Elaborate on the relationship between resistance to change and communication.Presently, in California and nationally a significant issue is being re-addressed: family leave. A young mother working at a company with a fairly generous family paid leave policy just sent a letter to President and Mrs. Obama. Her situation was that at three months of age, her new baby had to go to daycare so the new mother could return to work, her leave having expired. The first day she left her baby reluctantly at the chosen daycare, her three-month old mysteriously died. Besides now trying to deal legally with the daycare facility, the new mother is now seriously advocating for a national policy on paid family leave which will allow new mothers and fathers at least 6 months—1 year paid leave to nurse their new infants before having to return to work. Mrs. Obama has joined in that advocacy.

Most corporations in the USA do not grant paid family leave currently, and states do not generally require it. Current federal legislation suggests it, but does not require it either, although virtually every other developed Western country does.

1. Is this an issue of human/natural rights or civil rights in the U.S.A.?

2. What part of the U.S. Constitution do you think best applies in this situation?

3. Currently, what federal and California state laws apply to paid family leave?

4. If you were to become involved in advocating for the change in the laws sought by the young mother, how would you participate?

5. Is this a valid public policy issue that should be addressed by the candidates now in the running to be the next U.S.A. president? Why or why not?

6. Is this a generic issue

Assignment 2: OOP

This assignment will give you an opportunity to work with basic switch statement, multiple alternative if statements, and properly indented and nested double alternative if statements.

Complete the following programs:

Statements

Assume that quest is an integer variable containing a question number. Write a program that places the last name of a US President into the Text property of textbox txtOut according to the following criteria:

“Washington” (if quest = 0), “Lincoln” (if quest = 1), “Jefferson” (if quest = 2), or “Roosevelt” (if quest = 3).
Write the above mentioned program:
Using switch statement
Using multiple alternative if statements
Using only properly indented and nested double alternative if statements

Save the interface as Switch.cpp.

Program Design Game Formulas

Most computer games use formulas to define what happens when a user interacts with the environment. For example, the formula for how much damage a player inflicted on a monster might be something like:

damage = (player strength + player weapon) – monster’s protection

Assume that there are 100 possible values for each of the variables on the right side of this formula (from 0 = weak to 99 = strong).

Write a program that:

Allows the users to enter their strength, weapon strength, and the monster’s protection
Finds out what the damage will be on clicking a button

Design a complete solution, including an interface sketch, object table, data table, algorithm, table of testing strategy, and trace examples of good and invalid data through the algorithm to verify that it is correct.

Save your program as GameFormula.cpp

Using Regions Bank, diagnose the organization’s level of resistance and construct a solid communication plan. Submit a four to six (4-6) page paper

Start a “Learning Log” in a spiral, small notebook, or on loose-leaf paper. Do not submit the learning log response with this homework. The entire learning log will be submitted at the end of the semester and will count as a separate homework grade. Throughout the semester, you will be given a prompt for writing in your learning log. The length of these prompts will vary, but all responses should be thoughtful, coherent, and strive to use correct grammar and spelling. For this prompt, a short paragraph should be sufficient. Here’s the prompt:

Learning Log:1:

Reflect on the relationship between design and structural demand. How do you determine the “maximum” load on a structure? Is the “maximum” load always a positive value (consider tension vs. compression, positive vs. negative bending, etc.)? One paragraph

Learning Log 2:

How do the multiple failure paths considered for staggered fasteners relate to ϕ P subscript n calculation?

One paragraph should be fine. Reflect not just on the variable explanation but also on the concept of multiple failure paths / limit states as a whole.

Learning log 3 :

one paragraph . Describe the difference between designing a member for compression member for tension .Which do your prefer, and why ?

Learning log 4 :

Briefly summarize your first team meeting to discuss the design project for this course. How do you intend to get started and/or approach the design? One to two paragraphs.

Learning Log #5:

State the principle of superposition in your own words. Why can you use beam shortcuts to fund ultimate moment demand for problem 5.5-4 but not for 5.5-9? One paragraph

Learning Log #6

What was the most confusing part of the beam-column homework? One paragraph

two paragraphs in one page , so three pages

Review the “Ethics in Action” scenario

Write a paper of not more than 1,050 words in which you answer the following questions:

Do you think that the creation and work of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has resulted in greater independence of auditors of public companies?
If auditing of financial statements is required primarily for the protection of public investors, should not all PCAOB members be taken from the investment community that uses audited financial statements?
What regulatory compliance requirements apply to various business situations?

Cite at least 5 peer-reviewed references.

Ethics in Action

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

One of the main features of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act (SOX) is the creation of an independent board that oversees the audits of public companies. Congress’s perception was that auditing firms were not sufficiently independent of the public companies they audited due in part to the audit firms’ receiving sizable nonaudit consulting fees from their audit clients. Thus, SOX created a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). Public accounting firms that audit financial statements of public companies are required to register with PCAOB and submit to its rules. The board is charged with adopting rules establishing auditing, quality control, ethics, and independence standards. It has the power to regulate the nonaudit services that audit firms may perform for their clients. The PCAOB has the power to inspect periodically public accounting firms and to issue reports of the results of the reviews. The purpose of inspections is to assess the degree of compliance with the requirements of SOX, professional auditing standards, and the rules of the PCAOB and the SEC in the performance of audits and the issuance of audit reports of public companies. In addition, the PCAOB may investigate and discipline audit firms and their partners and employees.

The PCAOB is not a federal agency, but a nonprofit corporation with broad regulatory power like the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a self-regulatory organization that regulates securities brokers and dealers. It has five members, only two of which may be CPAs. No board member may receive any share of profits or compensation from a public accounting firm.
