From an organizational standpoint, liberal feminism is concerned with several principles, one being the “glass escalator” phenomenon. Considering your workplace experiences, discuss whether or not you have witnessed the phenomenon in action. What were the implications? If not, discuss your knowledge of the concept.

Generally speaking, a micro essay, also known as a flash essay, is a very short work of writing, usually less than 1,000 words. These essays take a variety of shapes––sometimes they are lyrical, sometimes they are cultural critiques, sometimes conceptual humor pieces, etc. The word “essay” connotes nonfiction, and often micro essays are creative nonfiction (meaning artful communication of nonfiction)––though they sometimes exist in the space between fiction and nonfiction.
We will look at some humorous examples of micro essays, including from McSweeney’s https://www.mcsweeneys.net/tendency and The New Yorker “Shouts and Murmurs.”
Note in these examples an awareness of form and of the rhetoric used in these forms.
There are droves of satirical essays and web content, including The Onion and Clickhole, that satirize form and culture. There are also many literary micro- essays that deal with more personal subject matter. The examples included in this handout are somewhere between these two: they are not as quick and silly as The Onion, but are less personal than personal narratives and memoir- type essays.
KNEEL BEFORE ME, THE GODDESS OF AUTUMN By Glenn Boozan
The New Yorker
Greetings, my children.
The weather has turned brisk and the leaves have begun their slow forfeiture of chlorophyll. When winter comes, I shall quietly retreat back to my SoulCycle classes and my marketing job at a P.R. company, but for these few months I demand that you kneel before me: the Goddess of Autumn.
Fear me. For I do autumn better than anyone else.
Do you know why I have been anointed, dear disciple? Why it has been heralded to my friends, family, and co-workers that I alone may wear the orange-leafed crown? I am Goddess because, fair neophyte, fall is, like, my favorite season.
You mere mortals understand not the power of the months which lie between August and December. You know nothing of autumnal pleasures, yet I was created in divine image for the explicit purpose of wearing chunky-knit sweaters and those rain boots from L.L. Bean.
However, I am a kind Goddess.
Genuflect to me and I shall bestow upon you a bountiful Instagram harvest: photos of butternut-squash salads, latte-foam art, and me smiling while throwing a bunch of leaves in the air.
I invite you to sip from my chalice the sweet nectar of cinnamon chai tea. My gloves, ever without fingers, shall be perpetually wrapped around a mug. I do not need two hands to carry said mug, yet I will use them.
Bask in the glory of my mustard-colored pants. Marvel at my multitude of layers—my leg warmers, my wrist warmers, and my forehead warmers zhush-ed to perfection, as if by Jenna Lyons herself.
My scarves are plentiful, nay, infinite. Forged in the fires of Anthropologie, I shall don one each day, regardless of whether I’m indoors, or it’s just too hot
for a scarf. Should the urge overtake me, perhaps I shall knit you a scarf myself, for that is the extent of what I can knit. Just a straight piece of cloth.
I shall baptize my followers from a goblet of my “literally famous” mulled wine—whose secret ingredients are written in the sacred book of AllRecipes.com—and we shall light the ceremonial wood-fire-scented candles of Dyptique.
On the Sabbath, I shall drape PennySavers on my small kitchen table to celebrate the annual carving of the pumpkins. We shall bathe in the sounds of my “Fall Coffeehouse Chill 2” Spotify playlist as I impart divine wisdom upon my flock.
“Oh, Goddess, what shall I be for Halloween?” they will ask. And, because I am merciful, I will provide. I shall come up with a costume idea for each one of them. And it shall be good.
Let the cynics and the non-believers run their tongues raw with blasphemy. You may call me a “basic bitch,” but I will turn the other cheek. Because when the day of reckoning comes and I organize a group of people to go apple picking, you shall not be invited. And you will be sad. Because apple picking is super-fun.
So, in the vernal months, worship freely. But, come fall, you shall bow to me, because I am crisp. I am cozy. And I put cinnamon on fucking everything.
I am . . . the Goddess of Autumn.
In this example, the writer satirizes the idea of the “basic bitch.” This piece creates a fictional character who is a conglomeration of cultural trends. The style and tone of the piece are high, formal, and archaic. Its mimicking of mythology/the style and form of mythology in contrast with the arguably trivial content emphasizes a sort of silliness in these fall pleasures.
5 SIGNS THAT YOUR TINDER DATE IS ACTUALLY A TGI FRIDAY’S BAKED POTATO SKIN.
By Becky Mandelbaum
McSweeney’s
His pictures consist of exactly 50% stock images of American Adult Men and 50% blurred images of TGI Fridays Baked Potato Skins.
His interests read: Adult male human activities such as ball sports, sexual intimacy, sour cream, walking on beaches with my two male human adult feet, heteronormativity, bacon bits, cats followed by a list of nutritional facts and a link to the TGI Friday’s online menu.
When you finally gather the nerve to call him, he answers with what you later discover to be audio clips from The Talented Mr. Ripley:
YOU Hey, how’s it going?
“HIM”: That scent you’re wearing. I bought that. For you.
YOU: Sorry, what was that? I don’t think I heard you right.
“HIM”: I don’t know what to believe.
YOU: What are you talking about, Brad? You’re scaring me.
“HIM”: Whatever you do, however terrible, however hurtful, it all makes sense, doesn’t it? In your head? You never meet anybody who thinks they’re a bad person.
YOU: Does this have anything to do with that message you sent me about causing heart disease in children?
“HIM”: Don’t you just take the past and put it in a room in the basement and lock the door and never go in there?
YOU: Okay now you’re just being a dick hole.
“HIM”: That’s what I do…. And then you meet someone special, and all you want to do is toss them the key and say, Open up, step inside. But you can’t. Because it’s dark. And there are demons. And if anybody saw how ugly it is…
YOU: I still have no idea what you’re talking about, but I’m seriously aroused.
He invites you on a date to TGI Fridays and when you get there he’s an order of Baked Potato Skins.
Despite being 99.9% sure that he’s a TGI Friday’s Baked Potato Skin you continue sending messages and the occasional topless photo. Eventually he calls you a bitch and blocks your account after you admit to kind of liking Applebee’s potato twisters.
McSweeney’s often satirizes the listicle form. The situations tend to be absurd, and the signs work to characterize the perceived reader, and more so, the culture which informs listicles. Here, we might interpret a critique of Tinder and its users/internet dating culture. And, I guess, TGI Friday’s!

Each Treatment Plan Assignment will contain two main sections, which will all be included in a SINGLE document that will be attached and then submitted via Blackboard.
SECTION 1. A brief summary of the case/individual you are writing about
SECTION 2. The Actual Assessment. The assessment will be broken down into seven INDIVIDUAL sections:
NOTE: The treatment plan addresses immediate actions that need to be taken, along with specific goals. Treatment goals reflect what we know about the disorder and the recommended therapy. These goals range form immediate to long-term. Treatment goals also reflect the particular needs and concerns of the individual (ex. safety/hospitalization). The following will ALWAYS need to be addressed in your treatment plan:
1) How will the symptoms be managed?
2) Problematic behavior, thinking, and emotions
3) The stabilization of a client through medication (if needed),
4) How alterations in personality and relationships will be addressed
If ANY of these issues are not addressed in the treatment plan, it is INCOMPLETE. These issues (however you present them) MUST be included.
LENGTH OF ASSIGNMENT: The treatment plans will be as long as they need to be. However, all sections/areas need to be addressed. To address all sections/areas, one has to include quite a bit of information. If you have never written any form of treatment plans like this before, let me first say that most mental health facilities use SOME type of template/format…however, each facility is DIFFERENT, and will have their OWN standard of what is expected to be included in such a treatment plan. In this course, you are learning a basic approach; some facilities prefer very short, concise treatment plans, whereas some prefer the clinician to put in as much detailed information as they like. Please keep this in mind.
ALSO, for those first beginning to write these plans, this is a learning process. Each week in this course you will get better and better at writing these; be patient. At first you may have a lot of difficulty with these, but as you write a new one each week, your skills at composing such works will improve. Please strive to improve with each week, so that the assignment you submit for week 5 is a pristine work of accumulated knowledge of what you learned in here and from what you learned from the first four treatment plan assignments.
(I WILL BE UPLOADED FILES FOR THIS PART)
WHO WILL YOU BE CREATING TREATMENT PLANS FOR: Students may choose any of the individuals (from any of the chapters) discussed in the “Real Stories” sections of the textbook. Please read the “Real Stories” profile FIRST, then, if you prefer, go online and read more about the individuals; the more history and background you know about the person, the better. Then, and only then, once you have a thorough grasp of the person and their issues, begin the assignment.
HOW LONG WILL THE ASSIGNMENTS TAKE TO COMPLETE: It is advised to begin work on each treatment plan EARLY in the week. These are long, complicated assignments that involve a lot of PLANNING and WRITING. Attempting to complete the assignment in one or two days will not give you enough time. PLEASE begin work on these assignments EARLY IN THE WEEK.
PROOFREAD ALL WORK: Excessive spelling and grammar mistakes are NOT tolerated in the professional environment. Please be aware that these kinds of mistakes will lower your score; this is an advanced course and you are expected by this point to submit work that is proofread and mistake-free. “Proof-reading” involves YOU, NOT the computer! When you feel your assignment is complete, save it, print it, read it, then correct your mistakes. Then resave it, re-print it, and re-read it. Once it is mistake free, submit it.
QUESTIONS? If you have ANY questions about the treatment plan assignments, please send me an e-mail immediately and I WILL get back to you.

You will read the whistleblower case below, apply relevant ideas, concepts, principles, or theories, and provide your judgment or opinion to answer the following four questions. Incorporate understanding and knowledge from Human Resources Management literature into your term paper.
The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer agreed to pay $2.3 billion to settle civil and criminal allegations that it had illegally marketed its painkiller Bextra, which has been withdrawn. Bextra was not approved for the treatment of acute pain, nor was it shown to be any more powerful than ibuprofen. But Pfizer instructed its sales representatives to tell doctors that the drug could be used to treat acute and surgical pain and at doses well above those approved, even though the drug’s dangers — which included kidney, skin and heart risks — increased with the dose, the government charged. John Kopchinski, a former Pfizer sales representative who is one of the whistleblowers in this Bextra case, said that company managers told him and others to dismiss concerns about a similar case while pushing them to undertake the same illegal efforts on behalf of Bextra. Mr. Kopchinski and other whistle-blowers will collect $433 million from the federal share of the settlement and more from states’ shares as their whistle blowing reward.
1. Whistleblowing has been considered to be a new way of monitoring corruption and fraud in the public and private sectors. Describe the important role of whistleblowers in the case, identify possible benefits which the whistleblower system provides for the society, and discuss how the whistleblower system is different from a general top-down monitoring system.
2. Whistleblowers are often the victims of retaliation by their organizations. Employees who blow the whistle on their employers are often laid off or transferred to other organizations or departments with the reduction of their salaries. Discuss ways of preventing fear of retaliation by employers in order to encourage whistle blowing.
4. Provide your judgment and opinion about the result of this case in which each whistleblower will receive a big financial incentive for their whistle blowing activities.
5. Public employees are often reluctant to blow the whistle due to retaliation. Discuss what factors influence public employees to blow the whistle when they find fraud or corruption in their organization.

Choose a piece of rhetoric from any visual medium produced in the last year as your primary source and write a critical analysis of it. Specifically, this essay should address how the rhetoric operates in its sociocultural context.
Note: Avoid explicitly political advertisements as your primary source (these are less challenging).
Your essay must include:
1) a clear thesis statement that articulates whether the rhetoric challenges or reaffirms a prevalent social discourse, or represents an emerging social discourse. (see discourse definition below)
2) a sound, logical structure that allows you to provide your reader with both summary, context, analysis and argument.
3) The essay should be written in proper academic diction.
4) The essay should follow all relevant MLA guidelines (formatting and source citation and documentation, including a separate works cited page).
Source Requirements
Your essay must effectively summarize the primary source/visual rhetoric. If possible, provide at least one excerpt from the rhetoric.
– 1 primary source (the rhetorical subject of your analysis)
Note: This is the only required source for this essay. However, if you choose to include additional research in your essay, those sources must always be cited.
Analytical/Critical Thinking Questions
Here are some questions that may be helpful for Essay 1.
What is the purpose of the rhetoric?
What is the relationship between the rhetoric and its audience? Is it willfully controversial/confrontational? Or, is it attempting to be deferential? Does the rhetoric rely on nostalgia?
What is the visibility of the rhetoric, relative to its sociocultural context? Are we dealing with a blockbuster film, an avant garde work of art, a Super Bowl commercial, a regional commercial?
Which larger discourses can you identify in the rhetoric, or, which discourses are absent? Note: any time you perform a textual analysis, what is absent is just as crucial to consider as what is present in the text.
Aesthetic questions: how does the rhetoric use dialogue, humor, music, its visual
composition, etc. to make its overall message resonate.
What is the interplay between aesthetics, purpose, audience and discourse?
