A literature review is a discussion of books, articles, and documents. In this case, you will review two (2) academic journal articles. You are free to choose these articles yourself, but they must come from the following list of peer reviewed academic journals:
Human Resource Management Journal
International Journal of Human Resource Management
Work, Employment and Society (WES)
Capital and Class
Employee Relations
Industrial Relations Journal (IRJ)
British Journal of Industrial Relations (BJIR)
Industrial Law Journal (ILJ)
If you find an interesting article in another journal, you MUST get permission from your tutor before using it, or you will be marked down.
You may choose any two articles from within these journals, but the article must be at least 10 pages long (do not choose an editorial or book review), must be recent (published in 2012 or later), and should be chosen to reflect an HRM issue that you find interesting. If you have any doubts about the articles you have selected, you are strongly advised to check with your tutor, as the use of inappropriate articles will result in reduced marks, and could result in you failing this assessment.
Your review should provide the bibliographic details of each article and then write a brief descriptive and evaluative review of those articles. You should provide a brief summary of what the articles are arguing, and then assess or evaluate the articles. In your review, you will be expected to:
critically consider the points of view and evidence presented in the article,
indicate how the article could contribute to your understanding of what a HR
manager does and how their work has changed over time. Remember that the review should be about 400 words for each article.
You will be assessed on your ability to critically analyse the peer reviewed articles you have chosen. In particular this means whether you are able to:
identify the assumptions underlying the articles and evaluate their usefulness to
you as a student
follow a complex argument presented in the articles you choose to discuss
understand the material so that you can build on it in later learning
express your ideas and thoughts clearly
organise the assignment in a coherent fashion
reference correctly.

Kelly please cover all topics listed in grading criteria.Thanks!

Assignment 2: Analyzing with ANOVA

Submit your answers to the following questions using the ANOVA source table below. The table depicts a two-way ANOVA in which gender has two groups (male and female), marital status has three groups (married, single never married, divorced), and the means refer to happiness scores (n = 100):

1. What are the independent variables and their levels? What is the dependent variable?
2. State all null hypotheses associated with independent variables and their interaction? Also suggest alternate hypotheses?
3. What are the degrees of freedom for 1) gender, 2) marital status, 3) interaction between gender and marital status, and 4) error or within variance?
4. Calculate the mean square for 1) gender, 2) marital status, 3) interaction between gender and marital status, and 4) error or within variance.
5. Calculate the F ratio for 1) gender, 2) marital status, and 3) interaction between gender and marital status.
6. Identify the critical Fs at alpha = .05 for 1) gender, 2) marital status, and 3) interaction between gender and marital status.
7. If alpha is set at .05, what conclusions can you make?

Source	Sum of Squares	(degrees of freedom [df])	Mean Square	Fobt.	Fcrit.
Gender	68.15	?	?	?	?
Marital Status	127.37	?	?	?	?

Total	1102.24	99	NA	NA	NA

Please Note: The table that you see in the assignment has been slightly modified from the one presented in the module notes since it is beyond the scope of this unit to have students calculate p values. Instead you are asked to calculate the F value and compare it to the critical F value to determine whether the test is significant or not.

Separation of powers is that the three branches of government are separated: Legislature, Executive, and Judicial Branch. The legislative makes the laws, the Executive is the part that carries out the laws and the Judicial Branch is the courts that decide if the law has been broken. The Separation of Powers is also called a system of Checks and Balances meaning that the branches can check up on each other and balance each other if the branches get too strong. Separation of powers was “designed to elevated the concerns of the public and allow it to guard against the false exercise of government power” (Ivers, 2013, 1.2).

The interaction between the Separation of Powers and the other three Pillars is that it places the power to veto Legislation in the hands of the president, but Congress has the power to override presidential vetoes with the support of two-thirds majorities of each chamber. Another interaction between pillars is Congress has the power to declare war, but the president is made Commander in chief of the armed forces (Ivers, 2013, 1.2).

Real world examples of how Separation of Powers supports the democratic system of government is when Barack Obama had to resign as Senator of Illinois in order to take the office as U.S. President. The Constitution states that no member of Congress, may serve in another branch of federal government at the same time. The separation of powers prevents the abuse of power and to safeguard freedom for all. No one branch can become so powerful in a democracy as to destroy the system.

One of the four pillars of the United States government is the Separation of Powers, it was decided that if all power of the government was place in one place it would end up being no different in the United States, then when it was under the rule of England, is was summed up by James Madison conceded the point that the “accumulation” of all legislative, executive, and judicial power in a single branch of government could; justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny”(Ivers, 2013). While the president has the power to veto laws that have been passed by the legislative branch, they also have the power of executive orders to create laws they feel should be enacted but cannot get them through the legislative process. The sad thing here is that the president has the power to alter our past history, by changing the names of mountain ranges, basically on a whim, because they can.

One recent example of judicial review by the Supreme Court was the Ladue V. Gilleo, 1994 case. Margaret Gilleo placed a sign in her yard in Ladue, Missouri saying “Say no to war in the Persian Gulf, call Congress now.” Ms. Gilleo sued the city of Ladue for violating her First Amendment rights after the city of Ladue told Ms. Gilleo to take her signs down because it had a law against yard signs.

The reviews are considered examples of judicial activism because the U. S. Supreme Court acknowledged the rule of personnel or political view such as that of the law to ban signs in Ladue. The Supreme Court acknowledged the decision of the lower courts since Ladue’s law against yard signs violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects political speech.  Forbidding yard signs is the contrary of expressing personal political views. This concluded that the value of protecting personal political speech is more important that banning yard signs.

udicial review is the process in which the court system take a case and consider if it is “ripe” for the court to hear, in most cases all administrative remedies must be exhausted, which would be all lower courts and that a Constitutional challenge is being raised. The court can consider if the case is moot, or if it has relevance to be heard which would make the case ripe for review.

To define “judicial activism”, using plain language and simple application to the words would be; using the position of the court to advance a cause, rendering a decision that would be the exact opposite of “judicial restraint”, making or deciding a case with a narrowly worded opinion that does not go beyond the duties of the court to the point of being a possible activist for a cause.

Same sex marriage is the most recent example of judicial activism, I understand equal protection under the law, but I also, understand the democratic process, if the voters of those states in which these case originated took to the polls and left the decision up to the voters, and this being what the democratic process is (or at least I thought it was) got a slap in the face with this decision. Whether I agree with it or not is not the point here, it is the erosion of the democratic process and the will of the people.

Assignment 2: LASA 1—Analysis of Historical, Legal, and Ethical Issues

As someone knowledgeable about research on children with exceptionalities, you have been given the task of presenting a report to the court on your arguments for and against people with intellectual disabilities raising children.

Do the following:

• Launch the online library (under Academic Resources).
• Select Find Videos.
• Select Filmakers Library Online.
• In the search box, type “is love enough” and click Go.
• The first result should be Is Love Enough?directed by Tom Puchniak. Review this video.

Analyze the historical, legal, and ethical issues in the video. Make sure you include the following in your analysis (in an order that flows well in your paper):

• Compare the historical trends related to people with disabilities. How would outcomes be different fifty years ago for the people in the movie?
  • Compare the differences from about ten years ago when the movie was produced to today.
  • Explain how far we have come and what still needs to be addressed (such as terminology, acceptance, and support).
• Explain how laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the IDEA influence these decisions.
• Identify the ethical principles that might apply to the situation. Consider the professional ethics codes, including the following:
  • American Psychological Association. (2010). Ethical principles of psychologists and code of conduct. Retrieved from http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/index.aspx
  • American Counseling Association. (2005). ACA code of ethics. Alexandria, VA: Author. Retrieved from http://www.counseling.org/resources/codeofethics/TP/home/ct2.aspx
• Synthesize your research and create two arguments: one for and one against parents with intellectual disabilities raising children. Consider the perspectives of the parents as well as the children. Use evidence and examples from research, utilizing your assigned readings, and at least two peer-reviewed articles on this topic to support your argument.
• Given what you learned in the video, your assigned readings, and research you found, recommend supports or interventions for the following:
  • The family
  • Within the community for the family and child
  • The school
• Although this video focused on those with intellectual disabilities, generalize the issues to other exceptionalities.
• Conclude your paper with a review of current thinking for and against people with exceptionalities raising children, based on the sources used.

Write a 7–9-page paper (not counting the title page, abstract, or reference page) in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Be sure to include a title page, abstract, and reference page also in APA format
