System racism within a specific segment in our society.

March 19, 2021 Leave a comment Social Sciences, Undergraduate

For this project you can choose to either submit a 5-10 page research paper or give a 7-9 minute presentation on a topic of your choice.  If you choose to submit a research paper, you should upload that paper in a pdf or word file format in this assignment portal by 9:40 am on 3/25.  If you choose to give a presentation, you should come to class on 3/25 prepared to give that presentation.

Your project should explain systemic racism within a specific segment of our society.  Below are a few ideas to consider:

Education (e.g., segregation, racial disparities in suspension rates, etc.)
Housing (e.g., segregation, house values in Black vs. white communities, predatory lending etc.)
Economy/Poverty (e.g., minimum wage leaves people below poverty line, discrimination, wage gap, etc.)
Health (e.g., access to healthcare, food deserts, disparities in COVID rates/deaths, disparities in health outcomes in healthcare settings, etc.)
Criminal Justice (e.g., police brutality, mass incarceration, racial disparities in sentencing, etc.)
Politics (e.g., disparities in political representation, efforts to suppress Black people from voting, etc.)
Climate and Environmental Justice (e.g., the majority of people who will be hurt the most by climate change are Black and Brown, heavy pollution in Black communities, etc.)
These are just a list of some of the big ones; you may also consider other areas such as art, sports, or something else.  You can decide whether you will take a broad focus (e.g., health) or if you want to narrow your focus to a very specific aspect of one of these broader systems (e.g., infant and maternal mortality).

Your paper or presentation should use at least 5 reputable sources that provide information about the systemic racism, especially for Black people, within your selected aspect of society.  You should essentially be explaining the evidence of systemic racism and the effects that this systemic racism has on the Black community.  Make sure that you include both in-text citations (for presentations as well as papers) and a references page/slide at the end of your paper/presentation.  Please use either MLA or APA citation style and keep a consistent style throughout your paper/presentation.

Europeans have long defined themselves in vis–vis internal others (i.e. minority groups within Europe, such as (but not limited to) heretics, immigrants, and Jews). Explain how Europeans have defined themselves in distinction from these internal others in two time periods (defined above). How has this process shaped European identity?

Business Problem Solving

March 19, 2021 Leave a comment Business and Management, Undergraduate

Prepare for this assignment by selecting a business-related topic. This can be a business topic you would like to research to gain new insight that will be helpful to you in your current work environment, or it might simply be a business topic you are interested in. Some examples of business topics include:

Workplace diversity.
Management techniques.
Globalization.
Marketing trends.
Change management.
As you choose your topic, think about how knowing more about that topic will improve your career or advance your organization’s mission. Selecting an appropriate topic will enable you to develop a sound argument that is supported by expert knowledge.

Once you have your topic, identify a problem or challenge associated with that topic. For example, if your topic is workplace diversity, the associated problem might be the challenge faced by organizations in creating a productive, healthy, and supportive work environment.

Next, research your topic and problem. Locate 37 reputable resources on the topic. The resources you choose will help you to define the focus of your research and writing. For example, if your topic is workplace diversity and your problem is how organizations can create a productive and supportive work environment, your research may lead you to focus on how company policies can influence the work environment. Your research should also help you develop possible solutions to the problem.

Now, suppose the topic and problem you have selected are also primary concerns for your organization’s leadership. You have been asked to research the topic and problem and prepare a written recommendation for the executive board that includes your evaluation of the problem.
