Crime Trends

Throughout this course, you have examined the relationships between race, class, gender, and the criminal justice system. One aspect that has been widely studied is the use of the death penalty. Since execution is the harshest possible penalty, and is not correctable, it is essential that it be fairly applied.

Utilizing valid, up-to-date research, address the issues outlined below in a properly formatted Microsoft Word document.

On the basis of the above readings, answer the following questions about capital cases:

Describe the roles of the judge and the jury in the sentencing process.

Compare and contrast the characteristics of men and women on death row. Discuss why there are fewer women on death row than men and explain the significance of this difference.

Discuss patterns of either “race of victim” or “race of defendant” discrimination in death penalty cases. Cite reliable data to support your points.

Analyze the impact of factors other than race or gender in the sentencing of death penalty cases. For instance, consider an offender’s prior record and “aggravating circumstances.”

Analyze the importance of the quality of the legal representation a defendant has in determining whether he or she will receive the death penalty.

Support your responses with examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.

Differentiated Strategies for Instruction and Assessment Assignment

Overview

Planning lessons differentiated by readiness, interest, and learning profile are the basics of differentiating instruction. Differentiating based on student traits assists the learner in multiple ways: Differentiating instruction by readiness ensures tasks closely align with the understanding and skill level of the learner. Differentiating instruction by interest utilizes student’s natural curiosity for a topic. Lastly, differentiating instruction by learner profile focuses on making the learning accessible and applicable to each student. 

In addition, as you differentiate by student readiness, interest, and learning profile, you must examine each element of your lesson: content, process, and products. While all three of these items are interconnected in a lesson, planning for differentiated instruction, understanding how to differentiate each item according to student readiness, interest, and learning profile can assist you manage a differentiated classroom. 

This assignment allows you to research and practice differentiating lessons by readiness, interest, and learning profile within the context of content, process, and products. The purpose of this assignment is to research how to differentiate instruction based on readiness, interest, and learning profile, discuss ways to integrate specific strategies to address the content of the lesson, the process of teaching and learning, and the products students will produce from the lesson.  

Instructions

Download the Differentiated Strategies for Instruction and Assessment Template. Locate a completed Virginia Lesson Plan in the content area of your choice. A simple search of the Virginia Department of Education website will yield hundreds of sample lesson plans.  Multiple sample lesson plans can be found under the Resources section of the Differentiated Strategies fo Instruction and Assessment Assignment page in Canvas. 

Select the lesson plan of your choice from the Virginia Department of Education. Then, review the assignment requirements listed below and on the template. 

Differentiating by Readiness

Once you have selected your lesson plan you will determine how you will differentiate the content, process and products based on readiness. Provide a background to differentiating based on student readiness in light of content, process, and product. You will fully explain the strategies you will use to differentiate the content, process and product of this lesson. Each strategy must be supported by research and each section should include at least one citation from the textbook and one additional peer-reviewed citation. 

The template provides an explanation for each of these items and the exact structure for how you need to report these items. Please follow the template. 

Differentiating by Interest

Next you will determine how you will differentiate the content, process and products based on student interest. For this section of the template, you will provide a background to differentiating based on student interest in light of content, process, and product. Fully explain the strategies you will use to differentiate the content, process, and product of this lesson. Each strategy must be supported by research and each section should include at least one citation from the textbook and one additional peer-reviewed citation. 

The template provides an explanation for each of these items and the exact structure for how you need to report these items. Please follow the template. 

Differentiating by Student Profile

Next, determine how you will differentiate the content, process and products based on student profile. Provide a background to differentiating based on student profile in light of content, process, and product. Fully explain the strategies you will use to differentiate the content, process, and product of this lesson. Each strategy must be supported by research and each section should include at least one citation from the textbook and one additional peer-reviewed citation. 

The template provides an explanation for each of these items and the exact structure for how you need to report these items. Please follow the template. 

Assessment Creation and Response

Finally, you will select one of the products you discussed above and create a differentiated assessment to assess students’ understanding of the material presented. This assessment must be differentiated for multiple learners, align with the sample lesson plan, topic, grade level, and Virginia Standard of Learning you selected, and be ready for classroom use. You may decide to create multiple assessments based the way you differentiate. This is perfectly appropriate. You will need to create all the assessments needed in this portion of the assignment and submit the differentiated assessment(s) with the template.   

In the Assessment Response portion of the template, you will explain the differentiated assessment you created, justify why you created the assessment the way you did, and support your justification with at least three citations. 

Business Discussion

/in /by

For the third time in less than a week, Wanda has received a phone call from a customer who is upset that when her order arrived, it was incorrect. Wanda refunded money to all three customers in order to keep them happy. She is not sure what’s causing these errors, but she knows it has to be remedied or she will lose customers.

When you meet for coffee, Wanda mentions these problems and wonders aloud what the issue is. Is the customer service staff not writing things down correctly, or is production not reading the orders correctly? Alternatively, the mistake could be in shipping with the young man who comes in after school to package and prepare orders for shipment. Salty Pawz can’t afford an automated system yet, so everyone must rely on person-to-person communication to get order details right.

For Discussion 100-250 words MAX

  1. Explain to Wanda common reasons why organizational communications can become ineffective and break down. Suggest specific things to watch for in her organization that can indicate poor communication skills.
  2. Make at least one specific recommendation that Wanda can implement to improve communication among Salty Pawz departments and individual employees.
  3. Now that you have improved communication at Salty Pawz, think about a time when you were on the receiving end of poor communication, such as when the message was not clear or the wrong information was conveyed. What was the consequence of this poor communication? How did you or would you keep this from happening again in the future?

Assignment: Effects of Price Changes

  Overview Economic Practices for Managers This course addresses the fundamental economic principles of decision making, including opportunity costs, factors of production, and competitive and comparative advantage. Risk and uncertainty are also analyzed. In addition, students would apply sustainable business principles in a rapidly changing economic and social environment. The course approaches these topics from the perspective of a practicing manager.Module ReadingsComplete the following readings early in the module:

  • Module overview
  • From your course textbook, Managerial economics: Economic tools for today’s decision makers, read the following chapters:     
    • Introduction
    • The Firm and Its Goals
    • Supply and Demand
    • Demand Elasticity
  • Assigned Reading:
  • From the Argosy University online library resources, read:     
  • Module In Brief: introduces the basic economic theories and principles that drive a company’s day-to-day business decisions. You will also be familiarized with the basic economic problem of a business. This module also describes the concepts of demand, supply, and elasticity and how their relationship helps predict market outcomes. You will learn how demand and supply determine the prices of all the goods and services in a market-driven economy. Module Overview:Consider the last major sporting event that you watched on television. What did you give up to watch this show—the option of dining out with your friends or spending time with your family? Let us extend this example to other stakeholders. Think of how competing teams would have traveled to the event. Probably, they chartered a flight. What was their gain? How did the airline decide whether or not to accept the charter?We all make economic decisions every day of our lives. Economics is the science of making effective choices or decisions by examining the available alternativesThis module introduces the basic concepts of economics that will help you analyze and evaluate various alternatives and make effective day-to-day business decisions. To begin with, you will learn about the basic economic problem that a society faces. You will then apply this knowledge to analyze the problem and make decisions in the context of your business.Basic Economic ProblemThe basic economic problem in any society is how to allocate resources among individuals to meet their demands for what they want to consume. While the individuals’ needs are unlimited, the resources available to a society are limited. To address this problem, societies take into account the production, the sale, and the consumption of goods and services, and compare alternative ways of using the limited resources. Each society, therefore, must find answers to these three basic questions to satisfactorily run the economy:
  • What goods and services to produce?
  • How to produce them?
  • For whom to produce them?

In the context of your business, these questions will help you analyze the operations within your company from an economic perspective and make decisions on how to make the best use of your company’s scarce resources. It will help you decide what goods and services should be produced and which ones you must forgo, which needs should be satisfied, and how much of the limited resources will be used to satisfy those needs.
 

Assignment: Effects of Price Changes

Instructions: Price changes can have a significant impact on the overall economy of a nation. A product experiencing price change can lead to an exponential change in the prices of related products. The price of oil provides a good example of this concept. As oil prices increase, the price of gasoline also increases. As almost all products rely on gasoline, either in the production process or in the distribution process, the prices of these products also increase. As prices increase and incomes of consumers remain steady, spending decreases and products or services that have an elastic demand suffer. This assignment looks at some products you may be familiar with and allows you to analyze how price changes impact the overall economy. 

Tasks:

Consider the last product or service you purchased for more than $50, excluding gasoline.

  • If the price of that product or service went up by 10% overnight, how would you adjust your behavior in the short term?
  • How would you adjust your behavior in the long term?
  • If you decide not to buy this product again, what will you buy instead?
  • Analyze who will be more sensitive to price changes in what kind of products.

Submission Details:

  • By Monday October 15, 2018, save your report and upload to the Submissions Area.

Help with essay only professors – Impact of Pandemics on Consumer Behavior

/in /by

  

Pandemics shape consumer behavior in profound ways. Three major contexts— social, technological, and regulatory—that influence consumer behavior have been in play during COVID-19 (Sheth, 2020). These contexts have shaped consumer behavior in various ways amidst COVID-19 and offer important insights into the general impact of pandemics. The social context involves factors such as change of residence from one city to another, marriage, and having children. COVID-19 has forced many to move to other cities or rural homes to be closer to their families amidst looming lockdowns and other measures aimed at containing the spread of the disease. The change in the city or country of residence suggests that consumers have adjusted their consumption habits. School closures and stay-at-home orders have resulted in increased pregnancies and influenced consumer habits (Bewa, 2021). Technological factors such as Internet access, e-commerce, and smartphones have enabled increased consumption driven by online shopping. 

As regards the regulatory context, governments have adopted various measures largely applicable to public and shared spaces with a significant impact on consumer behavior. Measures such as the closure of restaurants in some areas imply increased consumption by location in that more people have been eating at home. Help with homework Lockdowns during COVID-19 have disrupted the global supply chain and influenced consumer access to certain products and services. These developments indicate the significant impact of pandemics on consumer behavior.

  1. Competency
    Describe the key functions of managing a salesforce.
    Student Success Criteria
    View the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane.
    Scenario
    You are the regional sales manager for International Herb Express (IHE) which is a large, US-based spice & herbs supplier. IHE sells to other businesses that purchase bulk spices and spice blends for use in their end products. https://www.keenessays.xyz/uncategorized/describe-the-key-functions-of-managing-a-salesforce/  The primary customers are baking and soup mix corporations that sell to other businesses, for example, bakeries, restaurants, other food-service, and regional grocery chains. IHE is launching a new spice blend that reflects a more diverse cultural & ethnic flavor profile than IHE’s traditional offerings.
    The abridged marketing strategy for this new spice blend is to target both current customers, but also to reach new customers that are target regions with higher ethnic diversity and/or the more adventurous “foodies” market. The marketing efforts will focus on taste testing, sampling, and on-site promotion. IHE is launching this marketing plan to help create a product offering that is not as commodity-driven (as most spices and herbs are the same quality no matter where they are purchased) and can potentially offer higher profit margins.
    It is important to note that spices and other ingredients are raw goods and traded as commodities. The raw price for these goods changes on a day-to-day basis. Pricing is based on classic supply and demand, though nature is a key contributor to the supply–extreme weather as well as health of crops have a direct impact on the supply chain and access to the raw goods.
    Instructions
    With the launch of the new product offering, it has been determined that a new sales team dedicated to the new product line will be the best approach. You will need to select current sales representatives from the company as well as hire new sales representatives to create the final sales team of 8 professionals.
    The new sales force will be given the assignment of connecting and educating current customers on the new spice blend offering. The sales force will also be responsible for identifying the top, new potential customers and educating them. The goal after one year is to have 10% of the current customer base also ordering the new products as well as having at least one new customer per sales professional.
    To prepare for the new team, you need to create the following documents and submit as one, unified document:

    • The formal job description for this new sales team which should include a brief description, list of required skills, and qualifications as well as a list of desired (but not required) skills.
    • An organizational chart  https://www.keenessays.xyz/uncategorized/describe-the-key-functions-of-managing-a-salesforce/ highlighting how the 8 sales representatives are organized (by regions, by customer industry or size for example).
    • An email to the Vice President of Sales and Marketing recognizing and recommending the need for her to spend time with this new sales team as a motivational tool.
    • Supporting paragraphs used to explain each piece to further clarify and rationalize the choices made.
