Background:
Problem: what is the problem you wish to research on. What is the rationale for this research problem?
Make sure to include supporting references for your statements. They should be relevant to what you are seeking to accomplish.
The first academic response paper will be in response to the 2003 film “Shattered Glass,” starring Hayden Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard, and Chlo Sevigny.,General instructions:
This paper should begin by briefly summarizing the film and its major themes.
Then, focus on a single aspect rather than attempting to address the entire video. Summarize at least one argument, claim, or concept thats been presented in the film briefly, and provide your critical response or reaction elaborately. Overall, provide a strong and thoughtful analysis and clear communication of your ideas.
You may pick ONE of the following prompts to respond to:
What newsgathering rituals, media routines, or other underlying influences on The New Republic’s staff allowed this to occur?
Why are Stephen Glass’ fabrications such a big deal? (It won’t be enough to say that he lied or made stuff up We need you to go deeper.)
You are going to explain the film content following class lectures, readings, and experiences from your own life. The purpose is to help you process the class content and integrate this knowledge with your own experiences. Look for connections, contradictions, or confrontations between what youre watching and our class conversations and/or your textbook. When possible, apply them to personal or current events. When providing a response, its usually going to be appropriate to write in the first person we want to know what you think and feel about the assertions youve just viewed.
Finally, write a conclusion summarizing and advancing your overall critical thoughts very briefly.
The paper must be your own and all information and ideas from other authors must be adequately cited and referenced.

CHAPTER 4: Small Business and Entrepreneurship: Discussion
There will be a discussion question or topic based on the “Chapter Questions” located at the end of each chapter. Please pick one and develop a line of thought to discuss.
The discussion question are open at the course beginning and close on the due date and time. No late work will be accepted. You can earn 25 points a week by participating in the discussion board. You will be graded on the quality of your responses, answers or questions, not merely on the fact that you participated. Please apply the Critical Thinking rubric to your work. Your posting must be Substantive:
– Providing a new thought, idea or perspective
– Citing and experience or example of what we are learning
– Adding a new twist on a perspective
– Critically thinking about an idea/concept
– Questioning or challenging a principle or perspective
–
I do NOT consider these types of comments to be substantive
–
– Very basic comment such as I agree or I disagree
– Simply restating what has already been said unless there is a direct purpose in doing so
– Disrespectfully disagreeing
– Pat answers that are not thought provoking
– Use of unedited dictation software comments
To receive the 25 points, you must do two things, First, reply to the posted question worth up to 5 points, and Second, reply to at least two (2) of your classmates responses worth up to10 points each. The discussion board is meant to take the place of the normal in-class discussion that you have in a traditional class structure. Each posting and reply should consist of a complete paragraph of a minimum of five sentences. I will be using a rubric for grading of discussion boards so please expect some changes to the syllabus as the semester progresses.
According to Furman and Gruenewald (2004) social justice is a critical-humanistic role for school leaders. The critical-humanistic role is one that (a) assumes that schools are inherently value laden, (b) engages in an analysis of school structure for inequalities that result from unequal power relationships, and (c) works to overcome these inequalities.
After reading Chapter 8, closely Examine Table 8-1: Equality of Opportunity Matrix. For this discussion, you will

Competency
Evaluate principles of ethics and leadership.
Scenario
You are a mentor teacher, working with co-teachers at All Kids Childcare and Education. Your program has started a new initiative to help teachers better incorporate and celebrate diversity. You are excited to showcase the strategies a few of the teachers are already using.
However, as the training begins, one teacher comments, “Diversity is not a priority in my classroom. Almost all of the children are from the same ethnic background.” You look around to see several other teachers nod in agreement.
Instructions
First, reflect on your own leadership style as it pertains to this scenario in a reflection paper written in a Word document.
Next, leverage your articulated leadership style in the reflection above to create a mini-mentoring session. At least 10 questions for teachers should be included. These questions should assist teachers in reflecting on the cultural competence of their planned activities and the learning environment. Additionally, include any behaviors or actions you will use as the mentor, as well as a full description of the purpose of a cultural competence checklist. Include your mini-mentoring session as part of your reflection above.
Finally, assist teachers in creating a cultural competence checklist using your questions from above as a guide. Reflect on what components the checklist should encompass, and create a cultural competence checklist that teachers can use to evaluate the cultural competence of their planned activities and the environment in which they will conduct those activities. The checklist should be completed in Word and contain at least 10 indicators of cultural competence as well as a way for teachers to rate the progress of this indicator. Offer clear directions for how to use the selected rating system.
Submit your leadership style reflection as well as your cultural competence checklist.
Please the following to paragraphs and answer replies. They should be thoughtful and supportive with references.
1.Prototyping is in itself a self-sufficient mechanism to collect system requirements and can take two forms, evolutionary and throwaway. The main benefit of prototyping is the development of an information system that more closely fits the needs of the organization (Huston, T.H. & D’Ouville, E. L., 1988). A prototype is a basic working model, mock-up or a simple simulation of the product which leads us to create a minimal viable product to final product and variations (Entrepreneur, 2018).
While, evolutionary prototypes are generally turned into a full working production system at some point in time, the throwaway prototypes, as the name suggests, are discarded once they meet the initial purpose they were created for. Agreed that there may be some cases where throwaway prototypes dont even serve the purpose for which they were created. However, after having spent so much resources and effort on these prototypes, which met initial purpose, is it justifiable to discard them? If so, under what conditions it makes business sense to discard these prototypes?

2. My post this week will not be too verbose as I have had a perplexing question (that I have some opinions on, but I’d like the thoughts of the class) that has been a theme for these discussion posts throughout this course. After reading both chapters this week I appreciate the needs for systems requirements and data flow diagrams. I understand the benefits of both; The outcome of a detailed requirements analysis is that the organization reaps the benefits of selecting best-fit software (Doig, 2015). However, the thought that has captured my curiosity is what are the costs to an organization for poor systems requirements, and/or data flow diagrams? For example; An unclear product spec can add millions of dollars in manufacturing costs (Redman, 2013). Aside from monetary impacts, what other types of impacts does shoddy work do to an organization?
