Taking the position of an organization development consultant, students should recommend the actions that management might take in order to align the organizational structure with the strategic plan in order to maximize the likelihood that the entity will achieve its directional strategy. You’re an external organization development consultant that has been retained by an academic medical center to assist the leadership team is redesigning their management structure.

In what ways have the following played a role (or not) in our current attitudes about drugs and the War on Drugs: fear; shame; dishonesty; science; money; safety; compassion? (You do not need to address all of these; just the ones you feel are most relevant.) Are there other things that you feel have fueled our approach to drugs and drug use in this country? How have the approaches of other countries dealt with these?

This activity requires you to spend some time viewing the world using the perspective of the social construction of disability.

From the social constructionist perspective, disability is created through interaction between individuals and their environments.

Include at least two separate observations.

Each of your observations should illustrate a different way that disability is socially constructed.

Describe what you observed and then briefly explain how your observation illustrates the social construction of disability.

Professors Example: Today I was in line at HEB behind an older person who was moving at a slower pace than the younger people. It was difficult for the older person to manage his cane and use his credit card at the same time. He seemed to have difficulty reading the “prompts” on the credit card device. The person directly behind the older person was noticeably impatient. Clearly the whole setup of the check-out line and credit card device is aimed for people whose hands are free (not needing a cane) and who have good vision. People are also expected to manage the check-out process quickly and keep the line moving. Wendell described the way in which the pace of life does not accommodate anyone who requires more time or needs to rest or needs help opening a door. Our pace of life also does not readily accommodate someone who needs large print on credit card devices and something to lean on to free his hands to manage his wallet and credit card. We create disability by not accommodating variations in vision and mobility.

Today I heard about a school shooting in which several people were killed and others were injured. The violence we allow in society is creating disability for the injured people who may never regain their previous levels of physical functioning. Wendell explicitly mentioned that by failing to protect people from shootings and other violent crimes, society creates disability. In our module on the criminal justice system, we learned that the U.S. has more gun violence than any other country. This and other school shootings suggest that by failing to adequately regulate guns, we are creating disability.

Analyze symbols for the United States

Choose two symbols (remember, symbols can be MANY things) prevalent in the United States. For each, explain:

1. Who is likely to have a “symbolic predisposition” toward it. How does this predisposition manifest itself?

2.What ideology incorporates this symbol?

Example: The American Flag is a symbol that represents the United States of America in international settings. American citizens are predisposed toward its meaning. It carries a sense of pride for man; while others see it as a symbol to redress government (i.e., by burning it or flying it upside-down). Immigrants often are predisposed to it as well: seeing it as a beacon of hope for a better life. Many groups and ideologies incorporate the flag. Nationalistic ideologies (e.g., militias, political ideologies, militarism) espouse the flag as their chief symbol.

APPLY: Between ages 40 and 50, Nancy gained 20 pounds. She also began to have trouble opening tightly closed jars, and her calf muscles ached after climbing a flight of stairs. “Exchanging muscle for fat must be an inevitable part of aging,” Nancy thought. Is she correct? Why or why not?

There are several standardized training events in large organizations that are required annually or biannually. One of these is often sexual harassment.

Write a training plan for all employees in your Life Coaching firm to educate and develop their awareness of sexual harassment and understanding of legal and organizational policies.

Be sure to include training aspects of planning, design, implementation, and evaluation. This plan should be in narrative form with a minimum requirement of 500 words.

Discuss the following guidelines to complete your plan.

Planning: Should all employees be trained at once? If not, who should be trained first? What are the anticipated outcomes or terminal learning objectives of the training?

Design: In what format should the training be given, and why? What modalities will be used for employees on multiple shifts or in multiple locations? What are the core elements of the training that will align with the learning objectives?  

Implementation: Who will lead the training, and how will it be implemented? You will be training for knowledge or behavior change? How will you conduct the actual training to account for knowledge and/or behavioral change?  

Evaluation: How will you know if the training was successful? What measures will you use to know if employees 1) learned from the training, 2) behaved differently after the training, and 3) the training has a bottom line impact to the firm?
