Discuss “The Making of an Environmental Activist.” in the Supplemental reading link.

Assignment # 4

Read “Eco-Identities” and watch the embedded TED talks. Also read “The Making of an Environmental Activist.” in the Supplemental reading link. Then respond to both parts of the Reading Response in your blog on your website.

PART ONE
In “The Making of an Environmental Activist,” Matsuba and Pratt (2013) note that pleas to support the environment and attend to human damage that has been done to it have “gone unheeded” (p. 60). They search for the reasons that calls to action have been largely unsuccessful through a consideration of identity formation. In particular, their research examines both experiences in nature and stories about experiences in nature. In this Assignment, summarize what they learned about people with environmental activist identities; pay close attention to how the researchers argue such identities are formed. In a second paragraph, connect insights from the article to the arguments made in Reading One about Place Attachment and Place Identity. How do personal and social experiences of place matter in the development of environmental activists? Explain your reasoning, using information from the “Place Attachment” reading where useful.

PART TWO
Choose two of the individuals featured in Reading Two on “Eco-Identities.” Use Matsuba and Pratt’s ideas about environmental activist identities to explain whether or not each of the individuals you have chosen is or is not an environmental activist.

The conclusion of this assignment is about YOU. Using insights from any of the three readings in this unit, discuss whether or not you have an eco-identity now and whether or not you believe you will have an eco-identity in the future. Since Matsuba and Pratt share research that claims these identities are frequently formed in the early part of life, through emerging adulthood, many college students would seem to be potential environmentalists in some sense. Are you? Why or why not?

Identify and interpret interrelationships of the frames.

You will select from both Bolman and Deal’s four frames and Morgan’s metaphors (see complete resources below)to make sense of an organization you have chosen. In doing this, you will create a more comprehensive way of making sense of behavior and business processes. You will provide recommendations for action that will lead to a more productive and satisfying place to work. For this Project, you will review your resources and follow these guidelines.

 (10 pages):

  1. Organization to use – Hasbro, Inc. an American multinational toy and Board Game Company.
  2. Begin with an introduction containing the purpose of the analysis, your position, and a narrative of your guiding principles so that the reader knows what to expect and the context of your paper.
  3. Topic titles after the introduction (you may have additional subtopic heads under these) include:
  • Background of the company (Do not use the actual name of a company if you need to keep it anonymous.)
  • Rationale for selecting the company
  • A diagnostic reading of the organization and storyline (Use Morgan’s Chapter 11 as a guide.)
  • Select the two most relevant frames of the four that surface in the “reading” of your organization and provide the issues and possible options.
    • Structural Frame and Metaphors/Issues and Options
    • Human Resources Frame and Metaphors/Issues and Options
    • Political Frame and Metaphors/Issues and Options
    • Symbolic Frame and Metaphors/Issues and Options

Also, include the following:

  • Identify and interpret interrelationships of the frames.
  • Suggest recommendations for organizational improvement.
  • Provide a conclusion.

Note: Be sure to write an abstract for the paper when completed and follow APA format to include a title page, reference list (not less than 6; excluding the required resources highlighted below), and evidence from the resources or other materials you have discovered to support your arguments. Attached is a Course Paper template to use

Note (highly important): Be sure to review Morgan’s Chapter 11 to assist you in the process as well as the worksheets that were used in the example in Bolman and Deal’s analysis on pages 412 and 424. Setting up worksheets like these before trying to write an analysis can be helpful to you in making sense of the dynamics.

Choices

According to studies of graduates of bachelor-degree programs in psychology, entry-level positions tend to pay relatively little and may be relatively unsatisfying. Although the positions, pay, and reported job satisfaction of psychology majors tend to significantly improve many years after graduation, those who enter the workforce immediately upon graduation risk at least a few years of less-than-satisfactory employment (Landrum & Elison-Bowers, 2009; Rajecki & Borden, 2011).

Although graduate school can be a route to a better paying, more satisfying job and career, it is quite expensive. According to the APA (2003), a doctoral degree results in most students entering into debts worth $50,000 to $75,000 or even more. The median debt incurred for a master’s degree is approximately $25,000 (Kantrowitz, 2011).

Using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources, research choices such as entering the workforce immediately upon graduation or enrolling in a graduate school. On the basis of your research, respond to the following:

  • Select one of the options: entering the workforce upon graduation or attending graduate school. Identify at least five benefits and at least five risks associated your chosen option. For example, if you choose to enter the workforce immediately upon graduation, identify the benefits and risks of doing so. Cite at least two sources of this information.
  • Design a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation illustrating the risks and benefits. Include at least one graph, chart, or table to add to the presentation’s visual appeal.
    • If you have chosen to enter the workforce, imagine you are designing the presentation for a job fair at which you are a recruiter trying to convince new graduates of undergraduate programs to work for your organization.
    • If you have chosen to enter graduate school, imagine you are designing the presentation for a professional conference where you hope to recruit undergraduate seniors to apply to your graduate program.
    • Include one slide with a speech or a persuasive narrative, in your own words, to persuade students or recent graduates to make one choice (join the workforce or enter graduate school).
    • Include at least one slide addressing recent trends in the job market and analyzing whether this is an optimal time to enter the workforce or to continue your studies in graduate school.
    • Include at least one slide addressing the pitfalls recent graduates from bachelor’s degree programs face and how best to avoid those challenges. One pitfall must be related to the financial risk of or the debt incurred as a result of making each choice (joining the workforce and continuing school).

  • Support your statements with information from academic sources, one of which can be your textbook. Be sure to include in-text citations and a reference list on the final slides of the presentation.
