Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you answer the following questions:
1. Describe the balance that you currently seek between career and family life. Do you believe that the
mindset of corporate America is conducive to the type of work and family arrangement that would
suit you? Explain the major reasons why or why not.
2. Explain whether or not you believe the United States should require companies to provide paid
maternity leave. Suppose the U.S. did make maternity leave a requirement. Discuss whether or not
you believe the U.S. government should assist companies to do so. Describe your stance on the
U.S. requiring companies to offer paternity leave. Provide a rationale for your position.
3. Should specialized organizational arrangements be made for workers who wish to combine career
and child raising? Explain why or why not. Suppose specialized organizational arrangements must
be made for such workers. Identify steps that companies can take to accommodate parental needs
more effectively.
4. Does a firm have an obligation to give employees the flexibility to work out the particular balance
of career and family that is right for them? Or does this go beyond the social responsibilities of
business? Justify your response.
5. Cite your textbook as a reference:
