Student Name Course Date The Mule Bone This play depicts the life of African Americans, especially those living in rural areas. Written by Hughes and Hurston in 1930 during the economic crisis era, this play draws the folklore and oral tradition of the Southern Blacks (Gates Jr. 1). As such, the play employs a verbal one-upmanship element of “mule-talking.” The drama starts on a Saturday in Eatonville, Florida, where Dave and Jim fight for Daisy’s (a sexy and self-cautious home servant) love. Jim is arrested and tried at Joe Clarke’s barn for knocking Dave using a hock bone of mule. Although Jim admits that he hit Dave, he claims that it was not a crime while saying that one must use a weapon in a crime, but a mule‘s bone is not a weapon. However, Joe Clarke finds Jim guilty of a felony and expels him from the town for two years. Notably, the players engage in friendly talks while being sarcastic at other times. One of the most exciting scenes is when Teet and Walter argue about Teet’s letter…

Student’s Initial Post-Effective Conflict Resolution Response to Ning Ivy Sun’s posting Employees in the workplace have different personalities, opinions, and goals; hence, disagreements in the workplace are inevitable. The good news is that conflict doesn’t have to damage business. The reason is that Kimberly A. Benjamin’s six steps of conflict resolution can be used to resolve disputes whenever they happen. The first step is to explain the conflict. The main idea of this step is to allow the conflicting parties to give details on the argument while agreeing on what the dispute is (Benjamin, 2019)To get the information needed in questions such as “How and when did the incident start?” can be asked. The second step establishes a common goal for both parties. Once all the information has been gathered, both parties need to decide on what they see as their possible solution (Kaslow, Grus, Campbell, Fouad, Hatcher & Rodolfa, 2009). If they get to agree on a common goal, then they are most likely to achieve the goal. The third is discussing ways to meet the goal. To reach…

Weekly Reading Research Analytical Exercise William Concowich views Boeing’s crisis response as inadequate. Two of Boeing’s planes were involved in devastating accidents that left all passengers onboard dead. However, instead of Boeing acting quickly to ground the aircraft, the company insisted that its planes were safe. Even after the accidents, Boeing took no action. The action was taken to ground the aircraft only after the US federal aviation agency ordered the planes grounded some days after the accident happened, seemingly due to public pressure. Concowich argues that Boeing could have managed the situation more effectively and efficiently if it had acted voluntarily and proactively to ground the planes immediately the first crash occurred.  Although the crisis came due to the plane crashes, the company could have avoided the crisis by containing the situation in a better way. Boeing could have addressed the problem it was facing publicly and change how the problem was viewed by the public and other concerned parties such as its customers. Framing the situation in a better response could have triggered immediate action. Boeing’s response to…
