Using the motivation theories, explain either your best, or your worst workplace experience in terms of motivation. Go in detail and provide information on your boss, work, context, environment etc. that affected your motivation. How and why did the situation lead you to perform at your best? Alternatively, how and why did you chose to not be performing according to expectations?If you have little or no prior work experience, or don't feel comfortable sharing, please watch the movie “Office Space” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151804/ (Links to an external site.)) and analyze the situation Peter Gibbons and his colleagues are experiencing (you may chose either character, however, I recommend you address Peter Gibbon’s situation). If you chose to analyze the movie, your analysis has to go beyond the two short videos posted on the course website. Using the theories discussed, explain why he is motivated, or not so motivated, to perform highly.Theory 1:Theory 2:Theory 3: As a reminder, the eight motivation theories discussed in the book and in class were: Maslow's Hierarchy of NeedsAlderfer's ERG TheoryHerzberg's Two-factor TheoryMcClelland's Motive Dispositions TheoryEquity TheoryExpectancy TheoryReinforcement TheoryGoal Setting TheoryLength & Structure: Your assignment should not exceed three to three and a half (double spaced) pages in length (Times New Roman font size 12, double spaced) that is, about one (1) page (double spaced) for each theory (required), 0.5 page introduction (optional). Please make sure to use headlines, introductions, and other elements of structure. An introduction might help if you are referencing your own work experience. It is less important if you opt to analyze the movie. Grading: This assignment will be graded 70% on your ability to correctly apply motivation theories and 30 % on grammar and spelling. It is therefore important that you carefully edit your answers before turning them in. Please make sure you reference three different theories. If you analyze the same theory three times you will receive full points. If you chose your own work experience, you may analyze the same or different work situations/jobs.

Part One: Identifications. 5pts/ID = 30%For each of the six concepts below, please provide a brief definition in your own words explaining what the concept means. For each concept, please provide an example from our course materials that helps to illustrate what the term means/why it is significant. Readings, lectures, slides, clips/documentaries are all fair game for use as examples.1.) Naturalistic Fallacy2.) Dualism/Binary Schema3.) Intersectionality4.) Biopower5.) Epistemology6.) PatriarchyPart Two: Short Answer. 35%/prompt = 70% Please choose two (2) of the following three prompts to answer. Approximate length (can be shorter or longer, don’t worry!): 3 paragraphs for each prompt. Please provide at least two examples to substantiate your response for each prompt.In-text citations are not required, but are just fine to use. If citations or paraphrases are used, please include brief citation information (last name, page number). No works cited page is necessary.Please use 11 or 12pt. Times New Roman font and please 1.5 or double spaceparagraphs.Please remember to insert page numbers and a header with full name as well as your section number (01, 02, 03, or 04). Thank you!! Happy Writing!!2Payne WMNST 382 Spring 2021 Midterm #1 Due Friday February 26thPrompt #1:During the first few weeks of the semester, we began by discussing some of the traditional approaches to studying science and technology. Following this, we reflected on the challenges posed to these traditional studies of science by those whose approach we might usefully bring together under the umbrella term ‘social construction.’ First, please identify and describe the general characteristics and assumptions of traditional approaches (positivism, falsificationism, functionalism) to the study of science.Then, please identify and describe some of the critiques that subsequent social constructionists posed to traditional approaches? Finally, flip the tables once more: what are potential critiques of the social constructionist approaches to the study of science?(Remember to include at least two examples when answer this prompt! Thanks!)Prompt # 2:Both feminist equity studies and feminist analyses of the uses of language/rhetoric and imagery identify gendered disparities in science. In their own ways, both equity studies and studies of language and imagery contend that science has been and continues to be gendered.First, please describe the field of feminist equity studies in relation to STEM. What do equity studies, well, study? That is, what are the points of interest and objects of analysis in equity studies? What are some of the typical findings of feminist equity studies in general and with respect to STEM specifically? That is, what are some of the historical and ongoing patterns identified in feminist equity studies? What are some of the potential sources/reasons that might explain the patterns of findings in feminist equity studies in relation to STEM? What variables cause or are correlated with the disparities identified?Continued on following page...3Payne WMNST 382 Spring 2021 Midterm #1 Due Friday February 26thNext, please describe the role (historically and/or currently) of gendered language and imagery in relation to science, technology, and medicine. When analysts of language and imagery contend that ‘science is gendered,’ what does this mean? How is science gendered in terms of language and imagery?(Remember to include at least two examples when answer this prompt! Thanks!)Prompt # 3:Standpoint theories maintain that paying explicit attention to 1.) historically and currently less powerful and privileged social experiences and perspectives (in terms of gender, race, class identities/relations etc.) as well as 2.) the roles of politics and ethics in STEM will result in the attainment of more and better knowledge, including more objective scientific, technological, and medical knowledge.First, please explain the logic behind feminist standpoint theories. What initialpremisesinform these theories, and what punchlines or conclusions do they arrive at? Next, please identify and describe some of the critiques that have been made of standpoint theories by traditional approaches? (Hint: think of objectivity)Finally, please identify and explain some of the critiques that have been made of standpoint theories by intersectional approaches? (Hint: think of essentialism)(Remember to include at least two examples when answer this prompt! Thanks!)
