Conscription, better known as the draft, was re-established in 1948 and required the registration of every eligible young man who was 18 and over. The draft continued through war and peacetime up until its end with the Vietnam War when military service reverted to an all-volunteer. Please respond to your choices from the questions below using at least 250 words.
1. Were the United States to engage in a new military offense and the President re-instates the draft and your number is called, will you go to war? Would you volunteer for military service? How might serving in a war impact you or your family? Does considering the possibility of mandatory war service affect how you view war? If so, how?
2. Is serving in a military where you may be asked to fight in a war a moral or ethical obligation? When is it and when is it not? Does tradition have a role in military service and war? What is that role? Does myth?
3. What about veteran’s returning from war? How is the return and re-integration into society handled? How does their service and return potentially positively or negatively affect the rest of society?

Assessment details
This assessment requires you to look back on your learning and experiences in this course and provide a personal reflection of what you learned from the course and how you have both used and will use this learning in the future. It allows you to take a bird’s eye view of the complete course and all the activities that you performed and derive meaning from the entire experience.
A reflection paper is a personal, sometimes anecdotal, or experiential reaction to a subject, but you may include citations as in any other paper. However, we are more interested to learn about your thoughts and experiences rather than those of other people, so keep citations to a minimum. If you refer to a work or use ideas from a work, then cite them in text and include a reference list at the end.
Note: Back up all copies of drafts and your final assignment on a separate device (USB or similar) in case it is required as evidence. Computer failure is not an allowable ground for an extension or Special Consideration.
Feedback mode: Feedback will be provided using the Rubric provided on Canvas.
Essay Format and Suggestions
• Your essay must include a cover page that contains the following information: BUSM4550 Innovation Management; Date; Assessment 3: Reflective Essay; Essay title; Full name and student number; Tutor name; Word count (count excludes cover page and reference list).
Page 3 of 8
• Your essay must be professionally presented using Ariel or Calibri 12-point font, justified. Provide descriptive titles for different sections of your essay. Your essay must include an introduction, body paragraphs (provide appropriate titles), and a conclusion.
• Your essay in its entirety should answer the following overarching question, clearly and specifically: how did the course experience broaden, deepen, or otherwise enrich your understanding of the discipline of innovation management, yourself, and/or the wider world?
• Use a first-person narrative of your experience, highlighting key moments in the learning process. Tell the story of what you did and how, providing specific examples (e.g., reference to theories, frameworks, or tools covered in the course) to illustrate how your perspective/understanding evolved over the course of the semester.
• Reflect on the significance of your experiences with respect to your professional and/or personal goals. How can you apply what you learned in the future? In what situations?
• List all scholarly and non-scholarly work you have used in the essay in a Reference List. The reference list is not included in the word count. References should be in RMIT Harvard style (or Harvard style if using End note). The list should be in alphabetical order by family name. The list should not be listed by numbers or bullet points.
• The essay is to be written primarily for your own personal consumption and growth, but since it is a summative assessment, it must be done in a way that your assessor will be able to judge the value of this exercise to you and the potential impact it will have on your future career.
• Towards the beginning of the course, you were asked to rate yourself on a variety of factors related to creativity and innovation skills and abilities. Now, after having completed this course, you have another opportunity to rate yourself again on the same factors and gauge whether you have made progress in each of the specified factors. You may use the insights gained from this activity in your personal reflection essay.
• Aim to provide an honest and sincere reflection that demonstrates depth of thought, not simply a superficial exercise to get the job done. Don’t be tempted to write things that you believe your assessor might want to hear as that will be obvious as being insincere.
• When writing your reflection, you should refrain from providing explanations of theory or providing definitions of concepts that were covered in this course. Rather, simply refer to these and reflect on the encounter and impact it had on you.
• It is required that you apply the principles of D.I.E.P. framework https://emedia.rmit.edu.au/learninglab/sites/default/files/Writing_academic_reflec tion_accessible_2015.pdf in your reflection.
Page 4 of 8
The DIEP principles are:
In simple terms:
• Describe the topics and your journey; what you have learned (factual, objectively) • Interpret the net effect this experience has had on you – what insights emerged? • Evaluate your application of newfound knowledge (in your opinion, subjectively) • Plan how you will apply relevant model/theories etc. in your future work
Creativity Journal
To complete this assessment effectively, we recommend that you keep a ‘Creativity Journal’ starting from week 1 where you record at least once weekly instances in which you exercised creative problem solving in your life, university or while at work.
In doing so, remember to record the problem/task you faced, the creative solution you came up with to solve the problem/task and the process you went through to come up with the solution (e.g., engaged in divergent and convergent thinking, used design thinking, brainstormed ideas, etc.) and how your learning in the course helped you to come up with a creative solution. This journal will also help you to keep track of the development of your skills in creativity, innovation and design thinking and how you can further improve your creative problem-solving skills.
Please note that this journal will NOT be marked, but it will be an essential tool for you to reflect over the 12 weeks of semester.
Turnitin
• Assignments must be submitted through the CANVAS assessment submission system (Turnitin). Submitted assignments that do not have a similarity score will not be graded.
• Do NOT attempt to obtain a similarity score by first submitting it to TurnItIn via another course as this will result in you achieving a very high similarity score when you eventually submit your assignment for this course.
• Do NOT include the declaration form as part of your TurnItIn submission as that will incorrectly increase your similarity score.
• The Turnitin Similarity Percentage is an indicator of the similarity of your paper with other assignments. This link provides information on how to interpret the similarity report.
• Allow sufficient time for the TurnItIn system to reset before you make another attempt at obtaining a similarity score. Make sure you obtain your final similarity score well in advance of the assignment deadline in order to avoid a penalty for late submission.

Topic: What are the pros and cons from a staffing perspective that an organization will face if it chooses not to engage in HR planning and staff planning? Please provide a minimum of two outside academic sources (not including your textbook) to support your response.
Please watch the videohttps://youtu.be/0meqcKTAcMU , Write 4-5 sentences and help me to answer on the discussion question:
Should theWestboroBaptist Church be permitted to engage in this form of speech at such private and intimate moments for families that lost a loved one in combat?
You don’t necessarily have to agree with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court.
In the article, we learn that the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment protects groups that organize anti-gay protests outside military funerals. Recently, The Westboro Baptist Church based in Topeka, Kansas, received media attention for actively attending military funerals for U.S. soldiers that were killed in action in order to express their views.
The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is an independent Baptist church known for its extreme stance against homosexuality and its protest activities, which include picketing at funerals for fallen members of our military and desecrating the American flag. The church is described by many as a hate group. In addition to anti-gay protests at military funerals, the organization pickets other celebrity funerals that are likely to get it media attention.
As they have at hundreds of funerals, the Westboro members hold signs with provocative messages, including “Thank God for dead soldiers,” `’You’re Going to Hell,” `’God Hates the USA/Thank God for 9/11,” and one that combined the U.S. Marine Corps motto, Semper Fi, with a slur against gay men.
2. Please write 2-3 sentences as a response on two following discussions:
1. This video left me speechless, can’t believe how brainwashed these people are. I am obviously against their message, but unfortunately, I do believe they have the right to spread their dirt. They are practicing their “freedom of speech” which allows them to express their opinion. If we silence these ignorant people, we will also silence all other minorities. This would prevent the LGBTQ community and other groups from getting their civil rights.
2. This is disgusting. I am baffled that these people think this is ok. They are disrespecting the deceased, and the deceased friends and family. I understand that the funeral was public but still, where is their sympathy or their morals. They claim to be spreading the word of God but it looks like they’re spreading hate. Hate speech, hateful conduct, bias behavior, etc. However, this is just my opinion. They have every right to exercise the first amendment. Freedom of speech. Free expression. They aren’t breaking any laws but in my opinion, this is just shameful.
Telling people that it’s too late to pray and they are going to hell. How is that ok?! The poor children are being raised into bigotry, homophobia, discrimination, & propensity. Shameful behavior. To protest at someone’s funeral, kicking the same flag that these people bury their loved ones with. I hope they win the law suit. Once again, my opinion.

Successful completion of a doctoral dissertation requires significant amounts of independent reading on the research topic. This allows the doctoral learner/researcher to become familiar with the scope of the topic and to identify gaps or tensions within the existing literature on the topic. These gaps and tensions become the source of the dissertation research. In this assignment, you will read and annotate potential sources in your dissertation field of interest. Those demonstrating the most merit to the best of your understanding of the topic at this time should be added to your RefWorks list for potential inclusion in the literature review section of your dissertation.
