Describe how work attitudes are similar and different from one another. Describe two aspects of EQ that can be different in another person. What does this tell us about differences across people?

EQ/ATTITUDES

1.- There are many job attitudes, the definition of some of those attitudes may “overlap” with one another. Note that one attitude – job satisfaction – was described as a sum of many facets.

(a) Describe how work attitudes are similar and different from one another (describe at least 3 work attitudes),

(b) discuss whether the facets of job satisfaction are indeed different or a single thing. Include your own experience in your answer (Hint: you could describe the two most important facets contributing to your own “overall” job satisfaction).

2.- Is it okay to get angry at work? What about crying? Would this be the same for someone in a service job where cheerfulness is expected by a customer (e.g. a waiter/waitress)? What about other jobs or organizations that could be considered very emotionally charged (describe what you would think is a job or organization that is very emotionally charged).

3.- Provide a detailed EI (EQ) appraisal for someone you know (yourself, boss, coworker, family member – you may not mention the person by name, but make sure it is a true person). Describe the five EI components mentioned by Goleman and use them to illustrate the appraisal. How do you think this person developed this skill? What do you think are the likely consequences? How does that person’s EI reflect or differ from his or her general intelligence (IQ)?

4.- Describe two aspects of EQ that can be different in another person. What does this tell us about differences across people?

Part One: Asking and Answering Questions

Many of us are familiar with the six traditional journalist questions: Who? What? Where? Why? When? and How? These questions help journalists identify the details of an event so that it can be reported on clearly and accurately. However, when using journalist questions for other writing projects, these six questions can be applied with more variety. After all, you are not just “reporting” on an issue; you are also analyzing arguments and constructing an argument of your own.

So how does a writer apply these six questions in a more expansive way? In our discussion board, we imagined a writer considering the argument that Omaha Public Libraries should eliminate late fees. In generating ideas for this argument, we might first begin by asking “Who is affected by this policy?” That’s clearly a useful question to ask, but it is not the only who question we might ask. If we push ourselves further, we could ask a variety of who questions: Who has the power to change this policy? Who is hurt by this policy? Who is helped by this policy? Who needs to be informed about this policy? Who might be conflicted by this policy? Who is debating this policy in my community? Who uses library resources the most? Who doesn’t use these resources? Who funds the library? Who are the readers of my argument? Who is unexpectedly affected by this policy?

As you can see, our list of Who questions can go on somewhat indefinitely. The same applies for the other five journalist questions: What is the current policy? What is the proposed change? What steps are needed to enact the changes? What would be the effect on patrons? What would be the effect on librarians? What would be the effect on taxpayers?

By viewing journalist questions in this expansive sense, we can explore our understanding of subjects thoroughly and systematically.

In the first part of this assignment you will explore your issue by creating a list of journalist questions and answering them completely. Your questions and answers should demonstrate that you are building a big picture of the issue in your community, not simply approaching your argument from a one-sided perspective or as an intellectual exercise. You should use all six journalist questions, and for each, you should generate 2-3 useful varieties of the question, along with your answers to each. For example, you should write 2-3 useful who questions, 2-3 useful what questions, etc. and then write a brief answer for each question. You are free to and encouraged to write and answer more than 2-3 questions for each if it helps you build a greater understanding of your issue, but at a minimum, part 1 should contain 12 questions and answers.

Part Two: Analysis

Now that you have a big picture view of the issue in your community, it is time to review your answers and to analyze how you can apply this knowledge to build a constructive argument.

For the second half of your assignment, you will fully answer the following questions:

Which different groups or stakeholders share common ground on the issue and can form alliances? What is this common ground, and why do they share it?
Which different groups or stakeholders hold opposing views? What common ground or “shared realities,” as Dhar current policy calls them, do these opposing groups or stakeholders have? How might these shared realities be used to build bridges between opposing stakeholders?
What reasons in support of your position will be most persuasive to your readers, and why? What counter-arguments (reasons against your position) do you think are most convincing, and why? How might you rebut these reasons? What counter-arguments will you concede in order to build bridges and show that you are an arguer of good faith?

What “bad things” can happen when a successful phishing attack gives outsiders access to company networks and computers? How can employees avoid “biting” on a “phish?”

Discussion – Phishing

Write a short “newsletter” article (3 to 5 paragraphs) for the non-technical managers and employees at Sifers-Grayson to explain the following:
(a) What is Phishing? (Focus on phishing emails and targeted attacks that include spear phishing and whaling.)
(b) What “bad things” can happen when a successful phishing attack gives outsiders access to company networks and computers?
(c) How can employees avoid “biting” on a “phish?”
(d) How should employees report phishing attacks? Why is immediate reporting critical to stopping the attackers?
Since this article is for a newsletter, you may use an informal but professional tone (address the reader as “you,” use “we” and “our” to refer to the organization’s perspective). The focus of the article should be upon changing how people think about and respond to computer security incidents. Humor is good but should not lessen the severity of the problem.
Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your article.
