Last week we discussed our personal career futures. This week well focus on the broader societal landscape and what value diversity and inclusion play in the future of work. Diversity in the workplace does not just refer to race, sex, religion, class, and age. A commitment to a diverse working environment also acknowledges the importance of the diversity of perspectives, cultures, backgrounds, and strengths. 

Begin by reading pages 7.1-7.7 of the webtext for this week and viewing the video, “Inclusion Starts with I.”

Accenture. (2017). Inclusion starts with an I. (Links to an external site.) YouTube. [Video: 3:28 minutes]. Transcripts.

Discussion Instructions
Initial Post: Then, by Thursday of Module 7, create an initial post that responds to each of the prompts below: 

Have you ever encountered a situation like the ones highlighted in the video? How did it impact you? 
What demographic groups, backgrounds, or perspectives are underrepresented in your career field? Why?
What are the benefits of working in diverse groups? What are the challenges? 
You will not be able to see posts written by your classmates until you create your initial post.

Replies:  Then, from Friday through Sunday of Module 7, reply to your classmates initial posts and engage with them in a conversation about the future of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Do you think our workplaces will become more or less diverse and inclusive in the future? Why? Please be sure to reply to at least two of your peers’ posts. 

Evaluation
This discussion will be graded according to the Cornerstone Discussion Board Rubric. Review the rubric and Discussion Board Expectations in advance to know how you will be assessed.
All discussion boards combined are worth 20% of your course grade.
This activity is used to assess one or more general education career competencies (GECC). You will see additional rows in your rubric from your instructor along with assessments of Above/Meets/Does Not Meet Expectations for each competency. These rows do not factor into your grade.

We’ve now looked at some of the precedents to our current era whether they are the shift to a new mode of discipline as Michel Foucault documented as well as other later manifestations of how space, indeed, shifts our capacity to think the self in society. Paul Preciado and Beatriz Colomina helped bring us into the mid-20th century in the United States by looking at the ways domestic life and architectures as they were thought through in the figure of the Playboy mansion codified certain post-World War II gendered and racialized understandings of private space.

Using ideas from Harvey, De Certeau, or others about thinking “space”, and keeping in mind (and citing!) some of the thinkers above, look around your own surroundings, interior or exterior, and try to unpack how the space is produced. What are the ways in which certain types of discipline or attention are activated? If you are looking at a city or neighborhood, how did it, say, come to have certain spacial features and how do those features (cul-de-sacs, highways, railways, but also streetlights and sidewalk, monuments and billboards, not to mention architectural styles, etc) affect the way people interact with the space and co-produce it?

This should be a short exploration (4-5 pages) and does not REQUIRE outside research, though it may be useful to you to do some for the sake of clarifying/fact checking/contextualizing. Focus on one feature of your environs – a park; a highway; a style of housing. By looking with a deeper focus at one facet of life, as each of the thinkers we’ve looked at does…you’ll find all kinds of things popping out at you.

The novel is available on Kindle:
Kim Scott, That Deadman Dance, Bloomsbury, 2012, 368 pp. (Kindle)

Clearly based on the assigned reading, touch on these topics making use of specific references to the novel:

Distinguish differences between states in a federal system such as Australia is.
Review what makes the Aboriginal experience in Australia unique.
Identify the grounds for secessionism that breaks away from an independent state, whether on moral grounds or policy differences.
Explain Kim Scott’s juxtaposition of the two characters who represent native culture and customs on the one hand and white colonist society on the other as they increasingly confront each other.
Speculate about the differences in values between the Noongar people Scott writes about and other cultural groups.
Give your own appraisal of the character of the nineteenth-century whaling industry.
Depict how Americans are portrayed in Scott’s novel. 

Assignment Content

Prepare an 8-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, with detailed speaker notes, that discusses the health care service provider selected. Class, for each of the five bullet points below, be sure to describe in detail the application to your specific healthcare service provider; avoid general statements. The topic may be easier to address if by describing a profession. Examples: Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Midwife, Dentist, family practice doctor, acupuncturist, endocrinologist.

Complete the following in your presentation:
Identify the selected health care service provider.
Describe the services provided and who they are intended to serve.
Identify the roles of various stakeholders the selected provider will encounter.
Identify emerging roles associated with the healthcare service provider.
Identify current and future trends that may have an impact on this provider of health care services.

Cite any references to support your assignment.

Format your presentation according to APA guidelines.

Assignment Content

Imagine youve been selected to present at a local event about health care services provided to your community.

Create a 11-slide presentation that discusses health care providers, services, and usage.

Part 1: Health Care Services

Mental health services
Emergency management or disaster preparedness
Military and veteran services

Complete the following in your presentation:
Identify the selected health care service providers services above.
Describe the health care needs of the populations served by these providers.
Identify 3 services or products they provide to help with the quality of care.

Part 2: Consumer Access
Many factors can influence the access to and usage of health care services, such as:
Location
Services offered
Income
Health
Knowledge
Motivation

Describe how these factors can affect the usage of the health care services you covered in Part 1. Be sure to first research and understand what is meant by utilization or usage of services. A strong review will take one slide per service and describe three or more of the factors noted above in your discussion in each slide. Look for some posts about utilization in the discussion this week.

Include detailed speaker notes of at least 50 words per slide.

Cite any references to support your assignment. Class, references include the text books information found in a search engine and other written sources. Use a reference slide to show your references at the end of the presentation. The cover slide and reference slide do not county as part of the content of the presentation.

Format your presentation according to APA guidelines.

1. Suppose that you have the following production function:
?? = 100??1/3??2/3
Where k represents the units of capital employed at production, L is the number of labor hours
employed for total production. The wage rate equals to $18 per hour. The cost of capital equals
$2,000 per unit.
a) What are the returns of scale for this production function? Prove it
b) You are currently employing 100 hours of labor. Calculate your total costs, average cost
and marginal costs of labor and capital if K=100 units.
c) Which input is more productive? Should you employ more labor or more capital?
d) Draw the production function, MPK and MPL for the different values of K and L.
2. Suppose that you are a firm that produces violins. You have a production technology to
produce violins that is
?? = ??1/2??1/2
Where k represents the units of capital employed and L is the labor hours employed to produce
the violins. Y is the value of the total production of violins. Assume that labor costs $20 per hour
and that rental price of capital is $400 per unit.
a) If the firm uses 500 units of capital. Calculate your optimal choice of labor to produce
$50,000 worth of violins.
b) What is the marginal cost of labor and the marginal cost of capital? Calculate the value if
the firm uses now 1000 units of capital and needs 1500 hours of labor.
3. Calculate the MPK and the MPL for these production functions:
?? = ??1/3??1/3 also prove what are the returns to scale that this production function presents.
Y=AK also give proof of the returns to scale
Y=K+2L give proof of the returns to scale
?? = ????2 give proof of the returns to scale
4. If a firm produces good called Y following this production function
?? = 400??1/2??1/2
Can you calculate the real wage the firm should pay for L=45 hours and knowing that the firm
uses 250 units o capital? What is the rental price? Draw the graphs to illustrate the equilibrium.
