Chapter 11 of the course textbook examines cultural aspects of moral development, Kohlberg’s moral reasoning theory, and Gilligan’s alternative approach to Kohlberg. 
Reflect on what you have read about the related issues of bullying in schools and teen suicide.  Consider these resources in light of your experience with bullying, both as a child and, if applicable, as a parent or adult observing this activity among school-age children.  Review past national, state, or local initiatives of anti-bullying policies and programs implemented in the U.S.
For this assignment, address the following items, being mindful of your emotional and intellectual responses to bullying and the exercise of asymmetrical power among school-age children: 
· Summarize your thoughts and feelings about bullying and teen suicide as pathologies of moral development in middle childhood. 
· Describe how Kohlberg’s model can be applied to bullying programs in schools. 
· Explain Gilligan’s critique of Kohlberg’s moral development approach and gender differences. 
· Examine the ways that bullying of marginalized, non-citizens, children with disabilities, or LGBTIQ populations can be seen in middle childhood.  
· Analyze the history of anti-bullying initiatives (national, state, or local) in the U.S. with details of its success and areas for improvement. 
· Apply your knowledge about moral development as theorized by Kohlberg, Gilligan, and others to the historical anti-bullying initiatives and include prevention techniques and the negatives consequences of bullying. 
Your paper should be 1200-1600 words in length. Support your analysis and evaluation with references to the textbook readings as well as to no fewer than two peer-reviewed, scholarly sources that focus on the two theorists in question.

Chapter 11 of the course textbook covers cultural, cognitive, personality, and identity issues of the developmental stage of emerging adulthood, as does this week’s required article by Smith-Osborne (2007), which presents a historical perspective on two developmental theories, with a focus on resiliency theory.
In your initial post to this discussion, address each of the following items:
· Identify and cite two peer-reviewed articles that analyze similar issues or cases relating to emerging adulthood from the perspectives of lifespan theory and resiliency theory, respectively.
· Briefly summarize the theses, methods, and results of each study, identifying the similarities and difference between the two approaches.
· Assess the relative strength and shortcomings of the resiliency theory approach vis a vis a lifespan theory approach with reference to specific cases or examples.
· Reflect on what the two studies reveal about the cognitive and personality issues of emerging adulthood discussed in your articles.

MEMO.docx

Instructions
You are a Human Resources Manager at Fly Eagles Fly, Inc., a company that makes custom sports jerseys for domesticated parrots.
Write a 1-2 page memo  to the CEO  of the company addressing the following:
1. Describe a  specific discrimination issue  facing your workplace (you can focus on discrimination based on race, religion, ability, national origin, age, sex, etc.) 
2. Propose a training session to address the problem. Be sure to detail:
·
· Define the  audience  (executive leadership team, hiring managers, low-level managers, employees/staff, etc.) for the training
· Include a detailed  description  of the training plan. What topics will you cover? 
· Include anticipated  costs  (including time away from work, etc.) and benefits (to the company, individual, etc.) of the training
· What are the expected outcomes and benefits of the training?
Your memo must include at least  three (3)  references (governmental, scholarly, academic, or legal).
Do not include a cover page

Discussion # 1
Your research question describes the issue you want to learn about, but you rarely can learn about that issue by asking others that same question.
A research question is broad but specific and should clearly address the topic and the population being studied. It should also be practical and demonstrate the action you are doing.
If your question can only provide a yes/no answer, is too general, or is not feasible, it isn’t a good research question. An example of a poorly written research question might be: What is the role of the nurses in the operating room?
Research questions are  not interview questions.
Research Question Example:  How do families with school-age children prepare them to be ready for school?
Interview Question Example:  How do you get your children ready for school?
That might be all you have to say to learn about how people prepare their kids for school, but you can add probes like: Tell me more about… or you mentioned… or can you give me an example? 
You never want to ask a yes/no question in an interview because the response will not provide any reliable data to analyze.
Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:
· What is the purpose of research questions?
· How are research questions different from interview questions?
· How are research questions aligned with the purpose statement?
Include your own experience as well as 2 citations from peer-reviewed academic journals, industry publications, books, and/or other sources that align with or contradict your comments. Cite your sources according to APA guidelines. If you found information that contradicts your experience, explain why you agree or disagree with the information.
Discussion 2:
A peer-review process provides doctoral students opportunities to explore their own ideas and thoughts as well as assisting their peers by providing substantive feedback and critical thinking questions and ideas.
Locate  2 dissertations in  ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global that are focused on your topic. Review the research question(s) in both dissertations to assist in gaining an understanding of how to write your research question(s) for this assignment.
Include links to the dissertations you located.
Post your purpose statement and two research questions that might be appropriate for your study.
Assignment :
From this week’s overview, classroom materials, the understanding you gained from reviewing the finished dissertations, and the peer review from Discussion 2, develop a research question or questions to address your study’s purpose. You will be placing these in the Research Question section in the Research Outline Template that you began in Week 3.
Provide a 300- to 500-word substantiated summary on how your research question(s) align with the study’s purpose and place the references in the reference section. You will place this summary in Appendix D of the Research Outline Template.
Incorporating feedback is essential and beneficial in the learning process and is an expectation throughout the dissertation journey. Reading feedback, reflecting on the feedback, and then properly incorporating the feedback will help to progress through the dissertation journey and improve your writing, critical thinking, and APA formatting skills.
Change Matrix
A change matrix describes the changes you make to a document based on instructor feedback.
Review the Week 4 feedback from your instructor on the purpose statement and using the Change Matrix in Appendix C of the Research Outline Template, record the instructor’s feedback in the first column, state in your own words the feedback provided in the second column, and explain what you have done to address the feedback in the third column.
Checklist:
Continue to use the same Research Outline Template you began in Week 3:
Revise your problem and purpose statements based on your instructor’s feedback.
Add your research question(s) to the Research Question section of the Research Outline Template.
Provide your summary of how your research question(s)align with your study’s purpose in Appendix D of the Research Outline Template.
Format in-text citations and references according to APA guidelines.
Reminder: Before submitting your assignment, proofread for grammar and sentence structure, re-read the assignment directions, and refer to the grading rubric to ensure each element of the assignment has been addressed.
For a well-structured scholarly paragraph please refer to the MEAL Plan section in Appendix H of the Research Outline Template.
Use the APA Tutorials located in Doctoral Writing Resources and format your paper according to APA guidelines.
Submit your updated Research Outline Template.
