A week before a certification election, a WalShop store manager (who resides in Walnut) walks by a Rancho Cucamonga church in order to observe a union organizing meeting she read about on a bulletin board in the employee cafeteria.  According to her rough count, approximately a hundred of the 250 employees at the store were attending.  She looks for familiar faces from the sidewalk outside (and makes notes of what she observes) but does not attempt to make contact with anyone going inside the church.    After several nervous employees called the manager’s presence out to the union supporter, Arturo Cruz, Cruz comes outside and orders the manager to leave.  After a brief argument, the manager departs but not before wagging her finger at the church and shouting “Unions will be the death of us all!”   The union loses the election by a close margin (120 in favor of certification, 130 against).  Shortly thereafter, the union files an unfair labor charge against WalShop claiming that the supervisor’s presence and words constituted a “threat of reprisal” and thereby invalidated the election.  In testimony before the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), the supervisor states she was merely in the neighborhood and walked by out of curiosity.  Management tells the ALJ that it neither ordered nor was aware of the supervisor’s action at the time it occurred. A regional vice president admitted, however, that he received a memo from the manager the day after the meeting describing what she had seen (including the names of some prominent employees in attendance) but claims to have taken no action based on the memo.   Does the union need to prove that an unfair labor practice charge occurred in order to invalidate the election?  Without regard to whether an unfair labor practice can be proven, should the election be ruled invalid (be sure to name the appropriate test the NLRB uses for judging elections and analyze the facts to determine whether that test can be proven)?  Be sure to explain your answer.

Learning Objectives:

● review implementing the interface Comparable<T>

● programming against interfaces not objects.

● review reading in data from a file

● use the internet to learn about the interface Comparator<T>

● use a Comparator to provide an alternative way to order elements in a

collection

Description:

Turn in:

Turn in the assignment via Canvas

Create a package called booksthat includes 3 files: Book.java, BookApp.java, and books.csv (provided).

Class Book represents Pulitzer prize winning books that have a title, an author and a year, when they won the award. Implement the class Book exactly as specified in the UML diagram below.
You are allowed to create private methods to structure your code, but fields, constructors, and public methods must not be changed nor added or removed.

Notice that class Book implements the interface Comparable<T>. The method specified in the interface is not listed in the UML class diagram of class Book. However, the fact that Book implements Comparable<T> implies that the interface method needs to be implemented.
The interface Comparable<T> implements the natural order. In case of class Book it should sort by title.

Also notice that class Book is immutable. It has getters but no setters.

Method toString:

The toString method should return a string of the following form: name by author ( year )
Make sure to include the @Override annotation

Method getList:

Note that the method getList is underlined. Underlining a method in a UML class diagrams indicates that the method is static.
The method getList should readin the data from the csv file book.csv. If a line doesn’t follow the pattern title,author,yearthen a message should be written to the standard error stream (see sample output) The program should continue reading in the next line. NO exception should be thrown .

Please note that the sample output is only provided to help clarify the instructions. The program still needs to fulfill all the requirement when I test it with another csv file (e.g. where all lines are correct or other lines have an issue)

Write a test client called BookApp.java

● It should read in the data from the file book.csv. Two lines have an issue. Treat them as described above.

● Print the number of books that were read in.

Make sure to determine the number of books at run time. I will test your code with a different csv file.

● Sort the list in natural order and print the list

Sort the books in the list in reverse order using a Comparator<T>that is provided in class Collections

● List the book in the newly reversed order

Sample Output:

Problem reading in "No Pulitzer prize for fiction was awarded in 2012" Problem reading in "The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,Junot Diaz,2008" Number of books read in: 14

Assume the perspective of a Gestalt therapist, and show how you would proceed with Karen, a 27-year-old Asian American who is struggling with value conflicts pertaining to her religion, culture, and sex-role expectations. Here is what she has related to you during the first session.

Throughout her life Karen has identified herself as a “good Catholic” who has not questioned much of her upbringing. She has never really seen herself as an independent woman; in many ways she feels like a child, one who is strongly seeking approval and directions from those whom she considers authorities. Karen tells you that in her culture she was taught to respect and honor her parents, teachers, priests, and other elders. Whenever she tries to assert her own will, if it differs from the expectations of any authority figure, she experiences guilt and self-doubt. She went to Catholic schools, including college, and she has followed the morals and teachings of her church very closely. She has not been married, nor has she even had a long-term relationship with a man. Karen has not had sexual intercourse, not because she has not wanted to but because she is afraid that she could not live with herself and her guilt. She feels very restricted by the codes she lives by, and in many ways she sees them as rigid and unrealistic. Yet she is frightened of breaking away from what she was taught, even though she is seriously questioning much of its validity and is aware that her views on morality are growing more and more divergent from those that she at one time accepted. Basically, Karen asks: “What if I am wrong? Who am I to decide what is moral and immoral? I’ve always been taught that morals are clear-cut and do not allow for individual conveniences. I find it difficult to accept many of the teachings of my church, but I’m not able to really leave behind those notions that I don’t accept. What if there is a hell, and I’ll be damned forever if I follow my own path? What if I discover that I ‘go wild’ and thus lose any measure of self-respect? Will I be able to live with my guilt if I don’t follow the morality I’ve been taught?”

Karen is also struggling with the impact of cultural restraints on her view of what it means to be a woman. Generally, she sees herself as being dependent, unassertive, fearful of those in authority, emotionally reserved, socially inhibited, and unable to make decisions about her life. Although she thinks that she would like to be more assertive and would like to feel freer to be herself around people, she is highly self-conscious and “hears voices in her head” that tell her how she should and should not be. She wishes she could be different in some important respects, but she wonders if she is strong enough to swim against what she has learned from her culture, her parents, and her church.

Assume that Karen is coming for a series of counseling sessions in a community clinic. You know the above information about her, and what she wants from you is help in sorting out what she really believes about living a moral life versus what she has been told is the moral way to be. She says that she would like to learn how to trust herself and, in essence, have the courage to know her convictions and live by them. At the same time, she feels unable to act on her values, for fear that she will be wrong. How would you proceed with her?

Answer the following questions related to the case study:

  1. What do you see as Karen’s basic conflict?

  1. In which stage of growth is Karen currently? What is the evidence?

  1. Discovery – realizing something new or looking at something different
  1. Accommodation – Recognize there is a choice; Try new behaviors in a safe space; Experiment
  1. Assimilation – Capable of dealing with environment

Evidence:

  1. What do you notice as you focus on the language?

  1. Which two Contact Boundary Disturbances is Karen most likely experiencing?
