Plate movement and natural hazards
Plate movement
leads to secondary lithospheric processes such as earthquakes, volcanoes, hot
spot activity, rifting, and sea-floor spreading that we will learn about in more detail
in Chapter 9. These processes are what we tend to consider as natural hazards,
which may result in catastrophic events termed as natural disasters. For this
discussion assignment I want you to find a current event related to one of these
lithospheric processes and explain what is/has been occurring and why (you may
have to refer to Chapter 9 to help you figure out what is the cause or trigger for
the event if it is not provided in the article). Provide a reference (including the
web address) to the article or information that you found for this current
event. Remember to paraphrase the information (i.e., provide a brief summary
of the event and its cause in your own words), and only use quotations when
absolutely necessary.
The current event can be within the last 5 years. Volcanoes and earthquakes are
activities that are most frequently in the news, but there are also some great news
articles on recent findings on sea-floor spreading and hot spot activity, so try your
best to expand your search and find something a little unique.

strengths and weaknesses found in each style. Consider the most
favorable aspects of each style discussed to describe a process by which

Decision making behavior
The CEO of your company has been extremely frustrated with what has
been occurring within the organization lately. In a recent managers
meeting he exclaimed, “Everyone around this place just follows the
status quo. No one ever has any unique ideas on how we can make this
organization better. You just sit here and wait for me to give you
directions on what to do. Then you follow those directions word for word
without asking any questions or making any improvements. We need to
change this attitude and change it quickly”. He then pointed out each of
your group members and said, “You are in charge of fixing this and I
want a strategy to fix this on my desk in one week!”
The CEO has created a group to analyze the possible causes and to identify recommendations to overcome what he sees as detrimental to the organizations success. YOU have been selected to be a member of this group.
You must do analysis, have discussions and come to a consensus to prepare a report (paper) that addresses the following:
Identify the decision theory or theories that your group believes best explains what is occurring within the organization (is the decision making behavior within the organization best explained by using groupthink, social comparison theory, conformity, group polarization, a combination of these concepts, or all of these concepts?).
What recommendations can you make regarding how people can avoid group or mob mentality (such as deindividuation or groupthink)?
Identify fully at least three recommendations your group can make to the CEO that can help him improve the current decision making conditions within the organization?
