ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

Welcome to the year 2332 where America’s space exploration has paid off in the discovery of a strange new world run by an artificial intelligence agent named Mott whose only power source is set to expire in 90 days. Your mission is to persuade Mott not to power up a replacement but to instead hire you and your team of highly qualified specialists to become the workforce. Please consider/address the following:

· Explain to Mott what humanity is at its very core. What values do we share when we get past the issues that aim to divide us?

· Mott has been monitoring earth for eons and knows the problems of in-fighting among us. Make a case to Mott that your crew would not fall into stereotypes, othering, bullying or the other ‘human’ tools we use to create dis-unity.

· Demonstrate how bringing in a human touch would bring positive elements to their world. (What do we have that Artificial Intelligence does not?)

· What types of negatives will overtake their world should they choose to remain non-human?

Workplace Diversity Through Art

Mott has a database filled with artwork made by human hands but is unable to understand how artwork could enhance work performance. Search the Internet for three pieces of art that in your view best demonstrates the unity of diversity of the workplace you will create. You can select paintings, sculptures pictures, or any other visual representation of art. Once you find them, click on the word “Text” and explain to Mott how each contributes to humanity’s immense creative power that will provide stability in a diverse workplace.

Workplace Diversity through Music

Mott does not see music as something that calms the nerves, soothes the soul, and brings joy to the listener. Mott sees it only as a tool of division and distraction for humans preferring you and your team to work in silence.

Go to YouTube and find a musical performance that demonstrates the universal power of music to bring people of diverse backgrounds together. For example, your selection could represent multiple groups that represent human unity at its best such as the 1985 iconic song, We are the World. It can be something soothing like a meditation melody, a tune that needs a full symphony to present or a single voice, or it could be a patriotic song that establishes our common ground.

Once you select your video, click on ‘share,’ then click on ’embed,’ and finally click on ‘copy’ found at the lower right. Next, click inside the textbox below, then click on the “Insert” menu and select “Online Video” from the menu. Select the option where you ‘paste’ the embed code. If necessary, reference the video on the References page.

Literature and Diversity in the Workplace

There are many forms of literature including laws or Legislative Acts. Revisit your Learning Content for Unit 6, explain why it is important for Mott to stop excluding humans from the workplace. Use specific points from Unit 6 to establish the need for change from a completely Artificial Intelligence society to one benefiting from the creativity and insights humanity can contribute.

Reflections

The week you took a look at diversity from a different and unique perspective. Please address the following to complete the Unit 6 template.

1. While our fictional character, Mott, symbolizes technology in its most developed form, describe living in a world that is void of human negatives. What would it be like? How would that impact the human spirit? Would there be benefits?

2. The workplace is often where diversity is celebrated. Describe your workplace in terms of diversity. What are its strengths? Weaknesses? Is change needed? If so, in what areas? If you are not currently working, describe an ideal workplace in terms of diversity.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument Cultural Diversity: Diversity to the workplace
