The company started in the owner’s garage two years ago and now has 15 employees that you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed.

White Paper

For this assignment, you are completing a white paper (a professional paper that compiles and summarizes present knowledge about an issue and proposes future action) on the topic you proposed in the Unit 4 assignment, Proposal. Your goal is to advocate that the fictional organization for which you are contracting use best practices to address an issue in adolescent psychology, based on recent, peer­-reviewed research in your chosen field (education, community service, government, and so forth). Your target audience is your work colleagues—educated laypeople who will understand your field but not necessarily have expertise in the area of adolescent psychology. Building on your initial proposal, describe in detail the current challenges that adolescents experience in relation to your chosen issue, how that issue impacts adolescent development, what current research has revealed about underlying causes and evidence­-based best practices when addressing the issue, and what subsequent solutions or best practices would be viable options for your organization to adopt in response to the issue. Your assignment must address the following:

  • Evaluate current research related to your chosen topic in adolescent development.
  • Evaluate the relationship between the literature and real-world practice in relation to your chosen topic in adolescent development.
  • Recommend best practices for positive adolescent development.
  • Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the psychological professions.
