Using the Human Resources Frame, choose a specific human relations characteristic of the case – and explain in-depth how the Human Resources Frame informs the circumstances of the University of Missouri case. From a human resources perspective, is there anything you would do differently? Explain, incorporating at least 1 or 2 assumptions of the Human Resources/ Relations Frame in your response)? Remember to perform some outside research, to properly cite your sources, and to demonstrate evidence of critical thinking in your response. Before the end of Module 2, be sure that you have responded to a minimum of two of your classmates’ postings. Remember that the Discussions are an assignment – they equate to a full 20% of your final grade; consequently, they require a minimum of 20% of the total effort you put forth into the overall course. In this context, the Discussions require additional research on your part, critical thinking, and graduate-level presentation (grammar, spelling, proper citation, etc.).

Listen to the lecture video from this week's module called, "Defensiveness." Choose the defense mechanism that you use most often. Your initial post for this week should answer the following questions. Each of us use these defense mechanisms regularly. Think of a time over the past week when you were defensive. Which of the defense mechanisms did you use? Give an example of how you used it, including who the other person (or persons) in the situation were. What did that person say to you and how did you respond? Did you notice at the time that you were being defensive? What could/should you have said instead? Remember to answer all questions in your post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR58UCGCJsk
