RE: Week 4 | Discussion
Corrections Week 4 Discussion
Intermediate sanctions are criminal penalties that do not include jail time or probation. Intermediate sanctions are planned to offer courts a bit more discretion in handing down sentences. The intended purpose is mainly to keep offenders out of prison by offering intense rules in their community regarding their behavior.
Intermediate Sanctions do not cause great financial strain on court systems.
Do not include criminal penalties that do not include jail time probation
Some of the Intermediate Sanctions can be used instead of going to jail, which is not often an option for minorities
House arrest – Offenders are not allowed to leave the approved community unless traveling to and from court
Intermediate Sanctions can be issued by the dishonest court officials, judges, and other authorities.
Fines are not set. They can range from a few dollars to thousands of dollars. There has to be an honest and fair implementation of fines for all individuals considered for Fines.
Sentencing guidelines cause inequalities in terms of who goes to prison and the length of time, they must serve.
Intermediate Sanctions do not lessen prison time. The most used kind of intermediate sanction is intensive supervision, electronic monitoring, and boot camp.
Intermediate Sanctions has not been determined to slow criminal activity.

ENG315 Professional Scenarios
1. Saban is a top performing industrial equipment salesperson for D2D. After three years of working with his best client, he receives a text message from Pat (his direct manager) assigning him to a completely different account.
Pat has received complaints that Saban gets all of the good clients and is not a “team player.”
Saban responds to the message and asks for a meeting with Pat to discuss this change. Pat responds with another text message that reads: “Decision final. Everyone needs to get a chance to work with the best accounts so it is fair. Come by the office and pick up your new files.”
Moments later, Saban sends a text message to Karen, his regional manager and Pat’s boss. It simply reads, “We need to talk.”
2. Amber, Savannah, and Stephen work for Knowledge, Inc. (a consulting company). While on a conference call with Tim Rice Photography (an established client), the group discusses potential problems with a marketing campaign. Tim Rice, lead photographer and owner of Tim Rice Photography, is insistent the marketing is working and changes are not needed.
Amber reaches over to put Tim on “Mute” but accidently pushes a different button. She immediately says to Savannah and Stephen that the marketing campaign is not working and that “…Tim should stick to taking pretty pictures.”
Tim responds, “You know I can hear you, right?”
3. James shows up to work approximately five minutes late this morning, walks silently (but quickly) down the hallway and begins to punch in at the time clock located by the front desk.
Sarah, the front desk manager, says, “Good morning, James,” but James ignores her, punches in, and heads into the shop to his workplace. Sarah rolls her eyes, picks up the phone, and dials the on-duty manager to alert her that James just arrived and should be reaching his desk any moment.
4. Paul works for the website division of SuperMega retail company. He receives an email late Friday afternoon that explains a new computer will launch at the end of next June and it will be in high demand with limited stock. Also contained in the three-page-message is that customers will be able to preorder the item 30 days before launch according to the production company. Paul is asked to create a landing page for consumers who are interested in learning more about the product.
By mistake, Paul sets up a preorder page for the product that afternoon (well in advance of the company authorized period) and late Friday evening consumers begin to preorder the product. Sharon, Vice President of Product Sales at SuperMega, learns of the error Saturday morning and calls Paul to arrange a meeting first thing Monday morning. Sharon explains to Paul on the phone that the company intends on canceling all of the preorders and Paul responds that the company should honor the preorders because it was not a consumer error. After a heated exchange, Paul hangs up on Sharon when she insists that the preorders will be canceled because of Paul’s error.

RE: Week 4 Discussion: Delivering Bad News Messages
“They never gave me a fair chance,” That’s unfair,” “This just can’t be.” In this case I will have to go with inductive reasoning after reviewing in some ways they are so similar to one another. Inductive reasoning is more based on uncertainty and deductive reasoning is more factual. In this case the conversation is more of an assumption.
I would think deductive would be more effective to share because deductive focus more on facts. Deductive Reasoning is the basic form of valid reasoning in my words accurate information that can be proven. Inductive reasoning is the premises in which the premises are viewed as supplying some evidence for truth. In my words this seems more of an opinion until proven. Tom me they are similar you have to really read to understand the difference of inductive and deductive reasoning.
