Paper Topic: You are to synthesize the material you learned in this course to propose a mission to discover extrasolar life to the Global Organization for an Optimistic Future (GOOF). GOOF is willing to spend unlimited funds to be the first agency to find a non-terrestrial living organism of any kind. They will select the proposal that shows the most scientific evidence for finding life with the minimal amount of money and time. I. Introduction (~150 words) Give an overview of the mission your propose. II. Mission Location (~1000 words) Select a location (e.g., a moon or planet) other than Earth where you would propose to search for extraterrestrial life. Make a valid scientific argument on why you think this location is the most promising and practical place to search. III. Discover of Lifeforms (~1000 words) Describe the most likely lifeforms scientists think we will find on the extrasolar planet or moon you chose. Explain how this lifeform likely survives and thrives in the described location. Your explanation should include a description of its biological process (e.g. respiration, metabolism) and the sources of energy and other requirements and how these requirements are likely available in the location. IV. How Would We Find It (~ 250 words) Give a description of the mission or observational technique(s) you propose to accomplish the mission. IV. Conclusion (~150 words) A summary of your proposal. Criteria for a successful paper: A successful paper will be at least 2500 words and will follow the format above. It will include: A clear, accurate, and coherent scientific argument that uses scientifically valid information (from the Internet or journals) and many of the main concepts used in the course. Your paper should demonstrate your understanding of these concepts, not just the awareness of the terminology. A clear organization and correct grammar to provide a readable and intelligent paper. It should be easy and pleasurable to read. This must include an introduction, conclusion, and the mandatory headers to help make clarify your argument. Within this format, your paper should demonstrate individuality and creativity to show how you have digested and interpreted the information, and to show me it is your OWN work. Papers that read like a bunch of cut and paste text without any personality will be poorly graded. A complete and consistent set of citations and references in APA, IEEE, or similar academic format. I don’t care which format you use, but be consistent and thorough.

3-pages in APA format, no direct quote, 0% plagiarism, no Wikipedia or blog post, references should be academic journals, and 75% of the citations must be within the last 5 years. Read the attached and use the content to answer the following questions (4-5 paragraphs):- • Could Denny’s have managed its diversity issues better? Why or why not? • Why do you think Denny’s is facing continuing discrimination lawsuits? Do these lawsuits indicate that Denny’s policies and practices are not working? Are there other explanations? If you were a consultant, what would you advise the company to do at this point? • Jim Adamson stated that he would fire anyone who discriminated or challenged his new policies (to include zero tolerance). What message did this statement send to the employees? What impact do you think it had on employee morale and customer relations? • Was Jim Adamson effective in improving Denny’s diversity and public image? Why or why not? Further Analysis (2-3 paragraphs) Research Denny’s diversity management practices today using scholarly/peer-reviewed articles. • What is the current status? Any improvement on the racial and diversity issues? • Write 2 recommendations for better diversity management outcomes? Please note: Since a good rule is 2 to 3 paragraphs per page, there is no need to write a long intro paragraph; strictly follow instructions; use recent scholarly sources; be concise and straight-forward in your response. Also, don’t forget to write a conclusion. And remember, no direct quote! Reference: Barak, M. E. M. (2016). Managing diversity: Toward a globally inclusive workplace. Sage Publications.

Sustainability is most often defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

It has three main pillars: economic, environmental, and social. These three pillars are informally referred to as people, planet and profits. Socially conscious investors evaluate a company’s operations on 3 criteria: Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). You are helping investors to evaluate companies alignment with ESG practices (see link in questions 1).

Find an article or identify a website that pertains to a company engaging (not engaging) in these 3 sustainability practices. Include the link with your post. Please answer the following: 1. Based on the definition of ESG (see link below), what is the company doing (not doing) in regards to each of these 3 investment criteria?

Discuss all 3. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/environmental-social-and-governance-esg-criteria.asp 2. Discuss the specific benefits to each category (E, S, G) and stakeholders, including leaders and the brand image. 3.
