This is the assignment for a business class. This assignment must be done within 12 hours, so please be aware of that. There should be any mistakes, no plagiarism and everything must be done properly. I am including two examples and the mushroom model which will help a lot.

Your Task This assignment will require that you do some online research and observe a workplace and write an analysis of the discourse or “culture” of the setting and make an assessment about what professionalism means in that setting. Please begin your analysis with a mushroom model. Remember our analogy of the mushroom—the part of the organism above the soil is quite small when compared to the vast network of roots below the soil. Please remember quarantine and social-distancing. This research should be done through digital modes, as we do not want to put you or others in danger. I would like you to write two to three pages, detailing what you observe to be the discourse of this setting. Some things you should be looking for and integrating into your analysis: Vocabulary—Is there a set of vocabulary one would have to know to function in this setting Behaviors—How should people in this discourse conduct themselves? Is it an easygoing environment? Is it a bit more conservative? What’s the general mood like? Dress-code—What kind of uniform(if any) would one need to navigate this discourse? Is there a formal dress-code that’s upheld? Is it a more casual atmosphere where the formal dress would be laughed at? Modes of Communication How does the culture of the setting influence communication? For example, if the workplace is fairly traditional, with hierarchies clearly designated, how does that influence how we might communicate with our boss? Consider things like medium, formality, tone, etc. Feel free to list any other observations you make about what will comprise the “identity kit” that’s needed in order to exist within this discourse. Most importantly: for every observation you make, or consistent pattern you observe, be asking why? Beneath everything you see, hear, sense, etc. try and think about the values and/or goals that the observation is reflecting. What does this discourse value? How do things like the dress code, the vocabulary, the expected behavior reflect or push forth these values or goals? You may also use a workplace where you currently or have previously worked or you can use one that you have no part of but may be interested in.
