Issues of Sex and Gender in Society Today
Identify an issue that is facing our society today that is in some way related to sex and/or gender and has opposing sides. Consider a law that was recently put into or taken out of effect or is being debated. You could also look to the statements or actions of a public figure or organization that has generated significant attention from the media. The issue you select should have ample material from which you may pull to gain insight into the details surrounding it. Feel free to email your instructor if you would like to verify that an issue is appropriate or if you would like some suggestions as to what you could cover.
Explore multiple sides of the issue you have selected until you have a good understanding as to why each side believes it is right. Research the historical events that have caused the circumstances of this issue. Engage in discussions with others who have strong feelings about the issue to learn the reasons why they feel they way they do.
Make sure you research both sides thoroughly as your goal with this paper will be to write it in a manner that does not allow the reader to know which side of the issue that you are on. You will not be condoning or condemning either side- your goal is to be as objective as possible in reviewing the issue you select.
Construct a 1,000-1,250 word essay that demonstrates your understanding of the following:
- The issue that you have identified (a concise synopsis of what the issue is)
- Historical context (previous events in history that have contributed to the rise of the issue)
- Both sides of the current argument (provide an objective review- the reader should not know which side of the issue that you personally are on)
- At least two possible resolutions to the issue (include the potential ramifications of each resolution for both sides)
Your paper should include an introduction and conclusion, at least 5 cited references (only 2 of which may be your discussions with others, excluding those identified as subject matter experts in your writing), and must adhere to APA formatting.

Read the Scenario and respond to the checklist items in a 34- page paper:
Scenario: The following four employees have different attitudes towards their jobs and different levels of job satisfaction which impacts their behavior on the job. You are the HR Director who is becoming concerned regarding the behavior of some employees at work. Read the following background information on each of the four employees and address all the checklist items.
Employee #1: Social media marketing administrator: He experiences cognitive dissonance every time his boss tells him to expand on the results from test results in the lab when posting to various social media sites to promote the instruments the company makes to other businesses. He is frequently late to work and his boss gave him several warnings as a result.
Employee #2: Engineer: She is in a highly visible job that creates a lot of stress and works 12-hour days. The company often expects her to fly out at a moments notice to other production facilities around the world to address various problems. This creates more stress for her and her family. She is loyal, but feels depressed by the constant work. She is starting to not contribute ideas and or embrace new initiatives at work.
Employee #3: Customer service representative: This representative works the 12 p.m.8 a.m. shift. He does what is required but complains in the employee breakroom about the offices and work conditions when he is on break. The other employees tend to agree with him when he complains. The customer service supervisor has lately noted an increase in department call-in sick days by this employee and others in the department.
Employee #4: Quality control administrator: She is the sole Asian in the organization, feels isolated and as though she is just there as a placeholder versus really making a recognized difference in the organization. The company promotes itself as a diverse organization which she knows is not true. She feels as if everyone expects her to fail, since not many people engage with her including her boss on any regular basis.
