Leader prototypicality is defined by how well a leader embodies and represents members of their group and has been found to foster favorable attitudes (Chang, 2021). For this journal assignment you will consider the importance of leader prototypicality and connect it to your personal leadership style. You will also describe your value system and connect it to your Personal Leadership Framework.
First, consider the following questions:
How important is it for group members to identify with their leader? Why?
Are there times or situations when leader individuality may be more or less important than group prototypicality?
Think about your personal leadership style. When might your individuality be more important than group prototypicality? When might group prototypicality be more important than your individuality?
Then in your journal, write about circumstances when your individuality might be more important than group prototypicality. Also describe situations when the reverse might be true. Use the following concepts in your writing:
The concept of followership
How your value system is structured
How your value system ties into your overall Personal Leadership Conceptual Framework

For this assignment, you will complete the News Production Research Theory Worksheet. After reading Chapter 13 (specifically p. 332-333, under the New Production Research heading), you will evaluate each of the four news outlet samples provided in the worksheet (K-LOVE, Los Angeles Daily News, Associated Press via Yahoo News, and Fox News).
Define the “slant” of each sample as an example of fragmented, personalized, dramatized, or normalized news convention. Utilize the criteria in your textbook reading to identify the defining criteria of each convention. For example, dramatized news convention offers a hero, a villain, and a conflict. Identify these elements in the sample provided. Continue this practice for the other examples based on the specific criteria of each convention.

Week 3 Project: Drafting a Policy and Program
For this assignment, you will draw upon the work you have completed thus far, and take your intervention plan through the next two stages. First, you’ll draft a policy and a program in response to the problem you have been considering, then you’ll choose which approach is preferable. Having made the choice between program and policy, you’ll then create an action plan for moving forward.
Your written report should cover the following specific areas:
Program
Describe the program you intend to create.
Define the target population; who or what is the target?
Define the job descriptions of the staff and list the skills and training required.
Policy
Draft a specific policy statement that addresses the problem.
Define the target population of the policy; who are included and who are not?
Identify the responsible authority; who is required to carry out the policy and the responsibilities?
Intervention Selection
Choose between the program and policy options that you have described, and justify your choice. Explain why you have chosen to proceed with the intervention that you selected.
Action Plan
This section of your report will present your action plan for implementing the program or policy.
Your action plan should follow the specific steps presented in the lecture and readings:
Identify resources needed and make cost projections.
List the specific activities that will need to be accomplished and assign responsibility for each task to a particular employee. You may refer to job titles rather than make up employee names.

each question should be two pages each
q1
 Prisons  are, in many respects, a microcosm of society. In 2030, the last baby  boomer will turn 65 and one in five Americans will be older than 65.  This trend in our nation’s aging population is also represented within  the nation’s prisons system. For instance, the number of prisoners age  50 or older experienced a 330 percent increase from 1994 to 2011,  therefore, the growth rate of older prisoners—especially those 65 and  older—is expected to increase significantly. 
q2
 
Read the following article before responding to this question, Serving our country to serving time: The rise and value of veteran treatment courts
There  is obviously tremendous value in the establishment of veteran treatment  courts, especially among those diagnosed with Post-traumatic stress  disorder (PTSD) and/or a traumatic brain injury (TBI). 
Is  there a need to create “First Responder Courts” given that many first  responders, including those in law enforcement and corrections,  suffering from depression, anxiety, and PTSD leading to many dying by  suicide. Develop a persuasive argument both for and against the  establishment of first responder courts.

The Department of Corrections (DOC) has identified the lack of education credentials as a key factor in reoffending. In other words, inmates with a high school diploma are less likely to reoffend upon release as compared to inmates without a high school diploma. On the average, 80 percent of the inmates without a high-school degree reoffend as compared to 40 percent of inmates with a degree.
Programmers at DOC have identified two model programs:
The first program is called Education First; the outcome of the program is passing the high-school equivalency examination. This program has undergone extensive outcome evaluations, and the success rate is figured to be 50 percent, which means that 50 percent of the inmates are successful in passing the high-school equivalency examination.
The second program is General Education Development Preparatory program (GED Prep). The outcome of this program is also passing the high-school equivalency examination. The success rate of this program is identified as 80 percent, which means that 80 percent of the inmates that take this program are successful in passing the high-school equivalency examination.
The first program, Education First, costs $500 per pupil, and the second program, GED Prep, costs $5000 per pupil. Currently, the cost of incarceration is $32,000 per year.
Since the DOC has experienced decreasing budgets over the past 20 years, cost of programs is a very real concern.
Which of the two—Education First or the GED Prep program should be adopted? Why? Analyze the scenario and the programs and provide a logical justification for your answer considering:
The quality of the programs
The goal(s) and objective(s) of the programs
The policies’ design
The success rate of the programs
The cost considerations
