Productivity metrics can be based on output, e.g., lines of code written, customer complaints addressed, emails sent. Productivity can also be self-reported – how productive are you?

Remote Work

Research remote work (work from home) productivity and review the following and answer:

There has been much discussion about the effects of remote work on employee productivity with some commentators arguing that productivity has increased due to remote work – others that it has declined. It turns out that it rather depends on how you define and measure productivity.

For example, productivity metrics can be based on output, e.g., lines of code written, customer complaints addressed, emails sent. Productivity can also be self-reported – how productive are you?

Measures or productivity often include hours worked, and considerations of well-being, collaboration, and innovation are becoming more important.

Develop a measure of employee productivity that makes sense for remote workers, and using your definition of productivity, determine what effect remote work has.

Briefly explain three things that you learned from these resources that have contributed to the tendency to relate technology to the male gender and stereotypes about gender and technology?

Technology & Perspectives 3

(1)Briefly explain three things that you learned from these resources that have contributed to the tendency to relate technology to the male gender and stereotypes about gender and technology?

(2)Identify one of your perceptions about technology and gender and explain why you might hold that idea.

For instance, maybe you hold the idea that all car mechanics are men. You think this because you have only seen boys taking engine repair classes in high school, and every mechanic shop you have gone to has only had men working there repairing cars. You have also seen many television shows about racing, and the majority of those who drive racing cars and who work in the pits are men. Also, when you think of “mechanic,” an image of a greasy man in overalls holding a wrench comes into your head.

Alternately, maybe you hold the idea that women like to vacuum. You hold this idea because you grew up only seeing the female grownup in your household use the vacuum cleaner. You have seen countless commercials and television shows with women vacuuming, and you remember something about the old Kirby vacuum cleaner sales people always wanting to talk to the “woman of the house.”

(3)Finally, discuss why you think there can be such resistance, as exemplified by #Gamergate when genders other than male attempt to participate in creating and using technology?

(4)Use two quotes from any of your resources to support or explain your points. Make sure to provide in-text citations for both quotes in MLA format.

(5)Provide references for all sources in MLA format

Graphic Organizer on Marriages

Using the three different representations of marriage presented in the module (polyandry, arranged marriages, and walking marriages), fill in the graphic organizer below by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. In Part A, you will have to first identify the biases you have regarding marriage and their influence on your perspective of marriage. In Part B, you will then take an objective stance and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these types of marriage. In Part C, you will create a question a social scientist might ask to further the investigation of marriage.

In this first step, do your best to identify three of your biases on marriage due to your culture and religion. The American culture and legal system generally allow only one type of marriage.
