Moral dilemma

/in /by

Moral dilemma relating to cultural diversity and multiculturalism

Instructions
For this assignment propose a scenario where you or someone you know are confronted with a moral dilemma relating to cultural diversity and multiculturalism. It cannot be the same as what was covered in the week one discussion.

Cultural diversity refers to religious, sexual, racial, and other forms of social difference. A moral dilemma is a situation in which one must make a decision between two or more options such that the options involve seemingly ethical and/or unethical conduct. Address the following questions:

  • What was the situation? What did the dilemma involve?
  • What would a subjective moral relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that?
  • What would a cultural relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that? Is that approach correct?
  • What did you the person confronting the dilemma decide to do? What moral justification did they give? Is that approach morally correct?
  • Was there an objective moral truth (the objectively right thing to do) in this situation? Why or why not?

Remember, the dilemma should be detailed with description and dialogue. Regard the questions as requirements. This is an essay, so rather than simply providing a list of brief answers to questions, provide an in-depth reflection regarding a difficult ethical situation..

Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations.

Value of diverse perspectives in the process of innovation

Note

To start, watch the video below…
Connected: The amazing power of social networks and how they shape our lives”

Explain the value of diverse perspectives in the process of innovation.
How is this related to the concept of strong versus weak ties?
Why do most large organizations seem to have trouble coming up with and implementing innovations?
If you were running a large organization, how would you make sure that innovative thinking was not only “safe,” but encouraged? Why is it important to make it “safe to fail”? (See Slide 5 in lesson 3 PPT)

In addition to the course readings and lectures (which you may cite along with other sources), you should use LIRN to find at least one additional article related to this topic. One is provided for you (Russel and Russel [1992] in the Readings for Lessons 3 and 4.

The full reference is as follows (Click on Link below):

Takahashi, S. (2015, March). Play this word game to come up with original ideas.

Instructions

The paper should be 6-8 pages long. It should include at least 4 citations, using APA rules. Use 12-pt Times New Roman font and upload it here to your Canvas platform. Be sure to view the rubric to see how your paper will be graded. (see rubric in the first document PAPER ASSIGNMENT 1)

Field  work trip

Field  work trip

The assignment this week will require you to take a field trip to two (2) separate grocery stores. One (1) should be a standard, well-known chain that you regularly shop, think Raley’s/Belair, Safeway, SaveMart, WinCo, Walmart.

Store 2 should be either Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s or Sprouts, whichever you again, frequently shop.

You will be doing a walk through of the entire store and all departments, taking pictures of lighting fixtures, and the areas they light. Be sure to look for types of lighting sources, where and how they are located/mounted. i.e., overhead, suspended, shelving, deli case, restrooms, check-out etc. Is the light source effective? Are you noticing the light for the first time? Are there any standout differences between the grocery supermarket chains and the more Natural food chains?

Create a Powerpoint/slide deck with side by side comparisons of the same department in the different stores. Make a side by side slide comparison of say, broccoli at one store and next to it from the other store. Which store has the more desirable looking broccoli? Which stores lighting creates the most mouth-watering cakes display and why? Compare apples to apples so we can see the difference. Include aisle ways, deli compartment lighting/salad bar etc.

Identify the lamp temperatures used to create warm and cool lit areas. If you are able, identify the light type/source. Which areas are noticeably warm or cool? Are you more attracted to one area or another? Do you notice warm and cool lighting differences throughout the store? How do you notice?

Required areas

bakery
meat/seafood
delicatessen
natural foods section of standard store
produce section
alcohol
frozen food section
dairy
beverages
health & beauty
pantry
household
pet food
bathroom
checkout
If you have other areas you want to include, please do. Be certain to label each photo and provide notes from questions above.

Try and visit the stores at approximately the same time of day of night, so the daylighting (window) is comparable.

Does the light source used meet the color rendering objective of maintaining minimal changes to color appearance? In other words do the items look as close to what you expect them to look like or is the natural color of the item altered?

Note

Last note, eat before you field trip. Maybe do your weekly shopping while you do your homework. Have fun!
