Discussion Prompt: Marriage
Most marriages in the United States are “love marriages,” in which the couple reports high levels of romantic love prior to being married. However, the divorce rate in the United States is about 50% for first marriages and even higher for second and third marriages. In addition, marital satisfaction falls quickly for all couples. Interestingly, the divorce rate for arranged marriages is very low and marital satisfaction remains high for these couples over long periods. Consider why these differences might exist between love marriages and arranged marriages. Some topics to consider are: cultural differences in social norms between the United Sates and other countries where arranged marriages are prevalent; differences in divorce laws; the role of cognitive dissonance and inadequate justification; and Sternberg’s theory of love. Given the relative success of arranged marriages, would you consider this option? At what age might you consider this option?

Manufacturing industry vs healthcare industry
1) As health care looks at continuous improvement (as done in manufacturing), one of the most prominent questions that has arisen is, “Can the principles that worked in manufacturing really transfer over to health care? Taking care of a patient is not like building a car on an assembly line. Can standardized processes really work in a setting that focuses on humans and their needs?”
2) Write a paper that takes a position on this argument. Justify the rationale for your position.

THE POLITICAL FRAME
In the Module 3 Case, you will write Chapter 3 of your thesis-style paper – relating to the Political Frame. Using specific examples of “politics” (i.e., the “jungle”) as defined by Bolman and Deal, you will use the Political Frame as a lens through which you will analyze the downfall of Walt Disney Company CEO Michael Eisner.
Begin the Module 3 Case by visiting the Walt Disney Company website:
The Walt Disney Company. (2014).
The following articles provide a good starting point concerning former CEO Eisner’s tenure with the Walt Disney Company:
White, D. (2005, Oct 01). When Mickey finally turned on his master. Michael Eisner’s reign at Disney is over. Dominic White reports. The Daily Telegraph. Retrieved from Proquest.
Consider Michael Karpeles’ article relating to politics in the Disney boardroom:
Karpeles, M. D. (2005). Boardroom lessons from the Disney/Ovitz case. Corporate Board, 26(155), 6-10. Retrieved on June 10, 2014 from EBSCO – Business Source Complete.
Finally, read the following case study:
Forbes, W., & Watson, R. (n.d.). Destructive corporate leadership and board loyalty bias: A case study of Michael Eisner’s long tenure at Disney Corporation. City University London.
Case Assignment
After you have reviewed the contents of the Walt Disney Company website, completed the above readings and those provided at the Background page of Module 3, and performed additional research from the library and the internet, write a 6- to 7-page paper in which you do the following:
Using the following five assumptions of the Political Frame, complete an in-depth assessment of the Walt Disney Company:
Organizations are coalitions of diverse individuals and interest groups.
There are enduring differences among coalition members in values, beliefs, information, interests, and perceptions of reality.
Most important decisions involve allocating scarce resources—who gets what.
Scarce resources and enduring differences make conflict central to organizational dynamics and underline power as the most important asset.
Goals and decisions emerge from bargaining, negotiation, and jockeying for position among competing stakeholders.
Keys to the Assignment
The key aspects of this assignment that are to be covered in your 6- to 7-page paper include the following:
Using Bolman and Deal’s Political Frame, analyze the political behaviors surrounding the departure of Disney CEO Michael Eisner. Specifically, address the following:
Briefly identify and discuss the key political forces that led to Eisner’s downfall.
How does the “Jungle” metaphor apply to the Eisner case?
Describe the coalitions that formed at Disney. Then, identify those salient interests that caused the division between coalitions, and how these differences were ultimately resolved.
Discuss the Eisner case study in the context of two or three of Bolman and Deal’s Political Frame assumptions included above. How do the assumptions you’ve chosen inform what happened in the Michael Eisner case?
Briefly comment on the significance of the “Toxic Triangle” (see Figure 1 of Forbes & Watson’s case study about Eisner’s departure), and discuss how this model informs the Eisner case study.
The background readings will not give you all the answers to the Case. Therefore, you are required to perform some research in the library, and use a minimum of 3-4 scholarly sources from the library to support and justify your understanding of the case.
Your paper must demonstrate evidence of critical thinking (if you need tips on critical thinking, . Don’t simply restate facts – instead, be sure to interpret the facts you have accumulated from your research.
Remember that the Module 4 Case will also serve as Chapter 4 of your session-long thesis-style paper.

Nonverbal Communication
Topic: ‘Kinesics across various Cultures’ or ‘Cultural Perspectives on Chronemics’ and expand upon the topic by relating it to a specific context, interpersonal interaction, relationship, etc. After choosing a topic and context, please consider the following prompts: 1.) How has your topic changed from its initial conception? 2.) Does your area (i.e., topic plus context) have cultural/intercultural associations? 3.) What are the implications for the future within your area? 4.) Do any of the communication theories described in your text apply to your area? How? You are expected to locate five outside resources which specifically address your topic and context. These sources must be peer-reviewed academic journal articles or scholarly books. While you may use your textbook as a source, it will not count as one of the five required sources. The sources should be integrated appropriately into your discussion, and cited in-text according to the standards of APA format. Random direct quotes from your sources without thoughtful integration and commentary, and the use of overly long direct quotes, will result in a low score on the paper. It should be in final, professional form upon submission, including: 6 full pages (i.e., text begins at the top of a page and goes all the way down to the bottom of the page) pages, typed, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins, conforming to APA format. NO space fillers! You should also include a reference page in APA format. The cover page and references do not count toward the page length requirement. Be sure that all sections of your paper are clearly labelled with headers and/or sub-headers. Evaluation: The Final Paper should address all aspects of the assignment described above. You should apply course concepts accurately, use examples to support your discussion, thoughtfully integrate all required outside scholarly sources, and write with clarity (proofreading, correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar are expected). Papers should adhere to APA format (e.g., double-spaced, 1” margins, 12-point Times New Roman font, the use of bolded headers/sub-headers to delineate main points/ideas, reference page and cover page [which do not count toward the minimum page length requirement], in-text citations in APA format for included content from the text and outside sources). The Final Paper must be turned in on time; late papers will not be accepted.
Emotions and Marketing
Emotions can be powerful motivators. Advertisers know this and appeal to our emotions—especially fear—in advertising messages as a tactic to motivate their target audience into behaving in a certain way.
For this assignment, find and view three types of advertising messages:
Political advertising.
Public health advertising.
Commercial advertising.
Try to view more than one example of each type of advertising. Make notes about the overall message and tone. To make this activity more time efficient, you may consider watching ads on YouTube. Search for the type of ad, and then use the filter to narrow your results. For example, you can narrow the political ads results by filtering for ads from this year.
After watching the ads and conducting research, complete the following:
Describe the overall tone of each type of ad. What emotion is the ad trying to arouse?
Describe the behavior the ad is seeking to encourage.
Apply one theory or concept to explain why appealing to emotions such as fear can be highly effective.
Explain the social conditions that foster fearfulness.
Explain how individual perceptions and experiences perpetuate fearfulness.
