ONLY FOR MICHAEL SMITH

INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL SCIENCE

Among the most controversial topics in physical science, global warming has received a great deal of attention during the past decade. Given its great impact on both humans and the environment, lawmakers and scientists must heavily weigh the information that they are presented. Explore this debate in more detail by evaluating both the scientific basis of this phenomenon and the human role in global warming.

Write a three to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Compare and contrast natural versus anthropogenic climate changes. Include at least two (2) specific examples of each.

2. Take a position as to whether or not global warming is taking place. Provide three (3) lines of evidence to support your position.

3. Assess two (2) current mitigation strategies for global warming, such as carbon sequestration, carbon taxing, clean coal technology, higher fuel efficiency standards, and so on. Analyze the effectiveness of this mitigation strategy, as well as its potential costs and policy implications.

4. Speculate on the policy changes that you would propose to help stabilize global climate and determine the business sectors or nations that would be held to more strict standards if you were to implement your proposed policies.

5. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your report must follow these formatting requirements:

· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

· Apply concepts in physical sciences to evaluate current trends and issues in the modern world.

· Describe the physical processes influencing climate and weather.  

· Use technology and information resources to research issues in physical sciences.

· Write clearly and concisely about physical sciences using proper writing mechanics.

HUMAN RESOURCES PAPER

Due Week 3 and worth 125 points

Imagine that you work for a company with an age-diverse workforce. You have baby boomers working with millennials. Their backgrounds are different, and how they view work is different. This is causing some friction within the workforce. Before the tension escalates, you need to have a meeting to discuss the issue. Prepare a five to seven (5-7) slide PowerPoint presentation for your staff meeting that addresses this issue and proposes a solution.

Create a five to seven (5-7) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:

1. Propose a solution that will relieve friction in your company’s age diverse workforce.

2. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:

a. Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide and at least one (1) relevant graphic (photograph, graph, clip art, etc.). Ensure that the presentation is visually appealing and readable from up to 18 feet away. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

b. Include a title slide containing the title of the assignment, your name, your professor’s name, the course title, and the date.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

· Explain effective approaches to the broad spectrum of employee relations, including career development, fostering ethical behavior, discipline, labor relations, and dismissals.

· Use technology and information resources to research issues in human resource management.

· Write clearly and concisely about human resource management using proper writing mechanics.
