You each manage a sector of the organization: operations; customer service; strategy and governance; and IT and finance. The work environment has traditionally been competitive and a toxic work environment has emerged over time. You have never come together as a group and you each work independently of each other. Employee turnover is high and profit margins dropping significantly over the past five years.
The Board of Directors has replaced the CEO who is now on a performance-based contract. The new CEO has called you all to a meeting. She has made it clear that she wants a more collaborative approach to be taken and that you will be part of her executive management team, developing the companys future strategic direction.

This article notes that The U.S. Census Report finds that 50 million Americans are poor. Fifty million voters is a powerful block if they ever organized in an effort to pursue their common economic goals. So, its crucial that those in the wealthiest One Percent keep the poor fractured by distracting them with emotional issues like immigration, abortion and gun control so they never stop to wonder how they got so screwed over for so long (Abdul-Jabbar, 2014).

What kind of class divides do you see in the US today?
How are race, gender, ethnicity, and other variables that we have covered in the class related to class?
How do different economic classes view each other, according to the two articles you read for this discussion? Do you agree with the authors of these articles? Support your position with information from credible sources.
Option 2: Prior to listening to the following story, reflect on the following:

What are your thoughts on reality TV?
Did you ever notice that it could have the power to change the way people think about the world or have a positive impact on peoples lives?
Next, listen to The Other Real World (Links to an external site.) podcast and address the following:

Has your view of reality TV changed?
How do you feel about foreign powers using popular media to influence the emotional climate and therefore the politics of another country?
Have you noticed any other instances of governments using the media to influence outcomes in another country?
What positive impact could this kind of norms engineering have?
What negative impacts could it have?

Please follow the guidelines and examples. Also the topic is included in week 2 assignment doc. The topic will remain the same.

This week we are also learning about the power of inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning is not only extremely common, but it can also provide very good evidence for conclusions. This discussion prompt allows you to present an inductive version of the argument that you have been developing in this course.

Prepare: To prepare to write this discussion, read Chapters 5 and 6, focusing especially the section on Strengthening Inductive Reasoning in Chapter 5. Take a look as well at the required resources from this week, including What is a Strong Argument?[

Reflect: Create a new (and improved) version of the argument that you have developed for the Week 2 Assignment. Try to make sure that all of your premises are true and that your reasoning is inductively strong. Again, consider how someone with the opposite point of view might criticize your argument and see if you can improve it to avoid those objections.

Write: Present your argument in standard form and explain any weaknesses that might remain. A weakness could mean a premise that many might disagree with or questions about the strength of the inference. Indicate briefly how you might address those weaknesses to strengthen your argument further. What further information might strengthen your argument the most?

Guided Response: Read the arguments presented by your classmates and analyze the reasoning that they have presented. Comment on the strength of their reasoning. Help them out by pointing out any respect in which a reasonable person might disagree with the truth of their premises or with the strength of their reasoning. Give suggestions for how the argument might be improved. If someone presents good suggestions for your own argument respond with an improved version of the argument.

NOTE: Please read the Course Announcements consistently!

Students will write an essay review (1000-1500 words) of David Millers Solved: How the Worlds Great Cities are Fixing the Climate Crisis (Toronto: U of T Press, 2020):
1) The review must begin with an introductory paragraph, laying out your initial, overall assessment of the book.
