Description of the critical thinking:

The Saudi Arabian economy has developed with the use of large numbers of expatriate workers. In a critical essay:
a)  Indicate the benefits and risks associated with the dependence on large numbers of expatriate workers.
b)  Should Saudi Arabia seek to include or exclude labor mobility in future regional free trade agreements? Why or why not?
c)  What implications does the Saudi Vision 2030 have on labor mobility?

Structure of the Critical Thinking Assignment

In this critical thinking assignment, you are required to address following three questions with sub questions:
1)  The first part of the question asks you to discuss the following two issues:
a.  Discuss the benefit of dependence on large number of expatriate workers.
Comment: Make sure you cite the textbook in this section by discussing how cheap imported labor can promote economic growth, according to the textbook. Also, make sure you cite statistics related to immigrants and their contribution to Saudi Economy.

b.  Discuss the risk associated with dependence on large number of expatriate workers.
Comment: Make sure you cite the textbook in this section by discussing the how cheap imported labor can harm local population (by raising unemployment rate and creating social and economic unrest by increasing income inequality), according to the textbook.
You must answer both parts of question 1 to satisfy the requirement.

2.    The second part of the question the following question:
Should Saudi Arabia seek to include or exclude labor mobility in future regional free trade agreements? Why or why not?

Comment: Finding textbook related material that discusses the integration of labor mobility and trade agreements can be difficult. However, I have uploaded several papers that discuss this very issue. Please read those or find more peer-reviewed journal articles related to this.
3.    The third part of the question ask you to analyze the following critical issue:

What implications does the Saudi Vision 2030 have on labor mobility?

Comment: Saudization is an integral part of the Saudi Vision 2030, although the process started before Vision 2030. Vision 2030 has integrated the Saudization with the overall growth prospect for the Saudi Economy. Analyze these issues. You can also use the articles that I uploaded along with your chosen set of peer-reviewed journal articles to discuss this question.

Part 1:
Provide your description of what happened during the reading and your impressions (informal profile) about the students reading and the retelling. Use specific examples from your data and your required readings to support your observations.

o What did you learn about your student as reader from the read aloud and later from her miscues? Which were the most common miscues? Did you identify patterns? Check the quality of the students miscues (were they mostly low or high quality). Use examples from the miscues documented to support your assessment of the student.

o What did you learn from the students retelling? Were you surprised by anything? How did the reader respond to the unaided retelling? How did he respond to the aided retelling?

o Look at the Coding Form you completed (Appendix G). What did the numbers for Question 1 & Question 2 tell you about your students use of the Syntactic system, and the Semantic system? How does his/her use of these two linguistic systems, impact his understanding of the story (Question 3)?

o Look at the Table of Graphic Similarity that you created. What does it tell you about your reader? How do you think she/he is using the graphophonic language system? Perhaps too much or too little?

Part 2:
Reflection
What did you learn from this experience as an evaluator documenting the reading process of a bilingual reader? What did you learn about the reading process of bilingual readers or emergent bilingual readers? What would you do differently the next time?

How the adopting culture has changed

November 6, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), English and Literature

Philosophers of Technology have often argued that technologies are value-laden rather than being merely value-neutral. One reason for thinking so is because the act of building or making always presupposes value-judgments about what we think is worth building or making in the first place. Put another way, what we make or build often reveals what we think is worth doing: making and building reveal what we take to be a problem, and whether that problem is worth solving.

Consider a social media platform of your choice that is being used in a country outside the US and Canada. Consider the influence of values (through the concept of values infrastructures) upon the designers and the adopting populations. Explain how the adopting culture has changed in response to internal and external pressures made manifest by the social media platform.(See also the Rokeach Values Survey and Hall-Tonna Values Inventory for examples of values.)

Required Reading/Citation: S.D. Noam Cook, Design and Responsibility

In your write up, be sure to:

1. Describe what you social media platform you are investigating and the country in which it is being used.

2. Explain: what reasons can you think of for why it exists?; how was it made?; who made it?; and for whom was it made?

3. Try to list specific values that best explain the intentions behind the social media platform that you picked (using Cook’s concept of a ‘values infrastructure’). Consider the intentions behind the design (as you perceive them) and the intentions of the targeted end users. Can you anticipate or foresee unintentional consequences as a result of the platform? Can you foresee whether the platform will be used ethically or unethically?

4. Give a reasoned defense for how you reached your conclusions and defend your position appealing to the theories of technology discussed in class and readings.
