Personal Philosophy and Best Practices in Human Resources Management My personal philosophy of Human Resources Management is centered around the belief that employees are the most valuable asset of any organization. As a HR professional, I am committed to creating a positive and inclusive workplace culture

Post your own “Personal Philosophy of Human
Resources Management”.  This 3-4
paragraph post represents the approach or philosophy that you intend to bring
to the practice of Human Resources Management. 
This would be something that you would offer in the setting of a job
interview or if you were being interviewed by people new to the field of public
or nonprofit sector management.    This
statement requires much thought and deliberation. 
Post a more
practice-focused statement communicating your recommended “Best HR Practices”.   This can be facilitated by positing a “top
ten” type of list with some explanation of why these practices are particularly
important from your perspective.   Again,
this would be something that you would offer in the setting of a job interview
or if you were being interviewed by people new to the field of public or
nonprofit sector management.

D.C. v. Heller (2008) case which held that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects an individual’s “right to keep and bear arms” for private use.
Nixon v. United States (1993) challenged the procedures the Senate used to impeach a federal judge, Walter L. Nixon Jr. The entire Senate did not try the case; instead, a special twelve-member committee heard it and reported to the full body. Nixon argued that this procedure violated Article I of the Constitution, which states, “The Senate shall have the sole power to try all Impeachments.”   
Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (1992) the Court’s lead plurality opinion upheld the constitutional right to have an abortion in  Roe v. Wade but lowered the standard for analyzing restrictions of that right, invalidating one regulation but upholding the others.
Coy v. Iowa (1988) the high court maintained that the right to face-to-face confrontation was the essential intended element of the framer’s Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause.
McDonald v. Chicago (2010) the Court reasoned that rights that are “fundamental to the Nation’s scheme of ordered liberty” or that are “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition” are appropriately applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment.
Wallace v. Jaffree (1985) the Constitutional Founders expected to build the ‘wall of separation’ but the greatest injury of the ‘wall’ notion,” continued Justice Rehnquist, is the mischievous diversion of judges from the actual intentions of the drafters of the Bill of Rights.

Title: Analyzing Organizational Goals, Structure, and Performance: A Case Study of the United Nations

Name a public organization you are interested in (preferably you have experienced before as a employee or employer). It would be helpful to provide short explanation about an organization or a link we can find information.  Analyze the organization’s goals, organizational structure, and performance measurements in terms of the ideas and literature discussed in this module.  You must reference specific theories or concepts of organizational goals, performance, and organizational structure in your response.  How do you evaluate this organization’s fit into the theory or model of efficiency or effectiveness (or how does the theory or model fit the organization)?  This part of the question is worth 6 points.
Come back and see what your peers discussed. 
Comment, assist and encourage their posts.  
Do you agree or disagree with the assessments from your classmates?  
Explain why or why not.  
Again, you must reference specific theories, concepts, or models in this module.  
This part of the question is worth 4 points.
