ASSIGNMENT: A REFLECTION - WORK & SOCIETY ACTION

PART ONE

Reflection Paper ACTION #3 Objective: Understand your orientation toward time as it is discussed in your reading and assess how you can achieve greater balance among the different types of time.

Reflect on the questions below and write your response.

• Discuss whether your job is more task-structured or time-structured and provide illustrations. What about your personality or temperament is suited toward each orientation and what coping mechanisms might you use if there is not a good fit between your nature and your job regarding time orientation?

• Consider whether you can increase your leisure time by selecting any of the following elements or choose some of your own methods: 1) learning to say "no", 2) reducing overscheduling of yourself and/or those for which you are responsible, 3) unplugging digitally from work.

What preparation and practical steps do you need to pursue to make this a reality?

Instructions: 1. Describe your organization in paragraph format in 1500-2000 words.

Answer each bullet point above.

2. Use subheadings. There should be a centered subheadingfor each bullet point listed above (e.g. Job Structure, Leisure, etc.). This helps ensure that you address each required item and shows me that you covered them all.

3. Format using double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font.

4. Submit this as a Word document by the due date posted in your syllabus.

5. Please remember to follow the rules of academic integrity as every paper is automatically submitted to Turnitin.com when it is submitted to Drop Box.

PART TWO

Watch the video found at this link: https://youtu.be/hK8nFTKfxrU

In your first post, state whether you agree or disagree with the advice given and explain why. Give at least one illustration or example that supports your position, after viewing the video, please elaborate on how to have a good relationship with your boss and why it's important?

Your response to at least one classmate should expand the discussion in a new way, offer support where you provide additional illustration from your point of view, ask a probing question, provide a counter argument that is illuminating, etc. Simply stating that you agree or disagree with another does not meet the assignment requirement for discussions in this course. Excellent posts will include concepts and/or terminology from this week's reading assignment.

Remember that respect, civility and common courtesy characterize our discussions in this course.
