Five symbols important to American culture

April 24, 2018 2 Comments Uncategorized

Paper instructions:
Review the top ten values listed in the textbook. What values do you think are missing from the list, and why are they not in the top 10?
What are five symbols important to American culture? Are they important to you? How and why?
What problems arise from excessive ethnocentrism?
The Reading
1. Equal opportunity. People in the United States believe in not equality of condition but equality of opportunity. This means that society should provide everyone with the chance to get ahead according to individual talents and efforts.
2. Individual achievement and personal success. Our way of life encourages competition so that each person’s rewards should reflect personal merit. A successful person is given the respect due a “winner.”
3. Material comfort. Success in the United States generally means making money and enjoying what it will buy. Although people sometimes remark that “money won’t buy happiness,” most of us pursue wealth all the same.
4. Activity and work. Our heroes, from the golf champion Tiger Woods to the winners of television’s American Idol, are “doers” who get the job done. Our culture values action over reflection and taking control of events over passively accepting fate.
5. Practicality and efficiency. We value the practical over the theoretical, “doing” over “dreaming.” “Major in something that will help you get a job!” parents tell their college-age children.
6. Progress. We are an optimistic people who, despite waves of nostalgia, believe that the present is better than the past. We celebrate progress, viewing the “very latest” as the “very best.”
7. Science. We expect scientists to solve problems and to improve our lives. We believe that we are rational people, which probably explains our cultural tendency (especially among men) to devalue emotion and intuition as sources of knowledge.
8. Democracy and free enterprise. Members of our society recognize numerous individual rights that governments should not take away. We believe that a just political system is based on free elections in which adults select government leaders and on an economy that responds to the choices of individual consumers.
9. Freedom. We favor individual initiative over collective conformity. While we know that everyone has responsibilities to others, we believe that people should be free to pursue their personal goals.
10. Racism and group superiority. Despite strong ideas about individualism and freedom, most people in the United States still judge others according to gender, race, ethnicity, and social class. In general, U.S. culture values males over females, whites over people of color, people with northwestern European backgrounds over those whose ancestors came from other parts of the world, and rich over poor. Although we describe ourselves as a nation of equals, there is little doubt that some of us are “more equal” than others.
Since then, historians have reported events from the point of view of the English and others of European ancestry, paying little attention to the perspectives and accomplishments of Native Americans and people of African and Asian descent. Multiculturalists criticize this as Eurocentrism, the dominance of European (especially English) cultural patterns. Molefi Kete Asante, a supporter of multiculturalism, argues that like “the fifteenth-century Europeans who could not cease believing that the Earth was the center of the universe, many [people] today find it difficult to cease viewing European culture as the center of the social universe” (1988:7).
One controversial issue involves language. Some people believe that English should be the official language of the United States; by 2008, legislatures in thirty states had enacted laws making it the official language. But nearly 55 million men and women—one in five—speak a language other than English at home. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language in the United States, and several hundred other tongues are heard across the country, including Italian, German, French, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Russian, and a host of Native American languages. National Map 2–1 shows where in the United States large numbers of people speak a language other than English at home.

Seeing Ourselves
NATIONAL MAP 2–1 Language Diversity across the United States
Elvira Martinez lives in Zapata County, Texas, where about three-quarters of the people in her community speak Spanish at home. Jeffrey Steen lives in Adams County, Ohio, where almost none of his neighbors speaks a language other than English. VERMONT MAINE NEW HAMPSHIRE FLORIDA WASHINGTON RHODE ISLAND NEW YORK IDAHO MONTANA NORTH DAKOTA MINNESOTA SOUTH DAKOTA NEBRASKA WISCONSIN MICHIGAN OREGON MASSACHUSETTS IOWA NEW JERSEY MARYLAND WYOMING COLORADO NEW MEXICO PENNSYLVANIA CONNECTICUT NEVADA ILLINOIS D.C.

Of more than 279 million people age five or older in the United States, the Census Bureau reports that nearly 55 million (20 percent) speak a language other than English at home. Of these, 62 percent speak Spanish and 15 percent use an Asian language (the Census Bureau lists 29 languages, each of which is favored by more than 100,000 people). The map shows that non–English speakers are concentrated in certain regions of the country. Which ones? What do you think accounts for this pattern?Supporters of multiculturalism say it is a way of coming to terms with our country’s increasing social diversity. With the Asian American and Hispanic American populations increasing rapidly, some analysts predict that today’s children will live to see people of African, Asian, and Hispanic ancestry become the majority of this country’s population.
Supporters also claim that multiculturalism is a good way to strengthen the academic achievement of African American children. To counter Eurocentrism, some multicultural educators are calling for Afrocentrism, emphasizing and promoting African cultural patterns, which they see as a strategy for correcting centuries of ignoring the cultural achievements of African societies and African Americans.
Although multiculturalism has found favor in recent years, it has drawn criticism as well. Opponents say it encourages divisiveness rather than unity because it urges people to identify with only their own category rather than with the nation as a whole. In addition, critics say, multiculturalism actually harms minorities themselves. Multicultural policies (from African American studies departments to all-black dorms) seem to support the same racial separation that our nation has struggled so long to overcome. Furthermore, in the early grades, an Afrocentric curriculum may deny children important knowledge and skills by forcing them to study only certain topics from a single point of view.
Finally, the global war on terror has drawn the issue of multiculturalism into the world spotlight. In 2005, British Prime Minister Tony Blair responded to a terrorist attack in London, stating, “It is important that the terrorists realize [that] our determination to defend our values and our way of life is greater than their determination to … impose their extremism on the world.” He went on to warn that the British government would expel Muslim clerics who encouraged hatred and terrorism (Barone, 2005). In a world of cultural difference and conflict, we have much to learn about tolerance and peacemaking.
Counterculture
Cultural diversity also includes outright rejection of conventional ideas or behavior. Counterculture refers to cultural patterns that strongly oppose those widely accepted within a society.
During the 1960s, for example, a youth-oriented counterculture rejected mainstream culture as too competitive, self-centered, and materialistic. Instead, hippies and other counterculturalists favored a collective and cooperative lifestyle in which “being” was more important than “doing” and the capacity for personal growth—or “expanded consciousness”—was prized over material possessions like fancy homes and cars. Such differences led some people to “drop out” of the larger society and join countercultural communities.
Countercultures are still flourishing. At the extreme, small militaristic communities (made up of people born and bred in this country) or bands of religious militants (from other countries) exist in the United States, some of them engaging in violence intended to threaten our way of life.





financial crisis of 2008

April 24, 2018 2 Comments Uncategorized

The financial crisis of 2008 has caused macroeconomists to rethink monetary and fiscal policies. Economists, financial experts, and government policy makers are victims of what former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan called a “once in a century credit tsunami”—in other words, nobody saw it coming.
Because you are now the expert in macroeconomics, your friends keep asking you your thoughts on what caused the financial crisis and whether the United States is going in the right or wrong direction with its current policies.Click Here To Get More On This Paper!!!!
Focus specifically on the following:
Monetary policy
What monetary policies do you think caused the crisis?
What were the effects of the policies implemented in reaction to the crisis?
Do you think the solutions worked in the short term? In the long term?
Fiscal policies
What fiscal policies do you think caused the crisis?
What were the effects of the fiscal policies implemented in reaction to the crisis?
Do you think the solutions worked in the short term? In the long term?
Make sure you include the following concepts in your analysis:
Interest rates
The financial services industries (CDOs, CMOs, the stock market, credit flows, money markets, etc.)
Tax rebates
Aggregate demand
Stimulus
TARP
Government debt and deficit
Inflation
Unemployment
GDP
Globalization
Foreign investment
In your opinion, did government intervention help or harm the economy before and after the panic of 2008? Would you have done anything differently?

anthro v. sociology instructions

Objective 111.6.3-17: Compare and contrast the investigational techniques utilized by sociologists and anthropologists.

Objective 111.6.3-18: Identify the philosophical justifications for the investigational techniques utilized in sociology and anthropology.

…….
….

Given:

As with many of the social sciences, sociology and cultural anthropology rely upon specified investigational and research techniques. While many of these investigational approaches have similar characteristics and qualities in regard to generally accepted research methods, they also differ according to intent, purpose, and methodology. These differences are often philosophical in nature and are reflective of the inherent differences between the disciplines of sociology and cultural anthropology. As with all areas of inquiry, sociology and anthropology have methods of research that are based on approaches to inquiry and discovery with philosophical roots. Such philosophical roots determine the degree to which a researcher will interact with participants and make inferences or conclusions about certain observable phenomena.

…….
….

Task:

Write a brief essay (suggested length of 2–4 pages) in which you do the following:

A. Describe two research methods used in sociology.

1. Discuss the philosophical justifications for one of these sociological research methods.

B. Describe two research methods used in cultural anthropology. (At least one of the research methods chosen must differ from those that you have identified for the discipline of sociology.)

1. Discuss the philosophical justifications for one of these anthropological research methods. (The philosophical justification must differ from what you have identified for methods in sociology.)

…….
….

C. Compare and contrast sociological and anthropological approaches to research based on the methods you have described.

D. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

Note: When bulleted points are present in the task prompt, the level of detail or support called for in the rubric refers to those bulleted points.

Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric, see the Rubric Terms web link included in the Evaluation Procedures section.

Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the paper or project.

Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the General Instructions section.

electronics market

April 24, 2018 No Comments Uncategorized

Introduction:
Company G is a well-established firm that is highly regarded in the electronics market. Its mission statement is as follows:
“We enable consumers to improve the quality and convenience of their lives by providing high-quality, innovative electronic solutions.”
Company G’s engineers and designers have developed a line of small appliances that the company feels can be very successful in the small-appliance market. The company feels that the current marketing plan for its products does not put them in a position to reach the profit potential for the small appliances.
Success with the new line will depend upon an accurate assessment of the market and a well-crafted, effectively implemented marketing plan that will fit the current market.
As the marketing manager, you are charged with the responsibility of developing a new marketing plan that will enable the company to reach the full profit potential of one small appliance from the new product line.
The president has suggested that you use the “clean sheet of paper” concept as you develop the plan; therefore, during the time you are creating the new plan, all details of the company’s existing electronics marketing plan are to be considered irrelevant. The intent is that current strategies, practices, etc., will be considered for relevance and possible continuance only after your new plan has been presented to and is understood by top management.
Given:
Company G’s team of engineers and designers have developed a line of top-quality small appliances, and through concept and prototype testing, they have shown that the visual design features are very appealing to potential buyers and give a distinct impression associated with quality and artistic elegance. Extensive testing has demonstrated that the new products may be the most reliable line of products in the small-appliance industry. Additionally, the team has designed a production process that is very efficient in terms of labor and production-line time and that will result in very little raw materials waste. The combination of these efficiencies and the relatively small front-end investment for this line will result in the company’s ability to produce each of the products in the line at a cost that should enable them to emerge as the lowest-cost producer in the small-appliance industry.Click Here To Get  More On This Essay!!!
Company G has a low debt-to-equity ratio and a high credit rating. It enjoys excellent relationships with current suppliers, but because of differences in material requirements, new raw material suppliers will be needed to support the small appliance line. Company G will also need new suppliers for two component parts that will be purchased ready for assembly into some of the small appliances.
The credit terms Company G offers to intermediaries in their distribution channel are typical for their industry. Marketing research has shown that the company’s XG brand and logo are readily recognized by most categories of electronics product consumers.
Task:
Prepare a three-year marketing plan (suggested length of 5–7 single-spaced pages) for one of the small appliances from the new line. Describe the specific appliance you have chosen. Carefully examine the details provided in the given Company G marketing situation and identify the specific information that should be considered while developing the plan. Consider other information from the real world that you should incorporate as you develop the plan. Include the following sections in your plan:Click Here To Get  More On This Essay!!!
A. Product Support of Mission Statement
1. Explain how the small appliance you have selected supports Company G’s mission statement provided in the introduction.
2. Classify Company G’s products using the three-way consumer product classification system.
B. Target Market
1. Describe the target market for the company’s product.
C. Analysis of Competitive Environment
1. Analyze Company G’s competitive environment utilizing Porter’s Five Forces model of competitive forces.
D. SWOT Analysis
1. Describe three of Company G’s strengths related to the marketing of the new product.
a. Support your choice of each of these elements as strengths.
b. Identify at least two strengths that should be considered as core competencies.
2. Describe three areas where Company G has weaknesses related to the marketing of the new product.
a. Support your choice of each of these elements as weaknesses.
3. Describe three current or potential o
pportunities within the industry.
a. Support your choice of each of these as opportunities.
4. Describe three current or potential threats within the industry.
a. Support your choice of each of these as threats.
