Chapter 5 Assignment

February 28, 2020 1 Comment APA, Social Sciences

Please write a 3/4 page, single-spaced paper, 12 font answering the question below.  Please cite in APA 7 format.  There is a video also explaining about the strength of weak ties. 
Why might acquaintances prove to be more important in the job search process than our family and friends (as is argued in the “strength of weak ties” thesis)?  In what circumstances is embeddedness more valuable to a person than weak ties?

I will provide pictures of the textbook. Chapter 5

The strength of weak ties: it is the people with whom we are least connected who offer us the most opportunities.

How has social media significantly changed the number and strength of our weak ties? Watch the Sociology on the Street video to find out more:

HRM

February 28, 2020 6 Comments APA, Business and Management

After exploring the role of Human Resource Management and its various requirements, it’s now time to demonstrate that you can apply these concepts in your own chosen industry or career path! Late work will lose 10% each day.  You may consider researching how other organizations have managed these core HRM policies, practices and procedures.  Specifically, consider what you have learned over this first few chapters and write an essay that explores in detail:

how strategic planning and HR planning work together in your industry or career path
steps that managers in your industry or career path should take to ensure alignment with EEO requirements and best practices
your recommended approach for conducting a job analysis of a common job in your industry or career path
any specific implications for job design in your industry or career path
This assignment should include at least 6 pages of double-spaced content in 12-point Times New Roman font, summarizing your key learnings in class and how they are relevant in your industry or career path. Written assignments require application of content from the textbook and any other learning materials provided in the course, as well as your own independent research (especially around industry-specific aspects of the assignment).

To What Extent Should Biochemical Warfare Be Outlawed?

February 28, 2020 4 Comments APA, Other

Hello, thanks for taking the time to do my research paper!
This is a global research paper for the University of Cambridge. I am a high schooler taking this class, and in one of the requirements to pass it is an immeasurable global research paper. To start with, the paper needs the following:

Countries perspective (For example, It cant be just south American countries and central America, it has to be like from India to Canada to the U.K to brazil to turkey, these are examples and various countries needs to be involved, you are free to choose the countries that fit best for the research question as long as it doesn’t fall in one continent only.)

CRAVEN (CRAVEN stands for Credibility, Reliability, Ability to see, Vested interests, Expertise, and Neutrality. We use CRAVEN to evaluate the sources of an argument to prove whether it is valid or not in the research paper itself.)

Plagiarism (I doubt I need to mention this but just in case, the University of Cambridge uses a special state of art plagiarism, so in other words, as long as you cite in the research paper it will be perfect.)

Viewpoints (The viewpoints of your choice (countries) will have to include should not or should be based on the research question)

Controversial (Nothing controversial or debatable like abortion.)

SPECS (A MUST, it stands for science, political, economic, culture, and social, these are the perspective you need to use from the countries itself for the research question.)

FALLACIES (Self-explanatory)

I have posted a few files to give you an idea of what I want and the examples that my teachers have given me and a guide too. Overall, when writing this, always think global! 🙂

Any topic (writer’s choice)

You are the CEO of a midsize, software company in Saudi Arabia and want to take your company global and offer your software worldwide. You will need to open offices in nations around the world. Would you 1) open offices in nations with high political and legal risks or 2) just focus on nations with low political and legal risks? What are the pros and cons for each strategy?

Understanding Subtractive Mixture: The Colour Wheel

February 28, 2020 3 Comments MLA, Other

only need to answer those two questions:
1.Describe how the value and saturation of purple #1 differ from purple #2.
2.What factors in the process of mixing colours subtractively contribute to the visual
differences between purple #1 and purple #2? (i.e. why is purple #2 better
than purple #1?).

I uploaded the wheel and the sketch of reflectance curve please check.
