I’m working on a political science multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

This week we are focusing on the legislative branch, or the Congress! As we know, the Congress is a bicameral legislative body composed of a House of Representatives (members are apportioned to the states based on population and elected every two years) and a Senate in which each state (regardless of size) has two senators. The 17th Amendment (1913) changed the Constitution so that senators were no longer chosen by the individual state legislatures but by the people in a direct election.

For our discussion, I want you to think about what the role of a member of the House of Representatives and the Senate should be. Should we elect members of Congress to follow their consciousness or should they vote on legislation based on what we the voters want? Are there any pro-and cons about each approach to viewing the role of the legislator? What do you think?

Use the assigned chapters and the “Interpersonal Relationships in Transnational, Virtual Teams: Towards a Configurational Perspective” article located on this week’s University Library Resources page to complete this assignment.

Read the following case study scenario:

In a recent merger, two companies combined; one company was located in the United States, and the other company was located in Japan. Although both companies are now a unified business organization, offices will be kept in both countries. Because of this merger, transnational groups are now being formed with employees from the United States and from Japan. 

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that addresses the following:

• Define organizational culture, and discuss how an organization’s culture can affect its members.
• How might individualism and collectivism affect the functioning of the new transnational work groups in this scenario?
• Discuss strategies that can help transnational work groups be successful and effective when meeting face to face.
• Because transnational work groups will generally work virtually, discuss strategies focused on helping virtual, transnational work groups be successful and effective.

Please in your own words and make simple. Please don’t use paraphrasing websites and no plagiarism.

(I will provide the textbook chapter)

Page 208 in your textbook lists the seven Titles (sections) to the Older Americans Act (OAA). Pick three of the seven titles and explore further. Feel free to use the Internet for further information – please be sure your sources are reliable.

• Title I: Declaration of Objectives; Definitions
• Title II: Administration on Aging (AoA)
• Title III: Grants for States and Community Programs on Aging
• Title IV: Activities for Health, Independence, and Longevity
• Title V: Community Service Senior Employment Program
• Title VI: Grants for Services for Native Americans
• Title VII: Vulnerable Elder Rights Protection Activities

For the write up:

Answer each of the following for your selected section.( do three times for the each of three title chosen)

1. Which title did you select?
2. Give a brief summary of what the section covers.
3. How do you feel the information in your section of the OAA can benefit seniors?
4. Do you have any suggestions for changes that are needed in your section?

If you are a new CEO for a large integrated healthcare system and your organization’s board of directors asked you to outline your plan to promote organization design, coordination, and motivation effectively. What is it, and how are you going to sell it?

To prepare for this discussion: Review this week’s Learning Resources.

Post by Day 3: your initial answer.

Respond by Day 5: to at least two of your colleagues and continue the discussion through Day 7:
Expand this discussion by highlighting the differences between your posting and your colleagues’ postings. Provide additional insights or alternative perspectives.
The initial post must require a minimum of four (4) current quality references. Two (2) of them are from current peer-reviewed journals from the UC online library. Including references in your replies to classmates is optional but recommended.
Your replies to other classmates’ posts need to be 100 words per post.
Focus on presenting critical thinking ideas and synthesis in your posts and less on stating and describing.
Support your posts with specific examples.

This week, you will find three scholarly, peer-reviewed research articles on your topic. Remember that next week you will submit a paper on Scientific and/or Mathematical/Analytical perspectives of inquiry, so use this week’s assignment to prepare materials and collect information for that purpose.

Use articles that will help you explain and describe scientific issues and/or statistical data or economic information related to your topic. You will analyze and evaluate these articles in your submission, which should include:

• A brief introductory paragraph.
• Three separate paragraphs, one for each of the three articles, each presenting:
  • A brief 3–4 sentence summary of the article (use in-text citations)
  • An explanation as to what makes this source credible (in the WCU Library go to Research Guides > Research Basics > Evaluating Resources)
  • An explanation of why the article will be useful in addressing your problem or issue

• A brief conclusory paragraph
• An APA Style reference list on a separate page

Your paper should be 1–3 pages in length (including the References page). Adhere to APA Style throughout.
