Changes in social stereotypes have improved the way that most people view the LGBTQ community. A few things factor into this, I believe. One is the gradual agnosticism that is taking over the country as well as mass public acceptance of alternative lifestyles culturally. The way homosexuals have were treated throughout history was horrifying. in 1533 in England, homosexuality was a crime punishable by hanging (Pickett, 2009) even today in countries like Afghanistan and other middle east nations where Sharia Law is followed, homosexuality is punishable by death. Even Angela Mason argues that homosexuals have been “The most sexually stigmatized group within society (Vernon, 2010).”
Only within most of our lifetime have we seen drastic changes happen in the LGBTQ community. With the public acceptance of homosexuality, we are now able to study and explore the culture at a macro level. Friendships that developed between homosexuals tend to have a stronger bond. Andrew Sullivan describes the types of friendship shared by two homosexuals as not centered around shared interests, but rather the alliance and shared experience between the two in a world where homosexuality is often considered a taboo (Vernon, 2010). We can look to the modern homosexual friendship as a blueprint of what a bond can be at its highest level. Not many things can bring people closer than the feeling of being hated by society and not allowed to express yourself without the fear of public humiliation or worse the fear of death. Philosopher Michel Foucault, A leading figure on postmodern thought, wrote that even psychologists in the late 1950s tried to mask homosexuality as a form of pathology. Foucault strongly influenced queer theory and was at the forefront of the early days of equal rights for homosexuals (Pickett, 2009).
The difference between what I consider to be typical inside a friendship and what my grandfather thought to be normal is as different as day and night. My grandfather, being a WWII Veteran and a former leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had different views on friendship than me. He had a few close friends that he knew almost nothing about besides their favorite baseball teams and what they bring to the table when fixing a classic car. I would imagine their only interactions being a stern handshake and conversations about who they think will win a sporting event of some sort. His friendships are vastly different than my close male friends and me. We know everything about each other. We often greet each other with a warm hug and often talk about personal things. The taboo that would have been in my grandfathers’ mind when interacting with other men has slowly gone away because the acceptance of homosexuals in our community has also allowed non-homosexuals to connect deeper than before.

We learn about the unhealthy and shallow depiction of “soul friendships” in mainstream films and literature:
“Type soulfriends, or even worse “soulmate” into an internet search engine and some of the most syrupy aphorisms on friendship will be returned for your edification… the trouble with this sentimental haze and commodification is that it cheapens an idea of enormous human value: the spirituality of friendship is not something that can simply be ceded to the market” (p. 222).

Climate change is a global problem with many actors responsible for the climate dilemma from energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The climate’s energy balance is a global public good that no one political actor is accountable to preserve, yet all require it. The “tragedy of the commons” is a central concept in international relations and is relevant to energy use and climate change. It is difficult to get agreement on limiting or ending the use of energy which is necessary to the economy in order to preserve balance in some environmental system. It has happened in the past, as with the Montreal Protocol limiting chlorofluorocarbons’ damage to the ozone layer, but climate change affects many more actors and the self-interest of many powerful entities.
As you consider these aspects of climate governance, evaluate the questions below using as much information as you can marshal to make your evaluation.

Choose a current event that is making national or international headlines. It might be a story about an election, a natural disaster, the global economy, a highly publicized criminal trial, or an event in the entertainment industry.
Then, analyze how race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, and gender intersect and impact the event itself, the coverage of the event, and the event’s results. For example, if you decide to look at mass shootings in the United States, you will discuss who the shooters are (race, ethnicity, class, gender) and how the media portrays them (race, ethnicity, class, gender) as well as the victims (race, ethnicity, class, gender), etc. How old are the perpetrators and the victims? How quickly was the media to cover the story? Who are the reporters (race, gender)?

As a leader, it is expected for you to be able to identify with the workers within the organization. This process can take place during basic observation, performance evaluations, attendance, interaction with others, and basic characteristics or behaviors. The leader must identify different personality types or behaviors and apply the suggested tactics for properly handling each type.
Research the CSU Online Library or another external source for an article(s) that addresses different personality types or behaviors in the work place and how to apply tactics for properly handling of each type.
Provide your opinion on the article as it applies to the following questions:
What is the author’s main point?
Who is the author’s intended audience?
Do the author’s arguments support his or her main point? Explain different personality types or behaviors and how to apply the suggested tactics for properly handling of each type.
What evidence supports the main point?
What is your opinion of the article? (Do not simply summarize the article.)
What evidence, either from the textbook or additional sources, supports your opinion?
Your article critique should be at least two pages in content length, including an introduction, a body of supportive material (paragraphs), and a conclusion. Be sure to include a title page and a reference page and follow all other APA formatting requirements. The title page and reference page do not count toward the total page requirement.
