Unit 7: The Community Stakeholder – Debate

/in /by

Debate: Carolcon Metals 

Carolcon Metals in Minnesota is in trouble. For the past 5 years, they have been losing ground to the competition in an especially fierce industry. All competitors have moved mining and production facilities to countries with lower wages and fewer environmental and safety restrictions. Carolcon has been a stable employer for three generations in the town, and its 700 employees are one-tenth the population of 7,000 people.

However, it is faced with a sobering choice: move the mining and production facilities overseas or face greater loss of market share. The company probably will not go out of business because they manufacture a unique and patented product, but they will continue to lose profits.

The Biron Islands are a small chain of islands in the Caribbean. They have been an independent nation for 130 years. They are hoping Carolcon will consider opening a mining and production facility on Greentag, the largest and poorest island. Greentag has abundant supplies of the natural resources Carolcon Metals seeks. Also, it has an eager work force. Currently, there is 50% unemployment on Greentag, so the people there are desperate for an employer to provide wages to stem the tide of starvation and lack of medical care. 

Debate Guidelines 
Students whose last names begin with the letters A through K will argue to keep Carolcon Metals in Minnesota. These students should clearly indicate their position on the debate by beginning each Discussion post with the heading “IN OPPOSITION TO MOVING.”

(ME)

Students whose last names begin with the letters L through Z will argue to move Carolcon Metals to the island of Greentag. These students should clearly indicate their position on the debate by beginning each Discussion post with the heading “IN SUPPORT OF MOVING.”

Discussion Question 8

 Andrew Cassidy 8/15/2014 1:51:10 PM
 

Theory of change is something that has building blocks in order to reach a long-term goal.  The inter-changing building blocks are outcomes, results, accomplishments or preconditions that help towards the pathway of change in building the framework.  Theory of change is based off inventions in the outcomes towards a specific pathway.  This pathway is often a complex design that is designed to bring about change.  Stakeholders in the Theory of Change discuss the changing process and the framework established as a result of change.  The results reveal assumptions that are evaluated through research which are strengthened through goals that are plausible.  Stakeholders understand the vision of long-term goals.  Measuring the progress along the way will help identify the likelihood of the pathway that they will travel down.  Theory of change refers to strategic planning, decision-making and evaluation.  Indicators will measure the success and generate action in order to reach goals.  Specific instructions are needed in order to achieve goals.  Articulating the decisions have to be tested and measured thoroughly.  Theory of change is map to get you from point A to point B. 

Some is that might prompt this dynamic are that the roadmap may be long and take several tries to get to the common goal in mind.  As outputs lead to outcomes, the social value desired should be met.  This map may contain small steps but might have many along the way in order achieve your designated goal in mind.  After a step, do a reflection on the achieved results desired.  As you progress in your theory of change model then make sure your illustrations visualize your end goal.  Your design is set against other people’s behaviors. 

As a chief, one must deal with the perception of the public as this theory of change progresses.  It almost seems as if there is a partnership between the public and police officers.  This concept directs how tasks are to be completed by the police instead of empowering them.  The chief needs to make sure there is a shared vision that sees the big picture and deal with issues that think strategically towards the public.

Arson unit 1 discussion board 1 7/22/14

/in /by

 

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.

 

At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.

 

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

 

You are the lead investigator for a suspicious fire in the Novandon Fur Warehouse, which was cold storage for mink and sable fur coats. The fire scene investigative team tells you that the fire started in several points simultaneously, and it appears the telephone line that monitors the fire detection equipment has been cut. The fire was fully involved by the time the fire department arrived. The warehouse and the contents are a complete loss. You must consider the direction that your investigators must take to determine the possible motives for this fire. Direct them to look in at least 3 directions for a motive. Keep in mind the type of warehouse this was.

 

  • Concerning the owner of the warehouse, what documentation would you get to help you establish potential motives? Why?
  • When interviewing the owner of the warehouse, what specific threats might you ask about? Why?
    • How would the owner’s responses be helpful? Explain.
