For this week’s assignment, you will write a 300-word minimum essay about criminal omission. Be sure to address all prompts and cite your sources in APA format. This is worth 100 points, so be thorough and give your best effort.

Both omissions are criminal omissions only if defendants had a legal duty to act, even if there is no actus reus requirement.

In your essay, please address the following:

    • Define, compare, and contrast the “Good Samaritan” rule and the American bystander rule.
    • Which rule is dominant in the United States?
    • Which rule is best?

Explain how your personality traits and knowledge of where you are in The Big Five Personality Test can help or hinder you in being an effective leader.

Leadership Self-Assessment
Leadership style can be defined in several different ways. One expert might suggest 10 different styles, while another may highlight three major styles. Any given leader is likely to have more than one style depending on the situation and the followers involved. Your course text covers three interpersonal styles that can influence the way you lead: directive, participative, and free rein. Such interpersonal styles can vary by culture in that certain cultures tend to produce leaders that have more of one style than another because of the nature and values of the particular culture.
In addition to culture, your leadership style also is influenced by your personality. The Big Five Personality Traits is a psychological model that helps explain different dimensions of personality. Thinking back to last week’s Discussion about nature vs. nurture, these traits are influenced by both heredity and the environment. Two traits, neuroticism and extraversion, are more influenced by heredity than the others. In order to understand leadership effectiveness, it valuable to consider a wide variety of interpersonal styles, leadership styles, and personality traits.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review Chapter 3 in your course text, The Art of Leadership. Pay particular attention to the discussion of styles of leading.

Compare and contrast the two documents to analyze specific differences in writing style, content, audience, and purpose.

WRTG 293 is an interesting course because the learning outcomes focus on two types of professional writing — workplace and academic. In this class, we make the connection by having you write a Research Paper about a workplace topic.

Although the topic is workplace related, you have the opportunity to review APA because in our workplace scenario, the recipient of the workplace report wants the employee to format it according to the APA guidelines because the recipient is enrolled in an MBA course and must publish an article in the APA format. This is a logical scenario.

APA is one difference between workplace and academic writing, but let’s analyze some other differences now because next week we start working on the APA-formatted Research Paper. What are some differences between workplace and academic writing?

Complete the following steps:
Step 1: Think about the differences between workplace writing and academic writing.
Step 2: Find a one-paragraph sample of workplace writing from a textbook, a letter you received from an organization, a memo you found on the Internet, etc. Refrain from using samples from your own past or current jobs because you may violate a confidentiality agreement.

Step 3: Find a one-paragraph sample of academic writing from a textbook, an essay you wrote, a school report you found on the Internet, etc.
Step 4: Compare and contrast the two documents to analyze specific differences in writing style, content, audience, and purpose. Be concrete and specific and use at least one direct quote from each of the writing samples to illustrate differences between academic and workplace writing. Consider the stakeholders and their agendas when you analyze the writing samples. (Due Date: Thursday for the Original Post)
Step 5: Read the responses of the other students and respond to one person by Saturday. Try to respond to a post that has not been addressed or respond with a different perspective so that our discussion is not repetitive. (Due Date: Saturday for the Follow-Up Post)
