1. When we are completing the work on an incident and initiating demobilization, what might we find are critical things for incident commanders and other leaders to be mindful of and ensure get accomplished? Is a Post-Incident Analysis (PIA) an effective way of gathering information and interpreting it for increasing safety on future incidents? As one conducting a PIA, what are the potential pitfalls and how might you avoid the group falling into them?

2. How is charting the success of health and wellness analogous to conducting PIAs? What are the advantages and potential pitfalls with documenting and reviewing our progress (or lack of progress) in the health and wellness measuring process? Who is the judge of whether or not successes and failures are “acceptable” or not?

These documents consist of excerpts from the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts, as well the Virginia Resolution, which contains the response by Jefferson and Madison to these policies. After reading these documents, I want you to respond to the following questions in a short written response (a page or so).

1. What justifications do the Alien and Sedition Acts contain for these measures aimed primarily at the press?

2. On what basis does the Virginia Resolution argue that these Acts are unjust?

3. Finally, while our instincts tell us that such measures as the Alien and Sedition Acts cannot be justified, are there certain circumstances where you could see a need by government to limit freedom of the press in this manner?

Mark Jones, a Production Manager, has been transferred from the manufacturing plant in his hometown of Chicago to his company’s overseas manufacturing plant in Osaka, Japan.

You are the company’s I-O psychologist. Using Hofstede’s Five Basic Elements of Culture Distinction, write an e-mail message to the Vice President (VP) of Production discussing at least three cultural differences that Mark will experience in managing front-line plant workers in Japan in contrast to in the United States. Also address how cultural differences may play a role in individual differences Mark will experience.

Your e-mail message should also include at least three recommendations on how managers can take up overseas tasks with minimum transition problems. State the rationale for your recommendations.

Because the VP of Production is a busy individual, restrict your e-mail message to one to two pages. Type the e-mail message in Microsoft Word.

Where appropriate use structured text—bold format, headings, bulleted lists, and graphics—to clarify your meaning and to make your document easier to read. Remember texting language will not be acceptable.

You will need to summarize the short reading and then explain how it supports, broadens ,challenges, contradicts or changes your understanding of the social issue that the article addres “pulling out” at least two points to comment on. Although you will need to provide a short overview of the op-ed somewhere in the beginning of your essay, you should focus on what new information you have acquired and how the professional journalists discussion of the issue has affect/ impacted your understanding of the topic. Further more you will research and select an academic source that will support, demonstrate, challenge and or expand on your analysis and document that source according to MLAspecifications.
The topic of the essay you working with is “Get a Knife, Get a Dog, but Get Rid of Guns” by Molly Ivins.

What is/would be the soundtrack to your life (or even better, your writing life)? To clarify: you can view “soundtrack” as a specific song which you think might be related to your experiences, or perhaps illustrate your experiences. You can also think of a set or kind of songs, a kind of music, a kind of sound in general. It would be fine to consider something other than a song as the ‘background sound’ of your life. The choice is entirely yours. Think of this as choosing a sound which explains something about who you are/what you do/how you work (in writing?), and so on.
