Identify Moral and Ethical Duties
This week, you will assume the role of an intern with the Sunstate County Sheriff’s Office. You have been assigned to patrol with Senior Officer Miller. You are patrolling the Pine Manor area, home to minorities and illegal immigrants. Recently, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers began to investigate crimes involving illegal immigrants in the Pine Manor area.
While driving on Main Street, Officer Miller recognizes a Hispanic male walking on the pedestrian walkway. He stops the patrol vehicle and talks to the man: “Hi Juan, haven’t you forgotten to make your payment this week? Remember Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are in the area.” The Hispanic man takes several hundred-dollar bills out of his wallet and hands the money to Officer Miller.
You ask Officer Miller about the purpose of the payment. Officer Miller states, “It is an agreement. Either the illegal immigrants pay me, or I will notify ICE about their whereabouts”.
You continue to patrol the neighborhood, and Officer Miller stops another Hispanic male walking on the street. He also asks him about his weekly payment. Jose responds that he does not have any money, and he had sent this week’s paycheck to Mexico for his family. Officer Miller exits the vehicle and arrests Jose Martinez.
On the transport to the jail, Jose asks for the charges, and Officer Miller stated that he would be arrested for possession of marijuana. Jose answered, “I do not possess or use drugs.” Officer Miller grabs an evidence bag with a green leafy substance from underneath the driver’s seat and shows it to Jose, “Here is the evidence.”
Officer Miller arrives at the jail and then books Jose Martinez for the false charges.
Assess the scenario, and then address the following:
• Identify the ethical issues associated with the officer’s behavior.
• Offer some alternatives to this behavior in your discussion.
• Explain what your ethical obligation is in this scenario.
• Determine the consequences of the officer’s behavior.
Third Order State Space System (2021-22)
The primitive structure of a third order system of ODE’s is defined by the block diagram of Fig. 1. Initial
conditions are zero, and the input, 𝑢, is a unit step.

Leadership Theories In Practice
A walk through the Business section of any bookstore or a quick Internet search on the topic will reveal a seemingly endless supply of writings on leadership. Formal research literature is also teeming with volumes on the subject.
However, your own observation and experiences may suggest these theories are not always so easily found in practice. Not that the potential isn’t there; current evidence suggests that leadership factors such as emotional intelligence and transformational leadership behaviors, for example, can be highly effective for leading nurses and organizations.
Yet, how well are these theories put to practice? In this Discussion, you will examine formal leadership theories. You will compare these theories to behaviors you have observed firsthand and discuss their effectiveness in impacting your organization.
To Prepare:
· Review the Resources and examine the leadership theories and behaviors introduced.
Resource: Broome, M., & Marshall, E. S. (2021). Transformational leadership in nursing: From expert clinician to influential leader (3rd ed.). New York, NY: Springer.
· Identify three scholarly resources, in addition, to evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
· Reflect on the leadership behaviors that you selected for review.
Assignment
Post two key insights you had from the scholarly resources you selected. Describe a leader whom you have seen use such behaviors and skills, or a situation where you have seen these behaviors and skills used in practice. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain to what extent these skills were effective and how their practice impacted the workplace.

Strategic Management Value
Reply to two prompts in 100 words each. No sites needed, these are just thoughts on the prompts.
(Original prompt for you consideration,
Discuss the difference between economic value and social value or the shared value creation framework.
Why do you think organizations tend to focus on the creation of one type of value but not both? )
Prompt 1: Economic value is the difference between the amount in which someone will pay for a product and the cost to produce the product. This number can change based on the cost of production versus the the demand for the product. While economic value focuses on the financial side, social value deals with societal needs. I think that in a perfect world, a company would focus on economic value and social value equally. But since businesses need capital to survive and grow, they tend to focus on the economic value. However, as companies grow, they tend to have an effect on the workings around them. This is where the social value begins to grow. Larger companies need to worry about their social standing (or value). They will have an effect on the society they reside.
Prompt 2: The definition for economic value is stated to be, “the value that person places on an economic good based on the benefit that they derive from the good”. Social value is stated to be, “the quantification of the relative importance that people place on the changes they experience in their lives”. From these definitions, I would argue that the difference between economic value and social value is economic value is viewed from the perspective of a person on how a product would benefit the economy or grow the economy. While social value is viewed from the perspective value of an individual’s life, meaning how a product or service could benefit them personally.
For a company to focus on both economic value and social value, a possible conflict could occur. Not everything that is beneficial to the economy is beneficial to an individual person. I would ask, how could focusing on both values benefit a company? Maybe in the long term focusing on the economic value could benefit the social value, but it could not happen right away.
