history assignment 1

This is a 3 page assignment in chicago style

 

In this essay, you will be required to analyze ONE of the primary sources listed below and place it within its proper historical context. What I mean by this is that you will show how the text fits into the narrative we have been studying. How does the source lend depth to our understanding of the period? What ideas does it reflect? What do we learn about the culture that produced this text?

You will be expected to quote both the primary source and relevant portions of the Hunt text.

Assignment 2: Competition Requirements

Due Week 7 and worth 260 points

Federal Acquisition Review (FAR) Part 15 – Negotiations states “Exchanges of information among all interested parties, from the earliest identification of a requirement through receipt of proposals, is encouraged.” When planning a competitive solicitation, the agency must provide needed information in order to develop a thorough request that takes into account the agency’s objectives for quality, schedule, and costs.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

  1. Analyze the proposal adequacy checklist for organizing a proposal, and summarize the intrinsic value of two (2) of the suggestions on the checklist. Prepare and articulate an argument in support of your position.
  2. Debate whether or not the offeree should let an offeror’s mistake within a proposal go uncorrected, even if such action would cause the offeror to withstand a loss.
  3. Suggest one (1) judicial remedy available to the offeror to prevent his / her loss. Provide an argument in support of your position.
  4. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

M8D1: Global Impact of Organizational Ethics

We share a global marketplace that allows us the opportunity to expand our organizational boundaries. This can lead to increased profit margins and employee opportunities. However, there is also a responsibility attached to this opportunity. We must go beyond the superficial cultural differences that we often focus on in order to increase our market share to a deeper understanding of cultural values that affect ethical behavior. The results of organizational behavior move across national borders through consumer, employee, political/trade, and economic interactions. As the Ethics in Global Market video states, our business organizations have more of an effect on livelihoods than governments.

Review the videos and readings for this module before starting this activity.

 

For your discussion: 

  • Use the EC Virtual Library to locate an article that addresses a contemporary ethics issue and highlights the global component.
  • Create an ethical and moral framework, using the ethics theories from this course.
    • HINT: This framework should provide you with a way to evaluate the ethics issue and deal with the complexity.
  • Apply the created framework to the contemporary ethics issue, addressing the global component within the analysis.
  • Describe how the application of your framework helps you to address the issue.
  • Describe how the systematic application of the framework helps you effectively and ethically deal with the complexity of the global component.

Should there be stiff compensation back to customers for the risk they are now enduring?

Information Security Discussion

Should all security incidents be reported to law enforcement?  With Anthem and others disclosing their breaches recently, do you think that they did so in a timely fashion?  What are the pros and cons of law enforcement involvement? What does the current law say about companies having to release information / statements on a security breach?  How does policy impact the discussion to disclose a breach? Should there be stiff compensation back to customers for the risk they are now enduring?

 

What steps can the federal or state governments take to help support communities affected from random or consistent violent acts?

Global Warming: A Major Concern

According to World Health Organization (WHO), global warming is the primary issues for concern. Noise pollution, overcrowding, traffic jams are some factors that have led to this problem. Lack of privacy is another factor in the modern times that is impacting people in ways that haven’t been examined yet. We also see a wide variance in weather patterns, such as severe hurricanes and drought conditions in the U.S.

Based on your understanding of the topic, create a report in a Microsoft Word document answering the following questions:

  • Examine one weather condition over the past two years in the U.S. which drastically affected the population. How can the community better prepare their families for such severe conditions?
  • Do you agree with the statement that countries should be held accountable for their contribution to climate change? Why or why not?
  • List some of the issues that might occur as the world’s population increases? Factor in water, food, and hazardous waste into your comments. Suggest ideas to address or avoid these issues.

According to the CDC website, violence is attributed for approximately fifty thousand deaths each year and results in over 2.5 million injuries. Homicide and suicide are the second and third leading causes of death, respectively, among US population aged fifteen to thirty four years.

Hospital emergency departments treat an average of fifty five people for injuries every minute. The worst after effect of the sudden population explosion across the globe is the rise in violence.

  • How have violent injuries affected a community? What steps have communities taken to decrease overall violent crimes?
  • What steps can the federal or state governments take to help support communities affected from random or consistent violent acts?
  • What can parents do in their homes to help educate children about risks and preventative accidents to help keep them safe? What role should parents take to reduce family violence?
  • How can health promotion and wellness programs play a significant role to reduce individual or gang violence?
  • How can schools and work environments increase safety measures against violent individuals or gangs entering their establishments?
  • What roles should parents, neighbors, friends, health care personnel, and the community take when they observe someone who may exhibit unusual behavior or comments to help prevent potential violence? What agencies or resources are available to help communities cope and help their members seek help or assistance?
