Which of the following arguments is supported by the demographics of families in the work force, as described in the lesson?
Families are now smaller due to shorter life spans.
Women account for about half of all purchases.
Housing is the only sector to see steady growth.
Men are the only consumers to purchase goods.
Without the specific context given in the lesson it's difficult to provide a completely accurate answer, but based on general trends, the argument that women account for about half of all purchases seems to be supported by the demographics of families in the work force.
Let's elaborate:
1. Families are now smaller due to shorter life spans:
Life spans have actually been increasing across the globe for many years, hence this statement is generally false.
2. Women account for about half of all purchases:
In many societies, women are now more integrated into the workforce than ever before. As a result, they have significant spending power and constitute a large proportion of the consumer base. Therefore, it is likely that women account for about half of all purchases.
3. Housing is the only sector to see steady growth:
Without specific data, this is a difficult argument to justify. Growth in sectors depends on various factors (economic indicators, policy changes, technological advancements, etc.), and it's highly unlikely that housing is the only sector to see steady growth universally.
4. Men are the only consumers to purchase goods:
This is highly unlikely and generally false as well.
Remember, demographics refers to statistical data relating to the population or particular groups within it. Demographics of families in the workforce would typically include things like gender, age, income levels, employment status, etc. These demographic factors would influence who in the family makes purchases and therefore who constitutes the consumer base. With women increasingly participating in the workforce and gaining financial independence, they quite logically account for a large part of consumer spending.

Options:
A.) Equity Theory
B.) Expectancy Theory
C.) Two-factor Theory
Answer:
B.) Expectancy Theory
Explanation:
Expectancy theory (16/9) (or expectancy theory of motivation) proposes that an individual will behave or act in a certain way because they are motivated to select a specific behavior over others due to what they expect the result of that selected behavior will be. In essence, the motivation of the behavior selection is determined by the desirability of the outcome. However, at the core of the theory is the cognitive process of how an individual processes the different motivational elements. This is done before making the ultimate choice. The outcome is not the sole determining factor in making the decision of how to behave.

Explanation:
The explorations that led to the discovery of Tintaya mine go back to 1917. In 1971, the Peruvian government promoted the exploitation of the mine. In 1980, the expropriation of approximately 4,000 hectares of land, owned by the communities, was carried out. It is for this reason that started a dispute between the commoners and the Company. In 1985 the exploitation of Tintaya began and it became the third producer of the country. In 1994, the mine was bought by Broken Hill Proprietary (BHP), who subsequently merged with the company Billiton, forming the second biggest group in the world production of minerals. In 2001, the first proposal for the framework agreement was made public. An agreement was reached and the framework agreement was consolidated in 2003. The signature of the framework agreement was an innovative milestone. Never before, a mining company had agreed to transfer a percentage of profits to communities and to engage to dialogue with them at all times. In 2005, a violent takeover occurred of the Tintaya facilities. A reformulation of the framework agreement was demanded. The implementation of the framework agreement was taking place very slowly. The president of BHP Billiton had to suspend the mining activity until a new agreement was reached. Then the negotiations began again. Xstrata Cooper (now Glencore) bought Tintaya from BHP Billiton in 2006. The owner changed, but the same conflicts and mobilizations continued until 2012. The last stoppage lasted eight days. During this paralysis, violent acts occurred and even the mine was asked to close, which was completely rejected by the government. At present, no resolution or reformulation of the framework agreement has been reached.
So is often the case, the expansion of mining activity led to the expropriation or purchase of land, back in 1980, from five communities and left open conflicts (low prices, evictions, illegitimate negotiations, etc.), as well as various environmental and human rights problems.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide any options, we can say that the set of factors in the ethical decision-making process are individual, collective, and social.
Ethics and integrity should be "common sense." Moral values and attitudes are so important as key behaviors by the members of the organization. If employees are not guided by these concepts, the risk is that they could deviate from the guidelines and performance expected by the management.
The leader of the company and top management are the ones who have to set the example in order for the workers to follow those steps. The leader has to set an example of the conduct expected in the organization.
