Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace

What was your ethical dilemma topic selection (from Week 2)? Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace

What is the specific case you have selected? Is it from your own workplace, or based on research? selected workplace violations from my past employer.

What is the background of the case, including its context and origin? Opening and operating postal equipment correctly and safely not to cause bodily injury and harm

What happened? Use the reporter’s questions of who, what, when, where, why, and how. We had a team meeting my manager called and it was a safety meeting about safety due to bodily injury due to the use of postal equipment. She went over safety rules and read over a paper advised of safety lifting requirements and safety operating equipment requirements to ensure safety and she read the requirements of opening an APC and BMC unit she started to open the unit and bend to drop the lid lightly downward towards your feet. And after the meeting, she stated don’t follow those instructions due to us having to hit numbers she said to do what you need to do and open equipment as fast as you can to get the mail out to put on the belt as fast as possible to process. And before we had the safety meeting employees were opening the APC and BMC as they learned what worked for them hurting and injuring themselves.

What makes this case an ethical dilemma? How might people with different ethical viewpoints perceive this case? This was unethical because according to the law we companies have to follow OSHA protocol to make sure employees are properly using equipment and not injuring themselves due to a manager just wanting to hit numbers for a bonus and this violated OSHA code this equipment weighed over 2000lbs

How does this show the principle of incident and reflected waves?Do it again, but this time make a positive wave by quickly yanking the wrench up and back down. Are the incident and reflected waves still opposites?

Wave on a String

1. Set it to manual, fixed end, high tension, low or no damping, slow-motion. These will be your settings for most of this lab. Reset the setting after each use. Do you understand this?

2. Produce one quick wave by yanking the wrench down and back up. Which way does the waveform point (up or down)?

3. What happens to that direction when the wave hits the clamp on the right and bounces back to you (up or down)?

4. How does this show the principle of incident and reflected waves?

5. Do it again, but this time make a positive wave by quickly yanking the wrench up and back down. Are the incident and reflected waves still opposites?

6. Make a complete statement about what is happening, using the terms “reflected”, “incident” and “inverted”.

7. Now it gets challenging. You want to make a destructive interference wave. Make a quick, large “up” wave as before, and when the wave gets to about the 3rd green ball marker make another large up wave.

8. What happens when an inverted (negative) wave crosses an up (positive) wave? HINT: You might have to do this several times to get it to work. It helps visualize it by using the pause button. Did you ever get the waveforms to completely destroy each other?

9. When the waves pass through each other they immediately regain their original form. Now, do you need to re-write your answer to #8?

10. Finally, try to make a constructive interference. This is a little easier. You will make an “up” wave as before, and then about the time of the 3rd green ball, make a “down” wave. What will be the direction of the “down” wave after it reflects?

11. What happens to the amplitude when two waves pass each other?

12. Sometimes in the ocean a “rogue wave” will seemingly come out of nowhere, tower over small ships and quickly disappear. They can be quite dangerous. From what you have done, explain in a sentence or two what might cause rogue waves.

PLSC 2306 Assignment 4
Federalism-a South Dakota case

South Dakota’s legal drinking age was 19 years old. Young people from neighboring states with higher drinking ages would drive to South Dakota to buy beer. Selling beer was also profitable for small businesses so that there were many business supporters of the current state drinking age.

Congress then passed a law requiring all states wanting money from the United States government to help take care of their portions of interstates to raise their drinking ages to 21. If states did not raise their drinking ages, they would lose five (5) percent of their federal highway funding.

The U. S. Government argued that different drinking ages across states created an “incentive to drink and drive,” creating danger on the nation’s interstate highways.
Congress is charged with promoting the general welfare of the country, which in this case means uniform state drinking laws.

States are not forced to take federal money or to obey this law. This federal law was simply to encourage all states to raise their drinking ages.
