here are the three assignments for this class

ISOM 351

Write a 34 page analysis of ethical and communication issues surrounding one of the provided whistleblower scenarios and then write a 1-page communication detailing lessons learned from the incident.

You are contemplating going above your management team to bring something that you feel is being overlooked to the attention of those higher up, maybe even the press. The issue matters enough to you, and you feel your management either wont or isnt in a position to do something about it.

Hopefully, in your current work environment, youre in a collaborative enough place that this kind of situation doesnt come up. But its common in many different types of organizations, and it raises all kinds of questions, not just about ethics, but how you go about communicating, too

Whistleblowers have been responsible for bringing many illegal or unethical situations to light. There are several modern examples of whistleblowers that we can examine. In this assessment, you are asked to identify the communication strategy used and analyze the ethical and communication issues surrounding one of these scenarios.

1. Erin Brockovich and PG&E – Erin Brockovich became a whistleblower when she spoke out against Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) after finding widespread unexplained illness in the town of Hinkley, California while working as a legal assistant. PG&E had contaminated the towns drinking water with toxic chromium 6. She decided to expose the issue by gathering evidence, connecting with affected residents, and advocating for their rights.
2. Enron – The Enron corporation was a company dealing in energy resources based in Houston, Texas. Enrons scandal involved dubious accounting practices, leading to bankruptcy. Executives engaged in fraudulent transactions, hiding losses and inflating profits. These issues were exposed by Sherron Watkins, one of the executives in the company.
3. OceanGate – In June 2023, the OceanGate submersible Titan embarked on a voyage to the wreck of the Titanic with five passengers, including the CEO, on board. The submersible experienced a catastrophic hull failure, resulting in the loss of the vessel and all passengers. David Lochridge, the director of marine operations, expressed concerns about the safety of the ship years prior to the disaster.

Consider the whistleblowers decision to expose the illegal or unethical activity, their motivation, the manner in which they communicated the issues, and the recipients of the communication. Complete both parts of this assessment in a single Word document and be sure to cite all sources using APA reference style.

Part 1: Analyze the Scenario

Using at least two of the provided scenarios:

• Analyze the ethical decision that the whistleblower faced as it relates to how they communicated.
  • Consider the sender, receiver, message, and channel.
• Analyze the outcomes of the communication strategy.
  • Make sure to consider how the communication was distributed, the possible intent, and the content of the communication.
• Describe the effectiveness of the communication in the scenario.
  • Focus on how specific events were influenced by the communication.
  • What were the primary failures and successes?

Part 2: Write a Communication

Imagine that you are working in the same industry as the whistleblower in your chosen scenario and have followed this sequence of events closely. Your research has provided you with a great deal that can be applied to your industry, and you are anxious to share your lessons learned from the situation.

• Write a communication to a colleague that conveys and reinforces the primary lessons learned from the incident.
  • Be sure to focus on the actions of the whistleblower in your communication.
  • The medium is your choice, but it is also very important, so state the medium you have chosen within your message and the reason you feel it is the most appropriate medium to use. Address possible reasons such as confidentiality, tone, and convention
  • 
    
  • Format and length: Complete and submit Parts 1 and 2 of this assessment in a single Word document.
    • Part 1 should be 34 double-spaced pages.
    • Part 2 should be 1 double-spaced page.
      • Page counts do not include your cover page or reference page.

For this week, please review the Lesson 5 materials, includingthe lesson powerpoint and What level of risk is acceptable?

2) Please review the best practices in the KPMG NavigatingUncertainty article and assess the maturity of your organization’s ERMprogram. What is working? What is not working as desired or has not beenimplemented? Do you see any benefits from the program or challengeswith it? Response should be approximately 150 – 200 words.

Macroeconomics discussion

Bank Failures

Before we start this week, I want each of you to research the bank failures of 2007-2009 and the government bailouts. Provide a short (50-100 words) summary of your findings. What stands out to you? How many went to jail over this? What did you learn that you didn’t know prior to this research?

macroeconomics assignment

Reflection Paper

Assignment: For this Weekly Wrap-Up, think about the topics that were discussed this week, and then list and explain 5 new things you learned that are directly related to these concepts. Include things that stood out to you or surprised you. Has your opinion about one of the topics changed as a result of what you learned? Be sure to provide examples. Your reflection should be between 150-200 words.

Life science discussion

Discovery of DNA

Watch the following video about the discovery of DNA. After watching the video, provide your thoughts about how the discovery took place. Should Watson and Crick have received all the glory? Was Wilkins wrong for taking the photograph? Was Rosalind at fault for not sharing her work? You decide. Include an outside source with your post. You may cite the video as your outside source, but you are also free to consult other references.

Life science assignment (also uploaded) Week 5 Assignment: Monsters Genetic Lab

Predicting Genotype and Phenotype and Using Punnett Squares

Background

Punnett squares are usedto predict the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring from a parent cross. Genotypes represent the alleles (the actual genetic makeup), and phenotypes are the expression of the alleles (the appearance). There are several types of inheritance patterns, but this activity focuses on three. Complete dominance is the inheritance pattern which results in the expression of the dominant phenotype as long as one dominant allele is present. For example, if tall (T) plants are dominant to short (t) plants, the TT genotype and the Tt genotype both result in tall plants. The tt genotype would result in short plants. Most genes follow this pattern. Incomplete dominance results in a phenotype that is intermediate between the dominant and recessive phenotype when an individual is heterozygous. For example, in snapdragons, red (R) flowers have incomplete dominance over white (R) flowers. A genotype of RR results in red flower, RR results in white flowers, and RR (heterozygous) results in pink flowers. Codominanceallows expression of both alleles. For example, in blood type, A and B are codominant to O. An individual with one A allele and one B allele has AB blood type because neither allele is dominant over the other. They are both expressed.

Procedure

There are three parts to this lab. Follow the directions carefully for each part, filling in the data tables as you work through each section.

In Part One, you use a coin to determine the genotype for the female monster. In Part Two, you determine the genotype or phenotype for the traits of the male monster. Finally, in Part Three, you cross your female and male monsters to produce offspring and use Punnett squares to determine their traits.

Part One

1. Flip a coin twice to determine the genotype for each trait and record it in the data table on the next page.

a. Heads = allele 1, Tails = allele 2

b. (Example: if you flipped heads twice, your monster would have two copies of allele 1 for his genotype. Look ahead to Table 2 to see what a partially filled out table looks like.)

2. Determine the phenotype resulting from the allele pair for each trait.

3. Repeat steps 12 for each trait and complete Table 1 for female monster.

Table 1: Genotypes & Phenotypes for Female Monster

Trait	Allele 1	Allele 2	Genotype	Phenotype
Eye	Two small eyes (E)	One large eye (e)
Eye Color (incomplete)	Red (R)	White (R)
Skin Color (codominant)	Green (G)	Blue (B)
Tail Shape	Curly (C)	Straight (c)
Tail Color	Purple (P)	Orange (p)
Teeth	Sharp (S)	Round (s)
Feet (incomplete)	Four toes (F)	Two toes (F)
Horn Color	Purple (W)	White (w)
Ear shape	Pointy (Y)	Round (y)
Claws	Long (L)	Short (l)

Part Two

Fill in the missing genetic information in the table for the male based on the alleles used for the traits as found in Table 1.

Table 2: Genotypes & Phenotypes for Male Monster

Trait	Genotype	Phenotype
Eyes	ee
Eye Color (incomplete)		White
Skin Color (codominant)		Green
Tail Shape		Straight
Tail Color	Pp
Teeth		Round
Feet (incomplete)	FF
Horn Color	ww
Ear shape	yy
Claws		Short

Part Three

The female monster (described in Table 1) and the male monster (described in Table 2) plan to have baby monsters. They are interested in finding out the probability that their offspring will have each trait by using Punnett squares.

Here is a YouTube video that explains Punnett squares and how they are used to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses.

Example: based on the video.

Hairiness		Hairy Guinea Pig
		H	h
Hairless Guinea Pig	h	Hh	hh
	h	Hh	hh

In this case, there is a 50% chance of having a hairy guinea pig for the offspring since two of the four squares would have the hairy phenotype. (1 square would be 25%, 2 squares 50%, 3 squares 75%, and 4 squares 100%)

Fill in the Punnett squares to predict what traits would result from a cross between the two monsters for each trait and answer the questions.

1. Eyes What percent of offspring will have only one eye?

EYES		Male Genotype
Female Genotype

2. Eye Color What percent of offspring will have red eyes?

EYE COLOR		Male Genotype
Female Genotype

3. Skin Color What percent of offspring will have green skin?

SKIN COLOR		Male Genotype
Female Genotype

4. Tail What percent of offspring will have a straight tail?

TAIL		Male Genotype
Female Genotype

5. Feet What percent of offspring will have three toes?

FEET		Male Genotype
Female Genotype

6. Horn Color What percent of offspring will have purple horns?

HORN COLOR		Male Genotype
Female Genotype

7. Ears What percent of offspring will have round ears?

EARS		Male Genotype
Female Genotype

8. Claws What percent of offspring will have long claws?

CLAWS		Male Genotype
Female Genotype

check attachments. I need three different answers my classmates. All three should be different. Follow instructions and template for ppt

Access an online or in-print news publication. Locate and read an article that discusses an ethical violation or dilemma that occurred in between 2020 and 2023 that involves a company or well-known person. (Choosing a dilemma or violation that did not occur in the 2020 – 2023, will result in a zero grade.)

Prepare a 2-page properly formatted memorandum that responds to the requirement outlined below.

Begin the memorandum by providing a short, but thorough summary of the ethical violation or dilemma. Be sure to include who, what, when, and where. Include the date and name of the article and news publication.

Share your thoughts about the ethical issue. Do you think the violation is serious? Why or why not? Who do you think was hurt or adversely affected by the ethical issue? Why? What do you think the consequences should be? At the end of your memo, include the link location for the article. (Do NOT attach a copy of the article to your memo.)
