LU03 Discussion

As a professional sports team CEO, ethics and law are crucial, but law should be considered first when making organizational decisions. This is because the law binds the rules that the organization must follow legally, and violating the law could result in serious consequences such as fines. When a CEO ensures legal compliance in their decision-making process, ethical consideration acts as a guide on how to operate within the law boundaries to ensure the decisions made respects all stakeholders, from athletes to fans and the community, including upholding fairness, and integrity.

Violating the law can have severe consequences for an organization such as legal penalties, and reputation damage, which could lead to loss of credibility and business, financial loss from the lawsuits, settlements or fines, and loss of partnerships and contracts. It may also affect the team or a player, as being involved in a legal violation could result in banning or suspending a player, thus affecting the team's morale and performance. On the other hand, if ethics are violated, the organization may lose public trust, from fans, patterns, and sponsors, who expect the team to act with integrity. It might also tarnish the brand image and rebuilding it might take a while. Ethical violations also can create a toxic work environment, leading to low employee/athlete morale and high turnover rates.

In the world of sports, there are many scenarios where laws and ethics have been violated. A general example is the FIFA corruption scandal. According to Panja & Draper (2022), several high-ranking officials within the FIFA organization were accused of being involved in illegal activities such as taking bribes, and money laundering, related to the World Cup hosting rights awarding. This is a clear violation of law as the official was charged with engaging in illegal activities, and the investigations led to their arrest. The actions also violated ethics as they undermined sports integrity, affecting the organization's credibility and culture. This could been handled through immediate transparency on the issues, leadership overhaul, setting stricter internal control and clear ethical guidelines, and making a restitution to rebuild trust.

Fast Mapping, Naming Explosion, & Telegraphic Speech

Speaker: Deb Vos

By 13 months of age, children begin to quickly learn the meaning of new words and understand that

words correspond to particular things or events. Infants learn new words through fast mapping, a

process of quickly acquiring and retaining a word after hearing it applied a few times. At 18 months,

infants are more likely to lean a new word if both they and the speaker are attending to the new object

when the speaker introduces the new word. Two-year old’s have been shown to be able to learn a word

even after a brief exposure under vague conditions or after over hearing a speaker use the word when

talking to someone else. Between 24 to 30 months, infants can learn new words even when their

attention is distracted by other objects or events. Children’s knowledge and interests influence their

vocabulary development. They are more likely to learn words that are related to those they know and

label objects, actions, and events that they find interesting.

Fast mapping improves with age and accounts for vocabulary spurts, or naming explosion-a period of

rapid vocabulary learning that occurs between 16-24 months of age. During this period, infants apply

their word-learning strategies to learn multiple words of varying difficulty, seemingly at once. Within

weeks, a toddler may increase their vocabulary from 50 words to more than 400 words. Infants vary in

the speed of word acquisition, with some showing a rapid increase in vocabulary before others. In

addition, although fast mapping helps young children learn many new words, their own speech lags

behind what they can understand because young children have difficulty retrieving words from memory.

At about 21 months of age, or usually about 8 to 12 months after they say their first word, most children

compose their first simple two-word sentences, such as “Kitty come.” Telegraphic speech, like a

telegram, includes only a few essential words. Like other milestones in language development,

telegraphic speech is universal among toddlers. Children around the world use two-word phrases to

express themselves.

Language development follows a predictable path. Between 20 and 30 months of age, children begin to

follow the rules for forming sentences in a given language. Soon they become more comfortable with

using plurals, past tense, articles such as a or the, prepositions such as in and on, and conjunctions such

as and but. By 2 ½ years of age, children demonstrate an awareness of the communicative purpose of

speech and the importance of being understood.

Parents have many opportunities to facilitate their children’s language development. Some strategies

include:

• Be an active conversational partner by initiating conversation with your child.

• Narrate your daily activities to your child as you do them.

• Talk in a slowed-down pace and don’t worry about how you sound to other adults. This will help

your child detect words in the sea of sounds they experience.

• Use parent-look and parent-gesture, and name what you are looking at. It also helps to point to

what you want them to look at, then name it.

• When you talk with infants and toddlers be simple, concrete, and repetitive. Use familiar words

often to help them remember the words.

• Play word games like peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake to help little ones learn words.

• Remember to listen to toddlers’ speech and try not to supply words and thoughts for them. Let

them express themselves.

• Expand and elaborate on their language abilities by asking open-ended questions and by

repeating and adding, or recasting their utterances.
