Two replies or critical comments to other students’ postings. These replies should have a minimum of 150 words each. Read each student posting and provide a critical comment for each one.  Student 1A sociologist’s point of view on race states that it’s a social construction, because of people in society connecting physical traits and physical differences amongst people. People assume a certain perspective of someone, based on their skin tone, features, air and make assumptions about their background and religion. The movie ‘ Is Race Real’ reflects on the topic of ‘hierarchy’. ‘Hierarchy is a system in which people or groups are ranked one above the other, according to dictionary.com. The example of the hierarchy being used in this movie is stating how some people believe ‘one racial kind is better than other racial kinds’. The cause of hierarchy causes the conflict between races, leading to violence. The man mentions the fact that racism causes the violence, and history repeats itself. Something tragic would happen, disappear, and appear again. In the movie ‘ Racism: What to do’? focuses on young kids and their opinions on certain subjects that have to do with ‘racism’. A girl mentions the fact of her little brother playing in the park with another boy, of a different race and the boy’s mother picked him up and gave the girl’s little brother a dirty look. Another girl mentions the fact that a boy and his family looks different from her and her family but she didn’t care and that was still her friend. While another girl mentioned that she doesn’t have a problem with interracial marriage and that she think her parents wouldn’t mind if she had dated someone of another race and religion. But she feels if she were to marry them, her parents wouldn’t be happiest. After watching both films, I had many observations and perspectives about each. For the movie ‘ Is Race Real’? my observation was that this film focuses on African American men, who were speaking and defending African American people, especially the men. It focused on the fact, racism does indeed exist then and it does now. My perspective after watching the film was that the men didn’t necessarily talk about the concept of slavery, but I believe the concept of slavery was the main focus because it showed videos of black men getting arrested and beaten. Also, it stated how history is repeating itself when it comes to racism amongst African Americans especially. For the film ‘Racism, What to Do?’ , my observations were that it focused on a child’s point of view, there were only young girls speaking on their opinions about racism, and a majority of them were white. After watching the film, and hearing the young girl’s opinions, I came to the conclusion that majority of the time, it isn’t the child’s fault of how they think and act towards other children or people in general, that is a different race from them. It is usually their parents or family fault, because of how they told/ taught them how to think and act towards people of different races. I also kept in mind that there are some children that look pass the racial difference, and learn to act and think of others with a different race, no matter how they were raised. I noticed that because one of the girls in the video mentioned that she noticed her friend was a different color from her and her family, but it didn’t matter to her. As for the articles,’Growing Up, Growing Apart it focuses on three young girls who are different races and have a different religion, but see past that and be close friends. Although these young girls looked past their racial differences, others didn’t feel the same way. One of the girls had a party and invited people of different races that didn’t socialize with each other. ‘ Johanna had invited all her friends. white and black. But the mixing didn’t go as she wished.The black kids stayed down in the basement and danced and the white kids went outside on the stoop and talked’. (Lewin, PG1). As for the other article ‘Best of Friends, Worlds Apart’ this article has a similarity that quickly turns into a difference compared to the other article ‘Growing Up, Growing Apart’. This article focuses on two men. Joel Ruiz who is black and Achmed Valdez who is white. They were best friends who always loved playing soccer together and as they get older things changed. Both of them eventually adapt to their own race and began to discriminate in racial differences. Ruiz surrounds himself in black-owned business, people, and women. He also made the comment that ‘White barbers don’t understand black hair’. As for Valdes, he surrounds himself in all-white neighborhoods, hang out with white Cubans and he doesn’t go to black neighborhoods unless his job requires him to. My perspective from both films and articles is that some people look past racial differences and see a person from deep within and some people just look at a person’s racial difference and doesn;t want to know them for the inside instead of the outside, and only make assumptions on which leads to racism .   Student 2In the short film “Racism: What to do?”, it’s has kids of different races and backgrounds that gives their insight to some questions that were asked to them. The film expresses that race is thought based on how people react to each other. One girl mentioned that her brother was playing with a Hasidic Jewish kid in a park and the mother of the Jewish kid came and  grabbed him away from playing with her brother. As stated in chapter one of the textbook religion is not something that is biologically instilled in us as humans it is something that is thought, the mother of the Hasidic Jewish background just showed her son a lesson that playing with others that are not of the same cultural background or not similar to him he should not play or be among them. The other child that was their although he might have been a pasty of what is considered the dominant group he also knows not to accept or play with others now because of what that mothers actions. Also in chapter one it’s stated that members of the dominant is unwilling to marry outside of their group, as stated by another young lady in this film “ her parents wouldn’t mind if she dated outside of her race however she knows that her parents wouldn’t be happy if she married someone that is not of the same race”. As shown in the textbook as well many people might not verbally state that they are against the other race but something her parents did makes her know that it wouldn’t be approved by them to marry out of her racial group. I believe that race is something that people pick up from other people, family, and friends and it can be controlled based on how much it is enforced by the people around you. One of the other students has a friend that she is aware that their family looks different and is different from her family but that does not bother her that individual is her friend no matter what is the difference between them. This film showed different kids with different points of views based on how they were raised and what they were thought weather by family or outside people.Race: The Power of an Illusion episode one, this film enforces that race is not a biological thing it is something that is socially developed. Based on the many Anthropologists that was featured in this film  there is nothing shown in our DNA that makes us significantly different from another person. When the students in the science class tested their DNA and told us that they think their DNA would be more similar to the person who they shared the same skin color with or who they had some similar features like hair and eyes. When the test was complete one student which was white his DNA matched someone in Iceland and someone in Africa. Although this same white male who had a DNA similarity to someone in Africa he was asked if he would change his skin color, his reply was no. He wouldn’t change his skin color because he feels that it is a privilege to have his skin color. The privilege that he refers to is known as “White Privilege” as described in chapter two page 66, white privilege are rights and immunities that you are given just because you are white. One privilege that they are granted which is shown when going into certain department stores or restaurants is that they are always financially reliable when using checks, credit cards, and cash. Also started in this film is that there is no gene that makes someone better at something than another person, if there was a gene it would consists of multiple other genes that can influence this trait and scientists have yet to come across that discovery. Not only do they think that a gene is involved if an African American is achieving at a sport as stated by the white male he thinks that the black males can beat home because they are bigger than him. Jesse Owens was a famous black track athlete who was thought to be only a successful because he was closer to the primitive, the primitive being a monkey. In both these films along with the text but you see that race is socially developed and racism can set people back from achieving things that might be more common in another group of achievement. However if the opportunity is given to people of different races and they set they mind to it I believe that anyone of any race can achieve and activity weather dominant in one group or not.In the article “Best Friends Worlds Apart” by Mirta Ojito, raises the question how can these people be best friends but are living in two different worlds?. You have two Cuban men in this article that grew up together in Cuba the only thing different about them was that one was of darker skin being considered black and one of lighter skin being considered white. While in Cuba they had no racial difference that would’ve segregated them in Cuba being that everyone was just considered a Cuban. After their migration to Miami Florida that’s where they both noticed that they are different from each other. Being that Ruiz was Cuban he was black and when arrived to Miami he was treated like a black male of America, he was placed to live in what we know as the ghetto and was underprivileged.  Valdes who was Cuban as well however was white was not underprivileged and lived like a white person does in America, he had access to many things and was given greater opportunity than his friend. They both went through the same process to come to America but was treated and granted different things when arrived. In chapter 2 table 1.2 Miami/ Miami Beach was 73% segregation of blacks and whites. Did the move to America change the way each other viewed them self and each other? Yes, Ruiz adapted to his limited opportunities and became accustom to what he was now considered a black man he his his Cuban culture and adapted a fully black culture. Valdes adapted to his opportunities that were granted to him and also looked at his friend as a black person now. Being stereotyped can set limits upon someone and deprive them of equal opportunities.Is it really a racial segregation or just kids leaning more to the people that they share more in common with? In this article “Growing up, Growing apart” by Tamar Lewin, it’s about a group of kids going to a multiracial school that they are friends with many kids of different races. As time goes by the same kids that used to hang out with each other begin to hang out with kids that share more in common with them and some happen to be kids that share the same racial background as them. Making racial comments like your acting white or acting black this is where I believe it becomes a racial stereotypical segregation among these kids, it should not be this way people should be able to hang out with who they want to and not be judged. The world we live in consists of many people from different racial backgrounds, people should not be put in groups or categorized based on physical characteristics. As seen in the videos and articles it has happened and although proven by many scientists that we are not different. People of these many different races and hit with racism, stereotyped, and the segregated. We are all human and if we are being treated differently it should be based on what we do as a individual.

I’m willing to pay someone $30.00 to do this assignment for me. Thank you in advance! Your manager could not be happier with the help you’ve provided to all of those departments requesting Excel assistance within the resort. He is now very confident handing over complex tasks to your capable hands. This week he is requesting that you exercise some expert skills. It seems he has some data that needs to be imported and cleaned up so that it is useful to the resort. He has quite a list of tasks he needs done with this data. Once the data are presentable, the analysis needs to be summarized in a short memo and placed on the last sheet in the workbook.Additionally, your manager has also heard that macros can be added to a worksheet. He wants to make the X Games calculator even more efficient and foolproof for all those using it.Just like traversing a double black diamond slope, you have the Excel knowledge to maneuver all of these tasks with excellence. This lab is for experts only.DeliverablesNOTESubmit your assignment to the Dropbox, located at the top of this page.

Open the starting Excel file and navigate to Sheet1.Import the text file by using the Get External Data function on the Data Ribbon. When the Text Import Wizard displays, select My Data has headers and use a comma delimiter to organize the data.Insert a new column in between A and B and use the Text to Columns command to separate first and last name. Be sure to revise or add appropriate column names.Insert a column to the right of the HOME ADDRESS column and use a function to capitalize just the first letter in the address names. Then hide the original Address column.Insert two new columns in between City State Zip and the Unit column, and then use Text to Columns to separate these fields. Adjust column widths appropriately.On the right of the Agent column, add a column and use the Substitute function to replace ‘JG’ with ‘Jesse Gonzales,’ and then hide the original Agent column and display the full name.Add statistics to add up all sales, and then apply a 7% commission to calculate the Gonzales commission.Change the sheet name to Gonzales.Under Page Layout, select Themes and choose a business-like theme and possibly a color combination to apply professional formatting and column widths to all of this data using the image below as a guide.Cleaned Up ImportStep 2: Create the Macro in the X Games Ticket CalculatorIn this section, we will actually build a macro. A macro is simply a recording of every keystroke you perform while the Macro Recorder is turned on. You are quite simply automating keystrokes and building efficiency into your Excel file.Select the X Game Calc sheet.In order to have the Macro Tools available to you, you must have the Developer Tools. If you do not see the Developer Tab, click the File and select Options.Locate the Developer checkbox option in the Custom Ribbon tab in the Options menu, make sure it is checked, and then click OK.DeveloperYou will need to set the Macro Security level in order to develop Macro code. From the Developer Tab, click on Macro Security in the Code group. Check the Enable all macros and then click OK.Enable All MacrosRemember, a macro records every keystroke you perform while the Macro Recorder is turned on. For this Macro, we will clear the values from the ticket type and ticket quantity cells in our X Game Calculator sheet. We will turn on the Macro Recorder, delete the data in Cells E4 and E6, and then turn the Macro Recorder off.Click the Record Macro button from the Developer Tab, Code group. The Macro Recorder dialog window will open.Macro Name: Provide a user-friendly name for this recording such as CalcWipe. Note: Do not use spaces in the name.Shortcut key: Designate a shortcut key the user can press to start the macro. Try using the letter w as your shortcut key. Note: Avoid using a shortcut commonly used in Windows applications, such as CTRL-C or CTRL-P. The macro shortcut will overwrite the Windows shortcut and your users will not understand why the key combination is not copying or pasting.Store: Store the macro in this Workbook. Note: It can be stored in the Personal Macro Workbook so it can be used by other applications. Macros for common actions such as printing a workbook can be stored in the personal workbook, but they will only be available on the computer on which they are stored.Description: Provide an explanation of the functionality of the macro. Use something such as Clear input cells for X Game Calculator. See image below.Record MacroWhen you click OK, the Macro Recording begins. Select Cell E4, press the Delete key, and then select Cell E6 and press the Delete key.Then turn the Macro Recorder off by clicking the Stop Recording button from the Macro group.Step 3: View the Macro and Assign a Macro Button in the X Games Calculator SheetBehind the scenes, Excel has written a little Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) program, which you may access by clicking the Macros command.  Select the Macro you just created, and then click the Edit button.Macro NameVBA will open with your code.VBA Code TranscriptIn later courses, you may learn more about programming; however, you can follow the code and see how it instructs Excel to select a range and clear its contents. Click the X in the top-right corner of this MS VBA screen to close macro editing and return to the Excel file.Begin to add a macro button to make it easy for users to run this code. Add a Button Shape to your application using the Insert Tab, Shapes.Add a Button ShapeDraw the shape onto the application, using your mouse or drawing tool.Draw the ShapeAdd a text description to the button: ‘Clear calculator values!’Associate this button with the macro. Right-click on the shape and select Assign Macro from the menu.Associate Button With MacroSelect CalcWipe and click OK to assign the macro to the button.To prepare to test the macro, provide input into cells E4 and E6 by selecting a ticket type in cell E4 and enter a quantity in cell E6 for starting values. Then test your macro by simply clicking the button. Did it clear the contents of your input cells? If yes, congratulations on creating your first macro. If no, please return to Step 2, Part E to build the macro again.Step 4: Save the Macro-Enabled File and Turn on Protection in the X Games Calculator SheetYou will need to save this file as a macro-enabled workbook. Click the File tab and select Save As.Select Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook, which is also the .xlsm file type.By default, all cells in a worksheet are locked. This means that when the worksheet is protected, the users will not be able to enter or change data in those cells. We will protect the worksheet, but first we must unlock the user input cells.

OD is normally a constant diagnosis that involves planning, execution, and evaluation aimed at transferring knowledge and proficiency to organizations. This is aimed to improve the capability of the organization to solve the problem and manage future change. OD has been used in many organization processes that experience difficulty. It is imperative to note, change is inevitable in an organization set up, and therefore the management must be prepared to devise a way through which such process might be efficiently done. Organizational development can be the best option when used in building a team that works. The following is a discussion on how organizational development can be a powerful tool to be used in dealing with employee’s poor morale in a healthcare institution (Burke, 2015).The health industry is one of the most imperative sectors in any society due to the high level of expertise and demand for the service. It is, therefore, important for the employees in this institution to have a good morale at their place of work. In this case, are not at their best due to the difficult relations with doctors (Burke, 2015).The existing problem in the most hospital is that the morale of the nurses is generally low. More importantly, there is a poor relation between nurses and doctors. Nurses have been complaining of doctors who demean them by shouting at them. Consequently, the arrogant doctors are always blamed for the general poor morale in the hospital (Burke, 2015). Due to all these poor relationships between doctors and nurses, the spirit of teamwork becomes a nightmare. This is because every party feels their welfare are not well taken care of. Moreover, in an environment where the spirit of teamwork has died off, the overall performance of the employees at work goes down, and it even becomes harder for the organization to improve in future as they cannot work towards a common goal. The end result is that the patients become the victim because services rendered to them are usually substandard. In some instance, this can pose a great threat to the patient due to miscommunication between the doctors and nurses. It should be noted that, for a patient to receive quality healthcare, the doctors and nurses need to work hand in hand (Cummings, & Worley, 2014).If the poor relationship between doctors and nurses persist, doctors normally prefer to render their services elsewhere and make it difficult for the management to handle this crisis. It even gets worse when the same doctors start offering their services to competing for a healthcare facility. At this point, it is always the best if the management steps in and handles this issue before it gets out of hand. This can be done by looking for expertise to help them resolve these internal squabbles that undermine the spirit of teamwork in hospitals. The expert in this case mainly focuses on the way the spirit of teamwork can be addressed to ensure employees work together for the benefit of the organization (Cummings, & Worley, 2014).The management must organize for a team building exercise for like three days for the employees in the hospital. It is important for the objective of the team building to be clear for it to be meaningful. In this case, the objective of the workshop will be “To help team members maintain good working relationships and develop a common focus on how to work as a team to improve their performance in the next 1 month”. In this case, the workshop is the most effective and can act as a team building exercise for the employees of the organization. The employees must be notified with an internal memo or any other effective communication system in advance. In this case, an expert must be called upon to oversee the process (Burke, 2015).In this case, the tool chosen for the intervention must be able to build trust. Every nurse and doctors must be given time to air their frustrations in a manner that they can be heard. However, it must be done cautiously to ensure it does not turn out to be a session of negative exchange. Additionally, the tool for the intervention must make doctors realize that the current crisis at the hospital is not because of them. The nurses must also be made to stop the habit of putting all the blame to the doctors (Cheung, & Holbeche, 2015).More importantly, the tool must help the management to identify core changes that can be made to accomplish the future they aspired for. This process will be more successfully if the managers of the hospital are also helped to identify key projects that will be beneficial. Lastly, the employees must be made to develop a common focus that can help them work for the future (Cheung, & Holbeche, 2015).It is imperative to note that, team building activities are normally designed like recipes. They usually produce a more detailed workshop activity to accomplish specific workshop goals. In this case, a card chosen must be able to create a vision in a way that creates positive energy and fun. The organizational development DesignThe puzzle kit can be used because it allows the employees to do the complex thinking needed for them to solve their own issues or problems in a more participative and practical way. The members of the organization; managers, doctors, and nurses can be divided into groups of equal numbers. The groups must be mixed so that at least in each group there is a manager, doctor, and nurse. Each and every group will have its change puzzle to work with ( Houstons & McIntire, 2016).The system thinking photography of the health center facility will be used. The strength and its frustrations will be included in this process. The “organization of today chart” will be use in that particular undertaking. In this case, the employees will be asked to write in their respective charts how they perceive their company regarding each OD element or puzzle piece. Clues vision in this process. Each individual is always encouraged to independently write their own view on the way they perceive the hospital. It will not be a surprise when it suddenly occurs that most of them share similar comments (Smither, Houstons & McIntire, 2016).More so, a right brained exercise can also be done to foresee how the hospital would be in 3 years. The “ideal organization of the future charts” will be used in this process. The employees will be asked to write in their cards what they think must be done or put in place so that their vison about the organization can be a reality. Expectedly, the participants will write down exactly opposite of what they wrote in the chart of the current status of the organization. This exercise is important as it will help the team members to focus and think critically how their performance can either directly or indirectly affect the future of the organization. It will not be a surprise to realize that most of their positive ideas about the future will be similar. As expected this makes them connect as they will realize that they share same dreams and aspirations (Cummings, & Worley, 2014).Finally, a comparison of the results from the two charts will be made. From the results, few core changes will be chosen. These changes will be important in helping to solve the current problems and move the organization towards the desired future. Projects will also be created to undertake the changes (Cummings, & Worley, 2014). Conclusion It is clear from the diagnosis that the poor relationship between nurses and doctors is the cause of many problems in the hospital. This problem worsens when both of them do not cooperate in the line of work. Expectedly, this undermines the teamwork spirit in the organization. To correct this mess, an effective organizational development intervention must be used. In this case, team building can be used, where employees are involved in an interesting activity which is fun but in the end the viable solutions for the problems can retrieve. The use of Change Puzzle Kit can be instrumental when used as an Organizational development intervention. The kit makes the process to be fun and thus generates new ideas for the organization to emulate. Results collected are used to make core changes for the improvement of the future.                                                               ReferencesBaskerville R.L & Wood Harper.
