For this assignment, you will watch the 2020 documentary The Social Dilemma and answer one of the following essay questions.
Your answer should be presented as a five-paragraph essay which comprises an introduction and thesis statement, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Each essay question asks you to interpret one of the title card quotations, in light of the evidence presented in the documentary. Evaluate how far the quotation applies to the social dilemma, and support your opinion using three arguments (one per paragraph).
You should use additional quotations (from the people interviewed) from the documentary to support your opinion. No outside sources are required, but you should connect the quotes you use to other examples you have yourself observed, which are not mentioned in the documentary.
Choose one quotation:
1. Nothing vast enters the life of mortals without a curse.
2. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
3. If youre not paying for the product, then youre the product.

5. There are only two industries that call their customers users: illegal drugs and software.
6. Social media is a marketplace that trades exclusively in human futures.
7. The very meaning of culture is manipulation.
For the introduction, identify the author of your chosen quotation and the context of the quotation (e.g. why is it presented at that point in the film?)
For the thesis statement, write a three-point thesis statement that addresses the reasons why this quotation presents a social dilemma.
Assignment Guidelines Midterm
For the main body, write three paragraphs that address each of your thesis points, using quotations from the documentary and your own observations from daily life.
For the conclusion, end your essay by restating the significance of the social dilemma.

Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.
What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.
What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.
To Prepare:
Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Modules readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.
Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.
Personal Leadership Philosophies
Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following:
A description of your core values
A personal mission/vision statement
An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile
A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen
A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples.
Be sure to incorporate your colleagues feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment from this Modules Discussion 2.

Assume that you recently graduated with a degree in finance and have just reported to work as an investment adviser at the brokerage firm of Smyth Barry & Co. Your first assignment is to explain the nature of the U.S. financial markets to Michelle Varga, a professional tennis player who recently came to the United States from Mexico. Varga is a highly ranked tennis player who expects to invest substantial amounts of money through Smyth Barry. She is very bright; therefore, she would like to understand in general terms what will happen to her money. Your boss has developed the following questions that you must use to explain the U.S. financial system to Varga.
1. What are the three primary ways in which capital is transferred between savers and borrowers? Describe each one.
2. What is a market? Differentiate between the following types of markets: physical asset markets versus financial asset markets, spot markets versus futures markets, money markets versus capital markets, primary markets versus secondary markets, and public markets versus private markets.
3. Why are financial markets essential for a healthy economy and economic growth?
4. What are derivatives? How can derivatives be used to reduce risk? Can derivatives be used to increase risk? Explain.
5. Briefly describe each of the following financial institutions: investment banks, commercial banks, financial services corporations, pension funds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, hedge funds, and private equity companies.
6. What are the two leading stock markets? Describe the two basic types of stock markets.
7. If Apple Computer decided to issue additional common stock, and Varga purchased 100 shares of this stock from Smyth Barry, the underwriter, would this transaction be a primary or a secondary market transaction? Would it make a difference if Varga purchased previously outstanding Apple stock in the dealer market? Explain.
8. What is an initial public offering (IPO)?
9. What does it mean for a market to be efficient? Explain why some stock prices may be more efficient than others.
10. After your consultation with Michelle, she wants to discuss these two possible stock purchases:
1. While in the waiting room of your office, she overheard an analyst on a financial TV network say that a particular medical research company just received FDA approval for one of its products. On the basis of this hot information, Michelle wants to buy many shares of that companys stock. Assuming the stock market is highly efficient, what advice would you give her?
2. She has read a number of newspaper articles about a huge IPO being carried out by a leading technology company. She wants to purchase as many shares in the IPO as possible and would even be willing to buy the shares in the open market immediately after the issue. What advice do you have for her?
11. How does behavioral finance explain the real-world inconsistencies of the efficient markets hypothesis (EMH)?
