I’m using this as my transcript to read off of when I do my video. The answers below just need to be answered.

  1. In the 1997 case of University and Community College System of Nevada v Farmer, Farmer was initially awarded $40K in damages for violation of the Equal Pay Act. The university won an appeal in front of the State of Nevadas Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, leaving the lower courts verdict in place. Defend or critique the finding of the Nevada Supreme Court using a deontological or teleological approach.
  2. The WatchMark-Comnitel Corporation has undergone significant changes since their case of outsourcing. They were renamed Vallent Corporation, and later were acquired by IBM. This shows the competitive nature of the software industry. Based on this knowledge, examine the outsourcing actions taken by Watchmark-Comnitel from the deontological and teleological perspectives.
  3. Present an argument that it is easier for employers to comply with diversity legislation in Canada than it is in the United States.

o Use the same format as the .

o Include an APA-formatted title page.

o Include four to six peer-reviewed sources.

o Include a one-paragraph annotation in your own words for each source.

Note. This will be the basis for your literature review in the Research Proposal assignment.  

MUST USE THE FORMAT that is ATTACHED!!!!!!!!

About 1 page with citation, does not have to be more than one page.

Locate a peer reviewed research article that includes Psychosocial development theory and briefly describe the study that includes the theory. Then, explain how the psychosocial development theory was incorporated in the study. Be sure to include whether the research supported the theory, further informed theory, or did not support the theory.

Students should locate natural settings for these observations (e.g., friend or family homes, child
care settings, backyards, playgrounds, malls, senior centers, restaurants, etc.) in which there
exists a strong potential for interaction partners to be observed. You are free to use relatives
and/or friends! Students should observe each set of interaction partners for a
minimum of three
hours
(all at once or in multiple time frames), focusing on
verbal and nonverbal
communication
for each person for each assignment, and then complete a written summary.
Students must follow this format for each written summary of their observations:
I.
Introduction:
o
   This section must include a detailed description of what research and theory
explain are the typical interaction patterns, communication skills and abilities
and/or, language skills one would expect to see in the age groups of each
interaction partner. For example, if you are observing a child and an adult, you
must explain what the research/theory says are the typical interaction patterns,
communication skills and abilities of BOTH the adult AND the child. If you only

discuss one or the other, points will be deducted.
o
   This entire section must be grounded in
communication research and theory
using
only scholarly, academic sources websites are NOT acceptable sources for any
assignment in this class. Each paper should have a minimum of 4 scholarly
sources.
o
   This section should be a minimum of approximately 2-3 pages in length
II.
Narrative:
o
   This section must contain rich, detailed descriptions of the specific behaviors and
interactions of BOTH partners that you observe during your time observing the
interaction partners.
o
   This section must accurately reflect the amount of time you spent observing the
interaction partners. Brief, cursory descriptions are not enough.
o
   This section must also include as many details as possible in order to accurately
describe the skills and abilities of each interaction partner exhibited during your
observations.
o
   This section should be a minimum of approximately 3-4 pages in length
III.
Assessment:
o
   This section must include your assessment of whether the interactive partners are
communicating the way research and theory says they should be communicating.
You must explain if both partners are interacting in ways research/theory say they
should be interacting.
o
   Your assessment must be based upon your observations in comparison with what
one would expect to see while watching the interactive partners communicate.
o
   Each statement of assessment must include evidence from your observations and
from the communication research and theory.
o
   This section is where you combine your introduction information and observation
information to prove your assessment is accurate. Yes, ideally you will be
repeating information from the introduction, narrative and including more outside
empirical evidence to fully support your assessment of the interactive partners.
o
   Again, this section must be ground in communication research and theory
combined with evidence from your observations.
o
   As stated previously, websites are NOT acceptable sources for any assignment in
this class.
o
   This section should be a minimum of approximately 3-4 pages in length

According to the Autism Society in America, autism “knows no racial, ethnic or social boundaries” (Boutot 2017, p.4).  Is this statement accurate?  Are there differences in the prevalence of autism across race/ethnicity?  Are there factors that may influence children from different races/cultures in the identification/diagnosis of ASD?  Are there differences in family adaptation to the autism diagnosis?  Express your opinion and address these questions based on documented facts/research. (Use APA)

 

Please answer each question separately and in complete paragraphs (at least 3 and APA).
