Q 1 Security
Sam ought to have investigated on what was taking place with the employee from the finance department on the second day when he saw a continuation of the behavior and record them when talking about the plan. This shall provide enough evidence to support his case. The next step should be to alert the police and report to ABC Corporation Manager for further supervision and more security. The investigation should be done and kept confidential to prevent the finance employee to seek for a law suit for defamation. Any weapons found should be exhibit evidence. In this instance the security should not show the recordings to anyone but only to the investigating team. The suspected employee should be suspended or transferred. The company should recommend for a thorough checking at the gate to ensure no one enters with a weapon. A zero-tolerance policy toward workplace violence should be established by the employers. Companies that are well-managed must have understandable policies in position that outline every part of dealing with workplace insecurity, from prevention mechanisms to investigating in order to disciplining employees who are found planning on violence. In addition, employers should develop methods necessary to protect employees in high risk organizations.
Q2 Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a humiliating conduct based on sexual behavior affecting the dignity of a person. It might be a verbal non verbal or physical conduct. In this case, Ralph harasses Harriet verbally which makes her uncomfortable and therefore are regarded as sexual harassment. The first thing Harriet should do is to tell Ralph to stop the behavior and if he does not change, put into writing for instance “I don’t like the way you say about my figure and I do not like going to date after work with you. I consider this sexual harassment and if you do not stop I will file a complaint.” Sign a date and ensure to have a copy and witness see her give the letter to Ralph. In addition she can file a complaint at the Department of Fair Employment and Housing or Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The company should have organization Sexual harassment policy and conduct education on sexual harassment and make it clear that sexual harassment is prohibited. It should also monitor the environmental conduct of the work place (Boland, 2005).
Q3 Drug Abuse
His suspicions are correct and reasonable since the security officer does not come to work and when he comes he looks exhausted and unfocused. It is like he is not himself and there is something bothering him. Since James has tried to talk to the security officer but all in vain, then he should look for a better way to solve the issue. James should report to the Security Network manager who should do a drug test. If the drug test is positive he should recommend the security officer a psychologist and a drug therapy.
It is advisable for every security personnel to be tested for drugs and alcohol since a person under the influence of either is not in a good position to work.

Ageism and the Media
Name the character and the television show or movie and when you saw it.
Answer of question 1
Nora Walker in the television show Brothers and Sisters has been portrayed in a positive light. I watched the show in January 2011 when the season five of the series was premiering.
Describe the elderly character’s appearance and at least three positive attributes/behaviours the character displayed.
Answer of question 2
Nora Walker a mother of five children and a widow to William Walker spent most of her time raising her children and at the same time helping her husband build Ojai Foods which is their family business. Although she is in the young- old category according to her chronological age, she is much younger according to her physical, functional and her perceived age. For a woman of her age, she looks younger and she is fit to take on different activities. According to the Inside Pulse, Nora Walker is tired of staying at home and does not want to be termed as an old person so, she gets a job as a radio presenter. Her show involves her giving motherly advice to her callers.
Nora Walker organizes a dinner party for her son Justin when he gets back home from Afghanistan. .She also organizes a party for her son Tommy when he got back home after being away for a year. Nora organizes these parties so as to get her family together. She is also involved in many social aspects of life where she is actively involved in raising money for cancer patients who can not afford to pay for treatment. She is an active member of the community interacting with her neighbours and friends.
As women age, they tend to feel unattractive and try to keep away from their social life. Their skin becomes thinner, drier and looses collagen forming wrinkles. This makes women shun away from the public because the public perceive them as fragile and too slow to engage in similar activities as the young generation even in activities they were good at when they were younger. This is not the case with Nora Walker who attends party including one that his daughter’s fiancé was the guest of honour. As stated in the Inside Pulse, the party comprised of young people, but Nora Walker did not see this as a reason not to attend the party. She also organizes a party every year to raise funds for cancer patients who are unable to pay for their treatment. She is also feels attractive enough to fall in love with different men at different times including a work mate at the radio station.
3. What behaviours/interactions happened between this elderly character and others in the movie/program that made them a positive role model for aging?
Answer of question3
Nora Walker is always quick to give advice to her children concerning their daily lives and also their relationships with their spouses. As an elder person, she is seen as one with a lot of wisdom and many of her children seek refuge in her house when in problems. Her children are not very young and that is why they do not perceive their mother as very old. Nora’s grandchildren view her as an older person unlike her children due to the age difference. This is the reason why it is possible for Nora Walker to easily interact with her children.
Her children including members of her extended family are constantly arguing with each other, but she acts as a mediator and tries to always remind them that they are a family and they should love each other (Marsi- TV Fanatic). She is a positive role model of aging because at her age, she is fit to carry out several activities and yet maintain a job and also has time to spend with her family.
All her children aspire to be good mothers as her and would like to look like her when they reach her age. Though at one time she was feeling old and like it was impossible for her to get into the job market, she did not subject herself to plastic surgery because she appreciated who she was. Most women as they age, they result to drastic measures to prevent the visibility of physical aging. Her daughter Sara Walker also wanted to book an appointment with the plastic surgeon, but Nora Walker convinced her not to do it because she did not have to be ashamed of her age (Marsi- TV Fanatic).
