In Chapter 13, LaFollette (2007) discusses five factors that enhance our moral thought and whose absence constrains it. He divides these factors into three groups: knowledge of the context, psychological factors, and interpreting others’ behaviors.
In the course scenario, the following was stated: The CEO has hired you as an external organizational development consultant to help him identify problem areas and to understand where changes should be made within the company. Over the next few weeks, you will also be working with the CEO and managers in all four divisions of the company to help establish these changes. Your various responsibilities will also include talking with employees at each level of the company to get a better understanding about underlying problems.So far, you are seeing inconsistencies in leadership practices in each of the departments, and you are concerned that while the company is trying to improve its communication protocol, the different leadership styles may be creating confusion. For example, when you talked to one of the production employees, Sonja Diaz, she explained that she had many ideas for helping to streamline the production process, but feels she cannot share them because of the transactional leadership. In the marketing department, one sales rep, Jerry McVie, felt that he was not being challenged with his current goals and is even considering leaving the company to join one of the competitors. Lack of communication between the divisional leaders might also be the cause of conflict between the departments because they operate in silos. This separation between divisions may also be having a negative effect on middle management staffing issues.Your meetings with managers on conflict resolution are going well. You and Jared the CEO meet after he gets back from his business trip to finish your discussion about leadership styles.Your CEO Jared says, “Maybe we should talk to the vice presidents and managers about leadership styles. “I was hoping you’d say that,” you say. “I’ll have a presentation that defines a minimum of 4 leadership styles, and then compares and contrasts a minimum of 4 leadership styles in order to discuss strengths/weaknesses and pros/cons of one leadership style over another. Please have this ready for meetings next week. T
Different areas within organizations work together to achieve organizational goals. These areas are often referred to as functional areas and typically include:Human Resources.Sales and Marketing.Information Technology.Production and Operations.Finance and Accounting.Suppose leadership in the organization where you currently work (or have worked) is considering changes to organizational structure—in particular, to the functional areas it currently has. Before making any changes, the leaders have asked several managers, including you, to develop a white paper that outlines the manager’s recommendations for three functional areas that he or she believes to be essential to the success of the company. Based on the recommendations of each manager, as well as the strength of each manager’s arguments and supporting references, leadership will make final decisions.InstructionsBased on the scenario above, select the three functional areas that you believe to be essential to the success of the organization. For each functional area, describe the primary purpose of the area and explain how that purpose works to promote and support the organizational goals.Based on the scenario above, use the Week 6 Assignment Template [DOCX] to develop a white paper with the following sections.Title page.Introduction.Explain the type of organization the assessment is based on and its primary goals.Identify the three functional areas you believe are essential to the organizational structure.Functional Area 1.Explain the primary purpose of the functional area of an organization and why it is essential in supporting the overall organizational structure.Explain how the purpose of the functional area supports the organizational goals in terms of continued organizational success.Functional Area 2.Explain the primary purpose of the functional area of an organization and why it is essential in supporting the overall organizational structure.Explain how the purpose of the functional area supports the organizational goals in terms of continued organizational success.Functional Area 3.Explain the primary purpose of the functional area of an organization and why it is essential in supporting the overall organizational structure.Explain how the purpose of the functional area supports the organizational goals in terms of continued organizational success.Recommended Organizational Structure.Describe the type of organizational structure best suited for the functional areas you selected, and justify your recommendation.Conclusion.Explain how your recommendation will promote continued success of organizational goals.
Compose a paper of 1,000 words covering the issue of eating animals. Share your perspective on what we eat and the moral issues of eating animals.

(Modern farming and livestock raising methods are unsustainable and not healthy for us or the animals.) Take a stand and provide research that supports your position.
