In her poem, “Human Family,” Maya Angelou expresses the idea that we are more similar than we are different. I like this poem because it doesn’t dismiss our differences and challenges me to treat others with dignity and compassion. Share a positive intercultural interaction you have had and explain what factors contributed to the positive experience.

Scenario
You are an independent contractor who has been hired by a multinational technology company to increase productivity at one branch office. The location in question is failing miserably and your contract with this company is a last ditch effort to bring this location’s productivity up, or else it will be shut down. The designers haven’t submitted a good, usable design to headquarters in months.

When you begin your work figuring out what’s going wrong, you immediately see many red flags. Records show that employees call in sick frequently, come in late, leave early, and several complaints between employees have been filed by Human Resources.

When you visit the office, you are immediately struck by what a dismal environment you see. Florescent lights flicker over beige cubicles, ambient noise of machines buzzing and phones ringing fills your ears, and employees look bored and tired. You notice only one communal work space piled over with old projects and clutter. The supply room is sparse. The break room is small and cluttered, and nobody is using it.

You decide to interview employees and learn some alarming information; employees mostly work alone, do not seem to know each other well, some outright dislike one another, they report having no fun or enjoyment while at work, and some suffer chronic work-related health problems such as migraines and back pain. You notice wonderful diversity among employees, yet nobody seems to appreciate or understand the unique perspectives of their colleagues.

It is clear to you that this office is not conducive to the kind of creative collaboration necessary to pull it out of its slump. Using what you know about the importance of art in the world and workplace, you will come up with a plan to solve these problems.

Instructions
Assemble a portfolio of recommendations on how to turn this office from a non-productive location to a creative hub of productivity.

Portfolio should include the following parts:

Part 1

Compose an introduction (1-2 paragraphs) indicating the historical impact of art on modern culture, society, and the workplace.

Part 2

Create an infographic on how to use the arts to promote the following within the company:

Collaboration between colleagues
Multiculturalism/diversity
Community engagement
Part 3

Construct a visual model using diagram software of the ideal creative workspace that includes the following areas:

A space for individual work
A space for collaborative work
Public interaction area
Visual display areas
NOTE – You may add additional areas as you see fit.

Each area in the workspace must be clearly numbered and the following questions answered:

How will this space be used and by whom?
What Elements of Art and Principles of Design will be used in this space?
How does the space promote creativity and collaboration?
How will the arts be used to promote creativity and well-being?
Part 4

Create a descriptive resource list with contact data of at least six funding possibilities for art events. Each resource should briefly explain the resource and how the employer might use it.

Identify and explain 4 exceptions to the exclusionary rule established by the U.S. Supreme Court that allow for the search and/or seizure of evidence without a warrant.

Law enforcement officers and crime scene technicians must use caution and protect themselves at all times from contracting AIDS or hepatitis. Bodily fluids must always be treated as though they were infectious. Crime scene technicians most often use dust particle masks or N-95 masks at routine crime scenes. They are considered the most common type of respiratory protection. These masks are considered to be disposable and should be discarded ­after one use.

It is imperative that all personnel involved in entering and processing the crime scene wear personal protective equipment (PPE). This consists of items of clothing that are non-porous, such as crime scene suits, nitrile gloves (double gloving recommended), face masks, and eye protection. These items will protect the CSI from exposure to blood-borne pathogens, most chemical and drug residues, and other contaminants that are health hazards. In addition, hair nets and booties over the shoes will help avoid contamination of the crime scene.

Research the following points, and write a 5 pages paper fully explaining each point:

Identify and explain 4 exceptions to the exclusionary rule established by the U.S. Supreme Court that allow for the search and/or seizure of evidence without a warrant.
Patent medicines used to be dispensed by pharmacists in powder form using a pharmacist’s or druggist’s fold. Explain this method of packaging and why it has been adopted by Crime Scene Investigators for packaging trace evidence.
How should investigators handle trace evidence that is stuck on an object found at the crime scene? Explain the exception to this procedure.
When a motor vehicle, boat, or aircraft is present, what special considerations should the Crime Scene Investigator take?

Describe your chosen company and identify how you intend to approach the analysis for your Summative Assessment.

/in /by

Aim: To research a small or medium sized enterprise in preparation for the Summative Assessment and to demonstrate proficiency in critical analysis by implementing theory into practice We would like you to begin preparing for your Summative Assessment by collating research on a small or medium sized enterprise (SME). You might like to select one of the companies identified in this course and explore how it has developed.
You could consider a company that works in a specific area of travel, for example, adventure travel or cruise liners, and explore its use of the internet and how this has influenced possible future strategies. Alternatively, you could choose to examine likely future changes in the internet, for example this might involve the use of mobile media, mobile booking and more sophisticated presentation technologies, and explore how this will impact on the company’s strategy.
it is important that you make sure that you select a company that is small enough to enable analysis within the bounds of the assessment. An analysis of a large, global endeavour is possible but the level of information required would make it too complex and time consuming to attempt within the limitations of this course.
As you approach your research, try to maintain a entrepreneurial and dynamic mindset. Identify areas that your company’s strategy could target and direct your research towards gathering relevant data.
Write a summary of your research of no more than 1,000 words in length. This summary should describe your chosen company and identify how you intend to approach the analysis for your Summative Assessment.
Message from the tutor: Essentially the formative assessment requires you to write a brief “proposal” of your research idea about the topic/company/organisation that you want to discuss in your summative coursework. You can include a little bit of background analysis and then talk about the tools/models that you will use in your analysis. In a way, it is preparation for the summative coursework.

Write your ideas and thoughts in a short paper that is 2 to 3 pages in length, double spaced using 12 point font.

***IMPORTANT NOTE: Only your in-text citations and reference list need to be in APA format. The body of the paper simply needs to be double-spaced in clear, 12-point font. If you prefer MLA over APA for your references, that is fine also.***
