The essays require that you write in proper essay format. That is, you should have an introduction (which sets up the thesis of the essay), a body (which fully describes the theory and answers all sub-questions), and a conclusion (which summarizes the theme and content of the essay). Thus, your answer should have at least 3 paragraphs. You should proofread your answer before submitting to ensure that it is free from grammatical, spelling, and typographic errors.
Ethnographic researchers have long studied the lifestyle and street culture of persistent street offenders. They have determined that many persistent offenders have similar lifestyles and values. What are some of the elements of the criminal lifestyle or street culture? How does participation in this lifestyle contribute to people engaging in violent behavior (e.g., robbery, carjacking, sexual assault) instead of legal ways to achieve their desires?
Write a moderator guide on a topic of your choosing, following the format of the Moderator Guide Example at the bottom of the Instructional Materials page for this week. For additional examples of moderator guides, make sure to review . Note though, the Garrison examples are in a different format to what is required here. There is no universal convention for moderator guide formats. You will use a draft of your moderator guide in the live FG session this week. This means you need a functioning draft moderator guide ready for the start of your live FG session. After testing your guide in the live session you can then refine your guide from the live session for submission here. By actually testing your moderator guide (often referred to as a pilot test) in a live session, you likely identify many (or at least some) things you would like to change in the moderator guide.
You should not feel pressured to make your FG guide interesting to your other group members. If your passion or ideal FG topic is something most other people find boring that is okay. Also, if you desire, you can ask your group members to role-play in the live FG. For example, if your FG is about why teenage females use Facebook, you can ask your group members to pretend to be teenage females in the FG. You will use the data you collect during your live FG to write your FG paper (see for more information). However, you can use a FG guide on any topic to achieve a good grade in the Focus Group paper. Given the time constraints of the FG live session, you will likely not have time to ask all of your moderator guide questions during the live session. For this reason, you should identify your most important questions and make sure you ask these questions in the live session. You do not need to make any notes on the assignment of what you believe your most important questions are. This task of identifying these questions is an ungraded and unreviewed exercise you complete alone in preparation for the live session.
Make sure to do the steps listed:
Note: The Moderator Guide Example at the bottom of the instructional materials page for this week is single spaced. For this assignment you can use single space or double space.

Video:
How Do Focus Groups Work?

(Focus on 0:004:30)
Overview & Summary:
This video provides a concise overview of focus groups as a qualitative research method, emphasizing their use in understanding attitudes, opinions, and underlying motivations. It clearly explains the role of the moderator as a facilitator who guides discussion through open-ended questions while allowing participants to interact naturally.
What I liked most about the clip is its emphasis on balanced participation and moderator neutrality. The video reinforces that focus groups are not designed to reach consensus, but rather to surface differing perspectives and group dynamics. This aligns with our course materials, which stress that interaction among participants often generates richer insights than individual interviews.
The video also briefly acknowledges key limitations of focus groups, including dominant participants and social pressure. I appreciated that these challenges were presented as manageable through skilled moderation rather than reasons to avoid the method altogether. One limitation of the clip is that it remains mostly conceptual and does not show a real focus group in action. However, as an introductory video, it effectively connects theory to practical application.
Discussion Question:
What techniques can moderators use to encourage quieter participants to contribute without making them uncomfortable?
Requirements: finish
Please read instructions carefully. There are two parts. First part you will be writing a discussion post for me. Second part you will be responding to 2 peer posts(they are uploaded). Important to note in the instructions you are supposed to also add a graph along with the discussion, and my initial discussion should be at least 600 words. Please make sure to read everything in the instructions. A great essay equals to more business and more tips. Thank you in advance. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ BELOW CAREFULLY AND ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU NEED TO.

Corporate Codes of Ethics vs. Corporate Behavior
All major firms have a code of ethics, which is a document that stipulates that they are committed to a standard of ethical behavior that goes above and beyond what the law of the land stipulates (if the firm was merely following the laws of the land, it wouldnt need a separate code of ethics). But do firms actually believe in their own code? Do its employees adhere to it? For this discussion, I want you to do the following:
1) Pick a company that has been implicated recently in a corporate scandal. For instance, you can choose to look at Volkswagen (the emissions cheating scandal), Facebook (privacy violations), Boeing (failure to ground faulty planes resulting in hundreds of deaths), McKinsey (one of the most famous names in management consulting that proposed cutting spending on food and medical care for migrant detainees in order to save costs), Wells Fargo (that opened millions of fraudulent accounts), Duetche Bank and Hongkong Bank (money laundering)… the list is endless. Read about the scandal from multiple sources. Check to see what the PR response of the firm was.
2) Look up the firms Code of Ethics (or Code of Conduct) on their website.
3) Answer the following questions:
(a) Did the company follow its own code of ethics? If not, why not?
(b) If the code of ethics is not enforced in so many corporations, what is the point of having it? What purpose do you think it serves?
Instructions:
Create a thread with your responses to the prompts above. Your post must be at least 600 words long, not counting any references.
Use as many references as appropriate to indicate what sources you are drawing upon in order to substantiate your answers. I am expecting you to use a minimum of 2 references for this post.
Please be sure that you organize your posts utilizing organizational methods like titles, sub-titles, bullet points, charts, graphs, etc. This will increased readability and exercise those business writing muscles! It doesn’t matter what you have to say if no one reads it. Take the time to organize coherently. Do not use an essay format.
All initial discussion board posts should have a minimum of one visual element. It can be a chart, graph, image, video clip or other supporting visual element. I HIGHLY recommend Statista for graphs and charts.
READINGS
Read Sections 5.1 to 5.5 from Chapter 5 in the textbook:
https://openstax.org/details/books/principles-management (Book is below)
BOOK
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tEeAU6TDKVLcrYlBv6mFJ3mg8ZpW10bf/view?usp=sharing
You should be able to answer the following questions:
(a) What are normative ethics?
(b) What are business ethics?
(c) What is the concept of intrumental values?
(d) What are some of the frameworks for understanding ethics? (The book talks about utilitarianism, universalism, rights-based approaches, justice, virtue ethics, etc.)
(e) What is ethical leadership?
(f) What is the role of corporate culture in the ethical behavior of the employees of an organization?
2) Despite the fact that all major organizations have a formal code of ethics which is written in very righteous language and aspires to sound like the corporation really cares about ethical behavior, the fact is that many corporations engage in unethical behavior when it suits their purpose in complete disregard of their own stated principles. It appears as if their code of ethics is mere lip service to a cause that can be supported as long as it does not interfere with the profit making of the corporation. Look at the following partial list of corporate scandals over the last 3 years:
