Why do we idealize the rise to a state level society and subsequent conquering and exploitation of one another? Do you think we would be better off if we went back to a hunter-gatherer society where we live in balance with what nature provides? At a hunter-gatherer level, everyone is equal (remember that term egalitarian?) and resources are shared. What new diseases are products of globalization? Where can we see examples of agriculture destroying the environment in the United States historically? What does sustainable development mean? How much of the world’s population is currently living in poverty?

Differentiate between training and development. Describe the components of the ADDIE model of training and development. Understanding Organizations obtaining the human resources they need will eventually be faced with the requirement of upgrading their existing human resource capabilities.

Introduction to Training and Development

This video can be viewed online.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
An organization is a social unit of people structured and managed to meet a need or pursue collective goals. As such, an organization is only as good as the people that make up that organization. The term human capital is frequently used to describe this extremely important organizational resource. To compete in today’s dynamic and challenging economy, firms need knowledgeable, competent, and motivated people. There are basically two ways organizations can acquire the skilled human resources needed to be successful: they can hire them from outside or develop them from inside. This is sometimes referred to as the buy or build decision. This book is about the latter—the process of “building” human resource capabilities through training and development.
Even organizations that pursue primarily a “buying” (selection) strategy for Describe the strategic importance of training and development in an organization.

1 Differentiate between training and development.

2 Describe the components of the ADDIE model of training and development.

3 Understanding Organizations obtaining the human resources they need will eventually be faced with the requirement of upgrading their existing human resource capabilities.

For an organization to survive and prosper under rapidly changing environmental conditions, its employees must adapt by continually adding new knowledge, skills, and abilities to their repertoire. Further, organizations must maintain an internal pool of employees capable of moving into higher-level positions. It is through training and development programs that human resource departments are able to upgrade and add to the existing competencies and capabilities of an organization’s internal labor pool. It is also through well-conceived training and development programs that, at least in part, an organization’s reputation as being either a desirable or an undesirable place to work is established. This reputation, in turn, plays an important role in the ability of the organization to recruit and select top quality candidates in the first place.

Getting pregnant at a young age before marriage and alone. A lot of new mothers are ending up pregnant at a young age and alone and are looking for help and encouragement. I know of so many mothers who ended up in the labor and delivery room alone with just the doctor and nurses but were too afraid to ask if they can hear words of encouragement and can get the help needed in the labor room. There are so many young mothers now that are depressed and are going thru postpartum depression. I would like to write an article called, “How to Be a Successful Single Mom doing it alone and beating the odds”. Though I have people telling me that it can’t be done, I have started my own Journal and Blog to help other mothers who are in those shoes I was in when I was pregnant. The reaction from I got from my Blog was amazing because I didn’t think I would get so many single moms coming to vent and ask for advice. One said I would love to help you blog on your page to reach out to more moms who feel the way we do. It felt great that I had other moms wanting to help with my blog and wanted to join in on reaching out to other moms to be that listening ear they needed.

Outline

  1. Introduction and main idea: Getting pregnant at a young age, I wouldn’t want anyone to go through what I went through without any help or having anyone there just to keep your head up letting you know that you are not alone and have all the help you need.
  2. Background information: Getting other moms who were and are in those shoes to help me out by joining my blog to get their stories out and to reach other moms who need the help and someone to talk to so that they don’t think they are alone in this.
  3. I started my blog and from there it just got out to other moms that needed someone to talk to and also got other moms wanting to join my blog.
  4. At the same time, we have reached at least 100 moms, but this is just the beginning.

III.        I wrote my first blog, and it was called “Pregnant with my first and didn’t imagine having to do it alone.”

Write a “How-to” Informative Essay. Teach the reader how to do something. Pick your own topic, but avoid overly common topics such as “how to change a tire.”

“How-to” Informative Essay

For this assignment, write a “How-to” Informative Essay. Your essay should teach the reader how to do something. You may pick your own topic, but avoid overly common topics such as “how to change a tire.” (If you do pick a common topic, consider how you may approach it in a new and interesting way. See your textbook’s advice for how to target a specific audience, for example.)

Below is a reminder of some recent examples of how-to essays for this class:

  • How to prepare campfire coffee in an easy and affordable way
  • How to prepare for a driver’s test
  • How to make Kahlua rum-flavored buttercream
  • How to build a weatherproof shooting house for hunters
  • How to prepare yourself for going to a protest
  • How a first-time buyer can negotiate with a car salesman
  • How to make your own customized wig
  • How to save money while living in a college dorm
  • How to care for a person who has dementia

As you can see, the topics vary widely, yet each focuses on a specific task and targets a narrow audience. Likewise, your topic can be unusual and off-the-wall or it can be somewhat common. Either way, it must target an audience that does not know the information you possess but wants or needs to know it.

Your informative essay should include all of the following:

  • An introduction that engages the reader. (Even if you can assume your readers needs this information, you must still draw them in and give them a persuasive purpose.)
  • An overview
  • Several of the other Eight Teaching Tips (imperatives, examples, whys, what not to do, and so forth)
  • Avoid COIK (see p. 239)
  • A conclusion that wraps up your essay without repeating what you’ve already said.

Additional Requirements:

  • 500-800 words
  • APA Style
  • Avoid using first person (“In this paper, I will teach you . . . .”; “I think . . .”) ; avoid using personal experiences.
  • If you use research to support your points, cite and document your sources according to APA Style.
