The purpose of this assignment is to examine a business organization through a sociological lens.  Students will apply the concepts of the McDonaldization of Society, rationalization, alienation, and the “iron cage” to a business of their choice.Task:After reading about George Ritzer’s concept of the McDonaldization of society, think of another example (organization) besides the fast food industry where you believe this concept may be applied.  Several good examples may be Amazon.com, Walmart, or General Motors.First, in your own words, explain McDonaldization, including a discussion of the dimensions Ritzer outlines (efficiency, predictability, calculability/quantity, nonhuman technology, control).  Please use your organization as an example. Describe how each of dimensions of McDonaldization applies to your organization.  Also discuss what might be the advantages and disadvantages of each dimension for the organizationProvide some comments on the significance of McDonaldization for your example.  Do you believe McDonaldization makes the organization you observed operate better or not? Why or why not?  Define and describe the concept of the “irrationality of rationality” and describe whether or not this concept is seen in your selected organization.  Why or why not?Provide some concluding comments on the significance of McDonaldization in society. How might McDonaldization lead to Marx’s concept of alienation?  Describe how the McDonaldization of society may lead to Weber’s concept of the “Iron Cage.”  Do you see McDonaldization as a positive in our current society? Why or why not?  Is McDonaldization in any way beneficial for your own social experiences?Expectations and Criteria for Success:Your essay should be approximately 500 wordsThe essay should follow instructionsThe essay uses correct, standard English grammar and mechanics, and is free of typos as well as punctuation, capitalization, and word choice errorsThe essay incorporates multiple, accurate references to online and text content as support for thesis/claims/argument.

Write an approximately 4-5 page essay discussing your personal views regarding the possibility of outside cultures criticizing Brazil for its environmental policies or Nigeria or Senegal for their cultural practices of female genital mutilation (FGM), in light of the arguments made by relativism, objectivism, and pluralism.Is it possible for us to make valid moral judgments about other cultures?  Or does respect for the world’s diversity require that we refrain from making such claims?  Does that mean we have to live with practices in other cultures that we find morally wrong?  Can we find any legitimate basis for making cross-cultural moral judgments?  Or does the fact that we can’t make cross-cultural moral judgments mean that we also can’t make any judgments about the practices in our own culture?We’re starting out by looking at some articles about the fires in the Amazon and about the topic of female genital mutilation (FGM).  What do you think about these topics?  Can someone who’s not from an Amazonian country tell Brazil to stop destroying the rain forest?  Can someone from a country where FGM is not practiced make a judgment against it?  On the flip side, must we simply tolerate actions that we find harmful to the planet as a whole or which cause such serious harm to women?Be sure to explain the arguments that a cultural relativist, a moral objectivist, and a moral pluralist would make regarding judgments by outside cultures on the practices of Brazil, Nigeria, and Senegal.  You need to demonstrate a strong understanding of each perspective, so carefully explain the key ideas behind each theory.  Be sure to discuss the arguments made by Rovane, Shaw, Harman, and Kekes. Then, explain whether you agree or disagree with each theory.  What about each theory do you find persuasive, and what do you find problematic?  Which view makes the most sense to you, and why?  Feel free to argue for any theory, but be sure to explain each view in detail and accurately.  Imagine that the person reading your paper has never heard of any of these theories before, so strive to explain them as completely and as clearly as possible.You may only use course materials–the reading assignments, PowerPoint presentations, and lectures.  Papers must be in 12-point font and double-spaced.  No title page is needed–just put your name and UC 410 in the top left corner of the first page–and you also do not need a reference or works cited page.  Refer to each author by last name, to make it clear that you are discussing their ideas (cite “PowerPoint” for any general points in a PowerPoint that aren’t specific to one philosopher).  Alternatively, you can use any citation format you prefer (APA, MLA, Chicago). Your grade will be based on the following factors:  (1) Did you correctly explain the main tenets of ethical relativism (including the distinctions between descriptive relativism and cultural relativism); (2) Did you accurately describe the key elements of the philosophical criticisms of ethical relativism (which we have broadly termed moral objectivism); (3) Did you correctly explain the key ideas behind moral pluralism; (4) Did you correctly discuss some criticisms and strengths of relativism, objectivism, and pluralism; and (5) Did you provide strong reasons in support of your own views regarding the approach that you find most persuasive. I use holistic grading, so I assess the paper as a whole, rather than assigning points to specific elements.  However, my primary focus is on how well you demonstrate an understanding of the key ideas of relativism, objectivism, and pluralism.  A paper taking a clear position towards one theory without fully explaining the underlying ideas will receive a lower grade than a paper that demonstrates a clear understanding of the three theories but which fails to explain or justify why one theory is more persuasive. Feel free to take any position regarding the usefulness or validity of any of these ideas.  What I am interested in is not the result you reach, but how you get there–can you offer some good reasons for your position.  A good reason is one that requires a response by someone who disagrees with you but is not rejecting your ideas out of hand–it makes them say, “That’s a good point, but…”Again, remember to imagine that your reader has never heard of these ideas before, so strive to give an explanation of the theories that will teach someone how to understand the competing ideas.  If you do that, you will have shown me that you understand these concepts.  An A paper will demonstrate a full and correct understanding of the ideas, a B paper will not go into as much detail and may have some minor mistakes, and a C paper will just talk about the theories without explaining how they function while also making significant errors.

Essay should be one cohesive paper with accurately documented sources in APA format. You should not number each point, but rather incorporate each seamlessly in your essay.Specifically citing your reading content from Chapters 1 and 2, please explain how a social science perspective toward drug use differs from a moralistic, or punitive viewpoint.Explain how social scientists study the “correlates of drug use”. Giving specific examples, explain the strengths and weaknesses of these types of studies.Referring to Chapter 2, explain how social scientists describe the relationship between drug use and crime in society. Be sure to analyze the difference between drug use as a “cause” of crime versus being “correlated” with crime.Referring directly to the content of Chapter 3, explain the ways in which the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates pharmaceutical drugs in the United States.Continuing with your analysis of Chapter 3, do you think that the federal government should regulate recreational drugs in the same way that it regulates pharmaceutical drugs? Why or why not?

Planning for compliance with federal regulations and mandates requires policies and procedures that anticipate, prevent, or solve compliance issues within an organization and often have associated legal and ethical risks. HR is functionally responsible for ensuring organizational compliance in these key areas, and HR professionals must have foundational knowledge of the current legal requirements for an organization. They often do this in partnership with the organization’s legal team because of the complexity of the issues and the risks associated with non-compliance.When faced with a problem, employees typically go directly to their managers for support and guidance. However, in more serious situations, it is the managers who go to Human Resources for consultation and guidance, to ensure that proper steps are taken to ensure optimal outcomes. Specific and thorough policies and procedures must be developed by HR to guide, track, and trend HR related compliance issues that both arise, and which are identified, as part of risk management.This week you focused on a law fundamental to every organization with over 15 employees. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin and religion. Every human resource professional should be intimately familiar with this law and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which is the agency responsible for enforcing federal laws regarding discrimination or harassment against a job applicant or an employee in the United States.To complete this Assignment, review the learning resources for this week and respond to the following bullets, which are focused on key labor relations issues that impact the role of Human Resources, in a 2- to 3-page paper.Title VIIDefine discrimination and what types of discrimination are prohibited by Title VII?Describe one example of a Title VII violation in an organization.What could HR have done to prevent this occurrence?Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)Define the EEOC and describe how it relates to discrimination in an organization?Describe one example of an EEOC violation in an organization.What could HR have done to prevent this occurrence?Your Assignment must include 3 references to support your thinking.

Upon hearing the stories of sometimes horrific atrocities clients or client families have experienced, you as a social worker may find yourself confronting existential questions such as Why? For example, Why do horrible events happen to good people? Why do people abuse their children?Trying to make sense of such trauma is not easy, and you may seek answers to these existential questions your whole life. And yet, there are opportunities for growth despite trauma for both clients and social workers. This is known as post-traumatic growth, where a renewed sense purpose or a more profound outlook on life is the by-product.In this Discussion, you work to seek meaning from the trauma your clients experience and the subsequent healing you help your clients achieve in yoursocial work practice.To prepare:Read about trauma-informed social work, and read this article listed in the Learning Resources: Vis, J.-A., & Boynton, H. M. (2008). Spirituality and transcendent meaning making: possibilities for enhancing posttraumatic growth. Journal of Religion & Spirituality in Social Work, 27(1/2): 69–86. http://dx.doi.org.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/10.1080/15426430802113814Post:PLEASE USE SUBHEADINGS INCORPORATING THE INSTRUCTIONS INTO THE DISCUSSION. ALSO USE IN TEXT CITATIONS. I HAVE ATTACHED THE TIFFANI BRADLEY CASE WHICH IS WHAT IS BEING ASKED WHEN IT SAYS “REFLECT ON AN EXISTENTIAL QUESTION THAT MIGHT ARISE IN WORKING WITH THE CLIENT IN THE CASE STUDY YOU HAVE SELECTED THROUGHOUT THE COURSE”. THE POST DOES NOT HAVE TO BE EXTRA LONG AS YOU SHOULD LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO RESPOND TO TWO COLLEAGUES AND MY PROFESSORS QUESTION.In 1 sentence, identify an existential question with which you have grappled in relation to a client who has been traumatized.Reflect on your fieldwork, or perhaps identify an existential question that might arise in working with the client in the case study you have selected throughout the course.In 3 to 4 brief sentences, describe where there is potential for growth for the client as a result of the trauma.In 3 to 4 brief sentences, explain where there is potential for growth for you, the social worker,as a result of listening to the client’s stories and bearing witness to their trauma.Describe any challenges you may experience between the meaningyou hold based on your personal beliefs and working within the client’s potentially different belief framework.You will respond to 2 colleagues/and professor post once I upload their posts.
