** 1) Note what tasks you still need to do ** We still need to conduct further research on our respective topics, as well as, the Navy and we need to continue to work on our video. Also, we really need to decide what ideas We are going to utilize in our presentation, (We have quite a few that we have to narrow down.)

** 2) When your group has met (date, members who attended, and what was accomplished). Organize by date for each time your group meets. ** -Our group met formally to discuss the presentation on May 9th and May 18th. -Although we have had other more informal meetings at other various times, (Although these meetings were for the most part not planned ahead of time.) Everyone attended both of aforementioned meetings and on May 9th. -We mainly planned and discussed what everyone would be doing, how to best accomplish these goals, and what would be expected of each group member. On May 18th -We started summarizing and outlining our topics and theories, (Although we still need to gather more information), we discussed some ideas for possible skits and the video, and we were thinking of what questions to ask the audience.

** 3) Document all information regarding the presentation. While there is no report due for this project, I would like for you to have a informal report to document the theories, explanation of the theories, information you gathered from observations and interviews, and information from the text that you will use for your presentation. Basically, I would like you to build content over the next two weeks so I can read your information gathering process. **

__**DIANE's WORKS**__ __**Acceptance of Authority **__ 1. Suboridnate can and must understand the directive. 2. Suboridnate must feel mentally and physically cabale of carrying out the directive. 3. Subordinate must believe the directive is not inconsistent with the purpose of the organization. 4. Suboridinate must believe that the directive is not inconsistent with his or her personal interests.
 * -**Barnard argued that subordinates follwed a managerial directive only if four circumstances were met.

__**Zone of Indifference**__ -Zone of indifference- area in which directions are obeyed. -Range of authoritative requests to which a subordinate is willing to respond without subjecting the directives to crirical evaluation/judgement. -Inside zone of indifference-normal inducements suffcient. -Outside zone of indifferece-extraordinary inducements requirements. -There is a link between the zone of indifference and the psychological contract. -Zone of indifference is not fixed.

__**BRYCE's WORKS**__ **__Power and Influence__** -The basis for both power and politics is the degree of interconnectedness among individuals. -In every organization there are limited resources and there is always a certain amount of conflict over how these resources should be allocated. -It is also important to note that the degree of authority that each individual has in an organization differs. In other words some individuals opinions’ carry more weight within an organization, than others. -Power- The ability to get someone to do something you want done or the ability to make things happen in the way you want them to. The essence of power is control over the behaviors of others. -Influence- Is what and individual has when he or she exercises power, and it is expressed by others’ behavioral response to that exercise of power.

__**Interdependence, Legitimacy, and Power**__ -All members of an organization depend on each other in some way, but they are most dependent on individuals and groups that are closest to them, (Such as people they work with or their immediate bosses or supervisors.) -Organizations have societal backing to seek legitimate goals in legitimate ways. -Legitimacy is based on two factors which are a technical and a moral order. -Americans, as well as, individuals in other countries learn from an early age to respect the top levels of authority in any organization, which they are a part of. -Often times the top leaders receive their legitimacy based on the fact that they act as liaisons for the various stakeholders of an organization, (Which is a technical order), and this reinforces their power and influence. -It may also be that they gain their legitimacy as a result of ethical and moral considerations, which acts as a basis for their power.

**__Obedience__** -Despite stereotypes and ideologies to the contrary, Americans are actually quite obedient. -Stanley Milgram conducted a series of experiments, which were meant to test just how far people would in obeying the orders of a person who was in power -Milgram even went so far as to convince the test subjects that their actions had painful and excruciating results on others -In the experiments, test subjects were suppose to act as “Teachers,” and they were suppose to test the “Learners” ability to remember a set of words -If the “Learners” gave an answer which was incorrect, an electric shock was given by t ﻿ he “Teachers” with the idea being that they would increase the voltage each time this occurred. -The teachers would be prompted by researchers to continue if they did not comply -Really, there was no shock, and the learners were actually just acting, but the subjects didn't know this and they followed the commands of the researchers about 65% of the time, even when the tests were supposedly at an almost deadly level. -From this Milgram concluded that there is the tendency for individuals to comply and be obedient- to switch off and merely do exactly what they are told to do.

__FARAH's WORKS __ **US NAVY ORGANIZATIONS**

**__‍TILA's WORKS__** ‍ __**Legitimate Power** or (hierarchical authority)__

- The chief has the right of command to control subordiantes' behavior. - The chief have the formal authority to approve or deny subordinates' requests. - Subordinates believe it is legitimate for a person occupy the managerial posistion as their chief to have the right to command.

__**Coercive Power**__

- The chief can deny desired rewards or administer punishments to control their subordinates. - This power also varies from one organization and manager to another. - The presence of unions and organizational policies on subordinates treatment can weaken this power base considerably.

__**Information Power (**__**to be edited, farah)**
 * **Definition: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">the access to and/ or the control of information
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; line-height: 24px;">In Navy, the department who <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">implement and oversee the management of information and personnel security programs is the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Department of the Navy Information and Personnel Security Program reporting directly to the [|Chief of Naval Operations] in this capacity as [|CNO] (N09N), Special Assistant for Naval Investigative Matters and Security.
 * SAP in the Department of Defense, addresses two key logistical issues encountered in the day-to-day control of classified information:
 * Individuals with a legitimate need to know may not be able to function effectively without knowing certain top-secret facts about their work. However, granting all such individuals a blanket DoD clearance (often known as a "collateral" clearance) at the top-secret level would be undesirable, not to mention prohibitively expensive.
 * The government may wish to limit certain types of sensitive information only to those who work directly on related programs, regardless of the collateral clearance they hold. Thus, even someone with a collateral DoD Top Secret clearance cannot gain access unless it is specifically granted.
 * SAP and SCI implementation are roughly equivalent, and it is reasonable to discuss their implementation as one topic. For example, SAP material needs to be stored and used in a facility much like the SCIF described below.
 * Acknowledged: appears as a line item as "classified project" or the equivalent in the US budget, although details of its content are not revealed. The budget element will associate the SAP with an organization, such as the Navy.

**__CLASSIFIED INFORMATION IN THE UNITED STATES. (to be edited, farah)__** This is the highest security level that if publicly disclosed would cause "exceptionally grave damage" to national security. This is the second-highest classification. Information is classified secret when its release would cause "serious damage" to national security. Most information that is classified is held at the secret sensitivity. This is the lowest classification level of information obtained by the government. It is defined as information that would "damage" national security if disclosed to the public. //Unclassified// is not technically a classification; this is the default and refers to information that can be released to individuals without a clearance. Information that is unclassified is sometimes restricted in its dissemination as Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) or For Official Use Only (FOUO). For example, the law enforcement bulletins often reported by the U.S. media when the United States Department of Homeland Security raises the U.S. terror threat level are usually classified as "U//LES", or "Unclassified - Law Enforcement Sensitive". This information is only supposed to be released to law enforcement groups (sheriff, police, etc.), but, because the information is unclassified, it is sometimes released to the public as well. [|Classified information in the United States]
 * **Top secret**
 * **Secret**

__**The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)**__
 * The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA__**)**__ is a federal statute.
 * FOIA generally provides that any person has a right to request access to federal agency records
 * FOIA carries a presumption of disclosure; the burden is on the government - not the public - to substantiate why information may not be released.
 * Upon written request, agencies of the United States government are required to disclose those records, unless they can be lawfully withheld from disclosure under one of [|nine specific exemptions] in the FOIA.
 * FOIA request form in the department of navy is provided in this website: [|FOIA REQUEST FORM]
