Tracey, age 56, was laid off from her bank job 6 months ago; she has been applying for various positions with very little response and only one interview, and her state unemployment insurance has just ended. As a single mother, she was unable to save much for her retirement. She now fears she will run through her small retirement savings to pay the mortgage on her condo and other bills. She has also been without health insurance since losing her job because she couldn’t afford COBRA payments or the insurance available through the ACA. Tracey is considering selling her condo and moving in with one of her siblings while she continues to look for work. She’s hoping she can eventually find a job with health insurance benefits that will last until she qualifies for Medicare.
1.What do you think are some reasons that Tracey’s economic situation is so unstable?
2.The ADEA, or Age Discrimination in Employment Act, made it illegal to discriminate against older workers because of their age, but the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report on the state of age discrimination stated that “age discrimination remains a significant and costly problem for workers, their families, and our economy.” How do employers get away with discrimination against older workers in spite of the ADEA?
3.What policy changes would you propose that could help someone in Tracey’s situation obtain healthcare coverage?
4.What prejudices do you think you hold against older people in the workforce? Why?
1. In an episode of the Different World, guest starring Tisha Campbell-Martin as Josie Webb, a Hillman student who is HIV-positive comes out to her classmates about her illness in an English class. Around this same time the original episode aired, former basketball star Magic Johnson disclosed his HIV status in a news conference. Compare the way we look at HIV/AIDS then and now. Also how did shows like DW start the discussion in the African American community about this subject.?
2. In the State of North Carolina, which population has the highest new rates of HIV? (Race, Age, Sexuality)
3. What are some safety precautions against the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections?
4. Why is HPV more dangerous for women than men?
5. What are the 4 stages of syphilis?

what does it mean to be a leader ?
Terri has completed her degree in Human Resource Management. She was very excited to start her new position working in a human resource department of a major corporation. One month into her position, she realizes that all her knowledge of human resource tools, guidelines, compliance, and recruiting did not prepare her for the complexities of being in a human resource position with the need to lead and influence others.
Human resource professionals provide a unique role in an organization. While they may lead a team, their true test of leadership comes from their relationships and influence throughout the organization. They may be called upon to partner in the implementation of organizational strategies. They may be sought out to coach leaders in ways to handle employee relationships. They may be needed to enforce and guide human resource policies. In all cases, the strength of the individual leadership skills comes into play.
This week, you will explore the basic ideas of what it means to be a leader, how leadership is unique for human resources professionals, and what leadership means to you. As you complete this week’s activities, think about Terri from the above scenario.
The course text The Leadership Experience is a wonderful compilation of the movement of leadership theories from historical perspectives to today.
