Choose one of the poems from your readings in Chapter 33: “Poetry for Further Reading” and compose a written explication of that poem. The poem you select must be sophisticated enough to sustain a detailed analysis. You may choose a poem by the same poet you discussed in the Module 5 Discussion Board who comes from a different culture than your own.

• Your explication should be 3-4 pages.
• It should analyze one or more of the poem’s elements (see readings from chapters 27 and 28 for specific elements). 
• Your explication is not a summary of what the poem is about. Nor are you expected to unravel the poem’s “meaning.”  Rather, you are explaining how the poet used a particular poetic element, and you are analyzing how that element affects the rest of the poem.

When writing your explication:

• Choose a poem that is sophisticated enough to sustain a detailed analysis.
• Include a thesis statement that states the element you are analyzing and why.
• Follow a systematic writing pattern by analyzing the element on which you are focusing line by line or stanza by stanza.
• Provide textual examples (words, phrases, and lines) from the poem to illustrate your analytical statements. Cite your sources using correct APA formatting f

Situation:

Performance appraisal is always a challenge for managers, because there are different ways in which we can evaluate performance. Additionally, most managers dislike giving constructive feedback that may be taken negatively by employees; however, appraisal is important to increasing productivity and creating high-performance work teams. With this in mind, there are ethical considerations in the development of performance appraisal systems. Gilbert (2012) addresses the challenges associated with lying and truth-telling in performance appraisal. Consider the following situation:

Suppose that the employee being evaluated is a sixty-four-year-old woman who has announced her intention to retire next year. You have been her supervisor for one year, and you judge that her performance is below standard, but not bad enough at present to require termination. When you review her personnel file, you find that her previous supervisor rated her as satisfactory for each of the last three years. People who have been in the unit for a long time assure you that her performance has not changed this year. One final item of relevance is that she does not take criticism well. In fact, she tends to respond to criticism with tears and hostility. Should you rate her as satisfactory, as your predecessor did for the last three years, or should you rate her as below standard and endure the difficult interview that is sure to follow, with very little hope that her performance will improve before she retires?

identify and evaluate the ethical components of this situation. Approach the situation using an ethical theory as a foundation for your views. As your team works through the performance appraisal, the question about the impact of cultural context becomes something that you should consider. As a group, respond to the following dilemma:

• Consider the impact of truth-telling and lying and your responsibility to your employees and the organization as a manager in this situation.

“ consider the impact of truth telling and lying and your responsibility to your employees and the organization as a manager in this situation’,  create a short paper presenting your results.

Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length (not including the title and reference pages), using APA formatting, in Times New Roman, 12-point font, with one inch margins.
