In your role as the new human resources manager, you plan to prepare a series of videos with various scenarios. These scenarios will allow the managers to view real-life diversity issues that they may have to address. The first one you plan to create will involve potential gender discrimination.

You are asking one of your male managers and one of your female managers to help create the video. In this scenario, the male manager acts as a male chauvinist and seems oblivious to the existence of gender discrimination, while the female has actually experienced it.

You want the video to specifically address the following 3 issues, to sensitize your managers to issues of gender discrimination:

• Find an example of a current event in the news that describes any positive outcome experience dealing with discrimination based on gender (one that ended up with what was perceived as a positive outcome to the female parties involved, or male parties involved).
• How was it addressed?
• If the responsible manager had not been aware of the Civil Rights Act or the gender sensitivity issues involved, how could he have handled it incorrectly?

Answer the questions, and describe how the two different managers may view the current example used in the training video differently.

he 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.

For your discussion board lab for Week 4, use an Internet search engine to research how Excel and be used in a business setting. You can also use the Excel site by clicking here to help get ideas. Look for information that interests you and that you did not already know about the business uses of Excel.

After your research is complete, come back to the Discussion Board and post 2–3 business uses for Excel. You must have at least 2 tips to share. You can post more tips, if you wish, later in your discussion.

In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.
