Journal
You have just been elected sheriff of your county. You need to evaluate your agency’s policies and specific units to determine the best way to employ your resources and personnel. In your county, you have two major Interstate roads, and your county borders another country. Explain how you would structure a narcotics unit and the unit’s primary mission, including staffing and what type of funding you would provide to this unit. Base your response on this unit’s readings, Discussion Board, and Seminar. This should be provided in 300–500 words
Gender and communication
Your Discussion Topic is:
Overview:
Communicators must avoid gender-bias and all other forms of bias in all documents they write. And they must also be aware that our language is constantly changing. What was acceptable last week may not be acceptable today.
For this exercise, read two online articles about gender-neutral writing. Even though these articles focus on gender, their message can be extended to all bias in writing. When finished reading the articles, answer related questions.
Editing for Gender Neutrality
Why Bother With Gender-Neutral Writing?
These articles can provide a basis for a classroom discussion about “politically correct” language. Discuss words that are politically correct and incorrect and changes that have occurred over the past few years (or months).
In your own thread, labeled with your name in the subject line, answer ONE of the following questions:
1.Why is it so important to recognize and respect change in the meaning and acceptability of words?
2.According to one of the articles, what should the goal of gender-neutral writing be? What is meant by this?
3.Why is “gender-neutral writing” a better term than “nonsexist writing”?
4.How do you think you can best keep up with what language is considered appropriate?
Please complete the following:
•Review the Discussion Board Rubric (including referencing your BCom textbook within the actual content of the post as well as a full APA reference at the conclusion of the post in a reference section), COM Recommended Deductions for Grammatical Errors, and COM 320 Written Deliverables Expectations on the syllabus.
•Make sure you follow the guidelines in the rubric, including at least two relevant citations from your BCOM textbook and providing properly formatted APA references at the bottom of your initial posting for both BCOM and the article you referenced.
•Reply to two of your classmates’ postings. Comment as you would in a face-to-face setting. Compliment your classmates or share similarities or differences.
•Participate in the discussion board on three different days during the week.
Assignment 9-1
Federal and State Drug Statutes PowerPoint
For this Assignment, you will be interviewing a law enforcement officer involved in drug law enforcement and creating a minimum 15-slide PowerPoint presentation (not including the cover and reference slides) covering federal and state statutes for drug trafficking.
Before your interview, research and identify both federal statutes and your state statutes that deal with drug trafficking and have examples of the crimes and punishments that relate to cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana.
Then, identify a local, state or federal law enforcement officer whose primary duty is drug law enforcement and ask questions related to whether or not your researched statutes are effective in terms of law enforcement efforts to decrease drug trafficking. Questions should include specific aspects of drug law enforcement in which the officer is engaged and any jurisdictional or cooperation issues the officer has encountered in enforcing the drug statutes.
Directions
- Your 15-slide requirement is excluding your introduction and reference slides.
- Use one basic slide design and layout.
- Limit slides to between 6 and 8 lines of content.
- You may use pictures, charts and graphs to supplement your material as long as they do not take up the entire slide
- Use bullets for your main points.
- Use speaker notes to fully explain what is being discussed in the bullet points as though you are presenting to an audience.
