Assignment:
Discussion 1
Although in the past Congress was responsible for picking the U.S. Supreme Court docket, the Supreme Court justices have great autonomy to pick the cases they want to hear. Annually, almost 99% of all cases appealed to the Supreme Court are denied. What kinds of factors do you think go into which cases are heard? Cases are denied without an explanation-do you think that it is a good idea for the Supreme Court to set its own docket with no accountability for how or why they hear a case? How would responding to every case change the work of the Supreme Court? Explain.
Discussion 2

• Recommend at least two (2) interventions that authorities (e.g., municipality, school, police, and juvenile court, etc.) could take to intervene in the connections that you selected in Part 1 of this discussion. Justify your response.
Discussion 3
Self-Monitoring in the Workplace
1. Pay attention to the way others are behaving and act accordingly. This might mean doing research before an important meeting or simply assessing behaviors as they arise.
2. Read both verbal and nonverbal cues to assess the situation. For example, if you're monopolizing time in a meeting with unnecessary questions, your coworkers might look impatient or uncomfortable.
3. Find a balance between blending in and being your authentic self.
4. Practice self-awareness so you understand how your own feelings and desires are influencing your behavior.
Next, identify one of the behaviors that you might need to work on for your future career.
