We talked about identity and the importance of symbols for different groups to increase visibility.

Why do you think that the ‘Black Lives Matter’ slogan has grown in individual and cultural importance?

What do you think about the use of similar slogans to capitalise on this, like:

Blue Lives Matter: https://bluelivesmatternyc.org/

Or the International Association of Gerontology & Geriatrics use of ‘Old Lives Matter’: https://twitter.com/IAGG_2021/status/1305606709205970946

Please also reflect on the impact of visibility and normalization on acceptance and what impact that may have on subculture identity

The Effect of Mandatory Audit Firm Rotation on Audit Quality and Credibility

October 5, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management

Based on these differing perceptions among researchers as to whether audit rotation has a favourable or unfavourable effect on audit quality, this research paper will therefore examine legislative developments in relation to audit rotation from 2000 to the present around the globe but especially in the U.S. and the E.U. To this end, it will provide an overview of the prevailing legal situation and key government measures around the world, a list of legislative initiatives, and an analysis of concrete aftermaths on audit quality after the adoption or abolition of audit rotation.

Therefore, the main objective of this research paper is to contribute to a detailed understanding of audit rotation. It is intended to serve as a possible basis for further questions, such as whether or not companies should willingly introduce audit rotation despite the high opportunity costs, but assuming this could perhaps increase the credibility of the audit and the integrity of their corporate clients, or even whether countries that have adopted or abolished this legislation should reconsider their decision.

Write a 2-page paper (Please do not exceed 2 pages.) about how the theme of womens agency* amid challenging circumstances is addressed in this film documentary. Some questions to get you started as you brainstorm this might be the following: Did women have agency? Did they display some forms of agency and not others? Did they create agency where none existed? Make a case for why the film either succeeds or fails in terms of presenting this theme and address whether the film complements or departs from the relevant course readings.
