Development Throughout The Lifespan.

(Development Throughout The Lifespan.)

Erikson and Freud are two of the few theorists who have developed a lifespan approach to development. Freud’s approach to development was psychosexual while Erikson’s was psychosocial. Even though Freud’s theory is better known, Erikson’s theory remains a leading and very much applied model in personality and developmental psychology today.

When considering these two stage-oriented theories, you can directly compare the majority of their stages. These are matched in the following table:

Approximate Age
Freud’s Stages of Psychosexual Development
Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial development
Infancy (Birth to 1 year)
Oral stage
Trust versus mistrust
Early childhood (1–3 years)
Anal stage
Autonomy versus doubt
Preschool (3–6 years)
Phallic stage
Initiative versus guilt
School age (7–11 years)
Latent period
Industry versus inferiority
Adolescence (12–18 years)
Genital stage
Identity versus role confusion
Young adulthood (19–40 years)
Intimacy versus isolation
Middle adulthood (40–65 years)
Generativity versus stagnation
Older adulthood (65–death)
Integrity versus despair

When considering Erikson’s eight stages of development, the way a person moves through each stage directly affects their success in the next stage. Their personality is being built and shaped with each stage. At each stage, there is a turning point, called a crisis by Erikson, which a person must confront.

In this assignment, you will observe or interview two different people, each at a different stage of development. For a third observation, take a look at yourself and the stage that you are in (this stage must be different from your other two observations).

  • Record your three observations in a template. Include the following information:
    • Name
    • Age
    • Gender
    • Current developmental stage
    • Status within the stage (i.e., identity achievement or role confusion)
    • Events that have lead to this status

Download a Development Template from the Doc Sharing area to record your observations.

  • Summarize what you have learned about psychosocial development through these observations/interviews.
  • Summarize the trends you see in your observations/interviews regarding psychosocial development.
  • How does movement through Erikson’s stages influence personality development? Again, be specific.
  • How do Erikson’s stages of development compare to Freud’s stages? How are they similar? How are they different?
  • Between these two theories, which one do you feel best explains your own personality development? Justify your answers with specific examples.

Human Sexuality Assignment

(Human Sexuality Assignment)

Gender Appropriate and Inappropriate Behaviors

Recent headlines have sparked heated debate about whether boys should be allowed to dress as girls. For example, a 5-year-old boy in Seattle who enjoys things traditionally for girls, such as jewelry, the color pink, and dresses was supported and encouraged by his mother, who wrote a book about him called “My Princess Boy”. A J. Crew ad featured a mother painting her young boy’s toenails hot pink (CBS News, 2011 April 13). Reactions ranged from outrage and disbelief to support of the mothers.

On the flipside, girls who shun traditionally “girly things” such as dresses and flowers in favor of more traditional “boy things” such as watching or playing sports, rough-and-tumble play, and choosing boys as friends are often called tomboys.

For either sex, choosing to engage in activities traditionally reserved for a specific sex can result in teasing and accusations of homosexuality.

  • Using research gathered from your textbook, online course content, and at least 1 research article, analyze the above scenarios.
    • Are the behaviors discussed above (i.e., preferring things traditionally acceptable for a specific sex) indicative of homosexuality? Why or why not?
    • Describe the psychological consequences (positive and negative) that might result from engaging in behaviors reserved for a specific sex?
    • Develop an argument for or against concern that these children might be exhibiting a paraphilia.
    • Which paraphilia(s) might apply and what criteria would you use based on the research?
    • What, if any, intervention would you recommend to a parent whose little girl or boy expresses the desire to engage in behaviors typical of the opposite sex? If you do not believe intervention is necessary, explain why.

By the due date assigned, write an essay that is 3-5 pages in length. Also include a cover page and reference list. Remember to support your arguments with information drawn from the online content, the textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources to substantiate the points you are making.  Apply APA standards to for writing and citations to your work.

The paper should be double-spaced 12-point typescript, Times Roman font, with 1-inch margins all around, and free from grammatical errors.

(research project:cancer)

must be original and not plagarize and must not be written in slang must be apa formated

the topic i chose is cancer

Instruction 

Research Project Instructions

(research project:cancer)

The Purpose: There are a couple purposes for this project. The first purpose is to assist you in gaining information and resources on the major issues women may bring to you in counseling. Every student in this class will select a different topic to research. At the end of this course, this will become a class project in which each student will share his/her research with the rest of the class. This will allow you to compile a resource notebook or a resource file on counseling women. The second purpose is to prepare a presentation for a future workshop you may teach on your selected topic.

 

Basic Description: You are to select a topic that is of specific interest to you and then research your topic as if you were preparing a workshop on it to teach to a group of fellow counselors. The topic list provided purposely does not include topics that are discussed in this class. The reason is to help you gain “additional” information beyond what we cover in the class lectures and activities. You are allowed to seek approval of other topics you would like to present that are not on this list. Before beginning your research, be sure the topic is not covered already in this course and that you have received your instructor’s approval.

 

Instructions for the Research Project:(research project:cancer)

  • Select a topic and submit it to your instructor for approval in the Research Project Topic Discussion Board forum by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 1.
  • Part A of this project includes the primary research information you would prepare in order to put together a presentation on your topic. It will basically look like a research paper using subheadings to be used in presenting your topic. Part A is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 6.
  • Part B of this project will be a quick outline document that you would provide as a handout at your workshop. This handout can also include additional charts or appendices with an explanation. Submit the Research Project: Part B via the assignment link and also upload this assignment to the Research Project File Exchange under the My Groups tab by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 7.

 

Part A:(research project:cancer)

  1. Select one topic from the topic list provided. Decide on a topic for your research project and post it in the Research Project Topic Discussion Board forum in order to receive approval from your instructor. Each student will research a different topic; therefore, once a topic has been selected, it will no longer be available. Topics will be approved on a “first come, first served” basis.
  2. Research your topic by looking for information on treatment options or intervention approaches to assist women with that particular problem/disorder. Investigate your topic in depth; do not provide a broad survey of the topic.
  3. Part A of the project should be 12-15 pages in content length. (The abstract, appendices and reference list are not included as content.)
  4. The entire paper should follow APA format.
  5. You must research at least 12-15 “professional” resources for your topic. A majority (about 80%) of these resources need to be scholarly books, professional journal articles, or professional online websites with no more than 3-4 from professional websites. A combination of all three resources will earn you a better grade. Also, a majority (about 90%) of your resources must be published within the last 10 years.
  6. You must include biblical integration as part of your treatment options.
  7. Your paper must demonstrate your ability to integrate and synthesize the information you collect in your research. You should not cut and paste information from your sources. If you would like to include lists (example: symptoms, causes, etc.) for any reason, put them in an appendix and refer to them in your paper.
  8. As you conduct your research, you may want to look for the following information, however, your primary focus must be on treatment options or interventions:
    1. Description of the problem

Summarize the problem by providing a brief description of it.

    1. Current statistics on the topic area

Provide any statistics you find in your research that discusses the prevalence or demographics of the problem. (Example: One in four women experience sexual abuse as a child.)

    1. Symptoms of the problem

Provide a description of the most common symptoms experienced by someone with this problem. Also, include areas a counselor would want to specifically assess in the initial interview based on what you know about this issue.

    1. Causes of the problem

Provide a summary of the general causes that lead someone to develop this type of problem. Include developmental and familial issues in this section.

    1. Treatment of the problem – This is the major part, about 50-60%, of your paper.

Provide treatment options that you find in your research. You should use more than 2-3 resources in this section.

    1. Biblical perspectives on the problem

Provide verses or biblical examples that you can use to assist someone with this problem.

    1. Homework assignments

Provide suggestions for homework assignments found in your research to assist a client in dealing with this problem. If you do not find any in your research, then make a few suggestions using your own creativity.

    1. Additional information (optional)

If you find anything in addition that you believe would be helpful to your classmates, please include it here. You may include advice or recommendations from your own personal experiences with this problem (whether you experienced it yourself or assisted someone with the problem).

 

When putting Part A of the project together, you should include the following:

 

a)       Title Page

b)      Abstract

c)       Content (12-15 pages)

d)      Appendices (additional information)

e)       References page

f)       If you have a personal illustration that you believe would be helpful to incorporate into your project, please include it in an appendix.

 

  1. When you have completed Part A of the Research Project, submit your draft via SafeAssign. The final copy is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 6.

 

Part B:(research project:cancer)

 

This part of your project will be a 2-5 page handout that you would provide at your workshop. (This could possibly be converted into a PowerPoint presentation for your workshop). This handout can also include additional charts or appendices with an explanation for each. This is the part of your project that you will upload to the Research Project File Exchange under My Groups so that you can share with your fellow classmates; do your best to include the important points from your research.

 

Since this is a handout, feel free to be creative in your arrangement of this handout. You may include pictures, charts, diagrams, etc. You may use different font sizes for your words. Do whatever is needed to make it an aesthetically pleasing presentation for your audience; however, you must include citations (in APA format) throughout the handout where you include information from your research. At least 5 sources must be used in this handout. (Your audience will want to know where you obtained your information.)

 

 

Submit Part B via the assignment link and upload this assignment to the Research Project File Exchange by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 7.

Validity in Quantitative Research Designs

(Validity in Quantitative Research Designs)

Question description

Reflect on the following scenarios:

Wanda has been involved in a research study of the causes of tooth decay in elementary school children. Twenty-five percent of the students in the free breakfast program at a local school have been screened by a local dental hygienist. The dental hygienist finds an average of 3.5 cavities per student. The same dental hygienist recently screened 25% of the students in a school with no free breakfast program, and found an average of only 1.5 cavities per student. Wanda concludes that the breakfast served to students is the cause of higher tooth decay. Do you agree with Wanda? Can you think of other causes for the higher number of cavities among the students from the school with free breakfast?

Jerry is conducting a phone survey to determine public opinions on Medicaid reform. In order to get a random sample, Jerry decides to call the tenth number on the second column of every fifth page of the phone book. He also decides to stop sampling when he has completed 50 surveys. After reaching the target number, Jerry begins to analyze the data he has gathered and is surprised to find that opposition to reform is running about 18% higher than the national average. He is at a quandary to explain this significant difference in numbers. What are some reasons you can think of for the higher rate of opposition?

As you consider these scenarios, you may note issues or problems related to the validity of the research and conclusions. This week, you assess validity in quantitative research. You are introduced to the different types of validity and why they are important to consider when evaluating evidence and research studies. You also examine common threats to validity and consider how to minimize those threats.

Discussion: Validity in Quantitative Research Designs

Validity in research refers to the extent researchers can be confident that the cause and effect they identify in their research are in fact causal relationships. If there is low validity in a study, it usually means that the research design is flawed and the results will be of little or no value. Four different aspects of validity should be considered when reviewing a research design: statistical conclusion validity, internal validity, construct validity, and external validity. In this Discussion, you consider the importance of each of these aspects in judging the validity of quantitative research.

To prepare:

  • Review the information in Chapter 10 of the course text on rigor and validity.
  • Read the method section of one of the following quasi-experimental studies (also located in this week’s Learning Resources). Identify at least one potential concern that could be raised about the study’s internal validity.
    • Metheny, N. A., Davis-Jackson, J., & Stewart, B. J. (2010). Effectiveness of an aspiration risk-reduction protocol. Nursing Research, 59(1), 18–25.
    • Padula, C. A., Hughes, C., & Baumhover, L. (2009). Impact of a nurse-driven mobility protocol on functional decline in hospitalized older adults. Journal of Nursing Care Quality, 24(4), 325–331.
    • Yuan, S., Chou, M., Hwu, L., Chang, Y., Hsu, W., & Kuo, H. (2009). An intervention program to promote health-related physical fitness in nurses. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 18(10), 1,404–1,411.
  • Consider strategies that could be used to strengthen the study’s internal validity and how this would impact the three other types of validity.
  • Think about the consequences of an advanced practice nurse neglecting to consider the validity of a research study when reviewing the research for potential use in developing an evidence-based practice.

Post the title of the study that you selected and your analysis of the potential concerns that could be raised about the study’s internal validity. Propose recommendations to strengthen the internal validity and assess the effect your changes could have with regard to the other three types of validity. Discuss the dangers of failing to consider the validity of a research study.

Marriage And Relationship

Marriage And Relationship

(Marriage And Relationship)

Marriage and relationships are intricate dances of love, companionship, and mutual growth. At their core, they require trust, communication, and compromise. Marriage symbolizes a commitment to share life’s joys and burdens, to navigate its challenges together, and to support one another’s dreams. It’s a journey of discovering and rediscovering each other, fostering emotional intimacy, and building a shared future.

Successful relationships thrive on empathy, respect, and appreciation for each other’s individuality. They are nurtured by shared experiences, laughter, and moments of vulnerability. However, they also demand patience, forgiveness, and resilience in the face of inevitable conflicts and setbacks.

Maintaining a healthy marriage involves prioritizing the relationship, whether through regular date nights, open dialogue, or acts of kindness. It’s about celebrating milestones, but also weathering storms hand in hand.

Ultimately, marriage and relationships are as unique as the individuals in them. While there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for success, cultivating love, understanding, and commitment lays the foundation for a fulfilling lifelong partnership.

Marriage And Relationship

Relationship Issues that make or break the relationship.

Who is your ideal mate?

What are the deal breakers?

1 to 10, how important is physical appearance?  10 being critically important, 1 being not at all.

What are the most important characteristics of your ideal mate?  Be honest with yourself and PLEASE STAY AWAY from cliche answers if you would.  I mean it!

The safe answer would be something like, “Someone who is there for me, respects me, and loves me for who I am.”  Or, the next most common one I’ve read is, “I need a God fearing man”.

This assignment is supposed to provoke something from deep within your soul that you may have never truly thought deeply enough.

Think about it.  “Someone who respects you and there for you.”  That’s about 70% of all whom you come in contact with on a daily basis, like coworkers, student body, faculty, starbucks employee, etc.  “Someone who loves me for who I am.”  That should be 100% of every one of your regular friends.  If they do not, they are not your friends…..  “God fearing man/woman.”  That should be about 99% of everyone at your church, synagogue, or mosque.

These vanilla answers that people are so readily give really doesn’t fit who you truly are and who you would need, in order for him or her to be your ONE AND ONLY soulmate.

Hence, PLEASE stay away from mundane conversation.  This should be one of the most intriguing conversation we have in this class.

If you have to think about this for 24 to 48 hours to come up with a uniquely fitting statement for yourself, so be it!  It should be that special.  If not, then think deeper.

If this comes across as a soapbox, I apologize, but my previous classes have bored me and each other with this topic as they missed the entire point of this assignment.

Community Nursing Diagnosis: Opioid Abuse Intervention

(Community Nursing Diagnosis)

Question description

Add a community nursing diagnosis and relate to HP2020 to the nursing diagnosis part in the aggregate

summarize and put the nursing diagnosis part part only in 2 or 3 poster and power point slides after the add up

Here is the link to whole paper:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rVVL8ql1XFJ5730YgJgE4InYfCYEcX60ozMfbRZOJoM/edit

This is the the nursing diagnosis part in case you cannot find it in the paper.

The nursing diagnosis focused in this paper is “An ineffective health maintenance as evidenced by opioid abuse related to serious impairment, suicide, depression, sleep disturbance, and anxiety by opioids abusers especially teenagers and older”. As witnessed in nursing assessment, the use of opioids for wrong purposes is the reason why opioids abuse is increasing tremendously over the past decades (Butcher et al, 2018). The focus of this paper is therefore to examine the best interventions that can be used to minimize opioids abuse in order to minimize mental health problems that have been witnessed in the past.

In relation to Millennium Development Goals ratified by more than 191 members states, the nursing diagnosis focus in this paper will act as a cornerstone in achieving those MDGs especially in relation to improving maternal health and reducing child mortality (Morton et al, 2017). As part of achieving these MDGs goals, the evidence-based treatment plan for opioids is mainly centered on methadone and Buprenorphine that have been scientifically proven to be effective in treatments for opioid use disorder. A recent meta-analysis has concluded that methadone and Buprenorphine are linked to higher treatment retention.

The nursing diagnosis is important because it helps in minimizing mental health diagnosis that is mainly caused by opioids abuse. It also assists in designing effective secondary prevention that can be employed to minimize the rate of opioids abuse in the community (Morton et al, 2017). The nursing diagnosis is centered on offering coping mechanisms that can be utilized to reduce the number of medical lapses and exacerbation conditions triggered by aforementioned health conditions. When using the nursing diagnosis, it is important to consider the historical and current health records of the patients before delivering the services.

Question description

Assignment 2: Research Project

This assignment consists of two parts. The first part consists of the third installment for the research paper and is worth 20 points out of the 200 points allotted for this assignment. The second part requires application of concepts learned in Weeks 1–3and is worth significantly more than previous assignments and more than the first part of the assignment.

Part I—Research Paper

This week, you will research laws or regulations related to the topic you selected. The information may require research of federal and/or state laws, as well as administrative agency laws. Compare the laws of two states, if applicable. For example, if you are writing about gender discrimination, compare the federal law with law from one of the states that also provides protection at the state level. State laws often provide more protection than the federal law. Summarize the information about the laws or regulations you found related to your topic.

Compile your response to Part I in a Microsoft Word document and name it as SU_MBA5005_W3_A2_Part1_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.

Part II—Legal and Ethical Challenges in Business Organizations

Read the scenarios and the questions that follow. Identify the legal issue(s) and apply legal concepts and possible arguments for each question. After reading the scenarios, prepare a resolution for each question using laws, cases, examples, and/or other relevant materials. Consider using short headings (consult APA materials) to separate the topics. Summarize the facts; do not copy the scenarios into the paper. After you have answered the questions and before the conclusion, identify potential ethical issues and propose recommendations to help the organization avoid future occurrences of the legal and ethical issues discussed in the assignment. Support your answers with information from the textbook and at least five scholarly sources other than the text and course lectures.

By Week 3, Day 6 prepare an 8- to 12-page paper that identifies the legal issues and potential solutions and answers all questions presented, supported by relevant legal authority. Properly cite all sources using APA format. Do not exceed the page length by more than two pages, as the instructor is not required to read excess pages.

Compile your response to Part II in a Microsoft Word document and name it as SU_MBA5005_W3_A2_Part2_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.

Overview

Famous Subs and Pizza Company (FSPC) is a publicly traded corporation headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, operating restaurants in ten states. The company also owns a food processing and distribution facility in Jackson, Mississippi. Approximately 20% of the employees work full time; however, FSPC primarily hires part-time employees as delivery drivers, cooks, and sandwich makers. FSPC leases space for most of its restaurants in shopping centers, but the company owns a few of the properties, as well as its headquarters office and the distribution facility. The company has experienced explosive growth over the last three years, but the growth has been accompanied by an increase in legal issues. The CEO, Chip Stone, seeks your advice on the following legal and ethical issues.

S1: Jurisdiction, Torts, and Agency(Ethics and law for managers)

Faye Kennett, 4’5″ tall, visited an FSPC outlet in Birmingham, Alabama. She was four months pregnant and craved a pizza with anchovies. She took the receipt after ordering her food and was reading it while walking to a table. She noticed that the words “Fat Midget” were printed on the receipt. Before she could get to her table, Faye stepped in some water, slipped, and fell, sustaining injuries to her back and left leg. She suffered a miscarriage forty-eight hours after falling at FSPC. Kennett filed a negligence suit in an Alabama state court against FSPC, the store manager, and the employee at the register who had printed the receipt.

  • Explain whether the Alabama state court is the proper court for the lawsuit. Determine whether Kennett could have filed the lawsuit in Florida.
  • Provide arguments for Kennett, FSPC, the manager, and the employee at the register. Determine which party should win and provide support for your selection.

S2: Contracts, Agency, and Torts(Ethics and law for managers)

FSPC hired Pete Zahutt as a delivery driver for one of its stores in Jackson, Mississippi. After five years, FSPC promoted Pete to District Manager and let him drive the company car that was wrapped with the company logo. Once or twice a week, Pete also picked up supplies at the warehouse on his way to work. With his boss’s knowledge, Pete also used the FSPC car during working hours to run some personal errands, like pick up his daughter after school. The company viewed the arrangement as an opportunity for free advertising. One Friday night, after Pete left work in the company car, he delivered two pizzas to some friends, who invited Pete in for a beer. Pete ate some pizza with his friends, drank a few beers, and left for home. On the way home, Pete was texting his girlfriend and hit another car, severely injuring himself and the driver of the other car, Al K. Seltzer. Seltzer sued Pete and FSPC; however, FSPC’s insurance company refused to cover Pete or to defend or indemnify him in the lawsuit. Pete then sued the insurance company and FSPC. The insurance company argued that Pete was not an “insured” under its policy with FSPC because he did not have permission to use the company car when the accident occurred.

The insurance policy defines an insured as “[a]nyone else while using with your permission a covered auto you own, hire, or borrow . . .”

“Permission” is “consent to use the vehicle at the time and place in question and in a manner authorized by the owner, either express or implied.”

  • Did Pete have implied permission to use the car?
  • Ignoring the issue of insurance, is FSPC (and, therefore, the insurance company) liable for the injuries sustained by Seltzer under respondeat superior? If so, on what basis?

S3: ADR, Contracts, and Employment(Ethics and law for managers)

FSPC requires its employees to sign a confidentiality and noncompete agreement. The confidentiality portion explains that employees will be given access to critical information related to recipes, suppliers, and other similar data during their employment. Employees must agree that the information is a valuable asset and that they will not disclose the information during or after their employment. Employees must also agree to not make copies of any such information. The noncompete portion of the agreement states that during employment and for a period of two years after termination for any reason, an individual will not work for any business that derives more than 10% of its revenue from selling sub or pizza products and is located within 3 miles of any FSPC facility. Finally, the agreement provides that any dispute arising from the confidentiality and noncompete agreement shall be resolved exclusively through arbitration.

While attending college in Tampa, Florida, Dee Liver worked as a delivery driver for FSPC from June 2012 until May 2014.

Dee signed a document titled “Acknowledgment of Receipt of Employee Handbook,” which states that the handbook contains important information about the employer’s general personnel policies and Dee’s privileges and obligations as an employee. The document also states, “I understand that I am governed by the content of the Handbook and that [Employer] may change, rescind, or add to any policies, benefits, or practices described in the Handbook from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without prior notice.” Dee was not presented with the confidentiality and noncompete document until January 2014. FSPC stated that she must sign the document as part of her continued employment with the company.

Dee resigned from FSPC when she moved to Gainesville Florida to start pharmacy school. In September 2014, Dee applied for a job and was hired as a delivery driver at Papa John’s Pizza. FSPC filed a lawsuit against Dee for a breach of contract. Dee filed to dismiss the case because the agreement stated that disputes must be resolved through arbitration.

  • Provide arguments for Dee and FSPC related to the arbitration clause. Determine which party will win and provide a reference to a case or other scholarly support for your answer.
  • Ignoring the outcome of the arbitration issues, analyze the noncompete portion of the agreement. Determine which party will win and provide scholarly support for your answer.

S4: Administrative Agencies and Consumer Protection

FSPC operates a food processing plant in Mississippi, where various meat products are packaged for shipment to restaurants. After FSPC customers in Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisiana complained of becoming sick after eating roast beef subs, it was determined that the meat was contaminated with Escherichia coli, a bacteria responsible for causing food poisoning. Additional inspections immediately following the outbreak of E.coli in May 2015 revealed that the restaurants did not provide the required nutritional information for products on their menu.

  • Which government agency is responsible for protecting the public in the E. colicase? Explain the responsibilities of the agency.
  • What are the labeling requirements related to menu items in restaurants? Which agency enforces these requirements?
  • On what basis might the customers who became sick from eating the tainted meat file suit against FSPC? Explain.
  • What types of administrative penalties might FSPC face?

S5: Intellectual Property(Ethics and law for managers)

Pepe Roni was a part-time pizza maker at FSPC and a full-time information technology major at the South University in Tampa. As part of his final project in the capstone class, Pepe developed a computer program that created the fastest and most economical routes for delivery drivers. The program also tracked the locations of drivers. Pepe called the program Deliver Fast. The program was designed to be used by any food delivery service. FSPC believes it owns the invention since Pepe was employed by the company when he developed the program. Pepe believes he owns the rights to the invention since it was created for a school project and could be used for any food delivery company.

  • Provide arguments for FSPC and Pepe regarding ownership of the invention, Deliver Fast. Determine which party should win and provide support for your answer.

S6: Employment and the Constitution

Cal Kulate worked in the accounting department at the FSPC headquarters in Florida. He started out as a cashier in one of the stores, was promoted to store manager, and was eventually promoted to the accounting department at headquarters in Florida. Cal received numerous outstanding-job evaluations over the years with the company. Cal and his partner, Jim, married recently. Jim now received medical, dental, and other benefits as part of Cal’s employment package with FSPC.

Cal reported to the director of accounting, Faith Christianson. Cal did not receive a raise for the first time in ten years, after receiving an unflattering performance review from Faith. Other employees heard Faith say, “Same-sex marriages are wrong. The Bible states that marriage should be between a man and a woman.” Faith posted Bible verses in the breakroom and at the bottom of her e-mails. Cal reported Faith’s behavior to Human Resources, but her behavior only worsened after the report.

Cal posted some comments about Faith’s behavior on his Facebook page. He asked if other employees had experienced any discriminatory actions by Faith or other managers. Cal commented that the company did not discipline Faith after he reported her behavior; therefore, he believed the company supported sexual orientation discrimination. Cal also posted an unflattering caricature of Faith on his Facebook page. One commenter suggested that Cal report the company to the EEOC. After another employee showed the posts to Faith, she demanded that Cal remove the posts. When Cal refused, he was terminated.

One of the employees who worked for Cal, Cybil Wrights, reported Faith’s treatment of Cal to the EEOC. Cybil was an at-will employee who had been with FSPC for two years. In response to the EEOC report, Faith terminated Cybil.

  • Does Cal have a valid federal or state discrimination claim against FSPC? Explain thoroughly.
  • Did the company violate Cal’s First Amendment rights by requiring him to remove information about Faith from his Facebook page? Explain thoroughly.
  • Does Cybil have any causes of action against FSPC? Identify any such causes and analyze them.

The CEO, Chip Stone, requests that you propose specific recommendations on how to avoid both legal and ethical issues in the future related to a minimum of five areas that need improvement.
