Discussion Question:

In the fast-moving, ever-changing, technological era that we are living in, change is not only necessary in today’s work environment, but it is also inevitable. There are many reasons why managers seek to implement change. One reason managers introduce change is to increase profitability and company share prices by improving productivity (Palmer, Dunford, & Buchanan, 2017). Another reason is that to increase shareholder value, you must also increase an organization’s capacity to adapt. When making a significant organizational change that requires a fundamental shift in how people think and act, the consequences of that change stretches the organization’s resources as well as their capabilities (Woodward & Hendry, 2004).

One barrier that organizations may face is the employee’s ability to adapt and cope with change. When people have been subjected to change, or are experiencing uncertainty in their work environment, they may reach the limits of their ability to respond to and absorb change (Woodward & Hendry, 2004). Change is not something that can be done successfully without a lot of careful planning and forethought, and a person’s capacity to absorb and respond to change should always be taken into consideration. In Johnson’s story, “Who Moved My Cheese,” we can see that “Hem” was not responsive to change because he felt comfortable where he was and was afraid of the unknown. Haw, on the other hand, realized that he had been held captive by his own fear, and was able to move past it (Johnson, n.d.). When people are faced with uncertainty, they will cling to what they know and stay where they feel comfortable. This lack-of adaptability could hinder the change process if not addressed. To inspire motivation, managers need to find common ground. According to the Arbinger Institute, the biggest lever for change is the way we see and regard our connections with and obligations to others (Arbinger Institute, 2016). Changing the way we see our obligations to others means that to successfully implement change, managers need to have a more inclusive mindset.

In the clip “This Use to Be Us,” Thomas Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum speak of challenges that face our world today. These challenges include globalization, the revolution of information technology, national debt, and annual deficits, and our reliance on fossil fuels and the effects fossil fuels have on the environment (Friedman & Mandelbaum, 2011). These challenges all pose significant threats to the United States and the future of the United States. Addressing them will require change on a grand scale. It requires a change in our political system, changes in our workforce, change in our laws and regulations, and change in our day-to-day activities. Just as external forces are putting pressure on the United States government to implement change, they are also putting pressure on our managers for organizational change. According to our text, change is often forced on organizations through formally mandated laws and regulations (Palmer, Dunford, & Buchanan, 2017). Other external and internal pressures to change may not be addressed without such laws and regulations in place. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was put into place to force corporations to incorporate and follow strict accounting rules to address fraudulent accounting practices.

Change can also be motivated through personal convictions such as religious beliefs, or a person’s morals or character. A great example of this is in the story of Ernestine Shepard. Ernestine Shepard is an 80-year-old bodybuilder who made a decision to change her life through a healthy diet and regular exercise. In the clip “The Remarkable Story of Ernestine Shepard,” Ernestine talks about her sister and the influence her sister had on her life and her decision to become the person she is today. In the clip, Ernestine stated that her sister came to her one day and said that they should strive to be in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest bodybuilders (Ernestine Shepard, 2014). Her drive to change came from a promise that she made to her sister before she passed away.

What I took away from these videos is that change is inevitable, and once we accept that, we can live better and more productive lives. Something else I took away from these videos is that fear is the biggest deterrent of change. Change is scary, and the uncertainty of change can hinder our progress, but if we can move past our fears, we can discover something great!

Question: What are some differences between Old World and New World monkeys; what are some similarities?

Lecture

What is a primate? Primates are members of a biological order (a means of classifying living things). According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, primates are “any mammal of the group that includes the lemurs (Links to an external site.), lorises (Links to an external site.), tarsiers (Links to an external site.), [New World and Old World] monkeys (Links to an external site.), apes (Links to an external site.), and humans (Links to an external site.). The order Primates, with its 300 or more species, is the third most diverse (Links to an external site.) order of mammal (Links to an external site.)s, after rodents (Links to an external site.) (Rodentia) and bats (Links to an external site.) (Chiroptera).” https://www.britannica.com/animal/primate-mammal (Links to an external site.)

Primates are grouped together as an order based on these shared characteristics:

Prehensile hands—our hands can grab and hold onto things

5 digits on hands and feet—this is the ancestral mammalian condition

Most, but not all, primates have nails rather than claws (flat, not pointy and sharp ends to the fingers and toes)

Faces are relatively flat compared to other animals, such as wolves or horses

Relatively large brains and rounded brain skulls

Forward facing eyes (over lapping field of vision = good depth perception)

More reliance on and more brain cells related to sight in relationship to smell (we depend more on our eyes than our noses)

All have clavicles

Many of these features are related to being arboreal, that is to living in the trees

This short video gives a good summary of some of the characteristics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpnlS_ach-0&t=227s (Links to an external site.)

(Unfortunately, like so many other things online, this video still makes a distinction between “humans” and “apes.” It would have been more accurate to say “bipedal apes” instead of humans and “the other apes” instead of “apes” but that would probably confuse people. But not you I hope!)

https://www2.palomar.edu/anthro/primate/prim_1.htm (Links to an external site.) This site gives a good overview of what primates are. Please read this through and send me questions if you find any of it hard to understand.

Go to https://www2.palomar.edu/anthro/primate/table_primates.htm (Links to an external site.) to see the following information in graphic form. (You might want to print it out for future reference.)

THERE ARE TWO BASIC GROUPS WITHIN THE PRIMATE ORDER: PROSIMIANS (Strepsirhines=primates with moist noses) AND ANTHROPOIDS (Haplorhines=primates with dry noses)

PROSIMIANS

lemurs, lorises They used to live throughout the world but now are found almost exclusively in Madagascar.

ANTHROPOIDS ARE SEPARATED INTO TWO MAIN GROUPS: NEW WORLD MONKEYS (PLATYRRHINES) AND OLD WORLD MONKEYS AND APES (CATARRHINES) the names refer to the shapes and orientations of their noses (“rhino” is “nose” in Greek).

As we discussed in earlier classes, even though we call both groups “monkeys,” the Old World monkeys are more closely related to apes than they are to New World monkeys.

Differences between platyrrhines and catarrhines:

  1. New World Monkeys have widely spaced round nostrils that face sideways

Old World Monkeys and Apes have downward-facing oval nostrils that are close together

  1. dental formula: New World monkeys have 3 premolars in each quadrant of their jaws for a total of 12; Old World monkeys and apes (including us) have 2, for a total of 8
  2. some New World monkeys have prehensile tails, tails that they can wrap around things to use as a fifth limb

New World monkey face: https://www.monkeysanctuary.co.za/squirrel-monkeys (Links to an external site.)

Old World monkey face https://www.hoglezoo.org/meet_our_animals/animal_finder/hanuman_langur/ (Links to an external site.)

CATARRHINES ARE SEPARATED INTO CERCOPITHECOIDS (MONKEYS) AND HOMINOIDS (APES)

Cercopithecoids (monkeys) are more quadrupedal than hominoids (apes). These differences in locomotion are shown in differences in their skeletons:

monkeys have much longer lumbar regions and have tails

the scapula on apes is more toward the center of the back

ape arms are longer than their legs, monkeys are more equal

apes can lock their elbows

HOMINOIDS ARE SEPARATED INTO HYLOBATES (lesser apes: gibbons and siamangs) AND HOMINIDS (great apes)

An online lecture that reviews all of the material discussed above plus adds some more informationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igI3EOw8YCg (Links to an external site.)

I suggest that you take a break before you watch this video and use it as a review of what you have learned up to this point.

Primates have evolved a wide range of living forms, in at least three major lines of descent. The Madagascar lemurs, Old World monkeys, and New World monkeys are each a relatively homogeneous group, whose members have radiated to fill comparable niches on three different continents. In other words, among the living primates, different species from each of these three lines of descent occupy very similar econiches in different parts of the world. So there are Old World monkeys, New World monkeys, and lemurs that have adapted to similar foods and environments in different parts of the world as examples of parallel evolution. As a result, they have some similarities in their bodies and in the way they move (their patterns of locomotion). This is parallel evolution in action.

HABITATS—where primates live:

In the FOREST there are

CANOPY WITH EMERGENTS

MIDDLE STORY or UNDERSTORY

LOWER STORY or SHRUB LAYER

FOREST FLOOR

Several species of primates can live in the same area because they will not all occupy the same layers all of the time. For example, at Gombe in Africa where Jane Goodall first studied chimps, there are chimps, red colobus monkeys, and baboons.

Here is an image of a graphic at the Central Park Zoo which illustrates these layers of the forest.

It looks like this image isn’t appearing so I’ll send it in an email.

In addition to living in forests, primates can also live in SAVANNAS (grasslands with some trees) and STEPPES (grasslands with no trees)

TERMS:

TERRESTRIAL means spending all or most of the time on the ground

ARBOREAL means spending all or most of the time in the trees

DIURNAL means active during the day

NOCTURNAL means active during the night

DIETS

Animals who eat mostly or only leaves or grasses are folivores

Animals who eat mostly fruit are frugivores

Animals who eat mostly insects are insectivores

Animals who eat mostly meat are carnivores

Animals who eat many things are omnivores

Many primates are frugivores; some are insectiviores or folivores; tarsiers are carnivores; and we humans and some monkeys are omnivores.

TYPES OF LOCOMOTION (HOW PRIMATES MOVE)

  1. VERTICAL CLINGING AND LEAPING
  2. QUADRUPEDALISM

SLOW-CLIMBING

BRANCH-RUNNING AND WALKING

GROUND-RUNNING AND WALKING

SEMI-BRACHIATION [brachiation is moving using the arms]

USING THE TAIL [New World monkeys use their prehensile tails as a fifth limb]

WITHOUT USE OF THE TAIL

  1. BRACHIATION

TRUE BRACHIATION

ARM SWINGING AND QUADRUMANOUS CLIMBING

KNUCKLE WALKING WITH BRACHIATION AND CLIMBING

  1. BIPEDALISM

  1. Vertical clinging and leaping is unique to the lemurs. They move around in the trees by jumping, taking off and landing with their feet. This is unlike other primates who land with their arms when they jump. (Did you ever see the movie Predator? One of the things that made the alien predator so creepy was how he moved in the trees, taking off and landing with his legs.)

Watch this for an example of shifak locomotionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHCQ5-1n07M (Links to an external site.)

  1. Quadrupedalism using all four limbs to move. There are several variations of this. Watch these videos and note the shapes of the primates’ hands and feet and how they use them.

The goal of this essay is to develop and put into practice the necessary skills to craft an argumentative essay, in order to make a point and hopefully convince your audience that you are correct. In order to accomplish this, you’ll be proposing some improvement on a small, local scale that you think would make life better. This could be something in your hometown, something in your neighborhood, something at ATC, etc. Examples for topics that I have seen in the past include, ways to improve MARTA, ways to help the homeless population, ways to reduce student loan debt, etc. For this paper, you should have at least 4 sources that help back up your arguments. Through your research, you should explain the problem, identify a solution that you think could be realistically put into practice, and convince your audience that this is a solution they should support. This may mean explaining why it is better than other possible solutions or things that have been tried in the past.
