Please write an essay on one of the topics below. Your essay must not exceed five pages, and must be double-spaced with 1-inch margins and 12-point fonts, and must be a WORD (.doc or .docx) document.
Your essay must demonstrate engagement with the relevant text. At a minimum, this means supporting your attributions with quotations and/or references to the page number on which the attributed claim can be found. In other words, whenever you attribute a view to Socrates, back up that attribution with a quotation and/or page reference.
You must not consult sources beyond our textbook and your lecture notes. Your paper will receive a failing grade if I find that it borrows from any source other than our textbook and your lecture notes.
TOPIC:
1. In the dialogue that bears his name, Euthyphro offers several different possible definitions of ‘piety’. Here are three of his proposed definitions:
(A) What’s pious is what the gods love, and what’s impious is what the gods hate.
(B) What’s pious is what all the gods love, and what’s impious is what all the gods hate.
(C) What’s pious is knowledge of how to ask things from the gods, and how to give things to the gods.
Along with these definitions, Euthyphro seems to accept various principles, so that each definition actually represents a small set of views (usually three). Socrates raises objections to each set. In this essay, (i) explain in detail Socrates’s attacks on each set, and (ii) critically evaluate Socrates’s attacks – that is, present and explain ways in which Euthyphro could or should have responded to each one of Socrates’s attacks.

paraphrase the following in 75-100 words : do not use any direct quotes
A good writer is one you can read without breaking a sweat. If you want a workout, you don’t lift a book—you lift weights. Yet we’re brainwashed to believe that the more brilliant the writer, the tougher the going.
The truth is that the reader is always right. Chances are, if something you’re reading doesn’t make sense, it’s not your fault—it’s the writer’s. And if something you write doesn’t get your point across, it’s probably not the reader’s fault—it’s yours. Too many readers are intimidated and humbled by what they can’t understand, and in some cases that’s precisely the effect the writer is after. But confusion is not complexity; it’s just confusion. A venerable tradition, dating back to the ancient Greek orators, teaches that if you don’t know what you’re talking about, just ratchet up the level of difficulty and no one will ever know.
Don’t confuse simplicity, though, with simplemindedness. A good writer can express an extremely complicated idea clearly and make the job look effortless. But such simplicity is a difficult thing to achieve because to be clear in your writing you have to be clear in your thinking. This is why the simplest and clearest writing has the greatest power to delight, surprise, inform, and move the reader. You can’t have this kind of shared understanding if writer and reader are in an adversary relationship. (pp. 195–196)
Case # 2: Communication and Conflict Resolution
Study the case study in chapter 7 of your textbook page 222, called: Smoking Prohibited
Analyze topics related to the case and answer using your own critical thinking the four questions at the end of the case.
NOTE: A minimum of 200 words is required for the analysis of section 2
Based on the above, answer the following:
1. Does it agree with the action taken by the supervisor, Manrique Lara Puente? Explain
2. Did the union representative present his case properly? Does the employee have any means of defense when he says that the words “are subject to” do not mean that the supervisor must dismiss an employee?
3. If, given the complaint procedure established in the company IMPROCA Industrial C by A, the measure taken by Manrique is revoked, what effect do you think that decision would have on Manrique’s relations with its workers?
4. What is the meaning of the references to fire “two blocks down this same street” and the “12 years of service without a mere reprimand or reprimand”?
No smoking
The managers of IMPROCA Industrial C por A, a company located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which has 750 employees, take pride in managing what they call a “solid and tight ship”. They feel satisfied with the results of a recent study of attitudes that shows that most of the staff considers that supervision is “strict but fair and efficient”. As a large part of the members of the management, Manrique Lara Puente has emerged from among the staff itself and is assigned to Department No. 14, of Painting, in which he supervises 35 workers. He has been with the company for 20 years and for the last 10 he has been a group leader. He tries to be fair to his men and, at the same time, tries to manage the policies of his company in accordance with the wishes of the general manager of the plant, who is very strict in interpreting the rules and regulations of the company. Manrique awaits in his office the arrival of José Nadal, representative of the union in Department No. 14. The following is the dialogue that both have:
“Manrique, I need to talk to you about Reinaldo Invierno, the man you sacked yesterday afternoon.
“There’s not much to talk about, Jose,” Manrique says. You know he was smoking in restricted areas.
– That’s exactly the point, Manrique. The rules do not say you have to fire him. What they say is that any employee who violates any of the rules of Group One is subject to immediate dismissal. That is far from saying that you have to fire him.
-Look, José. I know that you must do your job as a union representative, and that you have all the right to question any action I may take. But look at this aspect: Reinaldo has been with the company for more than 12 years, so he knows what the company’s rules mean and that they are for some reason. For the paint and the lacquer we work with, you know that this department could fly the whole plant if there was a fire here. There are “No Smoking” signs all over the place and, even more, the workers located in the soothing booths have to use rubber soles to avoid any possibility of producing any spark. I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do; One mistake here would blow us all to hell.
-You say that Reinaldo has been with us for 12 years. That’s true, but he has been in your department for only three months. He simply forgot the prohibition of not smoking in certain places, maybe because he was worried or something like that.
-I can not admit that. Maybe it was somebody, two blocks down the street, who was just worried, or was new, or who knows what, and you know what happened. The fire took the lives of three workers in that plant and the damages amounted to millions of dollars; They have not returned to work yet. We do not want that to happen here and it will not happen if I have something to do with it.
-Manrique, you do not leave me another alternative. I am going to file a complaint and I promise that this will come to arbitration. Twelve years of service without a mere reprimand or reprimand have to mean something.
-With this last expression, José Nadal, the union representative, left the supervisor’s office.

This paper is not about you. It is about the issue. Therefore, the following words and phrases do not belong in your essay: I me, myself, we, us, in my opinion, I think, I believe. Your paper is also not about your reader, and you do not know your reader personally; therefore, the following words do not belong in your essay either: you, your, you’re, yourself.
Figure 14.3 (13.1 in the old book), which illustrates the framework for a classical argument, is on page 273 (331 in the old book) of your text.
Specifics: This assignment has two parts.
The first part focuses on describing your selected story or media example.
Second, you need to analyze the story or example in light of a single or two closely related sociological concepts. This is the most important part of the assignment. You need to make a connection between the article, episode, or movie you have selected and a sociological concept that we have discussed in class. The key to you succeeding in this assignment is to make direct and detailed connections to a specific course concept. This will mean citing specific connections from the Manza book or another course reading.

Culture: systems of belief and knowledge shared by members of a group or society that shape individual and group behavior and attitudes
This includes: language
Culture as a practice : set of tool for social action- a “tool kit” of assumptions and behaviors for daily life” p.115
-Tool kits (Ann Swidler)
-A set of habits, skills, and styles that individuals use to navigate daily life
-we use different parts of our tool kits to accomplish different goals
-”Tool Kits” example
-love as a voluntary choice vs. love as a commitment
-past experience may make ppl leery of commitment
-inexperience may make choices unknowable
Tool kits (Swidler): a set of habits, skills, and styles that individuals use to navigate daily life. We use different parts of our “tool kits” to accomplish different goals.
Culture as “Tool Kit”
This contemporary notion of culture as something to be used and drawn upon comes from sociologist Ann Swidler (1986). From this perspective, people do not just live within a culture but use elements of that culture to inform their behavior and decision-making. They use “cultural equipment” to make sense of their world (see Milkie and Denny 2014). This approach is very much related to the culture as a meaning approach whereby people selectively use culture to inform or justify behavior rather than merely being passively affected by it. Cultural sociologists today are generally in agreement that culture is simultaneously constraining and enabling (Alexander 2003; Hays 2000). That is, culture affects social existence (people’s behavior, choices, proclivities, etc.) and can be oppressive, but is also subject to change and transformation based on lived realities.
Code-switching, process of shifting from one linguistic code (a language or dialect) to another, depending on the social context or conversational setting. Sociolinguists, social psychologists, and identity researchers are interested in the ways in which code-switching, particularly by members of minority ethnic groups, is used to shape and maintain a sense of identity and a sense of belonging to a larger community.
“culture does not just establish differences in how we interpret the work and give it meaning but rather influences what kinds of strategies and cations are practically available to us” -117

“Sorry to bother you” a satirical comedy, social thriller, genre-blending movie with bizarre visual effects about of black man who is gets a telemarketing job and things get a little crazy.
(( Riley is trying to confront the very ways we communicate with each other, the sometimes-blurry boundaries between race and class, and the increasingly overt malevolence of free-market capitalism—all within the confines of a raucous comedy.))
“Sorry to bother you”
takes place: (( In an alternative present-day version of Oakland, ads for a company called WorryFree offer a life free from paying bills and with free food and lodging, but at the cost of a lifetime work contract, a practice deemed legal and not equivalent to slavery.- Wikipedia))
Our main character: (( Cassius “Cash” Green lives in his uncle Sergio’s garage with his girlfriend, Detroit, and the only job he can find is working as a telemarketer on the lower levels of the RegalView company.
The important part: (( Cash has trouble selling to customers until an older coworker, Langston, teaches him to use his “white voice” — one that conveys a tone of confident, carefree affluence — to sell. Wikipedia)) ((Cash discovers he has a special talent for selling with his white voice, and his manager suggests Cash will soon be promoted to the elusive and mysterious position of “Power Caller.” )) Cash is promoted to Power Caller. and is instructed to only use his white voice, He makes a lot of money and is able to afford a new car and apartment, and to pay off Sergio’s house. ))
(( wet-behind-the-ears telemarketer Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) is smarting from yet another person hanging up on him. His co-worker Langston (Danny Glover) gives him a much-needed tip: success in this game requires him to ditch his natural tone and start speaking in a “white voice” (“I’m not talking about Will Smith white,” he says). Suddenly, people stop slamming their phones down and start listening. His sales increase. Then they skyrocket. Cassius’s “white voice” (dubbed by Arrested Development’s David Cross) gets him promoted up and up until he is elevated to a “power caller”, an exclusive broker to the wealthiest 1%.)) the guardian
(( Use a white voice. No, not merely nasal, but also unconcerned, unpressured, unrushed—the voice of someone who has never been fired but only laid off. It’s not the way white people actually talk, the mentor explains, but the way they think they ought to sound. Cash tries it (the abruptly high-pitched, singsong tones that emerge from Stanfield’s mouth are voiced by David Cross), and it works too well. It’s not just that Cash begins to rack up sales. It’s that you see him straighten up and start to smile, with pride and pleasure brightening his face for the first time. And worse: Now that he’s using his white voice, Cash no longer feels the slightest empathy for the people he’s got on the line.))(( a Steve Buscemi-esque, nasal “yes-indeedy” patter that Cassius discovers he’s a natural at))

Sorry to bother you deals with a lot of crucial and interesting social issues but for this paper we are focusing on Code switching. Code switching is the phenomenon as to where a person switches their usual pattern of speaking and acting to conform to a different culture. More specifically culture is not just a systems of belief and knowledge shared by members of a group or society but its also a practice that shape individual and group behavior and attitudes. “culture does not just establish differences in how we interpret the work and give it meaning but rather influences what kinds of strategies and actions are practically available to us” -117. Code switching in a subset of Culture as a practice and a demonstration of s ann swindlers “tool kit”.
Code switching is a current well debated and strong social movement. As usually code switching is common practice of black Americans that have over the time established theier own subculture

For this assignment you will write a 4-5 page reflective paper (written in first person tense) which clearly includes the parts of an essay, an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. In your reflective essay, be sure to reference the textbook and at least one other outside source to support your answers to the following questions:
Discuss the definition of sense of meaningfulness as it applies to the work force. You will provide examples of when you have had a high sense of meaningfulness and a low sense of meaningfulness while at work and how this influenced your motivation level. You will then use the chart on page 87 of the textbook to discuss where you fall along the continuum of your own sense of meaningfulness at your current (or last place) of work.
Discuss the definition of sense of choice as it applies to the work force. You will provide examples of when you have had a high sense of choice and a low sense of choice while at work and how this influenced your motivation level. You will then use the chart on page 89 of the textbook to discuss where you fall along the continuum of your own sense of choice at your current (or last place) of work.
Discuss the definition of sense of competence as it applies to the work force. You will provide examples of when you have had a high sense of competence and a low sense of competence while at work and how this influenced your motivation level. You will then use the chart on page 91 of the textbook to discuss where you fall along the continuum of your own sense of competence at your current (or last place) of work.
Discuss the definition of sense of progress as it applies to the work force. You will provide examples of when you have had a high sense of progress and a low sense of progress while at work and how this influenced your motivation level. You will then use the chart on page 92 of the textbook to discuss where you fall along the continuum of your own sense of progress at your current (or last place) of work.
You will discuss the patterns you observed as you charted your intrinsic rewards. You will also discuss if there are any differences in the ratings of the four intrinsic rewards. Lastly, you will discuss if the pattern ratings suggest one or more of the intrinsic rewards is a problem. If so, you will discuss how this can be altered for more motivation at work. If not, you will discuss how you will keep your intrinsic rewards “in check.”
After taking the assessment and reflecting on your results, apply at least two theories of motivation to improve your motivation as well as overall organizational performance. Make sure to provide specific examples of how these theories can enhance motivation.
