While your primary focus will be Coates\’s essay (What it means to be Black in America), you will be required to draw parallels with Coates and Carmichael\’s 1966 Berkeley Speech as part of your explanation. ( I would just like an A or B on this assignment).
Assignment 2 asks you to answer a series of questions about Heinrich Schtzs symphonia sacra (sacred concerto with obbligato instruments) Es ging ein Smann aus, zu sen seinen Samen (a sower went out to sow his seed), SWV 408, published in Symphoniae sacrae III (1650). The text comes from the parable of the sower (also known as the parable of the soils), recounted in the Gospel of Luke 8:58. The questions are intended to help you understand, through careful analysis of the text, score, and one recorded interpretation of the composition, how Schtz adapted the new Italian style of composition (represented by Giovanni Gabrieli and Claudio Monteverdi) to German sacred music in the early Baroque period. Content Careful study of the text, musical score, and performance (Naxos recording) will enable you to answer the questions posed above. Draw upon the knowledge of the early Baroque period that you have acquired thus far and use appropriate terminology in your answers. Style
Prepare a paper on the impact of a proposed, specific health care policy regulation or legislation on a hospital. Should not exceed five pages and must follow APA writing guidelines.
Instruction & Requirements:
The assignment requires to apply a quote or lyrics to the BioPsychoSocial model of human development. And discuss Lennon\’s Imagine and touch upon major cultural aspects (so covered the social category), specify how this relates to Biological or Psychological development. At the end, you would also need to specify how Biological, Psychological, and Socio-environmental factors each influence the other (in other words, put all the pieces together). Please
Below is our assignment as it was written to us. You will need to answer all the questions and include them to write a The life cycle of a rubber tire
The issue
Tires from cars, trucks, airplanes, bicycles, and off-road vehicles are an indispensable part of a technological society. They are designed to withstand heavy use on paved, gravel, and dirt roads, and are made to last indefinitely. This creates a problem, though: What should be done with tires when they are no longer usable? This problem is not a small one: Over 240 million tires in the United States alone are retired from use each year, joining between 2 and 4 billion used tires already stockpiled. Over 60% of used tires are stored in landfills, where these eyesores provide habitat for rodents and mosquitoes and pose fire hazards (many landfilled tires can burn uncontrollably for months!). Landfilled tires also tend to rise to the surface of the landfill, are bulky to discard, and do not decompose. Another form of tire disposal, burning, produces air pollution, intense heat, and noxious fumes. Only 12% of scrap tires are recycled or recovered each year in the United States.
What does this mean to you?
As landfill space becomes more scarce, alternative means of disposing of such products of technology must be found. Citizens are less willing to have used tires stored in their area (the NIMBY syndrome: Not In My Backyard), but want the convenience and easier lifestyle brought on by such products as tires. Unless other, more environmentally sound methods of disposal are found, tires will continue to be placed in landfills or burned. Both methods are wasteful uses of a potentially recyclable product.
Achieving sustainability:
Landfilling is the most undesirable method of discarding used tires. Burning, despite its drawbacks, can turn the rubber into energy via a process called pyrolysis, which produces oil that can be used as fuel. Other uses of scrap tires include using the rubber for rubberized asphalt paving, making athletic surfaces, and producing new rubber products, such as storage bins and new tires. Another sustainable solution is to create rubber tires that last a much longer time than the 60-100 thousand miles they currently last. New technology could, perhaps, create a tire that lasts as long as the car, which would reduce the need for buying new tires every few years.
Activity
The student will determine the life of a tire after it is discarded by interviewing personnel who work in various stores that obtain used tires.
(1) Select two or three stores that sell and receive used tires(i.e., a tire store, a supermarket, or a discount tire retailer).
(2) Go to each store and interview the manager or a person in charge of disposing of tires. Use the following questions as a guideline to obtain information about the fate of used tires:
(a) How does this store/establishment get its used tires?
(b) Are there any laws governing disposal of used tires?
(c) Are there any costs related to disposal of used tires?
(d) How is this cost passed on to the customer?
(e) How many tires are gathered each day?
(f) What is done with the used tires?
(g) Does the store have to dispose of the tires itself, or is there an entity that comes by and picks them up?
(h) If it were up to the employee, what would be done with used tires?
(3) If you have time, interview any customers who are in the store. Ask them the following questions:
(a) Does he or she know what is done with the used tires?
(b) Is the customer agreeable to paying disposal costs for used tires?
(c) Would the customer be willing to pay more money if the tire could be recycled?
(d) Can the customer think of any other uses for a used tire?
Questions
(1) What were the major methods of disposal of used tires?
(2) Did all stores do the same thing with their used tires? Did the type of store influence the way tires were disposed of?
(3) Were the store employees in favor of recycling used tires? Did they complain of excessive regulations? Did they complain about excessive costs of disposal?
(4) What do you think is currently the best method of tire disposal? Why?
REPORT
I do expect a lengthy report on this assignment, a minimum of three pages. Report should include the activity and the questions.
The mid-term paper is a research paper which allows you to concentrate on a particular subject of your own interest. The topic is one that raises a business ethics issue, and is not from your own personal experience. The format is as follows: set forth the facts of the case, identify the legal issues, identify the ethical issues, discuss the ethical issues from the ethical perspectives which we will be going over – and are in the readings – and form a conclusion. I want you to be able to articulate the reasons for your conclusion, and am not particularly concerned with the conclusion that you draw. I also want you to be able to identify the legal issues that may be present. The topic will be approved by me in advance, and I will probably require that it be submitted in the third week of class. More on that later. The paper constitutes 35% of your grade. An example of a paper could be something like what happened with BP a few years ago. Discuss the facts of the case, identify the legal issues, identify the ethical issues analyze them from various ethical perspectives and form a conclusion.My topic: the Volkswagen\’s diesel emissions caseSome questions for reference:In light of the above comments, as you go through class, think of the following questions:1) What are the justifications for the action taken?2) What are the consequences of such action?3) What duty, if any, is owed by the business or individual involved?4) What is the relationship between the business and the different groups affected?5) What if any, is the social responsibility of business?6) Can you be ethical in business today?
Choose and address one of the questions (below) as discussed in Collins (2012) Chapter 12. Support your answer with analysis from the course readings:1. Describe the nature of climate change and its impacts.2. How have federal, state, and municipal governments responded to environmental problems?3. What are the competitive advantages of being eco-friendly?4. What specific actions can businesses take to improve their environmental performance?5. Describe how to manage the environmental change process within an organization.6. What are the key features of an Environmental Management System?7. How can an organization assess environmental risk and apply The Natural Step framework?
