges below (or one of your own) as the focus of an HR training or development plan for a department in a health care organization.

Possible challenges:

  • Teamwork is lacking in some functional units. Many employees are operating as individuals in areas where teamwork is essential. Poor or inadequate goals and objective setting seems to be a key issue.
  • There is a lack of preparation and orientation for newly hired employees. Many are not prepared for their job within the organization because of inadequate job-related training on company policies or procedures.
  • Employees appear to be wasting time and working inefficiently. Time management seems to be a problem for many.
  • Burnout is a very significant issue in the organization, especially among nursing staff. Supervisors are struggling to deal with the issue.
  • Or choose and define a comparable challenge of your own.

Use the Capella University Library and professional or academic resources on the Internet to research training and development strategies for addressing human resource needs.

DELIVERABLE

Prepare a training and development plan for your chosen challenge that would be appropriate to present for executive approval. Include the following:

  • A description of how the proposed training addresses the identified challenge within an organization of your choice.
  • A list of employee types who should be included in the training and why.
  • A detailed description of the training topics and vector (seminar, online, conference, workshop, brown bag, et cetera). The budget and schedule should accurately reflect this choice.
  • A budget (personnel, equipment, supplies, et cetera). Make sure to document any assumptions you make.
  • A schedule with milestones associated with content creation and training delivery.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

  • APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA style and formatting standards.
  • Number of resources: Include a minimum of three resources.
