Write 5 pages thesis on the topic equal status of professional women in business and society. The paper seeks to discuss gender quotas for top jobs to encourage equality or tokenism in Canada.

For women to have an equal opportunity like the opposite sex, the government of Canada should consider women being on the board not only because they have the right but also they should be on the board because they are competent individuals. This means that equal opportunity for women and men depends on the education background and not gender whenever there is a chance for top jobs in the companies. Gender discrimination has been part and parcel of the government where women are not involved in boardrooms due to the fact that they are women, but today women are competent like men and they are able to handle any top management positions and manage it well (Newman, 2012). The issue of incompetence has been revolving around since, in the past, women were not put in election lists to be nominated for elections to boards simply because of gender discrimination. Despite women being competent they have not been considered as able individuals, the Canadian government should consider the competence of individual when there is an opportunity and gender should not be a factor that the government should look in the top jobs.

In Canada, imbalance of women in the positions of power has been the trend through globally the same disparity exists. This means that companies together with the government should implement gender quotas in order to encourage greater equality between men and women (Glendyne, 2011). Leadership balance can be a long-lasting solution to gender equality where the government should incorporate women in the political positions of power. Despite women advancing in education, they have been underrepresented in the leadership positions where they are discriminated due to gender. Balance of leadership can only be achieved when the government of Canada will set aside certain leadership positions to the women and men should not be allowed to contest&nbsp.with the women.&nbsp.

. How Many Different Estimating Techniques Were Discussed In The Case? 2. If Each Estimate Is Different, How Does A Project Manager Decide That One Estimate Is Better Than Another? 3. If You Were The Project Manager, Which Estimate Would You Use?

Barbara just received the good news: She was assigned as the project manager for a project that her company won as part of competitive bidding. Whenever a request for proposal (RFP) comes into Barbara’s company, a committee composed mainly of senior managers reviews the RFP. If the decision is made to bid on the job, the RFP is turned over to the Proposal Department. Part of the Proposal Department is an estimating group that is responsible for estimating all work. If the estimating group has no previous history concerning some of the deliverables or work packages and is unsure about the time and cost for the work, the estimating team will then ask the functional managers for assistance with estimating.

Project managers like Barbara do not often participate in the bidding process. Usually, their first knowledge about the project comes after the contract is awarded to their company and they are assigned as the project manager. Some project managers are highly optimistic and trust the estimates that were submitted in the bid implicitly unless, of course, a significant span of time has elapsed between the date of submittal of the proposal and the final contract award date. Barbara, however, is somewhat pessimistic. She believes that accepting the estimates as they were submitted in the proposal is like playing Russian roulette. As such, Barbara prefers to review the estimates.

One of the most critical work packages in the project was estimated at twelve weeks using one grade 7 employee full time. Barbara had performed this task on previous projects and it required one person full time for fourteen weeks. Barbara asked the estimating group how they arrived at this estimate. The estimating group responded that they used the three-point estimate where the optimistic time was four weeks, the most likely time was thirteen weeks, and the pes- simistic time was sixteen weeks.

Barbara believed that the three-point estimate was way off of the mark. The only way that this work package could ever be completed in four weeks would be for a very small project nowhere near the complexity of Barbara’s project. Therefore, the estimating group was not con- sidering any complexity factors when using the three-point estimate. Had the estimating group used the triangular distribution where each of the three estimates had an equal likelihood of occurrence, the final estimate would have been thirteen weeks. This was closer to the fourteen weeks that Barbara thought the work package would take. While a difference of 1 week seems small, it could have a serious impact on Barbara’s project and incur penalties for late delivery.

Case Study 735 

 

Barbara was now still confused and decided to talk to Peter, the employee that was assigned to do this task. Barbara had worked with Peter on previous projects. Peter was a grade 9 employee and considered to be an expert in this work package. As part of the discussions with Barbara, Peter made the following comments:

I have seen estimating data bases that include this type of work package and they all esti- mate the work package at about 14 weeks. I do not understand why our estimating group prefers to use the three point estimate.

“Does the typical data base account for project complexity when considering the esti- mates?” asked Barbara. Peter responded:

Some data bases have techniques for considering complexity, but mostly they just assume an average complexity level. When complexity is important, as it is in our project, analogy estimating would be better. Using analogy estimating and comparing the complexity of the work package on this project to the similar works packages I have completed, I would say that 16–17 weeks is closer to reality, and let’s hope I do not get removed from the project to put out a fire somewhere else in the company. That would be terrible. It is impossible for me to get it done in 12 weeks. And adding more people to this work package will not shorten the schedule. It may even make it worse.

Barbara then asked Peter one more question:

Peter, you are a grade 9 and considered as the subject matter expert. If a grade 7 had been assigned, as the estimating group had said, how long would it have taken the grade 7 to do the job?

Linda is starting a new cosmetic and clothing business and would like to make a net profit of approximately 10% after paying all the expenses, which include merchandise cost, store rent, employees’ salary, and electricity cost for the store. She would like to know how much the merchandise should be marked up so that after paying all the expenses at the end of the year she gets approximately 10% net profit on the merchandise cost. Note that after marking up the price of an item she would like to put the item on 15% sale. Write a program that prompts Linda to enter the total cost of the merchandise, the salary of the employees (including her own salary), the yearly rent, and the estimated electricity cost. The program then outputs how much the merchandise should be marked up so that Linda gets the desired profit.

 

Write 5 pages thesis on the topic the process of lightning and the lightning phenomenon.

Write 5 pages thesis on the topic the process of lightning and the lightning phenomenon. “Updrafts send the smaller positively charged particles upward and gravity pulls the bigger negatively charged particles downward. This results in clouds having their upper part positive charges and lower part negative charges” (Adekoya & Nolte, pp. 45-50). This partition of charges causes a large electric potential not only between clouds themselves but also between the clouds and the earth. This electrical potential sometimes contains a magnitude of million voltages. Ultimately, the electrical battle in the air collapse and lightning, the electrical expulsion between the areas of the cloud or between the cloud and the earth, takes place (Adekoya & Nolte, pp. 45-50).

A lightning strike can cause death several injuries to human beings. The method of injury is distinctive, and the demonstration differs from those of other electrical injuries. Lightning can injure people in many ways, such as it can impinge on a person directly or indirectly. It can cause heart damage or cardiac arrest. it is often responsible for causing temporary paralysis to seriously injured people. Lightning may displace the bones or completely damage them. it sometimes creates skull fractures and cervical spine injuries. Lungs might be damaged which creates difficulty in breathing. It causes eye injuries which results in visual problems.

It has been a notice by the experts that lightning causes more incidents in America annually than any other natural calamities. Thousands of lightning occurs every year and according to data an average of “82 persons die each year from 1995 to 2000 three out of every four lightning deaths from the South and Midwest of America and one out of every four deaths was work-related i.e. from farming and construction works” (Adekoya & Nolte, pp. 45-50). Many people are injured and many are killed due to lack of information or slapdash behavior during a thunderstorm.

Firstly, people should stay in safe places during a thunderstorm. However there are no entirely safe places, but some places are safer than others are.

Write a paper on the gendered nature of sexual harassment

I need some assistance with these assignment. the gendered nature of sexual harassment Thank you in advance for the help! Sandy Welsh’s article “Gender and Sexual Harassment” examines the social phenomenon that is sexual harassment situated within the workplace. She presents a comprehensive overview of its definition, measurement, the different theoretical approaches to it, and even gives recommendations for future research. It basically investigates extant research on sexual harassment in the workplace, with particular focus on its gendered overtones. Rhonda Lenton, Michael D. Smith, John Fox, and Norma Morra’s article, entitled “Sexual Harassment in Public Places: Experiences of Canadian Women,” expands the customary view of sexual harassment in that it always transpires within confined spaces like an office or university by creating a study in the form of an analytical survey that attempts to explore its etiology through the examination of the types, frequency and severity of harassment, as well as the characteristics of women most likely to be victimized, its theoretical implications, and its emotional and psychological effects (517).

Both articles have feminism overtones in that it is assumed, even explored further, that sexual harassment has a gendered nature in that women are seen as the victims and men the perpetrators of the crime due to the male-dominant structure of society and organizations (Welsh 184. Lenton, et al. 519-520). However, Welsh acknowledges that men are not neglected as victims of sexual harassment, rather, there is just a lack of research and investigation into their experiences (170 and 187).

Welsh shows how the definition and the constitution of the act of sexual harassment itself, alludes to a subjective nature in that what might be offensive behavior to some may be considered as flattery by others (Welsh 173). She explores this angle through the examination of how sexual harassment is measured—mainly through surveys.&nbsp.

Complete 5 pages APA formatted article: Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized.

Complete 5 pages APA formatted article: Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized. In spite of the existence of a range of arguments against, same-sex marriage should be legalized because it will expand the “opportunities for happiness for our neighbors, our colleagues, our friends, and our relatives” (Verma, Schoenleber, Douglas, and et al 7). In other words, same-sex marriage legalization will benefit the entire society as well as the state and will show that human rights are not just a mere phrase.

First and, perhaps, the most important reason why gay marriage should be legalized in the fact that marriage is an internationally recognized human right. More specifically, in accordance with Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution” (The United Nations). As it follows from Article 16, the right to marry is based on the non-discrimination principle. Today, the prohibition of same-sex marriage leads to discrimination against the LGBT community, which, in turn, violates human rights. In addition to this, the prohibition of gay marriage implies that discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation is normal in other spheres of life as well. Therefore, in order to prevent discrimination, gay marriage should be legalized and no one should be denied getting married and founding a family on grounds of their sexual orientation.

Secondly, marriage equality can have a beneficial effect on the health and well-being of couples. Due to discrimination, devaluation and prejudices based on their sexual orientation, LGBT people are more likely to experience negative health outcomes, including health problems with both physical and psychological health. In particular,&nbsp.LGBT individuals suffer from the so-called “minority stress”, which is defined as chronically high-stress levels experienced by members of minority groups that lead to poor physical and mental health (Buffie 986).

writing homework on Prader-Willi Syndrome.

Need help with my writing homework on Prader-Willi Syndrome. Write a 1250 word paper answering; An unfortunate and deplorable situation, as these special children were considered a scourge of God by society, in general, and punishment by God for their parents’ sins, in particular. And this medieval perception and superstitious notion continued until the twentieth century when scholars and physicians undertook concrete research, and the condition of these mentally and physically impaired children was looked into with humane consideration. Solutions to better their quality and standard of life were sought to be improved.

By the middle of the twentieth century, these children and the stigma attached to their peculiar mental and physical handicap was seriously analysed, and relevant research was undertaken by, albeit, a few, in the beginning, to facilitate their cause. And it is due to the painstaking efforts of those pioneers that these children, previously considered a burden on society and their families, were brought into the mainstream.

According to&nbsp. Butler &amp. Lee (2009), “Prader-Willi syndrome was first documented in an adolescent female by J. Langdon Down in 1887, but it was not described in medical literature until about 70 years later…In 1956, Prader Labhart and Willi reported nine individuals…Since 1970’s, the disorder has been referred to as the Prader-Willi Syndrome” (p3).

For more than 30 years after this disorder was identified, only a few significant features were known, and very few physicians knew about it, and according to Butler &amp. Lee (2009).

If you were the project manager, what expertise would you like from the sponsor, stakeholders, or core team members to create a milestone schedule with acceptance criteria?

Read the Casa De Paz Development Project case study found at the end of chapters 1 through 5, CPM 4e and answer the following questions in a paper formatted using a question-response format:

Question 1 (taken from Unit 3) – If you were the project manager, what expertise would you like from the sponsor, stakeholders, or core team members to create a milestone schedule with acceptance criteria?  Minimum 250 words.

Question 2 (taken from Unit 5) – What would you want to see in a team charter (i.e., rules of engagement) for this development project?  Is this different (Agile environment) than other (Traditional – Suburban Homes) environments?  If so, how is it different?   Minimum 250 words.

Question 3 (taken from Unit 5) – List types of decisions that would need to be made and the appropriate person, group, or method for each, for example, individual team member, the collective team, scrum master, and/or product owner.

You will be assessed on content and mechanics.

Content (30 points/question):  The content must be based on the case study materials and reading assignments.  The PMBOK 6e and CPM 4e, along with other reputable resources can be used to supplement the responses through summarizing, paraphrasing and quoting those sources.

Mechanics (10 points):  Each question response must be at at minimum 250 words.  “Minimum” is that amount typically needed to meet expectations (to earn a “B”).  To exceed expectations (to earn an “A”), a deeper discussion is needed. Each reference should be listed at the end of the paper following APA guidelines.  Online blogs are not acceptable references.  See Purdue OWL website for guidance on in-text citations.

Your Instructor will use Turn-it-in to ensure your paper is authentic work. To avoid plagiarism, see the course home page for more information and use the Purdue Online Writing Lab to learn how to paraphrase, summarize and cite the references you use in all academic writing assignments.
