...Case Study: Social Media Policies 1) In Washington, a construction company called Rain City Contractors fired five employees for posting a video on YouTube in regards to dangerous work conditions. A video was posted in 2008 showing three employees voicing their concerns with the public of what it is like to work for this company. About two weeks later they were fired along with two people they thought were involved as well. Their work place conditions were horrible. They were never trained with the hazardous chemicals they worked with but they were forced to wear badges that stated they were certified to work with them. The NLRB determined the video was protected because the employees voiced concerns about safety, (Protected Concerted Activity). A complaint was issued for the case to appear in court. On the second day of trail, the company settled with the employees. 2) In order to play this role the HR function needs to be transformed. The standard HR department filters resumes, handles grievances, conducts training, purchases salary surveys and maybe has a diversity program. While this is a start, it is not strategic. This process becomes automated and bureaucratic and, as the world changes around it, obsolete. A strategic HR department is looking at the age make up at various levels of the firm, is looking to understand the generation differences and address them. A strategic HR function is working to make the firm a great place to work. They are identifying what...

...of the other store. According to arentfox.com, “Morris brought the book about worker’s rights to the store and placed it in the break room where other employees looked through it. The book covered matters such as benefits, discrimination, the right to organize, safety, health and sanitation.” (2013) This book was brought in as a result of conversations with the manager from the Las Vegas store. In a complaint by the NLRB, they claimed that the 3 employees were released violating the sections 7 and 8 of the NLRA. The decision was based on the facts that it was a discussion between company employees about work conditions. Section 7 states that “the right ... to form, join, or assist labor organizations ... and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.” (2013) By firing the three employees they showed that employees at the time were not allow to collaborate about the issues within the work place. In section 8, it explains, “interfere with,...

...behavioral expectations, affection, education, and physical punishment in child rearing practices. In this paper I intend to discuss the differences and similarities between the Belizean culture of Central America and the Trinidadian culture of the West Indies ways of child rearing. The two cultures follow two separate ways of rearing children in a study done by Annette Lareau; concerted cultivation and natural growth. Each of the two cultures I have chosen rear children in one of the two rearing styles discussed by Lareau. To begin Lareau provides evidence that not only parents but the social class of parents play pivotal roles of childrearing; due to the cause that the social class of the parents assist in the manner in which a child is raises. In Lareau’s 2003 study she provided evidence and theories of two specific types of child rearing: concerted cultivation and natural growth. Lareau stated “Concerted cultivation is the child rearing method that middle class parents use focusing on not only caring for their child, but developing a personality by enrolling their children in many structured activities and developing language skills.” Whereas Lareau continues, “Natural growth is the child-rearing method that working class and poor...

The encouragement of going to college became more intense over generations. Early on it was about completing high school. Parents seem to have an understanding and significance of institution of the church in earlier years (Cozby, 2009). Among generations, parents encouraged children to go to church and to...

...Developmental Psychology 10/2/12 I think so many factors influence parenting. I would like to start this off with one of the most important factors I think that influence parenting, and that is having a child unplanned and not being ready for it versus planning for a child and being ready for it. I am a little old fashioned when it comes to certain things and especially when I think of how I would raise my child. I do not have one, and I am a lesbian. I am not sure when I will have one, but I want to with a potential partner, hopefully she can carry or we can adopt as well. When I say I am a little old fashioned I guess I am referring to how I would raise my child. When I see the way my friends act with their kids, I do not think they are doing anything wrong, but I think to myself I would not do that. I believe a lot the children I see now don’t have any manners. When I go over to my friend’s house and I see the children running and screaming at the top of their lungs, then cutting through parents and jumping on the couch, I think oh my, I wouldn’t let my children do that at our house or anyone else’s. If I even thought of doing anything like that when I was younger I would have got spanked. I definitely would not hit my child I do not believe in that, but I do believe in strict discipline. Another thing I would be strict or serious on is how my child answers or responds to me. I would teach my child to respond to me and others properly. For example if my friend was...

...let a kid be a kid, that’s how you learn what’s right and wrong, your personal likes and dislikes and have a better chance to mold yourself as a person and not be molded like a product straight off the factory line. A Chinese mother will stress academic excellence, not encouraging but making, even if harsh threats and degrading are involved for their child to have perfect A’s and be number one in not pretty much everything, but EVERYTHING that that child does. A Western parent most of the times settles for a pass, “good job Bobby, you got a C in your social study’s test”, as a Chinese parent would just about cut your finger off for failing said test. While Chinese parents spend approximately 10 times as long every day drilling academic activities with their children, Western kids are more likely to participate in sports and play on their cell phones or game...

...Juvenile Delinquency & Single Parent Homes Juvenile delinquency and single parent homes is an important topic in today’s society given the fact that more and more children are growing up in a home without one parent, whether it be the mother or the father. After all the rate of divorce for first time marriages in America is about 56% and many children growing up sometimes do not even know one parent, typically the father. I chose the subject of juvenile delinquency and single parent homes because I am the product of a single parent home. Growing up I never knew my father; he left when I was a baby. I grew up living with my mother and grandmother, two people who loved me and made sure I was well taken care of. I knew other children had a father, but it never made a difference to me until I was eight years old. My mother insisted that I go to church every Sunday, so we went to St. Michael’s Lutheran Church. In the adult Sunday school class the subject of single parent homes came up. And John Steben, one of the elders in the church, proceeded to say that not only were single parent homes were not Christian and an abomination in the eyes of God, but that children of single parent homes were more likely to get involved and destructive behavior such as drinking, sex, drugs, and even crime. And specifically I was going to get involved in the destructive behavior. Needless to say that never happened. I think it is truly said that single parent...

...want to raise their children. Parenting styles play a vital role for children’s better development and life. There are two main kinds of parenting styles parents use to raise their children such as, a cooperative and a dominating. However, there are several differences and similarities between a cooperative parenting style and a dominating parenting style. The first difference is in how parents show love and warmth. Cooperative parents show love, feelings and emotions toward their children. They are more friendly, encouraging and supportive. They communicate to children with fun styles to make their relationship much stronger and closer. For example, cooperative parents play with their children and ask about their school, friends and activities in each day. On the other hand, dominating parents don’t show much love and warmth even though they do love their children. It can produce negative qualities in children minds. Sometimes children may be afraid to communicate with dominating parents. It may create distance between parents and children. For example, dominating parents often communicate rudely with their children and don’t give much attention to children. Children are incomplete without their parents love and support, so they just want little attention from their parents. Both parenting styles have some differences, however they both have some similarities too. The first similarities is both parents are caring and over protective towards their...

...Assessment Tools Clinicians Can Use to Identify Parenting Styles Questionnaires One of the most obvious techniques utilized in parenting assessment includes, questionnaires that parents fill in. Questionnaires enable a clinician to figure out the parent’s view concerning parenting knowledge, feelings regarding the role of parenting, attitudes, support from others in their lives, or stressful situations. Information, feelings, and attitudes are vital and are required in order to understand a family; additionally, they can be essential in goal setting (Klykylo & Kay, 2012). Interviews Interview strategies that question parents what they could have done dissimilarly when adverse situations are highlighted, can elicit data on parental problem-solving capabilities, and a parent’s potential to be self-reflective. This technique is also efficient in recognizing parental strengths and affirmative occurrences of a child’s behavior (Frick, Barry, & Kamphaus, 2010). Observation The essence of parent-child observation is to give the clinician a chance to view instances of interactions between a child and the parent. It can also highlight other vital areas like a child’s wants, strengths, parental mental adjustments, and the level of tension present between the child and parent. Areas of focus involve clues of emotional attachment, the rationality of the expectations of the parent from the child, communication skills, other matters like the relevance of toys and other items the parent...

...different in others, but the sole purpose is to see your child grow into a healthy, happy, successful individual. Chinese mothers restrict their children from doing what they want to do, they believe that “they know what’s best for their children”, (Chua, 2011) which is true amongst both techniques. The difference is that Chinese mothers will restrict what their children can do and force them to study and practice for hours until they have perfected it. They want their children to be the best at everything they do, and this requires compromising fun and friends as a child. This Chinese style restricts them from having play dates, attend sleepovers, be in school plays, watch TV or play computer games, or even choose their own extracurricular activities. (Chua, 2011) Rosin brings up a point that “Ms. Chua’s parenting prescription is that is exists wholly apart from any passion or innate talent”. (Rosin, 2011) How can a child be passionate about something they have been instilled to “love”? When all you know...
