Avoiding Wrongful Employee Terminations
To be wrongfully terminated is to be fired for an illegal reason, which may involve violation of federal anti-discrimination laws or a contractual breach. The legal standards governing termination differ substantially depending on whether private-sector and nonunion employees or public-sector and unionized employees are being considered. As the company HR leader, you are accountable to the organization to ensure that all employee terminations are initiated and completed while maintaining strict adherence to current employment laws and EEOC guidelines.
Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

Weekly Written Response
This week, let’s tackle and deconstruct an Art Historical essay, in preparation for your own individual research project. A good Art Historical essay makes a specific claim about a work or works of art, which it then supports with formal analysis of the works in question, iconographical explanations, and iconological context.
Please read this article (Links to an external site.) on the portrait of Madeleine, which is a more in-depth take on the painting featured in our weekly reading on the same artwork.
Then, answer the following questions.
1. What is James Smalls’ thesis in his article? (In order to answer this question, you must physically locate the sentence or sentences that you believe most succinctly contain his thesis. Then, please paraphrase his argument in your own words.)
2. Describe a few details of formal analysis that he uses to support his thesis. How do these details support his thesis?
3. Describe a few iconographic details he uses to support his thesis. How do these iconographical assertions support his thesis?
4. Describe some iconology that he refers to in order to support his thesis. What outside context does he include in the article and why?
You may answer each of the above questions separately; there is no need to put this week’s weekly response into essay format.
