As a child one of my favorite seasons was
summer. During the summer I would spend endless days with my Gramma.
Her house and yard were neverending. There were countless pecan trees, a
tire swing, a scary tool shed, a riding lawn mower from the 1960s,
beautiful flowers, and her vegetable garden. Growing up in a delta area
in the south, gardens are just in everyone’s DNA. She was a master
garderner, and I loved to reap the benefits of her garden. Fresh
tomatoes with salt and ranch dressing, fried squash and okra, pickled
cucumber and onion, boiled okra, and the list goes on. I miss her
garden. Vegetables do not taste the same. As a child, I thought she had
some kind of magical power. I thought she was a garden witch. No. She
simply nurtured her garden. If you have grown up in the southern delta,
you know it is hot, hot, and hotter, and depending on the year it can be
bone dry. She would be in that garden first thing in the morning, some
times in the afternoon, and in the evening pruning, watering, weeding,
collecting, and digging. She was always making sure her garden was taken
care of, and it surely was.
As counselors we need to see ourselves
as gardens. When working with counselorsin training, I notice a common
theme is stress. I also notice a lack of interventions or hobbies or
support to combat that stress. We have to tend to our gardens. We have
to implement coping skills. We are in the helping profession, which
means often we put others first, but we have to create boundaries,
strongholds, and parameters to make sure our needs are met, we are
nurtured, and we are well fed. We have to have a plan for self-care.
I want you all to have a chance to
communicate with each other about self-care needs and self-care hacks.
It is very important. The work we do is important and often thankless.
You need a plan to take care of yourself.
10 points, I want you to read the article attached and then create a response that answers:
1.) How does self-care impact human and professional development
2.) What is your plan for self-care
3.) Respond to your peers

ILR260: Final Paper
Purpose
The most common assignment in college classes is the research paper. Research papers tend to fall into two categories—the argumentative and the informational. In this class, we will practice putting together a research paper that is more informational in nature. Its main goal is to practice assembling sources in a way that adequately explores a research question from various sides but does not (necessarily) take a strong stance on the “correct” answer. The paper can lean in certain directions if that is where the scholarly conversation leans, but it is not necessarily trying to persuade the audience of one specific point of view. The point of the paper is to assemble a scholarly conversation around a research question and then synthesize possible answers to the research question.
The ILR course itself takes you through the necessary steps to create this final paper.
In summary, the steps you will have gone through are as follows:
Identify and narrow a research question.
Find and evaluate sources.
Summarize sources in an annotated bibliography.
Write a rough draft.
Revise a rough draft and proofread.
Task
Compose a 1000-word essay in APA citation style (you may use MLA if you are an English major) that presents and then attempts to answer your research question.
You must use a minimum of five cited sources. Three must be from peer-reviewed academic journals. Popular sources, including magazine articles, newspapers, secondary scholarly summaries of topics, or government or institutional literature may be allowed if deemed appropriate as per the lessons on source evaluation and rhetorical needs of the paper.
Cite your sources on a standard format APA reference page. If you are an English major, MLA will be allowed with permission from instructor.
Submit your essay as a Word document, .pdf file, or a .rtf only. Please do not use Pages or any type of image file.
Topic
You will have the freedom to choose your own topic for this research essay. There are, however, some topics that are not allowed.
Any of the topics from ENG102. To remind you, the current topics from ENG102 are Bail Reform, Homework, Communication in Relationships, Ocean Pollution, The War in Ukraine, Homework (is it necessary), Nursing Burnout, and Self-Driving Cars. Under no circumstances may you choose one of these subjects.
Whatever subject you wrote on for ENG240.
Any paper you wrote for another class at NU or another university.
See a pattern? We want a new paper. It is important to note that the papers you wrote in ENG102 and ENG240 are argumentative in nature, so they would not fit this assignment anyway.
Important Note
Do not use generative AI programs (Chat GPT, Bard, Bing, Blenderbot, etc.) to write this paper. It will be considered academic dishonesty and the paper will receive a failing grade. We have software to detect use of AI programs to generate papers.
My Research question is: How would allowing cannabis use in the military could influence recruitment, retention, job performance, and is it potential for a shift government policy? -
“The Impact of Organizational Structure on Work and Culture: A Comparative Analysis of Best and Worst Places to Work”
The purpose of this assignment is to have the student identify and analyze various organizational structures, along with how structure impacts work and organizational culture.
Using class material from the past weeks/modules, trade sources, and research-based articles from the online library, develop a 6-8-page research paper that addresses the relationship of structure to culture in creating an effective and efficient place to work. For this assignment, you will evaluate the strategies managers can utilize to impact organizational structure and culture. Address the following in your paper:
Compare and contrast good (pick two) and not-so-good organizations (total of four organizations). You can select from the best places to work (Forbes, Glassdoor, etc.). Research and describe each organizations’ structures and cultures.
Evaluate organizational structure in a global, domestic, service, or industrial setting. Consider how each differs in regards to the mission, management decision-making, and workflow.
Analyze why the structure and culture work well in those organizations that are deemed the best places to work.
Identify three strategic ways a manager could improve the interface of structure and culture.
Finally, many large organizations are trying to transition to smaller more flexible structures. Identify three management strategies that can make a bureaucratic organization a more team-oriented, collaborative, and inclusive culture.
Use at least three scholarly articles and other professional sources to support your work.
How do I set up the paper? Title Page, Introduction, the body of the paper, conclusion, and a reference list. Use headers! Must use in-text citations for all references APA Format Sample Paper, MLA Format Sample Paper, or Chicago Format Sample Paper.
Additional Requirements and How to Prepare the Submission
Proper formatting with in-text citations and a reference list is required.
Read the grading rubric for the assignment
Check the instructions to make sure all elements of the assignment have been covered.
Third-person writing is required. Third-person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first-person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second-person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person .
Contractions are not used in business writing, so the expectation is that students do not use contractions in assignments.
Paraphrase from relevant sources to show a greater understanding of the topics. Limit quotes, though when used explain their significance. Provide the page or paragraph number as appropriate. Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.
Students are expected to use a variety as well as multiple course readings and research to support ideas, reasoning, and conclusions.
Submit the final project into the appropriate assignment submission folder.
References to be used will be attached to this order

“Learning from Crisis: Analyzing Jet Blue’s Response and Lessons for Effective Crisis Management”
Jet Blue Airlines Case Study Response Questions
1) On page 159, it states that Jet Blue took corrective actions after the crisis and developed
the Passenger Bill of Rights. The article criticizes them for not having this plan created
before the crisis took place. Do you think this is something that should have been in place
before hand, or is it simply too difficult to plan and account for every possible crisis that
might occur? Explain.
2) What is one thing that Jet Blue did right in this situation?
3) What is one thing Jet Blue should have done better to handle this crisis?
4) Social media such as Twitter did not really become popular until 2007 so people were not
tweeting as much about things that were happening. In what ways could social media
have been helpful and harmful to Jet Blue in this situation?
5) In the Duke University case study in Unit 2, the university president was reluctant and
late in his apology for his rash decision. However, the Jet Blue CEO was just the opposite
and apologized immediately for the failure of his company. So, why did the company still
receive significant backlash?
