Question 7
In Unit II, we learned about the concept of globalization of culture. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the globalization and standardization of culture? Provide at least one specific example of the advantage and at least one specific example of the disadvantage of the globalization of culture. Would you prefer to live in a community in which everyone were the same (no difference in language, religion, sexuality, and so forth) or one in which such differences exist? Why?
Your response should be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
Question 8
The relationship between humans and their environment is perhaps the most central of all relationships within the discipline of geography. What energy source or sources do you see as the most viable response to growing energy demands and energy independence in the U.S.? Provide at least one benefit and one limitation of one of the energy source(s) you proposed.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

Alice Walker and Gloria Anzaldua can be understood to be writing about identity. Compare and contrast how they explicitly and/or implicitly define identity. What role do factors such as gender, race, language and beauty play in their definitions?

Compare and contrast the rhetorical strategies of Sor Juana and Pericles. Consider their uses of ethos, logos, and pathos. How can the ways they employ these strategies be understood as functions of the audiences they are addressing?

Both Cardinal Newman and Elaine Scarry place great value on beauty. On the one hand, Newman praises civic beauty, concluding, “Your cities are beautiful, your palaces, your public buildings, your territorial mansions, your churches; and their beauty leads to nothing beyond themselves” (37). Elaine Scarry, on the other hand, insists that “beauty leads us to justice” (279). For what reasons does each author value beauty? Analyze and evaluate each argument; who makes more sense to you? Why?

Analyze William Blake’s etching of “The Tyger” in terms of Edmund Burke’s “The Sublime and Beautiful.” Among other things, you might consider Burke’s claim that words rather than images are better suited to effecting the sublime.

Compare Aristotle’s and Plato’s views on rhetoric. What underlying assumptions might have contributed to their very different ideas about the art of persuasion?

Compare Sor Juana’s story of learning to read with Frederick Douglass’s experiences in “Learning to Read.” How are they similar? How are they different?

Analyze the role of rhetoric in the “networked movements” as presented by Zeynep Tufekci in “Networked Politics from Tahir to Taksim.” Use one of the “classic” texts on rhetoric (Plato, Aristotle, or Augustine) as a point of comparison.

Compare Elaine Scarry’s argument to that of Mo Tzu or Boethius. How do the authors understand the relationship between beauty and politics, beauty and justice?

Acquiring talented individuals is essential to an organization’s success. A recruitment process is used by human resources to find and attract job applicants to fill open positions. If the recruitment process is not done properly, it may generate job applicants who lack diversity or are unqualified. By having a specific sequence of activities to recruit high quality candidates, an organization can effectively compete for qualified applicants.

As the human resources professional, you are expected to work with the supervisor of the position being created to provide the technical competencies in candidate selection.

Research the process for filling a job vacancy and address the following:

• List the sequence of activities that are involved in hiring a new employee, and give a brief explanation of each step.
• Explain the data that should be included in a job analysis of that position.
• Describe how a job analysis becomes a position description.
• Describe how the human resources professional guides the selecting supervisor in applying good selection criteria, with consideration of U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requirements to choose the best candidate.

Note: Be sure to include at least 3 references in your paper.

 

Explain how one famous Supreme Court decision or one landmark piece of legislation has helped the cause of African Americans, women, gays, or another minority group. Cases such as Brown v. Board of Education, the Nineteenth Amendment, or Goodridge v. The Department of Public Health can be discussed. Include the history of mistreatment of the group in question, the details of the law, and how the plight of the group it affected has improved.

Discuss how the traits of ethical leaders and the influence of the group affect moral responsibility. Provide an example in your writing.
